On December 7, 2003, the afternoon of the second day after the Cavaliers defeated the Grizzlies at home, Chen Xiao met two players from the Cavaliers' new deal during the afternoon routine training.

Former Chicago Bulls defender Jamal Crawford and center player Cory Blunt.

Marshall's salary is higher than Crawford, and the two are definitely not changing one. The Bulls also set up a substitute center for the Cavaliers, with a contract of only one year. Cory Blunt, 34, is 34 years old.

He was the first round pick of the Bulls in 1993 and played 20 games with the Cavaliers in the 9899 season.

He is not a strong man or a moral expert. He is basically a transparent person with a mixture in the NBA.

Perhaps the only highlight of his NBA career is that he once missed the Bulls and Lakers dynasty perfectly.

In 1993, the rookie came to the Bulls and met Jordan's first retirement. He followed his second brother Pippen in the past two years after Jordan retired. After Jordan returned, he was sent to the Lakers by the Bulls. After he left the Bulls, the Bulls started their second dynasty.

After arriving at the Lakers, he stayed until the 9899 season, and was sent to the Cavaliers halfway through the season.

Then after he left, the Lakers opened another dynasty.

Well, leaving before the two dynasties opened is a legendary experience.

Of course, it is impossible for a player who has no highlights in his career to spend ten years in the NBA.

This person's frontcourt rebounds are very good, but they will definitely not be used in the Cavaliers.

His good frontcourt rebounding ability is not enough for him to play with the Cavaliers.

There are too many Cavaliers with strong rebounds in the frontcourt.

So, he himself knew that he could prepare to retire by the Bulls this time.

In fact, after he came to the Cavaliers today, he confirmed that the Cavaliers had no intention of getting anything from him, so he went back to Los Angeles directly.

He will not appear on the Cavaliers' activation list in the future, and he will retire after finishing his contract for the last season.

As for the reason for not being on the team for a long time, of course I was injured. Do I really think that the NBA's injury list is really injured?

Crawford was the No. 8 pick selected by the Cavaliers in 2000, but after being selected, he traded directly to the Chicago Bulls.

Returning to the Cavaliers this time is considered going home.

Of course, judging from the mood of Crawford coming to the Cavaliers, he doesn't want this "going home".

This season, he thought he played well with the Bulls. He averaged 10.7 points and 4.2 assists per game last season, and this season he averaged 15 points and 5 assists per game. However, his shooting percentage has dropped a lot compared to last season. His shooting percentage is still 41.3% last season, and only 39% left this season.

Does this hit rate seem to be very miserable?

Well, it's really miserable, but we have to consider his playing style. His playing style with the Bulls this season has made him even more Mamba.

It is actually not bad to be able to get this hit rate with such a Mamba style.

So don't just look at his hit rate in the Bulls this season, but look at his hit rate in his career in the Bulls.

The shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage of the rookie season are both 35%. As for the rookie season, it is normal. If you don’t adapt to the NBA, you will not be able to compete with the confrontation, and most rookies are almost the same.

In the second season, Jamal Crawford adapted to the NBA. After a little confrontation, he played as a substitute for the Bulls and played role players. His shooting percentage soared to 47.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage soared to 44.8%.

This performance really made the bull happy.

Then in the third season, the Bulls decided to put a burden on Jamal Crawford, no longer letting him be a role player, but to cultivate half-core and half-character. Then, in his style of play, the proportion of Mamba's playing style began to increase, his shooting percentage dropped sharply to 41.3%, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 35.5%.

If Mamba plays with such a high hit rate, he will be really amazing.

This season, his fourth season was already a four-year veteran with the Bulls. His team has a higher status and his style of play. Mamba's shooting ratio has increased again, and his shooting percentage has further declined, with only 39% remaining in the shooting percentage and only 32% in the three-point shooting percentage.

To be honest, Crawford, who was in the Bulls this season, is a bit like Chen Xiao, who was in the Nets in the regular season last season. He has various difficult offenses. Anyway, you don’t think about the efficiency, but the lower limit is also guaranteed, almost 40%.

When other players can't score points, you can score 40% of the shooting rate, which is very powerful.

What's more, Crawford can also control the ball and pass the ball.

The third point the Cavaliers want is Crawford.

What's more, even if Crawford doesn't play singles, he can still be a very efficient role player.

His second season of his career proved that he had the ability to be an efficient open receiver.

This is also the reason why Carlisle agreed to Chen Xiao that he could introduce Crawford.

He has the ability to be a role player around Chen Xiao and James, and also has the ability to play Xia Ji in the gang. In addition to being unable to defend, he perfectly meets the third requirement required by the Cavaliers.

As for the fact that Xia Ji Bada is too low, it is less than 40%.

Man, the boss of the Science and Technology, Xia Ji Bada is only 45% efficient.

In Xia Ji Ba's goal, judging from the hit rate, Crawford is already 80% of the top students in the field.

What else are you not satisfied with?

If Crawford really wants to defend as Chen Xiao at the Nets last season, he reached the NBA average level. The Cavaliers want Crawford, even if the Cavaliers general manager is the brother of the Bulls' vice president, they will not be able to do so.

Therefore, Chen Xiao, Xiao Zhan and Carlisle are all very welcome to Crawford's arrival.

Chen Xiao even personally brought Crawford to meet other Cavaliers players.

As the boss of the team, if you personally take you to meet your new teammates, of course you will treat you as your own. As long as other Cavaliers players still want to be in the team, they still have this little bit of vision. Even those veterans of the salt fish will not give this newcomer a warning.

After personally introducing Crawford to meet other Cavaliers players, Chen Xiao confiscated the No. 1 jersey prepared by the Cavaliers General Manager for Crawford.

"Jim, this jersey is not worthy of Jamal, please give him a No. 8."

“…”

“…”

Chen Xiao finished speaking with a smile, and Crawford and Jim Paxson were both stunned.

By the way, the No. 1 jersey is what Crawford himself wants?

What is the point of suddenly changing No. 1 to No. 8?

Even Crawford himself was surprised. Chen shouldn't have given him a warning, right?

But it doesn't look like it's not?

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't give Crawford a warning.

As the little wolf king Dalius Myers created by Chen Xiao, the jersey he wore was Garnett's No. 21.

As the little snake king Jamal Crawford, who Chen Xiao values ​​very much, the jersey he wore would of course be the No. 8 jersey!

My left wolf king and my right snake king, my war wolf is on my waist and the emperor is on my chest. Of course, I am a person blocking the killing of people, and the Buddha blocking the killing of Buddha!

The little wolf king Dalius Myers, the little wolf warrior Tyson Chandler, and the little emperor Xiao Zhan have returned to his position, and now there is only one little snake king.

Now, Little Snake King, he is here!

How could Chen Xiao let it go?

However, Chen Xiao also knew that Crawford was not a fan of Boss Ko, but a loyal fan of Boss Qiao.

It would be more uncomfortable to have Boss Qiao's loyal fans wear Boss Ke's jersey number than killing them.

Well, in this era, many loyal Qiao fans think that Ke Boss is a traitor among Qiao fans, and they all take it as their mission to be Ke Boss and clean up the portals for Qiao fans, such as Wade.

Ming Ke has emphasized that he is not a fan of Jordan, and even loyal fans like Wade and others do not believe it.

Therefore, Chen Xiao is not an unreasonable person, Chen Xiao gave Crawford the right to choose.

"Jamar, American singles, 10 goals, as long as you win me, I will be Pippen for you. If you lose, you put on the No. 8 jersey and be my little Mamba."

Chen Xiao felt that his bet was still fair.

"Xiao Zhan, this bet is not a problem, isn't it fair?"

“…”

When Chen Xiao asked, Xiao Zhan next to him was stunned.

This is fair?

The bet is fair, and it is even unfavorable to Chen Xiao, but...

I bet with Bill Gates and you, we will compare who is richer, as long as you are richer than me, you will be my Barbie, and if I am richer than you, you will be my dog.

So, you judge, is this bet fair or unfair?

Chen Xiao’s single-handed challenge is invincible?

So let alone Xiao Zhan was speechless about Chen Xiao's bet, the Cavaliers players, Carlisle and Jim Paxson next to him were speechless.

This is so fair!

And just when Xiao Zhan and the others were not talking about it, Crawford was excited.

"If I beat you in one-on-one, are you sure you are Pippen for me?!"

In terms of strength, Crawford is modest, and he is definitely not as good as Chen Xiao.

But I’m sorry, in the one-on-one fight, even if Jordan and Kobe stand in front of him, he has the courage to fight!

Indeed, Crawford's singles are indeed super strong, and he is also super strong in singles.

No joke, the entire NBA, under the rule of playing American singles and only dribbling three times, there are actually not so many players better than Crawford.

At least, if Jane and Crawford are playing American-style singles, they will be abused.
