With the last shout in his heart, Steve Nash activated the switch. The ping pong balls inside began to bounce around in the transparent cylinder.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Steve Nash's heart involuntarily accelerated with the beating of these ping pong balls.

There are a total of 14 ping pong balls in the transparent cylinder. These 14 ping pong balls have been written with serial numbers from 1 to 14 in advance. Each time the switch is turned on, 4 balls will pop out one after another. According to the number of the 4 balls,

Arranged in order, there will be a total of 1,001 situations. Putting aside the possibility of 11-12-13-14, there are exactly 1,000 situations.

As the team with the worst record in the 2008-09 season, the Suns have a 25% chance of winning the No. 1 pick.

That is, there are 250 sets of sort orders.

As long as the order of the four ping pong balls coming out this time belongs to these 250, it means that the Suns can get the No. 1 pick. To be honest, this probability is really not small.

But the problem is, when the switch is turned on, let alone 250 sets of sequences, even if Steve Nash is given 900 sets of sequences, he feels a little unstable!

The reason is that this No. 1 pick is really important!

While Steve Nash was nervously waiting for the result, representatives from the other 13 teams in the audience were also nervously staring at the result.

Among them, the most nervous ones are naturally the representatives of the Clippers and Thunder.

They didn't know what they were nervous about, because even if the order of the four goals came out, it was impossible for them to know immediately whether the order of the four goals was among the Suns' 250 group.

Only officials know this.

The results will be sealed in an envelope and sent to the official uniform team as soon as possible. The answers will not be announced until everyone has drawn lots.

This rule is quite interesting... What was born under this rule was the first pick in the first round of 2003. Cleveland selected LeBron James, the son of his hometown, and last year's No. 1 pick Derrick Rose was also selected by his hometown of Chicago.

, and last year Chicago's probability of winning the No. 1 pick was only 1.75%.

You could say it's a miracle.

It can also be said that Stern made the miracle happen.

This is also the reason why when Larry Bird blasted the entire league for being in bad shape, those involved in the bad teams would immediately stand up and clear up the relationship and complain.

It's entirely possible that David Stern failed to achieve the final result.

Of course, David Stern did not come out to scold this year when so many teams in the league were in bad shape, which can be regarded as another kind of acquiescence - for the No. 1 pick, you can fight for it if you want!

Well, this also has a lot to do with the fact that there are enough strong teams in the league this year.

The Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, Magic and Spurs. Nuggets... so many teams have spawned countless focuses: Can Kobe and LeBron James meet at the top, and can Kobe take revenge on Kyle?

Special people, whether the Spurs can win the championship again in odd years, and whether Carmelo Anthony is "already ready".

There were enough topics in this league to make Stern turn a blind eye when these guys were messing around.

It would be a good thing to create another powerful team to compete with these teams!

I have to say, David Stern is really smart!

4,12,8,3……

This is the final order Steve Nash got after activating the switch. The official uniform team on the side rummaged for a while, then stuffed the results into an envelope and sealed it.

This is the first letter, followed by a second, third and fourth letter...

After Steve Nash finished drawing lots, he was no longer nervous and sat quietly in his seat, waiting for everyone to finish drawing lots and for the official announcement of the final result after everyone had finished drawing lots.

What he didn't know was that Steve Kerr outside was so anxious that he almost exploded.

Why isn't it over yet?

Does it take so long to draw a lot?

Steve Kerr has never been so anxious, not even before he made the decision to trade for Shaquille O'Neal.

At this moment, he felt as if his whole body was on fire, and the invisible fire burned his whole body.

In a similar situation to him is Chris Wallace, the general manager of the Grizzlies. He is sitting in the office of the United Arena at the moment, staring at the live broadcast of the lottery, looking calm, but constantly muttering in his heart: God bless.

Ah! Give me the No. 1 pick, you must give me the No. 1 pick!

"In the 2009 lottery, the representative of the Phoenix Suns selected..."

Finally, while several general managers were waiting anxiously, before all the representatives of the 14 teams were drawn, the official uniform team began to announce the results after a certain period of waiting.

When the Suns' envelope was opened, and when the uniform staff began to announce the results, Steve Nash, Steve Kerr, Chris Wallace, the representatives from the Grizzlies and Clippers who came today, they couldn't help but feel...

Sit up slightly...

Number one pick!

Number one pick!

This is what Steve Nash and Steve Kerr are thinking about.

Not the first pick in the first round!

Not the first pick in the first round!

This is what others are thinking about.

"The one selected is...the first pick in the first round, congratulations to them!"

"Yes!" Steve Nash jumped up directly.

Steve Kerr, who was watching the live broadcast from the sidelines, also shook his fist fiercely: "Beautiful!"

"Hey~" Representatives from the Grizzlies and Clippers showed disappointed expressions in unison.

In the Grizzlies general manager's office, Chris Wallace slammed the table: "It's him!"

In the Thunder general manager's office, Presti sighed deeply, and then immediately dialed the phone at the table: "Listen, man, the No. 1 pick has gone to the Suns. We have to change our goals immediately!"

In the New York general manager's office, Donnie Walsh also picked up the phone: "Restart the superstar chasing plan and clear out all players whose contracts have expired this summer!"

The announcement of the No. 1 pick in the 2009 lottery was like the occasional flapping of wings of a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, which began to trigger a chain reaction of which no one knew the outcome.
Chapter completed!
