NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 135 Stern's Call
After the Raptors game, the Kings continue to sit at home, and there are three more home games, and the opponents are not strong.

On October 10, the Kings ushered in their fifth opponent of the season, the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers are undoubtedly a bad team. They are roughly at the same level as the previous Kings. The playoffs are a luxury for them. Even if they make it to the playoffs, they will be eliminated in the first round...

Last season, Bill Fitch, who has been focusing on bad teams for 30 years, took up the coach of the Clippers.

But for a team as bad as the Clippers, even Bill Fitch cannot make it rise in the short term.

The Kings at least have a high-end star like Richmond internally, and the Clippers really have nothing.

The game was naturally one-sided again. The Clippers trailed by [-] points at halftime. After the third quarter, Davidson switched to a pure substitute lineup.

For the coach Bill Fitch, Davidson has a lot of respect, and naturally he doesn't want to make such a respectable old coach ugly.

Although Battelle didn't feel good tonight, he still scored 27 points in three quarters.

Muresan performed quite well tonight, scoring 12 points, 22 rebounds and 6 blocks, dominating the Clippers' penalty area.

So far this season, Muresan has averaged 16 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game. Both rebounds and blocks are temporarily ranked first in the league.

Rodman averaged less than 15 rebounds per game this season, temporarily ranking behind Muresan.

As for the block data, Mutombo's average block per game is also 4.5 now, but he is now playing one game less than Muresan, so naturally he is temporarily behind Muresan.

The regular season schedule has just begun, and such a ranking is actually meaningless.

Even if Muresan is currently ranked first in rebounding and blocks, it doesn't mean that his rebounding ability is really better than Rodman's, and it doesn't mean that his blocking ability is better than Mutombo.

But one thing is certain, the current Muresan is definitely the top blue-collar center in the league. In terms of overall strength, it is not too much to say that he is the league's number one blue-collar center.

Now that Muresan's alliance status has been raised to this level, Davidson should actually be happy.

But Davidson couldn't be happy, because Muresan's career life span is only six years!
And now this season is Muresan's third year, which means that there are still three years before Muresan's career will end.

Davidson also inquired with Mu Tiezhu whether there is a way to prolong the career life of the natal players.

Mu Tiezhu nodded and said no, then it must be gone.

The lifespan of a natural player is short, and there are advantages and disadvantages. It is impossible to get the advantages but have no disadvantages at all.

However, Mu Tiezhu also said that before the lifespan of a natal player’s career reaches the limit, the buyer can get the opportunity to re-select the natal player, so it does not have much impact on the buyer.

Davidson naturally didn't pay much attention to this amount of money.

The only thing is that I feel a little bit reluctant to leave Muresan, after all, I have been with me for more than two years...

……

After beating the underdog of the Clippers, the Kings played against the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

The Blazers are not considered underdogs, but they certainly can't be called strong.

Can make the playoffs, but can't do much in the playoffs.

The team has Clifford Robinson, speeding Rod Strickland and old Sabonis.

As a result, in this game, the Blazers still caused some trouble for the Kings.

Muresan had just played less than 2 minutes in the fourth quarter and left the field with six fouls.

Fortunately, Richmond and Battelle broke out tonight and scored a super high score of 67 points together. Otherwise, this game might lose to the Trail Blazers.

Richmond scored 37 points and made 7 of 5 three-pointers!

Battelle also continued his previous strong performance and scored 30 points.

According to this momentum, Battelle may be able to average 30 points per game in his rookie season.

……

After the game, Trail Blazers coach Carlesimo took the initiative to walk onto the court and shook hands with Davidson.

Now with the strong rise of the King, Davidson has gained a lot of attention.

Why can this king have such a reborn performance?The biggest reason does not lie with Davidson.

It wasn't Davidson who brought Muresan from the Nets, and it wasn't Davidson who selected Battelle in the draft. How could the Kings be so strong now.

After the first seven games, the Kings already have an impressive record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Davidson has become a rising superstar among today's league coaches.

A coach like Carlesimo naturally wants to communicate more with Davidson, and a good relationship may come in handy in the future.

Needless to say, the importance of connections in the NBA is evident in Davidson.

After the game against the Trail Blazers, Davidson got a call the next day that he never expected.

Alliance President Stern.

"Wilson, you've done a good job lately." After the call was connected, Stern announced his family, and directly praised Davidson affectionately.

If it wasn't from Dad, Davidson wondered if it was a liar.

Why is Stern looking for himself?Are you full?

Before Davidson could figure out how to answer Stern, Stern continued to speak.

"I like young people the most. In fact, the most important thing in this league is young people. If the league wants to maintain its prosperity, the most important thing is that young people like you need to continuously enter the league..." Stern said with a smile.

"I've watched all of Battelle's games, let's train him well, maybe he will become our signature star in the NBA."

Davidson roughly guessed what Stern meant, and dared to say that the call was not for himself, but for Battelle.

It's nothing more than wanting Davidson to give Battelle more opportunities so that Battelle can have better data.

The better Battelle's performance is, the more he will naturally attract Chinese fans to pay attention to the NBA.

In order to develop the Chinese market, Stern can be said to have dedicated himself.

However, it is naturally impossible for Davidson to believe all of Stern's words. At least Stern said that Battelle will become the next signature star in the NBA. Davidson does not believe it.

……

Regardless of what Stern said, this call is a good thing anyway, which shows that Stern attaches great importance to Battelle's development in the league.

Stern paid attention to it, and Battelle's growth will undoubtedly go smoothly. As long as he doesn't touch the bottom line of the league, even if he can't become a league sign like Jordan in the future, he will definitely be among the top stars.

……

Dad comes to the team about once a week, and there really isn't much need for him in the team right now.
