Chapter 234 Who is the champion?

Popular rookies such as Cresey Balls, Kevin Durant, and Greg Oden all appeared at the draw ceremony.

Greg Oden was a little embarrassed when he saw Cresey, pretending not to see him and chatted with the agent next to him.

Cresey ignored him and started chatting with Durant.

The most advantageous figures in the lottery draw this year are the Memphis Grizzlies and the Boston Celtics, with the probability of their No. 1 picks being 25 and 199 respectively.

The second is the Los Angeles Clippers, whose probability of winning the No. 1 pick is 13.

Jordan's Bobcats ranked fourth.

However, the luck factor of drawing lots is too high, and you cannot win a good lottery position with a high probability.

It's hard to talk about such a probability.

In fact, every team has a chance, it depends on whether they can draw it.

Behind the Charlotte Bobcats, the Seattle Supersonics and the Portland Trail Blazers, these two teams that are shameless and have no shame in taking advantage of their losses.

The lottery ceremony began, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite ups and downs. This was the ultimate display of luck and the adrenaline that can stimulate humans the most.

In the 2007 NBA Draft, according to convention, the rules of the NBA Draft lottery ceremony are as follows: put 14 table tennis balls marked with numbers 1 to 14 into a drum-shaped barrel, and any 4 balls from them form a combination result. There will be a total of 1,001 combination results. If one of the results is ignored, the remaining 1,000 results will be randomly assigned to 13 teams by the computer.

The worse the regular season record, the more results will be assigned. Teams that are at the bottom of the league will all get 225 results.

Then, four balls are shaken like a lottery prize, and a set of results consisting of 4 numbers are born. Which team has the result of this one, and the number one draft pick will have the number one draft pick. Then the four balls are put back into the bucket and the above process is repeated twice. The second and third draft picks are the main ones (Note: If the ignored result is shaken, it will be invalid, the ball will be put back and the procedure will be repeated). Teams that do not obtain the top three draft picks will be ranked fourth to thirteenth rookies based on the regular season record. The worse the record, the higher the draft pick.

Unexpectedly, the first to be drawn into the top three prize pool was the Los Angeles Clippers. Mr. Elgin Baylor, who was in charge of the lottery, was unlucky all his life. This time, he was finally favored by luck and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then the Memphis Grizzlies were eliminated. According to the record, they would be the fourth pick. The team with the highest probability of No. 1 pick is really lucky and did not draw into the top three.

The Celtics then followed the Grizzlies and they were eliminated and fell directly to the fifth pick.

The two teams with the highest probability were directly kicked out of the top three positions.

Michael Jordan smiled. He felt that his chance had come. After missing the Boston Celtics and the Memphis Grizzlies, the Los Angeles Clippers and his team had the highest probability.

Durant, who was off the stage, looked at the situation on the stage, covered his heart, and said to Cresey: "I am incredible. The two teams with the highest probability were eliminated. Does the Bobcats have a chance?"

Crazy didn't say anything, and Greg Oden, who came over, spoke at some point, said with an expert face: "David Stern must have operated in secret. Those teams that were too obviously too bad and too overdoing, will not let them get the top three picks. Believe me, this is what that guy will do."

Kevin Durant shook his head, he couldn't say such a thing.

Cresey said, "The Los Angeles Clippers may draw the No. 1 pick, which will help them trade."

"It depends on luck." Greg Oden said.

"Didn't you say there was a secret operation?" Durant asked strangely.

"When you enter the top three David Stern, you can operate in secret, but the specific signing positions of the top three teams will definitely not be possible. This is too obvious. This old man will not be so stupid."

Greg Oden tried to put himself in a gesture of "understanding everything", but both Cresey and Durant could see that this guy was just retelling the inferences of an expert, perhaps someone in the team behind him.

"Who do you think will draw the No. 1 pick?" Cresey asked with interest. No matter where Auden heard these words, there is always some truth, so it's okay to listen.

Oden pondered for a moment, perhaps recalling, and then said: "I think it's impossible for the Los Angeles Clippers and the Charlotte Bobcats. Their two teams are so ugly that David Stern will not help boost this trend. I think the No. 1 pick should be among the Seattle Supersonics or the Portland Trail Blazers."

Then, his eyes fell on Cresey and continued, "No matter who the No. 1 pick belongs to, I think this No. 1 pick is mine, so you don't have to think about Cresey."

"Why, you have contacted the team in advance?" Cresey glanced at him.

Oden stopped talking.

Cresey's guess was right, the Supersonics and the Trail Blazers had contacted Oden and made a draft promise.

The draw for the top three picks began, and the first one to be fixed was the Los Angeles Clippers, who received the No. 3 draw.

The camera immediately swept towards Cresci and the others. These three people basically reserved the first three positions, and the difference was only who first and who came later.

Cresey has tidied up his clothes and tie. As the handsomest of the three, he still has some idol burden.

The Seattle Supersonics were drawn in the second pick.

The unlucky Jordan was eliminated, and his gambling luck has always been bad in this regard.

Then the first pick is determined, the Portland Trail Blazers, their luck is amazing.

At this time, the camera kept sweeping around Cresey Barrs and Greg Oden. Earl Johnson, a famous draft prediction expert on the scene, said: "The Portland Trail Blazers will definitely use the No. 1 pick to pick Greg Oden. They have a tradition of center forwarding. The internal and external combination of Greg Oden and Brandon Royden will become the most terrifying internal and external combination of NBA."

Some journalists are already eager to stuff the microphone at Trail Blazers manager Kevin Prichard. They want to know who Kevin Prichard will choose and who will be the No. 1 pick this year?

Kevin Prichard said calmly: "No doubt we'll choose Greg Oden, who is one of the best players of the year. What, you say, Cresey, he's not bad, but not in our puzzle."

At this time, the scale of journalists around Cresey, who was very controversial, was no less than that of journalists around Kevin Prichard.

This made Oden and Durant feel a little jealous, especially Oden, who has the promise of the Trail Blazers draft, who has regarded himself as the No. 1 pick.
