Chapter 444: The Unbright NBA Prospect
Chapter 444 The Unstable NBA Prospects
The NBA Finals have only ended for two days.
The past two days have been a carnival for fans.
Xie Hou's fans were satisfied from the bottom of their hearts. They first criticized all their competitors, placing the commanding heights of the Internet, and shot at the famous fans who were relying on their seniority.
"Arthur is still young, but he can continue to set new career highs. As for some people, they may never be able to make achievements."
Some fans have expressed a view: "If Arthur announces his retirement, based on his current personal honors, I think he can rank among the top 15 superstars in history."
"No, he can enter the Pantheon!" 1
The Pantheon of 10,000 is a concept proposed by Bill Simmons, meaning the top 13 players in history.
Is a player who has only played for three years going to be selected into the Pantheon? It sounds incredible, but if you compare the honors, you will find that it is not impossible to talk about it.
The personal honors in front of Xie Hou are: 3 first round, 1 one defense, 1 two defense, 2amvp, 2mvp, 2fmvp and 2 championships.
The best team and defensive team are all embellishments for those players who want to enter the Pantheon.
The MVP and the championship decide where they can stand.
As of 2006, the players in the Pantheon include Jordan, Magic, Jabbar, Bird, Russell, Chamberlain, O'Neal, Duncan, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson 2, Moses Malone and Olajuwon.
2 I still say the same thing. Whether Xie Hou is averaging triple-double or Westbrook’s consecutive triple-double average, it cannot shake the historical status of Big O. Big O is a special player, with data and honors not enough to support him in the Pantheon, but half of the authoritative American media will select him in the Pantheon during this period.
One missing one, right? That's right, the thirteenth place cannot be selected.
As of this period, only the above twelve people were selected for the Pantheon without any dispute.
But Xie Hou's personal honors, especially the heavy honor, have surpassed or matched Olajuwon, Marlon West and Chamberlain. These people not only won two championships or fewer, but only were selected for MPVs or fewer.
Xie Hou's fans brag about it.
The famous fans talked about the honor comparison data and found that they could not cure this girl.
After that, someone brought out a killer weapon.
Unidentified fans brought out Jordan, which gave Xie Hou's fans a sense of awe.
Even if Xie Hou is in the limelight, it is not enough to fight Jordan head-on at this time.
2-Crown 2fmvp is really not qualified to compare with Goats, just fans of Jabbar, O'Neal, Magicians, Bird and others. As long as they are willing, they can still suppress their honor.
"This matter fully proves that Arthur's fans are as arrogant as he himself. However, they want to make a big splash. However, if Arthur continues to reap honors at such a speed, one day, even Michael Jordan may not be able to suppress him."
Someone concluded about this fan battle.
Fans are fighting to the end of the universe for their illusory historical status. What about Xie Hou? What are he doing these days?
He found that his weight in the Basketball Association's eyes was getting heavier and heavier.
He also suspected that all the officials and men of the Basketball Association went to watch the Spider-Man trilogy, otherwise how could the poisonous chicken soup with "greater ability and greater responsibility" be implemented so thoroughly?
Actually, they didn't do anything.
There are drafts every year, but in China, due to the success of Xie Hou, Yao Yun and others, teenagers are far more exposed to basketball than football. This year, three more young players participated in the draft.
Tang Zhendong is one of them, and the other two are Sun Yue and Huang Haibei from Beijing Aoshen Club.
The Basketball Association means that he will help promote it.
As for Xie Hou himself, he is only responsible for sending a few cheats, and he really can't help with other things.
Drafts are an important way for NBA teams to strengthen. It is true that he is at its peak in the league, but I am afraid that few teams are willing to choose Chinese players for his sake.
The Pacers have the possibility of doing this, but they are a championship team, with a top record for many years and a low draft pick, so they can't get much talent. If they choose Chinese players who are useless in order to save Xie Hou's face, even Xie Hou himself will not agree.
Therefore, under his publicity, only Tang Zhendong was invited by the Pacers.
Today is the trial day of Tang Zhendong.
The Pacers have a first-round draft pick this year.
The second round draft pick was given out in previous trades.
Fortunately, the walkers are currently young and do not need to replenish fresh blood.
The management, led by Donny Walsh, hopes to choose a point guard who can help Xie Hou share the pressure through this year's draft.
If you can score three points, it would be better if you can control the field.
Since defenders who can shoot three-pointers and control the field are all popular, it is not realistic to choose the 30th pick in the first round, so they need to cast a wide net.
Tang Zhendong is also on the list of trial personnel today.
Xie Hou came to the training center in casual clothes, just like Tang Zhendong's family.
After watching Tang Zhendong play two matches on the spot, he made a rough judgment.
His initial judgment that Tang Zhendong might be very clumsy was accurate.
This is the downside that most likely kills him.
His athletic ability is too bad, he is seven feet tall and moves like a tractor.
If he wants to play NBA, he needs to lose weight and speed up.
In addition, his jumping power makes people feel distressed.
"He has solid positioning skills and awareness, and he will stay on top of his head every time he catches a rebound, ready to pass to the guard and do a second attack, which is great." But! Xie Hou knew that their scout team leader, Mr. Henrik Leno, would say the word in half a second. Sure enough, "but, every time he hits the rebound, he is at a height below the basket, and his bounce is too mediocre."
Xie Hou had long seen this.
In the two confrontation matches, Tang Zhendong won 117 and 146 respectively.
His low-level singles are good, because only a fresh graduate student who came to try out today, Tang Zhendong, who has played in the professional league for several years, asked him to take the blame.
But his mediocre ability to run and jump allowed his team to be beaten and counterattacked continuously.
His basket protection ability is very poor.
He has a height but cannot implement threatening closures. His slow speed is like a turtle and makes it difficult for him to deal with breakthroughs at the NBA marginal human level.
Moreover, the jumping power is insufficient, and although the position is good, it is often washed away from offensive rebounds.
The team where Tang Zhendong is located lost two consecutive games.
His advantages and characteristics are revealed.
"His physical fitness will be the biggest obstacle for him to enter the NBA," Leno already complained that Tang Zhendong had enough, Xie Hou was present, so he had to give face, "but..."
But now is a sign of talking about scenes.
"He has mature offensive skills, solid positioning, and very good pick-and-roll. He is a rare talent with certain competitiveness." Leno sneaked into Xie Hou to see how he reacted.
Xie Hou's face was silent, and he couldn't see anything.
In fact, after watching Tang Zhendong's first confrontation, Xie Hou knew that he had no hope of choosing.
In the big ball era, the running and jumping ability of the inside line is relatively less important.
You can be slow, you can't jump, but you can't be without defense.
Without defense, this is the biggest problem for Tang Zhendong.
Facing those American defenders with huge impact, the penalty area he guarded was like the opponent's home.
For an inside player like him who only has the strength of a marginal person, he cannot play without defense.
His game style also needs to be designed for him to design tactics. He has to be comfortable receiving the ball in the low post before he can play a role. Moreover, when facing the inside of the NBA level, how much can he play in the low post singles, which he is best at?
"How did he win MVP again?" Xie Hou muttered, "Is CBA's level so poor?"
"Arthur, what did you say?"
"I said he played really well, and the Charlotte Bobcats should have won him with the first pick in the first round."
That's right, Xie Hou is telling a cold joke.
Hearing his words, Leno could basically be sure that Xie Hou had a clear idea of Tang Zhendong's draft prospects.
As long as Xie Hou did not take the initiative to make requests from the management, even if the Pacers chose one of the fresh graduates with their eyes closed - before making this decision, they would first remove Tang Zhendong's name from the list that could be selected randomly with their eyes closed - they would not choose him.
After a day of trial training, Tang Zhendong came into contact with the world's top training equipment and recovery equipment.
He is full of yearning for NBA.
In the evening, Xie Hou took him to "Xuewei and You" for dinner.
During this period, he tried Xie Hou's words from time to time. He wanted to know what the walkers thought about his trial.
"You acted ok, but I must tell you that they didn't like you." Xie Hou had already figured out how to tell him.
Of course, you can't just say that your physical fitness is as bad as shit and no one wants you.
"As expected." He smiled bitterly. It was strange.
Xie Hou said: "You play well, really, those singles are very beautiful. Unfortunately, there are already many people in our team's inside line, such as Jermaine O'Neal, Andre Kirilenko, Jeff Foster... roughly with a high school student who joined the team last year. There is really no shortage of staff in so many inside lines to compete for time. They prefer to choose defenders."
"It's okay, Brother Xie." Tang Zhendong was completely acceptable, "The Lakers and the Raptors also sent me a tryout invitation, and I will do my best then."
Looking at this energetic young man, Xie Hou couldn't develop any optimism about his NBA future.
It's just a pity that he can't provide any more help.
"The next time I try out, I will be killed when defending. This is a plus in the NBA." Xie Houyan finished this.
