It can not only help Chinese basketball, but also enrich its own coaching staff!

Richard really couldn't think of any reason to refuse Zhang Weiping......

There may be fans who wonder, the Chinese basketball magician? This is, isn't it impossible to even play a ball in the NBA......

It is undeniable that Zhang Weiping's steps under the basket are definitely inferior to the top centers in the NBA, such as Abdul-Jabbar and Big Dream......

But it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Weiping's footsteps under the basket are better than most NBA centers!

To put it bluntly, the footsteps under the basket are a skill, and it has nothing to do with physical fitness, and on the technical level, China's top players are actually not as bad as people think......

Before Yao Ming, Dazhi, and Yi Jianlian, it was Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong, and before Hu Liu, Zhang Weiping was counted!

In a sense, if you want to say that Zhang Weiping is the Chamberlain of China, it is not too much......

After all, they are all big guys from ancient times......

……

The next day, Richard received a call from Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping was very polite on the phone, and his mouthful of Beijing films reminded Richard of his famous words......

"This ball is reasonable, it should be played like this!"

"Sun Yue, play with him!"

……

It will take some time to go through the formalities such as passports, but Richard has given plenty of time to prepare, even if it can't be done in July, it's not too late to come back in August......

……

In the blink of an eye, it's late June, and there are only two days left before the draft begins!

The draft will be held on June 26 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Richard rushed to New Jersey with Carlisle and Stevens ahead of time, after all, he had to negotiate with the HSD bullets and the Timberwolves before the draft began......

At the very least, you have to give people a list of players you want to choose......

Not only Richard, but the coaching staff of other teams also rushed to New Jersey, as did some of the players who ran for the draft.

Especially those players who are eligible to enter the Little Green House, they have the right to bring their relatives and friends into the draft, and they came early......

As far as Richard knows, Kobe Bryant and Nash are both Little Green House players, and the two are estimated to have arrived in New Jersey at this moment......

The reason why I pay attention to these two is because these two people are the target of Richard's No. 8 signing!

Until now, Richard has not made up his mind, whether to choose Kobe Bryant or Nash!

Purely from the perspective of lineup configuration, after the Trail Blazers went on a flying car, they lacked a point guard, and it seemed like a better choice to choose Nash......

But Nash's poor defense gave Richard a bit of a headache!

If you look closely, you can find that the lineup prepared by Richard can be called an iron-blooded defense, and the purpose is to create a set of iron-barreled defensive lineups......

But if Nash joins, according to the barrel law, the effect of this iron bucket lineup may be greatly reduced.

Of course, if you play regional defense, it's not impossible, but the key is that the NBA's regional defense is illegal defense at the moment!

Moreover, even if it is a regional defense, Nash's defense is too short, and Iverson's defense is much stronger than him, so in this case, in order to take care of Nash, other players on the court must always pay attention to the area that Nash is defending......

If Richard is building a run-and-gun lineup, then the situation must be two, and he will not hesitate to choose Nash!

Today's Richard is more inclined to choose Kobe......

As for the reason, one is that Kobe's defense is good enough, and I have to admit that Nash's defense is really not able to catch up with Kobe!

The addition of Kobe Bryant will make the iron bucket built by Richard perfect, even if they are just a bunch of newcomers, but it is not an easy matter for other teams to slaughter them!

The second reason is that Richard had a very absurd idea in his mind.

Let Kobe Bryant play point guard......

That's right, let the all-time second quarterback start as a point guard!

When Richard had this idea, he felt a little ridiculous in his heart......

But when you really think about it, it doesn't seem to be a completely unreasonable thing!

Kobe Bryant has not played point guard in his career, and he has played a lot of games......

When he first entered the league, Kobe Bryant played as a backup point guard, and then became a Lakers starter as a starting small forward......

During the three-game championship period, he naturally played a quarterback, and after O'Neal left, Kobe Bryant often played the role of point guard in the Lakers!

Besides, does it make a difference whether Kobe Bryant plays point guard or not? The ball was always in his hands anyway......

……

Of course, if you choose Kobe, there are many disadvantages......

The first is that his organizational skills are definitely not as good as Nash's, and it can't be said that when Nash first entered the league, his organizational skills were not revealed......

It can only be said that Nash's willingness to organize is stronger than Kobe......

If Kobe Bryant is allowed to play point guard, the ghost will know when he will divide the ball, or the ghost will know if he will share the ball!

Moreover, this paranoia also gave Richard a bit of a headache, he could already predict that if he really chose Kobe, there would definitely be a lot of bullshit in the future......

So Richard hasn't decided who to choose with the Nets' precious No. 8 pick......

……

The day before the draft, in Richard's hotel room.

Iverson, Big Ben, Miller and Raheem were all there, as were Carlisle and Stevens......

"Guys, tomorrow is the draft, I wish you all the best!" Richard said to Iverson and the others.

Iverson's face was a little melancholy, he really wanted to continue to play for Richard, but he also knew very well that he would definitely be the candidate for the top show!

The Philadelphia 76ers have already made a commitment to definitely pick him with the top pick in the draft!

"Aaron, you kid don't have a look of losing millions, man, if I'm not mistaken, the 76ers have already given you the top pick guarantee, right?" Richard said with a smile.

Iverson nodded, he had developed resistance to Richard's "magic calculation", Richard guessed this, Iverson was not surprised at all.

"That's a good thing! Aaron, do a good job! Richard patted Iverson on the shoulder.

Iverson nodded, and made up his mind that if there was a chance to transfer in the future, he would definitely defect to Richard first......

As for whether Richard was still coaching in the league at that time, this Iverson didn't think about it at all!

In his opinion, Richard is the god of coaches!

If Richard can't eat in the NBA, then Iverson probably will doubt whether the NBA will be recorded......

"Rahim, if you're not mistaken, the teams you've tried out for are doing well, right? You also do a good job, remember, health is a player's greatest asset! ”

"You kid must pay attention to your body in the future, even if your body is only a little uncomfortable, don't brace it!"

Rahim nodded, similar words, Richard talked to him for a whole year, no less than a hundred times, but this time Richard said it again, but Rahim was a little moved......

Richard was like a mother who was about to get married, and he didn't get tired of nagging......

And in the current situation, Iverson is actually really similar to getting married, before the draft, they are still Richard's players, and after the draft conference, they will go their separate ways!
