Chapter 58

At this moment, an ordinary fan suddenly discovered that there were Chinese people among the five best shots of the day in the NBA!
CCTV5 is broadcasting Wujiaqiu, dubbed in Chinese.

"Let's take a look at today's top five NBA goals, the fifth place among today's five best goals, and the little emperor James running thousands of miles, nailing the big hat!"

"The fourth of today's five best shots, Kobe Bryant is not afraid of the Big Three of the Celtics, playing around in the air and making great moves!"

……

"Today's five best shots are the first. Duncan attempted to dunk with one hand, and the young player Chan Ning changed hands!"

The TV screen played Channing's shots from various angles over and over again, stepping up to take off, grabbing the ball with one hand, changing hands in mid-air, drifting from the back of the backboard, and scoring with his left hand!
It can be seen that the NBA officially gave Channing's goal a high evaluation. Not only did it rank first among the five best goals, but it also found similar goals in history for comparison.

That was Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, in the 1991 finals that can be buckled in the air to change hands!

The two goals of Channing and Jordan were broadcast on the TV at the same time, and the fans were surprised to find that they were actually very similar.

In the 1991 Finals, Jordan received a pass and took a step forward from the free throw line. When he caught the ball with one hand with his right hand, he was about to split the dunk, because he saw Sam Perkins under the basket trying to block the shot (actually Parkins Jin Siyi just stretched out his hand for a little gesture, he didn't intend to take off to block the block at all, and he couldn't block it at all), and then decided to change his movements and change hands for a layup.

The dunk from the free throw line, the shot and this mid-air change of hands are Jordan's most classic shots, and Jordan's mid-air change of hands is very difficult, and even Jordan himself staggered a little when he landed (Jordan's body control ability is very good) Strong, many of them still landed steadily after being fouled, and it is rare to see him staggering to the ground), so he has become the object of many NBA stars vying to imitate.

McGrady, who was still a primary school student at the time, recalled this way in the future. "He's changing hands and still going up in the air and throwing the ball in? That totally blew me away, man, I've never seen anything like that, I don't think anybody can replicate that. McGrady didn’t lie. After entering the NBA, he tried to copy Jordan’s move, but he failed in the end and left a sentence of “almost kill himself”.

Accidentally reached the top of the top five balls, which suddenly reversed Channing's reputation. The overwhelming posts were all bragging about Channing's praises. It seemed that one of the top five balls could make Channing completely unable to play in the NBA and immediately become a Chinese basketball player. The star of hope, under the previous posts that one-sidedly belittled Qian Ning, there were also many remarks in defense of Qian Ning.

The screen was full of fierce battles between Heizi and brainless fans, and Channing was stunned again.

At the same time, Channing's lever change caused a wave of heated and serious discussions among real fans. Everyone compared Channing's and Jordan's movements, trying to find similarities and differences.

"It's really similar. Both of them catch the ball with one hand and take off with one hand, then switch to the left hand in the air, and pull the bar with one hand to score!"

"Jordan took off from the middle and finished with his left hand. Channing took off from the left and drifted to the right to finish. Channing flew farther in the air."

"But Jordan's center of gravity has always remained very stable. Looking at his landing, it seems that he can do this action easily, and he can do it casually. Looking at Channing, he rolled a few meters after landing. From this point, we can judge that it is still Jordan. stronger."

"Nonsense, you don't compare the defenders. There is no defense in front of Jordan, only Sam Perkins stretched out his hand symbolically. In front of Channing is Tim Duncan who is fully blocking the block, and he can shoot at high speed. It is obviously more difficult to change hands after the confrontation!"

……

Chen Ning laughed off the quarrels. Just after the game against the Spurs, he had already soaked in the training hall. He practiced until sunset and fell asleep beautifully. The next morning, the weather was fine. In Guo Degang’s words, On a sunny day, Channing got up early and went straight to the court for training.

There are two days before the next game. Today is the media day of the 76ers. After the daily training in the morning, Cheeks led the team to accept media interviews in the afternoon.

All the people present were professional sports reporters, and they asked good questions, such as what was the key point of being able to draw with the Spurs in the fourth quarter of the last game, and what kind of changes will be made in the next game against the Raptors? Category.

Cheeks answered in a measured manner, but at the end, he suddenly broke a big news:

"Channing is a rookie we are very optimistic about. His performance in the game against the Spurs is obvious to all. After discussion with our coaching staff, we unanimously decided that starting from the next game, Channing will enter the starting lineup."

One sentence was like a deep water bomb, which made the reporters explode.

"What? May I ask why you made such a decision?"

"Will Channing be a surprise player against the Raptors?"

They chirped and asked, Cheeks looked enigmatic:

"I'm really sorry, our interview time is up, if you want to find out why, please pay attention to our next game."

Blinking mysteriously, Cheeks led the players to retreat collectively, leaving the bewildered reporters to inquire about each other.

Qian Ning was also confused, what's going on?How did I become the starter?He asked the head coach in the locker room.

Cheeks explained to him with a sly smile:
"Qian, we have noticed that the recent public opinion is very unfriendly to you, so I deliberately released this big news at the last moment, let those reporters guess, the more mysterious news spreads faster, which is good for you."

Channing is very grateful to the head coach for taking the time to care about his public opinion. It seems that Cheeks is really good at communicating with players. He is a good coach who cares about players from the heart.

"But, uh, what I mean is, can I really start?" Channing still had some doubts about his abilities. He had only played one NBA game, and he was blown away by the hateful Duncan. Is it really appropriate to be a starter?

"Believe in yourself, Qian, your ability has already impressed all the members of the coaching staff, you just need to maintain confidence, and then more experience will be enough."

Is it really possible?Channing still has some doubts, not to mention that the current starting power forward is Evans, will he agree?In my impression, Evans is still a little wary of Channing, and Channing doesn't want to offend others by stealing his teammate's starter.

In my memory, there are many examples in the history of the NBA who got emotional because of being robbed of the first round. After Iguodala was selected No. 2004 in the first round in 9, he was directly sent by the 76ers as the starting small forward, which caused the former starter The dissatisfaction of Green Robinson in the third position, the big dog Robinson chose to leave in desperation.
