0042: Michael Jordan [3/3]

The dog sat quietly in the locker room for ten minutes before he got up and walked to the pitch.

From childhood to adulthood, he has lived under the protection of his parents, from food, clothing, housing and transportation, to study and employment, everything is arranged by his parents.

But that doesn't mean he's going to be messed up when something happens.

On the contrary, he is calm. He spent ten minutes searching for ideas in his head. In the end, he decided not to return to China for the time being, because returning to China might not be of much help. On the contrary, staying in the United States has the opportunity to get a sum of money in a short period of time. Of course, it depends on his performance on the pitch.

Previously, the puppy has always maintained a dispensable attitude towards participating in the NBA draft, and in the face of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love, the NBA money they described was only a story, and even when Chinese reporters joked that he would become another cash cow after Yao Shu and Yi Jianlian, he still claimed disapprovingly: I am not short of money.

But now, two phone calls later, everything has changed dramatically.

He wanted to do something for Lao Du and his family. His hunger for money surpassed that of any player on the UCLA Bruins.

His time at Anderson College taught him a lot about the ways to raise money, but now he had to make a name for himself and declare his participation in the draft. Only then can the brand effect be gathered.

As he walked to the sidelines, Ben Holland was in talks with defensive coach Nolan to use Luke Bamot as the starting forward to play with Kevin Love against the López brothers. Because his mobility and altitude are better.

"No, I'm going to start tonight and I'm going to find a way to fight the López brothers."

The puppy's voice was firm.

Ben Holland looked over, and for the first time he had seen longing in the puppy's lazy eyes.

So, he nodded almost without any hesitation: "Okay, you're the starter!" ”

This made Nolan very puzzling.

Nolan loves puppies, but he knows that he can't defend Brook Lopez, known as 'White Duncan', at the height of puppies. At the same time, under the rush of Robin Lopez, with his height, it is difficult to control the rebound as much as in the previous game.

"Why?"

Nolan asked Ben Holland.

Ben Holland smiled, "Because I saw the fire in his eyes." ”

Flame? What is it?

If it weren't for the fact that the puppy's skin color was too obvious, Assistant Nolan would really suspect that the puppy was actually Holland's biological son: this reason is too!

As a fan of Japanese comics, he couldn't help but want to say: Why don't you say that you saw the Pegasus Meteor Fist?

……

ESPN chose to broadcast the game nationwide for the four games played that day, and Time Warner will also broadcast the entire game in California.

The two commentators that ESPN has named today are draft expert Chatford and another legendary superstar from UCLA, Bill Wharton.

While the UCLA boys were having a full-court showcase, Bill Wharton came to the sidelines. The coaching staff of the UCLA Bruins and the executives of the management department hurriedly went over to greet him.

But it's clear that Ben Holland doesn't like the UCLA basketball legend. He didn't come over to shake his hand, and Bill Wharton didn't say hello to him.

Their feud has a long history, and on the first day the UCLA announced that Ben Holland would be the team's head coach, Bill Walton made a sharp attack in the media.

However, the feud between them did not affect Bill Wharton's communication with the puppy, and he took the initiative to walk over to greet the puppy as the players returned to the bench: "Hey, Snoopy. I've seen your games and you've had a really good sense of position under the basket, but you still have to work on your footwork, both on the defensive end and on the offensive end. ”

"After the game, if you have time. I'll take off my suit and show you some movements. ”

Bill Wharton offered to teach.

This remark caused exclamations from the players.

After all... This is Bill Walton, this is an NBA Hall of Fame center. His willingness to teach footwork is a rare opportunity, if not an honor.

The puppy didn't actually know Bill Wharton, but he heard the exclamations of his teammates and the joy of the coaches that he couldn't hide. The fool also knows that this must be a big shot.

Also, the puppy did feel that he needed to learn more about basketball and couldn't keep relying on instinct.

"Okay, of course there's time." The puppy politely agreed.

"Hopefully you'll be able to hold off the López brothers next. It's a game that really determines your draft pick. Bill Wharton patted the puppy on the shoulder: "Come on!" ”

The puppy smiled and nodded.

……

The Lopez brothers, while not as eye-catching as prospective Michael Beasley, still attracted two NBA team general managers to the court, one for the Suns and the other for the Nets.

The Phoenix Suns finally made up their minds to transform after three seasons of crazy running, and for this reason they even brought in Shackle O'Neal, the heaviest center in league history, from Miami to Phoenix, but... Phoenix was so hot that the fat sharks didn't have the effect they had hoped for. He and Stephen Nash are like two trains in opposite directions, and the chemistry between them is infinitely close to zero.

But that didn't dampen the Suns' management's determination to make a change, and after the trade market didn't make a mark, they set their sights on the draft. The López brothers are the most authentic classical centers in this rookie.

Brook Lopez, in particular, is often tempted to associate him in the direction of Tim Duncan, albeit at a much slower pace. But in this era of withering centers, there are not many seven-foot interior lines with complete offensive skills.

The Nets, who are rebuilding, are also desperate to find a reliable interior partner for Vince Carter. Although this season, the Boston Celtics have led the boom in the formation of the Big Three. But in the minds of more team general managers, internal and external partners like OK and Yao Mai are the most cost-effective secrets to win the championship.

In addition to the general managers of these two teams, other teams also sent a large number of scouts to the scene.

As the NCAA schedule heads into the tight round of 16, NBA teams are increasingly eager to pick their elite and don't want to miss out on any potential.

Shoe sponsors are also in the same mood as NBA teams.

Today, both Adidas and Nike sent senior manager-level managers to the arena. Their focus is on UCLA's Russell Westbrook, whose impressive Westbrook has made it to the lottery with two consecutive wins last week. Moreover... His explosive style of play is a favorite of sneaker sponsors, who know what kind of player sells the best shoes.

The biggest spectator of the game appeared five minutes before the start of the game, and when he walked into the arena surrounded by bodyguards, the whole stadium exploded, and everyone, including the players on the bench, was screaming.

"Michael Jordan!"

This is a superstar whose name even a puppy can call accurately.
