Chapter 318: Forever Big Brother Little Jack

Although it is a happy day for Iverson to be on the list of the best players, it is a good time.

And although we are familiar with each other, we should not say anything careless.

Fan Xi corrected Allen: "I have won two consecutive finals MVPs and the youngest record holder. My era has already begun."

"Rookie! Welcome to the NBA."

Fan Xi smiled and patted Iverson on the shoulder.

Before that, Iverson had always been Fan Xi's boss. He had always protected Fan Xi both on the court and in life. However, since Fan Xi joined the NBA two years in advance, the situation has changed.

Although Fan Xi is young, calling Iverson a rookie is really appropriate.

The so-called carrots grow up in the generation, that's the reason.

Iverson walked onto the stage with a smile. He still looked immature and wild in a loose suit. The moment he shook hands with David Stern.

Fan Xi understood that Iverson's Philadelphia era had begun.

After Iverson, the one selected by Isaiah Thomas was Marcus Camby. The smiling assassin is now the president of the new Toronto Raptors. It is said that he has a small stake. This is why he has been trying to hook up with Van Xi.

But Van Xi really has no interest in places like Toronto. Every time he goes to play away games, he feels uncomfortable with the long flight and the climate is not good.

So, he firmly rejected him.

Marcus Camby did not show obvious protests against going to Toronto. He was not as willful as Francis later and openly refused to report to Canada.

Camby was still very satisfied with his ranking.

Although he didn't understand why the little guy Iverson could be the No. 1 pick, he was relieved when he thought that the big guys selected by Philadelphia in recent years were all useless.

In this era where big guys decide everything.

The Vancouver Grizzlies selected the NCAA super rookie, Sharif Rahim, who is known for his internal and external skills, with the third pick.

Then, Stephen Marbury, who was abandoned by Philadelphia, was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks.

Marbury didn't look so happy about the result, but he still ran over to hug his good brother Fan Xi.

Fan Xi encouraged him and said maybe there would be a turnaround?

The turnaround happened 5 minutes later, when the Minnesota Timberwolves announced the selection of Ray Allen from the University of Connecticut, and then announced that the two would swap teams.

This kind of thing happens frequently in the NBA, and generally speaking, when high-ranking rookies swap teams, both rookies can often become talented.

Marbury finally smiled after hearing the news.

Considering the actual situation of this year's draft picks, the place he most wanted to go was Philadelphia. Who doesn't want to be the first? And he was more or less unconvinced about losing to Iverson.

On the one hand, he felt that he was Fan Xi's best brother, and he was unconvinced. On the other hand, he really felt that he was better than Iverson. Most importantly, he did not accept Philadelphia's decision based on the reason that "Iverson is more of a team player."

He felt that Iverson could never become a team player.

He even asserted that Iverson and Stackhouse would fight sooner or later.

Fan Xi didn't think so.

Now Marbury has finally got what he wanted. He and Kevin Garnett are good friends who played together. When Van Xi was still in the Knicks, the two of them did not waste the money and female resources of James Dolan, the first prodigal son of New York. They even put the young Kobe Bryant on the fast track.

The sixth pick after Ray Allen was Anthony Walker.

He was selected by the Boston Celtics. He is a madman. He put on the Celtics hat and claimed that he was here to save Boston. He will let the world know what is gifted and what is a dominant superstar.

His words will definitely be recorded by the group of superstars who are vindictive. The old hooligans headed by Jordan like to beat these young rookies who don't know the height of the sky and the earth, and they enjoy it.

Van Xi has been pursuing a two-handed strategy in the past two years. One strategy is called "I won't offend others if they don't offend me", and the other strategy is "make a fortune in silence", which is equivalent to peaceful rise. Moreover, the league's superstars were caught off guard. The two Finals MVPs have made many superstars feel that they were stolen by Little Jack.

But now, it is impossible for Van Xi to make a fortune quietly.

He left New York and decided to leave Houston. He wanted to start a new business and be the boss himself.

The subsequent draft picks were still dominated by big men.

The Clippers picked Lorenzen Wright at the seventh pick, the Nets picked Gitlis, the Mavericks picked Samaki Walker, the Pacers picked Dampier, and Potapanko was picked until the thirteenth pick.

The Charlotte Hornets picked Kobe Bryant.

The first high school student in the United States and the close little brother of Little Jack caused some uproar at the scene.

Obviously, not everyone recognizes Kobe's high school status.

But it doesn't matter.

Kobe was very excited, as if he was born for big scenes.

He raised his hands high, hugged his family, ran over and bumped chests with Van Xi, and then staggered to the podium.

Just like a boxer.

The live broadcast of the American media said that this young boy with a green face was full of ambition, and he seemed to be holding back his energy to conquer the world.

That's right.

That's what Kobe thought at the time.

If the Hornets' selection of him caused some uproar, when the Lakers chose to trade the draft pick with All-Star center Divac, the shock on the scene was even greater.

Of course, some 'smart people' soon realized: this must be the Lakers clearing space for O'Neal, Jack Jr. and Charles Barkley.

If the Lakers have the "Hefei combination" of O'Neal and Barkley at the same time, Divac will indeed no longer have a share of the restricted area.

I'm really sorry, Mr. Divac, although you are very good, but for the sake of our dream lineup, we have to move you to Charlotte.

A host close to the Lakers said some proud words on TV.

This is the common mentality of Lakers fans recently, they are really floating.

To be honest, there is no way not to drift.

Shaquille O'Neal, a genius, a very dominant super center, he was able to enter the list of the four major centers in his first year in the industry. Except for Olajuwon, who really couldn't defeat him, Ewing and the Admiral were avoiding him. beat? Moreover, his peak is far from coming, and he has a good chance of surpassing Olajuwon in his future achievements.

In this era where the center is king, can Lakers fans not be proud to have a player like O'Neal as the foundation?

What's more, there is Fan Xi.

Although many people question Little Jack's personal strength, no one has ever dared to question Little Jack's ability to connect the team. His cooperation with superstar players is even more outstanding, as evidenced by his two Finals MVP awards. It can be said that he is a model of taking the lead over others. .

This inside and outside alone is enough to shock the league, plus buy one get one free and there is Charles Barkley.

I am a biological mother.

This lineup, plus O'Neal's grandmother, can also reach the finals.

No wonder the Lakers are floating.

Fan Xi is sitting firmly in the Chinese military tent. He is very happy that Kobe Bryant has joined the Lakers. Kobe needs a wealthy team to tolerate his growth, and he also likes an environment under the spotlight.

I believe he will have a perfect trip in Los Angeles.

The most important thing is that Fanshie feels that Kobe should stay with the Lakers.

Subsequently, the Kings selected Stockovich with the 14th pick, the Suns selected Nash with the 15th pick, the Hornets selected Tony Delk with the 16th pick, and the Trail Blazers selected Jermaine with the 17th pick. O'Neill.

Then came the New York Knicks' three consecutive draws.

The trade of Fanshie allowed them to gain a bunch of draft picks, including the 18th, 19th, and 21st picks. But they picked John Wallace, Walter McCarty and Dotar Jones.

A person who cannot become popular just by hearing his name.

Instead, the Cavaliers picked Ilgauskas with the 20th pick in the middle.

It has to be said that the draft is also a kind of metaphysics.

Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

The first round was picked quickly.

Fancy has been sitting on the bench at the back, keeping Ben Wallace company.

He is now not sure whether Elgin Baylor is a person who keeps his promise. He hopes that the Clippers can select Ben Wallace. This is definitely a lucky thing for the Clippers. After all, Ben Wallace is a medal player. ah.

Hopefully Baylor can take advantage of this opportunity.

After all, although Baylor is not as black as the Baylor in football, he really has no achievements in the draft.

Selecting Wallace may be a good opportunity for him to make a comeback in his career.

At the same time, Elgin Baylor was concentrating in the war room. His scouts and assistants were actively checking off the remaining players and...the information of those players.

They also have a 36th pick and the final 58th pick.

Before that, he had asked his assistants to find information about Ben Wallace. He wanted to see what was so special about Ben Wallace, a guy who was personally recommended by Fan Xi.

But the data shows that this guy... has nothing worthy of praise at all.

Therefore, Baylor is a little desperate.

His assistants and managers also advised him: Don't be stupid and don't have your own way.

Also a subtle reminder: We have learned too many lessons in the draft.

However, at this time, Elgin Baylor entered a meditative state.

He reaches a "political" level.

What am I drafting for? Is it to enhance the team's strength?

No!

The draft should be an organic exercise of ebb and flow.

If we can prevent the Lakers from getting the best shot, what does it matter if we lose a draft pick?

Forged a good relationship with little Jack, maybe he joined the Clippers because of it?

You still have to have dreams.

What if it comes true.

So, when the 33rd pick was selected in the draft.

Elgin Baylor made an unconventional but lifelong decision. He told everyone in the conference room: "I have decided to draft Ben Wallace!"

What?

There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone thought Baylor was joking.

Just because little Jack said a word, wasting a draft pick?

What if you can find treasure with this pick?

Although he is the 58th pick.

Just when everyone was exclamating incomprehension, Baylor spoke again: "I mean to use our 36th pick to select Ben Wallace."

This time, the uproar and opposition was even greater.

There was even a deputy general manager who came over and shouted: This is nonsense, I want to ask the boss for instructions.

Belle said boldly: "I have the final say here. Besides, the boss is usually playing with women at this time. Do you dare to call and ruin his pleasure? If he doesn't get hard, can you take full responsibility?"

Baylor talks fast.

It really frightened the deputy general manager.

Then, Baylor picked up the phone insistently. He called the staff at the front and told him that the Clippers used the 36th pick to select Virginia's Ben Wallace.

And repeatedly emphasized to him that it was the muscular man sitting next to little Jack.

The staff over there quickly took note of it.

Then, the league vice president will announce that the Clippers will select Ben Wallace with the 36th pick.

At this time, Elgin Baylor showed a comfortable expression.

He looked at the room full of puzzled, confused and even angry work colleagues, and he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

Thinking to myself: This is why I can become general manager and president. You cannot reach the level of my thinking. You can only do some business work.

He was very proud.

And he stared at the TV screen in front of him, for fear of any accident.

After all, what if Fanxi also said hello to other teams?

Until the vice president walked on the stage to announce the ownership of the 36th pick, he saw Ben Wallace standing up in the back with a surprised look on his face, and he was extremely surprised and jumped up and down while holding Fan Xi in his arms.

Elgin Baylor breathed a sigh of relief.

OK, today’s good luck check-in is completed.

When he breathed a sigh of relief, the assistant next to him couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, I think you will definitely be scolded by all the newspapers in Los Angeles tomorrow. They will say that you are an undercover agent of the Lakers... although they have always been like this. Said.”

Lakers undercover?

Elgin Baylor smiled.

Now I want to dig up the foundation of the Lakers, do you understand?

After listening to my operation, the boss had to kneel down for me.

Undercover? How funny!

Elgin Baylor is confident.

Because Fan Xi on TV was really happy, and the scene of him and Ben Wallace hugging each other made him feel a strong sense of true love.

He felt that Fan Xi must have a close relationship with this big black man.

Next, give Ben Wallace a contract and ask him to do little Jack's ideological work. If he doesn't come this year, he will come next year. If he doesn't come next year, he will still have a chance the year after.

As long as Wallace is here, there is no need to worry about not having little Jack.

Ben Wallace walked onto the stage excitedly. He looked a little small in his Clippers hat, but he was excited.

He even shed macho tears when being interviewed in the audience. He said to everyone: "Thank you little Jack! He is my forever big brother! I know that he has done so much for me during this time, if it weren't for him , I have no chance of being selected, I know my market too well..."

Ben Wallace shows his true feelings.

Although everyone is confused about Fan Xi becoming his eldest brother, thinking that he is confusing right and wrong.

But his words really triggered a series of conjectures, making public opinion even more bizarre and changeable.

In particular, the Los Angeles Clippers were dragged into a huge public opinion field.
