Chapter 2

Racial discrimination is real in the NBA. Even if many people don't say it, they already have the meaning of discrimination in their hearts.

During Jeremy Lin's draft test, his physical test data was only inferior to that of John Wall among guards, but he regretted losing the draft. In fact, it was a kind of implicit racial discrimination.

However, compared with the future Jeremy Lin, the lateness advantage of being a pure Chinese is not without it.

Carol Dawson hesitated for a long time, but it was the team's professional scout analysis report that finally prompted him to make up his mind.

Behind the late physical measurement data report, there is a more detailed analysis of lateness.

Player Analysis Report:

The player has an astonishing shooting ability, and the range of firepower that covers almost the entire court is unheard of. As long as the ball is shot, he has a hit rate of at least 50%. Even if there is no improvement in the future, he will still be a historical level shooter.

This player is very strong in the perimeter and has a strong willingness to defend. Although his defensive skills are not professional, he has a lot of merit. He can become a perimeter defensive player with strong offense and weak defense, and has certain training value.

From the analysis of the player's test situation, the player has not received professional training, and there is still potential to be tapped in terms of speed.

General comment: The player has almost no offensive ability with the ball, but he has amazing shooting talent. This alone is enough to bet on his future.

As the scout report said, the late shooting talent is amazing, and he has a three-point shooting rate of about [-]% in the case of strong interference. No matter how you look at it, it is worth a gamble.

The NBA has a very detailed registration process. Even if it is a short contract of ten days, it does not mean that it can be signed immediately.

Fortunately, he has already completed the player registration by himself late. If all goes well, he may be able to catch up with the away game against the Lakers on the 7th.

Both parties have a strong willingness to sign a contract. After showing his ability late, he joined the team's training that day, and with his super high shooting percentage, he quickly won the favor of other players.

After all, he is different from other players in the current team. As long as the ball is passed to him, he basically can't even dribble, and he can shoot directly, and his shooting rate is extremely high, which can easily make other players Get an assist.

However, in the process of joint training, being late also exposed some obvious shortcomings.

For example, his passing ability is obviously not enough, the passing intention is very obvious, and it is easy to be intercepted when facing a smart defender.

His offensive ability with the ball is indeed as evaluated, almost equal to zero.

These shortcomings are of course not worth mentioning compared to the advantages brought about by his super long range.

As long as he is on the field, the players facing him will not dare to leave him more than two meters away, which means that the opponent must always mark him, otherwise he will be killed by him.

At the same time, because of his ultra-long shooting range, he has greatly opened up the space on the court, so that Yao Ming will not be so easily double-teamed in the penalty area, and McGrady has more breakthrough space when he holds the ball.

Van Gundy's ability is still very strong, and he quickly thought of some late usages.

For example, using lateness as an offensive end point is a very good choice. Even if someone is defending in front of him, as long as he can throw the ball, he still has a shooting rate close to 50%.

From the point of view of scoring efficiency alone, Late has even become the most efficient player in the team.

Of course, the defensive pressure faced by Yao Ming and McGrady, who are stars, is definitely not comparable to being late.

On the afternoon of January 1th, the game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers was only a few hours away. The official website of the Houston Rockets released the news: The team signed a non-draft player with a ten-day short contract late (late), The player will wear the No. 7 jersey to represent the Rockets in the next game.

At the same time as the news was released, fans can also see the late information on the team's official website.

Slightly different from his physical test report, the team falsely reported the height of the late registration.

With a real height of 186.7, his height in the official information has become 191cm, and his wingspan has also become 198cm.

In fact, false reporting of height and wingspan is very common in the NBA, and most people report higher. For example, Allen Iverson, his real height should be around 178-180cm, but he reported 183, and Happy Beast Howard is similar, no Knowledgeable people think he is a tall center who can run and jump, but in fact this guy is about 206cm tall, a standard power forward figure.

Of course, there are also strange things that report their height lower. For example, the famous iron-blooded wolf king Garnett, his real height should be around 215cm. Because he is unwilling to play a center forward, he reported himself a height of 211cm.The little emperor LeBron James, whose real height is about the same as Warcraft, but because he is unwilling to play power forward, he also reported the standard small forward height of 203cm.

Because the game is about to start soon, not many people have noticed this new message on the official website.

The ten-day late contract actually proves that the Rockets value him.

Some fans may not know that in the NBA, sometimes ten-day short contracts are even easier to get opportunities than those non-guaranteed contracts.

Because in most cases, the ten-day short contract is used to sign some main players who are used to replace the injured, it is naturally easier to get a chance to prove yourself on the field.

Through the ten-day short contract, there are quite a few players. The most familiar Chinese fans should be the short center Hayes, nicknamed Haiye. With his pretty good defensive ability, he even played during Yao Ming's injury. , became the starting main center of the Houston Rockets, of course, he has not entered the NBA yet.

Before the start of the game, Late entered the team's roster as expected.

This season's Los Angeles Lakers, after a failed Big Four season, the entire team fell apart. Of the original Big Four, only the little blacksmith Kobe Bryant stayed. , The Los Angeles Lakers achieved a good result of 30 wins and 16 losses in the first 14 rounds, and are currently one game ahead of the Houston Rockets who have played 32 rounds.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the Los Angeles Lakers' home game at the Staples Center, the Rockets' away game against the Lakers in Los Angeles officially started.

This season, Yao Ming began to step into the peak slowly, becoming the top center in the league second only to O'Neal, and almost all the Rockets' games were broadcast in China.

The commentators for this game were Lao Sun and Lao Zhang. The two had cooperated for some years and still had a good understanding, especially Lao Zhang, who was called Weiping Bryant in the world and was the number one player in China.

Los Angeles Lakers starters: Kobe Bryant, Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Chucky Atkins, Chris Mim.

Houston Rockets starters: Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Bob Sura, Juwan Howard, David Wesley.

The Lakers jumped the ball to win, and the ball was quickly transferred to Kobe Bryant. The little blacksmith broke through with the ball. How could the 35-year-old veteran David Wesley stop the little blacksmith who is now at his peak.

Kobe Bryant rushed into the three-point line, made a large two-pointer with a picturesque posture, and responded with a bang, and the number of strikes increased by one.

Huo Erye with high salary and low ability grabbed the rebound. The Rockets, uncharacteristically, only took four seconds to advance to the frontcourt. After Yao Ming entered the basket, he lobbed the ball in.

Caron Butler couldn't stop Yao Ming's sitting attack at all, so he had to foul and Yao Ming got two free throw opportunities.

Taking advantage of the chance of free throws, the camera turned to the benches on both sides. The fiery Lao Sun and Lao Zhang who were chatting hotly had sharp eyes, and in the flash of the camera, they noticed that they were late.

Old Sun: "Hey, Director Zhang, I seem to see that there is a Chinese in the Rockets' bench."

Lao Zhang: "Old Sun, you read that right, I saw it too, but I don't know whether this is a Chinese player or a Chinese player."

It's no wonder that these two people didn't think of countries like Japan and South Korea at all. Although the Chinese men's basketball team is not good in the world, compared with the men's football team next door, it is really a heaven and an underground.At least the men's basketball team can dominate Asia. In fact, almost only Chinese men's basketball players in Asia have the level of playing in the NBA.

So when they saw an Asian substitute on the sidelines, the two immediately determined that this person must be a Chinese.

So this game, which has already attracted countless eyes, has attracted more Chinese people's attention.

Compared with the Rockets games in China, TNT TV station also pays a lot of attention to lateness-because there are really almost no Asian players in the NBA, but they are different from domestic ones, and TNT quickly got them. The player's information, seeing the late registration information, quickly lost interest in this Asian player.

Sports are very physical, especially in the NBA, which is a place where Superman walks everywhere. Without amazing athletic ability, it is almost impossible to gain a foothold in this league.

At this time, the game on the court was played back and forth, and the offensive efficiency of both sides was not high, especially the Lakers, who felt extremely bad at the beginning.

The time came to 6:50, and the score between the two sides was 7:6.

If you look at it ten years later, this score is astonishingly low. However, the Rockets are a team that focuses on defense. Sometimes they can’t even score 80 points in a game. The FIBA ​​rules of the second rule are not much higher.

No. 3 Bob Sura accumulated two fouls, Van Gundy signaled a substitution, and No. 66 was late to replace No. 3 Bob Sura.

This substitution was very unexpected. In fact, Van Gundy's substitution time has always been criticized. Unless it is a last resort, he will replace with a fixed player at a fixed time and never adjust according to the situation on the court.

But late didn't pay attention to this at all. He stood impatiently on the sidelines, clapped his hands with Bob Sura, and ran into the court.
