NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 29: Defeat Chen Xiao and reach the pinnacle of life (for further reading)

Chen Xiao walked to the far end with the crowd, looked up, and there was not only Josh Smith who had just dunked, but also the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson practicing singles under the interference of the trainer, and the second of the Eagles' 4 All-Stars in the same year-Al Horford and Jeff Teague.

Duke players wearing DUKE blue training uniforms walked into the arena, which naturally attracted the attention of the Eagles players in the arena.

Tracy McGrady, who was resting on the sidelines instead of playing, saw that the players who came were Duke players. He was “healthy” like those around him. “Stack” Jerry Stackhouse, who carried several labels such as “McDonald’s High School All-Star Game MVP, University of North Carolina star, 1 meters tall, shooting guard, third pick” on his back, asked, “Why are the Duke players here?”

As a North Carolina star, Stackhouse naturally pays more attention to the NCAA than McGrady, who skipped college and entered the NBA as a high school student.

What's more, as a product of North Carolina, he naturally pays close attention to his sworn enemy Duke.

"They're playing the Final 8 at the Georgia Dome tomorrow, maybe they're here for practice," Stackhouse responded casually.

When it comes to the quarterfinals, he inevitably thinks of North Carolina, which was just eliminated by the University of Kansas Jayhawks yesterday.

"Fxxk!" Stackhouse cursed inwardly.

It's okay to lose, it's a real shame to lose like surrendering.

Maddie opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at Stackhouse and thought: I didn't go to college, did I not even pay attention to March Madness?What's more, posters for the quarter-finals on the 25th had already been hung up on the streets and alleys of Atlanta a few days ago.

He even remembered the ticket reservation call written on it.

Withdrawing his attention, McGrady found the outstanding Chen Xiao in the crowd without any difficulty. Chen Xiao's height is definitely not as high as Yao Ming, but it is still very obvious among the players under 2 meters.

Like Stackhouse, seeing the same tall Chinese giant, McGrady inevitably thought of his old teammate Yao Ming who had fought together in Mosaic for several years.

Regardless of whether we got along happily or not, the regrets left behind are real.

Yao Ming chose to retire last offseason, and he has been homeless for several years since leaving Mosaic. This year is also the twilight of his career.

When the two aging superstars were full of emotions, Chen Xiao and his party were passing through the first full court where the Eagles were.

Not far away, "West Second C" Eric Dampier and Zha Pachulia, who were fishing under the basket, also saw the Duke players crossing the court.

Dampier, who averaged 5.5 points in 0.1 minutes per game this season, knows that this should be his last season, and he doesn't mind doing something.

He claimed to be the No. [-] center in the West, but he was slapped in the face by Yao Ming, he can remember it now.

For him, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are similar, they are both yellow-skinned Asians, no difference.

Besides, as a veteran who has played in the league for more than 15 years, what if he bullied a college player?Anyway, he's retiring soon.

However, although Dampier is talking nonsense, ignoring Yao Ming, and boasting that he is the second center in the Western Conference, he is not a brainless person. With an average of 0.1 points per game, he should not be Chen Xiao's opponent.

Then you have to find someone with strength to go out.

Dampier, who is a veteran and gets along day and night, knows the "strength" of the scum around him.

Dampier, who had 1 thoughts in his bare head, began to bait and make nests.
"That yellow man is very famous now. He was praised so much before he entered the league. What else can he do besides being tall? It's just that the college opponents he faces are too short and tender. You can easily teach him a lesson."

Dampier selectively ignores all of Chen Xiao's advantages, talking nonsense.

"It can't be said that way. This Chinese person may still have something. Height is also an advantage."

Pachulia was not a fool either, so she wouldn't go up and shout to be beaten and killed after Dampier said a few words in vain.

Yes, he admits that he doesn't like Chen Xiao, just like he doesn't like Yao Ming.But slag wouldn't do anything without any benefit.

After all, he was just clumsy, not stupid.

Dampier, who saw that Pachulia was not hooked, saw Stackhouse who was chatting in the distance, and thought about it.

"It has been more than two months since Al's pectoral muscle was injured, and it seems that he will be back next month."

"Maybe, I don't know." Pachulia frowned when Dampier mentioned Horford, who had not returned from injury before, and reluctantly answered.

Faced with the Pacers in early January, Al Horford lost his balance after confronting Hibbert in the paint, hit the ground hard on his chest, and was sent off the court on the spot.After the game, he was diagnosed with a torn left pectoral muscle and needed to rest for 1 months.

The team's Zhengyin center Horford was unable to play, which gave the substitute center slag a chance. He will serve as the team's starting center in subsequent games.

After serving as the team's starter, Pachulia's data has risen from the average of 4 points and 4 rebounds per game last season to the current average of nearly 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, and the key data has nearly doubled.

In the NBA, everyone knows what data means.

"Listen, Zaza.

Just look at Stack and think about his and Kobe's story.

As a veteran, a player with countless basketball experiences, do you really believe that Kobe Bryant, a high school student, can beat Stackhouse?Beat a Stack who averaged 20 points per game in his rookie season, a Stack who is supposed to be the next Jordan?
Let's assume for the time being that this story is true, what is the reason for the loss?The only possibility is that Jerry didn't take that heads-up seriously, so you take it seriously.

Whether the story is true or not, everyone thinks Kobe Bryant, a high school kid, beat Stackhouse, an NBA player who averaged 20 points per game.

The opportunity is right in front of you now.

Chen Xiao's current popularity in the United States is much higher than that of Kobe back then, and if you teach him a lesson in front of so many people during training, how much attention will it bring?

Combined with your performance this season, averaging close to a double-double per game, think about it.

Your contract is about to expire, Zaza. "

Dampier's bewitching voice lingered in Pachulia's ears.

Sentence after sentence repeated itself in Pachulia's mind.

Pachulia seemed to see the scene of him defeating Chen Xiao before his eyes.

ESPN, CBS, TNT and other sports media reporters scrambled to plug in the microphones, the continuous discussion on social media, and the continuous stream of sponsorship invitations in the backstage information.

What made him salivate even more was naturally the large contract extension, a whole bunch of green knives from the armored van beckoned to him.

Dampier on the side was talking, and he felt that what he said was too fucking reasonable. I should earn the money myself, but thinking of his 0.1 point scoring data and his 36-year-old age, he still swallowed and waited for Pachulia's reply.

"It's done!" Pachulia swallowed, hoarse, and let out the sound from her throat.

　Thank you for the monthly pass of "Commel North Nose", thank you!
