Chapter 87 Popular Rookies (Second Update)

[Sorry, the first update said that the meeting was over five o'clock, and the number of words was not enough. I wanted to post it at that time, but later I didn't have time. The meeting was finished before 7 o'clock. Continue with the second update. Thanks to the book friends who gave the book reviews, and thanks to the book friends who urged the update! With you, Tanhua is very happy!]

When players conduct physical tests, as people watching in the audience, if they do not look at the data, no one can really see who is good or bad. Because sometimes some emotional understanding is often shattered by cold data.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to see the gap between two players on the spot when they touch the high PK on the spot with their naked eyes alone. Only by listing the data together and comparing them can you see the high from a professional perspective.

Just based on the on-site viewing, everyone still pays more attention to some famous rookies and pays more attention to them. Therefore, after the physical test data of several super rookies came out, many scouts and even general managers were eager to know the results.

Glover did not hide his private interests. According to regulations, these results must be announced in order to be open, fair and just. Since the guests came to the scene, they naturally had the right to take a sneak peek.

In the VIP seat, Pat Riley received a simple physical test report. Of course, the players on it were all the players who have made a big splash recently, namely the lottery players predicted by the media.

Bird Bird and Jordan, the flying man, were not seen, and they crossed their heads on the left and right, and watched Riley's data together.

"Michael, the quality of the defenders this year is good, you can buy one!" Bird Bird said to Jordan with malicious intentions. Now everyone on earth knows that the main defender of the Bobcats' main organization has been a foregone conclusion to leave at the end of the season, and Jordan is worried about it.

Jordan smiled and said, "Yeah, John Wall and Evan Turner are definitely two good seedlings. However, the Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers may not sell them."

After a pause, Jordan said seriously: "Of course, if Isaiah Thomas is their general manager, we still have a chance."

Big Bird Bird and Pat Riley couldn't help laughing.

Riley smiled and pointed at Jordan and said, "Michael, a petite little girl like you, I really don't know how you become the greatest star!"

Jordan shrugged indifferently, and whistled, "Who knows? But I really hope that little man can be the general manager of those two teams!"

The Isaiah Thomas Jordan is naturally the leader of the Pistons Bad Boy Legion - "Smiling Assassin" Thomas. Although he is not tall, Thomas led a group of unruly players of the Pistons back then and created the glory of the Pistons.

The personal grudge between Jordan and Thomas can be traced back to the All-Star Game in the 1985-1986 season, and the cause of the incident was the "freeze" incident against Jordan.

An unpleasant episode happened between the two people at that time. The young Jordan did not say hello to Issel Thomas in the elevator. According to Jordan afterwards, the reason was that there were many big-name players in the elevator, and he didn't want to show too confidence, so he didn't say a word.

But Thomas thought Jordan looked down on him. As a long-standing senior, he was despised by a newcomer. Thomas felt that he would give Jordan a little color. He joined forces with George Gervin and several other players and decided to try to embarrass Jordan.

In the following period, these players did not talk to Jordan, and deliberately did not pass the ball to him during the game. Jordan felt puzzled. As the best rookie candidate of the season, Jordan of the Eastern Conference Stars only played for 22 minutes and scored only 7 points.

When Jordan returned to Chicago, a good reporter told Jordan about the cause and effect of the incident. In response, the angry Jordan scored 49 points per person in a regular season against the Pistons two days later, setting a record for the highest score of a rookie in a team history. He also grabbed 15 rebounds and intercepted a single second.

The opponent's ball shot that could tie the score was shot and led the Bulls to defeat the Detroit Pistons led by Isiah Thomalez.

Since then, the two of them have formed a gangster. According to rumors, later, when Jordan established his position as a superstar in the NBA, he also retaliated for tooth. For the first time in the 1992 Summer Olympics, NBA players were able to participate. The American Basketball Association hoped to be the most famous NBA player at that time. Jordan was at its peak and was the first candidate. Without saying a word, he stretched out a finger: I can go, but there is a condition: That guy in Detroit cannot go.

The US Basketball Association was in a difficult situation. Apart from Bird, Johnson and Jordan, Thomas had to be the fourth person, but Jordan's conditions were indisputable. In the end, the US Basketball Association had to bow to Jordan. Thomas also lost a great opportunity to become a member of the first Dream Team.

Perhaps in the players' era, Jordan and Thomas made the relationship between the two sides storm due to the grudges of the game, but in fact, Thomas offended Jordan more because he was the chairman of the Players' Union. The salary of superstars in the late 1980s and early 1990s rose very quickly, but in contrast, the salary of middle and lower-level players was greatly compressed. As the chairman of the Players' Union, Thomas advocated increasing the average salary of players, but the requirements of the investors were: the overall salary level of players can be increased, but the maximum salary limit must be set. The limit on the maximum salary touched the interests of a group of superstars led by Jordan. The conflict between Thomas, who represents the interests of the middle and lower-level players and Jordan, who represents the top superstar, on this issue is actually the core of the tension between the two people.

In fact, when Jordan retired for the third time in 2003, the head coach of the Eastern Conference Stars was Thomas. He did not limit Jordan's playing time at all this time, so Jordan was able to do his best in his last All-Star Game. After the game, Jordan and Thomas hugged and smiled to eliminate their grudges. The two *** Lakes, who were already well versed in the world, finally came to an end to the conflict that many years ago.

But for Jordan, he was still willing to seize every opportunity to ridicule Thomas. Because when Thomas was the head coach of the New York Knicks, he made many stupid transactions, which made New York sign many bad contracts. At that time, a joke was circulated among many managers in the league, that is: If you have players who can't be given away, go find Thomas!

Larry Bird understood what Jordan meant, but he didn't want Jordan to feel comfortable, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Actually, the high school No. 1 Brown you chose back then and the Tetras Morrison can all serve as the cornerstone of the Bobcats' team building."

Bird is just the one who doesn't open the pot. When Jordan was in charge of the Wizards and the Bobcats, he chose these two players, which ended up being a joke. Many people lamented that Jordan's vision was a world of difference compared to his basketball skills.

Jordan retorted: "Speaking of this, that Morrison was called Bird's second, so I chose him. It seems that the players who have something to do with you are not very good. In addition, Larry, you should be planning to choose your player. Why can't your team even enter the playoffs?"

Bird was speechless and every family had a difficult scripture. In recent seasons, the Indiana Pacers have been on a downward trend. Since Reggie Miller retired, Jermaine O'Neal was unable to support the team, and Artest was also banned for a long time due to the Auburn Mountain fight. Later, both of them were traded out of the team. Now they are led by a young first-tier star Granger, which has been difficult to achieve.

Bird is also anxious. The team draws the No. 10 draw this year. If they are lucky, they may still choose a good player at this pick, after all, it is the lottery zone.

But after he came over, he found that Paul George, who had been paying the most attention to, did not participate in the physical test. Bird had no choice but to observe other players.

Jordan had the upper hand in words and looked at this physical test data table seriously.

Among them, John Wall's data is:

The height of the run-up was 30 inches, the height of the run-up was 39 inches, the bench press was not participated, the bottom line was 10.8 seconds, and the 3/4 sprint was 3.1 seconds!

Judging from these data, Wall's bounce is amazing and his speed is superb, and he is worthy of being the biggest favorite in the No. 1 pick.

Evan Turner's data is: 27.5 inches in the spot, 34.5 inches in the run-up, 9 bench presses, 185 pounds in the bench line, 11 seconds of running back, and 3.3 seconds of 3/4 sprints. Compared to Wall's physical fitness, there should be a certain gap. But it is also very good, and this player's style is relatively comprehensive, and he can be called an instant player. He can be used as a player. There are still many teams who like it.

Another popular player, Derek Ferworth, is: touching 31.5 inches in height on the spot; touching 35.5 inches in height on the run; 185 pounds of bench press; 14 pounds of bottom line; 11.73 seconds of running back; 3/4 sprints are 3 seconds. As a big man, he is powerful but flexible, which is really coveted.

At least Pat Riley really wants this player. The Hots have a salary space this year and want to do something big in the free market. But the team leader Dwyane Wade is flirting with the Bulls. Riley is also worried. Even if Wade stays, the team's inside line is still very weak. He really hopes to find a potential inside rookie.

However, DeMarcus Cousins, another player who was widely favored before training camp, had a very average result. He was 23.5 inches tall in the spot; 27.5 inches in the run-up; he did not participate in the bench press; the bottom line reversal was 11.43 seconds, and the 3/4 sprint was 5 seconds. This result can only be said to be mediocre for the players.

Jordan looked at the data sheet and found that Jiang Jun's name frowned.

"Is that Chinese boy very bad?"
