NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 3 Eating, sleeping and fighting monsters

Liu Rui looked at the list in his hand and frowned, no wonder the lynx in his previous life was so bad.

Since even "Jamal Sampson" can enter the rotation list.

Liu Rui is very familiar with "Jamal Sampson".

In his previous life in 07, this brother had no ball to play, so he chose to come to the CBA to seek gold, playing for the Liaoning and Dongguan teams successively.

When I played in Liaoning, I used to talk about it. When I arrived in Dongguan, I don’t know if I lost myself in the sound of my little brother. I ran on the court, my calf cramps, and my sleepwalking performance throughout the game.

Until he joined the Shanxi team in 10, scored 8 points in a single game, played two games and was cut...

Seeing this guy, Liu Rui was immediately heartbroken, and seriously doubted whether he was really tricked by the old guy "Robert Johnson"? !
Thanks to also seeing "Melvin Eli" and "Jarhi Dee White" in the later list.

In the previous life, the Bobcats team only achieved 18 wins in a single season, since they can beat the favorite Heat to win the championship, and double-kill the giant Lakers in the season.

It shocked the league for a while, and since then there has been the classic "NBA has no underdogs".

You must know that the Heat got the big shark "O'Neal" this season, and Wade has also shown the potential to become a superstar.

All of a sudden, it was in the limelight, and in the championship prediction before the start of the season, it was even rated as 4 stars by a group of "experts".

And only the defending champion Pistons have a 5-star rating in the entire league! !The famous Pistons Five Tigers, and the Spurs with the troika.

On the other hand, the Lynx team only has a half-star evaluation. I believe that if it is not the lowest half-star, it may not even have this half-star...

And the reason why they can beat the Heat is because of the inconspicuous "Jarhidi White" in the team.

As a center, White is only 206 tall, but his weight has reached an astonishing 131 kilograms.

It can be said that he is one of the few in the league who can "resist" O'Neal alone. Although his defensive awareness is not strong, he relies on his extremely strong body to hold O'Neal outside the three-second zone and successfully limit O'Neal's efficiency.

Helping the team win the game.

But although a strong body is the basis for White to gain a foothold in the inside line, his excessive weight has also become his nightmare.

Because of his super weight, he is arranged by the coach as a meat shield in most cases to face head-to-head with the opponent's dominant center.

This also caused White's knees to be severely overloaded, and frequent injuries also made this strong man nicknamed "Buffalo" disappear after only 6 seasons in the league. It is really a pity.

And the other "Melvin Eli" can be said to be an early Beast player in the league.

He was also a high-ranking rookie. He was selected by the Clippers with the 02th overall pick in 12. This season, he was selected to the Bobcats together with House.

Before the former zombie center "Kaman" entered the NBA through the draft, Eli was considered the most zombie-like man in the NBA.

Not only is his playing style wild, but his beard matches his face shape. It would be a shame not to play a zombie...

Eli, who is 208 tall and weighs 118 kilograms, is not an insider who likes to fight for rebounds.

This also led to the low number of career rebounds under this wild appearance.

Eli prefers to act as a counterattacking beast, plundering everywhere. Although he doesn't have much offensive means, he is always full of passion on the court, which is one of the reasons why he was selected with a high pick.

If you have to find a comparison, Liu Rui thinks that Eli is more like a "Harrell" who is slightly taller and slower, but equally wild on the court.

But it's a pity that his career is like Harrell in the Rockets period. He has no enthusiasm, but he really can't meet his own Bole.

As for "Jarhidi Hunter" and "Temalesley", even Liu Rui, a super basketball fan who traveled here, has never heard of these people...

I went through it several times in my mind to make sure I didn't miss it, even if it was 1 minute of playing time.

Hmm... still don't remember...

By the way, are they super professional water dispenser caretakers? ! !

As for "Tron Smith", Liu Ruineng's impression of this person is entirely because in his previous life there was a movie called The Matrix, in which there was an agent named Tron Smith. .

If it is really hidden, you are indeed a powerful agent. It is too deep. Since you are playing basketball behind our backs? ! !
In order not to be discovered, she even had plastic surgery, um... It seems that she has grown a little taller, darkened a little, and bald a little...

In this case, Liu Rui is quite satisfied with the inside lineup.

The team has the big buffalo "White" who can resist people, the brutalist "Eli" who can play fast breaks, and "Brazek" who can open up space and play with his brain.

Finally, there is "Okafor", who was able to beat "Howard" to win the best rookie of the year.

Even in his rookie season, he recorded 47 double-doubles in a single season and a record of 19 consecutive double-doubles in his rookie season.

Originally, "Okafor" was a popular candidate for the No. 2003 pick. In the 04-[-] season before entering the NBA, under the leadership of Okafor, the Huskies reached the NCAA National Finals.

In the final they defeated Georgia Tech 82-73 to win the trophy.

那场比赛奥卡福贡献24分、15个篮板、2次封盖。凭借出色的表现，奥卡福荣膺2003-04赛季NCAA最终四强MOP殊荣。

And in 04, he received an invitation from the national team to participate in the Athens Olympic Games that year.

If it weren't for the fact that he was asked by the coach to gain weight in his rookie season to enhance his dominance inside, resulting in damaged knees and frequent injuries.

That's right, it's the teaching assistant "Bixstaff" behind me! !

Maybe it will be like what was written in the scouting report. Not only does he have the same level of strength as Da Ben, but he also has a lateral speed far exceeding the normal inside line.

Coupled with suffocating defense, it is expected to become the next Duncan or Garnett.

Although the scouting report is just a report, there is no denying the talent that is visible to the naked eye.

If he hadn't followed the advice of the famous coach "Bickstaff", his weight would have increased from 260 pounds to 280 pounds, which would have caused Okafor's ankles to suffer frequent injuries.

Even in the 05-06 season, he was reimbursed for the season and had to receive treatment.

It wasn't until the 06-07 season that Okafor lost the 20 pounds that troubled him and regained his energy and mobility that he was able to temporarily get rid of his injuries.

It is precisely because of his flexible mobility that Okafor sent a career-high 2.6 blocks that season.

Liu Rui bowed his head in deep thought, thinking seriously, should he take advantage of Howard's rough skills and have not yet reached the peak, let Okafor snatch back the meme of "eating, sleeping, and playing World of Warcraft" from Yao Ming?

Hmm... It seems that it is necessary to think about it.
