Autumn turned to winter, spring blossomed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of April 2006. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past four months, Zhang Chu has led the Huayang University team to CUBA and won the final CUBA championship. Due to the upgrade of the skill of mind ball control, Zhang Chu's ball control range has reached four meters, and his strength has increased greatly, coupled with the gradual increase in height, his defense can be said to be unmatched in the entire CUBA, often as long as he is on the field, he can keep a clean sheet against the opponent, therefore, he was given a nickname, called "freezer", which means that he is like a freezer, the opponent's hand feels cold, as he goes farther and farther in CUBA, his achievements are getting higher and higher, and finally, the fans call him the "ice god"!
In the past four months, the relationship between Liu Qingxue and Zhang Chu has become closer and closer, Zhang Chu trains until 10 o'clock every night, and Liu Qingxue reads books in the library until 10 o'clock, and then the two return together......
In the past four months, the Houston Rockets on the other side of the ocean, the two leading stars---- Yao Ming and Maddie, have been injured and reimbursed by the team doctor for the season, and the team's record has plummeted, and after the 05-06 season, they only won the 12th place in the West and missed the playoffs!
Of course, it was precisely because of the lack of the playoffs that the Rockets had the next lottery pick, and historically, the Rockets used this lottery pick to pick Rudy Gay with the eighth pick!
In the past four months, under Zhang Chu's unremitting and crazy training, his own strength has also increased significantly. The overall strength has increased from the original 20 to 50, and the height has also increased from the original 188 cm to 198 cm due to the system upgrade reward, which is as tall as the greatest basketball player in history ---- Michael Jordan!
The overall strength is 50, and the strongest data are still 70 for bounce, 65 for speed, and 60 for strength...... Even in the NBA, if you play the guard position, a strength of 60 is considered a guard, but if you play inside, it will be very difficult, and the NBA is not lacking in muscle sticks.
After the comprehensive strength reaches 50, it is already an NCCA-level strength. Although it has not reached the level of the NBA, CUBA in China is already unbeatable, coupled with his mental ball control skills, it is absolutely against the sky. Otherwise, Huayang University, such an unknown team, actually became a dark horse at this year's CUBA, and finally won the championship, and Zhang Chu was also crowned the best player and the best defensive player, and became the rookie king of the year.
Although the NBA's passing mark is above 60, Zhang Chu believes that with his current strength, which is growing rapidly, in November, when the regular season officially starts, his strength will definitely rise to more than 60. What's more, he also has a skill against the sky---- mind control the ball. Therefore, he firmly believes that as long as that scout Simone gives him a chance, he can establish himself in the NBA.
However, since the Sino-US college basketball match, Simone went back, Zhang Chu has been waiting for four months, and there has been no news......
……
Houston, Rockets, inside the general manager's office.
Rockets general manager Carol Dawson, his assistant Morey, current Rockets coach Van Gundy, Rockets basketball president Dennis, and Rockets scout Simone are sitting around a small round table for a meeting.
Morey, the famous general manager of the Rockets, came to work for the Rockets in March 2006 as Dawson's assistant, just a month after he took office.
General Manager Dawson spoke first: "I called everyone here for this meeting today, and I think everyone already knows the purpose." ”
Carol Dawson has been the Rockets' general manager for nine seasons, after 16 years as a Rockets assistant coach, the NBA's "dead hearted" man for the most years with a club, a pair of wide-rim glasses, and gray hair, and he is not far from retirement.
With a cup of coffee in front of everyone as a drink, Dawson shook his head while shaking the coffee cup and said, "This season is over, it was another disappointing season, last season we made it to the playoffs, and we led the Mavericks 2-0, only to be overturned." And this year, I didn't even make the playoffs......"
As he spoke, everyone listened, yes, the results were not good, everyone was not in a very good mood, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
"In the morning, the boss talked to me, although, specific things, the boss has always been not very fond of meddling, but we have Yao Ming and Maddie, the two major league superstars, for three consecutive years, the record is so bad, the boss he also let go of cruel words, give me a deadline......" Dawson shook the coffee in his hand, looked up and took a sip, he knew very well in his heart, now the boss is very dissatisfied with himself, next season, if there is no improvement, first of all, the head coach must be changed, I'm afraid that the next thing to change is myself, the general manager. I've been working for Team Rocket for 25 years, and I'm about to retire, and if I get a dismissal or something, it will be embarrassing.
"Let's talk about any thoughts and suggestions you have next." Dawson looked at the people in the audience one by one, and the first thing he looked at was head coach Van Gundy.
Van Gundy scratched his bald head with his hand, frowning, and crying out in his heart, what could he do? The news media in other countries always criticize themselves, holding a good hand, but they always don't get results, the key is that good cards are always hurt......
"Well, the idea~ It must be to introduce excellent players and increase the depth of the bench! Our current main lineup, center Yao Ming, power forward Swift, small forward is relatively short of options, Maddy was originally a shooting guard, but often has to make cameo appearances as small forward, so our focus this summer is the small forward position......" Van Gundy expressed his opinion.
"Well, that's good." Dennis Dennis, president of the Basketball Division, echoed the words, "This year we looked at Rudy Gay of the University of Connecticut and Steve Novak of Marquette University, both of whom are small forwards and have relatively satisfactory abilities......
Historically, the Rockets were drafted in 2006, with Rudy Gay in the first round and Steve Novak in the second round.
……
As a few people spoke, Morey listened attentively and remembered that the famous general manager of the Rockets in later generations was good at speaking with data analysis. At this time, he had just come to the rocket, and it was not his turn to be the master.
"Well, Morey, tell me what you think!" Dawson finally named Morey.
Morey was not polite, and while looking at the various data recorded in his small notebook, he talked eloquently: "My opinion is similar to everyone's, it must be to make up for the gaps and increase the depth of the lineup." However, the two small forwards Rudy Gay and Steve Novak, I think, are not suitable for the current Rockets. ”
Morey spoke amazingly.
"Oh~ Really? Tell me about it. Dennis, the president of the basketball division, scoffed at Morey's views. Chasing Rudy Gay and others this summer is something that the Rockets have been brewing for a long time, starting last year, otherwise, Simone, the Rockets' scout, would not have followed Rudy Gay to China.
"Have you noticed what is missing from the current Rockets lineup?" Morey didn't care about the doubts of the others, and continued, staring around the crowd with his eyes blazing.
