Although the season is over, the work that the management of the league teams has to face is about to begin.

The most interesting thing in the United States in 1997 was the NBA draw ceremony. This is definitely not a joke. More than half of the NBA teams are playing badly just to compete for the "No. 1 pick" at the 1997 draft!

There is nothing to say. Tim Duncan, who has been in college for four years, finally participated in the draft this year. This is also the main reason why more than half of the teams were bad last year. Even Tim Duncan has too much influence.

It can be said that since the league was founded, Tim Duncan has only had this influence and has made so many teams crazy. Even Jordan, who participated in the draft in 1984, has never had such a situation, which shows how much attention Tim Duncan has paid in the United States.

Of course, James is also a rookie with such great influence in the future, but it will take until 2003, and now it is Tim Duncan's world.

Since Tim Duncan signed up for the draft, all the attention of the whole country, including the other three major leagues, has been attracted. This is really not a joke. In 1997, the sports industry across the United States targeted one thing, that is, who will Tim Duncan fall?!

NBA League President Sternter is particularly careful about this matter. It can be said that no one knows who the "No. 1 pick" belongs to this "No. 1 pick" until the lottery meeting ends?!

Including the "Cardinal" Auerbach, who is particularly crazy about Tim Duncan, it can be said that Auerbach has been planning to play the Celtics since Tim Duncan started playing in college. This is like this every year. Anyway, according to Auerbach's logic, he doesn't know when Tim Duncan will participate in the draft, which will not prevent him from getting Tim Duncan's ambitions. So the Celtics are really sad. In order for Auerbach to get Tim Duncan, the team has been playing the Celtics even in a bad way, and even the giants' teams are not even in the face. The bleak results of last season are enough to explain everything.

So according to the degree of Celtics' crazyness against Tim Duncan, if the team cannot draw this "No. 1 pick" in this year's draft, it would be strange if Auerbach is not crazy.

It can be said that the Celtics paid too much to get Tim Duncan, which is why Bruce knew that Tim Duncan had "belonged" but was worried about it very early.

Bruce really doesn't know if Auerbach will resign from his Celtic position as he did in his previous life.

In fact, this is true. If Auerbach had not had enough influence in the Celtics, the team would be a rookie every year as Tim Duncan, even if Tim Duncan is very awesome, he really can't afford to lose. The giant team must have the temperament of a giant team. Look at what the Celtics are like now. It's completely a good person and bullied by others. That's a big team?!

If it were someone else, I would have no idea what it would be like to be criticized by local fans in Boston. It is estimated that Boston fans may even come to the door to take action.

Really, it is absolutely no exaggeration. This is Auerbach. This old man has too high reputation in the local area. In addition, no one else, including the team boss, dares to play like this.

Just for a Tim Duncan, yes, just for a Tim Duncan!

...

Of course, there are many other teams who want to compete for the "No. 1 pick", and the two teams that are most concerned are the Spurs and Magic.

The Spurs won't say that in the past life, Popovich got the "No. 1 pick" or how he was planning to play badly, there are all on the Internet. It can be said that since the beginning of the regular season last year, Popovich did not want to compete for Tim Duncan, but just after David Robinson was injured, Popovich simply threw the pot and turned badly.

At that time, Popovich probably didn't expect that he would win the "big prize", right? His thoughts at that time were definitely what if he was going to win, it was definitely like this!

The Magic began to decline last season. It can be said that since O'Neal brought "talent" to Los Angeles, the Magic's inside line has been unable to hold on anymore. It is definitely unrealistic to refer to "penny" Anthony Hardaway alone, so the Magic's management also targeted Tim Duncan.

In fact, the Magic management has nothing to do with this goal. Wouldn’t it be a “shark”? If you can exchange it for a “stone Buddha” and come back, you will definitely make a profit.

O'Neal's bad temper will definitely cause a headache for the Magic management. If he can get Tim Duncan with a good temper, it will definitely be a good loss.

So the Magic's results last season can be seen, and this is another team that is fascinated by Tim Duncan.

As for the other teams, I won’t say much. They are all eyeing the “No. 1 pick” in 1997. Even if they win this “No. 1 pick” for trading, there is not no one there. After all, this “No. 1 pick” is too valuable. A Tim Duncan can exchange for a lot of first-round picks, and only a fool will choose not to trade.

Let me explain here that once college students who play in the NCAA participate in the draft and enter the NBA, many people are not adapted to the league, so there are so many rookies behind them. In fact, they are definitely at the star level in college, but once they enter the NBA, they lose themselves. This is also common. This is why many teams come for this "No. 1 pick" rather than for Tim Duncan himself, because they can't figure out what Tim Duncan will play after entering the NBA, so it is normal to use this "No. 1 pick" to seek trade with those teams who want Tim Duncan.

You should know that in the 1993 draft in his previous life, the Orlando Magic used their first draft pick to complete the largest draft day deal: Chris Webber of the University of Michigan was recognized as the best candidate for the No. 1 pick at the time, but the Magic, who already owned O'Neal, was more interested in the defender "penny" Anthony Hardaway from Memphis. Therefore, after the Magic selected Webber, they immediately traded with the Warriors who chose Hardaway.

The Magic got three first-round draft picks from the Warriors, not only getting the rookie they wanted, but also gaining a lot of benefits.

In this life, the team that robbed the Warriors became Han people, and even Han people could get three first-round draft picks from the Warriors. Why didn't other teams follow suit?

Although it is a young year of talent show, the attention of this talent lottery conference is definitely not low!
