Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 482 Coach D, no threat
Taking such a group of veterans to play in the summer league, and then letting the veterans play one by one, and then going to great lengths to let the veterans take turns to show their strength, it was not obvious before, but now, it is too obvious.

This is to build momentum for the Bobcats' regular season games next season.

We are building momentum for Jordan's return!
The whole world knows that Coach D has excellent physical therapy skills, which can rejuvenate veterans in a short period of time and stimulate their physical potential. After playing a game for 20 minutes, you need to rest for at least three days.

Because of the demonstrations of veterans such as Olajuwon, Reggie Miller, and Barkley, this is no secret.

Nash has even become the second person after Coach D to learn this magical physical therapy technique.

Nash ravaged Kidd and Hill before the game, and the scene of Kidd and Hill killing everyone after the game was really shocking.

Unexpectedly, except for Coach D, Nash now has such ability.

This is really shocking, just shocking, but it does not scare the strong NBA teams who have been staring at the Bobcats. On the contrary, they feel more relaxed.

Before, they didn't know what Coach D was going to do in the Bobcats.

Now, they know, what can Coach D do when he comes to a team like the Bobcats?

After that, it will definitely be the arrival of Yao Ming, opening up another era of NBA All-Star voting.

In 1997, it exceeded 245 million. This can only be said to be an accident where the NBA attracted fans from the NCAA.

It cannot be said to be a cliff-like decline. Before Yao Ming entered the NBA, this was just a return to the normal level of the NBA.

In the summer league game between the Bobcats and the Clippers, Grant Hill even wore a Bobcats and Duke co-branded jersey!
During the game, Grant Hill faced Russell's defense, took the ball and passed Russell in one step, then rushed to the basket like lightning, and completed a dunk against Griffin's short hands. I don't know how much he gave up. The old Duke fans were excited and crazy.

Jordan's popularity and foundation in the NBA cannot be compared to Hill.

Many people say that Cleveland fans voted James into the All-Stars one by one while riding their bicycles.

As for Duke fans, their feelings for Hill are absolutely true.

After that, the votes for the 1998 All-Star Game leader fell off a cliff. Jordan was left with only 102 million votes, and Hill, who was second, only had 83 votes left.

The only thing Coach D can do in the Bobcats is to shock all NBA audiences like this game.

No matter how good Duke is.

You know, the NCAA is not just the two giants North Carolina and Duke.

After all, there is only one NCAA rookie player, Duke, who won the All-Star vote in his first year in the NBA.

Let people see the action and influence of North Carolina and Duke fans.

Of course, Carter is different from Hill. Carter attracts fans from everyone, not just the NCAA, but also freestyle basketball fans. Although he doesn’t attract that many fans, he can attract some from everywhere, and the NCAA can attract some. Other leagues can also absorb some. As long as you are a basketball fan, no matter what kind of basketball you like, it is difficult not to like the demigods of that time.

Because before Jordan retired for the first time, he was at a normal level of 100 million.

After all, in the NBA for so many years, the best time before was actually just over 100 million before Jordan retired, and after Jordan retired, he only had a few hundred thousand left.

Therefore, the battle between Hill and Jordan is actually a battle between Duke and North Carolina. The battle for the All-Star votes ended in 1997. The gap was too big, and it was a big gap that made Duke desperate, unless Hill really won MVP, otherwise there will be no need to do this kind of thing like Jordan in the All-Star voting in the future.

In 95, during the All-Star Game, Hill's votes for the top vote shot up to more than 128 million.

However, there is no doubt that the era that really made NCAA fans crazy about the NBA was only the competition between Hill and Jordan for the All-Star voting that year, which forced Jordan to win the 245 million vote champion.

North Carolina only needs to reply, we have Jordan, and Duke can only gnash their teeth and become furious in the end.

This damn thing is really full of youth!

Seeing Jordan being fucked by Hill, the fans of the University of North Carolina were angry the next year, so they finally took action, so that the number of votes for the 1997 All-Star Game created incredible history.

It can be said that the fans of the University of North Carolina may not have that deep affection for Jordan, because Jordan's achievements in the NCAA are actually not that strong. The fans of the University of North Carolina may be more interested in taking advantage of Jordan. Suppress Duke and feel good about yourself.

Every game shocks the audience, makes the audience look forward to the Bobcats game, and makes the NCAA fans in Charlotte gradually develop the habit of supporting the Bobcats and the NBA.

It scared NBA commissioner David Stern out of his wits.

After the fans of the University of North Carolina reacted, Hill was naturally no longer a match for Jordan. After all, the fans of North Carolina and Duke were about the same size.

Grant Hill was definitely the person who gave Duke fans the brightest light during their darkest time.

As long as the fans of the University of North Carolina have as much affection for Jordan as Duke University has for Hill, Jordan will not be embarrassed to lose to Hill.

The Bobcats are not the Lakers, and Charlotte is not Los Angeles. For such a team, no matter how strong Coach D is, what can he do?

Without the support of Duke University fans, would Grant Hill, a rookie, use his head to overpower O'Neal and then Jordan?
If Grant Hill only relied on NBA fans, it would be impossible to defeat Jordan.

In 94, during the All-Star Game, Barkley, the vote leader, only had 79 votes.

And the NCAA, with just two fans, can double the number of votes from more than 100 million to more than 200 million. What a terrifying amount of fans!
It is precisely because of this battle for the All-Star vote king that David Stern is eyeing North Carolina and Duke.

In 96, Hill won more than 135 million votes, beating Jordan with more than 134 million votes.

But when it comes to how crazy the fans are, these two teams are still stronger.

Duke University has produced many NBA superstars, but Grant Hill is definitely the most special one from Duke University.

The battle between North Carolina and Duke, the two most popular powerhouses in the NCAA at the time, simply caused the number of votes for the top vote-getter to explode.

In 97, when Jordan regained the vote crown, Jordan's votes reached 245 million, while Hill's was 186 million.

After Jordan, the North Carolina Tiger, came back, he once again won the first place in the All-Star voting. The only player from Duke University who surpassed Jordan was Hill.

The competition between Duke and North Carolina in the NCAA was almost crazy.

The next time the NBA can attract fans from the NCAA again, it will have to wait until Vince Carter enters the league.

That time, Duke and North Carolina fans really went crazy in the NBA.

Of course, it is precisely because the fighting power displayed by these two fans is so terrifying that David Stern is so covetous of the NCAA fan market that he almost doesn't hide anything.

He just wants the NCAA, he just wants the NBA to enter the NCAA!

If Adam Silver expands the NBA's revenue and finances, he is opening up gambling and expanding the NBA's gray revenue.

So David Stern really wants to expand the NBA's influence by expanding the NBA's finances.

Working hard and in a low voice, we develop the Chinese market and the international market.

He secretly infiltrated Chen Cang and tried his best to sneak 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 is half the battle.

The development of the international market was naturally successful.

But the expansion of the NCAA market was a huge failure, and it was a humiliating defeat. In the end, even Jordan, a North Carolina native, slapped him hard in the face. Damn it, he was scared by the NCAA. It's time to change the name.

Finally, David Stern looked back and realized that the closest the NBA got to the hearts of NCAA fans was when it acquired Grant Hill.

Every time he thinks about this, David Stern feels that he is really unlucky.

If Hill had no injuries, if Hill could really reach his potential, if Hill could have Jordan's achievements in the NBA, no, even if he only had James' achievements, Hill would be able to help the NBA win in the NCAA. Take a puff and suck the NCAA until it hurts.

When Jordan entered the league, Magic entered the league, and Big Bird entered the league, they were not able to get their NCAA home teams to support them so wildly.

In the history of the NBA, no NCAA star who came as a rookie has received the support of Hill.

However, Hill's talent is indeed inferior to Jordan's.

If Jordan's talents and achievements were given to Hill, really, David Stern would laugh out of 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. In the matter of Hill, He didn't do anything wrong.

It's just a matter of bad luck.

Therefore, after the game between the Bobcats and the Clippers, not only Hill's various wonderful goal videos and GIFs of the Bobcats and Clippers game flooded the Internet, this was not only the carnival of fans, but also the official and NBA officials NCAA officials were shocked.

NBA officials immediately retweeted Hill's performance on social networks and praised Hill's performance. The picture was of Hill and Coach D hugging each other. However, from the side, it looked like a Duke University jersey style.

At the same time, Duke University also immediately forwarded Hill's performance in this game, but the picture was of Hill riding on Griffin and the text was: Welcome back, our legend!

Even Duke University has done this, and NCAA officials can't do anything even if they don't want to.

Therefore, in the end, I simply retweeted Duke University’s official tweet. It was just a repost without any text or even likes.

Such news as the official announcement of the NCAA made many American basketball experts and commentators laugh like crazy.

"You NBA players and coaches are all working hard for the NBA championship next season. You guys, your structure is far different from Coach D. Coach D is now working hard for the greatest cause in the NBA. He is here. The achievements of the season will exceed one, two, three, or even four, five, six, or seven championships!”

"Hahahaha, if you give Coach D a few more NBA spots, I bet that Coach D would even dare to bring the Detroit Five to the Bobcats, hahahaha..."

After these American basketball experts made these comments, they all called the NCAA officials very mean.

This really made the NCAA officials very uncomfortable.

To be honest, they are really miserable right now!

They are really afraid that Coach D will bring back the Detroit Five!
Damn it!
If the Detroit Five are really brought back, the NCAA will probably have no peace.

You know, in the eyes of David Stern, NCAA fans are monolithic, and in the eyes of many people, they are monolithic. In fact, in the eyes of real NCAA executives, today's NCAA fans are not so pure.

Today's NCAA fans are also very dissatisfied with the corruption at the top of the NCAA and the greed and profit-seeking of the NCAA league.

Well, there are also NCAA players who are dissatisfied. Why do your league, schools, coaches, and popular players have to treat us players like cows and horses?

Therefore, fewer and fewer outstanding NCAA players play for four years. Most of them want to leave after one year if they have the opportunity.

If the players do this, will the fans be satisfied? Of course I'm not satisfied. I just fell in love with you, and you fucked up and got out of here. How do you expect me to fall in love with you?

Your players have no sense of team honor and no awareness of sacrificing their own interests for the team. How can we support you?

Therefore, in the current NCAA fan circle, there are also many people who miss the past.

Look at Duncan, he was the top pick in 1995. He waited until 1997 to get his college diploma before going to the NBA.

Look at Michael Jordan. He only played three years in college and was spurned by the fans of the University of North Carolina. If Duke fans hadn't used Hill to suppress Jordan and disgust North Carolina, North Carolina fans would not support Jordan even if they beat him to death.

Why do Duke fans love Hill so much?

Because Hill could obviously go to the NBA early and make a lot of money, but for Duke, he insisted on playing in the NCAA for four years.

Hill led the team to the finals three times in the NCAA in four years and won the championship twice.

In that era, NCAA stars who graduated early and participated in the draft would be spurned and reviled by fans.

Even Jordan is no exception.

What now?
When an NCAA star plays for two years, he or she loves the team. If you are an NCAA fan, you won't like such a star. You may still love your team, but you definitely don't love these stars that much anymore. Therefore, even now, the most popular stars in the NCAA are actually former veterans such as the Detroit Five, Grant Hill, etc.

The Bobcats' performance in the summer league began to cause ripples in the NCAA fan circle.

But in NBA circles, especially in professional circles, it has gradually been forgotten.

The goal of the Bobcats next season is not to win the championship. Coach D has found the reason for coming to the Bobcats, which is to cooperate with David Stern's strategy of entering the NCAA.

Many people are feeling emotional at this time.

"Next season, I have nothing to worry about!"

Therefore, many NBA experts and professionals are staring at the Heat, the Celtics, the Cavaliers, the Warriors, and teams like the Lakers and Thunder.

Lynx?

Until free agency comes to an end in the summer.

The Bobcats are still ranked 25th in the NBA power rankings.

After all, it is really a fantasy to expect veterans like Jordan, Hill, Kidd, and O'Neal, who can only 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.

Fan circles, whether NBA or NCAA fan circles, are really hot!
"Summer is finally over!"

"Jordan, Hill, O'Neal, Rose...they are finally coming together!!!"
