Chapter 975: 2003 Lotto Lottery Conference

The 2003 lottery conference was held in New York at Madison Garden Plaza, which had just experienced a crushing defeat.

Momonchen and Dumas made their debut in full dress.

This time is different from last time. Last time it was Mo Mengchen waiting for the result on the court. Dumas went in to draw lots, and this time, the other way around.

After Dumas Stadium and other results, Mo Mengchen went to draw lots as a team representative.

Momondchen and Dumas stepped into the garden.

Seeing the man who defeated the Knicks with his own hands come here again, but he doesn't wear a uniform, play games, and wears a suit and tie, who would have thought how cold-blooded he is on the court?

The Knicks who went home to fish were not eligible for the event.

Teams that can attend are all weak teams with a bleak future and lack of genius. Teams like the Pistons that have won four consecutive championships and have won the best 77 wins in history this season actually have to participate in the lottery draw, which really gives people the feeling of "eternal night is approaching".

"Dor.Mo, please follow me." said the alliance staff.

Mo Mengchen looked at Dumas.

The big brother cast a relaxed look: "Don't think too much, it's no big deal."

"Wish me good luck." Mo Mengchen said.

After all, my luck has never been very good.

Mo Mengchen led the staff and entered the lottery room.

Or, it is more suitable for the ball room.

In the Stern era, there were three major reforms in lottery draws: starting in 1987, Lotto only draws the top three, and the subsequent draft order is arranged in reverse order of results; starting in 1990, the probability of drawing envelopes to small balls, and different teams' chances of drawing lottos are no longer the same, and the team's worse record is the greater the probability of drawing; starting in 1994, the combination of small balls has changed from 66 to 1,000, and the team's probability difference has become larger.

This approach has aroused some people's dissatisfaction.

Spurs head coach Popovich once strongly asked all lottery teams to have the same chances and reward teams with better record, so as to prevent bad performances.

Some people also believe that after excessive expansion, the talent pool in the NBA is smaller than that of the team and cannot make all teams competitive. Some teams will inevitably become bad teams and should protect them.

Before the thirteen team representatives touched the ball, a representative from the league came. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Judging from his skin, he was not very old, but because of his baldness, he looked young, his face was pale, and his eyes were deep. With this makeup, if a crew wanted to film vampires, this guy was very suitable to be an anonymous family of vampires. He didn't need to speak and just stood next to him. The audience would definitely be impressed by him.

Mo Mengchen knows who he is - Adam Xiaohua, the future president, the driving force behind the small ball storm, and ruining the prosperous country won by Stern. Chinese fans want to let him die.

This is Mo Mengchen's only impression of Xiao Hua.

When Xiao Hua came to power in his previous life, Mo Mengchen was no longer interested in the NBA. He only glanced at him in a few spare time, and he also heard about the deeds of the new president.

"I think all the representatives are very clear about the rules of drawing lots." Xiao Hua spoke slowly. Through his voice, you should know why Stern chose him as his successor.

Sissy always prefers sissy.

"The following are the serial numbers of the first three ranks."

The top scorer sign: 8, 25, 102, 333.

The team representatives with the above four sets of serial numbers will draw a LeBron James gift package.

Second-hand sign: 12, 69, 242, 653.

Tanhua Mark: 108,369,40,521.

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Please start."

The representative of the Timberwolves team, who has a 25% chance of winning the No. 1 pick, first stepped forward to draw the lottery.

The Timberwolves sent the masked man Hamilton. Generally, if they wanted to send players to draw lots, they would send top players. From this, it can be seen that the Timberwolves and Garnett have reached a difficult point in harmony.

Soon, the Hawks' team representative also touched the first ball.

Mo Mengchen stepped forward and looked at the big tank full of balls, and it felt very strange.

It is said that the alliance can control the draw, but if you touch it like this, what you draw depends entirely on luck, so how can you talk about manipulation?

Mo Mengchen put his hand in, and then felt something else, which seemed to happen naturally. In fact, some balls would take the initiative to send them to his palm.

It can be seen from this that this large cylinder containing balls is definitely not an ordinary glass cylinder.

There should be some remote control devices that can deliver the ball to the team representatives.

This feeling is difficult to detect because there are too many balls inside. Even if the ball is sent to the palm of your hand, it is difficult to detect because the touch is too dense.

Mo Mengchen's touch was extraordinary, which was closely related to his shooting talent. He accepted the gift from the league and directly pulled out the ball remotely controlled into his hand.

1

A totally useless set of serial numbers.

Mo Mengchen looked at Xiao Hua, and the other party smiled. He was like this to everyone.

"This is a good start, Mo," said Xiao Hua.

"It means we may draw the first pick today?" Mo Mengchen put the ball back.

There are many rounds of draws, but each round is very fast. Team representatives line up outdoors, and one person finishes drawing and one person immediately follows.

After an hour, teams with low probability have used up their chances.

Mo Mengchen probably accepted about ten gifts from the league, but the lottery balls drawn by these ten times were all serial numbers that had nothing to do with the top three picks.

He began to realize the essence of the gift.

The balls sent to him will never help him draw the top three picks.

Everyone who draws the lottery has a lucky mentality and a free and easy attitude of "it's you".

We all like to play games where volunteers take the bait.

The big jar that could not see the internal situation at all, put his hand in it, and some balls rolled into his hand, and most people would pull him out.

By using this psychology, the alliance can influence the results of the lottery to a certain extent.

Most people know this secret, but the gift from the alliance is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Mo Mengchen wasted ten chances before realizing that the league didn't want the Pistons to draw a top pick.

Therefore, he did not reach in from behind and directly draw the lottery ball from the top.

Through this method, Mo Mengchen won the top scorer 8 and 102.

There are also 12, 40 and 521, the second best.

With only one set of serial numbers, he can bring the team the best of the best.

"Mo, how does it feel tonight?"

Hamilton and Momonchen are the only players in the team's representatives. If they want to find someone to understand the situation, they can only find each other.

Because it was just a lottery draw, there was nothing to hide, and they couldn't decide the result.

"I'm still missing a set of serial numbers to get the No. 1 pick," said the Mask Warrior.

Mo Mengchen also told him about his situation.

"Good luck."

After a few more rounds, Mo Mengchen drew 108 and 40 of the Tanhua Lottery.

His luck was better than he imagined.

The top scorer and the Tanhua lottery are only two sets of serial numbers, while the second scorer is only one set.

A new round.

Hamilton returned in vain, and he could tell through the on-site reaction and his expression.

The representative of the Eagle also walked in. Although nothing could be seen from his face, the alliance did not send any message, indicating that the Eagle also had no assembly serial number.

"Don't, please."

Mo Mengchen walked in, looked at the big tank full of lotto balls, and then looked at the league staff.

"It's really hard today." Mo Mengchen stretched out his hand, but he didn't touch the ball on the upper floor like before.

This time, he reached his hand directly to the bottom and did not let the league send the ball to his hand. He grabbed a ball directly and quickly grabbed it.

333

This is the serial number belonging to the top prize.

After obtaining this set of serial numbers, he was only 25 left to the No. 1 pick.

"Congratulations, don't." Xiao Hua said with a smile.

His smile was not sincere. Mo Mengchen could see that the league did not want the Pistons to draw the top three picks. This was obvious. They were already strong enough and they didn't need to become stronger anymore.

What the league wants is not the Pistons dominant, but the Pistons maintain the status quo, while another team with equal strength appears to compete with them, so that the Hukai competition in the 1980s can be reproduced.

Now, Mo Mengchen was lucky enough to draw 333. The Pistons were left with only one set of serial numbers from the No. 1 pick and No. 1 pick.

"It seems you have drawn a good number." Hamilton couldn't help but smile when he saw Mo Mengchen's face full of spring.

"It's okay." Mo Mengchen immediately discovered that he underestimated the league's determination.

A new round begins
