When pride still matters

Chapter 47 God’s First Sense

11 is better than 2
Yu Fei did not give Haywood a second chance to attack, and the trial against the Wizards ended faster than expected.

"This is my good brother!" Kwame Brown threw a towel to Yu Fei.

Yu Fei was completely confused. When did he and Brown become brothers?
Then, Yu Fei walked up to Collins and Jordan, just to say hello.

Jordan put on the airs of a senior and said: "You play well, dribble once or twice, and then shoot. That's what I want to see."

Yu Fei appropriately showed the arrogance and arrogance of young people: "Will you choose me with the first pick?"

Everyone knows this can't happen.

But Jordan still wants to keep this possibility on the surface: "It depends on the performance of Kwame and Tyson."

Yu Fei walked away.

Collins looked at his back and said to Jordan, "He doesn't look like Scotty at all."

Jordan didn't answer. He was seriously considering selecting Yu Fei in the draft.

He is a person who is superstitious about first feelings. As early as a few months ago at the ABCD training camp, Yu Fei left a deep impression on him. Today, his performance intensified this feeling.

However, the trial training is not over yet, and the duel between Kwame Brown and Tyson Chandler is the highlight of the day.

Yu Fei sat aside, not very interested, because he knew who won this duel since the Wizards later selected Brown.

And Yu Fei feels that there is no suspense about Brown winning.

Chandler's body is a treasure, even if he does not become another Kevin Garnett, even if he is not Marcus Camby with a better shooting, based on his talent alone, as long as he is willing to spend time on the training ground to improve It is not difficult for you to become a first-class blue-collar player in the NBA.

But now, his body is too thin compared to Brown.

Moreover, Brown has offensive skills that far exceed his own.

They are both insiders, but they are not as good at confrontation and their skills are even worse. How can Chandler have any chance of winning?

Before the duel began, Chandler tried to be friendly, smiling and reaching out for a fist bump with Brown.

However, Brown had a cold face. He had no interest in fist bumping with a competitor who might take away his No. [-] pick position.

Therefore, he rejects Chandler to show that he is not here to make friends.

Then, the bullfight between the two begins.

Chandler, like Brandon Haywood, has the option to attack from the low post, an offer Brown declined, believing he's skilled enough to attack from the outside.

If scouts think he's Weber II, there's a reason.

As an inside post, Brown's ball-holding ability is indeed pretty good, but his ball-holding threat actually comes from his unrivaled confrontation advantage in high school basketball.

At this time, Brown weighed 250 pounds (113KG), while Chandler only weighed 233 pounds (105KG).

In terms of weight, both of them are not qualified to be in the NBA, because now is the era of O'Neal's rule, heavy inside players are popular, but if it is a comparison of the same level, Brown has a huge advantage.

On the first ball, after Brown pushed away Chandler, he forced his way into the basket and dunked.

Then there are shooting, steps under the basket, and various low-level offensive skills full of high school flavor.

Brown has offensive skills that Chandler cannot match, but these skills may not work in the NBA.

However, these were enough for Brown to dominate this matchup.

Tyson Chandler was defeated in a one-on-one match.

It wasn't Brown's most exciting performance of the day, nor was it the moment that sealed his status as the No. [-] pick.

After the one-on-one at this moment, Brown walked toward Jordan and Collins just like Yu Fei did before.

I thought he was just there to say hello.Who would have thought that Brown would actually use a competitor's tone and demeanor to say to God who had exiled him from the basketball court: "If you choose me with the first pick, I will never let you down."

This is not the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing is that Brown said at the end: "If you want to return to basketball in the future, I will beat you!"

If the Wizards must use the No. [-] pick to select a player, Jordan wants a competitor similar to himself.

Before Brown said these words, what Jordan admired most was Yu Fei.

But choosing Yu Fei with the No. [-] pick would be too extravagant.

Therefore, Jordan has thought about trading the No. [-] pick more than once.

Then Brown came to him and said these words.

Plus the way he beat Chandler.

Jordan knows Brown still has a long way to go.Jordan knows that Brown's current skills are simply not good enough for the NBA. Jordan knows that it will take at least three years for Brown to perform stably in the NBA.

However, Jordan trusted his first instinct.

Just like he fully appreciates Yu Fei's way of playing, this feeling will never disappear as long as it appears in his heart.

At its core, Jordan's drafting was simple and he valued his first instincts.

In the future, when he saw Adam Morrison shed tears due to defeat in March Madness, he believed that this white man with retro style of play was the second Larry Bird, because he valued winning more than anything else; a man who would A man who sheds tears on the court because he lost will never fail. He sincerely appreciates those who truly desire to win. This appreciation transcends reason and allows Jordan to ignore all disadvantages.

Brown is in a different situation. It's not about winning or emotion. It's about confidence and a competitor's mentality.Doesn’t Brown know that what he just said and done is a sign of defiance to God? 22 years later, Brandon Miller would do the same thing, so Jordan, who had lost confidence in his NBA boss career, still chose him against all odds.

Miller was lucky that he didn't have to take God's scourge himself after his blatant blasphemy.

22 years ago today, Kwame Brown started this period of history, he spoke those words from the heart, and he believed he could do it.

Jordan doesn't usually express his affection for someone publicly, but he really likes Brown now.

Jordan just smiled at Brown's offense, his brown eyes full of tolerance and expectation for the young man, and they began to talk in depth, while Chandler was completely ignored.

What Yu Fei is sure of is that Brown is about to win the No. [-] pick position just like he did in his previous life.

But soon he will find that everything here is not what he wants.

The first generation Da Fei was not a gentle senior who would obediently give up his position to young people and admit that he was not capable.

What Yu Fei didn't expect was that that night, Jordan invited him, Brown and agent Trem to have dinner.

At the dinner table, Jordan, representing the Wizards, promised Brown that his name would be the first to be called when the draft began.

Jordan has no commitment to Fei. Although the Wizards have no other first-round picks, he very much hopes that Yu Fei can play for the Wizards in the future, so he will find a way to obtain draft rights through trade to get him.

This is not a promise, this is a possibility.

Yu Fei may play for the Wizards in the future, but the situation is still unclear and he needs to continue to participate in trial training.

That night, Yu Fei returned to the hotel, wondering whether he was happy or worried that the Wizards did not give him a direct draft commitment.

Being drafted by the Wizards is undoubtedly the worst career start for any 2001 rookie, but he has tried out with several teams so far. Although he has received two draft commitments, neither of them was signed within the top ten. Bit.

Although he completely outperformed Brandon Haywood in the Wizards' trial, Haywood had no lottery prospects. It was much easier for the Wizards to select Haywood through trade than to select Yu Fei.

The next day, Yu Fei waited for arrangements after arriving at Trime.

"The next stop is Cleveland, and New Jersey has officially extended you a second workout invitation."

PS: Got the news, it will be on Sanjiang on the 23rd and will be available on National Day. Thank you everyone for your support.
