Chapter 568 [Yesterday Reappears]
Who is Greg Oden? Before joining NBA, this name has been heard all over the United States.`
He is known as "the most important high school player in 25 years", considered "Jabbar, O'Neal's most qualified successor", and is entrusted with high hopes of "the Indiana High School player who achieves Oscar Robinson".
For NBA fans, the introduction about Oden is simpler: when Oden participates in the draft, he will be the No. 1 pick in that year.
If it weren't for the NBA's adjustment of the draft to 19 years old, Oden would have been the No. 1 pick in the summer of 2016. Now, he has to "play" in college for a year. In his last season in high school, he averaged 22 points, 105 rebounds and 10 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 74%.
James' nickname is just "Little Emperor", like the king of a small country. Oden's nickname is "The Great Emperor", and he feels like Napoleon, Genghis Khan, and Caesar.
He is 213cm tall, weighs 113 kilograms, is strong, has excellent arm spread, and is very rare in the inside line. He can participate in fast attacks immediately after blocking. He has no opponents among his peers and will definitely be able to adapt to the NBA rhythm.
He can resist people on the defensive end, fill up blocks, and is good at rebounding. His strength is terrifying. He doesn't even need any skills to score, and he can do it with just a single turn and throw.
Such a genius, as long as he practices his CST in the future, he will definitely dominate the inside. Howard, Stadameer and others are all over the world.
The NBA's draft system destined that most of the geniuses were selected by bad teams last season. Like James, he went to the Cavaliers as soon as he entered the league.
Although the fans didn't think it was like this, the NBA executives seemed to be a complete tragedy and was not in line with the interests of the league and the star-making plan.
To create stars, it depends on the geographical location.
To give the simplest example, how much worse is Michael Reed compared to Dwyane Wade last season? Depending on fame, Reed is a second-rate star compared to Wade.
In fact, Reed has a very obvious role on the court, 198cm tall and 1oo kilograms of weight. He does not suffer any loss in defense against each other, and his defense is above the level. His shooting is accurate and his scoring data is similar. Three-pointers are much more accurate than Wade, who can open up space, break through, shoot and singles. The only thing criticized is that his organizational ability is slightly inferior.
Not famous, it is largely because the league does not praise Reed and does not praise Bucks.
Milwaukee is a recognized bad place, only slightly better than Cleveland. The same situation was born in Robinson, Ray Allen, and Cassel back then.
League officials really want young players to be promoted to go to a big city.
Therefore, in 1996, the magical situation where Kobe was highly stunning and was dropped to 13th place was useless if he chose in advance. Kobe said that he would not report it.
In 1999, second-tier Frances refused to report to the Grizzlies and demanded to be traded.
Without the alliance boss to boost the fire, can two young rookies be so arrogant?
If possible, the league will never want talented rookies to be selected by cities like Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Memphis.`
The president naturally doesn't want the genius center to join the Trail Blazers next summer. How long will it take to fight in a rebuilding bad team to make a comeback? What height can you reach in the end?
Thankfully, small city teams can win a championship. If you are in a good team, using the "Star Creation Sports" may create a perfect career for them.
Jordan's career is not perfect, his character is problematic, he is proficient in eating, drinking, gamblers, and gambling. He was abused before the age of 28. He retired once after three consecutive championships, retired again in 1998. The Wizards returned to the playoffs and fell from the altar twice.
The Alliance hopes that an American with both good character and academic performance will become a superstar and dominate the Alliance.
Fortunately, the draft pick is not with the Knicks. The Knicks have been bad this season, and the lineup is full of garbage contracts and no defense. It is lucky that the thorns in the locker room do not play. Even if they are not the last in the regular season, they will definitely be the top three.
The news has previously mentioned that Francis had a quarrel with Nate Robinson in the locker room, and both of them were not satisfied with the ball.
Curry didn't defend, he only knew how to score points. His weight caused dissatisfaction with the coaching staff.
Many fans scold the Knicks for enjoying their home court. In this environment, it is definitely a tragedy for the No. 1 pick. Even the best defensive player cannot make up for the Knicks' defensive loopholes.
Clark lamented: "It is most suitable to join the Bulls. As soon as Oden enters the league, he has a good environment. An excellent star takes him to grow under pressure. Help him create opportunities and develop his feel and confidence. As long as the Bulls don't have any mentally retarded trades and maintain the lineup activity, Oden may have 3 or 4 championship rings in his hand and a member of the dynasty team when he is 28 years old."
Stern smiled slightly and continued: "At that time, Wang Jun was already over 30 years old. He is an Asian, and his condition may decline very quickly. In terms of contract, there can only be one of them."
Clark said proudly: "Wang Jun has a ring and MVP, so he will definitely not be willing to cut his salary when he can get the last big contract. At that time, the media can promote him as a star who is insatiable and wants more money. He can get a high salary when he goes to a bad team. If he signs first and then exchanges, he can also exchange the Bulls for several potential players to assist Oden, who has entered his peak period."
Stern nodded with satisfaction. "If it were such a story, it sounded good."
Clark sat on the sand, crossing his legs and said lightly: "A Chinese player is old and out of date. What he plays in a bad team? Whether he can lead the team into the playoffs is not our business. The Chinese cannot be Jordan's successor."
In the United States, racial discrimination will never disappear. In the territory of Americans, they certainly do not want outsiders to be the masters of their own country.
Stern asked the others. "How do you guys feel?"
Everyone expressed no objection and the plan was feasible. This kind of thing was not the first time that the alliance had done, and it was born once two years ago.
Someone has been highly praised since entering the league. Under the protection of superstars, he has made a crazily iron-kick and has mastered three rings, and then squeezed his elder brother away. Isn’t this the story of O’Neal and Kobe?
The two were once close. When they won the championship for the first time, O'Neal left the court with Kobe on his back, and his expression was as happy as Zhu Bajie carrying his wife.
Later, the two had a disagreement in a small matter. How did the alliance do it? They hyped up the conflicts between the two and supported them to swear each other on the news, and the spark finally set off a prairie fire.
O'Neal left, and exchanged two potential players for the Lakers, a veteran inside player who is about to expire, and the Lakers will definitely not lose.
But the league cannot improve Kobe's ability to lead the team. The Lakers did not show the trident they imagined, but instead became a piece of flicker and were eliminated in the regular season. Except for the Lakers becoming weak, everything is under the control of Stern.
Now that Kobe has firmly taken the position of the Lakers boss, O'Neal is not so disgusted with him, and faced the breakup that year calmly because he figured out how things happened.
Kobe's personality O'Neal doesn't like, but the two of them are in the final analysis, both of them are pawns and money trees in the league. The key is the mastermind.
As long as the big guys behind the scenes like it, relying on brainwashing publicity, junk can also be said to be gold.
After repeated exploitation of the real gold, they will sooner or later be refined.
