NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 62 He Admits Brother's Potential
Juwan was upgrading his arsenal, while Connecticut continued their regular season campaign. The media immediately noticed that Juwan did not appear on the bench. When interviewing after the game, the reporters also immediately asked about Juwan's whereabouts.

Jim Cahon asked: "Do you have any questions about this game?"

In the fourth game of Juwan's suspension, Connecticut ushered in a game against the University of Notre Dame against the Irish. There are basically no weak teams in the Big East, especially this season, but apart from University of Notre Dame, this also allowed UConn to finally win its first victory after Juwan's suspension.

Ben Gordon played well and scored 24 points. Okafor also played very well, scoring 17 points and 11 rebounds. His performance can be called a "Connecticut Twin Star".

But in the end, the media didn't ask any questions, and the first question they asked was about Zhu Wan.

Is this the tragedy of being on the same team as a super popular rookie?
These two rookies, who are actually very good, don't have any sense of existence in the eyes of the media because of Zhu Wan's existence.

"He's updating his arsenal!"

Jim Cahon's mysterious smile after answering made the reporters even more curious about where Zhu Wan had gone.

Although this is an era when the Internet has just begun to develop, communication equipment is far from that developed, and social software is not even online, but these reporters are really awesome, and they found out Zhu Wan's whereabouts that night.

"Super rookie upgrades the arsenal during the suspension, will Olajuwon's "dream steps" reappear on him? "

"Accepting Olajuwon's secret training, the suspension has become an opportunity for him to improve! "

"Juwan returns to Houston ahead of schedule, "Dream" Olajuwon personally guides him, will he become even scarier? "

The news about Zhu Wan also appeared in the reports of major media the next day.

When Bill Simmons, a well-known ESPN columnist, recorded the live broadcast that morning, he sighed: "I never thought that a Chinese player could become the No. [-] pick in the NBA, and I never thought that a Chinese player who played in the ncaa could attract so much media coverage just by training with Olajuwon during the suspension period!"

Seeing these reports, there is another person who is also very dissatisfied, but he is not dissatisfied with the media reports, but with a certain African uncle in the media reports, pointing to his photo and yelling: "Hakeem, this old bastard, cheated me when he was playing professionally, and now he is silently robbing me of his successor. Why didn't I see that, he is still the old man next door!"

The greasy round face trembled slightly because of anger, and he twisted his huge butt in dissatisfaction, and the chair underneath made a "creaking" sound.

There are not many NBA players whose buttocks can be described as huge, even fewer with greasy round faces.

That's right, it's Barkley!

He had just received a notification in the morning that it had decided to rebroadcast the University of Connecticut's penultimate game of the season against the University of Cincinnati's Bearcats. There had been some quarrels between the two teams before, and it was very likely to be a preview of the Big East finals, so it was still very interesting.

In such an influential game, officially announcing Juwan as his successor, Barkley believes, is also a very good opportunity.

Because of such a strong opponent, Zhu Wan will definitely use back punches frequently. Who needs to say more about the back punches he taught?
Fans will definitely agree with Juwan's title of "Little Barkley".

It's just that this happiness only lasted until the morning when he was reading the newspaper. Barkley never thought that Olajuwon, an honest man, would come to poach him!

Really too much!

He really wanted to call this guy: "You are going too far. Even if you are looking for a successor, you should find a fifth position anyway. This Zhu Wan is obviously playing small forward!"

what?
You said that I am also number four, don’t you also want Zhu Wan to be your successor?
Laughing to death, do you understand my 1-meter power forward?
Barkley was pissed, but as Christmas approached, something made him even more pissed off...

Christmas is the biggest holiday in the United States. Similar to the Spring Festival in China, it is also a time for the whole family to have fun. Even though Zhu Wan has no habit of celebrating foreign festivals, the atmosphere in the streets and alleys is so full that it is easy to feel like a festival.Besides, Jimmy Butler is an American to the letter.So they built a Christmas tree at home anyway.

Sona also sent Zhu Wan a blessing message, but Zhu Wan didn't reply.For this girlfriend, the ending is doomed, so he has to keep his distance.

As a man, it's hard to let go of a concern.

Although it is a foreign festival, it must also have a "new year flavor", so Zhu Jianmin not only prepared turkey, but also prepared dumplings.

This made Zhu Wan feel even more festive.

Think about how we usually spend less time with Zhu Jianmin, but after a closer look today, I found out that the cheap second uncle who has taken care of him for six or seven years has gray hair. Then think about what Zhu Jianmin said, and he will go back to help his parents in China next summer.

This made Zhu Jianmin very surprised: "In my impression, this is the first time you drink with me!"

Zhu Wan clinked glasses with him: "There will definitely be a second and third time in the future."

"Brother, Christmas battle, Christmas battle!"

Butler kept looking at the time, and at three or four in the afternoon, he immediately reminded him.

Zhu Wan nodded and pressed the remote control in his hand.

Due to the importance of Christmas to Americans, on Christmas Day, many competitive games will have a bye day, including the most popular football and baseball games in the United States. However, the NBA has done the opposite after David Stern took office. They will arrange one or two topical games on Christmas Day, commonly known as the "Christmas War". Know how to "drain"!

His idea is undoubtedly very successful. After so many years of promotion, the "Christmas Game" has become the golden sign of the NBA just like the "All-Star Weekend".

Many fans who don't usually watch the NBA will habitually wait in front of the TV for the arrival of the "Christmas Game".

Just like the domestic Spring Festival Gala cannot live without zbs, for many Americans, Christmas cannot be without the "Christmas War"!
This year, David Stern arranged two heavyweight games, the Pistons against the Magic and the Lakers against the Kings... Especially the Lakers against the Kings, when the schedule for the new season came out, many people were already looking forward to it.

These two teams met in the Western Conference Finals last season and staged a very fierce battle. The Lakers showed their resilience as the defending champions in this round of the series. When they fell behind by a large score, they staged a resolute reversal and finally eliminated the Kings 4-3, which can be said to be very exciting.

Many wonderful moments were born in this round of the series, but it also caused a lot of controversy.

A lot of fans complained about the Kings, thinking that it was the bias of the referee that caused the Kings to lose. The voice of cursing the referee for black whistle still exists from the end of that round of the series to the present.

This also makes this "Christmas War" particularly interesting.

ESPN also sent their ace commentary combination Bill Walton and Drexler for this game. In addition, they also invited "Big Bird" Bird as the guest commentator this time.

"Wow, it's a big bird, brother!"

Jimmy Butler yelled excitedly when he saw Larry Bird.

The second uncle who didn't understand the game asked, "Big Bird? Is he big?"

"Huh?" Jimmy Butler didn't react right away, but he knew that Zhu Jianmin didn't understand the game, so he explained to him: "This is a very powerful NBA star. He has retired now, but he can be ranked in the top 5 in the history of the NBA! At that time... By the way, the media said that I will be the next Larry Bird!" This is why Jimmy Butler is so excited.

Seeing Larry Bird, he immediately thought of the media's evaluation of Juwan.

Zhu Jianmin also became interested: "That is to say, Xiao Wan can become as good a player as he is in the future?"

"Yes, because bro..."

Jimmy Butler talked more and more vigorously, Zhu Jianmin listened more and more seriously, his closed mouth moved from time to time, as if he was repeating, Zhu Wan knew that Zhu Jianmin wanted to write down what Jimmy Butler said, and then tell his parents. This was not the first time.

Zhu Wan turned his gaze to the TV. The game had already started. The Kings started the game very quickly, so they kept playing against the Lakers. The state of the Kings at the start was enough to explain why this team was called "the biggest difficulty for the Lakers to win the three-peat championship".

It's also understandable why so many fans feel upset about their elimination.

Because the gorgeous king is really strong!

In Zhu Wan's memory, this is also the most glorious period of time since the last ten or 20 years of the Kings. After Chris Webber collapsed, the Kings no longer had a "new king".

The first half of the game ended like this. It can be seen that the Lakers are not in a good state today. Not to mention the slow start, and the pursuit of points is not straightforward. After finally chasing two or three points, they sent it back after a few rounds. Therefore, at the end of the first half, the Kings still led by 8 points.

This advantage is nothing after 15 years, but it is already a very big advantage in the era of traditional centers.

It may also be that the Lakers were not in good shape in the first half, and the Kings kept gaining the upper hand, causing the three commentators to quickly analyze the first half, and there was nothing to talk about.

Drexler suddenly asked Bird at this time: "Dude, many media are saying that NCAA super rookie Juwan will be the next Larry Bird, what do you think?"

His question made Zhu Wan's attention focus on the TV, and he was also very curious about what Bird thought of him, the "second generation of Larry Bird".

Bird showed his iconic cup-filler smile, and said, "No one can become the next Larry Bird. It's not easy, but I also watched that little guy's game. He does have a shadow of me!"

Standard "Big Bird" cupping narrative.

The two people next to him were stunned, because they understood the meaning of Larry Bird's words - he agreed with what the media said, and he also felt that Zhu Wan might become the next Larry Bird!

Larry Bird, who is so cupped, actually agrees!
He actually recognized Zhu Wan!

How can this not surprise them.

Let alone them, Zhu Wan was a little surprised.

"wooooooow!"

However, his daze was quickly interrupted by the pig-killing cry from the side. It came from Jimmy Butler. He also heard Larry Bird's words. Looking at the frightened Zhu Jianmin, he said excitedly, "Uncle, it's just this big bird. He just said on TV that my brother will be the next one. He recognized his potential!"

"This is the first time he recognizes someone else as his successor!"
