Chapter 5: Removing Greatness
In an NBA preseason game last night, Michael Jordan's Washington Wizards defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 112-92, Jordan scored a game-high 31 points, Hamilton scored 21 points, and new champion Kwame Brown only scored 4 points, but had 17 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 6 assists. We caught up with Michael Jordan and Wizards head coach Doug Collins after the game. β
"Michael, congratulations on your victory, can you share your thoughts on this game?" A beautiful reporter put the microphone in front of Jordan's mouth.
"It was a tough game, the Grizzlies played hard, but today luck was on our side and we won the game. That's it! "Old oilman Jordan doesn't leak.
"Can you talk about the top pick, Kwame Brown? He was very dominant on the defensive end today, but seemed a little out of his way on the offensive end. The reporter continued to ask.
"There's no doubt that Kwame Brown is the future of the Wizards, and today Brown was very dominant on the defensive end, and that's what we need, and I'm sure he's going to get better and better in the future, and don't forget that he's only 19 years old and he's got a lot of time to improve." Jordan is worthy of being an old oilman, just talking about the good side, and definitely not talking about what reporters want to get.
"Mr. Collins, congratulations on your victory, this game Kwame Brown is not very good offensively, and this will affect the playing time in the new season?" These reporters have nothing to do with the draw.
"Brown, today on the defensive end is very dominant, although he doesn't score much, but he has 6 assists and he grabbed 8 rebounds, on the offensive end he is very good, offense is not just about scoring, rebounds and assists are also very important, Brown did a very good job, and that's exactly what we need." Collins is also battle-hardened and answers with ease.
"Mr. Collins, Kwame Brown's lack of offense will limit his number of shots in the future, as he did today." The reporter asked.
"You have to know that Brown's offensive efficiency today is 1oo%, he only scored two goals, but he also only attacked twice, he is 1oo% sir, today it's just that his offense is not very strong, and you will see even better Kwame Brown in the future" Collins is very happy with my cousin.
"Mr. Collins, before the draft, many pundits thought that Kwame Brown would be a great center like Chamberlain and O'Neal, but at the moment, Kwame Brown looks more like Rodman."
"Oh, these guys you are talking about seem to be great basketball players, even Rodman also has 5 championship rings, if Kwame Brown can lead the Wizards to 5 championship rings, the Wizards don't mind having his No. 1O jersey retired at the MIC Center, I'm sure all the Washington Wizards fans want Rodman to bring them 5 championship rings." Collins said solemnly.
When Collins said this, he probably didn't believe that Kwame Brown would give the Wizards five championship rings, but Kwame Brown ended up wearing more than five rings on his finger.
Elvin Hayes, a former Wizards legend, commented on Washington Sports:
"Rodman? I don't like him, but I like his five rings, and if Kwame Brown can bring five championship rings to the Wizards, he's ten times crazier than Rodman, and I'll love him. Of course, Kwame Brown is no worse than Rodman in terms of personal strength, and his rebounding meaning is very good, especially when he can grab eight frontcourt rebounds......"
In an interview with reporters, Rodman said: "Kwame Brown? Rodman second? Boy, remember, I'm unique, don't bother me if it's okay, by the way, today I asked a few buddies to go to the xxx nightclub together at night to be happy, don't bother us......"
It doesn't matter if I'm Rodman, O'Neill, Chamberlain or not, the important thing is that I can't be a parallel import. I won't be complacent, the last life of Kwame Brown was top-notch defensively, neither the big shark O'Neal nor the stone Buddha Duncan was courted by Kwame Brown. As for the little giant Yao Ming, Yao Ming, who didn't even have to go around before going around, couldn't find the north, although Kwame Brown has always been called a "parallel import".
Points, points, points, the lifeblood of the player. Even if you are as strong as Bill Russell, because there is no scoring guarantee, even if you get 11 championship rings, you can only enter the second team when the All-NBA is selected. And I seem like I'm a few blocks away from Bill Russell, both in terms of rebounding and scoring. Of course, before my scoring ability was released, the rebound was my only lifeline, and as for the assist, it was just a helpless move to throw the goal to Jordan and Hamilton after grabbing the rebound.

Maybe those of my teammates are resting, after yesterday's game, Collins announced that he would be off this morning, and he would meet at 2:oo in the afternoon. In order to get rid of the title of parallel trade as soon as possible, I got up early and started my training program. 5oo shots, no, 5oo basketballs. This is the task I set for myself. Mr. Pete Johnson and Mr. Gary Fox were with me.
"Mr. Johnson, what do you think of my watch yesterday, and will I be the one who will become a parallel importer?" I took Fox's towel and lay down on the mat to receive Fox's massage. I want to know what other people think of me, especially in a game where I can swing well.
"Parallel import? Haha," Peter Johnson burst out laughing, "you're not kidding, even though it's a preseason, not everyone can get 17 rebounds and 4 blocks in the preseason." How can someone say that you are a parallel import? Mr. Johnson asked.
"No, no, it's just that I think of Olovocandi." I quickly covered up.
"Listen," Johnson said suddenly, sternly, "Brown, do you know what your bench press is?" β
"It seems like a bench press of 425 pounds 2o times, and 45o pounds can push 1o," I said with some confusion.
"What's your take-off height?" You know? Johnson asked again.
"The highest is 3.91." I replied.
"What's your 100 meters? You know? Johnson continued
"It's like 12 seconds 2o." I replied.
"Listen to me, Brown, a lot of my friends have been personal trainers for a lot of centers, I know how they are, and now the big shark O'Neal, who is unstoppable in the NBA, is only 45o pounds, and his degree is not fast, and the bounce is not as fast as yours. I don't think you're at least worse than O'Neal. β
I was amazed that my personal trainer thought I could match Shaquille O'Neal:
"No, I'm sorry, I think I disappointed you, Shaquille O'Neill is unique, and I don't think I'll be able to reach his level in this life." I haven't fought against O'Neal, but I know exactly what O'Neal is capable of.
"No, Brown, you're better than him because you know how to work hard, you know how to improve yourself, and everybody in the world knows O'Neal's weakness of inaccurate free throws, but O'Neal has never tried to change it." Gary Fox said.
"Maybe, alas!" No one can understand the strength of Kwame Brown, only I know what the future holds for Kwame Brown, and maybe I will live up to the expectations of these people, I muttered, "It's good to dream big." The dream of a great center. β
"Dreams? What dreams? Pete Johnson was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry, Pete, I may have to live up to your expectations, for me, a great center like O'Neal is just a distant dream for me, even if it can be compared to Dennis Rodman, it is still exalting me, my biggest hope is that in a few years I will not be called a superior parallel import. I'm sorry, Pete, I'm sorry, Gary. I don't have as much potential as you think. β
"No, Brown, you can't ...... that," Peter Johnson shouted in horror and hysterics.
"I'm sorry, Pete, Gary, for disappointing you, let's stop here today, I want to be alone, alone." I stood up and walked into the room, without looking back.
"Brown, you're the best, you're going to be the greatest centerγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Gary Fox shouted from behind him.
Great center, remove the word greatness is me.
A few years later, Pete Johnson wrote in his book How Great Centers Are Made:
When Kwame Brown told Gary Fox and me that his dream was just not to be a parallel like Olovo Candi, Fox and I were first surprised, followed by anger, a center with the physique that even Chamberlain, the emperor of basketball, would have envied, but whose dream was only to hope that others would not laugh at him. God must be mistaken, God must be crazy. I can't understand that a 19-year-old NBA draft pick, but he doesn't have any pursuits in his heart, he has almost no dreams, he doesn't even think he can reach the achievements of the big worm Rodman, oh my God, I even feel like I'm having auditory hallucinations.
Gary and I sat there for a long time, looking at each other, we didn't know what to do, we felt like Kwame Brown was like a child who was about to fall into the abyss, we had to help him, we couldn't let his talent be ruthlessly wasted by him, if he really didn't achieve anything in the future, I believe it was not because he didn't work hard, but because he didn't have the heart to be a king.
