Chapter 181

Although after the team traded for Little O'Neal, he said he wouldn't watch this year's draft...

But when the draft started on the 26th, Su Feng honestly watched the live broadcast at home.

In his previous life, as a fan, in order to be a "prediction master" at every year's draft, Su Feng not only liked to browse foreign websites for information and watch videos, but also liked to make his own summaries and analyses.

In this life, as the biggest benefit of being reborn, Su Feng doesn't have to go to so much trouble before his basketball knowledge reserves are exhausted.

It's just that, even though Su Feng has become the "star-bringer" in the eyes of the world in this life...

But this can't stop his curiosity about whether those basketball players he's familiar with can still make it after their fates have changed.

As a result, so far, Su Feng has found that those names he was familiar with in his previous life can basically make it even after changing environments.

Moreover, the performance of some of these players has even exceeded their historical contemporaries.

In Su Feng's view, this just confirms the so-called saying that "gold shines wherever it goes."

Back to the topic.

As in Su Feng's memory, after the Bulls quickly disintegrated and became the worst team in the league from being the champions, in order to prevent the once glorious Windy City from falling to the bottom immediately, the Bulls got the No. 1 pick in 1999 as they wished.

Then, the Bulls immediately used this No. 1 pick in this year's draft to select Elton Brand from Duke University.

With a height of 203 centimeters, a weight of 120 kilograms, and a wingspan of over 220 centimeters, Brand has extremely outstanding static talent. In addition, he is good at a small mid-range jump shot, and he is also one of the representatives of the "fight and retreat" style in the future.

At the peak of his career, Brand was a regular in the "20+10" club.

Although he is not tall enough for an inside player, he has an exaggerated wingspan and a considerable tonnage, making him an excellent All-Star inside player.

It's just a pity, just like fans believe that Pat Krause and Ryan Sdorf can't function without Jordan...

History will prove countless times in the future that these two people, after the "Old Rogue" left...

They really can't function.

Because in the situation where Brand has already made it, you can completely call the Bulls' operation of letting Brand go in the future a "human confusing behavior."

But no matter what the future holds, at least Brand, who put on the Bulls cap on this night, looks very happy from his expression.

When this short and strong mid-range shooting monster, who looks a bit silly when he smiles, walked onto the main stage, many Bulls fans in front of the TV had a "Chicago Malone" feeling about him at this moment.

What's different from Su Feng's memory is that due to changes in the record, the team that drew the second pick this year became the Nets.

In the early stages of the 98/99 season, the Nets, who had a group of potential young heroes such as Van Horn and Pierce, had been near the playoff circle. However, since Pierce was defended into autism by Su Feng in the game, Pierce, who knew who was the truth of the NBA, started his journey of bricklaying.

Affected by Pierce's decline in form, the Nets also lost consecutive games in the subsequent games.

In the end, they successfully ranked second to last in the East. Because the league considered the trade in which they were played by Auerbach that year, they "fairly, openly, and justly" drew the second pick for them.

And the league's move is also equivalent to making it clear to the Nets:

'Silly child, be careful this time, don't be played by those with ulterior motives again.'

So, in order not to be a fool, the Nets finally used this second pick to select Steve Francis.

And it's worth mentioning that although Francis's listed height is as high as "191" centimeters, when this guy came on stage, Su Feng could be 100% sure that this guy's height was at most 183 centimeters.

I have to say, in the NBA, the heights of guards are a mystery.

Because you simply don't know how daring these NBA guards are when reporting their heights.

With Francis's earth-shattering bounce, if he were really 191 centimeters tall, then in Su Feng's view, he would have already dominated the NBA.

In his previous life, at the 2000 dunk contest, although Carter's performance was the most amazing, the man who created the highest vertical jump record at that time was Francis.

You know, before Westbrook joined the league, Francis's explosive style was definitely a beautiful sight in the NBA.

Back then, after watching a game of Francis, the Grizzlies' scout firmly believed that Francis's explosive style would save the Vancouver market.

Unfortunately...

Just when Grizzlies owner Griffith was happily looking forward to Francis descending like Carter next door, he got an extremely heartbreaking answer from Francis:

'No, I won't play for you.'

Only the ghost knows how heartbroken Griffith was when he learned of this answer.

Of course, Griffith and Grizzlies fans definitely won't be so uncomfortable in this life.

Because after the Nets selected Francis, the Grizzlies then used their No. 3 pick to select the original big beard Baron Davis.

As an alternative to not selecting Francis, in Su Feng's view, perhaps this answer is the Grizzlies' real answer.

Because before James Harden decided to use his bandit-like beard to cover his silly face...

Without a doubt, Baron Davis was the most famous beard in the NBA.

In Su Feng's previous life, Davis, who had explosive physical qualities, was a seriously underestimated player.

Because although he has never had any decent teammates in his career, after his teammates were a little more reliable, he completed the famous black eight legend with that Warriors team in the 06/07 season.

At the same time, that "Golden State Bandit Gang" also set off a fast-paced whirlwind in the league at that time, using three-pointers to crush everything.

It's just a pity that because Davis's playing style is very knee-damaging, he will never be able to find his former unscrupulous state after experiencing several major injuries in the future.

In addition to the Grizzlies selecting Davis in third place, the Clippers also selected Odom, the most unfortunate "No. 1 high school student in the United States" in NBA history, with the fourth pick.

Next, the Timberwolves picked Szczerbiak with the sixth pick;

The Wizards selected Hamilton with the seventh pick;

The Cavaliers selected Andre Miller with the eighth pick;

Marion and Terry were selected by the Suns and Hawks respectively, just like in Su Feng's memory.

But at the 15th pick in the first round, Su Feng wanted to call the police.

Because at the draft, the Celtics officially completed a trade with the Timberwolves.

The former sent out Croatian veteran Radja and the team's second-round pick this year, and exchanged for the Wolves' 99 first-round 15th pick from the Timberwolves.

From the perspective of the trade chips, this is a fairly fair trade.

Because Radja was still able to contribute an average of "11+6" last season.

And the Timberwolves have been lacking an inside player who can partner with Garnett after letting go of former All-Star player Gugliotta.

But, still that sentence.

If this trade were done by someone else, it would never be possible to complete it as easily as the Celtics did.

Moreover, not to mention that the Celtics selected with this pick...

————Ron Artest.

This year, after being deeply impressed by Su Feng's dominance on both offense and defense in the Eastern Conference Finals, Auerbach realized that if there were no players who could match up with Su Feng, then the Celtics would not be able to defeat the Raptors in the battle for the Eastern Conference throne in the future.

Therefore, after the end of the Eastern Conference Finals, Auerbach called the Celtics scouts and asked them about the market for this year's rookies.

As a result, after learning that there was a young man who made wild claims during his trial training, saying that he was not afraid of Jordan or Su Feng, Auerbach set his sights on this young man.

Ron Artest, a small forward from St. John's University.

Although he is only 201 centimeters tall, although he is still a college student, in his scouting report, his physique is considered by the scouts to be fully capable of competing in NBA-level games.

It's just that because of his thorny personality, many teams with high picks stopped him during the trial training.

But, a thorny personality?

"Interesting, it's him."

After watching Artest's trial training video, Auerbach smiled.

For Auerbach, who has experience working with many personality players, in his eyes, players with personality are no different from those who are obedient.

In addition, in Auerbach's view, if you want to solve a strange man like Su Feng, then players with personality like Artest are exactly what this Celtics team urgently needs.

Therefore, after understanding Artest's approximate pick, Auerbach decisively called McHale.

And Minnesota, McHale almost didn't even think about it, and decisively accepted this PY transaction with Auerbach.

What is the influence of half of the league being able to transfuse blood for the Green Army?

To be reasonable, if it weren't for the Lao Bass family's painstaking efforts, which led to many NBA players being "children dreaming of the Lakers" after the 1980s, and Stern's various balancing policies, this Green Army player's gameplay spread throughout the league is no different from cheating?

Damn...

At the moment when the Celtics selected Artest, Su Feng even automatically imagined the scene of him fighting Artest and Bowen in the next season...

Is it true that a real man has to face difficulties head-on?

Su Feng felt that he was about to be disgusted by this runaway era.

Fortunately...

No other accidents occurred in the following draft.

Kirilenko was picked by the Jazz with the 24th pick in the first round, and Ginobili was selected by the Spurs at the end of the second round, just like in Su Feng's memory.

For Jazz coach Sloan, who missed Su Feng once, after noticing Kirilenko's scouting report, this old coach couldn't refuse.

Unlike American players who like to lie about their height, in the NBA, international players rarely lie about their height when registering.

Kirilenko, who is nearly 208 centimeters tall with shoes on, has a wingspan of nearly 230 centimeters.

He has exaggerated static talent, and he has won the NBA block king in the future. He is a veritable all-around warrior.

In Su Feng's view, it is only because the Jazz are not as terrifying as the Celtics and Lakers in the future, otherwise, people like Kirilenko would be a great threat to him.

As for the Spurs...

Although Popovich still listened to Buford's suggestion and chose Ginobili, in this life, without getting Duncan, in Su Feng's view, even if Popovich selects Parker in the future, it will be difficult for Popovich to win five championships like in his previous life.

It's just that, although the voices of many NBA teams in this life are not as loud as they were in the same period due to historical changes...

But obviously, teams like the Celtics and Lakers have become more difficult to deal with.

After the former traded away Radja, because the Celtics are also enjoying the new contract benefits of Cha Duncan, it is not difficult for them to keep both Ray Allen and Marbury at the same time.

In addition, with the addition of Artest, in Su Feng's view, even the Green Army Big Three in his memory cannot compare with this Celtics team.

And the most annoying thing is that Su Feng can't spray this Celtics team for hugging like the keyboard warriors in his previous life.

To be honest, if it weren't for noticing that the Raptors' starting lineup in the next season is still five All-Stars...

Then Su Feng might really be a little panicked.

…

By the way, after the end of the draft, in addition to teaching Little Yao and James how to play and waiting for the system upgrade on July 1, Su Feng also took the initiative to call Kobe.

Because both Carter and McGrady said that they wanted to enjoy their vacation happily in the summer, Su Feng, who urgently needs to use actual combat to test how strong the "Feng's fadeaway" is, can't beat Little LeBron every day, right?

He is a dignified NBA regular season MVP, Finals MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year. If he bullies a junior high school student every day, how embarrassing would it be to say it?

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, there is no better tool man than Kobe on his way to continue climbing to the peak.

Bah!

There is no better training partner than Kobe.

However, even though Su Feng used three big meals a day to lure Kobe this time...

Kobe didn't take the bait.

And originally, Su Feng thought that Kobe was still immersed in the uncomfortable feeling of losing to him in the Finals, and planned to comfort Kobe.

As a result...

After carefully inquiring, Kobe, who couldn't hide anything, quickly revealed his secrets.

And as a "Humanoid Kobe Encyclopedia", Su Feng naturally knows very well what Kobe will experience in 1999.

Although it was a little earlier than in his memory, in combination with Kobe's experience in this life, Su Feng believes that some things may be destined.

After the end of the Finals, Kobe, who couldn't get out of the shadow of the Finals loss for a while, chose to vent his pressure by rapping.

Then, just like many bloody love stories...

Just as Kobe was recording his rap song, which was directly translated into Chinese as "Kobe beats Su Feng", in the recording studio, he accidentally met Vanessa, who was only 17 years old and was working for Snoop Dogg as a dancer.

Because of the influence of someone and Britney's rumored affair, Kobe, whose aesthetics were different from ordinary black people, took a fancy to this Mexican girl at a glance.

According to the person concerned, the two stopped and fell in love at first sight after meeting.

And coincidentally, because Vanessa lived with her stepfather at the time, and her stepfather was very lenient with her, the speed of her relationship with Kobe can only be described as a raging fire.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, by the end of next year's Finals, Kobe will announce his engagement with Vanessa, and he and his parents will become enemies because of this.

Because Kobe's parents always felt that Vanessa was with Kobe to cheat Kobe of his money, and Lao Bryant hoped that his son could marry an orthodox African girl, so only 12 people attended Kobe's wedding in the future.

And in addition to Kobe's bodyguard, all the people who attended the wedding at that time were Vanessa's relatives and friends.

However, as the saying goes, time will prove everything.

Because if Vanessa really wanted Kobe's money, she wouldn't have chosen to remarry Kobe a year later when she and Kobe divorced for the first time in the future.

After all, because Kobe refused to sign a prenuptial agreement when he got married, Vanessa could take away half of Kobe's assets at the time when Kobe divorced for the first time.

However, even though Kobe had cheated many times after marriage, Vanessa still chose to return to his arms after he repented.

From this point of view, if these two are not true love, then there may not be much true love in this world.

So, when Su Feng learned through various details that Kobe had already fallen into Vanessa's arms...

On this day, Toronto, Su Feng, who can only PK with young James...

In a trance, he felt extremely lonely.

And in Los Angeles, on the same day, Vanessa, whose relationship with Kobe was developing very rapidly, made a Mexican meal for Kobe. What made her sad was that this meal, which took her a full 4 hours to make, only received a very ordinary review from Kobe...

To be reasonable, it's just that Kobe is a straight man of steel, otherwise, who knows when he will be able to get rid of being single.

"Pizza... Sure enough, Su's is still delicious."

In his mansion in Los Angeles, Kobe suddenly regretted that he had rejected Su Feng too decisively before.

And on the side, Vanessa wanted to put a big question mark on Kobe at this moment.

Because in Vanessa's view, shouldn't ordinary people praise their girlfriend first when they eat a meal made by their girlfriend, and then eat it all in one go?

Why is there a boyfriend like Kobe who complains while eating, and even says that his skills are not as good as others?

And Su Feng, who was beating James violently in Toronto and recording the video by the way, had no idea that on this day, he had become Vanessa's number one enemy...
