NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 59 Beautiful imagination!

As the 32-to-16 tournament comes to an end, the draft prediction list has been updated.

Thanks to his outstanding performance with Connecticut, Xue Liancheng soared from the 57th pick in the second round to the 44th pick in the second round.

Although it is still the second round, the progress is not obvious.

When the news was sent back to China, it still caused quite a stir.

Since Yi Jianlian retired from the NBA in 2012, a Chinese face finally appeared in the NBA after two years, which naturally attracted the attention of fans.

Many domestic media people are also making various predictions about Xue Liancheng's prospects.

The general view now is that Xue Liancheng can enter the NBA, but he is probably just an ordinary rotation player, or even an end player in the rotation, and his living environment is very harsh.

This is almost a consensus.

Especially Mr. Yang, the father of 58, said bluntly: Xue Liancheng's NBA prospects are not as good as Sun Yue's. Sun Yue still has a body and has potential to be tapped. Whether his physical condition is suitable for the intensity of the NBA is a problem. For example, his speed is easy to be passed by in one step. Which coach would dare to let him play such a player?In addition, his strength advantage, confrontation advantage, is no longer an advantage in the NBA...

Balabala said a lot.

Typical talent theory and potential theory.

In fact, we cannot say that Mr. Yang is wrong, because in fact, the NBA and the NCAA are indeed different.

Many players who excelled in the NCAA were ignored by everyone after entering the NBA because their physical talents could not support them, and they were eventually eliminated by the NBA.

The typical example is Shabazz Napier.

He led Connecticut all the way through, showed great power, and finally won the tournament MOP. He was so high-spirited in the NCAA, but after he entered the NBA, he lost himself.

The reason is that his advantages no longer exist in the NBA, and his lack of physical talent has reduced him to mediocrity.

Another point is that in the NCAA, he is the core style of play, and all tactics revolve around him. In this way, his shortcomings will be covered up, and his advantages will be infinitely magnified.

In the NBA, he is just a role player, which causes everything to be reversed. His shortcomings will be infinitely magnified, but his advantages will be gone.

Coupled with the different playing styles and positioning, which made him unable to adapt, as well as the psychological gap and inability to integrate into the team, etc., this new star fell completely after struggling for two years.

Mr. Yang’s argument is based on this aspect.

Over this period of time, Xue Liancheng has actually become accustomed to this.

Because of his mediocre physical talent, he is either being looked down upon or on the way to being looked down upon.

From being unable to play, to being unable to perform consistently, to being unable to enter the NBA, to now being unable to adapt even if he enters the NBA, he has been breaking people's doubts about him.

People have been questioning him with new standards, endlessly and endlessly.

Even someone as strong as Jordan achieved greatness step by step despite doubts.

Such as data brushing, not being able to pass the first round, arrogance, being harsh on teammates, never winning a championship in life, and then being unable to win consecutive championships, fearing that the Jordan myth will be shattered (retiring for the first time to play baseball after establishing a dynasty), and finally creating a second dynasty.

Ok?

Danzi has experienced doubts, and he is also experiencing doubts.

Danzi≈him?

Xue Liancheng thought so.

but.

Not everyone looks down on him. Yu Jia made it clear that his three-point ability can quickly help him gain a foothold in the NBA.

If you practice defense well in the future and have good vision, you can definitely occupy a starting position and even have a chance to become the core point guard.

Ok?

This argument is generally considered by netizens to be a beautiful imagination.

Xue Liancheng thought: This young man Yu Jia has good vision.

All kinds of domestic disturbances have not affected Xue Liancheng's offseason training at all.

The season is over.

All members of the Indiana Mountain Men, just do what you have to do.

Xue Liancheng did not return to China, but spent time at the Indiana Basketball Stadium.

Uh……

There is also a human shield sparring partner.

——Noah Vonleh.

……

……

Indiana University.

Basketball Hall.

"I'm so tired. Let's take a rest first." Feng Lai, who was sweating profusely, shouted.

Regardless of whether Xue Liancheng agreed or not, he quickly walked to the sidelines.

Xue Liancheng said disdainfully, "When I went to the nightclub to stay up all night, I didn't notice you complaining about being tired."

He felt that Feng Lai was the kind of person who was chased by God to feed him but refused to eat.

If such a good physical talent can be fully developed, future achievements will never be low.

But Feng Lai didn't know how to cherish it.

If he has such physical talent, plus an incredible hang...

Ok?

Seems a bit greedy.

"Can this be the same?" Feng Lai rolled his eyes.

"Yes, there is indeed a difference between having fun and improving yourself." Xue Liancheng couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"Xue, can we have a good talk."

Feng Lai's old face turned slightly red, but he insisted, "I just want to see the result of the draw, I'm not being lazy."

"As you wish, don't disturb me."

Xue Liancheng left this sentence and walked over to turn on the shooting machine.

Feng Lai couldn't practice confrontation during the rest, so he would practice shooting.

After all, after the lottery is over, many teams will arrange trial training one after another.

He must seize this precious time, maintain good condition, and strive to give a good impression to the team that is training him.

"Aren't you curious at all about who will get the No. 1 pick?" Feng Lai was very surprised.

"It has nothing to do with me..." Xue Liancheng said speechlessly.

He is a predicted second-round pick, which team can get what pick, really has little to do with him.

of course.

Most importantly, he knew the results of the lottery very well, so he naturally had no interest in paying attention.

"Don't be so boring, take a guess." Feng Lai said enthusiastically.

Xue Liancheng asked while shooting, "What are the benefits?"

"Benefits? What benefits do you want?" Feng Lai asked with a smile.

"I guessed it right, you can apply to old man Kelin and let me use the training equipment." Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows and said.

This offseason, in addition to practicing shooting and confrontation, he also wants to use equipment to train flexibility, strength, footwork, physical fitness, etc.

He wants to improve himself overall.

The school equipment is not for public use.

For personal use, you must apply.

"Okay! You guessed it, I'll apply."

Feng Lai didn't hesitate at all and agreed, "But you only have two chances."

"Cleveland Cavaliers." Xue Liancheng smiled and showed his cards directly.

"What? Are you kidding?" Feng Lai was stunned.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a record of 33 wins and 49 losses this season. Although they are very weak, they are also ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference.

Ninth-worst in the entire league.

Winning the No. 1 pick was outrageously low.

"They have had good luck in drawing lots in recent years, and I am optimistic about them." Xue Liancheng said.

Feng Lai was completely speechless: "..."

What bullshit reason is this?
