NBA》陰謀論四起！獨行俠神抽狀元籤遭網質疑黑箱作業
NBA 2025選秀會的順位正式定案，達拉斯獨行俠隊以1.8%的奇低機率贏得狀元籤，他們也幾乎確定會選進超級大物佛萊格(Cooper Flag)，對於剛失去唐契奇(Luka Doncic)的達拉斯球迷來說，似乎很快就找到未來10年的球隊看板，如此不可思議的過程也讓眾多球迷質疑聯盟根本是黑箱作業。 For the first time ever, we won the LOTTERY 💰#MFFL — Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs) May 12, 2025 根據聯盟選秀制度，該季戰績較差的隊伍握有更高贏得狀元籤的機率，以今年例行賽戰績來看，猶他爵士隊、華盛頓巫師隊和夏洛特黃蜂隊都以14%的機率高居各隊之冠，其次是紐奧良鵜鶘隊的12.5%和費城76人隊的10.5%，而獨行俠隊的機率僅有1.8%名列第11。 沒想到在第一階段抽籤過程中，進入前4順位的分別是獨行俠隊、76人隊、黃蜂隊和聖安東尼奧馬刺隊，原本狀元籤機率最高的爵士和巫師最終僅得到第5和第6順位，除了獨行俠隊驚奇抽「旗」之外，狀元籤機率僅6%的馬刺隊也喜獲第2順位，76人和黃蜂則分居3、4順位。 The final results from the 2025 #NBADraftLottery presented by State Farm: 1.

Spurs — NBA (@NBA) May 12, 2025 來自杜克大學的佛萊格老早就被視為狀元不二人選，本季以菜鳥之姿就貢獻場均19.2分7.5籃板4.2助攻1.4抄截1.4阻攻的全能成績，並橫掃美國5個指標性的年度最佳大學球員獎項，年僅18歲的佛萊格已經被許多人期待成為NBA未來的門面球星之一，這也是為什麼今年選秀狀元籤花落誰家格外受到關注。 獨行俠隊在今年交易大限前無預警將唐契奇交易到湖人隊，引起廣大獨行俠球迷群情激憤，總管哈瑞森(Nico Harrison)頓時成為達拉斯全民公敵，然而在神抽到狀元籤後，獨行俠隊的未來頓時豁然開朗，明年在厄文(Kyrie Irving)傷癒歸隊後，搭配戴維斯(Anthony Davis)、湯普森(Klay Thompson)和佛萊格等人，你很難不把他們放到爭冠行列中。 The NEW LOOK Dallas Mavericks 👀🔥 — Basketball Forever (@bballforever_) May 13, 2025 有點巧合的是，戴維斯在2019年被鵜鶘隊交易到湖人隊前不久，鵜鶘隊才拿到狀元籤選進威廉森(Zion Williamson)，獨行俠隊如今又在交易掉當家球星後的同一年搶下狀元籤，把超級球星送到湖人隊似乎成為拿到狀元籤的捷徑。湖人隊球星詹姆士則是在不久前發布一連串「笑死」表情符號，似乎和許多球迷一樣對如此故事發展感到新奇。 LeBron was every NBA fan after the Mavericks won the draft lottery 😅 — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) May 13, 2025 有網友表示，獨行俠、馬刺和76人分別拿到前三順位的機率，是接近不可能的0.013%，因此大批網友都發文質疑這根本是聯盟的黑箱作業，先是讓湖人隊獲得新當家，再補償給獨行俠隊，還讓馬刺可以用第二順位籤尋求交易字母哥(Giannis Antetokounmpo)，對聯盟來說根本是再完美不過的劇本。

How should Duke approach the NCAA tournament with Cooper Flagg?
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz, Isis "Ice" Young, Kevin O'Connor and 13-year NBA veteran Marcus Morris discuss how the Blue Devils should handled their injured superstar entering its first round matchup on Friday. View more Now the east, obviously this is all about Cooper Flack. I wanna get you the latest, OK, because according to the latest information we're getting, Duke is targeting Friday as a potential return for Cooper Flag. I'm a little surprised, guys. As we start right there, Duke made it clear that he would be available for the tournament. I think that was important for their seating. They wanted to make sure the committee knew that they would have their biggest star, but to me it's a little bit suspect. You shouldn't need Cooper Flag to win a game against a 16 team. So I'm surprised. Yeah, you don't need him, but I think the important thing is here one is that he's rested. I can't understand that enough. You're trying to win a national championship. You gotta win 6 games. He's gotta be good and healthy and confident for 6 games and what we saw from Duke in the ACC tournament was that they could win without him. So I don't think I'm expecting him to play a ton of minutes here, Marcus. Yeah, like we said when we was talking, I think you give him 20 minutes to make sure the will is good. You get a full week of practice or ice up and whatever. Obviously we, I can't say they're going to win because obviously we know what can possibly happen, but you give Cooper a little bit of time, 20 minutes, get his feet wet, and you know they can also win without him we all seen that so I mean listen, he has to play. Uh, the concern I have, guys, is what's it look like, and they got a game. You got 24 hours rest. You got a game again and then as they advance, presumably taking on Mississippi State or Baylor, taking on eventually a team like Arizona or Oregon ice, if you're taking on Cooper, you're attacking Cooper, right? Oh, I'm attacking that ankle every time, every time. I think you have to. I think you have to test the ankle and see how he's feeling like that's just not being mean, that's being a competitor but I also think too it's still a young team, right? This is a team that majority is freshmen and sophomores. This is their first time in the tournament, so I think all the expectations, all the pressure, all the storylines could also maybe get to Cooper a little bit. I mean, I think with him when the injury first happened, yes, he'd be shocked in that moment, but then he, he's in a wheelchair. Yes, he'd be shocked then when he's going to get X-rays, but then he's on the bench in the second half walking under his own power, no not no boot on his foot, looking totally fine. Maybe he's just like LeBron where he could just regenerate. He's one of those guys where he turns. An ankle it's like, oh, I look like I'm out for the season, but then you're right back. He might just be that type of guy. So I think it makes a lot of sense for Duke to play him, get the nerves out of the way with that 1st 1 to 16 matchup, play 1520 minutes per game, hopefully a blowout for Duke, you'd be expecting, and then rest him for the second half and be ready for the round of 32, but I'm gonna ask the room a question we've fallen in love with Cooper Flag. Is it justified? How good to you when you watch Cooper's tape. How over the moon are you? I mean, beyond what even what I could have expected, the expectations for Cooper entering the year were #1 pick, and at this point it's like, well, wait a minute, could he be top 5, top 10 player in the NBA someday because not only is he an elite defender as expected, not only is he an elite connector as a passer and all the little things that he does on the floor, but the scoring, the way he's developed with his ability to create shots from the perimeter not only for his teammates but for himself. And so obviously he's pivotal for Duke this year. Con Kipple, he had 14 pick and rolls in that game. uh, Cooper went out season high for him according to the synergy. We know other guys on that team can do something, but ultimately you're gonna have close games without him. Cooper Flag is a guy that makes them a 1 seed, makes them a favorite, and he's the no brainer number one pick this year, no questions asked. I agree, man. I love, I love his swag. I love the way he approaches the game, his pace as an NBA player, and when you watch these younger kids, you wanna see their pace. You wanna see their change of direction. Does he understand the game. He is a complete basketball player to your point. Once he gets into the NBA and gets into a system where they uses him and all his like all his spots and get him to where he like where he wants the ball out on the court. He has sky is the limit. I see number one pick, me and my brother go back and forth on this all the time. I think he could be a really good NBA player, like top notch NBA player. Yes, for championship team and I love his parents, man. Did you see him dunk on the cat the other day? And his mom, his mom on his head listen that that to me, to me that excites me. That means that the family is all everyone is invested in this is invested in this kid and it shows like he comes with a fire to the game that you would love to see from a young kid like that. Close

Cooper Flagg injury shows fragility of Duke's national title hopes
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz reacts to the Duke star's ankle injury during Thursday's ACC tournament quarterfinal and what it could mean for the Blue Devils' chances of winning a national championship. View more Duke survives against Georgia Tech in the ACC tournament, but that is not going to be the thing we are talking about in this victory. Yes, Duke was expected to win and in fact spent most of the first half trailing in this game, but the first half had consequence. It could ripple all the way through the NCAA tournament. The madness has already started. In the first half, Malik Brown went to the locker room with a shoulder injury and then the worst of all outcomes for college basketball fans everywhere. Cooper flag comes down on an already taped left ankle, immediately hits the ground, needs to be assisted off the court, and does not come back in the game. As of right now, we don't know what this means, and I'm sure everybody's excited to see Cooper flag not only for the rest of the ACC tournament, but obviously in the NCAA tournament as well. It will be interesting to see not only if he can go, but how he can go because as we all know, ankle injuries can become something that isn't just a. One time thing. The question isn't just can Cooper Flag get on the court. The question is, can Cooper Flag get on the court and be all of himself? If Duke wants to win the national championship, they're going to need that. And for all of us that have loved watching every second of Cooper play this season, that's what we need to be rooting for if we want to see the best of the best during March Madness. It took all of one day in conference tourney action for everybody to start losing their minds, and that is what's beautiful about March. Close
