With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 300 A Zhan: I am the best in history!Chao Wang: Are you sure?

The Nets stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals, which means that they officially bid farewell to the 15-16 season.

As I said before, the Nets' season has been successful enough, and Wang Chao's performance in the playoffs, especially the Eastern Conference Finals, is also perfect enough.

In the 6 games of the Eastern Conference Finals, Wang Chao averaged 42.2 points, 14.7 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, shooting 54% from the field and 47% from the three-point range.

Super personal ability was fully revealed during the game.

During the game, the Cavaliers used a variety of defensive strategies against Wang Chao, double-teaming the whole court, one-on-one rotation and single-defense consumption, and multiple insiders assisting in double-teaming.

But even so, Wang Chao averaged 40+ points per game in six games, and his super offensive ability was unstoppable.

It's a pity that the strength of the Nets is indeed much worse than that of the Cavaliers. Just like what the media commented, if there is an All-Star player in the Nets who can give Wang Chao some support at critical moments, The series will go very differently.

In these six games, Wang Chao did not hold back. He used all the skills he possessed, including using God's perspective combined with the talent of a good passer to pass the ball to open teammates to score when encountering double-teams, and using bullet time to score at the critical moment. He always scored key goals to tie the score, and even used the combination of ruthless elbows and rebounding idiot skills to grab offensive rebounds inside the Cavaliers.

It is precisely because Wang Chao made full use of these talents and skills that the difference between the two teams in the next few games was not so big.

It is a pity that because of this, at the last moment of the game, Wang Chao has reached the end of his strength. When he needs a lot of input on both offense and defense, even with the talent of a long-distance runner, his physical fitness is still on the verge of the limit, and he frequently uses bullet time. Dealing with the opponent's double-team defense at critical moments also caused Wang Chao to play under severe headache sequelae in the last few minutes of the game.

"It's still not enough... If you want a real 1v5."

Wang Chao can also accept such a result of the game, but in retrospect, he always feels a little bit unwilling.

Wang Chao tried his best, teammate CBA, this sentence is very appropriate in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The main lineup of the Nets did not play very well on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals. Outside German Booker and Bojan Bogdanovic missed three-pointers, and their three-point shooting percentage in six games was 34%. A 31%, far below the level of close to 40% in the regular season.

On the inside, Brook Lopez was easily manipulated by Paul Gasol, who was 8 years older than him, and his shooting percentage was reduced to 41.2 by defense.

The only one in the starting lineup whose performance is not much worse than during the regular season is Nikola Jokic alone. The problem is that Jokic at this stage is positioned as a blue-collar functional player. The average data per game of 13+8+4 became 12.8+7.8+3.5 in the Eastern Conference Finals, and there was no significant change.

On the Cavaliers side, James averaged 29 points, 8.8 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game, Irving averaged 23.2 points and 4.5 assists per game, Gasol averaged 16.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, and Embiid was the worst performer among the three top picks of the Cavaliers. On the court, he was evenly matched with Jokic, averaging 14.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, but even so, if Embiid's performance is placed on the Nets' side, he is also the best performer in the team except Wang Chao.
-
In the east, the Cavaliers defeated the Nets 4:2 to advance to the finals, while the west also scored 4:2. The Warriors defeated the Spurs and advanced to the finals.

However, unlike the Nets and Cavaliers, which were stalemate and fierce throughout the game, although the score was also 4:2, the Warriors won more easily.

The Spurs with Howard + Butler + old GDP, compared to the Spurs with Leonard + Aldridge + old GDP, it is really hard to say which one is stronger or weaker.

Howard's tactical status and role in the Spurs are definitely not as good as Aldridge's, because the functions overlap with Duncan, but Butler's strength is stronger than that of Leonard in the same period. After all, he played with Wang Chao for four years. With the blessing of sparring potion training, and Wang Chao's one-on-one one-on-one training alone, the level of improvement is quite fast.

Originally, Leonard + Aldridge's Spurs lost to the Thunder in the conference semifinals and were defeated, but the Thunder led by Durant and Westbrook will lead the Warriors 3:1 in the Western Conference Finals and push the opponent into desperation.

But the Spurs replaced by Butler + Howard, perhaps because of the restraint relationship, no one inside the Thunder team can match Howard, Adams was unilaterally beaten, and the Spurs defeated the Thunder, and then they were defeated by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. team beat.

The shocking reversal of 1:3 in the Western Conference Finals has not been reproduced, but the classic 16-year finals of the Cavaliers vs. Warriors has been successfully reproduced.

It's just different from the original 15-16 season. The lineups of the two teams have changed greatly. One side has more Embiid and Gasol, and the other side has an extra Cousins.

Judging from the overall strength, regular season record and even the performance of the game, the Warriors must have the upper hand, but the Cavaliers have James after all, and they just defeated the Nets led by Wang Chao. It's hard to say who will win the finals.

As for Wang Chao, he no longer cares much about the outcome of the finals.

Whether James succeeded in realizing his dream and won the first championship trophy in team history for the Cleveland Cavaliers, or whether the Warriors led by Curry were superior and defeated the Cavaliers, it has nothing to do with Wang Chao.

His goal this season has been achieved. Although he failed to exceed the goal and task, which is to lead the team to win the championship, it is enough.

After the baptism of this playoffs, the rookies of the Nets will usher in a period of rapid growth and explosive growth. When a team wants to use the depth of the team to bully Wang Chao next season, they must Ask Jokic, whether Booker and others agreed.

After the end of the playoffs, Wang Chao took a short vacation for himself, and took Miranda and Xiao Keer to Hawaii for a beach vacation.

This can be regarded as a little bit of compensation for the failure of the Eastern Conference Finals.

If Wang Chao led the Nets to defeat the Cavaliers and enter the finals, then at this time they should still be shopping with the Warriors on the stage of the finals. How can they have free time to come to the beach and ocean for leisure?
In the summer of 2016, Wang Chao was very busy.

The signing and signing of the Nets during the offseason is still a secondary issue. The important thing is that the time has come to 2016, and the Olympic Games, which are held every four years, are coming again.

Previously, Wang Chao said in an interview in public that he would no longer participate in other smaller international competitions of the men's basketball team, but this certainly does not include the Olympics. This is the highest honor in international basketball competitions, and even the system has quite generous How could Wang Chao give up the reward easily?

But this time the 16 Rio Olympics will be more difficult than ever for Wang Chao and the Huaguo men's basketball team.

There is no other reason. In the past 08 Beijing Olympics and 12 London Olympics, although the Huaguo men's basketball team successfully defeated the American men's basketball team to win the championship, in the two games, Wang Chao had a mainstay by his side. The mobile Great Wall Dayao.

At that time, Dayao was at the peak of his career, and his combat effectiveness was extremely strong. In terms of lethality and threat level alone, he was no less than the peak O'Neal. As long as he can receive the basketball normally in the penalty area, the opponent should not try to stop him except for fouls. .

The Huaguo men's basketball team relied on Wang Chao and Dayao's dual-core drive, one inside and one outside, to defeat the US men's basketball team and win the gold.

But now in 2016, it has been a full year since Dayao retired, and it is impossible to come back to play in his physical condition. Therefore, the only thing Huaguo men's basketball team can rely on is Wang Chao.

In the past few years, Wang Chao did not participate in the national team competition, which also made Huaguo fans clearly realize the level of combat effectiveness of the Huaguo men's basketball team without Wang Chao.

Even if Wang Chao returned to the national team after a long absence, without Dayao, the mainstay inside, the Huaguo men's basketball team will not be able to face the American dream team, or Spain, Argentina, Lithuania and other international strong teams. Then have an advantage.

It's hard to say whether you can win a medal in the Olympic Games.

Wang Chao plans to go back to China to participate in the national team training after the draft is over, and use the training bonus effect of the training potion to improve the combat effectiveness of the men's basketball team as much as possible. In his opinion, the men's basketball team and the current Nets The difference is not particularly big, maybe the player's strength is worse, but as long as the whole team revolves around him as the absolute core and drives the whole team with his strong personal ability, the performance will not be too bad.

After all, in the international arena, Wang Chao's combat effectiveness must be stronger than in the NBA, and there are many reasons.

First of all, the three-point line under the FIBA ​​rules is shorter than that of the NBA, which is a great benefit for Wang Chao, who is best at shooting three-pointers. Secondly, the FIBA ​​​​allows zone defense without the three-second limit of defense. On the one hand, it affects the performance of those players who are good at holding the ball and breaking through the American Dream Team, and it can also bring out the high advantage of the Huaguo men's basketball team inside.

Finally, and most importantly, the FIBA ​​rule is 10 minutes per quarter and 40 minutes for the whole game, which is a full 8 minutes less than the NBA. It is not impossible to fill the court and always concentrate the ball in your own hands.

Therefore, in the international arena, Wang Chao is more likely to defeat his opponent with his own strength than in the NBA.

A week later, the results of the NBA Finals matchup gradually became clear.

As everyone expected, this is a very close and intense battle of the century.

Both the Cavaliers and the Warriors won at home and tied the score at 2:2.

Then in the crucial tiebreaker, the Warriors, who had home court advantage, defeated the Cavaliers and took the lead in winning the match point 3:2.

In the life-and-death battle of G6 in the finals, James and Irving both broke out and scored 40+ points at the same time. They changed their lives abruptly and evened the point difference to 3:3.

Then on June 6, the finals G19 tiebreaker, this is definitely a battle of the century that can be recorded in NBA history.

In order to compete for the championship, the two teams tried their best to win the championship at all costs. The game process was very stalemate. The two teams took the lead alternately dozens of times, and it was always difficult to distinguish.

But the development of history is amazing. In the last minute of the game, the two teams tied at 1:98. Irving faced Curry's defense and hit a winning three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

This ball is really like Owen's conferred shot from another time and space.

Relying on this three-pointer, the Cavaliers led by 3 points, and then Curry also wanted to tie the score with a three-pointer, but under Gasol's defense, he missed the shot and the shot deviated from the basket.

In this way, the Cavaliers narrowly beat the Warriors by 3 points and won the 15-16 season championship.

The moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game, James couldn't help crying.

It's so hard, it's really hard.

As the proud son of a generation, James never thought that it would be so difficult to win a championship.

In the past three years, he was repeatedly rubbed by Wang Chao and his team in the finals. There was darkness in front of him, and there was no hope at all.

Especially after the Cavaliers formed an ultra-luxury lineup last year but were easily defeated by the Rockets in the Finals, James even felt that it would be difficult for him to win the championship throughout his career.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chao left the Rockets voluntarily, which rekindled his hope.

Facing the swarm of reporters, James could not suppress his emotions, roared to the sky, and shouted that classic line.

"Cleveland, this is for you!"

The failure of the Warriors was both unexpected and reasonable.

With 71 wins in the regular season and four best-team players, the Warriors are indeed the biggest favorites to win the championship. Before the start of the finals, their support rate for winning the championship was as high as 91%, while the Cavaliers only had 9%. The rates also vary greatly.

But as long as you are a traveler, you must know that the Cavaliers' 15:16 comeback in the 1-3 season was shocking.

Although the Cavaliers' comeback in the finals has many objective factors, such as James' shocking leap, allowing Green to get a technical foul, and directly missing a game, and James' key block and absolute three-pointer, giving Owen Create the premise of being able to resolutely shoot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

But it must be admitted that the Warriors also exposed many problems in the series. For example, Curry, as the first core of the Warriors, was not stable enough and was easily targeted by opponents. The team's key battle experience is still not enough, especially at the critical moment of life and death, there is a lack of a super scorer who can stand up and make a final decision. Of course, this role will come soon next season.

The Warriors in this time and space are stronger than the time and space in terms of lineup, because there is an extra Cousins ​​​​in the interior, but this is not necessarily a good thing.

Last season, the Warriors were eliminated by the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals. Therefore, the team has no experience in the finals, which also laid some hidden dangers for this final defeat. At the same time, the existence of Cousins ​​​​is not completely important to the Warriors a good thing.

In the 15-16 season, although Cousins ​​has developed some three-point shooting ability, he is still a heavy inside player in essence, relying on the advantage of body tonnage to attack under the basket.

His style conflicts with the Warriors' five-death lineup that dominates the league itself, and if he is on the court, Bogut, the Warriors' core defensive player inside, can't play.

Cousins ​​is indeed very strong on the offensive end, but his defensive ability is not very good, and his ability to protect the frame is not even as good as Green.

These problems have not been exposed under the strong strength of the Warriors, but when the opponent is the Cavaliers who also have the league's top lineup, they become very obvious.

In order to curb the combination of Gasol and Embiid in the Cavaliers, the Warriors had to keep Cousins ​​on the court, but his presence on the court did not make the Warriors' defense better. Sings' offense will also slow down the offensive rhythm, making it impossible for the Warriors to show the advantages of the mobility of the five dead lineups.

In addition, there is another thing that is not good for the Warriors, that is, Wang Chao made the elevator door tactics appear in the league in advance and carried forward. At the moment when Wang Chao won 7 championships, the league has already blown the elevator door mobile pick-and-roll problem. The penalty is quite strict, which is equivalent to putting an end to a major killer move of the Warriors in the early days.

All in all, the Cavaliers were able to defeat the Warriors 4:3 in the finals. Like the original time and space, they also took advantage of the right time, place, people and various factors, which created the first championship trophy in the history of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This championship is so important to the Cavaliers and to James, that after the game, James couldn't hide his excitement when he was interviewed by reporters, and said the following words.

"From a basketball point of view, when I ushered in the first championship for the Cavaliers, I was already the best basketball player in history, because in this season, I defeated Wang Chao in the Eastern Conference Finals In the finals, they defeated the Warriors who won 71 wins in the regular season. There has never been a team with more than 70 wins in NBA history that is not a championship team, or even a dynasty team. There are also the 72-win Rockets of Wang Chao and Yao Ming. We defeated the Warriors with 70 wins and the Nets with 72 wins. "

It is not surprising that people say some irrational things when they are emotionally high.

James was completely immersed in the joy of winning the second championship of his career at this time, and he didn't realize how his words would repercussions in the league when they spread.

Many media people collectively commented on this incident in just one day.

"James declared that he is the best basketball player in history? Is there any mistake? If I didn't have Internet access at home, I would even think that LeBron has won the seventh championship in his career when I saw this sentence, but carefully Look at it, sorry, this is the second championship in his career, and he has just tied his former teammate Wade in the number of championships."

"I can understand LeBron's excitement after winning the championship. No matter how excited he is, he can't ignore the objective facts. He brought Cleveland the first championship in team history. It is indeed great, but there has never been a shortage of great players in this league, and The number is still quite large, and LeBron James can only be regarded as a mediocre one among them."

"Let's take a look at LeBron James' career history, one regular season MVP, two NBA championships, two FMVPs, ten best first teams, two best second teams, two All-NBA Star MVP...the sum of these honors is really great. If I were to rank him, he should be around No.12 to fifteen in history. If he has the opportunity to win another regular season MVP trophy or win the third championship If it is, it may be close to the edge of the top ten in history, but there is obviously still a long, long distance from the best player in history."

For a while, the enthusiasm about James' comments was even greater than that of the Cavaliers winning the championship.

Even Wang Chao, who had just returned to New York from a vacation in Hawaii, was stopped by reporters to ask for his views on this matter.

"I think it's very interesting. LeBron just won the championship. He does have the capital to say this, but are you sure? We can wait until next season to discuss this answer."

Wang Chao's answer smacked somewhat of gunpowder.

You James has only one regular season MVP, two championships and FMVP, how dare you come to touch the number one in history?
Now there is still some controversy in the league about the true ranking of the first in history. Whether Wang Chao or Jordan is the first in history will often cause some debate.

In terms of hard honors, Wang Chao and Jordan are basically on par, except that they have one more championship than Jordan.

The championship won during the Suns period, although Wang Chao can be regarded as one of the main players, his tactical status in the team must be lower than that of Nash and Stoudemire. At most, he can only be regarded as the third champion. Not too high.

Therefore, with this point in mind, there are still many local fans in the United States who stubbornly believe that Jordan is the well-deserved No. 1 in history. Wang Chao wants to surpass Jordan and continue to prove himself, such as winning the championship with the Nets.

Just judging from the support of most ordinary fans, the number of people who think Wang Chao is the No.1 in NBA history has accounted for more than 60%, Jordan has about 40%, and about 10% of fans think it is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Russell, etc. A superstar from ancient times.

But LeBron James is definitely not in the discussion, there is no dispute about that.
-
Wang Chao returned to New York before returning to China, of course he had something to do.

The end of the NBA Finals means that preparations for the new season are about to begin.

The first is the NBA's annual draft. This time the league draft is still held at the Nets' home stadium, the Barclays Center.

On June 6, the 24 NBA draft was held as scheduled.

Although the Nets traded away multiple draft picks last season, the first round of 2016 is still in hand.

It's just that due to the 67 wins in the regular season this season and the record in the Eastern Conference finals of the playoffs, this first-round pick is not of much value, and it is at the bottom of the first round.

And in fact, among the rookies in 2016, there are very few more valuable players. First of all, the top pick must be of little value. Ben Simmons is full of talent, and the draft template is James, but this guy is just below the head. Comparing it, the brain is 1 times worse than Zhan Huang's.

Among the rookies in the lottery, there are a few good candidates, such as Brandon Ingram at No. 11, Jaylen Brown at No. [-], and Jamal Murray at No. [-]. Domantas Sabonis is a potential rookie with good prospects for future development.

But if you continue to go down, there will be no particularly good candidates, especially the No. 20 fifth pick in the first round of the Nets. There are no potential rookies at all.

However, if you focus on the second round, there are still a few talents that can be made, such as Ivica Zubac and Malcolm Brogdon. Demon King Zhou Qi.

Although Zhou Qi will have many black spots in China in the future, such as Poles, egg-filled pancakes, NBA-related households, etc.

But it is undeniable that Zhou Qi is really the only hope for the Huaguo men's basketball team to rise in the post-Mobile Great Wall era.

With a height of 2 meters and an exaggerated wingspan of 16 meters, in terms of static talent, Zhou Qi is at the top level even in the NBA. Of course, as a Huaguo player, Zhou Qi's dynamic talent is not outstanding, and he weighs 2 kg It is too thin and has a serious lack of resistance. Even if it increases to 33 kg in the future, it still does not have enough physical advantages.

Leaving aside the fact that he cannot adapt to the intensity of NBA confrontation, Zhou Qi successfully won the title of Big Devil in the CBA by virtue of his top-level static talent. The defensive end is extremely terrifying, and he can be called the Bill Russell of the CBA. Because of his strength, he couldn't do what Russell won 11 championships with the Celtics.

There are two important factors that will restrict Zhou Qi's development in the NBA in the future. The first is his serious lack of body and confrontation ability. His thin body makes it impossible for him to survive in the fierce NBA. The second is his career. Attitude and on-field resilience issues.

The two black spots of egg-filled biscuits and Poles are the best interpretations of it.

The former proves that Zhou Qi, as a professional athlete, is irresponsible for his own body management.

Being photographed by reporters buying egg-filled biscuits is just an introduction. It is not unforgivable for sports players to eat one or two meals of junk food occasionally, including many NBA stars who occasionally get greedy, but most of the time they can still manage themselves strictly. eating habits.

But Zhou Qi is different. When he was in the NBA, he was complained by the Rockets trainer for his lack of self-discipline. Not only did he not finish eating the food prepared by the professional nutritionist as required many times, but he often went to the street to buy garbage. food.

As for the ability to resist stress at the spiritual level, it is directed at the black spot of the Poles.

In the key round of the key game that directly determines the qualifications of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team for the Olympics, Zhou Qi, who was in charge of serving the sideline ball, made a fatal mistake. next game.

After that game, Zhou Qi was spat out by angry Chinese fans, and was dubbed a Polish because their opponent at that time was the Polish men's basketball team.

After this incident, many people even blamed Zhou Qi, saying that netizens should not put too much pressure on the players. The Huaguo men's basketball players have already tried their best to play, and what we should give them is support. And encouragement, not endless abuse.

In Wang Chao's opinion, this is all bullshit.

Is it because the national football team is scolded less?As the mainstay of the team with high expectations, he did not perform well in the whole game, and made fatal mistakes at critical moments, which ruined the good game. If you don’t spray, you still have to praise it?

Being scolded can only show that you play the game yourself, and you deserve it. Why are you all scolded, and no one scolded Ah Lian, the captain of the Huaguo men's basketball team at that time?Because he tried his best throughout the game and scored a team-high 24 points and 8 rebounds. His performance made it impossible to find any faults.

Wang Chao was also one of the most ruthless people who sprayed Zhou Qi on the Internet back then. After the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, as the Arab League gradually faded out of the national team, he discovered very sadly that the only insider of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team can rely on and look forward to Yes, there is really only one Zhou Qi left.

So even though he doesn't like Zhou Qi very much, Wang Chao is still ready to give Zhou Qi a hand.
-
The draft is in full swing, Zhou Qi and his agent are sitting on the sidelines, looking a little nervous.

Originally, they did not intend to come to the United States. Zhou Qi decided to participate in the 2016 NBA Draft. It was just an attempt for them. Everyone knew that Zhou Qi’s level could not play in the NBA. What they expected was Zhou Qi’s outstanding performance. His static talent, and Wang Chaoyao's brilliant achievements in the NBA in the past few years, can allow them to get some blessings from off-court factors, so that teams can look at him and choose him.

This strategy is definitely correct. Even sitting on the bench in the NBA is stronger than in the CBA, because Zhou Qi can enjoy NBA-level training when he is on the bench. It is very important for Zhou Qi who has a lot of room for growth.

In fact, when Zhou Qi officially announced his participation in the draft, many teams immediately showed strong interest in him and invited him to participate in team trials, including but not limited to the Celtics, Lakers, Clippers, Grays Bears, Suns and other teams.

The Houston Rockets who chose Dayao are also very interested in Zhou Qi, but they currently have two centers in the team, Whiteside and Gobert. Too much playing time and development.

The reason why Zhou Qi really decided to come to the United States to participate in the draft was a phone call from Wang Chao.

Wang Chao is an absolute legend for any Chinese basketball player, especially for Zhou Qi, a post-90s player, he is a real idol.

Wang Chao, who entered the league only two years later than Dayao, is now the true spokesperson of Huaguo basketball. His influence and appeal far exceed Dayao's. After all, Wang Chao is really good at playing in terms of personal honor.

Zhou Qi grew up watching Wang Chaoqiu since he was a child, but Wang Chao has withdrawn from the national team two years ago. As a result, Zhou Qi, who only gradually entered the men's basketball team in 2014, has not played with Wang Chao as a serious partner so far. .

On the phone, Wang Chao's meaning was concise and to the point.

"Since you have the idea of ​​joining an NBA team to improve and become stronger, I can help you and arrange for the Nets to sign you, but you must be mentally prepared. I will use the strictest standards to ask you and supervise you. Daily training, if you can’t stand it or disobey discipline, I will kick you out of the team without hesitation, remember, my patience is limited, you only have one chance, understand?”

Wang Chao's tone was not very good. After all, he didn't like Zhou Qi too much, but Wang Chao also felt that people will change. For example, some players with poor self-control ability and weak willpower, if there is a If a tough mentor forces him to move forward, he can also be lifted to a higher height.

Former Lakers All-Star center Andrew Bynum is a good example.

Bynum, once known as the little shark, is a typical player who lacks self-discipline. The Lakers selected him because of his outstanding talent and trained him for many years. Finally, he was trained to be a player who could score 19+ points per game at his peak. 12 super centers.

But after leaving the Lakers, Bynum began to let himself go quickly, did not train seriously, and ran to bowling during the injury period, which aggravated the injury and increased his weight rapidly... In the two or three years after leaving the Lakers, Bynum has fallen To the point where there is no ball to play at all.

In the 13-14 season, Bynum played a total of 26 games for the Cavaliers and Pacers, averaging 8.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and then disappeared from the league forever, and he was only 26 years old that year.

It wasn't until this time that people realized that Bynum's passable professional attitude and hard work when he was in the Lakers at the beginning was entirely due to a super paranoid in the team who was so strict with himself that he was almost paranoid, and also strict with his teammates. Crazy Kobe Bryant.

Even Bynum, who is fearless and fearless, has to behave in front of Kobe and dare not make any fools.

Wang Chao feels that with his current status in the arena and his stalwart status in the hearts of fans and players in China, he is completely qualified for this job.

You only need to take a little trouble to supervise Zhou Qi, and then add the blessing effect of the training potion, maybe you can really make Zhou Qi practice something, not to mention, even if you can train Zhou Qi into Gobert, it’s not a loss. .

In the future, everyone will joke that Gobert is just a super blue-collar who can defend, and he has nothing to do with DPOY's defensive honor. If he really faces Jokic in the interior, Embiid and other top interiors will still be beaten by various fancy tricks. It's the toy of the top insider.

But Gobert is holding the league's top salary, with a maximum annual salary of $4665 million.

Gobert and Zhou Qi are close in height and wingspan, and even after Zhou Qi gained weight, his body shape is very similar. Of course, in terms of upper body strength, even after gaining weight, Zhou Qi cannot compare with Gobert, and there is still some gap in defensive skills. .

In addition, Zhou Qi's habit of playing in the CBA makes him not like to actively seek confrontation in the interior. When facing the opponent's aggressive playing style, he will always subconsciously choose to avoid. These are what Wang Chao wants to think after the team selects Zhou Qi. way to correct the problem.

If a Gobert version of Zhou Qi can really be trained, it will be a good thing for Wang Chao. After all, after Dayao retired, the combat effectiveness of the Huaguo men's basketball team dropped sharply, and Wang Chao's only helper in the team was With the Arab League alone, Wang Chao must have enough helpers if he wants to continue to maintain sufficient dominance in the international arena.

This is why he wants the Nets to choose Zhou Qi next and is willing to spend time and effort to give him a chance to embark on a different life trajectory.

The draft is still going on.

Zhou Qi sat off the court, his palms were already full of sweat. Although he had learned from Wang Chao in advance that the Nets would choose him, he was still nervous.

Soon, the draft progressed to the No. 20 fifth pick in the first round, which is the pick of the Brooklyn Nets.

The NBA president held the envelope, smiled at the camera and said: "The No.20 fifth pick from the Brooklyn Nets in the first round, their choice is - Malcolm Brogdon from the University of Virginia."

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Qi was stunned, and even his manager was a little dumbfounded.

After Zhou Qi participated in the joint trial training before, he received a lot of attention. After all, there are too few Huaguo players with his static talent. The last Huaguo player who joined the league purely relying on static talent was Wang Chao in 04. .

Therefore, Zhou Qi's draft predictions given by most mainstream media in the league are all at the end of the first round, about 27 or [-] picks.

Even the radical Huaguo media touted it as the top ten pick in the lottery. Of course, it can only be seen for fun.

The Nets' No.20 fifth overall pick in the first round was just enough to get Zhou Qi, but they used this first-round pick to select another player.

This is of course Wang Chao's arrangement.

Although there is some selfishness, it is a bit too extravagant and wasteful to choose Zhou Qi in the first round.

Zhou Qi's draft pick prediction is very high, but how can these old fritters in the league have a fuel-efficient lamp?Outstanding static talent does not mean that you are truly invincible. In the NBA for so many years, how many geniuses have appeared, and there are many who surpass Zhou Qi in terms of static talent, but just like there are two types of talent, static talent and dynamic talent. A static talent is not enough to make every team in the league fall in love with it.

Zhou Qi's physical fitness, confrontation ability and technique are all serious points. It is said that his bench press data during the trial training was only 60 kg. Even an ordinary person can reach the bench press weight of 60 kg after a short period of training. , let alone a professional basketball player like Zhou Qi, this obviously lost a lot of points in the hearts of scouts.

Therefore, in the original historical process, Zhou Qi, who was predicted to be the 27th pick in the first round of the draft, fell all the way to the 43rd pick in the second round before being selected by the Rockets.

Wang Chao is very aware of this, so he did not rush to sign Zhou Qi with the first round pick, but chose Brogdon.

原本布罗格登也是一个次轮秀，初入联盟便展现出不俗的即战力，生涯三分球投篮命中率可以达到38.8%，并且在20-21赛季在步行者常规赛出战56场比赛中场均能砍下21.2分5篮板6助攻的数据。

The purpose of choosing Brogdon is to enhance the three-point firepower of the Nets' outside substitutes.

As for Zhou Qi, he can find a way to trade for a draft pick in the second round. Anyway, the second round pick is worthless, and he can get it by paying a little bit of chips.

The draft quickly entered the second round.

Zhou Qi, who was already sweating on his forehead, finally heard his name being read.

“波士顿凯尔特人队次轮第35顺位的选秀权，他们的选择是来自华国，身高7尺1寸（2米16），体重210磅（95公斤）的中锋周琦！”

Until this moment, Zhou Qi's hanging heart finally fell.
