Guard With a Knife

Michael Jordan stretched out his hand and waved around amid the huge cheers, and suddenly the sound wave set off a new climax again.

"Why is Michael here?" Chatford frowned suddenly, and he asked Bill Wharton next to him strangely: "Isn't his draft strategy for the past few years all North Carolina?"

"Don't you know? North Carolina's three core players have announced that if they don't win this season's championship, they will give up participating in this year's NBA draft. So, the Bobcats may be doing plan B." Bill Walton complained: "Leaving aside the plot of Michael Jordan's alma mater, maybe the Bobcats can pick a good first-round pick this time."

The god of basketball has never made the right choice in the draft. Not to mention the fact that he hand-picked Kwame Brown in Washington back then. Since he took over the Charlotte Bobcats, in 2005, he picked two North Carolina juniors Raymond Felton with the No. 5 pick and the No. 13 pick. With Sean May, miss Danny Granger, David Lee, Andrew Bynum.

In 2006, North Carolina's younger brother Morrison was selected as the third pick, but Brandon Roy, Rudi Gay and Lagalondo were missed.

In 2007, Brandon Wright was selected with the No. 8 pick, and Joakim Noah, who was selected to the rookie first team, was missed.

This year... who knows what will happen.

However, Michael did not enter the arena today to select rookies. He came to inspect Russell Westbrook as the founder of the Jordan brand.

His goal is the same as that of Nike and Adidas.

Because Westbrook is special, he was not well-known in high school and freshman season, so these sports brands have never bet on him in advance, and he has never entered the star training camp of brand sponsors, let alone McDonald's The All-Star Game is a grand gathering of talents.

However, starting from the second half of this season, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and with his amazing physical fitness, he stole the limelight from countless favorites of heaven.

Sneaker brands love to stock up on guards, especially the athletic ones.

This has made major brand sponsors flock to him, because he has never reached an off-the-table verbal agreement with any brand.

Therefore, Westbrook, the "ownerless thing", became the target of looting.

Russell Westbrook is also aware of this. He has been in frequent contact with various managers in the past two days. He has also consulted the puppy on many economic issues, and the puppy has given good advice.

"Snoopy, you play power forward tonight, and Robin Lopez is your main defense. He is good at defense just like you. He is good at grabbing defensive rebounds and protecting the basket." Ben Holland before the start of the game The puppy was assigned a task.

The puppy nodded.

For Stanford, the most threatening player is actually Brook Lopez. His level is obviously higher than that of his younger brother, and he is extremely good at attacking, using a full set of center forward skills. Therefore, Ben Holland finally chose to let Kevin Love defend him. Although Kevin Love is not very good at defending, he is close to seven feet tall after all, although he is still taller than Brook Lopez. A little shorter, but undoubtedly has a lot of advantages over puppies.

When the starting players of both sides walk onto the court.

There was a little surprise on the ESPN commentary stage.

Because Bill Walton and Chatford have just reached a consensus, they believe that Kevin Love and Luke Mbah a Moute should be paired inside, their athletic ability is better, and they are more suitable for the recent DDM tactics dominated by Westbrook .

"Ben Holland has always been a head coach who claims to have a long-term vision." Bill Walton criticized mercilessly: "Everyone knows what he is thinking. He knows that Snoopy will not play in the NBA, so He would rather sacrifice the current training of Snoopy. But... we have the opportunity to enter the quarterfinals or even the semifinals, why not take advantage of Westbrook and Kevin Love to make a good impact for the championship?"

"He's just selfish!"

While Bill Walton slams Ben Holland,

The puppy came to the halfway line, and standing across from him was Robin Lopez.

The huge height gap between the two made the referee frown.

The audience laughed too.

It was the funniest jump ball they had ever seen.

Ben Holland felt incredible, because he arranged for Kevin Love to jump the ball before the game.

"Blow the whistle. I'm the one representing the jump ball."

The puppy smiled and told the referee.

Robin Lopez on the opposite side looked at the puppy with disdain. With a height of 213, he didn't pay attention to the puppy at all. He thought the puppy was just planning a boring farce.

drop!

The referee blows his whistle and at the same time throws the basketball into the sky.

Robin Lopez jumped up quickly.

But his speed was too slow, his feet had just left the ground, and the puppy had already passed the top of his head, snap!

His long arm easily patted the basketball to Westbrook! !

The audience was shocked!

The previous laughter was all stuck in his throat.

This is the most direct visual impact. Although in the past two games, the commentators have been emphasizing that the rebounding speed of the puppy is amazing, but they have no intuitive feeling. Now, the seven-foot Robin Lopez is the best reference.

"This bounce speed..."

The god of basketball took a breath on the sidelines, and he couldn't help but think of his former teammate Dennis Rodman.

He even thinks that this kid is even more amazing than Rodman. He bends his knees less than Rodman when he bounces. He is like a rocket rising into the sky, and he doesn't need to fold his legs at all.

"What a monster!"

While he was muttering to himself, Westbrook rushed into the three-second zone and opened his hand with a split button!

The atmosphere in the arena was immediately ignited by this unreasonable and domineering dunk.

The vice president of the Jordan brand whispered: "I think Russell Westbrook's physical fitness is not worse than the point guard of the University of Memphis. According to reliable sources, Derrick Rose has reached a verbal agreement with Adidas. We want to complete the pair. Adidas' siege is bound to find a point guard who can compete with Derrick Rose."

Michael Jordan nodded slightly.

At present, the biggest player under the Jordan brand is Carmelo Anthony, but his style of play is not the best, so the sales of sneakers are not as good as one-third of his own who has retired for many years.

During this time, Jordan has been thinking about whether to poach one or two super guards from the Nike brand to support the scene.

However, Nike is not doing charity. Although it is a mother-child brand, brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

Therefore, it is better to ask for someone than to ask for yourself. Jordan simply came to the NCAA to find a guard.

"I think that Chinese kid is nice."

Michael Jordan said suddenly.

Vice President Kaner was taken aback immediately, he had no confidence in the vision of the God of Basketball at all.

"Michael, what we're looking for is a guard, not an insider." He reminded in a low voice.

"Don't underestimate that kid. With his physical fitness, the transformation is easy." Jordan said seriously. He has always had a special appreciation for players with big palms and good jumping.

When Kana heard this, he panicked even more. Back then, the god of basketball picked Kwame Brown, and he said the same thing: With Kwame Brown's physical fitness, skills are easy to develop.

However, the seven-year itch is over. Kwame Brown is still struggling with the most basic skill of passing and catching the ball.
