Chapter 578 Unprovable talent and provable effort!(1/2)

On June 28, 2008, the second day of the draft, when the NBA was crazy about four completely different centers selected by Jordan in the first draft, Chen Xiao had already returned to Charlotte with Rose and the four King Kongs behind him.

Chen Xiao walked in front, Ross followed Chen Xiao later on Chen Xiao's right, while DeAndre Jordan, Roy Hibert, Robin Lopez and Brooke Lopez were following behind them in uniform black suits.

When Chen Xiao took them out of the airport, the Charlotte media and Bobcat fans who were waiting for them were shocked.

For a moment, I forgot to welcome.

I can only say that Chen Xiao’s group of six people have too strong aura!

Let’s not talk about whether the four big men selected by Jordan this year’s draft will be useful in the future. At least, being a security guard is definitely scary enough.

For a moment, in the minds of Bobcat fans and Charlotte media, the Bobcat with problematic children seemed to be back!

The Bobcats have five first-round picks in this year's draft, and four are very high-end.

So before the draft, Bobcats fans and Charlotte's reporters were definitely the most anticipated groups, but Jordan's crazy behavior in this draft made them turn all their expectations into the same shock as other NBA fan experts media.

They wouldn't say that Jordan wasted Chen Xiao's peak career. Barkley said that Jordan was crazy this time and returned to normal levels. Of course, they would definitely not say that.

Although what Barkley said makes sense, no matter how many centers you choose, only one can be played, not to mention that your team also has a quasi-All-star talent player Bynum. Although Bynum is a little bit stupid, it is not impossible to use it.

It would be better to trade this draft pick if you waste such a draft pick.

If the Bobcats' trading rights to choose centers are given out, they can go to the Pistons to exchange Starkey, Celtics to exchange Noah, and even the Magic to exchange Ginobili, and even exchange these players. Even if Starkey is the godson of Choudumas, Noah is the godson of Danny Angie, and Ginobili is Duncan's little brother. These players, no matter who they replace, can directly improve the Bobcats' strength. It is not useful to choose four centers that may not be able to play in the rookie season?

Some people also say that Jordan chose so many players of different styles to deal with Yao Ming and to motivate Bynum.

But Barkley's other words seemed to be true: "Basketball games are not group fights. At the same time, if Bynum is a rookie, Jordan is too proud of these rookies and too underestimated Bynum. In my opinion, Jordan was scared by the performances of the Heat and Yao this year's playoffs!"

After the Bobcats selected a bunch of centers in the draft, Barkley could be said to have led a wave of offensives against Boss Qiao, and also tried to take Xiaomi to attack Boss Qiao together.

And there are really many Xiaomi who are willing to follow Barkley to attack Boss Qiao.

After all, Barkley's performances have been very successful over the years, and everyone says he is the loyal Xiaomi.

Therefore, this time, Charlotte's media and Bobcats fans welcomed Chen Xiao and the others with the greatest enthusiasm, and also expressed their support for Jordan's behavior in the draft that others thought was "brain-dead".

Anyway, for Bobcats fans and Charlotte's media, no matter what decision Chen Xiao and Jordan make, they support it.

Therefore, after being briefly shocked by Chen Xiao and his team's aura, the Bobcat fans at the scene sent deafening cheers and applause to welcome their current and future heroes back.

Jordan's four shock bombs exploded in the NBA draft in 2008. After Chen Xiao brought the five rookies selected by the Bobcats back to Charlotte, he discussed some preparations for next season with Jordan. Chen Xiao's time was actually quite fast.

After all, this year is the Olympic year, and it is the Olympics in the capital. No Chinese players such as Chen Xiao and Yao Dayao are not looking forward to this year's local Olympics.

They are all looking forward to it.

Therefore, although the national team gave Chen Xiao and Yao a lot of holidays, it would be fine to go to the national team to report in mid-July, but in fact, after participating in the 2008 draft, Yao directly took Andy Lau and Brother Wang and other Chinese players back to the national team to report.

Now, Chen Xiao is the only one who stays outside the national team.

Of course, Chen Xiao’s situation is special, but no matter how special it is, it is not as special as Yao Yao?

Yao Yao just played in the finals and won the FMVP. He didn't even have a rest. After participating in the championship celebration and Andy Lau's draft, he left the United States.

Chen Xiao actually wanted to follow Yao Yao to return to China directly, but there are indeed many things happening to Bobcat this year.

First of all, the Bobcats have selected five rookies this year. How to deal with these five rookies?

They are all in the first round and they must be given a contract.

However, the Bobcats don't have that trick to give these five new radishes.

The Bobcats now also have 15 players with contracts including Chen Xiao, Barnes, Bynum, Granger, Francisco Garcia, Jaletjack, Iliasova, Gott, Roy, Aldridge, Danny Gibson, Feshenko, Livingston, Bathir, Lowry, etc.

Therefore, the Bobcats must make five places for these five rookies, or give them out.

This is definitely not possible. As soon as Chen Xiao returned to Charlotte, Jordan told him that he was very fond of all the five rookies selected by the Bobcats this year.

Chen Xiao also did not agree to sending a few of these five people away. In this era, excellent centers are really scarce.

Therefore, after drawing cards, you should also try whether it is really useful. If it is really useful, you will make a lot of money. Chen Xiao is reluctant to let the Bobcats give them away.

As for Ross, it must be even worse.

Therefore, we can only select people from the existing 15 people.

Chen Xiao, Granger, Roy, Bynum, Barnes, Bathir, Aldridge, Daniel Gibson, these eight are not sold.

And the remaining seven, Garcia, Jack, Iliasova, Gott, Feshenko, Livingston, Lowry...

Feishenko has finished drawing cards last season, and it is indeed a scrap card. Now it must not be kept and sent away. Change whatever you can.

Livingston's rookie contract expires this year, and Jordan and Bobcats have no plans to renew him. Bobcats use the renewal right of the rookie contract to end for Livingston, which is a loss, several million dollars. According to Livingston's current market conditions, it is a non-guaranteed contract, so Bobcats will definitely give up on renewing the contract and let him be free.

Apart from Feshenko and Livingston, Jordan was reluctant to let go of the other five.

But no matter how reluctant he is, Garcia, Iliasova, Jack, Gotat, Lowry, and all five of them will give up three.

Who should I give up?

This is very confusing. Garcia, Jack and Gott are both players who have played names in the NBA, while Lowry and Iliasova are young people with basically no transaction value.

And this is also the reason why Jordan is confused.

Because he really has no choice.

When trading Lowry and Iliasova, the Bobcats can't get anything.

So, if you really want to send it away for the benefit you get from the transaction, it must be Jack, Gott and Garcia.

And these three players are very important role players in the Bobcats in these seasons.

Of course, the situation is slightly different now.

For example, Jack, Jack has always been Roy's assistant before. After Xiao Cannon was traded, he even had the opportunity to compete for the team. However, no one expected that Daniel Gibson would suddenly rise in this year's playoffs.

Although Gibson's personal ability is not as good as Jack, his shooting, especially three-pointers, is really accurate!

After the Bobcats had two super strong independent attackers, Chen Xiao and Roy, Gibson was easier to use than Jack. Gibson did not take the ball rights, could do it by catching the ball, and could also pull space, and had strong shooting stability.

So, after Gibson's rise, Jack's position in the Bobcats became awkward.

Gott is also very embarrassed now. The Bobcats got four centers at once. How did he deal with it?

The center is too short and the power forward is too slow. The Bobcats now have four different styles of centers to choose from. Gott's position as the first inside substitute is a bit awkward.

Garcia and Garcia's embarrassment comes from Batil.

Before Batil came, Garcia was one of the most important forward substitutes for the Bobcats. She was able to defend and have three-pointers, which was very useful. However, now the Bobcats have a comprehensive enhanced version of Batil, which makes it difficult for Garcia to get the position of the Bobcats now.

His appearance on the front line is far inferior to Granger, Battier and Barnes.

So, Jordan really has no choice.

Although it is rare to be an excellent player in the NBA, in the face of the current situation of the Bobcats, he can only cruelly trade these three players who have already played value in the Bobcats and slowly traded them out in the Bobcats' position.

Chen Xiao has great decision-making power for the Bobcats’ transactions and personnel changes. If Chen Xiao is unwilling to trade who is among the three, Chen Xiao can naturally forcefully leave one of them.

But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was unnecessary.

Jack's departure may reduce the power of the Bobcats' independent attack on the outside, but at the same time, it can also allow Lowry to replace him.

Gott's departure made the Bobcats' thickness at the power forward position, but Lopez could also play the power forward, even Ilyasova.

Although Garcia's departure will also reduce the thickness of the front line, Iliasova can also top it.

Therefore, Chen Xiao didn't think much of the departure of these three people. Perhaps leaving was good for both Bobcats and themselves.

But to Livingston's departure...

Chen Xiao had some different views.

Livingston did not play a single game after coming to the Bobcats due to injury.

But, this is a pretty hard-working player.

Chen Xiao is just a player who works hard like this. Chen Xiao always feels that such players should be given a chance.

Livingston was seriously injured. When he could play, basically no team would be interested in him. In other words, no matter how hard he worked, no one would give him a chance.

Historically, Livingston did have a hard time after giving his efforts. He was first signed by the Grizzlies, then cut off by the Grizzlies, and then ran to find the Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves, but the two teams ignored him at all. In the end, he had to go to the Heat.

Why did he end up running to the Heat?

Because his agent is Henry Thomas, Wade's agent and Wade's benefactor.

It can be seen that even when he was at the end of his life, he still maintained his pride and wanted to win respect with his own strength. After all, he was a little magician and a purse, and he had his pride that belonged to a genius.

There was really no way, so he finally accepted the unspoken rules and signed with the Heat for two years, with an annual salary of less than 400,000 NBA beggar salary.

Well, the Heat is actually just sending beggars.

Although he was not respected or valued at the Heat because he came through the backdoor, he still has some basic playing time, and Wade also needs to give face.

It is precisely because of these few games that people can see that he is indeed healthy, so many teams have become more interested in gambling on him. After all, the little magician and the penny are quite attractive.

Then, Livingston entered the cycle of being gambling, abandoned, gambling, and abandoned, and finally went to the Warriors, and finally bloomed briefly in the Warriors.

A player can spend 15 years in the NBA. This is very successful for an NBA player with an average of less than 5 years of age, but for his talent and hard work, these fifteen years have been too hard.

Chen Xiao’s attention to Livingston is not a flood of Virgin’s heart.

Instead, Wade's agent Henry Thomas hopes that Chen Xiao can take care of Livingston.
