NBA: The strongest physical talent, the inside is king

It's April now.

The regular season of the 2003-2004 season is coming to an end!

In the West, the F4 super battleship composed of O'Neal, Kobe, Karl Malone and Gary Payton of the Lakers has already regarded this season's championship as a sure thing!

In the East, young coach Rick Carlisle is continuing to unleash his coaching talent in the Pacers, making the Pacers' regular season record the best in the league this season!

And the team Carlisle coached last season was the Pistons!

This season, the Pistons, after Larry Brown took over, are holding back their energy to do something big!

...

Houston.

Yao Ming finished his second season of the regular season at home!

After the regular season ended this season, the Rockets ranked 7th in the West!

Yao Ming tasted the playoffs for the first time!

But their luck was a bit bad, and they had to face the powerful Lakers in the first round!

Yao Ming's goal is to win a game!

This season, Yao Ming has grown very fast and has become the Rockets' leading scorer!

At the same time, he has also become the tactical core!

A few days ago, Oakley found Yao Ming and mentioned Wang Ke's matter, but Yao Ming didn't pay attention!

A Chinese American, Yao Ming felt that he had nothing to do with him!

All his energy is now on his first playoff journey in the league!

...

Miami.

Wang Zhizhi ended his fourth season in the league.

This season, he was traded to the Heat after only two appearances with the Clippers!

Fortunately, Wang Zhizhi caught the last train of the Heat's 12-man playoff roster!

He will have his third playoff journey!

However, Wang Zhizhi didn't have any happiness in his heart!

For the future, Wang Zhizhi only has confusion!

Motherland, can I go back...

...

Atlanta.

Dwight Howard of Christian Academy High School officially announced that he would skip college and directly participate in the new season's draft!

As soon as this news came out, the media was boiling!

In the past high school league, almost every game of Howard was crowded with scouts from colleges and league teams!

Howard was now considered to have both the footwork of an inside player and the ball-handling skills of an outside player!

Especially his physical talent, which was extremely explosive!

Almost reached the level of the [Four Great Centers]!

In the high school league that just ended, Howard played an explosive data of 25.3 points, 18.5 rebounds, 8.3 blocks and 3.5 assists per game!

"He has booked the No. 1 pick!"

Many media published such headlines on the second day!

If all goes well, Howard will become the third No. 1 high school student in the history of the league!

The first two were Kwame Brown and LeBron James!

One is out of water!

The other is on the road to becoming GOAT!

...

Chicago.

Jordan, who was unwilling to be lonely after retiring, was organizing a charity game!

A group of old friends gathered together!

"Hey! Charles!"

"You look a little haggard!"

"Are you still running for that kid?"

"I really don't know what to say to you!"

Jordan saw the slightly tired Oakley coming and stepped forward to hug him!

"Oh! Another Charles is here!"

"Hey! Fatty!"

Jordan didn't give Oakley a chance to speak, and went over to hug Barkley again!

"What are you talking about?"

"Is there another superstar in the league?"

"Why don't I know?"

Barkley bumped fists with Jordan and Oakley respectively!

"A very talented kid!"

"I'll tell you more later!"

Oakley smiled and shook his head.

At this time, the players who once dominated an era arrived one after another!

Ewing! Larry Johnson! Dell Curry! Rodman!

Jordan hugged them one by one!

It is a very happy thing to see these old friends!

"Isn't Scottie here?"

"He? Forget it! I won't mention him today!"

"You two really are!"

Jordan waved his hand.

Pippen played his last season with the Bulls this season and has announced his retirement!

It stands to reason that this charity game was held in Chicago, and Pippen, as an important member of Jordan's road to godhood, should come to support him!

But it is obvious that there seems to be some small cracks between Pippen and Jordan!

It has not been made up until now!

Jordan attaches great importance to this charity game and holds it at a high standard!

Many retired stars were invited, as well as some stars who missed the playoffs this season!

At the same time, Jordan also invited two top picks for next season, Dwight Howard and Emeka Okafor!

And some potential players in the lottery area: Ben Gordon! Shaun Livingston! Devin Harris! Luol Deng! And Iguodala!

As for Rafael Aluyu, he was directly ignored by Jordan!

Because Jordan has learned that Rafael Aluyu was pressed to the ground by the amateur Wang Ke in a commercial game in Charlotte!

Jordan really doesn't like such players!

The participation of many potential lottery rookies also made scouts from various teams rush to Chicago!

Such a game may not be played at a very high level, but at least it can show one aspect of the potential rookies!

The draft is like scratching a lottery ticket. The more detailed the investigation of the rookies, the higher the probability of winning the grand prize!

The venue for this event is also the United Center, the home of the Bulls.

This will also be Jordan's first return to the United Center after his retirement!

As we all know, when Jordan retired from the Bulls for the second time, he had a very unhappy relationship with the management of the Bulls!

General Manager Jerry Krause became the biggest villain of Jordan's "The Last Dance"!

Jordan also refused to return to the United Center for this reason!

Even though the Bulls retired Jordan's jersey and erected a statue of Jordan in front of the United Center!

This time, Jordan seemed to be deliberately easing relations with the Bulls management!

It's easy to understand!

Jordan is moving towards the team owner!

After the change of position, the perspective is naturally different!

The game will be held in three days.

That night, after a grand dinner, Oakley approached Jordan again.

"I know what you are going to say!"

"It's all ready for you, old man!"

Jordan took out an invitation from his pocket!

With this invitation, you can participate in this charity game!

"Thanks!"

Oakley smiled, and the fatigue on his face seemed to have dissipated a lot!

"This time I invited many lottery picks. It's no exaggeration to say that this is a joint tryout!"

"Many scouts have already come here!"

"The opportunity has been given to him!"

"I don't care whether he can seize it or not!"

"I can only help here!"

"You will definitely say that there are too few opportunities. Just this game may not be able to show his ability!"

"Charles, I know there are many talented players who don't even have a chance!"

"He is already lucky!"

"By the way! Recently, Larry and Dell also talked to me about that kid!"

"And Patrick!"

"I am really interested in him!"

Jordan patted Oakley on the shoulder and walked away with a smile.

In the afternoon, Larry Johnson and Dell Curry came together to ask for a place for Wang Ke!

[Auntie] Larry Johnson is also a basketball legend in Charlotte. He was pulled by Dell Curry to support Wang Ke!

Then Ewing came over to say hello!

This is very interesting!

A pure amateur player can get the attention of so many retired stars!

This makes Jordan feel very interesting!

However, Wang Ke's identity as a loan shark still makes Jordan subconsciously not want to help too much!

In American high schools and universities, and even on the streets, there are really too many talented players!

Even if Wang Ke is gifted, what's wrong?

Sometimes Jordan can't figure out why Oakley cares so much about Wang Ke!

This can only be attributed to Oakley being too bored after retirement and always wanting to find something to do!

But Oakley is not interested in the various business activities introduced by Jordan!

It can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions!

With the annual dividends from the sneaker contract, Oakley will not fall into an economic crisis!

Jordan didn't care about that!

...

"Wang! Pack your things and come to Chicago as soon as possible!"

"Do you have the money for the plane ticket? If not, I'll call you!"

"You have won the opportunity to participate in Michael's charity game!"

"Let's talk about the rest after you come!"

When Wang Ke received Oakley's call, he was stunned!

Jordan's charity game?

Of course Wang Ke knew!

These days, sports newspapers are full of reports related to this charity game!

Jordan's influence in the basketball world is needless to say!

More importantly, this charity game will have a large number of retired, active and upcoming draft players participating!

In a sense, this is an All-Star game!

This is completely different from the commercial games Wang Ke participated in before.It's totally different!

Wang Ke also saw in the newspaper that Howard and Okafor, the top picks for next season, will participate!

They will both be top inside players in the league in the future!

Especially Master Huo, although his work is a little rough, he can be traded for James in his peak period!

Am I going to compete with them?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wang Ke felt his heart beating uncontrollably!

"Can I do it..."

Wang Ke clenched his fists.

This is an opportunity!

A real opportunity!

It may also be the only opportunity!

In front of many media, fans, and scouts, if he performs well, he may make a big splash!

Similarly, if he performs poorly, he may permanently lose the opportunity to enter the league!

Wang Ke knew at this time that Oakley, the good brother, was constantly running for him!

But in the final analysis, Wang Ke believed that Oakley was just repaying the [life-saving grace]!

Oakley has already repaid this favor more than enough!

Just coaching Wang Ke in training for more than a month is enough to offset it!

After Wang Ke missed an opportunity, there is no reason for Oakley to continue to fight for opportunities for Wang Ke!

In an instant, Wang Ke felt a huge pressure coming!

It made him a little breathless!

"Hu——!"

Wang Ke took a deep breath, then walked out of the door and came to the next door.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

"Claudia!"

"Can you come and stay with me for a while?"

The door opened, and Claudia appeared in front of Wang Ke.

She looked up at Wang Ke and smiled, then habitually lowered her head and looked at her toes.

Wang Ke walked back to the house holding Claudia's hand, and the angry curse of Senior Irving came from behind!

"What time is it! It's so late!"

"Go, go! Don't come back at night if you have the guts!"

"Wang! I'm watching you!"

"F**k!"

"That's my sister!"

"Is she going to become someone else's family..."

"What about me..."

"Gulp!"

"Cough cough cough!"

Senior Irving took a gulp of liquor and started coughing violently!

He didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy!
