Basketball UFO
Chapter 5 Signing the Contract (Page 12)
The draft was paused for a few minutes because of the trade. The Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick reached a deal with the Bucks with the fourth overall pick, and Marbury and Ray Allen swapped clubs.
Ray Allen failed to hold hands with Garnett and turned around to become a Bucks player. It would be 10 years before they successfully held hands. The Timberwolves got Garnett's good friend Marbury.
"Timber wolf? I am a lone wolf..." Marbury smiled. He is already looking forward to becoming the boss of the team. Garnett failed to succeed in leading the team, but he is confident that he can.
The draft continues.
The Celtics selected Antoine Walker with the sixth pick.
"Kyle, don't worry about the team's lineup. We have already negotiated with the Golden State Warriors. They will choose Vince Carter and trade them to us."
"Will Carter fall behind the 10th pick?" The Celtics coach couldn't believe it. "He has amazing talent, and I'm worried that other teams will take it away."
"The next few teams will all need inside players. In addition, the Nets have not tried out Carter, so don't worry." Saidi Zhizhu is in control. "The only thing we need to worry about is whether the Pacers will pick in the 10th pick." Bit cut off. Big Bird also likes Carter."
David Stern takes the stage again and now announces the Clippers' selection at No. 7 overall.
Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor and head coach Bill Fitch looked at each other and smiled, "I really don't understand what these teams are thinking, to be interested in such a young player. Our team needs immediate combat capabilities. I don’t have time to accompany the little one to grow up.”
"Carter came over for a tryout, and I admit that he is very good, but we don't have time to develop him." Elgin Baylor smiled happily, "And Kobe, I told him, if we choose him, he will become a joke to the entire Los Angeles. He 's agent is so annoying that he wants a high school kid to play in Los Angeles."
Bill Fitch smiled even more happily, "I finally found the reason for the Nets' failure. They are too obsessed with talent. Talent that has not yet been realized is not talent."
"Let's make a small profit." Baylor said, looking at Stern on the stage.
Stern opened the envelope and muttered:
In the 1996 draft, the seventh overall pick, the Los Angeles Clippers, their choice was Vince Carter.
When the voice fell, not only did the entire audience fall silent, but even Carter in the small green room was stunned.
What the hell kind of script is this?
When he went to the Clippers for a tryout, the other team didn't think highly of him. I didn't expect to choose him at such a moment.
Fagan was even more excited than Carter, "Vince, you are going to play in Los Angeles. The Clippers are really discerning, hahaha..."
Anyway, I was finally chosen. Vince Carter stood up, smiled, hugged his parents and friends, and then stepped out of the small green room.
Before taking the stage, he took the hat with the Clippers logo on it and put it on his head.
He walked up to the stage very naturally, scanned the audience, saw the management of each team, and then went to the host table to shake hands with David Stern.
Stern congratulated Carter. He was impressed by this student who had excellent academic performance in college. In Stern's eyes, good students can enhance the image of the NBA. Just like he often appoints Ray Allen as an All-Star substitute, just because Ray Allen has a better social image.
"I will become one of the greatest players in NBA history." Carter whispered to Stern.
In an interview with reporters, Carter showed his mature head, "No matter which team I join, the most important thing for me is to adapt to the new game rhythm and win more playing time."
Then he thanked his parents, his teachers and teammates at school, and his friends who have always been with him.
Larry Bird looked confused and made a miscalculation. How could the Los Angeles Clippers choose Carter? They have Rodney Rogers, Malik Healy and Brent Barry and other forwards and defenders on the team. There is no shortage at all, right? ?
He immediately picked up the phone and was about to call Baylor, but he didn't expect that he was on the phone.
"Gan, what are the Clippers doing?"
The Celtics also miscalculated. Auerbach was watching TV and suddenly had a bad premonition that Carter would be successful in the future, and would be very successful. He immediately called Sadie's phone and said, "Immediately apply for a trade with the Clippers. They just want to make a profit and will not keep Carter."
Baylor never put down the phone and was secretly happy. He didn't expect so many people to be crazy because of Carter. If Carter's development cannot meet expectations, then history will prove that he is the most successful person.
The rookie trade between the Timberwolves and the Bucks just now is just childish.
The entire northwest of Shanxi suddenly fell into chaos. The Pacers, Celtics, Knicks and Miami Heat were all making frantic calls, but the Clippers management's phones were all on the phone.
With the eighth pick, the New Jersey Nets selected Lorenzen Wright, a 211-inch center from the University of Memphis.
This player was a good character, but he was murdered by his wife in 2010...
Now he is full of ambition, puts on a Nets cap, and goes on stage to shake hands with Stern.
At this time, NBA officials once again came out with news.
The Los Angeles Clippers and New Jersey Nets reached a deal, Vince Carter and Lorenzen Wright swap clubs.
Carter, who had just finished being interviewed by reporters, was once again surrounded by reporters, "Vince, you are now a Nets player again."
"I finally understand why the NBA is a business league." Carter shrugged and said with a smile, "The Nets are a very good team. I will win playing time and strive to bring the Nets into the playoffs."
Whether it is the Clippers or the Nets, he is sure enough to win playing time. The advantage of joining a bad team is guaranteed playing time.
John Nash relaxed. The Clippers had agreed to the trade. He looked at the vice president beside him and said, "Bobby, it would be better to choose Vince than Kobe. He is the better one, I believe it."
"We have to find a way to explain it to the owners." Bobby Marks and coach Calipari laughed at the same time.
In Calipari's eyes, the talents of Kobe and Carter were embryonic superstars. I couldn't help but think in my heart, "As long as Carter is developed into a talented person, I may be able to lead the team to win the championship."
Fagan was still immersed in the joy of Carter going to Los Angeles to play. When he suddenly heard that the Nets had acquired Carter, he felt bad.
"Country team? My God, do they want to destroy Carter's business value?"
Carter doesn't know who the current boss of the Nets is, but he knows that a few years later, Kidd will join the team, with Keith Van Horn and Corey Kiddles, and reach the finals for two consecutive years.If the team starts to improve from now on, it may win championships in the next few years.
Thinking of it this way, the Nets are a good choice.
After the Nets, the Mavericks selected Samakhi Walker. Larry Bird, who was traded to the 10th pick, reluctantly selected Eric Dampier to strengthen the team's inside line.
Carter didn't pay attention to other rookies. He only knew that Kobe Bryant was selected by the Hornets with the 13th overall pick, Peja was selected by the Kings with the 14th overall pick, and Nash was selected by the Suns with the 15th overall pick. There were no changes.
Another eye-catching high school student, Jermaine O'Neal, was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 17th overall pick.
Poor Corey Kidders, originally the eighth overall pick, fell to the 18th overall pick and was picked up by the Knicks. The Knicks need outsiders and more immediate combat capabilities. Kidders has worked hard in college for three years and has matured. He is a suitable candidate.
