NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 258
Drexler's injury caused Petrie to be criticized by many Kings fans.

Originally, they were not optimistic about this deal. Now that Drexler had just finished a game, he suffered an injury that required him to recuperate for more than a month. This must have damaged the King's strength.

The defending champion does not dismantle the lineup, which is the consensus of all champion teams.

The fans' accusations, of course, will not have any impact on Petrie, it just damages Petrie's face.

Davidson didn't bother to join the crowd in criticizing Petrie, because he knew that Petrie's future would be more and more difficult.

It is very likely that he will not be able to work for too long as the general manager of the Kings.

……

In the next few games, although Drexler was missing, it was not a big problem. After all, there was Christie on the bench who could replace Drexler, and the replacement effect was quite good.

Nash will also be referred to the second position by Davidson from time to time, allowing Cassel to play the team's main control.

The Kings began to maintain a winning streak again at the beginning, but this winning streak is definitely not as easy as before. Barkley is already a year older, and it is already a bit difficult on the court.

If it's a positional battle, Barkley is okay. Now that he is playing fast break, Barkley can only grit his teeth and persist.

……

In mid-November, Davidson got a call.

It is none other than Gong Luming, the head coach of the men's basketball team who led the Chinese men's basketball team to the Olympics.

For this coach, Davidson is naturally very impressed.

Speaking of the coaching group of Chinese basketball, Davidson feels that Gong Luming may be the most capable one.

From 91 to 95, he always assisted Jiang Xingquan. There was no such thing as a teaching assistant in the men's basketball team at that time, but Gong Luming's nature at that time was almost that of a teaching assistant.

In the past few years, he has won three Asian Championships and one World Championship No.8.

Then in the next 96 years, this time Gong Luming served as the head coach of the men's basketball team and led the team to the fourth place in the Olympic Games.

Of course, if the bus hadn't evolved, its performance would not have been so outstanding.

Under normal circumstances, it is the result of No.8.

It is equivalent to saying that in the past two years, the men's basketball team has played eighth in international competitions twice, all of which are historic good results.

In these two good results, Gong Luming was indispensable.

……

The other party called Davidson, meaning that he wanted to lead men's basketball players to Saramento to learn more and prepare for the next 98 World Championships.

Davidson naturally nodded and agreed, and this was nothing to embarrass him.

Besides, he really wanted to get in touch with these boys basketball players.

Davidson was quite impressed with the young man named Da Zhi introduced by Gong Luming last time.

The performance in the Olympics is quite good. Anyway, in Davidson's view, this is definitely a good seed to become a bound player.

……

Two days later, Davidson picked up the men's basketball team at the airport with the bus and others.

Gong Luming led the team, and almost all the members of the men's basketball team came this time.

Being able to observe the daily training of NBA players at the closest distance is definitely a good opportunity for men's basketball members to improve themselves.

And the players they observed were last season's championship players, which is even more meaningful.

So even though the CBA league was playing, the members of the men's basketball team took leave one after another to join this trip to the United States.

And the CBA teams are also quite cooperative, after all, they also want their players to become stronger.

……

Seeing the men's basketball team again, Davidson felt very cordial.

"Hello Coach Dai." A group of people greeted Davidson one after another.

Davidson also greeted everyone with a smile, and finally his eyes rested on Dazhi.

A year has passed, Da Zhi seems to have matured a bit, but his body still looks thin.

"Big Zhi, you need to train your body well, or you will be easily injured after entering the NBA." Davidson joked at Da Zhi.

Big Zhi's face is full of smiles, this is not the first time Davidson has said that he can enter the NBA.

It can be said that being able to play in the NBA is the dream of [-]% of professional basketball players.

Money, glory, fame, self-improvement, there is everything a professional player needs in the NBA.

Dazhi is no exception.

……

With a group of people, Davidson found a French restaurant and invited them to have a meal of foreign meat.

Chinese people have the habit of talking about things while eating, and this time is no exception.

Gong Luming was sitting next to Davidson, and said in a low voice, "Coach Dai, do you think the next NBA draft, which is the 98 draft, will Da Zhi be able to participate?"

Although Gong Luming's voice was low, it still made the scene quiet, and Dazhi stared at Davidson with wide eyes.

"How old is Big Zhi this year?" Davidson asked.

The next draft in 98 was completely different from that in 95.

In 95, there were no rules at all. In 98, there were still requirements for foreign players.

“77年7月份生人的，等到98年6月的时候，肯定够19周岁了。”宫鲁鸣笑着说道。

Apparently, Gong Luming also learned about the rules of the draft, knowing that if he is under 19 years old, he cannot participate in the draft.

Davidson nodded. If he is old enough, then there must be no problem.

But if you want to be selected with a high pick, it will be more difficult.

"It is possible to participate in the election, but the draft pick is not expected to be very high, so we must be prepared for this." Davidson said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter, isn't the pick of the bus not high? The pick can only determine the starting point. Whether it can be played or not depends on the individual's ability. I believe that Dazhi will definitely be able to play." Gong Luming obviously has a lot of confidence in Dazhi.

Davidson nodded. There was nothing wrong with what Gong Luming said. The draft position really can only determine the starting point of a player.

Sometimes the starting point is too high, and it may not be a good thing.

If the starting point is too high, the hopes placed will naturally be high. Once the expectations are not met, the mentality of the players will definitely be affected.

"That's right, this is very incisive, so let's run for the election."

"But I remember that Dazhi is also playing in the professional league now, right? Can his team let him go?" Davidson asked again.

"Coach Dai, don't worry, the basketball team has benefited from the bus. With the bus, we almost won the medal. What if there are two buses? Maybe we can really win the trophy, not to mention the gold medal, at least there is hope for the bronze or silver medal..."

"Since Coach Dai thinks he can participate in the election, the basketball manager will definitely inform the Bayi team. It won't do if they don't let them go. In the face of national interests, the interests of the team are nothing." Gong Luming said with a smile.

Davidson nodded. From Gong Luming's words, he clearly understood the current situation of basketball in China.

Because the bus played in the NBA, compared with when it did not enter the NBA, the improvement in strength was extremely huge, and it helped the men's basketball team achieve the best results in history.

So now the basketball team is not at all opposed to domestic players coming to the United States to play. After all, there is already a bus. If there are two buses, the men's basketball team can really win a precious medal, let alone.

The gold content of the three-ball medal is too high.

Even if there are two less gold medals in other events, as long as you can get the medals of the three major goals, it is absolutely worthwhile.
