Chapter 772 Public Enemy

In 2003, May 23 was the day when the NBA drew lots to determine the order of draft picks. On this day, LeBron James, known as the strongest high school student in the history of the American NBA, attracted much attention because he announced that he would participate in the draft.

If anyone can get the No. 1 pick, he will definitely sign LeBron James, the strongest high school student in history. This is a figure who can change the future of the team. Moreover, the quality of this draft is so high that it is commented by the outside world as a once-in-10 years.

A draft year comparable to the golden generation of 1996.

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony...etc., are all players who will be able to change the history of the NBA in the future. After today's lottery draw, the ownership of these people will be determined.

It's a rough idea. It's exciting to think about it.

Of course, this is not the reason why today's lottery draw ceremony has attracted much attention. Its first live broadcast ratings exceeded last year's draft. The real reason lies in only one team - the Houston Rockets.

Last summer, the Houston Rockets made a decision that almost shocked the entire league and made them angry. The Houston Rockets traded All-Star Steve Francis for the Cleveland Cavaliers' first-round pick, and then traded "Old Cat" Mo

Burry exchanged the draft picks that the Pistons acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies. Trading an All-Star and a quasi-All-Star for a first-round pick that was not reliable in the future was considered by all NBA experts at the time to be extremely idiotic and extremely

Stupid decision.

But now, the Cleveland Cavaliers have 17 wins and 65 losses, ranking last in the league, and the probability of winning the No. 1 pick is 25%. The Memphis Grizzlies have 28 wins and 54 losses, ranking fifth from the bottom in the league, and the probability of winning the No. 1 pick is 11.9%. See this

The probability, the owners of the remaining 29 teams in the league are confused. The probabilities of these two teams combined, there is a 36.9% probability of winning the No. 1 pick.

Thinking about the fact that the Houston Rockets are already one of the top teams now. The three rookies Yao Ming, Boozer, and Prince are all playing at a high level, and their future prospects are unlimited. In addition, Jordan is not completely old yet, and there is Billups.

The biggest surprise is that the Houston Rockets will become one of the strongest teams in the NBA in the next three years. This is the consensus of many NBA experts. Now, if the Houston Rockets get the strongest high school student in history, especially this strongest high school student, it will be just right.

It can fill the only shortcoming of the Houston Rockets - small forward.

Then the result is...

Horrible! The general managers of 29 NBA teams can only think of this word. If you think about it again, you will curse the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons who traded these two draft picks to the Houston Rockets. But ask yourself, if the Houston Rockets had used Steve

-Francis and Mobley came to exchange with them, and nine times out of ten they will definitely exchange. After all, who knows next year’s draft picks before the game starts. What’s more, although it is known as a big year for the draft, whether these players can play

Come on, who knows? Kwame Brown and Olowokandi are all lessons learned from history.

But after all, James holds the title of the strongest No. 1 pick in history, so he is always something to look forward to and someone who is willing to bet on him.

Damn, he's so lucky! - 29 NBA general managers secretly cursed. The person he cursed was none other than Lin Feng. Because it was Lin Feng who made these two "ridiculous" transactions.

You know, even if the Houston Rockets are not lucky enough to get the No. 1 pick, the Houston Rockets still have a 30.37% (Cleveland Cavaliers 17.8%, Memphis Grizzlies 12.57) chance of getting the No. 2 pick. And at the No. 2 spot, the small forward also has Carmelo Anthony.

Selected as the best player of this NCAA season, he led Syracuse University to win the first NCAA championship in the school's history and won the MOP (most valuable) player in the Final Four!

It can be said that the small forward position, the only shortcoming of the Houston Rockets this season, will be strengthened. The Houston Rockets next season will be even stronger and more perfect. And with the youth of the Houston Rockets lineup, in addition to Jordan, Rodman, and Olaju

Except for the three Wangs, the rest are all rookies, and they all have great potential. It can be said that the Houston Rockets have created a championship lineup for the next ten years.

Terrible! This can only be described as terrible. Many team managers are also more afraid of Lin Feng's vision. They sacrificed one year (actually it has not failed) to create a blueprint for a strong contender for the championship in the next ten years. This wisdom and foresight

His vision is frightening. However, many general managers have to lament that the world's richest man is the world's richest man, and his vision is indeed beyond what they can match.

Of course, for these general managers, the most worrying thing is not that the Houston Rockets won the No. 1 pick and selected LeBron James, but that the Houston Rockets won the No. 2 pick after winning the No. 1 pick. This is the first time in the 47-year history of the NBA that

This is the first time that a team has never received the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick at the same time, especially in a big year of the draft. If the Houston Rockets really get the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick at the same time, it will undoubtedly be a win for the other 29 teams.

A very disappointing news. Especially in such a big draft year.

In such a solemn, dull, and even hysterical atmosphere, the 2003 draft lottery began.

The 2003 draft lottery was also the first time the lottery was broadcast live. In addition to the appeal of LeBron James, the strongest high school student in history, it was also because of the two lottery picks of the Houston Rockets.

, it’s really eye-catching.

Since the Houston Rockets entered the playoffs, there were no lottery spots. Lin Feng, Avril Lavigne, and Li Zhiyou sat quietly at home and watched the lottery.

"Lin, can your team really get the No. 1 pick?" Avril Lavigne clenched her pink fists tightly, with a look of expectation and anxiety. Although Avril Lavigne was not a basketball fan before and did not like basketball, she was with Lin Feng.

Later, I fell in love with the NBA. No, to be precise, I fell in love with the Houston Rockets. Seeing the Houston Rockets' final exhaustion and defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, the little punk princess who never admits defeat was angry for several days.

Lin Feng, who had not slept well and was tired, almost broke his waist after listening to "Girlfriend" several times throughout the night.

Lin Feng was "unable to be disturbed" and introduced James to Avril Lavigne, saying that with this person joining, the Houston Rockets would definitely become the only candidate for the championship. After hearing that LeBron James was known as the strongest high school student in history, he also watched him

After the video, Avril Lavigne's face lit up. One year of NBA watching career also made Avril Lavigne understand that the first prerequisite for playing in the NBA is the body. With James' calf-like body, who else in the same position in the NBA

Can resist! Therefore, Avril Lavigne is eager for James to sign with the Houston Rockets. For this reason, Avril openly called on James to come to the Houston Rockets on various occasions, and threatened that as long as James can come to the Rockets, Avril will go to his alma mater to hold a small concert for free.

When Avril Lavigne's remarks came out, the entire NBA was stunned. NBA President David Stern was even more angry and glared, but there was nothing he could do. Although the NBA restricted players participating in the draft, teams were not allowed to contact them in advance. But Avril Lavigne

She does not belong to any team. Although she has a close relationship with Lin Feng, she can only represent herself. This undoubtedly gives Stern a headache.

You know, Avril is just 19 years old this year, and her punk style is very popular among American youths of similar age. It happens that most students at James’ alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, are also Avril’s fans. After Avril’s remarks were publicized by many media,

Students from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School have repeatedly called for James to go to the Houston Rockets so that they can see Avril Lavigne with their own eyes and feel her charm. James has also expressed his position in various public places, saying that he is also an Avril Lavigne fan and a Jordan fan.

I hope to go to the Houston Rockets and play on the same team as Jordan.

James' remarks naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the general managers of the other 29 teams in the NBA. You must know that James can not only improve the competitive level of a team, with his current popularity and market appeal, it can be said that he can also contribute to the franchise.

The team has brought in tens of millions of dollars in business revenue. Such a talent has now publicly stated that he is only willing to go to the Houston Rockets. How amazing is this.

Under the joint protest of 29 NBA team general managers, Stern had to shamelessly call Lin Feng, hoping that Lin Feng would ask Avril Lavigne to stop doing these extreme behaviors, so as not to destroy the harmonious atmosphere among NBA teams.

.Everyone eats from the same bowl to give some face. Although Avril Lavigne’s behavior is completely personal and has nothing to do with Lin Feng. But the relationship between Avril Lavigne and Lin Feng is so ambiguous. If Avril Lavigne has not got

Lin Feng gave instructions, who would believe it!

Therefore, in desperation, Stern had to shamelessly plead with Lin Feng instead of just issuing a ticket as usual.

Regarding David Stern's request, Lin Feng was very embarrassed at first, saying that it was Avril Lavigne's fault. With the personality of the little punk princess, there was nothing he could do. However, after Stern's repeated pleas, Lin Feng reluctantly agreed.

Agree and give it a try to stop Avril Lavigne from doing such extreme behavior so as not to irritate James and the general managers of the other 29 teams.

"By the way, Lin, why did you agree to that old fox Stern in the first place? Otherwise, if I appeal a few more times, James would definitely be our favorite." Avril looked at the live TV screen showing the candidates participating in this year's draft.

Some player introductions said.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Okay, Avril, doing too much of something may not be good. After all, if we want to play this game, we must abide by the rules of this game. If we become the public enemy, it may not be a good thing. Besides, as long as Jordan is here, there are two

If the lottery pick is there, James can't escape!" Lin Feng said with a confident smile. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the worst record in the league as "history", Lin Feng is naturally certain that James will definitely be selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and

It's just that he was drawn by his own team. In this case, Lin Feng really didn't have much to worry about. Of course, before the dust settled, Lin Feng was always a little uneasy.

Avril pouted indifferently. If Lin Feng is said to be a public enemy, Lin Feng has long been a public enemy. Will he care about this?
