Chapter 581 "Dessert before dinner"
In the Staples Arena, the fans cheered for the second-year rookies who interacted with them on the court. Even though the future of these players is very difficult to say, after all, they are now able to enter the All-Star Game. Approved by all fans and leagues!
In this year's All-Star Game, apart from the dinner All-Star Game, the NBA specially extended the All-Star atmosphere to as many as five days!
The procedures include the All-Star Carnival on the 13th, the exhibition game on the 14th, the rookie challenge, fan activities, the slam dunk contest on the 15th, the three-point contest and the newly added The Skills Challenge was held on the same day, and the 16th will be the highly anticipated All-Star Game, and the 17th will be the real end of the All-Star Game, a day for fans to revel!
"Jerry, how many of them do you think will grow into one of the future superstars of the league?"
In the stands, Bruce said softly to West next to him playfully, looking at this old man who has been immersed in the league for many years, he couldn't help but secretly look forward to it!
"Hehe, are you testing my vision?" West looked at Bruce with a smile, then sighed slightly, and said with some regret: "Although the talents of these second-year rookies seem good now, after all Wanting to become a superstar in the league is not a very easy and easy thing!"
"Among these people, I am most optimistic about your compatriots!!" Suddenly, West said to Bruce with a serious face: "Although he looks very thin, his solid basic skills and soft His touch, with his height, will become a nightmare for some breakthrough guards and attacking centers in the future!"
"Oh?? Why is your evaluation so high?" Although Bruce agrees very much, he still wants to hear the explanation of this master!
"Hehe, in this season's games, your compatriot has obviously adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, especially he is much stronger than last season. If he can avoid some injuries, I think his future will not only Not just a superstar, but will become a world-class existence!"
Bruce looked at West, who didn't seem to be joking, with a look of astonishment. From his words, Bruce obviously felt extremely serious.
Speaking of these, West, when he turned his head to look at the court, he looked at Yao Ming with burning eyes, and said with a hint of expectation: "If, if we can bring him into the Warriors, plus Lenny is very happy. Suitable for his tactical arrangement, he and we will definitely achieve the best win-win mode!"
"This.."
Bruce was completely stunned. Although he had a good feeling for Yao Ming, the current Warriors team was really not suitable for him!
Apart from the fact that they are compatriots, after the Warriors have Dirk Nowitzki, they will not think too much about Yao Ming's problem. After all, they still have a master inside!
"Hehe, I was just thinking about it!"
As if he knew something was wrong with what he said, West smiled brightly, then changed the subject and said, "Except for Yao, I am most optimistic about our Manu, even if he is not an insider who is more important to the team. !"
"Oh??"
Bruce looked at West in surprise. For him, even though Ginobili's competitive state and talent were indeed very strong, compared with Stoudemire, Boozer and others, he still felt that Ginobili was a good player. Nobili's talent is not as good as it is!
For this super sixth man from Argentina, Bruce has always regarded him as a very important piece of the championship puzzle, rather than a leader who can lead the entire team. After all, the articles about Ginobili in his previous life and The analysis is basically positioning him as the second leader of the team, or just like the third leader during the Spurs period!
"Hehe, if Manu can show more maturity and leadership qualities, he will definitely become a very qualified leader!" West said slowly and calmly, looking at Ji Ji who was chatting with Yao Ming on the court. Nobili, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Hehe, it's a pity that he can't be like this now. After all, he came to a team where he will play for his entire career!"
"This.."
The shock in Bruce's eyes suddenly appeared, even though he had the memory of his previous life, but now he heard West's very firm words, he almost exclaimed!
"Hehe, in the Italian league, Manu has always been the core of the team. If you only see his role in the team, everyone will think that he is a very good champion puzzle player!" A trace of regret flashed across West's face, he shook his head and continued: "Look, he could have fought for something that belongs to him!"
After listening to Bruce, he subconsciously looked towards the court, staring at the guy with fluttering hair, but his mind couldn't help but flipped through the information about Ginobili's time in the Italian League!
In 2001, he was the MVP of the Italian League, and he was named MVP in the second year. In addition, he was named the MVP of the Copa America and led the team to win the Italian League Championship, Cup Championship and European Super League in 2000. Triple crown, Ginobili's leadership qualities can be seen!
After a while, when Bruce finally came back to his senses, he couldn't help sighing after the other second-year substitute players came on the field one by one: "He is a great player!!"
"Yeah, he is a great player from Argentina!!" West still had a trace of regret in his eyes, and said with a slight sigh!
The appearance of the second-year students made the atmosphere in the arena reach a very hot level, and when the host in the arena, who was dressed in fancy clothes, shouted excitedly, all the fans couldn't help it Cheered, this is the charm of a super rookie!
"Let us welcome the No. [-] pick from the Cavaliers, LeBron...James!!!"
"boom!!"
After the host shouted in the arena, it was as if a bomb had exploded, and all the fans roared loudly, as if this was the only way to express their love!
Feeling the explosive atmosphere around him, while looking sideways, Bruce subconsciously looked at James, who was wearing the No. 23 jersey and looked like a superstar, and ran towards the court with a jump!
"Look, this is the strength of the alliance. If this little guy's ability is not enough for them to dispatch, I don't think David will be a crazy guy!" West said slowly with emotion, especially thinking about the previous A new No. [-] pick, who became popular after being consciously guided by the outside media by Stern, he couldn't help but continued: "A player with a strong talent must have a firm heart!"
"Yeah, he is a guy blessed by "God"!" There was a sigh in Bruce's eyes, and he couldn't help but echoed!
On the court, when James kept waving and greeting the fans in the surrounding stands, amidst the provocative shouts of the host, Carmelo Anthony, one of the most promising players in the first grade, took him The iconic "sweet" smile quickly ran to the court!
"Hehe, if Carmelo can focus himself on the defensive end, he will become a terrible low-post killer. I think after he puts on weight, he can not only play a good position as a wing player, but also can be a direct player. As a power forward, his offensive ability is simply too comprehensive!" West said slowly, admiringly, he is obviously very optimistic about this guy who has indeed been in the power forward position for a long time in his previous life!
"Hehe, if it's just one person, no matter how powerful he is, he's just one person!" Bruce said lightly, and then he paid attention to Wade who came on the field and Bosh and others who followed him!
This year's rookies, no matter whether it is James who has attracted much attention, or Wade and Bosh who have been entrusted with important tasks by Riley and Popovich, none of them dare to underestimate their future, especially the few mentioned above. They are generally regarded as the absolute core of the team's future!
After that, as Haislem and others ran to the stadium one after another, in the expectation of all the fans, the battle between the two sides was about to break out!
"Jerry, what kind of player do you think we should look for next year to replace Gerrard who may leave?"
Although Bruce is unwilling to raise this question, after all, the team really needs one, or even a few players to make up for his departure!
"Hehe, if it were me, I would choose a player who matches Manu very well. I think Kyle (Korver) will do a very good job!" West said pointedly, and then let him Bruce thought about it alone!
Regarding Korver's matter, Bruce's original idea was to equip the powerful inside combination of Duncan and Nowitzki with a player with very good shooting ability!
Although Korver's role on the defensive end seems invisible for the time being, Bruce will not forget the positive attitude of this guy towards defense in his previous life!
If Gerald Wallace does choose to leave eventually, the combination of Korver and Ginobili is still acceptable to Bruce!
"Although I agree with your suggestion very much, after all, his performance on the defensive end is still somewhat insufficient, so..."
"Hahaha, so we will pick a player with a very good defensive performance in this summer's draft, right?" West blinked like a roundworm in Bruce's stomach, and looked at it playfully. Follow him!
"Hey, that's right, I'll do it!" Bruce seemed to have already had his own ideas, and after hearing what he said, West just showed a noncommittal expression!
On the field, after another round of stellar performances, the game between the first-year and second-year teams is finally about to begin!
