Bishop of the Devil

After Stern announced that the draft has officially begun!

The management of the Philadelphia 76ers was already busy, handing the prepared notes to the staff at the scene, and the staff quickly ran towards the backstage of the draft.

Five minutes later, Stern appeared again.

"I announce that the Philadelphia 76ers selected Allen Iverson from Purdue University with the first pick of the first round!"

Iverson's mother Anne and his two sisters stood up at this moment, cheering and screaming. The hard days were finally over, and the good days were finally here!

There was not much surprise on the scene that Iverson was selected as the No. 1 pick!

In this year's draft prediction lists of major media, no matter which list it is, the No. 1 pick is Iverson, so when Iverson is actually selected as the No. 1 pick, no one is surprised...

On the contrary, if Iverson is not the number one pick, it may cause some waves on the scene!

"Congratulations, Li, for teaching a top scholar!"

"It's really amazing!"

Cali Perry, who was also from the NCAA, gave Richard a thumbs up and praised him.

Richard smiled and nodded, feeling proud in his heart!

My disciple is the number one scholar!

…

Iverson walked out of the green room and stood at the front desk to shake hands with Stern!

Looking at his height, which is not much taller than Stern, and wearing a decent gray suit, he has an indescribable melancholic temperament...

There was a gold medal necklace as thick as his thumb hanging on his chest, which didn't match his gray suit.

The reporters at the scene were a little confused. Wearing a suit and wearing a hip-hop gold medal? ! This outfit is really a bit different...

After the handshake was completed, Iverson grabbed the gold medal on his chest and kissed it. This action made reporters even more confused.

However, the reporters’ doubts were quickly answered.

"Alan, does the gold medal on your chest have any special meaning to you? I think you seem to care about this gold medal? Especially on a day like today, you actually wear it when you appear..."

After Iverson stepped down, he accepted an interview with an ESPN reporter.

"Of course, this gold medal is very special to me. It is a symbol of my identity and my glory!"

"It reminds me all the time that I have to work hard and I can't embarrass them!"

If reporters are interested, why don’t we embarrass them? ! Which they...

"By them you mean your mother and sisters?"

"No, it's my coach and my West Lafayette brothers!"

The reporter suddenly realized that he suddenly remembered the claims of the West Lafayette gang circulating in the NCAA...

"Allen, man, can you let me take a closer look at your gold medal? I think many fans must be very interested in this gold medal..." The reporter reached out to touch the gold medal around Iverson's neck.

But Iverson grabbed the reporter's hand.

"Man, this is not okay!"

"This is my glory, how can I touch it casually!"

The reporter was a little embarrassed, but then Stern returned to the stage. The second-ranked list was about to be announced, and the live broadcast camera turned to Stern.

"I announce that the Toronto Raptors have selected Marcus Camby from the University of Massachusetts with the second overall pick!"

Richard was startled. Camby, who was second in the list, was from the University of Massachusetts? This Calipari is not simple...

"Hey..." Cali Perry sighed. He was naturally very uncomfortable seeing his favorite disciple being drafted by the Raptors!

He once thought about using the No. 8 pick in his hand to trade with the Raptors in exchange for the Raptors' No. 2 pick, but the Raptors were unwilling to kill him, which made Calipari very desperate...

"Sorry, man, I'm in a much worse situation than you. I have four disciples participating in the draft this year, but I don't know how many I can recruit back..." Richard comforted with a smile.

After listening to Richard's words, Cali Perry felt a little more comfortable...

In terms of misery, Richard is definitely worse than him...

"I announce that the Vancouver Grizzlies selected Sharif Abdur-Rahim from Purdue University with the third overall pick in the first round!"

Just after Stern made the announcement, Richard smiled bitterly and said to Cali Perry: "Look, two of my four disciples have already been selected..."

After Raheem took the stage, his attire was exactly the same as Iverson's, with a gray suit and a gold medal necklace as thick as his thumb hanging around his neck!

After shaking hands with Stern, Raheem also kissed his gold medal!

This move caused some discussions to erupt on the scene, and they became interested in Iverson and Raheem's gold medals.

…

"I declare, Minnesota Timberwolves... Ray Allen!"

"I declare, the Milwaukee Bucks... Stephon Marbury!"

After the fourth and fifth picks were announced, Richard felt happy. There was no deviation between the draft picks and his memory...

After the draft is over, the Timberwolves and Bucks will definitely jointly announce that Ray Allen and Marbury will exchange clubs.

In this exchange, it’s impossible to say who lost and who gained...

At least the Timberwolves are now more inclined to absorb a rookie point guard.

"Lee, why don't you tell me your list? The top five picks are all over!" Cali Perry urged. He couldn't understand why Richard was so patient...

"No rush, man!" Richard said with a smile.

Richard is really not in a hurry. It won't be too late to wait until the result of the seventh pick comes out before giving the list to Cali Perry...

Historically, the trade between the Lakers and the Hornets regarding Kobe Bryant only handed over the list to the Hornets management in the first five minutes.

"I declare, the Boston Celtics... Antoine Walker!"

"I declare, Los Angeles Clippers... Lorenzen Wright!"

The first seven picks were exactly the same as Richard's memory, but Richard knew that the wings of his time-travelling little butterfly were about to start flapping!

It took less than five seconds for Richard to write down the name of the player he wanted to choose, and then handed it to Cali Perry!

When Cali Perry opened it, he was shocked!

"Lee, are you sure you're not kidding?!"

"You actually want to choose him?! A high school guard?!"

The list given by Richard really surprised Cali Perry. He predicted that Richard would definitely use the eighth pick to select Brad Miller!

It’s not just Cali Perry, everyone who knows that the Trail Blazers got the eighth pick thinks so!

But the player on the list is obviously not Brad Miller!

Richard's heart began to beat wildly. After giving the list to Cali Perry, he never calmed down for a moment!

"This may be the reason why I insist on entering the NBA!" Richard thought to himself.
