Chapter 482: Coach D without a threat
With such a group of veterans to play in the summer league, and then let the veterans play one by one, and then try their best to let the veterans take turns to exert their power, it was not obvious before, but now, it is too obvious.
It's about building momentum for the Bobcats in next season's regular season.
I'm building momentum for Jordan's return!
The whole world knows that Coach D has a very good physical therapy technique, which can give a veteran a short rejuvenation, stimulate the potential of the body, and play a game for 20 minutes and rest for at least three days.
Because of the demonstrations of veterans such as Olajuwon, Reggie Miller, Barkley, etc., this is no secret.
Even Nash has become the second person to learn this magical physical therapy technique after Coach D.
Nash's ravages of Kidd and Hill before the game were so shocking to see Kidd and Hill kill all sides after the game.
I didn't expect that in addition to Coach D, Nash now has such an ability.
It's really shocking, it's just shocking, but it doesn't scare the NBA teams who have been staring at the Bobcats, on the contrary, they are more relaxed.
Before, they didn't know what Coach D was doing at Bobcats.
Now, they know, what can Coach D do with a team like the Bobcats?
Bobcats are not Lakers, Charlotte is not Los Angeles, such a team, no matter how strong Coach D is, what can it do?
The only thing Coach D could do at Bobcats was to shock all the NBA crowd like this game.
Every game shocked the audience, made the audience look forward to it, made the audience wait for the Bobcats game, and let Charlotte's NCAA fans gradually develop the habit of supporting the Bobcats and supporting the NBA.
In the Summer League game between the Bobcats and the Clippers, Grant Hill even wore a Bobcats and Duke jersey on the court!
In the game, Grant Hill faced Russell's defense, took one step to pass Russell with the ball, and then hit the basket like lightning, and completed the dunk with Griffin's small short hand, I don't know how many old Duke fans were excited and crazy.
This Nima's is really full of youth!
Duke University has produced many NBA superstars, but Grant Hill is definitely the most special one at Duke University.
After all, the NCAA rookie player is the only Duke player who won the All-Star ticket in his first year in the NBA.
After Jordan, the North Carolina Tiger returned, he once again won the first place in the All-Star vote, beating Jordan's Duke University player, and the only player at Duke University was Hill.
The competition between the NCAA Duke and North Carolina was almost crazy back then.
Duke's grades couldn't be better.
North Carolina only needs to reply that we have Jordan, and Duke can only grit his teeth and end up incompetent and furious.
Grant Hill was definitely the brightest man Duke fans have ever given to them during their darkest time.
It can be said that the feelings of North Carolina fans for Jordan may not be so deep, because Jordan's achievements in the NCAA are actually not so strong, and the feelings of North Carolina fans towards Jordan may be more exploitative, using Jordan to pressure Duke, so as to make themselves happy.
And the fans of Duke University, the feelings for Hill, that is absolutely true.
Many people say that Cleveland fans voted for James as an All-Star on a bicycle.
Without the support of Duke fans, Grant Hill, a rookie, would use his head to press O'Neal and then Jordan?
Grant Hill would not have been able to beat Jordan if he had only relied on NBA fans.
But as long as the University of North Carolina fans' feelings for Jordan are as deep as Duke University's feelings for Hill, it will not make Jordan lose to Hill in embarrassment.
Seeing Jordan by Hill, the following year, North Carolina fans were furious, so they finally made a move, so much so that the votes for the 1997 All-Star Game made incredible history.
In 94, in the All-Star Game, the vote king Barkley only had 790,000 votes.
In the 95th year, in the All-Star Game, the votes of Hill voted directly soared to more than 1.28 million.
In '96, Hill's vote was more than 1.35 million, beating Jordan by more than 1.34 million.
In '97, when Jordan regained the vote king, Jordan's votes reached 2.45 million, and Hill's was 1.86 million.
After the University of North Carolina fans reacted, Hill was naturally no longer Jordan's opponent, after all, the size of North Carolina and Duke fans was about the same.
And Jordan's popularity and foundation in the NBA, where Hill can compare.
Therefore, the battle between Hill and Jordan is actually the battle between Duke and North Carolina, which ended in 1997 The battle for the All-Star vote king, the gap is too big, and the big gap that makes Duke University desperate, unless Hill really wins the MVP, there is no need to do this kind of thing about Jordan in the All-Star voting in the future.
After that, the votes for the 1998 All-Star Game vote fell off a cliff, with Jordan only 1.02 million votes left, and Hill, who was second, only 830,000.
It can't be said to be a cliff-like decline, before Yao Ming didn't enter the NBA, it just returned to the normal level of the NBA.
Because before Jordan retired for the first time, it was the normal level of 1 million.
In 1997, it exceeded 2.45 million, which can only be said to be an accident in which the NBA sucked NCAA fans.
The battle between the two most popular giants in the NCAA at that time, North Carduk, didn't just make the vote of the vote king explode directly.
The next time the NBA can draw NCAA fans again, it will be until Vince Carter enters the league.
Of course, Carter is not the same as Hill, Carter is a fan of all people, not only the NCAA, but also a fan of freestyle basketball, although he doesn't smoke so much, but he can smoke some everywhere, the NCAA can smoke some, and other leagues can also smoke some, as long as you are a basketball fan, no matter what kind of basketball you like, it's hard not to like the demigods at that time.
After that, it must be the arrival of Yao Ming, which opened another era of NBA All-Star voting.
However, there is no doubt that the era that really drove NCAA fans crazy for the NBA was the competition for Hill and Jordan's All-Star vote that year, which forced Jordan out of the 2.45 million vote king.
That time, Duke and North Carolina fans really made a name for themselves in the NBA.
It shows the action and influence of North Carolina and Duke fans.
Scared NBA commissioner David Stern stupid.
After all, after so many years in the NBA, the best time before was actually the early 1 million before Jordan retired, and there were only hundreds of thousands left after Jordan retired.
And the NCAA just two fans can double the ticket king from more than 1 million to more than 2 million, what a terrifying 'powder'!
It is precisely because of this All-Star vote battle that David Stern has his eyes on North Carolina and Duke.
You know, the NCAA is not just about North Carolina and Duke.
But if you want to talk about the madness of the fans, these two are still strong.
Of course, it is precisely because the fighting power shown by these two fans is so terrifying that David Stern has almost no concealment of the NCAA fan market.
He just wants the NCAA, he just wants the NBA to get to the NCAA!
If Adam Shaw expands the NBA's income and finances, it is to open up spinach and expand the NBA's gray income.
So David Stern really wants to expand the influence of the NBA by expanding the NBA's finances.
Painstakingly, whispering four to open up the Chinese market and the international market.
Secretly Chen Cang, a conspiracy to smuggle into the NCAA market.
In order to expand the influence of the NBA, David Stern really used everything he could.
In the end, half the success and half the failure.
The development of the international market is naturally successful.
But the development of the NCAA market was a big failure, and it was a humiliating defeat, and in the end, even Jordan, a North Carolina native, was slapped in the face directly, and Nima's was so scared by the NCAA that he wanted to change his name.
Finally, David Stern looked back and saw that the closest the NBA was to the hearts of NCAA fans was when he got Grant Hill.
Every time he thinks about this, David Stern feels that he is really too unlucky.
If Hill doesn't have injuries, if Hill can really show signs of his potential, if Hill can have Jordan's achievements in the NBA, no, even if it's only James's achievements, Hill can help the NBA suck a wave in the NCAA and suck the NCAA to the pain.
When Jordan entered the league, Magic entered the league, and Big Bird entered the league, none of them were able to support them as crazy as their NCAA parent team.
In the history of the NBA, no NCAA star who has come in as a rookie has ever had the support that Hill did.
However, Hill's talent is indeed inferior to Jordan.
If you give Hill Jordan's talent and achievements, really, David Stern can wake up laughing in his dreams.
After all, he didn't ignore Hill back then, he really saw Hill's value, he was really not blind, he really wanted to train Hill as Jordan's successor, and he didn't do anything wrong in Hill's matter.
It's just that luck wasn't good enough.
Therefore, after the game between the Bobcats and the Clippers, not only the Bobcats and Clippers game Hill's various wonderful goal videos and GIFs swiped the Internet, which was not only a carnival for fans, but also the official NBA and NCAA officials were shaken.
The NBA's official retweeted and praised Hill's performance on social networks for the first time, with a picture of Hill and Coach D hugging, but, from the side, this is what looks like a Duke jersey style.
At the same time, Duke University also reposted Hill's performance in this game for the first time, but the picture is a picture of Hill riding Griffin, with the caption: Welcome back, our legend!
Even Duke University has done this, and the NCAA officials can't even move if they don't want to.
Therefore, in the end, I simply forwarded the official tweet of Duke University, but I just forwarded it, not even a text, not even a like.
The NCAA's official push has made many American basketball experts and commentators laugh like crazy.
"You NBA players, coaches, are all working hard for next season's NBA championship, you guys, your pattern is far from Coach D, Coach D is now working hard for the greatest cause in the NBA, and his achievements next season will surpass one, two, three, or even four, five, six, seven championships!"
"Hahahaha, give Coach D a few more NBA spots, I bet Coach D even dares to bring the Detroit Five Tigers to the Bobcats, hahahaha......"
These American basketball experts, when they finished commenting on these words, were all very shy@NCAA officials.
This is really making the NCAA official very uncomfortable.
Seriously, they're a really uncomfortable one right now!
They are really afraid that Coach D will get the Detroit Five Tigers back!
Nima's!
Really get the Detroit Five Tigers back, and the NCAA estimates that there will be no peaceful days.
You know, NCAA fans are a monolith in the eyes of David Stern, and in the eyes of many people, they are monolithic, but in fact, in the eyes of the real NCAA executives, the current NCAA fans are not so pure.
The current NCAA fans are also very dissatisfied with the corruption of the NCAA leadership, the greed of the NCAA league, and the pursuit of profits.
Well, there are also NCAA players who are dissatisfied, why do you leagues, schools, coaches, eat and drink spicy, and our players want to be cattle and horses?
Therefore, there are fewer and fewer outstanding NCAA players who have played for four years, and most of them, whenever they have the opportunity, want to leave after playing for a year.
Can the fans be satisfied with the players doing this? Of course I'm not satisfied, I just fell in love with you, and you're going to get out, how do I fall in love with you?
Your players have no sense of pride and no sense of sacrificing their own interests for the team, how can we support you?
Therefore, in the current NCAA fan circle, there are also a bunch of nostalgia for the past.
If you look at Duncan, he was the top pick in 1995, and he waited until 1997 to get his college diploma before going to the NBA.
You look at Michael Jordan, he only played in college for three years, and he was spurned by the fans of the University of North Carolina, if it weren't for the Duke fans who took Hill to pressure Jordan to disgust North Carolina, North Carolina fans would not have supported Jordan if they were killed.
Why do Duke fans love Hill so much?
Because, Hill could have gone to the NBA early to make a lot of money, but for Duke, he played in the NCAA for four years.
Hill led the team to three Finals in four years in the NCAA, winning two championships.
In those days, NCAA stars graduated early to participate in the draft, and they were to be spurned and abused by fans.
Even Jordan was no exception.
What now?
If you are an NCAA fan, you will not like such stars, you may still love your team, but you certainly don't love these stars, so, even now, the most popular stars in the NCAA are actually veterans like the Detroit Five Tigers, Grant Hill and so on.
The Bobcats' performance in Summer League began to send ripples through the NCAA fan circle.
But in NBA circles, especially in professional circles, it is slowly forgotten.
Bobcats, whose goal next season is not to win a championship, Coach D has found a reason to come to Bobcats, which is to match David Stern's strategy of entering the NCAA.
Many people are sighing at this time.
"Next season, I'm not worried!"
So, a lot of NBA experts, professionals, are staring at teams like the Heat, staring at the Celtics, staring at the Cavaliers, staring at the Warriors, staring at teams like the Lakers and the Thunder.
Lynx?
Until the end of the summer, the free market.
The Bobcats remain at No. 25 in the NBA power rankings.
After all, it is really a fool's dream to expect Jordan, Hill, Kidd, and O'Neal to play one game in three days and only play 20 minutes a game to win the championship and enter the playoffs.
However, no matter how cold the professional circle is.
The fan circle, whether it is the NBA or the NCAA fan circle, is really hot!
"Summer is finally over!"
"Jordan, Hill, O'Neal, Rose...... They're finally going to merge!!! ”
