Chapter 53 The draft pick is finally released!

On June 10, at the New Jersey Bainaohui Theater, the uniforms of 30 teams gathered together, communicating with each other with a smile, but what is hidden behind the smile is interests.

Media reporters gathered under the stage, and there is a huge lottery container on the stage, which is used for the draw of the draft order, and the order will soon be generated here.

In the draw ceremony of the draft, the host will take out 14 table tennis balls numbered No. 1-14 and put them in a lottery container. With the rotation of the container, 4 balls will be drawn from the 14 balls at will, regardless of the order of numbers. Such a draw can produce a total of 1001 possible combinations. Without this 11-12-13-14 combination, there are exactly 1000 left. Before the draw, the league teams that have not qualified for the playoffs will be ranked in reverse order according to the record of the regular season. Through this ranking, each team will get the corresponding number of combinations (probability) to win the first place. For example, 14 teams did not reach the final playoffs in the 2007-2008 season, and the Miami Heat, the worst of the 14 teams, will get 250 combinations, which means that the Heat will have a 25% chance to win the first place, while the second worst Supersonics will get 199. The combination means that they will have a 19.9% chance of getting the first place. Next, the Denver Nuggets, which have the best record among the 14 teams that did not enter the final playoffs, have only five combinations, which means that they only have a 0.5% chance of winning the first place. When the lottery player is finally drawn from the first place, it will put four table tennis balls into the lottery container again, and then re-determine the final ownership of the second pick in the first round and the third pick in the first round. When the second and third picks are drawn, the remaining 4th to the 30th drafts and 30 drafts in the second round are all The final results of each team in the regular season will be determined in reverse order.

At this time, the Bainaohui Theater has already been full of people. The 2008 NBA draft draw will be held here at 8 p.m. New York time. For the bad teams, this is an important step to determine whether they are successful or not. If the lottery is not good, it means that they will be bad. It is meaningless and ridiculed by other uniform groups and those experts in the league, so no one is looking forward to a good dribble and can't wait to invite God, and their fans are also watching the final result of the draw, which is an opportunity for the team they support to take off.

When it came to 7:40, the star's performance was over, which played a role in determining the development of the NBA. Stern slowly walked to the front desk in the shouts of the live DJ, and his gray hair was enough to show how much effort he had made for the growth of the league.

With David Stern standing in front of the microphone and the thunderous applause at the scene, everyone knows how much the old man on the stage has contributed to the development of the NBA. Everyone knows that without this old man, there would be no current NBA influence. He promoted the development of the NBA, and the court TV station on the other side of the ocean Chang said that in 1984, in order for the NBA to be promoted in China, the old man waited for several hours under the imperial tower in the snow before he moved them, so he deserved so much applause.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the New Jersey Bainaohui Theater. On behalf of the NBA, I would like to thank all the media reporter management and players who came to the scene. The past 2007-2008 season was a perfect season, and we will remember this season for me. We dedicate every player, every media, every management of the game, and with the end of this season, it means that we will usher in another new season, and a group of young talents will enter the league, and the next draw ceremony will be held for the clubs that appreciate these young talents. Next, I will announce the official start of the draw ceremony for the 2008-2009 season draft.

With the fall of David Stern's words, there was another huge applause at the scene. At this time, the Miami Heat began to get nervous, because they didn't want to be the laughing stock, and the first to draw the first place was the 14 Denver Nuggets, which did not enter the playoffs with the best record. They have a 0.5% chance to win the first place. In such a small near-zero probability, the Nuggets are not the Houston Rockets who dare to have illusions. Anthony easily came on stage and activated the lottery container, and it also proved that such a near-zero miracle was not so easy to happen. In the end, Anthony was for the Nuggets. Locked is the last one in the lotto area!

Next is the Golden State Warriors. The former gangsters almost entered the playoffs again this season but were killed by the miracle of the Clippers. They were almost able to enter the playoffs, and now it was only the turn of the lottery area, but the miracle of the champion did not come to the Golden State. They could only get The thirteenth pick, and few teams have not turned the miracle that they may have into reality. Unconsciously, they came to the penultimate New Jersey Nets draw in the regular season, and there have been several draft draw miracles in this position in history!

Under the spotlight of Bainaohui, in the territory of the Nets, the new core of the Nets, German Harris, stepped on the stage under the attention of the public. The spotlight hit the quasi-all-star defender. Harris looked at the crowd under the stage, smiled gently, and measured his emotions. "This is Xinze. West, so I hope God will give us a home advantage. Of course, I hope my piety can impress God to guide me to bring good luck to my team!"

Harris said confidently with a smile at the corners of his mouth, but Harris's self-confidence was very uncomfortable in the eyes of the uniform group of the top six picks, because the New Jerseys had a miracle, which meant that some of them were pushed down, and the general managers of the top three teams in the top three were full of disdain.

"Do you also want to have good luck? Go to hell!" The general managers of the three teams coincidentally cursed Devin Harris in his heart. Harris confidently opened the lottery machine and watched the table tennis turn in the container and slowly fall. The corners of the uniform group couldn't help but rise, because they saw the result of Devin Harris's lottery, "Make you confident, S|B!"

Harris walked down with depression. Obviously, his piety did not impress God. His self-confidence did not bring an opportunity for the expectant New Jerseyers. As the Nets locked in the eighth draft, the Bulls, the seventh penultimate Bulls in the regular season, sent their hero Scotti Pippen to draw lots as public. One of the founders of the Bull Dynasty, Pippen's historical status is beyond doubt. Can Jordan complete the Bull Dynasty alone without him? Pippen said a few simple words and opened the lottery container. As the container kept rotating, the Chicago people's hearts rotated once.

Bang bang!

The table tennis ball in the container fell in turn, and the general manager of the remaining six worst-performing teams and their fans opened their mouths, their eyes widened, and disappointment filled their cheeks in an instant. Especially for the Miami Heat, which ranked first, Pat Riley, the divine operator, sat down at once and seemed to be a few years old in an instant.

"Chicago people have once again been favored by God! Magical luck, God in the Windy City, the great Scotty brings the hope of recovery to the people of Chicago!" Yu Jia, the court studio on the other side of the ocean, is very excited. After all, such a draft miracle is what all non-participants are happy to see, and suspense films are undoubtedly the best drama.

Pippen himself couldn't believe his luck, and Parsons, the general manager of the Bulls, immediately jumped on the stage and kissed Pippen fiercely, and the flash under the stage immediately flashed.

The most thorough Miami has undoubtedly become the biggest loser. The loss is full of everyone's cheeks in Miami. Next is the Milwaukee Bucks. Since the Bulls can create miracles, they also hope that they can have good luck. Drawing the list and the lottery are a great sign, with Rich ideas, Mike Reid, the leading star of the Bucks, came on stage, but the miracle is because its probability is too small. If it continues to happen, it can't be called a miracle. The Bucks didn't get the best result they expected. Then there was no miracle again. In the end, there was the highest chance of winning the champion. The fire team finally got a chance to sign the list.

The Seattle Supersonics, which ranked second to last, finally got the flower lottery. Compared with the extremely depressed Heat, the Supersonic uniform group had more comfort in their hearts.

Finally, the 2008 lottery draft came out: the Bulls, which ranked seventh from the bottom in the regular season, were lucky to draw the first place with a small probability of 4.3%. The former champion Heat, which ranked to the bottom, got the second place, and the penultimate ranking was about to move to Oklahoma to become the Thunder. The supersonic drew the third pick, followed by the Memphis Grizzlies, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and then the tragic Knicks got the sixth pick. Unfortunately, this pick was sent to the Lakers in Lin Fei's three-way trade, followed by the Bucks, Nets, Bobcats, Pacers, Kings, Trail Blazers, Warriors and Nuggets.

With the release of the election, all the uniform groups in the league began to be active, and the uniform groups of their favorite players showed their own methods.

And the latest draft prediction was also released at the same time. The Bulls with the top pick put their goals on Derrick Ross and Michael Beasley, and the Miami Heat are undoubtedly depressed. Beasley has been their favorite for a long time, but once the Bulls choose Beasley, they will be on the guard line. With the heat of the Flash Wade, Ross is a chicken rib for them, and all the uniform groups began to be ready to move. The rumors immediately spread, and the corresponding scouts showed their magical power one after another!
