On the eve of the start of the 1986 NBA Draft.

Wayne, the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, had just returned home when he suddenly received an anonymous letter.

When he opened the letter, there was nothing in it, just a few photos and a videotape.

The photo clearly captures the dirty trade process between Auerbach and several scouts on the day of the joint tryout.

Auerbach stuffed every scout with wads of cash.

At first, Wayne, the general manager of the Cavaliers, didn't know why until he played the tape.

In that videotape, the entire process of Len Byas' secret tryout at the Celtic's North Shore Garden home was recorded in detail.

It is simply heaven and earth, omnipotent, not as rumored to say, because drug use has led to a sharp decline in personal status and malaise.

Thinking about the content of those photos, even stupid people know the cause and effect of this.

It turned out that the joint trial at Madison Garden Square that day was simply a scam between Auerbach and the Union!

They bought scouts in advance, deliberately touted Brad Doherty's talent during the tryout, and then denigrated Byas, thus achieving the idea of making the Cavaliers abandon the choice of Byas!

In this way, the Celtics, who have the top pick, can choose Byas with the second pick!

This is a premeditated and shocking scam!

Auerbach is behind the scenes!

As soon as he thought of this, Wayne was angry, and he hurriedly called the owner of the Cavaliers.

... ...

The next day, the 1986 Draft took place in Madison Square Garden!

On the high stage, David Stern is reading his opening remarks before the start of the draft.

Under the high platform, the crowd is crowded, and the rookies are eager to try, looking forward to the moment when their names are pronounced.

Zhou Chen sat in the middle with Jenny Buss and Jerry West.

Len Baias, sitting two rows in front of them, was talking and laughing with his family, seemingly very confident.

Auerbach sat at the back, proudly holding a cigar in his mouth, and smiled kindly, as if everything was under control.

The opening statement is over, and the draft is officially started!

David Stern took the picker's note from the Cavaliers and slowly took it apart on the stage.

When he saw the name on the sticky note, Stern frowned at first, and then read it out quite helplessly:

"The Cleveland Cavaliers chose Len Byas from the University of Maryland with the first pick!"

As soon as the words fell, the Cleveland fans and reporters in the audience were completely boiling!

As a small city team that has just entered the NBA, being able to select a talented player like Byas is enough to plunge the city into a frenzy.

But at the same time, hearing his name being pronounced, Len Baias's face was full of shock, revealing an incredulous look.

He had already reached a private agreement with the Celtics, and in two years, he had only given the Greenshirts a tryout.

All the rumors that Auerbach released to the outside world are in order to be able to sign him in the list!

Who would have thought that the Cavaliers didn't get a hit?

Byas was clearly a little upset, because big city teams were where he wanted to be, and small cities like Cleveland he didn't want to go to at all.

After a few seconds, he still reluctantly stood up, showed a helpless smile, and walked up to the stage to take a picture with David Stern.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen glanced back meaningfully.

His gaze just met Auerbach!

Many years later, when Zhou Chen remembered today's scene, he still remembered it vividly.

Auerbach's almost hideous, twisted, desperate expression inexplicably poked at his cool point.

Whenever he recalled this scene, Zhou Chen always smiled and couldn't close his mouth, he felt a little perverted, but it was so cool.

He spent $200,000 to buy Byas' tryout tape from a Celtic video analyst.
