I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 24, 2005, Charlotte, the Bobcats training hall, at this time, the entire Bobcats training tube inside and outside, presented a kind of enthusiastic atmosphere.

Because after the 2005 NBA Draft Draw, the Charlotte Bobcats have the No. 1 pick, the 9th pick, the 16th pick, the 18th pick, the 21st pick, the 22nd pick, the 27th pick, the 28th pick, and Several second-round picks and other 12 draft picks in each round, the Bobcats' draft training camp is destined to become the most lively draft training camp for all teams in the NBA.

Because of the number one lottery, the top favorites aspiring to the championship will be here.

Because there is also No. 9, which is considered a relatively good draft pick in the lottery, and many lottery prospects are also here.

With the addition of the four mid-stream first-round picks of 16, 18, 21 and 22, those rookies with lottery hopes will also choose the Bobcats as their first choice for trial training.

Coupled with the 27th and 28th picks, those rookies who have a chance to compete in the first round will also come to the Bobcats to look for opportunities.

In addition to the seven first-round picks, the Bobcats also have five second-round picks. Those rookies who don’t have a first-round chance will also choose to come to the Bobcats. Other teams will only have one second round. Here are five. The chances are five times that of other places. As long as the people who count are not bad, they know their choice.

Therefore, in the 2005 draft training camp, there was such a peculiar scene that no NBA team can compare to the Bobcats in its attraction to rookies.

With the same two invitations, the first choice for rookies is the Bobcats.

After all, the Bobcats not only have the advantage of draft picks, but also the advantage of Jordan, the number one Bole in the NBA.

Let's just put it this way, that young man is not talented?

Young people feel that they are talented, they are eager for Bole, and they feel that they are underestimated.

And Jordan, is now the number one Bole in the NBA.

When Chen Xiao's draft prospects were so unclear, Jordan was willing to use such a high pick.

Chris Paul had the prospect of being on the edge of the lottery at the beginning, and Jordan only wanted to make arrangements for the fourth pick.

This is all about buying horse bones for daughters.

As long as you are valued by Jordan, he will not treat you badly, even if you are just a lottery prospect, he will directly sign you with the number one pick, absolutely will not feel wasted, and then use any bargaining chips to trade down.

Therefore, the training camp of the Bobcats is really used to describe the gathering of strong players.

"Sports Illustrated" draft expert Thomason predicted that the top ten picks all appeared in Charlotte's rookie training camp.

The No. 1 pick, Australia's arrogant center Bogut, who feels he is better than Duncan.

Marvin Williams, the top of the four most popular North Carolina youngsters.

Hot spot, point guard Deron Williams.

And in addition to these three super rookies, there is another super rookie left, high school player Gerald Green.

These four are the four biggest favorites in this year's NBA Draft.

The drafting expert of Sports Illustrated also said that all four of them have a chance to win the No. 1 pick.

It depends on who the Bobcats feel they need.

However, because of unexpected circumstances, the Bobcats used their No. 1 pick in exchange for the Wonder Boy Chen Xiao from the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers themselves don't need the No. 1 draft pick. The Cavaliers feel that this draft pick is too high.

Therefore, the No. 1 lottery traded from Chen Xiao has been put on the shelf.

The bargaining chips used by the Bobcats to trade for Chen Xiao were their own No. 1 pick and the Cavaliers' No. 28 pick in exchange for the Cavaliers.

With two draft picks in exchange for Chen Xiao, the first man in the NBA.

This transaction is blood profit.

The reason why there is such a **** trade is that the Cavaliers have no junk contracts to deal with, and the Bobcats have no players that the Cavaliers need except Chris Paul.

So there is no need to consider the handling of **** contracts or the issue of robbing value players.

It's purely a draft pick-for-player trade.

Under this circumstance, Jordan and the Bobcats have given the greatest sincerity here, and the No. 28 pick that the Cavaliers used to trade for Gerald Wallace has been directly returned.

If the Cavaliers want more draft picks, in order to get Chen Xiao, Jordan is of course willing, but Jordan and the Bobcats are willing to send them, but the Cavaliers are not willing to ask for them.

The Cavaliers need to deal with a lot of players to renew this offseason. Although the team's investment can be expanded after winning the championship, the salary pressure is still very large. The first-round contract is not low.

Moreover, with so many draft picks in one session, it is not necessary for the Cavaliers that have been rebuilt.

One high and one low are just right.

The rest can be regarded as Chen Xiao’s start-up funds for the Bobcats.

Therefore, Jordan's No. 1 pick and No. 28 pick are indeed very good bargaining chips in line with the Cavaliers' hearts. The Cavaliers agreed without thinking about it.

The Bobcats sent the top pick for Chen Xiao.

This incident is quite embarrassing for those high-ranking predictive draft picks that came to Charlotte.

Now the No. 1 pick is in the hands of the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers don't want this No. 1 pick, so for Gerald Green's favorites of the day, now they don't know who they will end up with.

You can't advance or retreat. I feel like I've been training for such a long time here is a waste of time.

Which one of them didn't push a lot of teams for the Bobcats' trial training?

Now, it's all in vain.

Therefore, Chen Xiao joining the Bobcats not only changed the NBA pattern, but the head of the NCAA has come out to shout, and even the pattern of this year's draft has changed.

The Bobcats traded the No. 1 pick and the 28th pick of the seven draft picks this year. It has a big impact on Gerald Green and Bogut, but it has little impact on other rookies.

Even because Chen Xiao joined the Bobcats, the Bobcats became more attractive to them, and they became even harder.

However, in the draft, everyone is staring at the hottest rookies.

Like the other rookies, no matter how hard they work, they will never be seen.

When the Bobcats training camp, Bogut, Deron Williams, Marvin Williams, and Gerald Green are all in depression, the entire training camp will give people a sense of depression.

If this is the case, then this Bobcats training camp will have nothing to watch.

but!

The news that Wonder Boy Chen Xiao will inspect this year's Bobcats rookie training camp before the draft, still makes the entire Bobcats training camp boiling.

To be honest, Chen Xiao now represents attention.

As long as you can perform in front of Chen Xiao, you can immediately be known to the entire United States and the entire NBA.

Under such circumstances, even if you don't know where the No. 1 pick will be traded by the Cavaliers, it doesn't matter. As long as you have an outstanding and eye-catching performance in front of Chen Xiao, that is the best trial!

Therefore, after the Bobcats and the Cavaliers completed the transaction, the four fascinated children of this year began to enthusiastically look forward to the arrival of Chen Xiao.

Ready to step on Chen Xiao as the pedal.

When Jordan was in full swing, there were still rookies who wanted to step on Jordan's position, so don't underestimate the ambition of these young talents.

For example, this year there was a crazy life who underestimated Duncan.

Now he is eager to beat Chen Xiao's superiors.

Of course, Chen Xiao, who was accompanied by Jordan and Bobcats boss Robert Johnson at this time, naturally didn't know this.

Chen Xiao is now accompanied by Jordan and Johnson on the way to the Bobcats training camp.

After Chen Xiao came to Charlotte, he started working non-stop.

Just like what he said in his departure statement, there is no celebration, no rest, and the end is the beginning.

For Chen Xiao, this draft can determine whether his future job with the Bobcats is difficult or easy.

What's more, although the Bobcats are missing two first-round draft picks, they still have five first-round draft picks, five second-round draft picks, and ten draft picks.

Enough for Chen Xiao to smoke.

The entire United States knows that Jordan is a gambler, and Chen Xiao is actually so in the draft.

In the past two years in the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao's draft is basically not too successful but not too failed.

Because Chen Xiao can see the rookie's abilities, but can't see the rookie's potential, this basically guarantees that the rookies selected by Chen Xiao can guarantee a certain lower limit and upper limit. It really depends on gambling.

However, Chen Xiao is still very optimistic about the Bobcats' draft work.

In the Cavaliers, he is the only opinion of the team's draft, he decides it is good, no one can give him a check, and no one dares to give him a check.

But the Bobcats are different. The Bobcats have an NBA-recognized eye, and they are very good at picking that kind of genius general manager with a very high ceiling, Michael Jordan!

Therefore, leave the upper limit to Jordan and the lower limit to him.

What does this mean?

The meaning is very simple, the high draft picks can be handed over to Jordan.

Chen Xiao is responsible for picking up the low draft picks.

For example, around 20 or later, picking a rookie with a B- or C+ ability is actually not that disadvantaged.

But if you use the No. 9 pick or a pick on the fringe of the lottery to pick a rookie with a certain ability but no potential, you will be a bit disadvantaged.

Therefore, when Jordan had great respect for him and asked him to decide the draft candidate, Chen Xiao was very gracious to give the Bobcats the ninth, sixteenth and eighteenth picks to Jordan to select.

Chen Xiao himself is responsible for the first and second rounds.

For Chen Xiao's request, it is of course impossible for Jordan to refuse.

As a gambler, I really have to hand over all the picks to Chen Xiao to decide. Jordan is willing, but he can't do it.

Now is the time when his self-confidence is bursting.

"Chen, with regard to this year's rookies, you just finished the finals and haven't had time to know enough. Our scouts have sorted out some good rookies this year. You can get familiar with them first."

Jordan, who was walking next to Chen Xiao, said with a smile when he handed over a document to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took it and looked down. Good guys, the NBA's sacred eyes are indeed sacred eyes, and they have already selected the key points according to their positions.

For example, the position of the center, Jordan picked Bogut, Channing Frye, John Petro, the fourth place, Andre Blatche, the fifth place Andrew Bynum.

Bogut, Chen Xiao, has long heard of it.

Standing 7 feet 1 inch (2 meters 16) and weighing 245 pounds, Bogut averaged 20.4 points and 12.2 rebounds per game in his sophomore year at the University of Utah. The data is claimed to be better than Duncan.

Finally this season won the title of "National College Player of the Year".

In the eyes of many experts, Bogut will become the "No. 1 pick" this year.

And this guy not only succeeded in the NCAA, in the 2004 Greece Olympics, he also performed very well, averaging 14.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

This is still not easy.

According to the evaluation of Jordan and the Bobcats scouts, this guy is good. The best center of this class is fine, but he is a bit crazy.

Chen Xiao also heard about his madness.

For example, when a reporter asked him about his goal to enter the NBA, he said something like: "Goal to enter the NBA? Have you asked Tim Duncan something like this before? Have you asked Shaq O'Neal something like this? You ask. Have you ever said something like Michael Jordan? These words are all asked to rookies like Wonder Boy, Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant. I am not disrespectful to them. When I was a rookie, I was different from them. , Before entering the NBA, I have made all the preparations. When I enter the NBA, I will be stronger and stronger than I am now. I don’t have any goals. The goal of becoming an All-Star is in Insult me. I know I will do much better than this, and I can’t wait to show myself to the audience."

Good guy, what this said is reasonable. Even the American reporters who wanted to make trouble were shocked. How long have you not seen such a crazy rookie?

Looking at Chen Xiao, Kobe and Garnett are as super giants as dung.

Although the prospects of the three people when they entered the NBA were not as far-reaching as Bogut, it is enough to know what they are, there is no need to say it.

Do you know the status of these three in the NBA?

These three, except for Kobe, the other two are all MVPs!

Therefore, many people say that even if Bogut entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick, if he didn't boast of his own strength, he would be surrounded and killed by all parties.

It's nothing to offend Chen Xiao and Kobe, you dare to Diss, your confidant big brother Garnett?

It would be unbearable.

Do you know that NBA young insider Jiucheng is a fan of Garnett?

Garnett would not have the same knowledge as Bogut, but Kwame Brown and others are not.

Bogut successfully opened the **** difficulty for himself.

Chen Xiao was very curious about this rookie who opened up the difficulty of **** for himself.

Generally, it is difficult for people with no strength to do such arrogant things, unless they are brain disabled.

Either brain damage, or really super strength.

Either way, Chen Xiao was curious.

Because Bogut, the big-mouthed celebrity in American basketball, Chen Xiao looked more at the center.

Compared with Bogut, some of the other four centers circled by Jordan look ordinary.

The second-placed Channing-Fryer, 7 feet, has mature strength, excellent technique, has a pair of long arms, is a good shot blocker, and has super running ability.

The third place is John Petro, 7 feet. The 19-year-old Frenchman now has a weight of 260 pounds and is very resistant. Maybe he can grow taller, but his "footwork" needs to be improved.

Andre Blatche, 6 feet 11 inches, has a strong impact, but he needs to learn to avoid the opponent's blocks.

The fifth place Bogut, a 17-year-old high school student of 2.13 meters, is very talented, but he is too tender and it takes time to grow up.

These are the evaluations of the Bobcats scouts led by Jordan.

Among them, Jordan valued Blatche, because the reason is marked after the red letter, which is a bit like black Larry Bird.

In addition to the center position, in the power forward position, Jordan also picked five players.

In the first place is Spain's Fran Vazquez, who is 6 feet 11 inches tall. He can drive the atmosphere of the stadium every game and is good at blocking shots, but he needs to "gain fat."

Ranked second is Villanueva of the University of Connecticut. This person, Jordan marked NO, doesn’t like it. The reason is that he was absent from training because he went to the scout trial and was suspended by the NCAA and lacked discipline. Sexual, selfish, not a team player.

The third place is Sean May, a sophomore from North Carolina. Jordan is followed by two words, "Hero", and a few more words are the heroes of Larry Bird like the exquisite style of the game!

For his junior brother, it can be seen that Jordan is really in love. If the Bobcats' No. 1 pick is not lost, Chen Xiao even feels that from this evaluation, Jordan will use the No. 1 pick.

Fourth place, Chris Tuft, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, is a typical power forward, but needs to improve his dribbling skills.

Fifth place, Ek Diogu, 6 feet 8 inches tall, a junior from Arizona State University, the most dominant student in the past few years, but lacks the support of good teammates, has excellent position grabbing ability, but outstanding His scoring ability is not fully utilized.

It can be seen from this that Jordan is ranked according to strength, but instead of selecting the five strongest players in the top five, there are players in each interval.

These five players are the best choices in the five zones.

In the small forward position, ranked first is Jordan's younger brother, Marvin Williams, the first of the four North Carolina juniors.

Williams is a "magic kid-like" small forward who can score from the perimeter and organize offenses. He can run to respond and rebound.

Chen Xiao saw Jordan's evaluation of Marvin Williams and felt that if Jordan was given the top pick, Marvin Williams should be able to overpower Shawn May.

The love for Marvin Williams is simply on paper.

Behind Williams is Gerald Green, 6 feet 8 inches, amazing speed, super sportsman, playing style like McGrady, with the ability to score in chaos and the ability to end games, the nation's first high school pregnancy.

Third, Danny Granger, 6 feet 8 inches, is the most comprehensive of all rookies. He is excellent offensive and defensive, and understands the meaning of fighting, much like Larry Bird!

Good guy, another rookie who was circled by Jordan with a red dot, and another rookie who made Chen Xiao feel that Jordan's love for him was on paper.

Fourth place, Hakim Walik, 6 feet 8 inches, this very individual kid really excites the scouts. Walik is always believable when he is at the basket, and his long arms also make the scouts feel good. He has an advantage on defense, Pippen.

Fifth place, Joey Graham, 6 feet 6 inches, he has the potential to become the best perimeter defender in the NBA. He has worked hard and has mastered the essence of one-on-one defense, little Pippen.

Chen Xiao wanted to laugh a little when he saw the last two. The little Pippen and Little Pippen written in red at the back were really disgusting.

If it's not for scouts, you must add these two people, I'm afraid Jordan doesn't want to look at them.

To be honest, Chen Xiao's scout report summary documents have been seen a lot in the Cavaliers, but there is really nothing so interesting.

After only reading three pages, Chen Xiao understood the style of Boss Qiao.

Love Larry Bird, dislike Pippen...

Especially here at the small forward, Chen Xiao really wants to complain.

"Chen, is there a problem?"

"Hey, no problem."

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly and then continued to look down.

However, what surprised Chen Xiao is that Jordan's evaluation of this shooting guard is generally very, very low.

Even from the scout report, Chen Xiao felt that Jordan did not plan to pick a shooting guard among the rookies.

The same problem also appears on point guards, because the Bobcats already have Chris Paul, a friend of Chen Xiao's starter, so the Bobcats' demand for point guards is not high.

First place, Deron Williams, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, is a junior from Illinois. This young man's height and size are in sharp contrast to his amazing speed. A natural breakthrough expert, Williams has a bright future. , A combination of magician and assassin.

Second place, Raymond Felton, 6 feet tall, a North Carolina third-year student, member of the national college championship team, has been the first choice of North Carolina point guards throughout the season and has excellent stealing ability.

In third place, Jarrett Jack, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, is a third-year student from Georgia Tech and a talented guard. Jack is physically fit to play in the NBA and is making steady progress every year.

Fourth place, Knight Robinson, 5 feet 8 inches tall, a junior from Washington, Robinson’s height is shorter than Paul, but he is the most incredible attacking player, and may eventually slip to the No. Second round.

Fifth place ~www.NovelMTL.com~Louis Williams, a 1.85-meter high school student, said that he is like me, I don't think so, I'm not so fluttering, he is not like Jordan, like a fan of Jordan.

"..."

Chen Xiao smiled in her heart when she saw Louis Williams here.

At this moment, the assistant coaches Dell Curry and Chris Paul of the training hall excitedly watched Chen Xiao and Jordan appear at the gate of the training hall.

Just as the two of them and the little Curry next to them, little Curry, and sister Curry were preparing to greet them excitedly, some people stood in front of Chen Xiao first.

"Bogut?!"
