NBA: Teaming up with Thompson, the template for Atsushi Zihara

The NBA's lottery draw method has undergone many reforms in order to be as fair and fair as possible.

As early as 1985, David Stern, who had just taken office as the president of the NBA,

Then the lottery system was reformed, so that teams that did not make it to the playoffs have the opportunity to win the No. [-] lottery, and the probability is equal.

At that time, there were only 23 teams in the NBA, 16 of which entered the playoffs, and only 7 of the remaining non-playoff teams.

The envelopes with the names of the 7 teams were placed in a black box and drawn by David Stern.

The No. [-] pick that year was finally given to the New York Knicks, and the Knicks also selected one of the four major centers, the King of New York Patrick Ewing.

Every team in the league has doubts about David Stern's way of drawing envelopes with one hand covering the sky.
It is believed that David Stern deliberately signed the No. [-] pick to New York. After all, it has long been recognized that the Knicks are the son of the league.

After coming to the 21st century, the rules of the draft lottery were changed to the combination of table tennis numbers. This method is more fair, and it is difficult for even the president of the league to do tricks.

When the staff carried the transparent container containing 14 table tennis balls into the conference room,
The general manager and lottery representatives sitting in front of the table printed with the LOGO logo of each team,
The mood also became tense in an instant, and the dazzling brilliance radiated from the pupils.

David Stern announced the official start of the draw, and at the same time pressed the switch of the container.

It is similar to the lottery machine of Shuangseqiu in Big Lotto,

Every 6 seconds, a ping-pong ball will fall into the container until four ping-pong balls are dropped, and the numbers on these four ping-pong balls will form a sequence.

There are a total of 1001 combinations of numbers, one of which is removed, leaving 1.

And these 1000 combinations of numbers,
Already according to the record ranking of the 14 lottery teams, the probability of the number one lottery has been evenly distributed.

The New Jersey Nets with the worst record have a 28.6% probability of winning the No. 1000 pick, so they have 286 combinations of [-] numbers.
The Minnesota Timberwolves with the second-to-last record have a 16.9% chance of winning the No. [-] lottery.

So they have 1000 of the 169 combinations of sequences.

And so on...

When the four ping-pong balls hit the ground, the ownership of the No. [-] lottery was finally announced.

"The team that won the No. 2010 pick in [-] is: New Jersey Nets!"

David Stern loudly announced the result,

Although in terms of his personal wishes, he still hopes that the Knicks can get the No. [-] pick.

In front of the table with the Nets LOGO printed on it, Kiki Vandeweghe, the general manager and head coach, slapped the table and jumped up, pumping his fists and shouting excitedly.

Hugged tightly with the deputy general manager of the team beside him.

"OMG, thank God for His blessing!"

"The No. [-] lottery, haha, we finally got the No. [-] lottery!"

Vandeweghe was still calling John Wall,

But my heart has already begun to look forward to the new season of Qin Chong and Yi Jianlian, the pair of heavenly twin towers ruling the restricted area.

The general managers of the remaining 13 teams shook their heads and sighed softly.

However, the Nets' record is the bottom one after all, and it is reasonable to get the No. [-] lottery with the highest probability.

Next is the ownership of the second lottery,

The Washington Wizards, with their fifth-worst record in the league, were lucky to get the second overall pick.

Wizards general manager Tommy Shepard smiles,

Although he failed to get the No. [-] lottery by surprise, the second lottery is not bad.

There is no chance to win the Chinese Sharks, and the talented point guard John Wall is also very fragrant.

After all, in the eyes of these traditional American academy team managers,
Although Qin Chong's talent exploded, his mid-range sight was too poor.
Moreover, the weight seriously exceeded the standard, coupled with the attributes of the Chinese players,
Whether he can maintain his health in a high-level confrontation arena like the NBA is also a huge unknown.

"General" Arenas is already in the twilight years of his career, and John Wall was selected, which just allows the Wizards' starting point guard to realize the replacement of old and new.

The Philadelphia 76ers were next to draw the third overall pick.

Seeing that none of the top three picks were picked,

Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh was so desperate that he could already picture owner James Dolan throwing a tantrum in his office.

The next step is to quickly think of a way, can you fool the old guy Vandeweghe into the No. [-] pick in the trade.

As for the old guy saying that he would choose John Wall over Qin Chong, Donnie Walsh didn't even believe a single punctuation mark.

The 4th-14th picks are no longer drawn, but are arranged in order according to the record from worst to best.

The Minnesota Timberwolves get the fourth pick.

The New York Knicks get the fifth pick,

The Sacramento Kings get the sixth pick.

The Golden State Warriors get the seventh overall pick.
The Warriors won the seventh pick in the first round last year and selected Stephen Curry.

With the seventh pick again this year, the Warriors general manager has set his sights on one of Paul George and Gordon Hayward.

After the lottery ceremony,

More than a dozen teams took the lead in contacting the Nets general manager Vandeweghe, seeking the possibility of trading the No. [-] pick.

After all, the talent of Qin Chong, the great shark of the Celestial Dynasty, can be said to have reached a level that is rare in a hundred years.
If there is really a chance to get this potential stock, which team's management will not try it?
Although the scheming Vandeweghe had identified Qin Chong,

But he didn't say anything in public,

The inside and outside said that if you want the Nets to trade the No. [-] pick, it depends on whether other teams have enough sincerity.

Vandeweghe would like to see how crazy this year's No. [-] pick can drive other NBA teams.

With the number one lottery, it is so willful!
New Jersey is only 80 kilometers away from New York, and Vandeweghe was on the driver's way back,

Then I received calls from seven or eight teams in a row.

General Manager of the Chicago Bulls:
"Mr. Vandeweghe, do you think the No. [-] pick can be traded? Except for Derrick Rose, you can pick any other players!"

Vandeweghe smiled lightly at the phone: "Sorry, the signal is not good, I can't hear you!"

Thunder general manager:
"Mr. Vandeweghe, Westbrook and Harden are both for you, both of them are potential stocks!"

"We just want the No. [-] lottery. It would be even better if Yi Jianlian can be traded here. If not, we'll accept a trash contract. What do you think?"

Vandeweghe snorted coldly: "Add Durant, maybe we can think about it!"

The general manager of Lei Ting on the other end hung up the phone angrily.

A Qin Chong wants to change Thunder Third Young Master?Dreaming!

But the next phone call made Vandeweghe look serious.

It was from Heat general manager Pat Riley.

"Old Fan, is it sincere enough for Dwyane Wade to change your No. [-] pick?"

Vandeweghe didn't expect that the magic operator would even be willing to trade Wade.

At this time in 2010, "The Flash" Dwayne Wade can be said to be at his peak,
Last season, he just won the scoring title with an average of 30.2 points per game, and also ranked fourth in the regular season MVP selection.

This season, the Heat encountered the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. Even though Wade scored 42 points in a single game, they were still eliminated 1:4.

The teammates around Wade are really bad. Wesley is a thorn who refuses to accept discipline, and Haslem only averages 9 points per game.

Looking at the current NBA league, in terms of transaction value, Dwyane Wade can be said to be second only to LeBron James and Dwight Howard, and higher than Kobe.

After all, Kobe is 32 years old, and Wade is only 28 years old, at his peak.

In fact, Vandeweghe has always admired the player Wade very much, so at this moment, he fell into deep thought...
