You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 445

After struggling for a long time, Mr. President finally walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

The smile on Stern's face is enough to be a role model for all businessmen, see?From now on, you profiteers should imitate his smile, which not only makes people feel warm, but also makes you feel that you are very cunning and wicked.

The expression on his face makes it impossible to see that the league will be suspended in nine days.

"1998 NBA Draft."

"The Los Angeles Clippers have selected .Michael Olowokandi, from University of the Pacific!"

The cheers at the scene almost lifted the ceiling. This is Toronto and Memphis, not Los Angeles. Even in Los Angeles, the fans there will boo because the team chose Olowokandi instead of cheering. .

Yes, these people are cheering the Clippers' selection, because they successfully brought out a parallel importer who might lure the team into a strong draft because of the so-called potential.

The Los Angeles Clippers weren't picked at random to be the laughing stock of the league; rather, they earned that nickname.This year is a perfect example of what makes the Clippers the Clippers.With Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce on the line, along with three other future All-Stars, the Clippers drafted Michael Olowokandi from the little-known Pacific University.Olowokandi has had a flawless career, with highlights including being accused of rape and impregnating the victim, and being electrocuted by police outside a nightclub.

Heh, another rapist.

Mo Mengchen sneered in his heart.

Then, tonight's first protagonist, Olowokandi, stood up to the cheers of the audience and walked to the stage with a Nigerian African smile on his face.

Olowokandi is 7 feet tall and weighs 270 pounds. He will make countless people question whether the Clippers chose the champion because he was too close to the background and hardware of the big dream Olajuwon. , or that star face that resembles the head of the team in the same city?
Which niche? In 1998, who else could the Los Angeles Lakers be called niche players?

Look at Olowokandi's melancholy eyes, mischievous curly hair, well-groomed mustache, and cheeks full of embarrassing stubble. The Clippers definitely have this reason for choosing him. Like the popular niche of the Lakers.

It's not about looks, but temperament.

If you don't believe me, please find a photo of the popular niche of the Lakers in the 9899 season and compare it yourself.

"You don't seem to approve of this choice?" Hussman asked with a smile.

"A shitty choice." Mo Mengchen answered him firmly.

Then there was the second pick. The Raptors couldn't find anyone to trade, so in desperation they chose Vince Carter with the second pick.

The Canadian trapeze walked to the stage with a smile, exactly the same fate as his previous life.

It's just that the current Raptors no longer have his cousin.

With the third pick, the Nuggets chose Riff LaFrentz, just like in their previous lives. He was a big kite who averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game in his peak period. He was handsome. Although he doesn't have much fame, he can score 30 points, 13 rebounds and 7 blocks in 2 minutes in the future. He can shoot well and make free throws accurately. In the small ball era, he is worth at least 0.5 cannon coins.

Then, the fourth pick.

Mo Mengchen started to get serious. Since Weber had confirmed that he would go to the Trail Blazers, the flamboyant Kings team he was familiar with would no longer exist. So, whether this team will pose a threat in the future depends on today's draft.

If they can make good use of the fourth and fifth lottery picks, they can also build a terrific ship.

"1998 NBA Draft,"

"The Sacramento Kings selected .Mike Bibby with the fourth pick in the first round, from the University of Arizona!"

Not to mention his achievements in the NBA, last year he led the team in Arizona as the core team to defeat Kansas led by Pierce and North Carolina led by Carter, and finally won Kentucky in overtime and became the 1997 NCAA champion.

Contrary to White Chocolate, this is a person who is calm to the extreme, extremely good at pick-and-roll offense, and the jump shot after the pick-and-roll is very threatening. It is not a loss at all to pick him with the fourth pick, although he has never been selected to the All-Star, and has never No best team ever, but he is definitely an underrated player.

The white devil stood in front of the stage, and the king immediately gathered two young talents, Maddie and Bibby.

"Who are they going to pick with the fifth pick?"

"They wanted to trade with Denver, but they were rejected." Hussman laughed. "Maybe Antawn Jamison."

Yeah?Mo Mengchen didn't have the slightest impression of Mr. [-] points.

Then, 10 minutes passed.

Stern came to the stage again: "In the 1998 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings selected him with the fifth pick in the first round."

Stern's eyes under the flower glasses trembled.

This detail has not escaped Mo Mengchen's observation—who is it?
Is this pause too long?Doesn't Stern know how to pronounce the name?
Could it be that a name flashed in Mo Mengchen's mind.

"Dirk Nowitzki!"

"From Germany!"

"WHO?"

The commentator at the scene called out directly.

"Dirk Nowitzki? Who is this?"

"German? A power forward with a height of 211 cm?"

"Template Larry Bird?"

"Is Sacramento crazy? Keith Van Horn has proven that every guy who uses "Legend" as a template is not reliable!"

At the same time, the Mavericks were heartbroken.

Their scouting team noticed Nowitzki when he was 17 years old. Until he announced his participation in the draft this year, the team happened to be rebuilding, so they thought about making a trade to get him. Unexpectedly, the Kings cut him Take love.

Next, what they have to do is to find a trade with the Kings. If possible, they must replace Nowitzki.

For Mo Mengchen, this was an unexpected but reasonable result.

The Kings have always favored European players. In the 96 draft, they won Peja, and news spread that they were going to actively pursue Divac, who was already in free agency.

Rick Adelman doesn't care about the nationality of the players. He values ​​skills and team awareness. Most European players meet his requirements, not to mention the European elite players like Divac and Peja.

McGrady + Bibby + Nowitzki + Peja + Divac?
He was dizzy for a while, why does this team look better than the Kings team in the previous life?
In addition to the fact that the inside line may become a cash machine, this lineup can play well in any era. It requires three-pointers, three-pointers, organization, and ability to attack. McGrady Bibenowitzki is not a vegetarian.
I rely on!

Mo Mengchen scolded in his heart.

"Mo, what's the matter with you?"

Husman saw that Mo Mengchen ate several mouthfuls of durian cakes in a panic.

He dared to bet that Mo Mengchen absolutely didn't like this food, but now he ate several bites in a row, and he didn't realize that he was eating.

He was preoccupied with other things entirely.

Mo Mengchen suddenly felt that some things are better to let nature take its course. How could this history become more and more perverted?
Although Webber's Kings team forced the Lakers to a last-minute loss, they were still inferior to that Lakers team after all, and this new Kings team gave another feeling.

As long as these people grow up steadily, without internal strife or quarrels, and work together to play together before parting ways due to the explosion of salary space, even the OK Lakers will have to be restless, right?
The draft continues.

The helpless Grizzlies can only choose Jason Williams, who they don't want. Their first target is Mike Bibby, and now they choose this because there is no other choice.

It is certain that after the draft is over, before signing a contract, the white chocolate with the Grizzly logo hat will be put on the shelves and sold everywhere.

Then, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Larry Hughes with the seventh pick, a member of the future All-Defensive Team and Iverson's personal ass-wiping guard.

Then came the Rockets with the eighth pick.

The Rockets this season had to be bad. Failure to get Barkley two years ago made them lose their competitiveness. The increasingly old dream fell like a comet. No one knows where he will fall, but he does It has the dominance it once had.

Glider chose to retire after another disappointing season.

In the 9798 season, Dameng was plagued by injuries. The Rockets won one game and lost one game, and then entered the lottery zone.

Before the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, they conducted a clearance sale, selling all the immediate combat power in the team and accumulating considerable draft picks for the future.

Even in this hastily-bad season, they have three first-rounders.

The eighth pick is their top pick.

There is news that they will take this draft pick to select Houston's local high school superstar Rashad Lewis.

Moreover, Lewis also likes the Rockets very much. He tried out for the Rockets twice. It can be said that you are affectionate and I am interested.

In the end, the name that came out of Stern's mouth was not Lewis who was sitting in the little green room.

"Year 1998."

"The Houston Rockets selected...Paul Pierce with the eighth pick in the first round, from the University of Kansas!"

Pierce was once considered a popular candidate for the No. [-] pick, and this position now belongs to fellow Kansas brother LaFrentz.

There are three reasons why the Nuggets don't want him: First, the Nuggets have the five positions, the small forward is the most manned, and the center and point guard are their weaknesses; For a while, he was a 206 cm insider who was good at fake moves and throwing three-pointers. Lavrentz seemed to be carved out of him; thirdly, Lavrentz actively participated in the trial training of several high-ranking teams. Pierce was a bit overbearing, and his attitude was loose during the trial training. He was the boss and my second child all day long. The idiots didn’t choose me to try it out. The old-school general managers believed in the experience of on-site observation. Franz is popular.

There's another reason why Pierce's final scouting report before the draft was full of lies.

Scouts don't think highly of Pierce's mental attributes. He is disorganized and disciplined, plays big names, doesn't like training, and can't fight tough battles.

For these evaluations, the commentators on the scene resolutely resisted and ridiculed.

"Those definitions of Paul Pierce are bullshit," said the on-site commentator. "He will give Houston a lot of help. He will bring them the offense they lack. Strong, breakthroughs, jump shots, singles, using screens to run open, etc., are all his scoring methods, and he is good at everything."

Mo Mengchen rubbed his eyes.

So far, in the 1998 draft, those stars who were selected in the lottery position have settled one by one.

Next, Mo Mengchen only cared about who would get those lost pearls.

And, can the Pistons get what they want.

　Thank you Fei Yi for the rewards, and thank you five more the day after tomorrow.Because I expect to update to the new season the day after tomorrow, I can only post some daily routines at the fifth shift tomorrow, which is meaningless????
