"I mean, how could they mistakenly think we are good friends?"

"…Aix, you still need to be beaten so much!"

...

"Hey, did you see it? Mr. Benjamin is here again!"

Zhang Hao had just signed Carter and was about to return to Wang Zhizhi when a person suddenly appeared.

High school opponent - Oregon State junior draft pick Corey Benjamin.

Zhang Hao responded friendly: "Hi, no see, no see for a long time."

"Tsk, didn't you just play in the NBA for three more years? Wait and see! Your terminator has entered the NBA!" Corey Benjamin fought with Zhang Hao for the first time in high school. She never beat Zhang Hao in the future, but she was so brave and would never be depressed.

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes: "You actually entered the small green house, this world."

Corey Benjamin responded when he heard this: "I was also surprised. My draft rankings were clearly from the end of the first round to the beginning of the second round."

"If your dad is not the vice president of the logistics department of our Lakers, and your uncle is not the vice president of the public relations department of the Bulls, can you enter the small green house?" Zhang Hao knew about this, and when he saw Corey Benjamin's arrogant look, he couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong? Envy? Jealous? You will never be able to make it to the list of the small green house!"

“…”

Zhang Hao was speechless about the thickness of this rich second generation.

He finally felt the pain of hearing the truth and being unable to refute it.

After chatting with old friends for a while, Zhang Hao returned to Wang Zhizhi's side.

Due to national conditions, Wang Zhizhi came to participate in the draft and had no one in China. If he hadn't returned to China with Zhang Hao, Wang Zhizhi might have been recalled to the national team after participating in the trial.

Wang Zhizhi invited him to the university teammates. He originally invited John Thompson, but the old coach did not come to the scene due to his physical condition.

Zhang Hao went up to help Wang Zhizhi rub his shoulders: "KING, don't be so nervous, your ranking will definitely not be low."

"I know...huh..." Wang Zhizhi took two deep breaths and continued, "But I still can't help but be nervous."

"Okay OK, wait and see, I'm also curious where you will go."

"I heard from Henry that you want me to play under Old Nelson or Tom Janovic?"

"Yes, old Nelson and Tom Janovic are both better at using your inside line, but I don't like the Rockets and don't want you to go. The best situation is that you are selected by the Mavericks, but they only have the 6th pick and may not be able to choose you. The Kings are also very good. I heard that the Kings just changed Adelman as the head coach. You should play in the Princeton system, but the Kings' pick is not high..."

Chatting, the time was approaching 8 o'clock and the talent show began.

David Stern came to the center of the stage and said a lot of things. More than a thousand New York fans at the scene were treated as usual.

Soon, at 8 o'clock, the staff delivered the first envelope.

David Stern opened the envelope, glanced at it, and said without surprise: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first pick in the 1998 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers chose... Michael Olovo Kandy from Pacific University!"

This year, he dominated half of the college basketball world, and only Kobe Bryant can stand side by side. Olovo Kandi was taken away in the first pick. There is no suspense. According to media reports, even if Kobe runs for the election, Olovo Kandi has a 40% chance of being selected by the Clippers.

After playing a video clip of Olovo Kandi for a while... In college, Olovo Kandi looks like the next Olajuwon, too invincible. There are only two inside players who can beat Olovo Kandi in college in the past few years. The previous one is Tim Duncan, and the other is Shaq O'Neal.

Three minutes passed quickly, and the second pick of the Grizzlies, David Stern returned to the stage: "Ladies and gentlemen, the second pick in the 1998 NBA Draft, the Vancouver Grizzlies chose...Mike Beeby from the University of Arizona..."

“…The Denver Nuggets chose…River Lafrenz from the University of Kansas.”

After the top three picks, Wang Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little regretful.

He was thinking—"No one else would worry about being selected at too high a position, right?"

It’s not that Wang Zhizhi doesn’t want a high pick. If it’s the first pick, then there’s no problem. You can go anywhere, but Vancouver is the second pick and Denver is the third pick. Those two places are too bad.

Henry Thomas has also said before that the best choice is to be selected by the Mavericks at the 6th pick, but with the help of former Georgetown coach John Thompson and his outstanding performance in the trial, his prediction ranking has reached third or fourth.

The fifth Raptors have made it clear that Carter, who wants to choose North Carolina, is the fourth pick left. If the Magic, who is the fourth pick, does not choose him, then the Mavericks, who treats him very well during the trial, may choose him in the 6th pick.

Not only Zhang Hao said that Old Nelson is suitable for him, Henry Thomas also said that he himself has this feeling. Although the skin color discrimination problem is serious in Dallas... but those who can be patient and go to a team that suits his development are better.

Three more minutes passed, and David Stern came on the court: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 1998 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic chose the fourth pick...KING, Wang Zhizhi from Georgetown University!"

"oh!"

Zhang Hao slapped his face. This team will not be too bad at this pick. It is much better than the Nuggets. That's right. Going to this team means instability.

However, Wang Zhizhi was very open-minded, and there was nothing to do with the high ranking. He hugged Zhang Hao and his college teammates. Wang Zhizhi walked onto the stage and took over the ball cap with the Magic Team logo printed on it.

Immediately afterwards, the Raptors chose Jamison instead of Carter in the fifth pick.

In the 6th pick, the Mavericks chose Robert Trayler of the University of Michigan.

At the 7th pick, Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Hao, April Clark and others were still discussing why the Magic Team didn't come to him. Normally, they would communicate after the selection. The big screen behind the stage cut to the sub-stage next to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Magic used the fourth pick this year's rookie KING to trade with the Kings' 7th pick this year and the first round lottery in 2000."

Finally, the first deal in the lottery area is here!

Just now, Wang Zhizhi discussed with Zhang Hao which team would complete the transaction. Zhang Hao said that the Raptors might use Jamison to replace Carter who was selected later, but he did not expect that he would be the one who was traded!

The hat that Wang Zhizhi wore was taken off, and the Magic's player career ended in 6 minutes...

After the Magic won the Kings draft pick, they chose Michael Doriac at the 7th pick.

Finally someone came to find Wang Zhizhi, but it was not the one who chose his Magic Team, but the general manager of the Kings Team.

Wang Zhizhi failed to play under Old Nelson, so he went to play under Adelman... Although it was a spare tire choice, it was not bad, and Zhang Hao was very satisfied with it.

I continued to watch the draft, and I was just watching the excitement, so I would wait for when Pierce was selected.

At the 8th pick, as Zhang Hao expected, the Warriors chose Vince Carter in the 8th pick and exchanged with the Raptors.

Unlike the Kings, it also has a future Lotto protection first round. The Warriors and the Raptors are just one-for-one. The Raptors just want to save some money. The salary of the 8th pick is much lower than that of the 5th pick.

When it reached the 9th pick, the first non-small green house member to enter the lottery area appeared, and the Bucks selected Dirk Nowitzki from the Bundesliga in the 9th pick!

After the selection, the Bucks reached a deal with the Mavericks. The Bucks used Nowitzki and the 19th overall pick this year obtained from the Timberwolves to the Mavericks in exchange for their beloved Michigan genius Robert Trayler.

Although Wang Zhizhi has also changed its rankings, the overall draft changes are not particularly large. The wheels of history are rotating, but the rotation progress is not so fast. It should be bad, but it is still bad at present, and only the 76ers have stood up.

After Nowitzki put on the cap, the big screen played the highlights of Nowitzki's matches in the Bundesliga... and draft templates.

"Well……"

Zhang Hao looked at the image used on the big screen to compare the jump shots and turn around on the jump shot, speechless.

The people at the scene also looked at him. After the video and template video were played, the large screen also cut to the camera facing him.

"It would be fine if Duncan's template says it's me, but Nowitzki is me... Are there half a cent similarities between these two people?"

Zhang Hao complained in his heart, and the large screen cut the picture again and cut it to the secondary stage.

The deal is coming!

Zhang Hao continued to watch and watch the fun.

The host of the deputy stage said: "The Lakers, Celtics, Kenny Anderson reached an agreement. Kenny Anderson signed a five-year, 70 million signing first and then exchange contracts. The Lakers used Kenny Anderson and the 29th pick in the first round to get the 10th pick in the first round."

"Damn! It's because my house is on fire when watching the fun!"

Zhang Hao was about to curse, but Kupchek quickly ran to his side and took him to the draft office.

Kenny Anderson and Celtics executive vice president Dan Foster are also there.
Chapter completed!
