I’m Really Playing Basketball

After Chen Xiao's strong suppression of Bogut, all the NBA rookies in the Bobcats training camp became honest.

Faced with such a powerful and powerful Chen Xiao, everyone under Chen Xiao's guidance played "Chen's Duel" with Chen Xiao and became very successful.

No matter you are happy or unhappy, if the Wonder Boy lets you stay there and be shot, just stay there honestly.

However, as the number one player in the NBA and winner of last season’s NBA MVP, AMVP, and FMVP, Chen Xiao is now forcing them to play Chen’s One-On-One with him, which is much better than letting Nets players accompany him when he was in the Nets. Playing this, the level of acceptance is much higher.

In short, with the cooperation of these rookies in the 2005 class, Chen Xiao quickly got to know most of the rookies in this class.

Except for some rookies who are really not in the Bobcats training camp.

There are more than fifty rookies in this Bobcats training camp, which is certainly a minority compared to the number of all rookies participating in the draft.

But the quality of the more than 50 rookies in the Bobcats training camp is still very high.

There are 30 rookies who are considered in the media to be able to enter the NBA.

After Chen Xiao's test, among the rookies in this class (in the Bobcats training camp), there are seven players including Deron Williams who have reached B level (including B- and B+).

This is incredible.

You know, this rookie class is considered to be a weak year in the draft.

Not to mention the potential of these seven people, their current strength can start in some weak teams or ordinary teams in the NBA.

The quality is actually quite good.

In particular, many of these B-level rookies are not favored by draft experts, which is very interesting.

Chen Xiao is so anxious to report to the Bobcats this time because he is worried that the overall quality of this draft will be poor and affect future development.

If the quality of the rookies this time is not high, Chen Xiao will suggest that Jordan trade this year's draft picks for future draft picks.

However, after these few days of inspection, Chen Xiao gave up such an idea.

He is very satisfied with the quality of this rookie class.

"It would be nice to go to Minnesota if I had time."

On June 27, 2005, Chen Xiao was thinking secretly in his heart after testing all the rookies the day before the draft.

In this large-scale NBA training camp, apart from the Bobcats, the most popular one is the Timberwolves training camp.

Because Garnett, the big brother of the rookie, is a living star, many rookies who are not favored will choose to go to the Timberwolves to find Garnett, especially the insiders.

Don't underestimate these fish that are not favored by experts. The Bobcats have very unfavorable rookies who have reached the B level.

Therefore, there will definitely be many such players in the Timberwolves' training camp.

Of course, there are pearls among the fish that slip through the net, and pearls may not be unearthed everywhere.

I don’t know if Idol has such a talent.

In fact, Garnett certainly does not have the ability to cheat like Chen Xiao.

However, if the ability to cheat is removed, Garnett is probably the strongest among NBA players in terms of watching rookies.

This is not an ability developed by the confidant big brother who has been a rookie in the past few seasons.

On the contrary, this is based on the abilities developed during those years as a rookie killer.

You don't really think that Garnett's bullying of rookies all those years was in vain, do you?

In fact, while Chen Xiao is fantasizing about the Timberwolves' cabbage, Garnett has now become involved with many people in the Timberwolves' rookie training camp.

In Charlotte, at the Bobcats training camp, Chen Xiao was in a good mood these days. This was of course noticed by all the rookies.

Why do Bobcats rookies come to the Bobcats for training camp?

Of course not for Chen Xiao.

When they came here, they didn't know that the Bobcats would magically get Chen Xiao.

They're here solely because of those draft picks the Bobcats had.

Chen Xiao is satisfied with them, which means that they may be selected by Chen Xiao.

So after the last day of training at the Bobcats training camp, every rookie who left here was dreaming about the moment when he was selected by the Bobcats.

"Danny, I think Boy Wonder is very interested in me. I can feel it. The way he looks at me is full of curiosity!"

Lou Williams said to Danny Granger next to him as he left Bobcats training camp.

Louis Williams felt that it was not his imagination, the Wonder Boy really seemed interested in him.

Moreover, in this training camp, the Wonder Boy was the one who challenged him the most.

Danny Granger doesn't deny this.

After all, everyone knows the bad taste of the Wonder Boy and likes to find players like Kobe or Garnett.

Although Louis Williams is wearing the number 23.

What's the difference between being like Kobe and being like Jordan?

For many people, there is actually no difference.

Except, of course, Jordan.

Jordan has always felt that the only person in the entire NBA who truly looks like him is Chen Xiao.

Whether it's Kobe's short-handed gang leader or Ron Howard's stuck version of the gang leader, they are strong, but they don't have his charm at all.

He doesn't even have his charm, so what's the point of resemblance?

So young people like Lou Williams, Jordan has always said, they are not like him, like his fans.

In fact, Chen Xiao is really curious about Louis Williams.

This is of course not because of Louis Williams' strength. In the systematic evaluation, Louis Williams' strength is C+.

The strength is pretty good.

However, if it is just strength, it is certainly not enough to make Chen Xiao favor him.

Lou Williams was favored by Chen Xiao entirely because of Jordan’s evaluation of him, ‘Not like me, like my fans. '

This is great.

Boss Qiao dislikes people like Kobe, but Chen Xiao doesn't.

Of course, Boss Qiao dislikes people who look like Kobe. The main reason is that you guys keep saying that you are my fans and learned from my videos, but you all look like Kobe. What's going on?

This is what Jordan can't stand the most

I feel like my son is like Uncle Wang next door, do you think it should be right or not?

It should be quite embarrassing.

However, Boss Qiao didn't even think about it, who can learn your physical talent and charm? In the end, if you learn and learn, don't you learn the attenuated version of Kobe and Ron Howard?

It's not that they want to be like Kobe, but that their talents allow them to slowly become like Kobe.

In short, avoid arsenic, my favorite.

Chen Xiao just likes people like Kobe.

Lou Williams looked very much like Kobe after his test.

And secretly tell you, in this training camp, Chen Xiao also found a player who really looks like Kobe!

And he even wears No. 8 on his jersey!

I wore No. 8 when I was in the Bobcats trial, and No. 11 when I was in high school (Chen Xiao University is No. 11).

This is one of those players who skipped college and went straight to the draft.

Because this year's draft is the last high school rookie.

So there were a lot of people participating.

And this one, together with Greg Oden, was selected as the No. 1 high school student in the United States by Grand View Magazine.

Greg Oden may not be famous in China, but he is very famous in the United States.

After all, like Xiao Zhan, the third year of high school has become the chosen son of the number one high school student in the United States.

And this boy who is tied with Auden, Chen Xiao confirmed, this is his and Kobe's diehard loyalty!

It is also the reason why Chen Xiao is happy to be able to find two players who look like Kobe and have such a Mamba spirit in this training camp.

It's just that, except for the three children of Dale's family, this year's rookies are not so wolfish, so Chen Xiao still has some regrets.

Lou Williams is likely to be favored by the Wonder Boy because of his playing style. Regarding this, Granger said that he is not envious, which is definitely a lie.

Regardless of whether the Wonder Boy will choose Louis to Bobcats, at least because of the importance of the Wonder Boy, he gets a lot of exposure.

Compared with myself, I really don't know how much better.

In the past few days, Granger didn't feel that he was valued by anyone.

Boy Wonder always had that professional smile on him, whether he appreciated it or not.

And Jordan, another boss of the team, also smiled at him, which made Granger very uneasy.

He came to the Bobcats this time to strive for the No. 9 pick.

Now it seems that there is really little hope.

However, Granger didn't know at this time that in the meeting on the eve of the Bobcats' draft, Chen Xiao and Jordan had some discussions about who the Bobcats would select with the ninth pick this year.

Regarding the team's No. 9 pick, Jordan certainly feels that if he can select Marvin Williams or Sean May, of course he will select these two people. However, after trading away the No. 1 pick, there is a high probability that these two people will not be selected. Yes, so Jordan has identified Danny Granger.

Because Granger is the rookie he thinks is most like Larry Bird. He is good both offensively and defensively. He shot more than 43% from three-point range in college. He is a very good shooter and has a high golf IQ. The draft is also suitable. .

Jordan valued him very much.

Of course, Chen Xiao admired Granger very much.

Chen Xiao also agreed with this candidate.

After all, as one of the B-level players, I don't know what to say in the future, but it is definitely not a loss now.

Jordan's divine eyes have to be said to be indeed divine eyes.

However, what Chen Xiao values ​​most is the future.

Chen Xiao felt that with Granger's current draft market, the Bobcats could get the No. 16 or even the No. 18 pick.

Although Granger is a rookie in the small green house, his predictions have always been on the edge of the lottery.

Not everyone believes in Larry Bird like Jordan.

Laliberd is now a nightmare in the NBA draft.

Larry Bird II, this is really beyond the control of ordinary people.

Last season, the Celtics just used the No. 10 pick to win a Larry Bird II.

The market price of Larry Bird II is now very low, so many Larry Bird II have recently been pretending to be Tracy McGrady II, Chen Xiao II, or Nowitzki II.

Granger is like that.

When interviewed, he always said that he was like McGrady and Chen Xiao, but everyone felt that he was not like Chen Xiao and McGrady, but more like Larry Bird.

Man, this whole Granger is embarrassing himself.

Of course, if he knew that Larry Bird II would be even more 'stinky' because of someone's appearance in the future, Granger would not have to be so embarrassed.

"Michael, I very much agree with your view on Granger. He is a very good young man, but this time, I hope we can select the most talented player. You know, I didn't come to the Bobcats to win right away. It can be successful, and I hope our team has someone who can grow with me and Chris all the time, and not only grow into an excellent starter, an excellent All-Star, or even a superstar!"

"Of course I know Michael thinks Granger also has the potential to become a star, but in terms of potential, Bynum is above Granger. Michael shouldn't deny this, right?"

Jordan was chewing on Chen Xiao's words.

Of course, Chen Xiao had discussed the issue of the ninth pick with him for so long, and of course it was more than just that.

Chen Xiao also told Jordan before that he believed in his ability to train young people.

As long as he is given a player with super high potential, he will definitely be able to train this player.

Jordan is willing to believe this, because Chen Xiao trained Boozer in the Nets, and Crawford, Darius Miles and Chandler in the Cavaliers.

Chen Xiao is well-known for leading young players.

Therefore, it is understandable for Chen Xiao to want a player with the highest potential, preferably a player with superstar potential.

Thinking of this, Jordan looked at Bynum's scouting report.

Name: Andrew Bynum

Age: 17 years old

Position: Center

Height: 2.13 meters (naked height)

Wingspan: 2.23 meters

Weight: 129kg

evaluate:

Advantages: Outstanding physical fitness, solid inside skills, high ceiling, excellent jumping, excellent mobility, and the opportunity to become the next inside ruler.

Bynum, although he is only a high school student, his body looks stronger than many NBA inside players. It can be seen from his game that he already has the conditions to compete in the NBA.

He is only 17 years old, but the inside dominance he showed in high school is at a historical level. Whether it is inside offense or defensive contributions, he is not inferior to other legendary centers. It can be seen that , he will not suffer at all when compared with anyone. He is an inside player with a particularly high ceiling. If he works hard, it will not be difficult for him to become an All-Star. He is very likely to become the next inside player in the NBA. overlord.

Disadvantages: Physically prone to injuries, emotionally unstable, and because of his young age, his golf intelligence needs to be improved.

Although Bynum is very strong, he is particularly prone to injuries when performing movements, especially his knees.

At the same time, because he is only 17 years old, his mentality is a bit impatient. When the team falls behind too much, he will play with emotion, which may hurt the team. In addition, his golf IQ needs to be improved.

To be honest, this is a player with very obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Talent is truly gifted.

The baby shark of American high school basketball.

But there are big, big problems with his character.

There are many players like Bynum in American high school basketball. Their talents are really good, but their personalities are also really bad.

They have no immediate fighting power and can only sell their future. However, these people have no future because of their character problems.

Therefore, these people can only get rookie contracts in the NBA. After getting the rookie contract and making money, they will get out.

No matter how you look at it, Bynum looks like a player who gets out of the NBA after making a fortune.

Even NBA scouts spend so much time talking about character issues, so Bynum's character problem is definitely not about picking up girls, H and D, etc., but a big, big problem, even a mental problem.

"Chen, this kid has a big problem, are you really sure?"

"Michael, my scouting report is also very problematic, did you believe it at the time?"

After Chen Ling finished speaking with a smile, Qiao Dan was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed along with Chen Ling.

"Chen, you convinced me."

"No, Michael is great enough." Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Since the team's No. 9 pick was selected by me, the remaining first-round pick will be given to Michael, leaving me with the second-round pick. good."

Jordan gave himself the right to decide the No. 9 pick. Of course, Chen Xiao knew how to reciprocate.

In fact, the most important thing is that Chen Xiao believes in Jordan's vision very much.

Jordan's choice of Granger is really good.

If he hadn't discovered Bynum's talent in this training camp, Chen Xiao would definitely agree with Jordan's choice of Granger 100%.

No way, Bynum's talent is too fragrant!

As a center, Bynum is 2.16 meters tall (the same as O'Neal in shoes), weighs 129 kilograms, and has a wingspan of 2.23 meters. With such a big stature and tonnage, he not only has a jump of 84 centimeters, but also has amazing mobility. He is simply young. version of Big Shark.

A player with such potential, do you think Chen Xiao, who has an experience card, will miss it?

Of course it’s impossible to miss!

Even if Chen Xiao can't use the experience card to train the offense, as long as he improves Bynum's defense and Bynum's ball control, Bynum will have a chance to become a player who is at least eight in defense and support. O'Neal at 90% level.

To be honest, if Bynum's character problem is not too big, I am afraid that it is impossible to fall to this pick and let the Bobcats have a chance to get it.

Chen Xiao proposed to let Jordan decide the team's other four first-round picks, but Jordan did not refuse.

After all, the NBA's number one gambler, how could he refuse such a thing?

While Chen Xiao and Jordan were discussing the Bobcats' picks for this draft, time passed slowly.

June 28, 2005, the day of the NBA draft.

On this day, the hottest rookies in the NBA, Deron Williams, Marvin Williams, Gerald Green, Bogut and other 14 Little Green Room players, all gathered in front of the round table in Madison Square Garden.

On this day, Chinese players Zhu Fangyu, Tang Zhengdong and Sun Mingming were also watching the draft in China.

On this day, David Stern can't wait to welcome the new batch of future players in the league.

And on this day, the NBA came out with news that shocked the entire United States and even the entire world.

“Gloria James had an affair with Eric Goodwin, LeBron James terminated his agent contract with Aaron Goodwin!”

"LeBron James announced that he will reconsider his business future and will devote more energy to basketball!"

The whole world was shocked!
