Chapter 40: Osborne's Strength
Osborne's preseason grinding, as well as Osborne's super good performance in the preseason, has won the attention and favor of Pistons head coach Larry Brown.
Osborne's current strength has made great progress, with an A-level offensive ability, a C-level defensive strength, and a B-level overall strength that is barely a B-level.
Osborne wanted to improve his overall strength, so he flattered the system god and said: "The system is big, can I draw a lottery now, preferably about defensive skill prop cards or something." ”
The god of the system heard Osborne's cry and explained: "Don't you think that the things in the system are free, it needs to pay a certain price, but it is not a matter of course, and the lottery can only be carried out every month, I don't dare to open a small stove for you alone, if you urgently need to improve your strength, there are only two ways." ”
"The first is that you can exercise your body and basketball skills in the real world, which is the most fundamental way, and the second is to exchange them for skill props and other auxiliary prop cards through lottery exchanges. There is no other shortcut at all, so even if there is a plug-in, you must work hard to cultivate internal skills in order to dominate the NBA arena. ”
"Of course, Osborne, it's not just your individual quality, but the quality of the team and your fit with the players in this team, the trust of the manager and other players, and a bit of luck. In this way, your strength is already the top in the NBA at this stage. As long as you can have these conditions, you are invincible. ”
"So your task for the next stage is to stand in the starting position, so with your three-point shooting skills and your passing skills, your stats will definitely look very good. So your luck has been so good that it exploded, as soon as you crossed over, you were selected by the Pistons, the championship team in the 03~04 season, you just need to work hard to get the starting position in the playoffs, you know, in the middle of the trade, Rashid Wallace was traded, which is enough for you to play beautiful statistics. ”
Osborne also heard that his luck was already very good, not only playing his beloved basketball, but also the world's highest level of basketball, and a lot of dollars to squander, as long as he soaked an American blonde and blue-eyed Yanma, it was really a proper winner in life, and he couldn't ask too much.
When our OMG was still suffering from gains and losses, the outside world made a relatively objective evaluation and potential prediction for this year's rookies, as well as rookie comparisons.
The American media is already crazy about the gorgeous preseason statistics of the '03 rookies, and can't help but start touting the no-bound.
LeBron James: Averaged 38.5 minutes per game, 18.6 shots, 27.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.8 blocks, 3.4 fouls, and 4.3 turnovers.
Topstar Dakomilisic: Averaged 25.3 minutes per game, 12 shots, 13.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.1 steals, 2.3 blocks, 3.2 fouls and 1.8 turnovers.
Tanhua show Carmelo Anthony: Averaged 40.3 minutes per game, 20.3 shots, 30.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.4 steals, 0.3 blocks, 4.3 fouls, 2.6 turnovers.
Fourth pick Chris Posh: Averaged 30.2 minutes per game, 15.6 shots, 20.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks, 3.2 fouls and 2.3 turnovers.
Fifth pick, Dwyane Wade: Averaged 30.1 minutes per game, 19.3 shots, 30.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 3.3 steals, 2.2 blocks, 3.4 fouls and 3.4 turnovers.
……
Michael Jean, Osborn, 25th pick: Averaged 29.6 minutes per game, 20.1 shots, 22.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, 9.9 assists, 3.2 steals, 2.1 blocks, 3.2 fouls and 3.2 turnovers.
The media is really a bunch of boring people, and the strength and potential of the 03 rookies are evaluated at the beginning of the preseason data comparison.
The first is the champion show LeBron James, he is considered a combination of Magic and Chamberlain, the pride of the sky, the little emperor, is the only rookie player who can withstand the unlimited praise of the American media, but at this stage it is also necessary to improve the projection ability and defensive ability, the physical fitness is already top-notch, and the passing ability is very Magic Johnson's style, a model of future superstars.
Bigstar Dakomilisic is a powerful swingman, but the ceiling is an All-Star level, a strong blue-collar center, and his personality is too shy to fit the Pistons' tough basketball style.
Tanhua show Carmelo Anthony, a swingman who can compete with LeBron James for the top pick, has top scoring ability, advanced back hitting skills, top projection ability, defensive ability needs to be strengthened, physical fitness needs to be improved, and he is also a model of a superstar at this stage, with a bright future.
The fourth-pick Chris Bosh is a model of future technical power forward, with an All-Star-level swingman at the lower limit and a superstar at the upper limit, with a somewhat thin physique, a defensive ability that needs to be improved, and a lack of leadership temperament.
The fifth pick Dwyanwade is a top swing man, top scoring ability, skilled European step, the short board is not too tall, the height of shoes is only 1.93 meters, but the physical fitness is strong, the speed is extremely fast, as fast as lightning. A superstar exemplar, with a strong style of play and outstanding leadership skills.
……
The 25th pick Osborne Michael Jean, who is now considered by the media to be the biggest missing pearl in the 03rd class, has very good projection ability, especially excellent three-point ability, first-class passing ability, but the breakthrough ability is average, the physical fitness needs to be improved, and the defensive ability needs to be improved. Extremely competitive personality, such as Kevin Garnett-like, Kobe Bryant-style paranoia, and very flamboyant, not knowing low-key, powerful rookie player, template can not be located, absolute phenomenal player, tumor or superstar model, the future is differentiated, unpredictable.
If Osborne heard the media's evaluation of him, he must be very happy, and said that he was high-profile, which is the strategy provided by the system god, and the NBA league is also a huge vanity fair, if you don't be high-profile, it will definitely be forgotten by forgetful NBA fans, so in order to have higher exposure, you can only keep your mouth shut and keep creating topics, so as to quickly get attention.
Although Osborne was high-profile, Osborne felt that his strength was far from enough, and then started his crazy training and basketball skills, waiting for the start of the regular season.
