Just when the audience was still concentrating on the first piece of news about the No. 1 pick being traded that was released on the screen of the draft.

Stern is back on stage again.

"I announce that the Minnesota Timberwolves have selected Stephon Marbury from Georgia Tech with the third overall pick in the first round!"

Oh, political commissar Ma has been selected.

Needless to say, Marbury's strength is not much inferior to Iverson in a one-on-one match. It can be said that the most powerful two point guards in this draft are Iverson and Marbury.

Inside.

It can be said that if Marbury is not alone, maybe Bruce will really trade him back to serve as Kidd's substitute.

Ray Allen and Stephon Marbury are both so strong that even Bruce gets jealous when they see them.

Alas, it’s just...

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

It is impossible for Bruce to bring back all the well-known players, so how will the ball rights be divided when the time comes?

Bruce, who was watching this scene silently from a distance in the box, became a little puzzled at this moment.

Bruce still remembers that the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves swapped him and Ray Allen. Why not swap them this time?

Hey, Bruce seems to smell a conspiracy!

However, at this time, he also paid too much attention to this matter. His energy has long been focused on the next pick, which is the fourth pick of his team, the New York Hans.

"Prince, it's our turn next."

Team general manager Mitch Kupchak reminded.

"Kobe Bryant!"

Bruce said firmly.

Bruce's heart started pounding as he watched Mitch Kupchak hand the envelope with his name on it to the staff.

Obviously, even Bruce himself is not calm anymore. You must know that this is the biggest superstar that Bruce has selected since the establishment of the team!

Kobe Bryant, a global superstar player in his previous life.

In a previous life, Jordan's global influence may have been greater in terms of influence, but Kobe's Mamba Mentality influenced a generation. Kobe accompanied the entire youth of the 80s and 90s. At least in China, Kobe's

The influence is greater than Jordan, even Yao Ming!

It's just that Bruce doesn't know if Kobe, who has deviated from the historical trajectory, can reach the heights of his previous life.

At this time, the rookies in the little green room were also quite uneasy. Since the top three have been selected, the rest are waiting to be selected in the lottery.

It's just that these rookies want to appear in the mouth of league president Stern faster.

You know, the fourth pick is the New York Hans!

Most of the rookies in the Little Green Room want to be drafted by the Hans.

There is nothing to say about the niceness of the boss, but the key point is that this is New York, a big city.

A metropolitan city means a high degree of exposure. The major media in a metropolitan city will use dazzling spotlights to magnify your body infinitely. Every move you make will become the front page of the media the next day, which is conducive to their development.

side business.

At this moment, the rookies in Little Green Room couldn't sit still anymore, and they all started whispering to each other.

Some people want to be selected, and of course some people don't want to be selected.

Kobe is one of the representatives.

New York!

He just came back from New York. When he went to the Hanren team for a trial training alone, although he had a great time playing with the old gangster, he was still beaten by the old gangster. His shortcomings must have been clearly seen by the Hanren team management.

Chu, based on his performance that day, the New York Hans management must be very disappointed and will not draft him.

However, in his opinion, he felt that the Han team still disrespected him a little, and even when he left the gym after the trial training, they did not give him too much evaluation.

It seems that he failed this trial training.

You know, when he went to Los Angeles and Boston for trial training, he got their draft commitments!

But the New York Han Chinese didn't say a word. Isn't it disrespectful to him?

Kobe felt a little angry about this.

In addition, he doesn't really like New York at first, so he still wants to play in Los Angeles. The Lakers are his favorite!

Even Kobe's father Joe Bryant and agent Arn Tellem, who were sitting at the scene, knew that there was no chance of going to New York.

…

A few minutes later, Stern took the stage again.

I saw Stern taking out the small piece of paper in the envelope and taking a look at it, something flashed in his eyes, and he looked towards the box where Bruce was.

Then the New York Hans selection was announced.

"I announce that the New York Hans selected Kobe Bryant from Lower Merion High School with the fourth overall pick in the first round!"

As soon as Stern finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

Even Kobe's father Joe Bryant and agent Arn Tellem, who had been following the draft in the audience, were shocked.

They didn't expect the New York Hans to draft Kobe!

"Why did the Han Chinese team choose Kobe?"

Joe Bryant asked Arn Tellem, his friend and Kobe's agent.

If you ask me, who should I ask? Arn Tellem is also very confused. If the Los Angeles team selects Kobe, it would be reasonable, but the New York Han Chinese team selects Kobe, what the hell is that?

Aren't you dissatisfied with the trial alone?

There is not even a final promise, so that means you are not satisfied.

Why did the New York Hans still draft Kobe?

"Perhaps there will be a transaction later."

He is relatively confident that Kobe will be traded to the Los Angeles team. After all, the general managers of the Los Angeles duo are very optimistic about Kobe.

Now we can only wait slowly for the results.

Arne Tellem smiled helplessly and said.

Joe Bryant also nodded after hearing this.

Both of them are now waiting for the call to "trade" Kobe.

What they didn't expect was that Bruce really wanted Kobe. A trade was impossible.

If Bruce knew that these two people were so impatient for Kobe to go to Los Angeles, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Who told you that I am dissatisfied with Kobe? I don’t know how satisfied I am with Kobe. Don’t sow discord between me and Kobe.

Not even if you are Kobe's dad.

Kobe belongs to me, it smells so good!

…

The audience outside the venue were still in a state of confusion.

Why are there so many "surprises" in this draft, and they don't even follow the routine...

Bruce actually picked a high school student?

The management who were watching the draft in their respective boxes looked confused.

Even several of Bruce's rivals were baffled. They didn't expect Bruce to pick a high school student with such a high pick. You must know that the fourth pick is also very high.

Whether he can play or not is a question, but he was still selected with such a high pick.

If you are a high school student who plays in the post, there is still room for improvement. Take Moses Malone and Garnett, for example. Both high school students made their debut in the post. The former no longer has to prove himself, and the latter was in New York last season.

The Han team played with great success.

Everyone is unsure about the high school students who play guard.

The management of each team in the box area had different opinions. Some were dismissive, some were gloating, and of course some were in a hurry.

Of course, those who are gloating are the Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics.

The former's uniform team is really "brainless", while the latter's uniform team is really "brainless".

Why do you say that?

The management of the Los Angeles Clippers is really a trap. From the owner to the general manager and then to the head coach, it is a trap from top to bottom.

Any star who goes to the Los Angeles Clippers will not stay long, either he will be cheated, or he will never be able to climb out of the hole.

And Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor can be regarded as the kind of person who was famous as a player and even more famous as a general manager.

Compared with West, the general manager of the Lakers in the same city, Baylor is completely stupid. If it is not stupid, it is nothing. How many No. 1 picks have the Clippers taken in recent years, and how many capable rookies have been selected.

Even Bruce is puzzled as to why there is such a big gap between Baylor and the LOGO man who lived in the same era when they became general managers?

"We tried out this high school guard back then and he was really good. But I feel like if we use the No. 6 pick to select a high school guard, Bruce, you're just waiting to be slapped in the face!"

Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor said with a smile to his subordinates in the box.

In his mind, he has long been interested in tall insiders such as power forward Marcus Camby or Shareef Abdul-Rahim, and Kobe is not at all in his consideration range.

"Ha ha……"
