NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 44 Yao Ming's First Show
Sure enough, after ESPN's rating came out, Juwan and Connecticut immediately became the thorn in the side of the NCAA teams, and there were many people who came out to speak harshly to them.

Some were upset that they got such a high rating from ESPN.

Some are purely for hype.

Carmelo Anthony was also asked about his views on this matter, but instead of firing at Juwan and Connecticut, he first bombarded a wave of ESPN experts: "If they haven't woken up, I suggest they go to sleep first, and then make ratings!"

Syracuse University is only ranked s in ESPN's ratings, and there is still an ss level between Connecticut at the sss level. This is how unfavorable they are!

The regular season schedule of the Big East has come out, and it will be some time before Syracuse University meets Connecticut. If he shoots at Juwan now, it seems that he is a bit impatient. Let's first express his dissatisfaction with the ESPN hammer experts.

In fact, he also knows that other people in Syracuse University are not bad, because he came here because of Syracuse University's poor strength. He wanted to prove his strength to the general managers of NBA teams, but with him joining, it shouldn't be just S-level!
It's not that they look down on Syracuse University, it's that they look down on Carmelo Anthony!

"They will regret the rating they gave now!"

Oakley also called Zhu Wan at this time. The public opinion outside was so fierce that he felt that Zhu Wan must need his enlightenment, otherwise the endless pressure would overwhelm him.

The call was connected quickly. He didn't wait for Zhu Wan to say anything, and he said first: "Dude, don't worry too much about what people say outside. If what they say can decide everything, then there is no need for us to play the game. You can play your own game. I believe that with your strength..."

"Take it easy, do it lightly, do you beat your back like this? Pay attention to the rhythm!"

"Forehead……"

Oakley, who was quite worried about Juwan, was not worried in an instant.

"What's the matter? Charles? Keep talking, what's the matter with my strength?" Zhu Wan on the other end of the phone noticed Oakley's silence and urged him to continue talking.

I will continue to say der!

Oakley cursed in his heart.

It was in vain that he was so worried about whether this guy would be overwhelmed by the pressure. In the end, this guy was fine, and he still had the leisure to make people beat his back. What a heartless guy!

Out of anger, Oakley changed his mind in an instant. He was ready to put more pressure on Zhu Wan: "Man, Michael told me that with your current strength, you will be marginalized after playing in the league for two or three years at most. He said you are a rough guy who relies on his body to play in the NCAA!"

Oakley didn't make that up either.

Before calling Zhu Wan, he made a special call to Michael Jordan and asked him his opinion on Zhu Wan. He expected him to say something nice and pass it on to Zhu Wan, so as to increase his self-confidence.

Unexpectedly, Michael Jordan’s evaluation after watching Zhu Wan’s video was: “If you need physical fitness but no physical fitness, you need skills but no skills. Even if you are very good in the NCAA, you will be marginalized after going to the NBA for at least three years!”

Such an evaluation made Oakley hang up the phone resentfully, and did not intend to tell Zhu Wan.

This is the view of the "God of Basketball"!In his opinion, these words undoubtedly sentenced Zhu Wan to death. If Zhu Wan was told this, the boy's mentality would probably collapse.

But Oakley saw that he was so leisurely and unaffected by the outside rumors, and wanted to hit him, so he changed his mind instantly and said all these without reservation.

"He really said that?"

Originally, he thought that Zhu Wan would be depressed when he heard it, but unexpectedly, this guy was actually excited...

Yes, Oakley can clearly feel that this guy's tone is even more excited!

What the hell is this?

He realized that he didn't understand this brat at all!
It's no wonder Joo-wan is so excited.

You know, ESPN's evaluation, Barkley's mouth, and Michael Jordan's vision are known as the "three poisonous milks" in the basketball world!
Originally ESPN gave him such a poisonous milk, and Zhu Wan still didn't know what to do, but now Jordan's evaluation is no different from "life-saving elixir" in his opinion!
He said that I would be marginalized in the league within three years...

Steady, steady, becoming a super giant in the next three years must be stable!

"Thank Michael for me, please invite him to the Gold Club when you have time!"

"Thanks……"

Thanks hell!

Oakley could only hang up the phone angrily and amusingly, but Zhu Wan's mentality was an eye-opener for him. It's not like he has never seen a good mentality, but he has never seen a good mentality like Zhu Wan's.

In this way, he will be relieved!

At this time, Zhu Wan also knew their opponents in the regular season opener-Marquette University Golden Eagles!
The moment he heard the name of this team, the image of a "Sao. Nan" with bulging cheeks instantly appeared in Zhu Wan's mind.

Just left a deep impression on Chris Bosh's heart, and in the first game of the new season, he met Dwyane Wade again... I didn't expect him to have such a relationship with the future Big Three of the Heat.

After Chris Bosh, Juwan finally encountered another game worthy of his expectation.

And this is the regular season opener!

Gotta get ready...

In the next few days, Zhu Wan began to be more strict with himself. At the same time, he was also more strict with his teammates. However, he was strict with different teammates. For example, those who will definitely not enter the NBA but are the main force in Connecticut. He only requires these guys to complete the daily training volume with quality and quantity. But for Ben Gordon, his requirements are even more!In addition to the fact that this guy has greater potential than others, it is also related to the fact that this guy's state directly affects his "sewage style of play"!
If Okafor is the guarantee of his rebounding, then Ben Gordon is the guarantee of his assists... He must let this guy adjust his state!
It is worth mentioning that Ben Gordon's ability to resist pressure is still good. Zhu Wan's strict requirements did not overwhelm him, but he gradually adapted to this training intensity.

He was still shouting in his heart: "One day I must sit with you and drink Gatorade side by side!"

Zhu Wan also noticed the firmness in his eyes, and nodded secretly, finally he looked a little more like Xiao Yan now.

But hard training is hard training. On the night of October 10th, Zhu Wan was still in front of the TV on time to watch Dayao's NBA debut!

This is a historic moment!
Okafor also watched the game with him.

When he saw Yao Ming appearing on the stage, he couldn't help sighing: "Oh, God, this guy is really tall!"

"Well, it's 2 meters 26!"

"How much? 2 meters... 26?" Okafor gestured with his hand. He is only 2 meters, and 08 meters is the height he needs to look up to. "It must be a lot of pressure to fight against such a guy!"

Hearing this, Zhu Wan couldn't laugh or cry, did he already think about confronting Yao Ming?

But if I really want to say, Okafor entered the league in the first two years of his career and was really educated by Yao Ming. In those few years, when he met Yao Ming, he was basically "8+6".

Needless to say, David Stern attaches great importance to Yao Ming. The first game of his career was given the treatment of live broadcasting in the United States. Even as the No. [-] pick, few can get this treatment.

Seeing Yao Ming wearing the Warriors uniform, Zhu Wan felt strange and familiar, familiar because it was the last time he saw such a youthful Yao Ming, strange because he had never seen him wearing a Warriors uniform.

Hope this time, you can have a better career!

Zhu Wan thought to himself, the game has officially started, and the Warriors have taken very comprehensive measures to protect Yao Ming. Considering that this is the first NBA game in his career, and it will be broadcast live across the United States, he chose to let Yao Ming come off the bench.

But even so, Yao Ming still played stumblingly, but this has nothing to do with his strength. It can be clearly seen that he has not adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the NBA, which is the most important thing.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem. There is no need to worry about Yao Ming's adaptability.

At the end of the game, the Warriors lost the opening game 88-96. Yao Ming played 13.24 minutes and scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 3 turnovers. Compared with the original show, there is not much change in the first show. Simply describe it as "sloppy".

However, Zhu Wan himself didn't expect Yao Ming to change his team and start his career in the first game. He could foresee Yao Ming's poor performance in this game, and he just came to witness this historic moment.

"I didn't expect the intensity of confrontation at the NBA level to be so high!"

This was Okafor's first reaction after watching the game.

Check it out!

Check it out!

Look at what a high EQ is!
Is this because Yao Ming didn't play well?

This is too much confrontation in the NBA!
To be honest, Okafor has never partnered with Yao Ming in his career, otherwise he would definitely attract a wave of domestic fans. There are not many foreigners who can chat like this!
Of course, this time Okafor's domestic popularity will definitely be much higher than before, um...as a teammate of Juwan University!
Moreover, he also believes that with Okafor's character, he will never say "my teammates don't even have Ibaka level" after more than ten years after eating the dividends of domestic fans.

It's a pity that the American media is not as eloquent as Okafor. Zhu Wan read the comments on Yao Ming's debut in the newspaper the next day, and all kinds of ridicule emerged one after another.

This is American media!

It can boast you to the sky, but it can also damage you to the ground!

The general psychological quality really can't bear it.

However, these sarcasm should have no effect on Yao Ming. Zhu Wan remembers that Yang Yi once recalled the night of Yao Ming’s debut. He originally wanted to comfort Yao Ming, who played poorly, but when he went to the locker room, Yao Ming was smiling like a meme.
