NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Then, on May 5st, the NBA lottery draft pick drawing ceremony just ended this year!

(The draw will be held on Wednesday of the third week of May every year, which is around May 5th, Beijing time)

The Celtics, who had a completely bad season with only 15 wins and ranked last in the league, got the third pick!

After knowing the result, Auerbach also looked very upset!

"You're afraid I'll get a chance to take advantage of you, so you don't even give me a second pick, right?"

The cardinal was very dissatisfied with David Stern's "anti-thief" targeted approach.

Besides, he has no intention of managing and coaching the Celtics to dominate the NBA for another ten years!

Have you ever seen an 80-year-old man working hard for an NBA team?

If it weren't for the early deaths of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis, would Auerbach have to go out in person?

Len Bias was a genius who was also highly anticipated in the 90s and whose talent was comparable to that of "Old Rogue". He was selected by the Celtics.

Although Reggie Lewis was not selected high in the draft, he was discovered by the Celtics for his outside talent when he first entered the league and was regarded as the team's outside core.

It’s a pity that both of them died young!

"Do you really think that Michael, who you held in your hands, is invincible?"

"Give me the kid from last year to train for a few years, and I can train him to be able to defeat Michael!"

The kid that Orbach was muttering about was none other than the "catch snake" Lao Ke!

Actually, this story has to start with the shark's death!

The old rival Los Angeles Lakers have already acquired core players who are capable of serving as cornerstones, but the Celtics have not made any progress at all.

How to do it?

In 1996, if you wanted to build the cornerstone of a team, the most direct way was to go to the Golden Generation Draft Conference to find out!

As long as you are not particularly blind, finding a cornerstone for building a team is easy!

So, at the 1996 Star of the Stars draft, Auerbach took a liking to the then "rough snake" Lao Ke at first sight!

After that, Auerbach used his personal connections to reach a PY deal with Ainge, then general manager of the Suns.

Unexpectedly, the game was intercepted!

This was also one of the rare times that Auerbach missed.

The No. 3 pick that the Celtics got this season after playing poorly, if nothing unexpected happens, will be Auerbach's last mistake as general manager of the Celtics!

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, another accident will happen!

After May 5, a few days after the lottery draft pick drawing ceremony for lottery teams.

Auerbach's original first plan was to fool the Spurs' new head coach, Popovich, nicknamed Zhuge Vic.

Let’s see if we can solve the issue of who will be the No. 100 pick in this year’s draft through a trade!

After all, Zhuge Weiqi is young (48 years old), so who else can he fool if not young people?

Secondly, our Celtics have been resting for a whole season because of their poor performance. This team is free from injuries and has immediate combat power and future high draft picks for you to choose from. How can you not be tempted?

Auerbach is very confident.

But this time Popovich really resisted Auerbach's face and did not give him a clear trade commitment!

"They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio are you talking to me about?"

"Don't think that I just took over as the head coach of the team. Before this, I was doing the work of the general manager of the team!"

"I have been licking this max-level Duncan for several years. If I trade it to you now, am I stupid or are you stupid?"

"Besides, if I trade with you at this critical moment, David Stern will definitely write it down in my notebook and settle the score with me later!"

"In short, it is absolutely impossible to replace my old Dengtou!"

…………

Of course, the above words are all Zhuge Weiqi’s psychological activities.

The truth is, facing the chips thrown by the Cardinal, Popovich did not say anything final.

After all, the alliance still needs to pay attention to human relationships.

If you ignore him today, what if he becomes out of your reach tomorrow?

Always leave a way out for everything so that we can meet again in the future!

But no one expected that Zhuge Vecchi's ambiguous attitude at the moment and his decisive rejection of the Auerbach trade at the draft would be such a polar reversal.

This 80-year-old man, who has seen all the ups and downs in the basketball world, was so angry that his face turned red and he decisively chose to "retire" from the circle.

In this regard, David Stern can only say "Well done, Zhuge Vecchi!"

Of course, this would only happen if Auerbach had Plan A.

A week ago, attracted by TV, Auerbach came up with Plan B!

That is the "God Killer" that is being hyped by journalists and the media - the Yellow Man Flower Arrangement!

"I heard that old guy Timothy Lewick is interested in selling the team!"

Sitting next to him, Rick Pitino, the Celtics' new head coach who is about to take over, looked at the Cardinal in shock when he heard this.

"Ah? Boss, this...?"

Auerbach took a puff of his cigar happily, and then blew out a smoke ring gracefully:

"Don't get excited. I don't have that big of an appetite to eat a whole raptor."

"But I'm still interested in eating his core!"

"Help me check who is interested in the Raptors!"

Rick Pitino asked subconsciously:

"how about you?"

The cardinal stood up, waved his sleeves, pointed at the red-haired girl on TV, and then said as he walked:

"Of course I'm going to inspect the goods in advance!"

Rick Pitino countered:

"But those are not your goods... No... Those are not your people!"

Auerbach heard this and said without turning his head:

"Whatever I like, it's mine!"

The only thing left at the scene was the stunned yet excited expression of the Celtics' new head coach and the smell of cigars filling the room...

Then, the 80-year-old man took a private plane and arrived at the private room of Tianhong Stadium in a swift and decisive manner!

Hanamichi, who was targeted, knew nothing about this.

Now he was concentrating and paying full attention, and he only knew one thing:

That is to beat the Bulls team tonight so badly that even their mother won’t recognize them!
