Chapter 49: Stephen, Will You Work for Me?
,
With the rapid development of the NBA in recent years, many basketball leagues in the United States can no longer compete with the NBA, and the scene where ABA and NBA go hand in hand is no longer possible, which is a very cruel thing, because in addition to the NBA, other professional leagues cannot survive at all, many people think that American basketball is the NBA and NCAA, but they don't know that there are many small leagues such as ABA and CBA.
Zhuang Fei has now ended his vacation, and after more than half a year of arguing between the players' union and the team owners, a consensus has finally been reached, on January 7, the league officially ended the shutdown, and the new season will start in early February, which is good news for all basketball fans, the NBA has retained, but the All-Star Weekend has been canceled. At the same time, tired of countless rip-offs and disagreements with the Bulls owners about the idea of building a team, the basketball god Jordan retired again.
Once again, the Union has lost his number one sign and faith.
"Zhuang, is this place really the player you're looking for?" D'Antoni asked curiously, he looked around, this tattered arena that can accommodate up to more than 1,000 people is playing a CBA league, La Cross Bobcats against the Iowa Rapid Run, he really can't imagine that there will be players in these two teams Zhuang Fei's eye.
Since Zhuang Fei believes that there is, D'Antoni will naturally watch the game attentively, but it is a pity that there is no player on the field who can give him a bright feeling, very mediocre, very mediocre, if this is a player of this level Zhuang Fei really does not need to come to watch a CBA league.
Zhuang Fei brought D'Antoni to La Crosse not to watch a low-level CBA game, he came to find a player, Stephen Jackson, Captain Jack. La Crosse is not big, although the Bobcat is not a little famous in the United States, but it still has a lot of supporters here, and Zhuang Fei easily found this place.
At the beginning of the new season, Zhuang Fei immediately began to use the dynasty system to find zìyóu players, although many powerful zìyóu players such as McDyce, Scott Pippen and a large number of excellent players Zhuang Fei could not pay his salary at all, but to his surprise, he found a very familiar name in the list of zìyóu players, Stephen Jackson of the La Crossos Bobcats. Capable of reaching 79, Captain Jackson with potential A-.
According to Zhuang Fei's special understanding, Stephen Jackson is a top student who graduated from Oak Hill High School, a famous American basketball school, and Kobe Bryant is a class of them, and he has participated in the All-Star Game of McDonald's for high school students with Kobe Bryant and O'Neal Jr., and his performance is extremely sè, why did he fall to the CBA? Because he was rejected by the NCAA in 1996 because of his poor academic performance, he could only go to those junior colleges to study, so he missed the NCAA game, Zhuang Fei remembered that there was a Bucks player named Jennings in later generations who also went to Italy because he failed the exam and could not enter the NCAA in a fit of anger, as if Wade was also delayed for a year because of his unqualified grades in cultural classes, and now Jackson is like this, after a year of delay, he was directly cut after being selected by the Suns in the second round of the NBA draft in 1997. Tai ** Ben had no intention of wasting his salary for him. And because of his xìng problem, no one cares about it at all, so he can only mix in the lower leagues of the United States. He's been with Lynx for 1 and a half years now.
However, what disappointed Zhuang Fei was that this Captain Jackson couldn't play the main force in the CBA, if it weren't for Zhuang Fei's dynasty system, he didn't think that a CBA substitute would be eligible to enter the NBA. Zhuang Fei easily found Captain Jack on the bench of the La Crosse Bobcats, who was a little far away from his teammates, and was obviously isolated by his teammates.
A CBA league has no influence in the mainstream basketball world in the United States at all, but Zhuang Fei's popularity is very high among basketball fans in the United States, and soon sharp-eyed fans recognized Zhuang Fei.
The news of Zhuang Fei's arrival in the CBA field spread quickly, and the players of the two teams on the field were also greatly affected.
The fool also knows that Zhuang Fei is here to inspect the team members, this is their best chance to perform, if they are really favored by Zhuang Fei, is Feihuang Tengda still far away?
Linked to the news of the NBA restart on January 7, these people quickly reached a consensus, and the atmosphere on the court changed, and the originally stuffy game became intense.
Zhuang Fei naturally felt these changes, but he didn't expect that now he himself has become the one who decides the fate of others, and he wants to be bullied by the head coach of a youth team in the Zhejiang team. This also made Zhuang Fei sigh.
At the end of the game, although the game was intense, Zhuang Fei was not interested in it at all, he walked straight down the stands and walked to the bench of the La Crossos Bobcats.
When the players of the La Cross Bobcats saw Zhuang Fei approaching, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and the opportunity came. Of course, except for one person, Captain Jack was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhuang Fei coming, and then lowered his head gloomily, sitting on the bench and covering his head, afraid of being discovered by Zhuang Fei. He is also a fan of Wake Forest, and he is a fan of Carter and Zhuang Fei. He had waited for the call of Zhuang Fei and Wake Forest when he graduated from high school, but he also knew that Wake Forest, which had Carter, Szebiak, James Posey and Ragabel, would not be able to send him an invitation, but even so he waited, and finally was disappointed, he finally accepted the invitation of another giant University of Arizona, but to everyone's disappointment, his professional grades were not qualified, and he couldn't enter the University of Arizona at all, and finally this genius with Kobe Bryant and Little Ao finally fell, Now mixed in the CBA. Stephen Jackson didn't want Zhuang Fei to see his current down-and-out appearance, maybe Zhuang Fei didn't know him at all, but even so, the strong self-esteem of this twenty-year-old made him choose to avoid it.
There have been players in the CBA who have been discovered and poached by NBA scouts, but Xiang Zhuang Fei did not come in person.
"Hello Mr. Zhuang, I'm Martin, the head coach of the La Crossos Bobcats," a middle-aged black man stretched out his hands enthusiastically.
"Hello" Zhuang Fei shook hands with him, his eyes fell to Captain Jack who was covering his head, Zhuang Fei was a little amused when he saw Captain Jack like this.
"Mr. Zhuang, which player of our team did you fall in love with, actually came in person" Martin himself wondered, he knew too much about the level of these players in his team, no one could meet the standards of the NBA, etc., thinking of this, Martin sighed in his heart, could it be him, he also subconsciously looked at Stephen Jackson, this kid is the strongest player on the team, but this kid looks down on his teammates at all, too withdrawn, so he has been a substitute for the team for more than a year, but it is undeniable, This kid's strength is indeed super strong, could it be that Zhuang Fei is here to find him?
Soon Martin's idea was confirmed, and under the surprise, jealousy and envy of all the players of the La Crosse Bobcats, Zhuang Fei walked towards Stephen Jackson, who had been covering his head.
These people were surprised, envious, and jealous, but they had to admit that Stephen Jackson did have this ability.
Stephen Jackson heard the approaching footsteps, and then the footsteps stopped, he felt someone standing in front of him, Stephen Jackson slowly raised his head, only to see a Chinese in a straight suit standing in front of him and smiling gently at him.
Stephen Jackson will never forget the moment when a boy who had almost given up on himself was looked at with a gentle and encouraging look, and then the man held out his hand to him and said something that he would never forget.
"Stephen, would you like to play for me?"
