Chapter 731： Tim Duncan

Every legendary superstar has his own legendary experience, and each of them is a special one.

But even in such a group, Duncan is a special one.

First of all, unlike more than 99% of the NBA players, Duncan is not a big muscle and no brain, and it's not that he has no other specialties besides playing basketball. He is a scholar.

When other players were worried about their credits because of their scumbag attributes, and when they were overjoyed that they had successfully left school and entered the NBA, Duncan did not give up his studies, but instead obtained a master's degree through self-study and became Vic Master of Psychology from Forest University.

Furthermore, Duncan ended his career with one person and one city. He has been playing for the Spurs since he entered the NBA. Even in the face of the era of cliques, he still sticks to it. This kind of thing is not rare in the commercial atmosphere of the United States. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a legend. .

Besides, this guy is also the maker of famous scenes, and also a meme king.

Except for Duncan, there is no second player who let multiple NBA teams rot him for three consecutive years when he was a college student. In order to compete for the No. 1 pick, the thorny Popovich doesn't even want to face --- what? The team actually won a game. Why do you want to win? Are you out of your mind? I said you want to be at the bottom. I want the team record to be at the bottom of the league. Do you understand?

The league's famous coach, Cardinal Auerbach, was so angry that he retired on the spot because of the dog's thorn.

In the year that Duncan entered the draft, what if he got the third overall pick? Duncan was the second overall pick, you can only stare at the third overall pick.

However, this is not famous, Duncan is most familiar to fans - head-to-head killing.

Look at Ginobili, the demon knife, his hair was bald by his teammate Duncan, which made the league players who saw Ginobili's changes stay away from Duncan's head-touching.

Duncan once touched Cannon's head, and Cannon almost exploded on the spot.

Climb away, don't beat me!

Although Gunro was bald in the end, I don't know if he can beat the Milwaukee Stepping Team to win the coveted championship.

Outside of the famous scene, Duncan's ability to create stalks is not much weaker than his strength on the basketball court.

That sentence to James: "The future is yours."

It's even more popular.

When James was beaten by the Spurs in the finals a few years later and missed the championship again, the 30-year-old man was completely stunned.

Said that the future is mine?

It's been so many years, why hasn't my future arrived yet, you liar!

When Lao Zhan, who entered the NBA in 2003, got his first championship ring in one or two years, I wonder if he shouted: "It's been ten years, do you know how I've lived in these ten years? For the sake of The championship, I don't even have the shame, and I started the era of super-giant hugs under the scolding of countless people. Fortunately, I finally got what I wanted."

Compared with those superstars who have not yet won the championship ring after being in a group, Lao Zhan has been lucky enough.

Xu Ang made an appointment with Duncan two days ago. For this lunch, he not only booked the best restaurant, but also used his private jet to pick up the Duncan family.

Such a performance can be said to be full of sincerity.

However, this does not affect the results of this year's draft.

"Sir, I appreciate your hospitality, but you know, I can't make any promises to you. I'm a senior this year, I've finished my college studies, I've finished this year's NCAA, and I've announced the draft, and now I don't know which team I will go to."

"According to NBA rules, the Spurs who win the No. 1 pick will have the highest priority for me. Of course, if you can facilitate my transfer after the draft, I would also be very happy to play in a big city like Los Angeles. "

"But I have to make it clear that I will not make small moves in private because of anyone's persuasion to force the team to trade me. This is the principle of my life, and there is no room for negotiation on principles."

Duncan is a real person, or perhaps he is a smart person. As soon as he opens his mouth, he puts his words to the fore and makes his attitude clear, so as to save some words, after Xu Ang said it, everyone would be difficult to get along with.

Xu Ang waved his hand, indicating that Duncan didn't need to do this: "Don't be nervous, Tim. I didn't plan to bypass the league this time to make small moves, although I'm very optimistic about you, and I think you can become a superstar once you enter the league, but as you do Said, I also have principles. I want to get what I want in the synagogue, rather than relying on unprofessional means."

"I came to you today, mainly to get to know you. You may not be aware of the fact that you are not in the league, the NBA is a business league, everything here is business, and the atmosphere of your college team is completely different. We may have opportunities for cooperation in the future. If one day you want to experience a new playing atmosphere and better personal development, I hope you will give priority to our Clippers.”

Xu Ang remembers that Duncan also had a temper with the Spurs and had a crisis of leaving the team, but it was successfully resolved by Popovich.

The big rules of the NBA cannot be changed by Xu Ang, but this does not mean that Xu Ang does not have the opportunity to let Duncan change his family. Today, he first planted a seed in Duncan's heart. Maybe it will sprout when the time comes, and if he is lucky, it will continue to grow. A towering tree.

Just think about how many championship rings Dayao can get with a veteran and a Deng Daidai The picture makes people yearn for it.

However, such a team is estimated to have to pay a lot of luxury tax.

The money was spent on the other bosses in the league, but as long as Xu Ang thought it was worth it, he wouldn't care.

How much can the Union pay for the luxury tax? Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and so much money is made from the old rice. It is not impossible to pluck a hair back to the old rice.

In the future, after the NBA starts the era of superstar groups, so many teams can afford superstars who hold groups together. Is Xu Ang inferior to these people?

"Tim, let me introduce you." Xu Ang pulled Dayao, who was drenched in food, to his side, "Dayao, my Chinese compatriot, you can tell by his height that he will be a great center in the future. , I'm looking forward to seeing you as teammates."

Tall enough, but too thin to withstand the impact of those muscular guys in the league?

Duncan was skeptical.

It's not that he looks down on Dayao, but at this time Dayao is also outstanding in height, and his strength is really not enough. The body is not strong enough, the taller he is, the thinner he looks.

"I am very optimistic about Dayao's talent. Even if it will take a long time to cultivate him, it may take several years, but I firmly believe that he will be the future superstar of the league."

Xu Ang said it very seriously.

There is no doubt about Dayao's achievements, but if he doesn't want to overdraw his career, he has to do it step by step, and his playing time has to be reasonably arranged to allow his body to adapt slowly. This process will be very long, and there is no rush. However, the behavior of the coaches on Lao Mi's side towards non-national players is not reassuring, and Xu Ang can only watch it himself.
