"Mike, what's the matter with that guy in New York, it seems that you are very upset, you offended him?" The NBA draft site, fans, players, team general managers have arrived, the NBA's 1998 draft has also begun, and some of the team directors who have better relationships will sit together and chat, such as the current Pacers head coach Larry Bird and Timberwolves general manager McHale have gotten together.

Just now, Larry Bird saw the general manager of the New York Knicks, Dowland, sneering at McHale and the Timberwolves, and he wanted to intervene, but he was afraid that he didn't understand the situation, so he had been watching from the sidelines, and he only asked after seeing Dowland Jr. leave.

"Who knows? I also wondered why he was biting like gunpowder" McHale was also confused, he didn't remember any holiday with the New York Knicks, except, of course, as a player.

It's just that what McHale didn't know was that Dowland Jr. was not dissatisfied with him, but with Zhuang Fei, so he accidentally vented it on the Timberwolves and McHale.

Larry Bird pondered for a while, smiled and said to McHale, "Don't talk about this, Kevin, who are you going to choose today?"

McHale came back to his senses and looked at Larry Bird and said, "Why are you asking this?" The team's draft roster is definitely the biggest secret of draft night, and it is impossible for others to know first, otherwise it will be miserable to be the first to be taken. Even if Larry Bird is a good friend of his, he needs to keep an eye on it.

"Hey, Kevin, you can't even believe me?" Larry Bird said with a wry smile, he really didn't mean anything else, he was just curious about Zhuang Fei's choice. Then Larry Bird continued: "You know I'm a fan of Coach Z, I just want to know what instructions he gave you, and besides, we're only the No. 25 pick, and you're the No. 17 pick, so I don't think I can do it first." After saying that, Larry Bird gave McHale an angry look.

"What about you? Who do you walkers want to choose? McHale asked.

"Originally, we decided to choose a high school student, but that high school student suddenly dropped out and joined Wake Forest University," Larry Bird said with a sad face.

"It's Al Harrington" McHale nodded, he also knew a little about Harrington, "Our target today is that person" McHale pointed to the area where the players were sitting, which was commonly known as the Little Green House, and there were only thirteen people in the Little Green House.

"Is that him? Are you sure you can pick one? I heard that he is a must-sign target for the Rockets" Larry Bird looked at the person McHale was referring to, and gasped, Rashad Lewis, Houstoner, the Rockets released words before the game to keep him in Houston, and the Rockets have No. 14, 16 and 18 picks this year, three first-round picks, and the Timberwolves only have one No. 17 pick, how to play the Rockets?

"Don't ask me, I don't know, that's what Zhuang ordered, he said that the Timberwolves will definitely be able to pick him, and I don't know where he got his confidence" McHale also smiled bitterly, he suggested that the team choose Bryce Drew, but he refused without giving McHale any chance to explain. makes him angry and helpless at the same time, I'm afraid that the general manager of any team in the league is not so aggrieved as him. Who called Zhuang Fei's pomp bigger than him? He had no choice but to do what Zhuang Fei wanted.

"Hehe, Kevin, good luck," Larry Bird comforted as he looked at a depressed McHale, who was not very optimistic that the Timberwolves would be able to get Rashad Lewis

"Coach, this is the first time I've watched the NBA draft live" Zhuang Fei is located at his home in Minnesota, and Stephen Green and D'Antoni are sitting next to Zhuang Fei, and they are all watching the live broadcast of the NBA draft.

"Mike, is Steve Nash arranged?" Nash came to Minnesota today, and the Timberwolves and Suns trade has officially been completed, but it has not yet been announced, and Zhuang Fei is very concerned about Nash's problems.

"Don't worry, the team has arranged an apartment for him, there will be no problem" D'Antoni said with a smile, Zhuang Fei is a little overly concerned about Nash's title defense. I've asked this question many times today.

"How is his emotional problem, is there anything he can't think about?"

"It's okay, it looks like I'm in a good mood, there shouldn't be any problems"

"Well, that's good." Zhuang Fei was a little relieved. Eyes are also reunited in the draft.

"Damn, this garbage school's data brush really pressed Vince down" When David Stern announced that center Michael O'Rowocandi won the top pick, Stephen Green suddenly became angry, Zhuang Fei did not speak but was also a little lost, in his opinion, Carter should be the best choice for the champion, but Michael O'Rowocandi's data in college is indeed very dazzling, and he is still an insider, the current NBA insider has the world, even if the NBA draft in the future is still dominant.

"A traditional inside line with excellent data like this is very dominant, and Vince's failure to win the top spot is not a big upset," Zhuang Fei explained, but looking at Stephen Green's appearance, he was still a little indignant.

Vancouver chose Vince Carter from Wake Forest University with no suspense in the second pick, while the Denver Nuggets chose a shè interior shooter Reeve Lafrenz in the third, the Toronto Raptors chose Antoine Jamison in the fourth, the Golden State Warriors chose Szczebiak, also from Wake Forest, and the Dallas Mavericks chose an inside Novisky from Germany in the sixth place.

"This is the Germans? The Dallas Mavericks are hitting the board," Stephen Green said disdainfully, saying that although the NBA encourages international players to come here, many people in the local area still have a sè eye for international players.

"Maybe this German will bring miracles to the NBA," Zhuang Fei muttered, but Stephen Green still seemed a little dismissive.

The seventh-place Kings chose point guard Mike Bibby, the eighth-place 76ers chose Larry Hughes, the ninth-place Milwaukee Bucks kept Paul Pierce, and the tenth-place Boston Celtics chose Jason Williams.

As the players in the Little Green House appeared on stage one by one, Rashad Lewis became more and more nervous, and finally it was the turn of the Rockets.

"The Houston Rockets selected Michael Dixon from the University of Arizona with the 14th pick"

When Stern read out Michael Dixon's name, Rashad Lewis couldn't believe his ears, almost everyone thought that the Rockets would sign him with the No. 14 pick, and he himself thought so, even thinking about the speech, and now the Rockets have broken the contract, and he has become the only player in the little green room who has not been drafted so far.

"The Rockets have three first-round picks, and the next one should be me, I have to be calm, calm down" Rashad Lewis secretly comforted himself.

When David Stern announced the Rockets again, Rashad Lewis wanted to cry.

Bryce Drew? I didn't choose such a point guard to choose him.

And Larry Bird and McHale, who were sitting on the other side, were shocked, the Rockets really didn't want Rashad Lewis? Could it be that the Rockets' words before the draft were all smoke bombs?

McHale didn't have much time to think about it, and he had to make a decision right away.

"The 17th Minnesota Timberwolves Pick Rashad Lewis from Arif Ayrsk Middle School"

When Rashad Lewis finally heard his name, he almost cried, but when he finally came to the stage to give a speech, he still couldn't hold back and cried.

"Coach, how do you know the Rockets aren't going to want Rashad Lewis?" Stephen Green and D'Antoni looked at Zhuang Fei curiously.

Zhuang Fei just smiled and didn't answer.

The NBA's draft night is just the beginning, and the real Jīng lottery draft story will have to be seen in the trade news a day later.
