Chapter 610: Shooting Star Invitation (3/4)

"Are there any better female players at Charlotte's chela?"

The Charlotte Chelates are also owned by the Robert Johnson consortium, which is Charlotte's local NBA team and is managed by Robert Johnson's son.

If he wants to participate in the Shooting Star Competition, Qiao Hai can only select one female star player from the chelation team.

However, Kevin Pritchard shook his head: "Chelato's results this year are too poor, there are really no stars." ”

He thought about it again: "Perhaps, the only one who can do it is this year's rookie, the former star player of Stanford University, Nicole Powell." ”

Qiao Hai didn't think about it at all, and only asked one question: "How is her shot?" ”

"Not bad."

After Kevin Pritchard said that it was not bad, Qiao Hai immediately made a decision: "It's her." ”

Then, Qiao Hai frowned again, the female player could say that after all, chela and lynx belong to the same family, and whoever Qiao Hai wants to transfer to participate in the competition, he will have to come.

But the other NBA celebrity is a bit more difficult to get around, under normal circumstances, the team participating in the game will find a famous player from their own team, but the Bobcat has just established a team, and there is no celebrity at all.

Therefore, it is difficult to determine this candidate.

But Qiao Hai still quickly thought of two options: "Kevin, in terms of celebrity, there are two options, one is our guard development coach Jeff Hornacek, and the other is former Hornets legend Dell Curry, the choice is up to you." ”

Kevin Pritchard hesitated slightly, and quickly made a choice: "Dell Curry, he's not just a Hornets legend, but also a local Charlotte player." ”

Qiao Hai nodded: "Okay, it's him, I'll invite him personally." ”

……

February's regular season season continues, with the Bobcats hosting the Utah Jazz on the first day.

The Jazz, who became a dark horse last season, suddenly languished this season, and the combination of Andrei Kirilenko and Carlos Boozer suddenly couldn't win, and Jerry Sloan also knew the reason very well - Mo Williams is difficult to take on the job, and he still needs to find a new core point guard.

So, in the second half of the season, the Jazz simply messed up, they wanted to get a top pick, and then choose from the three of Deron Williams, Chris Paul and Raymond Filton.

In this game against the Bobcats, the Jazz had no idea of winning, they directly let go of the defense and put all their energy on the offensive end.

Then, the Bobcats directly swept a 17-point lead in the third quarter, and finally won 119-105, easily winning the game, counting the last three wins of the month, and the Bobcats won four in a row.

……

After playing Jazz, the Bobcats had a 2-day break, and Joe took time out to take a trip to Charlotte Christian School.

It just so happened that Charlotte Christian School also had a game on this day, and Shane Brown took Jimmy Butler and the Curry brothers to face another strong team in North Carolina.

"Our opponent today is the strongest team in North Carolina other than us, Linton High School in Raleigh, they have a first-year superstar named John Wall, who is a point guard on the court, and Coach Shane said, I'm going to defend him today."

Qiao Hai stood on the side of the court, Jimmy Butler had already introduced Qiao Hai to his opponent today, and at the end, he added: "The reason is that Stephen and Seth can't guard him." ”

Then, a childish voice came from behind him: "Hey, Jimmy, it's not a gentleman to speak ill of people behind your back. ”

Qiao Hai turned his head, and soon saw the Curry brothers who came together, and Dell Curry with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Dale, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Joe, lately, the Bobcats are getting better and better."

The two naturally exchanged pleasantries, and then, Jimmy Butler and the Curry brothers were called away by Shane Brown, and Qiao Hai and Dale Curry found a nearby place and sat down.

"Why do you have time to watch the game today?"

The high school league in North Carolina has been going on for two months, and Joe Hai has only come to watch one game, so Dell Curry feels that Qiao Hai's appearance is very rare.

"I'm looking for you." Qiao Hai didn't beat around the bush at all and went straight to the point.

"Looking for me?"

Dell Curry's face was full of doubts, and Qiao Hai nodded: "That's right, looking for you, here's the thing, the All-Star Weekend is coming, and the league requires us to form a team of shooting stars, and I have decided that James Jones will play as an active player, and Nicole Powell of the Charlotte Chelation team will play as an NBA player, but we still lack a famous player." ”

"You know, the Bobcats don't have a famous player, so, I thought of Charlotte's famous player, and then I thought of you."

Dell Curry kept nodding his head, he already understood.

"How's that, interested?" Qiao Hai then asked.

Dell Curry didn't answer directly, first made a joke: "If you participate, is there any reward?" ”

Qiao Hai also smiled: "The league will pay you an appearance fee, if you win the championship, you can also get a bonus, and at the same time, you can show Stephen and Seth their father's shooting ability, let them know how important shooting is in basketball." ”

"By the way, if you're interested, after All-Star, I can arrange a job for you in Bobcat management."

"Sounds good."

"So?"

"So I agreed."

Things are going very well, and for Dell Curry, participating in an NBA All-Star Weekend is only good for him, not bad.

In particular, he's a star in Charlotte basketball, and if he plays for the Bobcats in a Shooting Star Tournament, he could even take the opportunity to work for the Bobcats.

That's what attracted Dale Curry the most.

So, he agreed without hesitation.

Qiao Hai smiled, stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands: "Then, happy cooperation." ”

……

On the field, the game has already begun.

The opponent is Linton High School in Raleigh City, and the star player is a freshman named John Wall, a name that is also thunderous to Qiao Hai.

Because he heard the name, Qiao Hai also had some interest in this game.

……

Halfway through the game, Charlotte Christ School took a double-digit lead, but they couldn't hold off John Wall, even if Jimmy Butler himself came on to defend.

In the first half, John Wall took a statistic of 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

On the Charlotte Christian School side, Jimmy Butler had 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Stephen Curry had 11 points and 3 assists, and Seth Curry had 9 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Judging from the half-time game, Qiao Hai found that John Wall in high school was a purebred offensive defender who passed very little, and basically went it alone when he got the ball.

He thought that later John Wall seemed to have joined the University of Kentucky, and under the tutelage of John Calyparry, he became a pass-first point guard.

Then, this seems to confirm a point from the side, a capable coach can fundamentally change a talented player.
