Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 219 The choice that shocked the world
Madison Square Garden is a place known all over the world. It is not only the home court of the New York Knicks, but also the place where the NBA draft is held every year. Every year, many young people who love basketball yearn for this place. They were selected by the team that liked them here, and then made their own way in the league, but I don't know how many young people were selected, but left the NBA sadly in a few years, completely shattering their dreams.

The draft for the 99 season was a few days later than previous years, but the quality of this year's players is no less than that of the 98 draft. Many teams want to add more strength to their teams in this year's draft.

This year, the Houston Rockets have attracted much attention. This year's championship team actually won this year's No. [-] pick here.

It is undeniable that the Rockets also paid a huge price for this. Three main substitute players and two first-round picks. After sending out three players, they only got one inside substitute player. The buyout contract, the Rockets paid a huge price for signing this manor.

And when some people can't see clearly what the Rockets want to do, some people have already understood the Rockets' thinking, and they see that the Rockets are about to make a choice that shocks the world.

Before the start of the draft, Paul Allen appeared in front of Tiger wearing a red envelope. Tiger looked at the kid and shook his head helplessly and said, "Paul, what kind of plane are you kidding? This is the scene of the NBA draft. It’s not a fashion show you’re at, it’s mostly a bunch of basketball players, not models who look really tender.”

Paul held a huge cigar in his mouth, looked at Tiger, and said calmly: "Okay, Tiger, I just came here to say hello to you. It's really not easy for you kid to get the number one lottery this year. In the end, even a player like Mutombo moved, you boy is really good at it."

Tiger smiled wryly and asked Paul to sit beside him and said, "Yeah, I'm a little hurt. I regret getting the No. [-] lottery right now."

Paul looked at Tiger with contempt, took a deep puff of the cigar, and said, "You just pretend, what kind of loss-making business can you do, tell me, who are you eyeing."

Tiger curled his lips and said, "What can I tell you, I can't hide anything from you. Anyway, I'm the No. [-] lottery. I'm not afraid of your participation. What will happen to a No. [-] pick from China?"

After listening to Tiger's words, the cigar on Paul's mouth had fallen to the ground, and Paul's mouth could almost fit into a fist. The shocked expression on his face made Tiger really happy to see.

After a few seconds, Paul hurriedly picked up the cigar on the ground, closed his scary mouth, and whispered in Tiger's ear: "You kid is too good at forgetting, your team There is the first Chinese player to land in the NBA, and here is the first NBA No. 3 player from China. My God, the entire Chinese market will be crazy for your Rockets. No, such a good deal cannot make your team I did it, and after 2000 years, I will offer an annual salary of [-] million, and your Chinese kid must play for the Trail Blazers, even if I throw money at him, I will also throw him at him."

Tiger glanced at Paul calmly, and said, "Do you think I will be short of money?"

Hearing this, Paul's flushed cheeks seemed to have been poured directly by cold water, and he immediately returned to normal, and said with a long sigh: "You boy, you are a goddamn genius, and now I don't admire anyone, but you boy , What Bill, what Buffett, what Soros, you are a scum in front of you. When the dot-com bubble burst this year, you made a lot of money again. Now I don’t know how many people hate you. "

Tiger was still the same, and said very calmly: "It's because they are stupid, they are willing to give me money, who is the blame, if anyone still makes trouble like this in the future, it is best to notify me in advance, and ask I am not responsible for accidentally hurting anyone when I strike."

Paul looked at Tiger's appearance, shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, got up and said goodbye, and returned to the seat on the side of Pioneer and this side, watching the progress of the draft in silence.

About a quarter of an hour later, the draft officially started. When Stern presented the list of players selected by the Houston Rockets, Stern was very disturbed, because after the young rich man entered the Houston Rockets, the Rockets broke out. There was a lot of energy.

They overturned Michael Jordan, the idol established by the league. They only had 2 years to build a team of kings and swept the power alliance.

They have been the overlord of the NBA for two consecutive years. Under such circumstances, the Rockets deservedly become a new generation of idols in the league.

I don't know what amazing move they are going to make today.

Stern opened the Rockets' draft list. After being surprised for a moment, he read aloud: "No.1, the Houston Rockets chose the center Yao from the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club in China."

All the people present were stunned, and all the clubs were stunned. This is why the Rockets chose a big man from China, a center. Oh my God, what happened to the Rockets.

For a while, the Rockets and Dayao became the center of the media storm all over the world, a champion from China.

Even Dayao, who is in China, was also surprised. This year, a staff member from the Houston Rockets asked Dayao to participate in this year's NBA draft. At the beginning, Dayao didn't want to participate because he felt that he was not strong enough. However, due to the repeated invitations from the Rockets staff and the invitation from the Houston Rockets’ Asia director, Dayao finally agreed to participate in this year’s draft. And he can't participate in the NBA league right away, but what he never imagined is that the Rockets actually won the No. [-] pick this year, and also chose him as the No. .

Tiger calmly listened to the discussions of everyone around him off the court. When Dawson spoke on behalf of Yao Ming and the Rockets, Dawson simply said one sentence: Time will tell whether today's choice is right or wrong.

After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat, Rocket was accepting other people's discussion with a very calm expression.

While everyone continued to discuss the Rockets' draft, the league's draft continued.

After the Rockets made a choice, the Grizzlies, who were about to choose a guard at the second place, made adjustments again. The Grizzlies chose Elton Brand, so that the Grizzlies already had a terrifying strength in the interior , with the addition of Isaiah Ryder who was thrown to the Grizzlies by the Blazers, the Grizzlies seem to have some background of a strong team, Rasheed Abdul, Osella Harrington added For Brand, it seems that the grizzly's spring is coming.

Charlotte, No.3, chose Francis, and Francis, who originally thought he was going to the cold Vancouver, was very satisfied with Charlotte.

The Clippers got Davis ahead of schedule, which made them very excited.

The Toronto people found another helper for Carter, Odom. Although this kid always likes to distract himself, as long as he is serious, he is still very powerful.

The Timberwolves still chose Szczerbiak, the parallel importer of Bender, who was delayed.

The following basically nothing changed, Hamilton went to Washington, Cleveland chose Andre? Miller, the Sun still chose Sean Marion, and the Hawks still chose Terry.

Cleveland has changed at No. 11. Bender was picked away, but even if he was picked, the person they picked was also a parallel importer.

The Supersonics selected Corey Maggette, Chicago selected Artest, and Denver selected James Posey to make a good deal. The Hawks, who got the Rockets' first-round right, chose the future AK-47. I don't know if the future inside combination of him and Bus can become one of the best inside combinations in the league.

And the Chicago Bulls, who got another first-round pick from the Rockets, chose another European player at the suggestion of the Rockets, Gordon Gilicek. Although I don't know if he can come right away, it depends on the means of the Chicagoans. up.

Looking at the upcoming second round of the draft, Tiger didn't know how to describe it. For a player like Ginobili, Tiger didn't know whether he should pick it himself or leave it to the Spurs. After thinking for a long time, Tiger decided not to let the Spurs take advantage of this advantage.

If you can't pick up cheap Spurs every year, it's really invincible.

So, Tiger quietly wrote a note and handed it to Mavericks coach Nelson. Although the Rockets also wanted to win, the last pick in the second round made the Rockets really powerless.

After Nelson quietly received Tiger's note, he was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately reacted, and immediately replaced Ginobili's name in his selection list.

Sure enough, Ginobili should have been selected by the Spurs in the penultimate place, and he appeared in the 36th place in the second round.

Such a choice made the Spurs coach Popovich's face change at that time.

A player he had admired for a long time was robbed by the Mavericks.

However, many teams have not realized that the formation of the most terrifying Texas top three in later generations has been completed.

After selecting Ginobili, Old Nelson read the information sent by the Rockets. After reading it, his heart was overwhelmed.

With such a person, the Mavericks can definitely become one of the most powerful teams in the league with two excellent inside blue-collars.

The noisy 99 draft came to an end. At the end of the draft, Nelson caught up with Tiger and expressed his gratitude to Tiger. The old Nelson said, "Mr. Tiger, thank you so much."

Tiger said with a smile: "Old Mr. Nelson, you should call me Tiger, Mr. Mr. or Mr. Mr."

Old Nelson also laughed, and said angrily, "Okay, then I'll call you Tiger, and you can just call him Tang."

Tiger said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

The two chatted for a while, and the old Nelson finally asked the question in his heart. He heard the old Nelson say, "Tiger, why did you help our Mavericks?"

Tiger blinked mischievously and said, "It's so boring to have an alliance with no opponents, don't you think so, Don."
