Chapter Eleven Changes

Pacers official: Arthur is sure to miss the summer league.

As soon as the news came out, the Internet was full of people.

Since social media such as Twitter has not yet been released, gossip fans can only express their opinions through some niche media.

Each NBA team has its own official website. One feature of the Pacers' website is that fans who have purchased peripheral products on the official website can register an account (Pacers: That's right, only US dollar players are my fans). Therefore, after this news was released, thousands of fans left messages under this message.

"Does we really have to wait until the preseason to see Arthur's game?"

"Whose super newcomer will show off his strength through preseason?"

"So, Arthur may not even play in the preseason?"

"Impossible, he will definitely fight!"

"Why didn't Arthur play in the summer league? Are you worried about exposing your level? Although he is the king of Europe... I have no intention of offending, Paul Gasol and Manu Ginobili are the kings of Europe."

"I want to correct your words. These people can only be regarded as uncrowned kings of Europe. They all lost to Arthur in the Champions League."

The fans were talking a lot, some supported, some opposed, some sarcastic, some spoke out with their own reasons, and no one could convince anyone (only those who are idle and frustrated will want to convince others online).

A few days later, the highly anticipated 2003 NBA Draft was held as scheduled.

The 2003 rookies, known as the golden generation, are finally coming into the spotlight and carrying the attention of the world.

What is the New Year of the Draft? The New Year of the Draft means that the top scorers who are selected for the New Year of the Draft can only barely enter the top five discussions in this session.

Therefore, the draft picks of this draft conference are particularly valuable.

The lottery show is worth a thousand gold, and the second round pick is also worthless.

The luckiest city of this year is the first city in the United States that won the No. 1 pick, and the New York Knicks looking forward to reviving.

The team that won the second pick is the Toronto Raptors in the snow.

The third pick was the Detroit Pistons, the runner-up in the Eastern Conference last season.

The Denver Nuggets won the fourth pick.

The Cleveland Cavaliers won the fifth pick.

Some history began to change as early as 1999.

Xie Hou didn't pay attention to the talent show, but he couldn't resist having a Takako off ascended these things in his ears.

Therefore, he probably remembers the belongings of the top five lottery shows.

The Knicks chose the Chosen Son without any suspense, a monster known as a once-in-twenty-year encounter. "King" LeBron James, who was about to attack Michael Jordan when he debuted.

The Raptors unexpectedly chose Milicic, a genius from Serbia.

This made the Pistons very regretful. They even hoped to take advantage of the draft picks like the Pacers in 1999.

Unfortunately, the Raptors don't want to make any deals. They think Milicic will become Carter's most capable assistant.

The lost pistons can only choose their spare tire.

For strong teams, only the right ones are selected in the draft.

For weak teams, only the strongest ones are selected in the draft.

Because there is no absolute suitable for a weak team, only the strong can lead the team to rise, and the Pistons need the inside the most, but they are unwilling to waste the third pick on the poor version of Kevin Garnett (the extended neck version). Therefore, they decided to follow the rules and choose the rookie who is unanimously recognized by the outside world, and lead Syracuse University to win the NCAA Champions League super star Cameron Anthony.

The Knight looked at it for a long time and found that the target he wanted had been taken away.

They regretted not making up their minds to play the role, otherwise the No. 1 pick would be theirs, and the chosen son could serve his hometown according to his will.

What a pity that now the Chosen Son has gone to Big Apple City, and other elite players have also been selected.

After looking at the Cavaliers, they can only choose Dwyne Wade, who has the potential to be injured but has the best potential.

"Takako, you shouldn't tell me this, I don't play in the summer league."

Xie Hou crossed his legs and said nothing.

"That's right, it seems I should tell Theo about this, that these people may become his main opponents in the summer league." Takako Hayak looked warm and kind.

Xie Hou was not worried about Papalucas at first, until he watched the highlights of the game. Although there was a saying that Jordan per capita was in the highlights, some things could still be seen from the highlights.

The United States advocates individualism, and the power of the individual often overwhelms the whole.

Papalucas is a typical team player. If he wants to make him one-on-one, his characteristics will definitely be inconspicuous. If he is put into a team with outstanding collaboration, he will be very powerful.

"Where is he now?"

Xie Hou inexplicably cared about this teammate who was older than him.

Papalucas is different from Kirirenko. He does not come from the CSKA youth training.

Papalucas' basketball career began with a youth team of a small local club in Athens, Greece; then he played for another small club in the rising period. It was at this time that he began his career as a basketball player (1995). He was traded to the Greek Second Division Basketball League in 1997, and was traded again a few years later, joining the traditional Greek First Division team Penrien Os.

Genius is hard to be buried, and Papalucas has become the best player in the Greek League One with his extraordinary abilities.

Then, he was noticed by the CSKA Moscow and spent a lot of money to bring him from Greece to Russia, becoming Xie Hou's teammate.

He is three years older than Xie Hou. At 26, he was already out of the NBA three years ago, so he doesn't need to join the league through the draft.

He can represent NBA teams in the summer league as a free agent, and then be noticed by the team for his excellent performance, which is also his original plan.

But now he doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

Although he feels good about himself, he is not a king like Xie Hou who has conquered the entire Europe. He is still fighting for the former in the CSKA.

He has not proved his strength alone.

Just like when Kirilenko left, the public believed that the CSKA rule had ended here, but Xie Hou returned strongly after being injured and lost his crown, which made all the European sluts shattered.

He left after getting everything, and Papalucas wasn't that far.

He believed that if he stayed in Europe, he would definitely realize his value like Xie Hou, but he was unwilling to stay in Europe for the rest of his life.

He believes that he can attack the most advanced basketball hall in the world.

So, Xie Hou instigated him, and he agreed, declined the high-paying contract renewal handed over by CSKA and was determined to challenge the NBA.

Now he is training in the Pacers' training hall, his outstanding physical fitness and selfishness make him feel unsure of the game.

After a team match, his defense impressed the coaching staff, but there was no demonstration in other aspects.

There is basically no possibility of retrieving the ball. These people only have baskets in their eyes. They used various selfish performances to show their talents and skills like the team, and at the same time they also had a scorching begging the team to sign their hearts.

By contrast, Papalucas acted pretty bland.

This kind of neither salty nor bland sometimes does not give you extra points.

"If you ask me if you speak, I might join in to help you." Xie Houshen appeared in the training hall without anyone noticing.

Papalucas felt much more at ease when he saw him.

"Don't you want to bully college students?" Papalucas asked.

"I don't want to bully college students," Xie Hou said in Greek, "but I can't stand the arrogant and rude American college students bullying the middle-aged Greek tourists."

As he is approaching middle age... Papalucas doesn't know what expression to react. Although he is a little old, he is only 26 years old this year.

You know, this is the golden age group of athletes and the peak of physical fitness. What did this guy actually say that he is almost middle-aged?

"I suddenly changed my mind." Xie Hou did not expect Papalucas to kneel down and ask for his joining (this expectation is difficult for anyone). "You must know that a player as great as me is the most unpleasant to others because I don't participate in the summer league. There are 213 people on the Pacers' official website saying that I don't dare to play. What a joke!"

He actually counted... Papalucas didn't know how boring this person was, but if Xie Hou was willing to join the team, his situation would definitely be much better than it is now.

Xie Hou is different from him. He is the No. 3 pick. If he joins the team, the ball will definitely be in his hands.

Papalucas is known as the 202-centimeter high point guard, but the head coach of the Pacers' Summer League team does not regard him as a point guard.

Because he is tall and strong, he meets the standards of the second and even the third positions, so most of his roles in the team are swingers.

This is his most annoying position.

It is true that he can switch to the defense number one, two and three positions, but this does not mean that he can play the number two and three positions.

The paranoid American is not optimistic about him playing point guard, so he doesn't even try it, and just fixes him on the second and third positions.

Then Papalucas was embarrassed.

He has enough body and skills to play in the NBA's second and third positions, but he is not used to playing against his opponent's second and third positions throughout the game, and he is also very unstable in the most important three-pointer in this position.

The NBA's three-point line is longer, and it will take him a while to get used to it.

So, he beat him so badly.

Xie Hou's joining is like a rainbow hanging in the sky after a heavy rain.
