Chapter 126: Historical Events Filled with Doubts

In the currently confirmed list, the C position is Avidas Sabonis.

In the PF position, Dazhi can swing in the C and PF positions, Dunleavy is an all-round forward, big forward and small forward, plus the best blue-collar Reggie Evans.

There are a lot of people in the SF position, Luke Wharton, Hildo Turkoglou, Gerard Wallace, John Salmons, these 4 small forwards are offensive, defensive and organized, with the ball and without the ball, which is very comprehensive.

SG position, core Dwyane Wade, two defensive stalwarts Raga Bell, DeSean Stevenson.

PG position, only Earl Watson.

The current 12-man roster is only a preliminary discussion by Hu Qingniu and the trio, and the Bobcats lineup can only be officially determined after all teams have issued a protected list.

The current Hu Qingniu can be described as the eye of the storm in the news, he has the news that all fans want to know, who the Bobcats want, or what is the current establishment of the Bobcats, you know, including the general manager of Magic, all the staff lists have not been announced.

Therefore, at present, the media is only targeting Jordan and Hu Qingniu, Barkley, the fat man, has repeatedly asked to fly to Charlotte on behalf of TNT for an exclusive interview, and ESPN has also asked Hu Qingniu a few times behind his ass.

But Hu Qingniu didn't agree to an exclusive interview, and in the end, the interview request from the imperial court station also arrived, and Hu Qingniu still accepted it very face-saving, but until the Bobcat team was fully established, at least the players should be there.

Then Hu Qingniu left everything and took Ewing to quietly take a plane and fly directly to Los Angeles, with only Dazhi, so that Dazhi would be left alone to play on the streets, and it would be better for Hu Qingniu to plan early and take him to Charlotte and Wade for special training.

Now Dazhi has been announced by the state to give up, and Hu Qingniu knows the cause and result of last year's incident. If many years after the incident, all the fans supported Dazhi, now in China, Dazhi can be said to be isolated, everyone is scolding Dazhi traitors, and only a handful of rational fans have been drowned out in the overwhelming politically correct reports.

The Dazhi incident laid a puzzling foreshadowing from the very beginning. As a rookie in the basketball world, being eligible to be selected for the NBA is a manifestation of the progress of basketball, and it is something that every player engaged in basketball cannot want.

Then, a young man born in the 70s can get this honor, which is also the result of his years of hard work with the help of coaches and teams. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Dazhi is determined to prove that he also has the same ability, and that he can also gain a foothold in the NBA arena and realize his super dream. However, sometimes fate and chance play tricks on people like that. If you miss an opportunity, you may never have it again.

Things are not going as smoothly and rosily as one might think. So much so that later it became uproar and confusing, and even caused people to think and question the domestic basketball industry.

In fact, from Hu Qingniu's point of view, he believes that this incident is not a separate event, and it should be interpreted in combination with the events that happened before and after.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, in the game against the American Dream Team, Dazhi made a move that shocked the world - successfully blocked Hill, who was known as "Jordan's successor". And in Atlanta, Dazhi met Admiral Robinson, who was in full swing at the time.

The young Dazhi has emerged and is highly favored. Immediately a university in the United States invited Dazhi to play. The Bayi team did not let go. Dazhi was not yet 19 years old that year, and it was the growth period.

After returning to China, the 19-year-old Dazhi started his reign in the CBA, he led the Bayi team to open a consecutive championship, and at this incredibly young age, he stood at the top of domestic basketball even more incredible. In China, Dazhi has no pursuit, and even Yao Ming can only be his little brother, looking up at his back behind him.

In the 1999 NBA draft, Dazhi was selected by the Mavericks Nelson Sr. But the Bayi team and the national team did not let go, knowing that Dazhi could not come, the Mavericks still chose Dazhi. And just the year before, Germany's Nowitzki was also selected, and unlike in China, the German Basketball Association quickly released him.

As far as the situation at that time was concerned, Dazhi's technology and fame were not comparable to Nowitzki's. But now Nowitzki has grown into a generation of superstars, and Dazhi has missed the perfect time. That year, Dazhi was 21 years old, and there was still a lot of room for growth.

It was not until April 2001 that Dazhi led the Bayi team to win 6 consecutive championships in the domestic league, and he was finally allowed to go to the NBA to win glory for the country. Until this year, Yao Ming failed to overthrow Dazhi's dominance in China, so Yao Ming said in the memory documentary that Dazhi is his eternal idol and guide, and he embarked on this road from the beginning to defeat Dazhi.

In April 2001, it had been five years since Dazhi shocked the world in 1996, and two years had passed since 1999, when he was selected. In 5 years, the country with the highest level of basketball on the planet can completely forget about a brilliant young man; And 2 years is enough for Dazhi to change from a rising star to an NBA fringe person who urgently needs to prove himself.

After only participating in 10 NBA games, Dazhi flew directly to Moscow to participate in the public relations activities of the Chinese Olympic bidding delegation.

Dazhi participated in the Olympic bid, the East Asian Games, the Asian Basketball Championships, and the World University Games, but he gave up the NBA summer training camp, the summer league, and the initial games of the new season, which were the most crucial for him. But Dazhi did not show the slightest complaint.

In fact, Dazhi knows very well its situation in the Mavericks? Due to joining the NBA two years late, Dazhi missed the basic course that he should have completed like a primary school student skipping a grade. And the NBA's summer training camp is like a college entrance exam refresher. In order to make up for the missed course, the pressure on Dazhi's shoulders can be imagined. But before going to the United States again, he told Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Jicheng: "If I could have gone to the NBA two years ago, maybe I would be Nowitzki." ”

At the end of 2001, Dazhi returned to the NBA Dallas Mavericks. At that time, more than a dozen games had already started in the new season, and Dazhi had not participated in the team's pre-season team-wide training and tactical drills

It's a shame that playing time is not guaranteed at all, and by then Nowitzki had grown into an absolute mainstay of the team, an all-star in the league, with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. Seeing Nowitzki's progress, what was Dazhi thinking in his heart?
