Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 214 2001 Draft!

In the second quarter rotation competition, the Magic soon fell behind.

Kobe was in a hot state, and he played back and forth with Hill offensively.

Manu Ginobili stole the limelight of the two, directly blowing up Mike Miller.

Li Mu replaced Maggette and replaced Mike Miller.

The same is true.

The demon knife was unsheathed, and together with Kobe, they teamed up to blow up the Magic's perimeter.

The Magic's outside players seem to be full of talent, but in the final analysis, Mike Miller is a rookie, Wu Sheng Jackson is also a rookie, and Maggette is only a sophomore.

After McGrady's reimbursement, only Hill can play.

The 20-minute Ginobili is by no means weaker than any of the four shooting guards.

With Kobe standing next to him, the Magic couldn't stop them from outside.

With Duncan inside, it is very serious not to let the point difference widen.

However, with O'Neal and Billups, the two returned.

The wind direction of the game immediately fell to the Lakers.

After the second quarter, the Magic entered the locker room to rest with a 11-point deficit.

Second half of the game.

Hill and Duncan continued to explode.

The offense is unstoppable.

However, Kobe and O'Neill are also the gods who block and kill gods.

The lagging Magic team failed to counterattack successfully, but was worn to death bit by bit.

hum~~
The buzzer sounds, and the full game time is over.

The score was 114 to 101, and the Lakers had a 13-point advantage. After another victory, the big score became 3 to 1, and they won the finals match point.

Hill scored 39 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, with no energy left.

Duncan scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, and his performance was not bad.

However, they met the more popular OK combination.

Kobe scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

O'Neal scored 33 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

Coupled with Billups' 16 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds, the real Big Three exerted their strength, and the Magic did not lose unjustly.

……

January 6, Staples Center Arena.

Finals G5 was also staged at the home court of the Lakers.

From the first quarter of the game, Duncan's offense broke out in various ways.

The matchup broke the big book.

When Horry and Grant were replaced, they were all cleaned up one by one.

In this game, he scored 36 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, showing all his energy.

Hill was also in excellent form, scoring 32 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, beating Lewis so hard that he couldn't hold his head up.

If it was Bowen, he would also clean up and blow up.

However, O'Neal and Jackson were invisible throughout.

The Magic and the Lakers are obviously looking for the wrong opponent.

O'Neal continued to be unstoppable, beat Amici to graduation, beat O'Neal Jr. and Magloire, and scored 37 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

The peak shark, the dominance is very terrifying.

科比也展现和奥尼尔抢总决赛MVP的实力，轰下29分6篮板4助攻2抢断2封盖。

In the end, in the competition of superstars, the two sides were evenly divided.

However, other Lakers players performed more consistently and better.

Especially on defense, the invisible data has been crushing the Magic.

hum~~
The sound of condolences sounded, the red light flashed once, and the game time ended.

The score was 115-108.

The Lakers won four games in a row, with a big score of 4 to 1, won the NBA championship in the 00/01 season, and won the championship trophy.

In the end, O'Neal became the big winner, averaging 33 points, 10 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and won the Finals MVP.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye came June 2001, 6.

Almost two weeks after the Finals, the NBA Draft is underway in New York.

At this time, the Madison Square Garden arena was crowded with people and it was very lively.

No matter how lively it is, the quality of the rookies in this draft is underestimated by the so-called basketball experts.

Think of the 2001 draft as a poor draft year.

To be reasonable, the eyes of experts are discerning. Don't you see that the Wizards hold the first pick, but they are undecided about the candidate for the No. [-] pick?

In this year's draft, there is really no rookie who has been properly determined to be the must-have No. [-] pick.

In other words, this makes this draft full of suspense and full of highlights.

Li Mu and the general manager entered the arena and came to the arranged war room on the second floor.

In the 00/01 season, the Magic had the first record in the regular season, and the No. 20 eighth pick was drawn very late.

In the 99/00 season, the 22nd and 33rd picks were traded from other teams.

A total of three draft picks, the Magic lost the finals, the main reason is that the point guard is too poor.

Mark Jackson chose to leave because of his one-year contract due to his status in the team.

Armstrong is 1 meters, and the defense is unexplainable.

Therefore, the main goal of the Magic team this trip is to select outstanding rookie point guards for training.

In Li Mu's mind, there was already a candidate.

"Call..."

Amidst torrential boos, David Stern made his official debut.

After a brief opening remark, Stern opened the envelope that the staff handed over.

At this time, the scene was very quiet.

Stern read calmly, "In the 2001 NBA draft, the first pick in the first round, the Washington Wizards selected...

Forward Kwame Brown from Green College High School (Georgia)! "

This person is the No. [-] pick appointed by God, and the first high school student No. [-] pick in NBA draft history.

Kwame Brown did not let Joe's helper 'disappointed', and grew into the most famous rookie in the 2001 class.

The reason why he is most famous is not because he changed 12 teams in 7 years and averaged 6.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, but because he is a "ball blind".

No.

It is a "god blind" identifier.

It was identified that Jordan didn't understand the ball, and his vision for drafting was poor.

Gang Leader Qiao is also on the road of no return to prove his vision for selecting people.

As a result, Jordan found that everything was in vain.

Don’t ask, asking is just too much pressure from God.

At this time, Kwame Brown could only be happy. He stood up, put on the Wizards cap, smiled and hugged his relatives and friends, waved to the auditorium, went to the main stage, hugged, talked and shook hands with President Stern , group photo, step down...

……

Immediately afterwards, the draft followed by dancing.

Stern folded the letter and read calmly, "In the 2001 draft, the Los Angeles Clippers chose..."

"Center from Dominguez High, Tyson Chandler!"

The Clippers' eyes...

wrong.

It was the Bulls' vision that went wrong.

Use the 1999 No. 2001 pick Elton Brand as a bargaining chip in exchange for the [-] No. [-] Tyson Chandler.

A quasi-All-Star with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, used as a bargaining chip to exchange for a high school rookie.

Is it just because this person is called "Tyson"?
Anyway, this wave of operations by the Bulls is incomprehensible.

Abandoning the second of the three treasures in Queens, New York, and choosing to put the burden of dynasty revival on the three treasures of the 2001 high school insider?
Tyson Chandler has outstanding athletic ability and is a legendary jumper. He has a brilliant high school resume and led Domingos to the state championship for three consecutive years. In his senior season, he averaged 3 points, 26.5 rebounds and 13.4 blocks per game.

"Sports Illustrated" once hailed him as "the next Russell".

It's just that no one thought that he was actually the second place in the list of parallel importers... until he understood the famous NBA saying: I don't know what offense is, but you don't want to understand it either.
