I really play basketball

Chapter 132 The chief goes home
The second pick in the first round is the Bucks. There are three favorites in this year's draft, and Kidd, who has already been selected, need not be mentioned.

Between the remaining Grant Hill and the big dog Glenn Robinson, the Bucks still chose the big dog.

NBC's draft experts explained the Bucks' selection in this way——

"Compared to Grant Hill, who graduated as a senior, Glenn Robinson has the demeanor of last year. He is still very young, only a sophomore. This NCAA season, he can average 30.3 points and 11.2 rebounds per game..."

On the yacht, Lin Xing rolled his eyes.

"It's more like me? Isn't this Porcelain riding on a horse?"

If Lin Xing was present, he would definitely ask Big Dog: Brother, I am an NCAA champion, what kind of champion are you?

Of course, in this year's Crazy Three, Big Dog didn't play badly.

With his teammates only Kunzo Martin and Matt Waddle watching, he led the team all the way to the quarterfinals, before being dropped by Duke.

Yes, Grant Hill, who the Bucks look down on, is precisely the one who stepped on Glenn Robinson to reach the semi-finals.

It's just the quarterfinals, and Hill's performance is also very average.

And in the final finals, Duke was also upset, they lost to Arkansas led by Corris Williamson.

So in the eyes of the Bucks, Hill can win the big dog because he has Cherokee Parks and Antonio Lang around him.

In terms of data performance, Hill is not as good as the big dog; in terms of age, Hill is also the older one.

Hill's only better team record was also overshadowed by the aura of a prestigious school behind him.

So after comprehensive consideration, the Bucks chose the big dog.

From the perspective of latecomers, there is actually no problem with this choice.

Dagou still has talent, but he is not aggressive.

Hill is very aggressive, but his body, his injuries...

So strictly speaking, these two people are actually the same.

The Mavericks chose Kidd because of their position, and they really chose the right one.

The strongest of the three is indeed the old boy Kidd.

The Pistons, the third pick in the first round, chose Grant Hill, whose style was completely out of tune.

Although there has been a slight change in the draft, the ownership of the top three in the 94 draft is still exactly the same as in the previous life.

Then there is the fourth pick in the first round, the Timberwolves, who have been bad for a season, have to face difficult choices in the draft.

This time, their general manager was Jack McCloskey.

That's right, Master Jack didn't dismiss get out of class because he missed Lin Xing and Webber last year.

Because Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor understands him well --

I know, Jack, it's not your problem, and it's not Minneapolis' problem.

It's the problem of the group of people who look down on Minneapolis and the Timberwolves!

As a result, Master Jack stayed on.

In this draft, he originally aimed at Kidd, because he felt that Kidd's pass could activate the white twin towers that he once had high hopes for.

If it doesn't work, it's not impossible to choose Grant Hill and Big Dog.

In short, he will never give up those really popular rookies just because of those rumors like last year.

But who made them fail to get the top three picks?The top three favorites had nothing to do with them as early as the moment the draft lottery was released.

However, in addition to the top three favorites, Master Jack also has a favorite candidate.

That is -- Donyell Marshall from the University of Connecticut.

"Oh, Marshall?"

"Why, Timberwolves can't make this choice?"

Seeing Lin Xing's astonishment, Peyton asked curiously.

In the end, Lin Xing really nodded: "They already have Christian Laettner and Sean Bradley, and they chose another big man. What do they want to do? Are the five insiders going together?"

You know, Lin Xing has not counted Billy Owens yet, counting Billy Owens, the top five of death has four.

Even if it is the era when insiders are king, you can't choose a bunch of insiders to play mahjong, can you?
"Can they play Christian Laettner or Marshall?"

Peyton spread his hands and offered a solution.

It is indeed a good choice for a power forward who is not three or four to play three. In this era when the inside line is king, it is indeed a good choice.

That's what the Rockets do, and Robert Horry is the Rockets' starting small forward.

Lin Xing still shook his head: "Then they shouldn't choose Marshall? Isn't Juwan Howard better than Marshall?"

I have to say that Master Jack's vision is really at Jordan's level.

It doesn't matter if you don't choose Eddie Jones and Jaylen Rose. Uncle Huo is the first real billionaire in the NBA. Isn't it much better than Marshall?

Lin Xing shook his head. Fortunately, last year he let Aaron Goodwin let go and prevented the Timberwolves from drafting him.

Otherwise, the management team, which has been in operation for a year and a half, may be able to manage Lin Xing's heart disease.

The Wizards picked Uncle Huo away, and Weber reunited with his old teammates.

After that, there is nothing to say about the choice.

The Lakers picked Eddie Jones, and the Nuggets picked Jalen Rose, none of which deviated from the original historical line.

As far as Jerry West's vision is concerned, it's really good. Among a bunch of wrong answers, he found the correct answer for him.

Of course, the Nuggets' vision is not bad. It's almost the middle of the first round and they can pick up Jaylen Rose. That's something.

After Jaylen Rose, Lin Xing also saw Clifford Rozier, a rookie center who had met once, and was taken away by the Blazers ahead of schedule.

"There is one less target, so who will the old Nelson choose? Charlie Ward?"

Soon, with the 25th pick in the first round, the Warriors' choice is——

"Point guard from Florida State, Charlie Ward!"

Originally, Charlie Ward should have been picked 26th in the first round by the Knicks.

In other words, he should be a target for Pat Riley.

But now, he was cut off by the Warriors.

The camera scanned the Knicks' draft room, and Pat Riley patted the table.

"Hey, what does Don Nelson want to do? Take a defensive player for the offensive team?"

If Nelson Sr. was on the scene, he would have told Riley:

"What's wrong with the offensive team, the offensive team can't defend?"

Old Nelson's tactical thinking is inadvertently changing.

In any case, the first reinforcement of the Warriors in the new season was born.

"Being able to gain a foothold in the New York gang shows that Charlie Ward still has some strength..."

Lin Xing is satisfied with the Warriors' choice.

But beside him, Peyton, whose eyes are not eyes and nose is not nose, who has long been ruined by jealousy, uses this to make fun of Lin Xing——

"Sta, didn't you say you are a point guard? Why is one Tim not enough, the Warriors have to choose another point guard, ah? Are you really a point guard?"

Lin Xing gritted his teeth: "I'm not a point guard, but you are a point guard? Don't blame me for reminding you. In the season that just ended, I had more assists than you!"

In the season that just ended, Lin Xing averaged 7.4 assists per game, while Payton only had 6.0.

"So what's wrong with having too many assists? If you're a point guard, what is Tim? A shooting guard? A 180 shooting guard, don't tease me, I'm about to die laughing, hahahaha!"

……

As soon as the draft is over, the free market and the transfer market begin.

Lin Xing's contract has not expired, so this year's free market and transfer market have nothing to do with him.

He has been staying in Hawaii, relaxing for more than a month.

During this period, there were no big moves in the NBA, but small moves continued.

For example, the Spurs traded back Sean Elliott from the Pistons.

And a year ago, Sean Elliott was the Pistons who went from the Spurs.

The Spurs at the time traded him to Dennis Rodman.

Don't underestimate this deal. Sean Elliott is not an ordinary person. In the 92-93 season, he was also selected as an All-Star.

In exchange for an All-Star in a trade, this wave of the Spurs can be called a big supplement.

"It's a pity, the general just can't win the big dream in this life, no matter how much he makes up, the championship at this time has nothing to do with him."

The Celtics signed Dominique Wilkins out of contract, and the lottery team signed a late All-Star.

It can only be said that the Green Army is still struggling compared to the Zijin Army that has been in a bad season for a season.

The contract of Danny Manning, which the Eagles traded for Wilkins, also expired, and he also directly signed the Suns as a free agent.

The addition of Manning made Barkley stand up again.

With a big mouth that couldn't stay idle, he spoke directly to the reporter he met by chance:
"Danny is a good guy. I know his position overlaps with mine, but everyone is an All-Star, and position overlap is not a problem at all."

"With his joining, we will forget the failure of this season. In the new season, Phoenix City will be revived with full blood!"

Then came the Magic, who realized that the Sharks needed a helper at the four.

They traded Scott Skiles for almost nothing to free up cap space.

Then he snatched Horace Grant from the Bulls with a two-year contract.

The Bulls lost Cobra Grant, and the free market also made up for it.

But what they make up is not the inside line, but the back line.

Ron Harper, who averaged 20.1 points per game the previous season, joined as a free agent.

The Warriors are not idle either, and there is no trade.

The main rotation can't be moved, three draft picks were given to the Timberwolves, and the rest had to be kept for their own use.

Even if old Nelson wants to trade, he has no leverage!
Without a deal, the old Nelson can only fumble in the free market for a while.

Although the current boss of the Warriors is not picky, he is not a generous person.

The old Nelson has a limited budget and cannot join the competition for Wilkins, Danny Manning, and Horace Grant.

But the insiders really need to make up people, even if they can't make up a shark, gorilla, general or something in one go.

At the very least, it is necessary to make up an inside line, and strive to make the Warriors' inside line deep enough to use wheel battles to deal with Big Dream next season.

Based on this idea, Old Nelson contacted an old acquaintance.

Chief Robert Parrish has turned 40, and in two months he will be 41.

But he still has no intention of retiring, because his condition remains very good.

In the Celtics last season, he averaged 11.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

You know, his average playing time is only 26.9 minutes.

But the Celtics are not going to renew his contract. Uncle Chief, who doesn't want to retire, just entered the free market.

The first thing he received was an offer from the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets wanted to sign him, let him replace Mourning, and teach Mourning by the way.

The chief was about to accept it. At this moment, Old Nelson called him.

The Chief is indeed an old acquaintance of the Warriors. On the one hand, his NBA career started with the Warriors.

The reason why he later became a famous star in the Green Army is because of the bishop's wave of god-level operations.

He tempted the Warriors with the No. 80 pick in [-]. A No. [-] pick directly replaced the No. [-] pick of the Chiefs and Warriors, and then used the No. [-] pick to select Kevin McHale.

A number one lottery was exchanged for two top [-] superstars. With this operation, I can only sigh with emotion: I am worthy of being a bishop.

勇士用状元签选到了乔·巴里·卡罗尔，其实也不算差了，巅峰也是场均24.1分8.7个篮板2.1个助攻1.4个抢断2.0个盖帽的强人。

It's just that the durability is not as good as the Chiefs who have been playing until the age of 43, plus Kevin McHale.

In this deal, the Warriors lost money.

On the other hand, Nelson Sr. is an old Celtic, even though he never played with the Chiefs.

But when the Chiefs were at their peak, Nelson Sr. happened to be the head coach of the Bucks.

As opponents, the two have also fought against each other for many years, and they are very familiar with each other.

A phone call passed, and although he was also a substitute with a similar salary, the Chiefs chose the Warriors without hesitation.

"I started my career here and it's great to be back here for the last few years of my career."

This wave is just two words - go home!
The addition of the chief also gave Lin Xing a little more confidence in the new season.

No matter how old the chief is, at least he is also a big center with sufficient size and solid basic skills.

"In any case, in the new season, we can let Tyrone Hill, Longley, Chris Gatlin and the Chiefs take turns to deal with the big dream."

……

Lin Xing stayed in Hawaii until mid-July. After leaving Hawaii, he did not return directly to the American continent.

Instead, I took a trip to Europe and went skiing.

He didn't have any idea about the nickname "Ski Man", mainly because he had to go to Italy when he received an invitation from Armani.

In Milan City, Armani's fashion show, Lin Xing walked the red carpet and showed his face.

Other than that, nothing happened to him.

At the backstage of the fashion show, Lin Xing spread his hands like LeBlanc: "That's it?"

Aaron Goodwin also nodded: "Otherwise?"

"Just walking on the red carpet and showing my face made me travel half the world?"

"It's not a matter of big or small things. It's a matter of more money and less money. Think about how much money you got from Armani."

Aaron Goodwin finally made the lore, and Lin Xing has nothing to say about FK.

He could only go to the front desk, find a place to sit down, and watch the fashion show for a while.

Some people will say: the fashion show must be beautiful, after all there are so many beauties.

But Lin Xing wanted to say: Looks good?Nice looking der!

Regarding this Armani fashion show, Lin Xing's evaluation is only two words - sand sculpture!
For fashion shows, Victoria's Secret looks better, after all, there are fewer clothes to wear.

Armani's fashion show, not only sand sculptures, but also a lot of clothes, Lin Xing watched without any desire.

"Drowsy, really drowsy..."

At the end, Lin Xing shook his head, and asked Aaron Goodwin next to him to book a ticket.

"Let's book a plane ticket, we should go back to the United States."

Aaron Goodwin spread his hands: "Going back to the United States? You think too much, and Armani also arranged a snow activity, which will be tomorrow."

"I also need to go?"

"Of course, Star, Armani paid for everything."

Ok, the one who pays is the uncle, and Lin Xing can only follow Uncle Armani.

But the next day, when he arrived at the snow scene, Lin Xing exclaimed: It smells so good!
When it came to the snow, the signed models of Armani seemed to let go suddenly, and even some models appeared on the ski resort in bikinis.

"This... is there a buff that wears more in hotter places and less in colder places?"

Lin Xing's puzzled little eyes flashed past. He pretended to be serious, but his eyes kept glancing at the group of models in bikinis skiing.

"Are you stunned, Sta?"

Aaron Goodwin winked at the side, and of course Lin Xing shook his head: "No, Aaron, don't talk nonsense, I just think, are they really not cold with so little clothes on?"

"How could it not be cold?"

It was not Aaron Goodwin who answered Lin Xing, but a trembling female voice from behind.

As soon as Lin Xing turned his head, he saw a tall beauty in a bikini who was completely red from the cold.

"Well, I can see that it is indeed cold."

He nodded, seriously.

"You are the staff of Armani, can you respond to the above, can you not put the bikini catwalk in the ski resort?"

"Uh, I'm sorry beauty, we, like you, work for Armani's promotional outlet."

Maybe it was too boring, this tall and hot model in a bikini stood here, chatting with Lin Xing and the others.

"Propaganda, part-time job, what do you mean?"

"To put it simply, this is Armani's signed spokesperson, and I am his agent."

"Signed spokesperson? No wonder you can wear cotton clothes..."

"Why, are contracted models different from spokespersons?"

"Of course it's different. You make big money, but we make small money."

"Small money and big money, don't they all make money, but if you are a supermodel, the treatment should be different?"

"Of course, but a supermodel is so easy to be."

"..."

After a hot chat, Aaron Goodwin stepped aside, and Lin Xing exchanged contact information with this talkative model.

He stayed one more night in Italy, and on the plane back to the United States the next day, Aaron Goodwin asked him:
"What is the name of the model who exchanged contact information with you yesterday? What country is it from?"

When Lin Xing heard this question, he was on guard: "Why are you asking this?"

"Remember her name, next time in Armani's commercial, we can ask her to be the heroine."

Lin Xing put down his guard——

"Heidi Klum, German..."

……

Returning to the American mainland from Italy, Lin Xing quickly contacted Tim Glover and resumed training.

After all, he has been resting for almost two months, and his state has still dropped a lot.

Although it won't be like Teacher Yue and 077, one summer will pass, and the whole person will gain weight.

But the hand feel, physical fitness and so on still need to go through high-intensity training to recover first.

And he is different from Mr. Yue and 077. Strictly speaking, his style of play is still a fluid style of play.

The dependence on the body is much greater than that of the technically streamed teachers and 077.

"Whenever the small skills are improved, you can first ask the teacher and 077 to spend the whole summer like this."

That's what I said, but if Lin Xing really wants to make waves, I'm afraid he has to wait until he has added all the attributes to the full value.

At the end of July, Lin Xing recovered for almost two weeks.

Then in early August, someone from the Basketball Association took Lin Xing directly to Maple Leaf Country.

……

It was the first time for Lin Xing to visit Toronto, a Canadian city.

Because at this time, there is no Raptors in the NBA, but the birth of the Raptors is not far away.

"It is said that the NBA is preparing to form a new team in this city..."

"I know that not only Toronto, but Vancouver will have a team."

"The NBA is still expanding, and it looks like it's going well."

"What, what do you mean, there are domestic players who are ready to come out and join the NBA to test the waters?"

"The Basketball Association has discussed it, but there is no conclusion yet."

"Actually, I don't think it's a bad thing to come out and try. The level of competition in the NBA must be much higher than that of the domestic A-League. In high-level games, you have played more and improved a lot."

"We have made great progress, everyone knows, but you can't just consider the impact on the competitive level..."

"I understand what you mean, but sports, it's better to be pure."

"..."

Lin Xing chatted with the basketball association staff next to him, even a little too much.

But ever since he knew that the staff member's name was Xin Lancheng, he felt that he should talk a little more.

Especially words like "sports should be purer" must be emphasized several times.

Soon, Lin Xing followed Xin Lancheng to the men's basketball team.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome, NBA star!"

At the entrance of the resident training hall, the first thing Lin Xing saw was the coaching staff of the men's basketball team.

The head coach Jiang Xingquan, who will be coached by Jiang 30 or [-] years later, can be called the head coach of the CBA.

But now, he is only a disciple of Qian Chenghai Qian Guidance.

There is also Gong Luming, who had a relationship with Lin Xing once, and is now the assistant coach of the men's basketball team.

As soon as Lin Xing came, Director Jiang enthusiastically extended his hands and shook hands with Lin Xing.

"We are all looking forward to your arrival, especially the group of boys in the training hall. They have long clamored to see the level of the NBA."

Director Jiang is very enthusiastic, but these words, to Lin Xing's ears, it is a challenge after another!
However, he is not in vain.

To put it bluntly, the current him can compete with NBA superstars like Barkley and Pippen.

Are there any players of this level in the men's basketball team?
No, none of them, even Asian Jordan Hu Weidong, Tiger King Sun Jun, in the NBA, can play a main rotation, it is not bad.

The coaches of the coaching staff huddled at the door and introduced themselves, so they knew each other.

Then into the training hall, Lin Xing met the main players of this year's men's basketball team.

Ah Dijiang, Gong Xiaobin, Hu Weidong, Ji Minshang, Liu Yudong, Shan Tao, Sun Jun, Zhang Jinsong, Wu Qinglong, Wu Naiqun, Zheng Wu...

This is a very young men's basketball team. The main lineup is 24-year-old Sun Jun, Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong, Shan Tao, and 23-year-old Wu Naiqun.

Young people, if these days, the head coach has been bragging about a teammate or competitor who has not been present and is not very familiar with him, he must be dissatisfied in his heart.

This kind of dissatisfaction must be completely resolved by going to the court to play a game.

Therefore, in the few days after Lin Xing joined the team, he played several one-on-one games with Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong, and Sun Jun.

In the end, there was no suspense - Lin Xing abused all of them.

Although being abused, this group of people is still not convinced.

"Grandma, this Dalin has great physical strength!"

"Don't talk about it, it's powerful, and its speed is even faster than Nima, how can we defend against it!"

"This person doesn't look like a person of the yellow race. How can a person of the yellow race look like him? Are the people of the yellow race who grew up in the United States different?"

"Maybe it's really different, the food is different."

"I really don't know what he ate to grow up..."

"..."

They attribute the reason for being abused to the fact that Lin Xing's physical fitness is too abnormal.

Indeed, Lin Xing's physical fitness is abnormal.

But still the same sentence, isn’t playing basketball all about your body?

Relying on the performance of abusing everyone in the team, Lin Xing quickly gained a firm foothold in this young men's basketball team.

Director Jiang gave him the core position of the main force, and formed a lineup around him.

Lin Xing is a free agent, accompanied by guard Hu Weidong, forward Liu Yudong, and center Shan Tao.

The other position is flexible, and may go to Ah's Jiang, or Zheng Wu, or Wu Naiqun.

In short, with the addition of Lin Xing, Jiang Xingquan has more confidence in this year's World Championships.

He even felt that if they played well, the goal of the quarter-finals would only be the beginning, and they could even hope for the quarter-finals.

But at the beginning, although the men's basketball team set the goal of the quarter-finals, they were also prepared to be eliminated in the group stage.

The reason—they were assigned to the death group in this World Championships.

They are in a group with the American Dream Team, Spain and Brazil. The group stage is a single round-robin, and only the first and second in the group can advance.

In this case, the men's basketball team must get at least two wins in order to advance to the quarterfinals.

Beat the Dream Team?There is everything in the dream, but there is nothing in the dream to defeat the dream team.

Defeat salted duck, Brazil?These two teams are also strong teams in the FIBA ​​arena.

The first is Banya, an old strong team. Although they don't have the Gasol brothers yet, the cards of the European strong teams are here, and it is very difficult to win.

As for Brazil, before Lin Xing came, the men's basketball team went to St. Petersburg, Russia, and played two friendly matches.

One of them was played against Brazil.

The result was that the men's basketball team lost 49 points.

So the actual situation is that the men's basketball team is already expecting to be out of the group stage before the game starts.

But now, with Lin Xing joining, Director Jiang has gained confidence.

Salted duck, Brazil? If you really want to win, it's not like you have a chance!
　The 7k update is still Calvin. The main reason is that it took a lot of time to check the information. Tomorrow is the World Championships. Let’s make a preview. The World Championships will not be written in detail, and a chapter or even half a chapter will be skipped.
