Chapter 20 Jersey Numbers (Part II)

Osborne solved the contract problem, the next step is to choose the jersey number, there are actually no rules for choosing the jersey number, as long as it does not exceed two digits, and you can't choose the number that the team has retired. However, Osborne doesn't know what retirement number the Pistons have, but it doesn't matter, I don't know how to ask the gods. The god of the system is Osborne's consultant and nanny or training center, anyway, the system has to be successful, and having a great god belt is to take you to pretend to be forced to take you to fly.

The system god really lived up to expectations, and explained the selection criteria of the jersey number and the retired number of the Pistons to Osborne, it said: "Under normal circumstances, in addition to the team's retired jersey number can not be worn, and the number of other players cannot be used, you can choose the rest, of course, if you insist on wearing the retired jersey, you can also do it, but you need to pay a fine." The Pistons' retired jersey numbers are: No. 2 Chuck Daley's number, where the "2" number represents the number of championships the team has won. No. 4 your current team president Joe Dumas's number, No. 11 Isaiah Thomas's jersey number, No. 15 Winnie Johnson's jersey number, No. 16 Bob Lannier's jersey number, No. 21 Dave Bing's jersey number, this is not the Spurs' No. 21 rookie jersey number, and our bad boy Bill Lambiere's No. 40 jersey number, the other two players only have pennants and no retirement numbers, these are all the Pistons' retirement numbers, and the rest you can choose whatever you want. However, in many cases, some numbers do have symbolic meaning for individuals, such as Kobe Bryant's No. 24, which is his inspirational performance to surpass Jordan's No. 23, and is his first step to surpass Jordan, of course, this is just a joke, not to be taken seriously. Another example is LeBron James's No. 23, which was worn to express respect for his idol Jordan No. 23, although he later wore the No. 6 jersey for the Heat, but called on everyone to abandon the No. 23 jersey, which is also to show respect for Jordan. These are all jokes, as well as the eternal No. 21 rookie Shifo Duncan, basically the number of each star has a certain symbolic meaning, if you want to choose, I suggest you choose the No. 25 jersey, first, you are the rookie who was selected with the 25th pick in the first round, and second, so that you can surpass the jersey number first like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, so that you can surpass Kobe Bryant and LeBron James from the number first. Is this good? ”

I really didn't expect you to come up with such a vulgar idea, I don't want to be the laughing stock of others, let's keep a low profile and choose a non-popular No. 0 jersey, speaking of the No. 0 jersey, the most impressive is the Wizards' No. 0 agent General Gilbert Arenas, he participated in the NBA draft in the summer of 2001, but the results did not meet his expectations, and finally he was selected by the Warriors with the 30th pick, when the NBA was only 29 teams, and the 30th pick was reduced to the second round, So Gilbert's identity is a second-round pick, because he is dissatisfied with the NBA draft. I vowed to get ahead and be the team's starter. So it's really inspirational to choose this No. 0 jersey number, and there is another famous No. 0 jersey number, Weishao Russell Westbrook, who is called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by many fans in China, has a physical fitness that is simply off the charts, and is an outstanding representative of the violent flow of basketball play. Osborne chose the No. 0 jersey purely because it is simple and easy to remember, and he does not have a championship, and every time he wins a championship in the future, he will add a number to his jersey number, such as using the No. 1 jersey after winning a championship, using the number 2 after winning two championships, and using 3 for three times, in fact, Osborne learned the practice of Pistons coach Chuck Daley, and he felt that this approach could show his personality very well.

His explanation also made the system god disgusted, you don't do it as low-key as mine, but Osborne will not listen to the system god on this issue, but the system god suddenly thought that when Osborne joined the Heat, his championship count would reach 3, if he wanted to use the No. 3 jersey, it would conflict with Osborne's teammate Dwyanwade's jersey number, think about Osborne's embarrassing scene at that time, the system god was excited, but the system god was not ready to remind Osborne, After all, this is three years later, and it is better to wait until then, anyway, it will not necessarily listen to what Osborne says, and if he does, he may not necessarily do it, so it is better not to say it.

Osborne thought that he could bring his own taunting skills, and when he met the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant in the regular season, he could show Kobe Bryant the No. 1 jersey behind his back, Kobe Bryant should understand that this championship was won by the Lakers team that defeated Kobe Bryant, and it was so cool to think about Kobe Bryant's black face. If you meet James, it's even simpler, and you just need to show your back to James, and James should also understand that I Osborne got the championship ring before you, think about James's envious expression, Osborne is simply refreshed. Just relying on the jersey can mock most of the NBA stars, the trash talk king or something, it's just weak, and he can spray Kobe James with a casual championship jersey number, and he can spray Kobe James through the heart, and silence is better than sound here.

The more Osborne wanted to enjoy it, and then his jersey number was chosen as the No. 0 jersey, and the system wanted to persuade Osborne again, but Osborne simply and rudely refused, he said: "The jersey number is so happily decided, don't discuss this issue anymore, the next is to discuss the upcoming summer league, this is an exhibition game for rookies, I must perform well and not let James Carmelo and those guys be beautiful, I must be a blockbuster." "That's right, it's July 1st, July 8th NBA Summer League is about to start, there's still a week to adjust, I have to hone my individual singles skills, so I have enough time to test my back-to-back singles ability, as well as pull-up jump shooting ability, and I also have to learn Curry's three-point perverted quasi-skills, which is simply a scoring weapon." The system is now in twin mode, so I have two weeks to fine-tune my state. ”

Thinking of this, Osborne began to prepare for the beginning of his brilliant life, and he also called his brother Ivan and said: Don't let anyone disturb him in the past seven days, he wants to retreat and practice basketball skills, and instructs Ivan to find a house with its own independent gym and swimming pool as soon as possible. After saying that, he hung up the phone, and Ivan was alone over there for some reason.
