Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Chapter 251: Last hope

The latest website: Next, the "International Invitational Tournament" arrived as scheduled. According to Yao Ming's request, Zhang Mingji brought in a lot of "Star II", such as Ewing's son "Little Ewing", and another example that Yao Ming said before Stephen Curry, son of Dale Curry.

In addition, what Yao Ming didn't expect was that this guy actually got Michael Thompson's son, Klay Thompson, who was just 15 years old and played in high school league for a year...

"Splash Brothers" partnered in advance.

It is also worth mentioning that the original No. 1 pick in 2006, Balliani, also participated in this "International Invitational"!

Although the native high school geniuses in the United States look down on the Invitational held by Peak, Balliani came to the scene for the face of Yao Ming, who is also an "international player".

With his arrival, coupled with these "Star II", this time Peak made a lot of noise than the previous "High School Student All-Star Game".

Even if this is not enough...

But anyway, there has been progress, at least let Yao Ming see hope!

In addition to those Chinese basketball teenagers, as the "international team" players, both sides played back and forth. In the end, the "international team" won.

These "Star II" are really weak.

Especially Thompson and Curry, now they are not even half as good as they played in the NBA...

Balliani showed his soft touch in this game.

The one that goes in the middle distance is called a "swish"...

Of course, this is also normal. Later, he entered the NBA. At his peak, Balliani relied on this to score the highest shot in a season and averaged more than 20 points per game.

According to the original trajectory, he will be selected as the No. 1 pick by the Raptors next year, and his immediate combat power is obviously stronger than those of the "Star II".

A man scored 32 points and turned this "invitational game" into his own show.

The performance of China Xia is not very good, but compared with the United States and several other international players, if compared with the domestic peers, they are actually a very good group.

After all, there are only 8 basketball teenagers remaining in the first batch of so many people. The good news is that these are all players at least at the second team level in their respective school teams, and a few have even made it. The first team, like Zhang Tianming and Lin An, played vigorously on the bench as a senior in high school, and it is very likely to enter the starting lineup next year.

Although these two people are only "Samsung" in the latest issue of ESPN's star rating...

However, there is still a year to go, and no one knows what will happen next!

It is not easy for them to keep up with the pace of this game and have some performance.

You know, before participating in "This Is Basketball", these people have not experienced systematic basketball training. No matter how they practice, there is a gap between them and the head. It is already very good to be able to make some progress!

Well, anyway, it is also the most talented twenty or so guys selected among so many basketball teenagers... this talent is still necessary.

What Yao Ming didn't expect was that on the second day of the end of the game, because the "American team" lost to the "international team", Stephen Curry's "Star II" was criticized by several media.

This is a situation that Yao Ming did not expect.

He was so scared that he hurriedly called Stephen Curry and a few other guys in the American "Star II" to inquire about the situation. Others like "Little Ewing" and Klay Thompson, but they didn't. Take these reports to heart.

Compared with these few, Stephen Curry's mood is a bit low.

Hearing from Dale Curry, this guy is a little suspicious of himself...

"Then what, Mr. Dale, if it is convenient, I want to talk to him!"

When Yao Ming heard of this situation, he couldn't sit still, this is the superstar of the future! Don't the time come to cause a huge change in his life because of this game that he didn't have in his life? Then his sin is serious!

Taking advantage of the game just over, Stephen Curry and Dale Curry have not left Portland, he quickly called Dale Curry and asked to meet.

"Um... OK, Yao, I think this is a great opportunity!" Dale Curry did not hesitate and agreed, although Yao Ming had already "pitted" his son once. But he could hear Yao Ming's tone of apology, obviously he really wanted to help his son.

This guy is currently one of the best players in the league. Even Nowitzki also calls him a "master". Dale Curry believes that he can definitely teach Stephen Curry some useful things.

"That's great, I'll check the time, let's go tomorrow!"

This matter sooner rather than later, after all, it is something related to Stephen Curry's self-confidence. It is not a trivial matter. After so long, it is possible for Stephen Curry to shut down.

"Row!"

Dale Curry also agreed.

That's it. At noon the next day, Yao Ming, accompanied by Lu Hao, met with Curry and his son at a tea restaurant.

Stephen Curry is in good condition, although his face is still a little low, it can be seen that Yao Ming can still show a polite smile.

Upon seeing this, Yao Ming subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, man, let's talk, you won't give up basketball, right?" Yao Ming is straightforward, he has to determine the most important thing first, "I believe these reports will not hit you, although they will affect you. !"

Stephen Curry nodded seriously: "Yes, I won't give up basketball, I love basketball..."

Only soon he became discouraged: "However, to be honest, I don’t know what path to take. I studied Reggie Miller’s game video. I also watched Ray Allen’s game video. I think it will It is my template, so I am constantly imitating them, but from the current situation, it is difficult for me to become them. I still have a lot of shortcomings, and... if it is not for a team with me as the core , It is difficult for me to fully utilize my advantages!"

Stephen Curry didn't twitch, and said all his troubles.

Of course, this is not because he trusts Yao Ming very much. In addition to yesterday’s "Invitational Tournament", this is the second time Stephen Curry has met Yao Ming face-to-face. He didn’t even chat with Yao Ming yesterday. No matter how friendly Yao Ming is, It is impossible for Stephen Curry to gain trust so quickly, not to mention that Yao Ming even cheated him once.

This is entirely because Dale Curry was vaccinated in advance. Before setting off to meet Yao Ming this morning, he told Stephen Curry: "This is a very good opportunity, Stephen, listen, not any superstar wants to follow You share his experience and have opinions, especially for players like Yao. This is a rare opportunity. If you have any troubles, don't hesitate to say it boldly! I hope we can have something to bring home!"

Obviously, Stephen Curry took Dale Curry's words to heart.

And according to what he said, said it!

Listening to Stephen Curry’s words, Yao Ming suddenly understood what he was really worried about. He, who will officially graduate from high school next year, worried that he would not be selected by a team with him at the core. In that case, his His performance will get worse. With his physical talent, if he doesn’t perform well and his stats get worse, I’m afraid that even if he enters the NBA, his starting point will be very low...

This is his crux.

To be honest, his worries are really not unreasonable, because a year later, the old coach K refused to send him an invitation letter from Duke because he was too thin.

However, Stephen Curry was also lucky. Later, he went to Davidson University and met his life’s head coach Bob McGrupp. Bob McGrupp admired Stephen Curry’s talent very much, and built a name for him at the core. "Curry and his pick-and-rolls" tactics, relying on this set of tactics, Davidson University hit the "March Crazy" in one fell swoop, Stephen Curry also officially became famous in the NBA scout circle.

After that, it was Bob McCrop who advised Stephen Curry to practice dribbling for a year in the NCAA and switch to point guard... It can be said that without Bob McCrop, there would never be a later Stephen Curry. .

This guy can tolerate Stephen Curry to the point of allowing him to make random mistakes on the court. It is also in Davidson's three years that he has built Stephen Curry's steel-like self-confidence!

In other words, as long as history goes on as it should, these worries of Stephen Curry are actually non-existent...

But it is impossible for Yao Ming to comfort Stephen Curry with the phrase "Trust me, everything will be fine". There is no need to let Curry and his son come out this time, and it will make them feel that Yao Ming is playing with them.

Various thoughts drifted through my mind.

The father and son Curry also saw that Yao Ming was thinking, and they did not bother, especially Stephen Curry, who dared to make a loud noise. He was really afraid that Yao Ming thought for a long time and said: "It can't be cured, wait for death, leave. !"

Then his self-confidence is completely shattered!

His whole heart was really mentioned in his throat right now.

"If you can't become Lei Allen or Reggie Miller, then don't be them. Isn't it good to be yourself?" Yao Ming thought about it and made a bold decision!

What happens if Stephen Curry is asked to change to the number one position in advance?

The current Stephen Curry has always been training according to Dell Curry’s ideas. Due to the limitations of the time background, he did not think about letting his son play the number one position, because Stephen Curry’s height is still growing, and he is only 17 now. At the age of 1.89 meters, there are still at least two or three years of development. It is definitely no problem to exceed 1.90 meters.

Dale Curry's own height is 1.96 meters. In his opinion, Stephen Curry should also grow to this height, which is the standard height of the second position!

But in fact, Stephen Curry is only 1.91 meters tall!

The short and thin Stephen Curry, who is completely out of reach for the second position, was therefore underestimated by many scouts before the 2008 NBA Draft, thinking that it would be difficult for him to survive in the NBA. In that case, Bob After discussing with Dale Curry, McLoop only took the risk, allowing Stephen Curry to play in the NCAA for a year and switch to the number one position.

To be straightforward, Stephen Curry changed to the first position, which is actually a helpless choice, but in fact, Stephen Curry's reflexes are active and keen, and this is a natural ball handler!

Changing to the number one position is his most correct choice!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "destined"!

If he had been practicing dribbling since the senior year of high school...it was equal to the time he entered the league, he would have appeared after two years in the league. After all, the original Stephen Curry was a two-year control training in the NBA. After the ball, the edge of the first position was completely revealed!

He doesn't need this time to practice dribbling in advance. He just needs to accumulate a little experience. "Kuritian" may appear in the NBA earlier!

Of course this is already four or five years later.

Using this as a fantasy is equivalent to painting a "big pie", Yao Ming is not such a person.

"Have you ever thought of becoming the next Steve Nash?" Yao Ming gave a template!

When I heard "Son of the Wind", Stephen Curry's face showed some yearning. With Steve Nash winning the regular season MVP trophy last season, he suddenly became the hottest star in the league. Many fans still Some players regard him as their idol, including Stephen Curry.

After all, he, like Steve Nash, is a thin guard.

"But Stephen doesn't have such a passing vision!" Dale Curry still knows that his son has a few kilograms, and Steve Nash's passing ability is at the top level in NBA history, Stephen Curry But not so good passing ability.

When my father said this, the excitement on Stephen Curry's face suddenly disappeared.

He knew his dad was right.

His organizational skills are indeed not outstanding!

This, let his dad!

"Then be the next Allen Iverson!" Yao Ming threw another template.

Upon hearing this template, Stephen Curry's eyes brightened!

All the small guards have imagined that they are like Allen Iverson, playing in and out of the NBA, which feels absolutely very exciting.

Especially the dunk after getting inside!

Stephen Curry felt very exciting just looking at it!

"It's also difficult! Yao, you should know that Stephen's physical fitness is difficult to compare with Allen Iverson!" Dale Curry shook his head again.

Stephen Curry also dimmed again.

He still couldn't refute his father's words, he did not have the physical fitness of Allen Iverson.

"But Allen Iverson and Steve Nash don't have Stephen's three-point shooting ability, don't they?" Yao Ming refuted Dale Curry at this time. He really couldn't think of more templates that fit Stephen Curry's situation. Now; secondly, he has finished what he wanted to say.

"Maybe Stephen Curry can rely on his three-pointer to become a scorer like Allen Iverson?"

"It's not impossible!"

"Perhaps Stephen Curry will be very spiritual in dribbling, I can't tell..."

Now it was Dell Curry's gaze that flickered.

He has to admit that Yao Ming's last sentence touched him. Stephen Curry has not systematically practiced dribbling until now, because he has always been Stephen Curry trained as a second pitcher... He also believes it. Stephen Curry's excellent three-point shooting ability will help him enter the NBA.

But the problem now is that Stephen Curry's three-pointer in the second position is not enough to make some of the NCAA famous schools tempted. So far, no school in the NCAA Division I has been willing to give Stephen Curry a place...

Otherwise, try playing the number one instead?

Anyway, it just increases the training of dribbling!

He was thinking about it, but Stephen Curry was completely unable to restrain himself, and said excitedly: "I want to try and see if I can develop good ball-handling skills and see if I can rely on the three-pointer to become like Ah. A super scorer like Len Iverson!"

Originally, what he believed most was his father Dale Curry, no matter what, this was the person he was closest to.

But Stephen Curry, who has been training in the same way as Dell Curry, is currently experiencing a bottleneck, and he can feel that his performance is very dependent on the cooperation of the team.

Of course, this is the fate of every pitcher!

No matter how powerful pitchers such as Reggie Miller and Ray Allen are, they must have good team tactics to show their power.

This is also the reason why Stephen Curry is worried that he will not be met in the future with his tactical core team...

But if he can attack himself with the ball!

Perhaps the dependence on tactics is not so great!

Yao Ming looked at Stephen Curry's gaze and knew that he might want to be awkward. He quickly added: "You have no problems with the way you play so far, but you need to increase your ball-holding ability. This can make you One more weapon!"

This is the reason that Dell Curry listened to Yao Ming’s words and immediately clarified his mind. The style of play is still the style of the shooter. It is just to increase some of his own ability to hold the ball and attack... This is indeed a good way!

Well, because of the limitations of the times, Dell Curry didn't realize how terrifying a ball-handling player who can shoot three-pointers is.

However, Yao Ming also added such a sentence just to dispel Dale Curry's concerns.

He believes that as Stephen Curry has a better offensive ability with the ball, he will find out for himself how much this kind of play can add to him!

Father and son Curry left with such satisfaction.

Before leaving, Stephen Curry specifically added Yao Ming’s contact information, saying that it was to better consult Yao Ming. Obviously, after this meeting, Stephen Curry’s life mentor successfully changed from his father to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming agreed and agreed, just looking at the back of Curry and his son when he left, he couldn't help but think of the terrifying performance of Pinnacle Ku Ritian, this time he is very likely to play such a performance in advance.

I didn't dug a big hole for myself, did I?

Yao Ming is a little worried.

Fortunately, Curry is only in his third year of high school. It will be at least two years later for him to log in to the NBA. Yao Ming is not a worrisome person, so this matter is over after thinking about it.

On the way back, he specifically communicated with the person in Blue Shoes and officially notified the latter that he would not participate in this Asian Championship.

In fact, he didn't just inform about this at this time. He had already talked with the blue shoes after the Olympics last year.

"If you want to see me still fighting for China Basketball 10 years from now, let me absent from this Asian Championships. It just so happens that young people also need to train and train!!"

Yao Ming once again showed his tough side.

The Blue Shoes didn't dare to force him this time.

It’s no wonder that Yao Ming is not the little rookie who was just about to enter the NBA. Now he is the emperor superstar even in the NBA, the symbol of China Basketball, and the hope of countless Chinese fans. He is comparable to Wang Zhizhi. Turning over is much more serious.

Blue shoes really dare not bet...

That's it, they agreed to Yao Ming's rest.

But this time Yao Ming did not forget to recommend someone to them: "By the way, you can try to ease the relationship with Aoshen. A young man named Sun Yue in their team is not bad and can be drawn to the national team to practice. Training!"

It's just that now it's the turn of the blue shoes people to frown, and their relationship with Ao Shen is really bad.

But Yao Ming is out of control. Let them try first. If Sun Yue couldn't make it into the national team this year, then Yao Ming would go out by himself next year, talk to Aoshen’s people, and take it to the World Championships!

After he came back, he deliberately learned about the aba league where Aoshen and them are now playing. After watching it, he no longer expressed much hope for transforming Sun Yue.

You can't expect the players in a semi-professional league to have good self-discipline, and with the contract signed by Sun Yue with Aoshen, he is totally unable to bring Sun Yue to the CBA league.

More importantly... Sun Yue didn't necessarily want to go.

It's comfortable to play in the ABA!

You can make money and ride foreign horses. Life is called a happy life!

As far as his self-discipline is concerned, he may not be willing to leave.

However, what is going on is what happened later. Even if there is no enhanced version of Sun Yue, the guard line of the 2008 China Men’s Basketball Team is still sufficient. Liu Wei and Chen Jianghua’s rotation are not very good, but it must be. Not too big a loophole.

Especially compared with the defenders of the subsequent national teams, it can be called a "good" word!

Moreover, after watching the two Peak Invitational games, Yao Ming believes that four years later, there may be a national player in "This Is Slam Dunk"...

Of course, Yao Ming is definitely not thinking about Zhang Tianming and Lin An. The performance of these two men in the "International Invitational" can only be described as mediocre, far from the national name!

However, there are still four years to go. Among the four batches of "This Is Slam Dunk" basketball teenagers, out of nearly a hundred, there must be a chance for a national player!

However, in this way, the "Peak Invitational" has to become famous as soon as possible. After all, starting from next year, there will be Chinese high school students who graduated from high school. The Peak Invitational will be their stepping stone to knock on the NCAA first-level league door. !

Perhaps it may be the only stepping stone!

It's really important!

After the "International Invitational Tournament" is over, Peak's preparation for this summer has reached the third stage: "Global Challenge Training Camp"!

Since this event is a training camp, the final challenge will be held after the half-month training camp. In addition, the invited basketball players are all potential basketball players in the first and second years of high school, so it is destined to be impossible to set off much. The storm came, so Yao Ming didn't pay much attention to this event.

Not only did he not pay attention, Xu Jinnan and Zhang Mingji were also divided into two groups. One stayed in the training camp, and the other went back to China. The second season of "This Is Basketball" has ended the audition, and has now concentrated on training for half of it. It's been more than a month, and the recording of the show was in early August. Xu Jinnan has to go back and arrange specific matters first!

Yao Ming will go back then, so he took advantage of the last few days of July to quickly turn over the list of remaining players in the free market, as well as the rumors of each team, and prepare to give the Blazers the last wave of supplementation this summer. powerful!

In the past few days after the "International Invitational Tournament", Yao Ming received another bad news from there-Steve Patterson worked hard for a long time, and finally failed to trade James Posey from the Grizzlies. This guy was finally replaced by the logo man to the Miami Heat!

Dwight Wade and O'Neal usher in strong support!

The strength of the Heat's lineup has officially evolved into a "champion-level" strong team!

Anyway, as far as Yao Ming is concerned, James Posey in this life is stronger than he was originally at the same time. Although he was originally in the Grizzlies at this time, he is just an ordinary main player, but he is in this life. The Grizzlies are the second-leading team, averaging 16 points and 6 rebounds per game. Such a guy is more than enough to play a three-headed team for the Heat!

Also with James Posey who went to the Heat in this trade is "White Chocolate"... This guy is no problem at all as a fourth-hand.

In addition, Mourning joined the Heat like he was.

Although this Heat team did not join Gary Payton this time, overall, compared to their original strength, they did not rise but fell!

Moreover, this summer is not over yet, the ghost knows what Pat Riley will make again!

In short, in Yao Ming's view, the second "blocker" of the Trail Blazers in the new season has already appeared...

Seeing that he couldn't completely dig out the two three positions he liked, and one of them went to the original 2006 championship Heat team, Yao Ming suddenly became a little anxious!

Reinforcement work is like sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, you will regress!

But there are really few good wing defenders these days.

But there is no way. After all, functional wings are not popular at this time. "3d" players are equivalent to loopholes in the tactical board in this era. Therefore, no one wants to be such a player and will not follow this approach. By myself.

This also makes the "3d" players in this period very scarce.

Especially good "3d" players, they are as rare as super giants...

Yao Ming rummaged through the entire free market player information, as well as the trade rumors of each team, and did not see his favorite player. Now the Trail Blazers have one less qualified wing defender.

Regardless of the fact that there are only two players in the 4th position, Yao Ming can play the role of the 4th position player. He can completely partner with Zaza, Kwame Brown and Karl Malone in the presence of any one of them!

He even felt that position 5 was a bit too much.

He really wants to trade Hesheng Town out, but this guy is just a leader, and he will definitely not want to take the initiative to trade. Without other trades, it is really difficult to trade him...

So it can only be placed here first.

After worrying about this for three or four days, when Yao Ming was about to give up, Steve Patterson called him: "Man, the latest news, the Mavericks seem to be ready to buy out Michael Finley's contract. !"

Michael... Finley?

correct!

Why did I forget this guy!

Isn't this just a ready-made "3d" player?

Moreover, like James Posey, he also relies on tough physical fitness to defend. In terms of three-point shooting ability, he may also be more stable than James Posey!

The only thing he can't compare to James Posey now may be his ability to break through with the ball...

But for a team that already has Chris Paul, Yao Ming and Vince Carter, does it matter whether the teammates have the ability to hold the ball?

It's not important at all, okay?

Besides, it can’t be said that there is no at all. Later, Michael Finley, who went to the Spurs, can still stage his own ball and break scoring scenes from time to time...

This is definitely a good addition!

I'm really sleepy and give me a pillow!

Yao Ming said immediately: "Find a way to sign him!"

Although this is tantamount to scalping the Spurs' wool once again, it was Robert Horry last time...

But does it matter?

It's not important at all, okay?

This guy was bought out and went to the Spurs. Does he have to go to the Spurs this time?

Where can't you win the championship!

Maybe, the Blazers can give him a little more money!

"Yao...you, don't you mind?" Steve Patterson obviously didn't expect Yao Ming to agree so readily.

"Mind? Mind what?" Yao Ming was asked for a moment.

"Have you forgotten? You had a conflict with him three years ago!" Steve Patterson reminded.

"Oh, that happened, hey, when did that happen! I don't care about it a long time ago."

I didn’t suffer anyway!

Yao Ming said something in his heart.

And... in order to win the championship, don't stubbornly!

"That's all right, Yao, if you don't mind, then I have an idea that might help us get Michael Finley smoothly!" When Steve Patterson heard that Yao Ming didn't take it seriously, he immediately began to talk business:" We can trade with them. I think the Mavericks are definitely not willing to buy out Michael Finley for no reason. If we make a deal at this time, they will definitely agree, and... Michael Finley will also be grateful to us! At that time, Yao , Surely there will be no gap between him and you!"

Oh roar!

This guy is really good!

Yao Ming couldn't help but mutter after hearing Steve Patterson's words.

He felt that he needed to get to know Steve Patterson again. This buddy had a bright mind, it was really bright!

This method, I have to say, is really good!

Not only can he get Michael Finley, but he can also work hard for the Trail Blazers...No player can stand the humiliation of being forced to buy out, especially Michael Finley, who was once called "Jordan's successor." "The pride of heaven is even more true."

"Man, I just reacted now. Wouldn't you even be ready for the transaction contract?" Yao Ming quipped, "I didn't say it because I was afraid that I would disagree? Then my image in your heart can be It's bad enough!"

"Hehehe!" Steve Patterson also knew that Yao Ming was joking, and laughed trivially, "I can't blame me, Yao, who made your image in the eyes of the media so blatant in the past!"

He quickly added another sentence: "Of course, Yao, I now know who you are!"

Then he formally showed Yao Ming the quotation he prepared: Matt Barnes, Outlaw, Pietrus and Heshengzhen, as well as the second round of 2006...

"Row!"

After reading the list, Yao Ming nodded in agreement.

If Michael Finley really joins, he adds Lagabeel, the Blazers' forward defender will undoubtedly be enough.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to clean up the same type of Matt Barnes and Pietrus!

Even if these two are cleaned up, there will still be Ariza!

As for the addition of Outlaw, it is also to make this deal have some attractive chips in it~www.novelmt.com~ Outlaw can finally average 13.2 points per game last season, his height and wingspan and his The projection ability while running has caused a lot of talk in the league, and he is a very good newcomer in the third position in the eyes of the media!

With him, the general manager of the Mavericks will definitely be impressed!

From the perspective of the Trail Blazers, with Vince Carter and Michael Finley already in the third position, trading Outlaw is the best arrangement for him!

As for the remaining Hesheng Town...

As already said, it was just a start. Yao Ming jumped to the next round of signing without even reading his name.

Originally, Yao Ming planned to keep this pick, but in the end he added it, because given the current lineup quality of the Trail Blazers, next year’s second round pick will at most be a 55-60 pick in the second round. It's useless to stay, it's better to trade!

"Fulfill this deal as soon as possible!"

This should be Yao Ming's last hope to strengthen his defense!
