Chapter 139 The Renaissance from Washington The Wizards put together the last piece of the puzzle
Earl was very dedicated to what Jiang Dalin told him.
How to say...
His general manager is actually similar to Scott. They are just decorations. The whole team is under the control of Michael Jordan to do whatever he wants, and Jordan was puaded by Jiang Dalin. In addition, the inheritance mentioned in the documentary, the Wizards in the new season
Is it necessary to say who the actual person in power is?
General Manager Earl felt that he had to let Jiang Dalin see his abilities.
After all, he is different from Scott. Scott hangs out in front of Jiang Dalin all day long, and there is hard work without credit. He looks familiar without hard work!
And there are many opportunities to be interviewed. Jiang Dalin was given a 540-degree lick in all aspects, which was so comfortable.
Compared to him, Earl finally got a chance to prove himself in front of Jiang Dalin!
In fact, he regrets it quite a bit. If you said that if he had chosen Jiang Dalin alone in last year's draft, how high would his status in the management be now?
He was really optimistic about Jiang Dalin at that time!
It can only be said that as a general manager, his courage is not that good...
Forget it, there is no use thinking about these things here now!
Earl didn't think much more about it.
Once he failed to seize the opportunity to become a "dog licker", this time, he will definitely become a qualified "dog leg".
In fact, it was quite difficult to trade draft picks in 2002, because everyone knows that this year is a weak year for the draft, and even after the No. 10 pick in the first round, there are no potential stocks worth talking about.
Therefore, the later lots are worth less than 10,000 US dollars.
Regardless of the difference between the 26th pick in the first round and the 20th pick in the first round, there is only a difference of 6 picks, but in this year's draft, there is a very big difference. After all, this year from the 11th pick in the first round to the 20th pick,
The pick is already on Taobao, can your 26th pick still be considered a lottery pick?
But now, he had no choice but to try calling one by one.
As soon as the Raptors general manager heard that Earl wanted to trade the 20th pick in the first round, he immediately opened the list of the Wizards' recent workouts to see who they had tried out.
Need to trade upward.
Could it be that some kind of "treasure boy" has been discovered?
Unfortunately, after looking around, I didn't find anything special among the people they tried out.
After thinking about it, he said to the general manager of the Wizards: "Well, if you are willing to exchange the first round pick of the Wizards next year with me, I can agree!"
"this……"
Earl was a little reluctant.
Although the current lineup of the Wizards already means that their record in the new season will not be bad, but what year is 2003? "The year of the draft", it is said that the quality is comparable to the "96" golden generation.
Even the 30th pick in the first round this year is better than the 15th pick in the first round this year!
Tell me, how could he readily agree?
In the end, he chose to ask other general managers.
If there is really no other way, you can only agree.
The general manager of the Jazz called Earl at this time: "Wow, man, you made such a big noise for me without saying a word!"
Although he hadn't said anything yet, Earl couldn't help scratching his cheek because he had learned from Michael Jordan that Karl Malone might be coming.
The "Utah Twins" in Salt Lake City have disintegrated. Isn't this a big news for the general manager of the Jazz?
"Man, we can buy out Karl Malone's contract. After all, he dedicated his entire youth to Salt Lake City... But at least, we have to make a deal to compensate me, right?"
This tone was not forceful. It was full of discussion.
But Earl knows very well that this does not mean that the Jazz general manager is at a disadvantage. Because he could not buy out Karl Malone's contract and let him continue to play for the Jazz through next season...
The reason for calling me is probably because I want to discuss a result that everyone can accept.
Earl thought of the Jazz's pick at that time: "If I remember correctly, the Jazz should pick the 19th pick in the first round this year, right?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Well, how about I take next year's Wizards' first-round pick and this year's second-round pick, and exchange them with you for this year's 19th pick?"
He is really reluctant to exchange his first-round pick for next year's first-round pick for this year's first-round pick, but if it can lead to Karl Malone joining the Wizards, then the exchange is worth it...
It just so happens to be an explanation to the general manager of the Jazz!
The latter is immediately satisfied.
Again, Karl Malone has dedicated his whole life to Salt Lake City. When he wants to leave the Jazz and spend his remaining time pursuing a championship, the entire Salt Lake City will understand.
Originally, the general manager of the Jazz just called to complain and wanted some compensation. This was a temporary idea. Unexpectedly, he could exchange this year's draft pick for next year's draft pick.
That's a "big draft year" draft pick.
Even the 29th pick in the first round is better than the 19th pick in this year's first round. This is something that is recognized in the industry.
And because Karl Malone suddenly wants to seek a buyout, the Jazz's original idea of using the 19th pick in the first round to select an immediate player has no meaning.
The draft was coming soon, and he really didn't know who to replace with this pick.
Now it's okay, no need to think about it, leaving the worries of happiness to next summer.
The Jazz general manager hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Looking at the unexpected first-round signing deal, Earl suddenly felt that his ability was a little too strong!
When Jiang Dalin learned the news, he also praised with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work, buddy..." Although he paid for the first-round pick in 2003, in his case, the 19th overall pick in the first round of 2002
, the value is higher than the pick in 2003.
Who gave him...the "eye of heaven"?
However, the night before the draft, Michael Jordan brought bad news to Jiang Dalin: "Gary Payton can't come. The general manager of the SuperSonics insists on using him for an All-Star. He said that unless we hand over Hamilton, he will
Only then was he willing to send Gary Payton to Washington..."
"Damn it!"
Gary Payton can be said to be an important part of this year's signings and reinforcements.
The Wizards are already weak at the number one position, and they need him to make up for it.
Moreover, his experience and ability can indeed improve the Wizards' defensive and organizational capabilities at the first position.
In Michael Jordan's view, it is difficult to find any number one position that is more suitable for the current Wizards than Gary Payton.
Jiang Dalin didn't have any surprises.
In this alliance, among general managers, it’s fine if they don’t cheat you, but you still want me to give you timely help and icing on the cake? Are you thinking nonsense?
To be honest, if Karl Malone hadn't played for Salt Lake City for seventeen or eight years, worked hard and was old enough, the general manager of the Jazz would not be so easy to talk to.
In his eyes, the 39-year-old Karl Malone can no longer win a championship for the team.
At this time, his salary of nearly 20 million seemed a bit too high.
Just because Karl Malone's contribution is here, it's hard for him to say anything. And based on the name Karl Malone, it is not impossible to give him a pension contract of 10,000 yuan a year or 20,000 yuan.
But...
If he insists on a buyout, as far as the Jazz general manager is concerned, he will definitely be snickering in shock.
So it makes sense to agree.
Gary Payton is different. He is only 34 years old now. Most of the No. 1 players get better as they get older. Due to the attributes of this position, Gary Payton can maintain his status for at least two years!
It would be a shame to give it away for nothing...
And the Wizards can't provide the players the Sonics want.
Sending out Hamilton?
This is because the general manager of the SuperSonics is out of his mind and mistaking the Wizards for being fooled by Billie King!
However, now that it has become this situation, Jiang Dalin is a little glad that he let Earl trade up early. Because in this way, he can better arrange the helpers around him next season!
Although I feel a little sorry for his good brother...
But Hamilton had already turned into the "Mask Man" in advance in Washington.
The "Five Pistons" are destined to be impossible to achieve.
It would be great if such a good lineup just fell apart like this!
Since I got the "Four Dragon Balls" first, let me summon the dragon!
On June 25th, the 2002 draft arrived. Although the quality of the rookies this year was not good, the night of the draft was still the same as before, with all kinds of lights flashing, witnessing another group of talented players who "jumped over the dragon gate"...
…
Without any accident, Yao Ming still became the final number one pick. He also became the first number one pick who did not come to the scene.
Looking at David Stern's cheerful look, Jiang Dalin knew that his pupils had turned into the shape of a sword.
This little Jewish old man has obviously realized that an era of rapid development for the NBA has arrived!
The Wizards finally selected Tayshaun Prince with the 19th overall pick in the first round.
The "little prince" of the future Pistons.
But this time, he will become the "little prince" of the Washington Wizards...
Seeing him smiling and shaking hands with David Stern, Jiang Dalin also breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the Wizards' original 26th pick in the first round... this was an unexpected pick. Originally, Jiang Dalin thought he would trade it out. But now that it still exists, he can only play with the grass and kill the rabbit.
Boozer, who was drafted by the Cavaliers in the second round, took it.
When the two people were selected by the Wizards, their faces were full of surprise. They had never come to Washington for a trial training. Why did the Wizards choose them?
Especially Boozer, he really didn't expect that he would be selected in the first round...
He came to the scene in a hurry later. You can see that his tie was not tied properly, the collar of his shirt was pressed, and some of the legs of his suit trousers were stuffed into his socks. He probably didn't even look in the mirror after wearing them.
Reasonable, somewhat embarrassed.
But the joy on his face really comes from his heart.
There is no guarantee that a second-round pick will get a contract, but a first-round pick will have a fully guaranteed contract of 2 plus 2 or 3 plus 1. This will give him plenty of time to "develop."
The only thing that worries him is whether he will have a chance to play with the Wizards in the new season...
Jiang Dalin and Haywood have already taken up the starting spots, and the competition for substitute spots is probably very fierce...
Never mind!
Give your best when the time comes and you will earn the opportunity yourself!
There are also parallel imports among the No. 1 picks, and there are also those who break out of the siege at the end of the first round!
Boozer is very confident in himself. What is the strength of China's number one pick and Haywood? Who knows what the result will be if they have never encountered them before!
If it doesn't work, he can beat these two people like dogs!
The 22-year-old Boozer is very confident in his immediate ability and full of daydreams about the future.
Then they all received a call from General Manager Earl, asking them to report to Washington early and sign their rookie contracts.
At the same time as "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" airs, free agency also arrives on July 1.
“After two years away from home, I returned to Washington, Richmond: This was once my home, and I’m very happy to be back here again!”
That morning, news first came from Washington that Richmond had returned to the Wizards.
But this news didn't cause any commotion.
After all, although the name Richmond was still well-known in the 1990s, there have been fewer and fewer reports about him since he left the Kings.
He is no longer a star player.
This time he returned to the Wizards, the first reaction from the outside world was that he wanted to hug him.
That's normal, doesn't it mean that he left the Wizards just to win the championship?
Now that the Wizards have won the championship, they are the team closest to the championship. Going back is expected.
"Charles Barkley, who recently announced his comeback, signed a basic salary of 1.03 million with the Wizards. In the new season, he will become teammates with the number one pick in China!"
Immediately afterwards, news came out that Charles Barkley announced his comeback and also joined the Wizards.
Hey, Barkley teamed up with Jordan, this is kind of interesting!
But can Barkley still play ball now?
If I remember correctly, he has already retired for 2 years, right?
And he is already 39 years old this year!
I guess I came here to hug my thighs and want to win a championship before retiring...
This news has triggered memories among Suns fans...
The "Jazz" led them to the Finals for the only time in the 1990s, which was the best decade for Phoenix Suns fans.
The media in Phoenix also specially blessed the veteran.
But when Barkley and Michael Jordan teamed up, it didn't attract much attention.
"The Wizards announced the signing of Charles Oakley with a basic salary of 1.03 million, and Michael Jordan's bodyguard has returned to him!"
After Barkley, Oakley also announced that he had joined the Wizards.
Compared with the previous two transactions, this transaction was within everyone's expectations.
Because from the beginning of the new season to the end of last season, Oakley has been talking about Michael Jordan and Jiang Dalin. Everyone can see that Oakley is a typical "body in Chicago, heart in Washington" and does not continue to follow Chicago.
Come to Washington, D.C., it’s so normal!
"Olajuwon jumped out of the Raptors contract and joined Washington with a minimum salary. He will join forces with Jiang Dalin in the new season. Dream: This is a great newcomer. If I can become teammates with him at this stage, I think it will be very interesting.
thing!"
"The former patron saint of New York joins the Wizards to fight for another year for a championship ring!"
But after this deal, the Wizards did not stop, and soon officially announced the joining of Dameng and Ewing.
Richmond!
Charles Barkley!
Charles Oakley!
Ewing!
Olajuwon!
…
When these names, which were once familiar to fans but are now almost forgotten, were spread again, no one thought that it would be under such circumstances!
"This is a Friends game that belongs to the players of the 1980s! No matter who took the lead, I just want to say, well done!" Bill Walton expressed his opinion immediately.
His words were also echoed by his partner Drexler.
"To be honest, when I saw these names becoming teammates, my first thought was, this is so cool. Since I retired, I have never thought about returning to the court, but at this moment
, I would like to say that I have an urge to come back because I really want to participate in this party that belongs to the elderly!"
The times are passed down from generation to generation. The "post-80s" who once shined in the 1990s have now withdrawn from the most dazzling place in the league.
Standing there were the "post-90s" generation. They showed off their talents wantonly, making the fans gradually forget the familiar names one after another.
Drexler has been asked more than once, "Are you as good as Ray Allen? Are you as good as Tracy McGrady? Are you as good as Kobe..."
He never thought that in just five years, so many people would not know the story about the "Glider"...
And this series of signings, which Bill Walton calls "Friends", has not stopped yet.
The free market, which had already caused a stir, exploded again at 1 p.m. First, news came from Salt Lake City that the Jazz had bought out Karl Malone's contract for the 2002-03 season, but before the news came out from those teams that were aiming to win the championship,
The general manager was ecstatic, and another news about Karl Malone came out:
"Karl Malone signed with the Wizards with a basic salary of 1.03 million, and the postman teamed up with Michael Jordan to protect Jiang Dalin!"
Another "post-80s" superstar joins the Wizards.
And this one is even more heavyweight!
Compared with the previous players in terms of strength, there is some gap with the first-line players in the NBA, but Karl Malone is still the league's first-class power forward.
In last year's playoffs, he could still compete with the league's best player for 300 rounds, and almost eliminated the latter.
At this time, news came out that he had joined the Wizards...
It was like an atomic bomb exploded directly, causing everyone's brains to buzz.
Los Angeles.
When he first heard that the Wizards had re-signed Richmond, Shaquille O'Neal laughed disdainfully.
That's it?
When he heard that Barkley had also joined the Wizards, Shaquille O'Neal still laughed disdainfully.
That’s it?
Shaquille O'Neal is excited about Barkley's comeback.
It’s time for the one from back then to get a 2.0 version!
The Wizards then announced the signings of Oakley, Olajuwon and Ewing.
Shaquille O'Neal even sent a message directly to Kobe: Hahaha, are the Wizards going to open a nursing home?
Just this, this, this?
"It seems that they are indeed going to Michael Jordan's retirement tour next season..."
Shaquille O'Neal feels that even without reinforcements, they can defeat this "old, weak, sick" team.
You know, Michael Jordan will be 40 years old next year. The gap between 40-year-old Jordan and 25-year-old Kobe is huge!
But in the afternoon, when he heard that Karl Malone had also joined the Wizards, his "that's it, that's that" in the morning suddenly turned into "that's crazy!"
Can these "post-80s" people still have some face?
Just to win a championship, go to the Wizards?
Damn it!
The shark suddenly felt very painful.
The first two don't look threatening because they haven't reached a qualitative change yet. Now Karl Malone has joined the Wizards. Under the premise that he and Jiang Dalin will start together, Olajuwon, Ewing, Barkley and so on.
It became threatening.
After all, these guys should have no problem playing alone for 7 minutes.
If they really take turns to consume like this, and everyone is very experienced...
Just thinking about the "wheel battle" at that time is enough to make people feel numb.
Kobe also called at this time: "What do you mean, is there still a nursing home?"
Shaquille O'Neal was no longer in the mood to joke with Kobe anymore. He said in a serious tone: "Man, we must also supervise. This summer, we must also have better reinforcements!"
These words spoke to Kobe's heart.
He made this call to persuade Shaquille O'Neal to talk to Kupchak. The Wizards' current reinforcements already made the Lakers feel threatened. He did not believe in the Wizards' reinforcements.
It’s over at this point…
Therefore, they must also strengthen more!
No matter what, they are eager to bring this championship back to Los Angeles next summer!
San Antonio quickly reported Popovich’s thoughts on the matter: “I really don’t understand, how could the league just let something like this happen? Washington has already formed a dream team, but they are still looking at this ball.
The team completed this transaction at a cheap price, and I think David Stern can actually write the Wizards’ name on the championship trophy in the new season!”
Reading the whole article, there is only one word "acid"!
If you can’t eat the grapes, you will say the grapes are sour!
And just like them, there are also the New York media who are ridiculing Ewing for not choosing to retire yet and thinking about winning the championship: "In fact, the Wizards are very likely to win the championship because of Ewing.
If he can’t win the championship, he is destined to be a guy without a championship!”
Ewing was hurt when he saw this report. But he increasingly felt that joining the Wizards was the right thing to do.
This is almost two years after he left New York, and the New York media is once again discussing things about him on a large scale. This is the nature and pattern of the New York media.
Not only did he think it was right, Olajuwon also felt it was right. The Houston media also reported on him one after another. The city is recalling the story about the "Big Dream"!
The next morning, the Wizards specially arranged for these veterans to attend the press conference together.
It is worth mentioning that Michael Jordan also attended this press conference. Sitting among these people, he looked at the media in the audience and told some stories during this invitation. Finally, he said: "We
It’s indeed time to leave this alliance, but before that, we old guys want to go crazy again!”
His words caused a huge response after the press conference.
As this group of people gathered together in the Wizards, a wave of "memories" about the NBA in the 1990s hit. "NBA Renaissance" became the main theme of media reports this offseason in addition to transactions.
And as the media in each city talked about the core of the team back then, more and more stories about that era were revealed.
When "Glider" walks on the street, you can clearly feel that his popularity has returned to the past, and all that familiar feeling is back!
What a pity!
It's a pity that he really can't regain his former state now. Otherwise, he will have to come back and join the Wizards crying.
Of course, if Barkley knew that he had the idea of coming back, he would definitely yell: "Don't come over!"
It was this cheater and the cheater "Big Dream" who deceived him back then for his last chance to win the championship!
At the end of the press conference, Jiang Dalin also made a special trip to meet the seniors. Each of these seniors also had caring eyes in their eyes.
Even with some kindness.
Especially Ewing, Barkley and Richmond...
A large part of the reason they came to Washington was for the championship ring.
And for the Wizards to win the championship in the new season, who does it need to say?
It must be Jiang Dalin!
Everyone was naturally very kind to him.
Karl Malone looked at the expressions of these "old immortals" looking at Jiang Dalin, and wanted to give one of them an elbow.
Everyone, please stop, this is my "postman"!
He didn't want these old guys to lead Jiang Dalin astray...
And at the same time...
Ewing's heart: Look at these stocky arms, they are definitely good materials for practicing fighting. My bunny hop is a descendant!
Barkley's inner mind: Look at this big ass. It's definitely a good foundation for practicing back-up shooting. Coupled with his terrifying explosive power, if you practice well, he will definitely be able to catch up with me as a back-to-the-basket threat.
Olajuwon's heart: No matter what, we must teach him his dream footsteps. This is the best publicity for the Dream Training Camp!
Only Oakley secretly pulled Jiang Dalin over: "Jiang, what do you think I do to you?"
"Of course I don't have to say, you taught me all my rebounding skills!"
"That's fine..." Oakley's expression gradually became a bit more vulgar, "Then next time the Kardashian family has a party, you can't forget to bring me with you!"
The first episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" was aired, and it immediately became a hit because it invited the current top stars, including the extravagant parties and the hot figures. It also makes the Kardashian family's party the paradise that every man longs for.
Even an old ticket holder like Oakley, who had eaten and met at the Gold Club, was somewhat helpless and longed for it.
Everyone knows that this variety show was spearheaded by him, and the five Kardashian sisters are also signed under his entertainment company. With this relationship, if he wants to attend the Kardashian family party, it will definitely be a big deal. Something easy.
Jiang Dalin couldn't help but sigh at the Kardashian family's butt, it really has magic power!
"Don't worry, I will definitely take you there if I have the chance!"
"Interesting!" Oakley patted Jiang Dalin's shoulder with satisfaction. At this moment, he decided that he would no longer be Michael Jordan's bodyguard, but become Jiang Dalin's bodyguard instead!
"Are these the two newcomers you chose?"
On the way, they also met Prince and Boozer. They had just signed their rookie contracts and were getting off the elevator. They were slightly stunned when they saw so many big guys.
Michael Jordan looked at the expressions of these two men and suddenly felt that Jiang Dalin's vision was not as good as his own.
The two people responded very quickly and greeted each other again and again.
When Boozer looked at Jiang Dalin, his eyes showed fighting intent unconsciously.
Just wait, I will definitely take your place!
Although Boozer was shocked by this guy's figure when he stood in front of Jiang Dalin. But if the NBA relied entirely on figure, then there should be five sumo wrestlers standing on the field.
In Boozer's opinion, being big doesn't necessarily mean he's easy to use. You have to fight him to find out.
All in all, it’s honey confidence…
However, many NBA players have this kind of self-confidence, and he is not the only one.
"It doesn't look good either!"
After they left, Michael Jordan expressed his first reaction.
Jiang Dalin secretly muttered in his heart: This is why you chose Adam Morrison.
There really is no such thing as a "basketball god" when it comes to vision!
Even if he didn’t know the future, his eyes would be blank, but... who told him to know the future?
"By the way, that bald guy should be a power forward, right? There are already so many insiders in the team, are you sure we need to get another power forward?"
Michael Jordan was pretty accurate at seeing people. Boozer said he was 2.06 meters tall, but he looked about the same as a small forward, but he could tell at a glance that he was an inside player.
"It's okay, there must be a place for him in the Development League!"
To be honest, Jiang Dalin originally had no intention of selecting Boozer, but now that he has the No. 26 pick in the first round, it is better to use it.
He also knows that the Wizards have enough inside in the new season, but...
How could Jiang Dalin turn a blind eye when he knew that this guy would become a future All-Star?
As for whether he can come back after being transferred to the Development League...
This is not something Jiang Dalin worries about anymore.
As an old Rockets fan, for Jiang Dalin, Boozer is undoubtedly the number one enemy. It is also said that Jiang Dalin is not broad-minded enough. Boozer himself also deceived the owner of the Cavaliers.
Maybe Jazz fans will hate him, but Cleveland fans will definitely appreciate him.
Besides, there are quite a few people who have returned from the Development League. Jiang Dalin saw that Boozer was a tough guy, and there was absolutely no way he could not come back from the Development League.
You know, the original Boozer averaged 11.4 points per game in his first year with the Cavaliers, which means his combat ability is very good. With his ability, there is definitely no problem in averaging "20 plus 10" per game in the Development League.
By then, won’t you be able to come back if you want?
In short, Jiang Dalin has paved the road for him. It depends on him how he can walk.
Michael Jordan doesn't have any objections.
Just this side of him, he had almost forgotten what Boozer looked like.
If Jiang Dalin wants to delegate, then let him delegate. Anyway, this team belongs to him now.
Only poor Boozer walked out of the arena and looked at the clear sky. He felt more and more that he would have a bright future.
After the press conference, Jiang Dalin and Jordan held a training camp together. This is what Nike means. The inheritance between the two of them is currently the most talked about thing. It is definitely a good idea for the two of them to cooperate to hold a training camp.
A very influential thing.
Nike urgently needs these things now to eliminate the impact of Jiang Dalin's broken sneakers incident.
Arenas did a very disgusting thing. They made Jiang Dalin's "Fuck you Nike" into a mechanical sound, and even filmed a player throwing away his broken Nike sneakers and then putting on Adidas sneakers.
advertise.
It's a bit like the advertising battle between Pepsi and Coca-Cola.
It was also because of this advertisement that Nike's reputation has not changed.
Now they urgently need Jiang Dalin, the spokesperson of Nike, to do something to increase his presence and let everyone know that Jiang Dalin has forgiven Nike and once again chosen to believe in Nike.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Dalin’s first signature shoe is about to be released. Nike stopped all the projects on hand and worked overtime to get it.
In addition, it is not only Jiang Dalin’s first pair of signature shoes, but also the “Inherited Generation” jointly signed by him and AJ.
Continuously launch sneakers related to Jiang Dalin...
It can be seen how anxious the entire top management is right now.
In fact, they really didn't expect that someone could break their sneakers...
This guy must be a superman, right?
This training camp is divided into three grade groups, the youngest is only seven or eight years old...
When Jiang Dalin saw the training camp roster, he was a little scared.
because……
"Stephen Curry..."
"James Harden..."
"Griffin..."
There are even...
"LeBron James!"
"Carmelo Anthony!"
"Chris Bosh..."
This is a familiar name.
It can be seen that Nike has put a lot of effort into the roster for this training camp.
"Darling, can you teach me to dunk?"
Perhaps because they grew up in the audience, Stephen Curry and his younger brother Seth Curry are not unfamiliar with NBA superstars. On the first day of training camp, he took the initiative to talk to Jiang Dalin.
Looking at the future super giant who was really a primary school student in front of him, Jiang Dalin secretly sighed in his heart: It turns out that Golden State Raven has started to go astray from this moment on!
"Of course, this is definitely not a difficult thing for you!"
Jiang Dalin then performed Stephen Curry's classic dunk action. While rushing forward, he slammed the ball to the ground, then jumped high, grabbed the rebounded ball with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.
inside.
This action made the Curry brothers stunned.
The big eyes flickered.
"I believe this kind of action will be easy for you to do when you grow up!"
Jiang Dalin repeatedly emphasized...
Stephen Curry... believed it!
Because he had seen such a scene in his dream, he always felt that it was God's guidance.
When Jiang Dalin went to instruct others, he said to his brother quite proudly: "See, Seth, I am a person who has been recognized by the slam dunk king. In the future, when I enter the NBA, I will definitely be in Darling
Complete this action in front of me!"
Jiang Dalin's dunk just now has been deeply imprinted in his mind.
Seth Curry nodded and couldn't help but applaud Stephen Curry: "giegie is awesome, he deserves to be a giegie!"
And this scene was all seen by Griffin.
He recalled Jiang Dalin's actions and couldn't help but think to himself: This doesn't seem to be that big of a deal, right? I can definitely replace him and become the most violent dunker in the future!
After watching Jiang Dalin's dunk just now, the future "Clippers Tyrannosaurus Rex" labeled Jiang Dalin "Just like Jiang Dalin."
"Boom!"
The senior group was having a group competition. Because there were media nearby, everyone was playing with extra vigor. When Jiang Dalin walked to the sidelines, he happened to see a strong "headband man" jumping high
He got up and hit the "Emperor's Dunk" with one hand so hard that the basket buzzed.
There was a lot of low cheers from the sidelines.
Michael Jordan saw Jiang Dalin coming and whispered to him: "Can you imagine, this guy is only 17 years old?"
Um?
Why do these words sound so familiar?
However, if Jiang Dalin had to say it, he could imagine it, because he had seen LeBron James look like at the age of 37, and compared to that time, his hairline was still within a safe range.
Of course, LeBron James at this time does not know how to "bald-headed combination". Now there is only one word in his mind: sudden!
But this is indeed a magic weapon that makes him unbeatable among his peers.
His strong physical fitness coupled with excellent physical conditions allow him to crash into the basket like a roaring train and score points just like that!
After he dunked successfully, on his opponent's side, a black guy with a round face who looked also very strong took the initiative to hold the ball. Compared to LeBron James, his movements seemed very technical. The "triple threat" started.
, various tentative steps, and then suddenly took the ball and went inside, turned around 360 degrees, passed the defender in front of him, and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.
It also ended with a dunk, and his entire action seemed to have a lot more technical beauty!
Another genius: Carmelo Anthony!
Compared with other players, including the "future All-Stars" that Jiang Dalin knew, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony were already known throughout the United States as "genius high school students."
In February this year, the two of them met in the finals of the state high school league, attracting 11,000 fans to watch. The scene was comparable to the NBA!
The outside world also calls this game "Larry Bird and Magic Johnson version 2.0".
In the end, the two people did not disappoint the media present. LeBron James scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals, and Carmelo Anthony also scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
His name also spread throughout the United States after this game.
The saying that the 2003 draft was comparable to the "golden generation" of 1996 started to spread from this moment on.
"It seems that your inheritance path is not that easy!"
Michael Jordan looked at the two geniuses who were competing against each other on the court, with some worry and some gloating in his tone.
"I think it's pretty good, it's always challenging!"
Jiang Dalin was not worried at all.
First, have confidence in your own strength;
Second, he has already paved the way for his future...
On July 5th, the training camp ended, and Nike distributed the upcoming "Heritage Generation" of Michael Jordan and Jiang Dalin to every player participating in the training camp in advance!
Everyone who gets the sneakers can't put them down.
Including LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
They also regard Michael Jordan as their idol, and being able to get the idol's signature shoes means that for them, this training camp is not in vain.
But Jiang Dalin could feel that the two men looked at him with fighting intent!
Apparently they didn't agree with Michael Jordan's view of him as his "successor."
In fact, it's not just them who don't agree, including those in the league who want to be the "next Jordan".
It's just that Michael Jordan gave up the throne to Jiang Dalin. Whether he can sit on it and whether he can sit firmly and hold the throne, the rest of the way depends on Jiang Dalin himself!
At the end of the training camp, new signing news came out of Washington again...
"For 36 million in 6 years, Billups, the former parallel import prospect, joins Washington!"
Jiang Dalin put together the last piece of the puzzle for the new season in his mind. At the same time, he also laid a solid foundation for next year's Wizards team.
Ben, who was far away in Detroit, woke up the next day and found that he had lost a lot of hair. It was as if an invisible hand had given his afro a few hard blows...
