Chapter 116 The Clippers regret, Kong Bu is waiting to see the joke
On the second day after the regular season awards ended, the annual draft lottery conference began.
Kong Bu attaches great importance to this draw.
Logically speaking, the Raptors won the first place in the league record, and their draft picks have been fixed, namely the 29th pick in the first round and the 29th pick in the second round respectively.
The draw of lots has nothing to do with them.
Kokonbu had a verbal agreement with Lao Feiqi and Dumas before that the Clippers would make two core players to trade their first round picks.
The Pistons are the first round picks between the two sides.
In addition, when trading Snow, he got a first-round pick from Green Kai. Green Kai did not enter the playoffs, and they will also participate in the lottery.
Even if the Raptors did not participate in the lottery, they were very present at the lottery conference. At least three of the 13 draws were related to them.
The lottery meeting did not last long, and in less than half an hour, Kong Bu had already learned the results with satisfaction.
My little butterfly traveled through time has changed some history, but most of the draft picks are still the same as under normal circumstances.
The Clippers still drew the No. 1 pick.
The Grizzlies and the Nuggets respectively won the second prize and the Tanhua lottery, which is the same as under normal circumstances.
Originally, the fourth pick should be the Raptors' draw, but now the Raptors are rising and the fourth draw is drawn by the Warriors.
The Philadelphia 76ers won the No. 7 draw.
After Lukai got Snow, the signing changed. They originally had the No. 10 draw, but now they have only won the No. 13 draw.
The Pistons were originally the No. 11 draw, but now they have been the No. 10 draw.
Kong Bu couldn't help but feel happy. In this way, he had three lottery tickets, No. 1, No. 10 and No. 13.
Apart from the No. 1 pick, the remaining two lottery draws are not ranked high, but they are enough.
The lottery has just ended here, and in less than two hours, Kongbu received a call from Lao Feich.
He thought that Lao Feiqi was here to fulfill the verbal agreement and discussed using this No. 1 pick to sign for which two players in the Raptors lineup.
As a result, when Lao Feiqi opened his mouth, Kongbu's face turned pale.
"Kong, I'm fired."
“I can’t fulfill our promise.”
"Damn Sterling, he had promised me before to use our first round pick to trade with the Raptors, and he regretted it."
"He deserves to go to hell!"
Old Feich's voice was hoarse when he was angry. It seemed that he had just had a big fight with Clippers boss Sterling.
He is not only angry now, but also feels ashamed and ashamed.
What was ashamed was that he had a verbal agreement with Kong Bu. The situation has changed now, and the agreement was obviously invalid. He would definitely be sorry to Kong Bu.
He was ashamed that he was one of the oldest coaches in the league, including Billy Brown and Old Nelson, but the boss didn't buy his account at all, and said he would smold him.
Even if the verbal agreement has no legal effect, everyone is in this alliance. If the verbal agreement is back on its word, how can we meet people in the future?
Conbu was also so angry that his teeth were itchy. He thought with his big toe and could see Sterling's tricks.
At the beginning, I agreed to the verbal agreement made by Kong Bu, because the Clippers have not drawn lots yet. If they draw a No. 4 draw and exchange it for the two core players of the Raptors, they will make a lot of money.
Even if it is a No. 2 sign, Sterling may not regret it.
However, they drew the No. 1 pick. Who doesn’t envy Duncan when the Spurs won the No. 1 pick?
It just so happens that the most popular No. 1 pick this year is also an inside player, Michael Olovo Candy.
Of course, fans in later generations know that this is one of the most soccer No. 1 picks in NBA history. Before Kwame Brown and Bennett appeared, he was even the most soccer one.
But this is just a hindsight. Who dares to say that Olovokandi is a parallel product? That is definitely a clown who attracts attention.
He is 211 cm tall and has a wingspan of 229 cm long. He claims to have infinite room for upwards. The rising space mentioned here refers to his bounce ability.
The track and field and rugby he practiced before he was 17 years old, which easily reminded people of Chamberlain, who had been engaged in track and field before playing basketball.
He was born in Nigeria and only came into contact with basketball after he was 17 years old. In just three years, he averaged 20+10+3 blocks in the NCAA, which reminded people of his dream of being a Nigerian and also being exposed to basketball very late.
He broke all the records in the basketball training camps he participated in, whether it was touching high or speed.
The talent show template is Dameng, but this template has a lot of controversy, and many people think that its template is more like an admiral.
Such an extremely shining super insider seedling was drooling in the Clippers.
Conbu even knew very well that Sterling was not the only one who made the verbal agreement to renege, but Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor must also support this decision.
Baylor played as a small forward when he was a player, but he was a bit like Old Thomas, and he valued the center position very seriously.
Under normal circumstances, it was Baylor's decision to win Olovokandi. His original words were "Center and point guard are the two most important positions on the court, and we definitely don't want to miss such an excellent center."
In the minds of the older generation of players, the number five and number one are indeed the most important.
The more Kong Bu thought about it, the more angry he became, "Old guy, don't be angry anymore, there is no need."
"I have not disclosed our verbal agreement to the outside world, and even Old Thomas doesn't know."
"Now you and me, Sterling and Elgin know, so you don't have to think too much."
Kong Bu suppressed his anger and began to comfort Lao Feiqi.
Old Feiqi is absolutely innocent in this matter.
"Kong, I talked to you once before, and I really hope to coach for another two seasons."
"Strive to win a thousand victories."
"It's a pity that when I encounter such a thing, I think this may be my destiny."
"It's time to say goodbye to this league."
Old Feiqi said disheartenedly.
When encountering such an embarrassing thing, the old man had no face and felt a desire to retreat in his heart.
Kong Bu hurriedly dissuaded, "Fate is a trick to fool the weak, and I never believe in fate."
"Old guy, things are not as bad as you think."
"Go to the Nuggets, I heard from Old Thomas yesterday that they fired Bill and are currently recruiting new coaches."
The Nuggets have won the last place in the league this season, and the 40-year-old freshman coach Bill Hanzlik was of course fired.
Conbu remembers that the person who replaced Hanzlik happened to be D'Antoni, the future master of running and bombing tactics.
However, it is hard to cook without rice. D'Antoni's tactical ability is beyond doubt, but he was unable to save the Nuggets. He was fired after only coaching the Nuggets for one season.
It was not until he became the head coach of the Suns in 2003 that he truly became more and more powerful.
"Nuggets? Kong, you're adding pressure to me."
"I am indeed not that superstitious about the strong team, but the Nuggets are not as good as the Clippers. Even if I coach for another four years, I may not be able to win a thousand times."
"Kong, thank you for your kindness."
Lao Feiqi smiled bitterly. The Nuggets only had 11 wins this season. Even if he coached the Nuggets, it would be difficult for the Nuggets to win 20 wins in a single season with their current lineup.
"No, old guy, the Nuggets' current lineup is really not good."
"But what if Stephen and Camby are added? Two defensive players can definitely transform the defensive strength of a team."
"My agreement with you is still valid. When you go to the interview, you can ask them to call me."
Kong Bu didn't know if he was influenced by traditional culture of respecting the elderly and loving the young, so he really wanted to help a bunch of old Feiqi.
Even if Lao Feiqi left the Clippers, Kong Bu didn't want the agreement to be invalidated.
"Kong, are you serious?"
"The Nuggets are the No. 3 picks, and the two best players this year are center Olovo Kandy and Bibby from the University of Arizona."
"The third sign can't choose both of them."
"If you do this, you will lose a lot. It's hard for you to explain to Thomas."
Old Feiqi quickly refused, he didn't want Conbu to be difficult for him.
"Lost? In fact, it won't be a loss. At worst, let the Nuggets send their 23rd picks together."
"I remember they had two first-round picks this year."
The Nuggets did have two first-round picks this year, with the third pick choosing Reeve Lafrenz, and the 23rd pick choosing Tyron Lu.
Wu Sheng is a member of the first team of the new defense team. He was also selected as an All-Star as a rookie. He has excellent offense and defense, and is also relatively strong and righteous. He is very suitable to be the boss of a weak team.
Cambie is also in the second team of defensive team and is also young, but because the Raptors have too many inside lines, he does not have so many opportunities to play.
Once the Nuggets dreamed of starting, he averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game, without any problem.
