Chapter 210： Red Chicago, General Manager's Ambition

"The genius of basketball madness is in Zuoxin ( to find the latest chapter!

"With his figure, people think he can't do many things, but he proves people wrong with his actions. He is a great player, and no one can deny it." After the game, Iverson posted on social networks. .

If there are old fans who have come from the old era, they will know that Iverson gave Zuo Li what Michael Jordan said about him back then.

At the beginning, Jordan originally meant to describe that Iverson would be ignored because of his short stature, but at this time it was used on Zuo Li's body...

Not to mention, it is also very suitable.

Zuo Li is often considered unsuitable for holding the ball because of his height. In this era, there is no big man who plays like Zuo Li, and some conservatives even think that it is a waste of talent.

Pat Riley once said when evaluating Zuo Li: "Although his ability to hold the ball on the outside is surprisingly strong, with his body, playing like this is a bit of a waste of talent. There are many guards in the league who can do things on the outside. , but there are fewer and fewer people like him inside, and I'm glad his footsteps are just as good."

It can be seen that although Riley admires Zuo Li, he still feels that Zuo Li should go to the inside with peace of mind. In this era, everyone’s brains haven’t turned around yet. They haven’t realized that a person who can hold the ball and attack by himself can post up inside. What a horrible center.

But don't worry, the facts will prove everything.

Iverson can be regarded as an indirect name for Zuo Li.

Before the league released the wind and said that it intended to invite Zuo Li to participate in the skill competition, some people criticized it, thinking that the league was purely looking for a gimmick. No matter how good the dribble is, it can't be compared with those league super guards.

And after this game, these voices have been silent, even Iverson can shake it away, is this not enough to qualify for the skill competition?

Are you not satisfied?

If you don't agree, go shake Iverson away!

Otherwise, what do you object to, the keyboard?

So the league also took advantage of the situation and said that Zuo Li will participate in this season's All-Star Weekend Skill Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.

The announcement instantly made next February's All-Star campaign even hotter.

Zuo Li didn't think so much about it. It was still early for the All-Star team, and the passing problem had not yet been solved. He also needed to continue to improve his shooting. Since he participated, he was going to win the championship. He didn't want to play soy sauce.

Especially when he remembers that the skill king this season is Derrick Rose, so he can't lose!

Oh, thinking of Rose, the second-ranked player in the new division is also doing well (this transition is not rigid at all!), with personal data of 17.1 points, 6.2 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.5 steals. A thriving scene.

In 1998, Jordan chose to retire after the second three-peat, and the Bull Dynasty officially retired from the stage of history. Many people focused on the glory of the Bulls' "last dance", but they rarely saw "the dance stops and the music stops." "The team was devastated after that.

Like the autumn wind sweeping leaves, Krause disbanded the dynasty in three days. Rodman, Pippen, Kerr and other veteran veterans left the team one after another, leaving only the aging Harper and Kukoc.

Oh, he also signed free agent Brent Barry with 7 years and 27 million, so that people who are used to watching Jordan's dunk can also feel the feeling of white flying.

Just for the Bulls, a Barry is far from enough to save a devastated team.

Their best result in the past decade was the Eastern Conference semifinals. They failed to make the playoffs in seven years and were eliminated in the first round in two years, which is a stark contrast to the scenery of the 1990s.

And the city of Chicago is inevitably caught in the mood of missing Jordan. Of course, Jordan's significance to Chicago is indeed worthy of this nostalgia. After all, before Jordan, this city was a real version of Gotham City. All' is not vain.

And since Jordan became famous, whether in the United States or all over the world, the first topic that everyone brings up in Chicago is no longer chaos and crime, but basketball and Jordan.

It is also this kind of contribution that makes it difficult for Chicago to accommodate a second name, even if Ben Gordon plays hard, it is useless.

But the arrival of Derrick Rose seems to have changed that.

So far this season, more and more local Chicago fans have regarded Rose as the savior of the Bulls. Although the team’s nominal eldest brother is still Ben Gordon, the most talked about is the new team second.

Although they missed Zuoli because of Ross, it seems that they can accept it with Ross?

"I'm actually a little bit unacceptable!"

For Bulls general manager John Paxson, he really has some regrets right now.

Knowing that Zuo Li could be like this, even if he liked Ross again, he would not facilitate that transaction.

Before the trade with the Knicks, the Bulls were actually divided into two factions. One part felt that they should resolutely bring Zuo Li to Chicago. I really like it.

The other faction is headed by John himself. They think that Ross is plug-and-play, has great potential, and is a Chicago native. There is really no reason not to choose, and Zuo Li, as a big man, likes to play outside. John thinks this is deviant, and they There is already Noah.

In the end, the real-power faction still has more right to speak, so there was that big deal.

But now, it turns out that if Jordan can be selected, Krause's eyes are indeed much stronger than John's. Rose is not bad in his rookie season, but he is still training. Zuo Li's rookie season has already turned around with the Knicks. .

At present, Zuoli is more than one level stronger than Ross, with back-to-back triple-doubles and 50+ games in many games. Ross does not have this strength for the time being.

Now there is a voice within the Bulls. Many people think that the transaction is wrong. John should take the main responsibility. His immediate boss and the team owner also have this meaning. Recently, it seems that he has a nose instead of a nose.

So this first encounter with the Knicks is very important to John. If Rose can lead the team to win, it will not prove that his work is correct, then there is no problem, and his influence can also be Continue to penetrate.

Perfect!

So this time John made a special trip to visit the training hall the day before the game, and Vinnie Denagro was leading the players to prepare for the game.

"The Knicks are going to be played tomorrow." John patted Vinnie Denagro on the shoulder: "How about it, are you sure."

"There is still a certain degree of certainty. We are in good shape this season." Vinnie Denagro is in high spirits, and it is his happiest thing to not need to be messed up.

And the people under him are finally no longer general, especially Rose, who is the best choice for the core of the team in his heart.

"That's good, tomorrow I hope you can give Derrick more playing time and the ball." John explained his purpose.

"Understood, I will." Vinnie De Nagro is not a fool, he understood as soon as the general manager said it. This is obviously to give Rose more room to play.
