NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 81 Panini (56)

In addition to Chen Xiaowai, there are currently 3 Bobcats center forwards who are still under contract, including Byron Mullens, Desagena Diop, and Bismack Biyombo.

The 7-foot Byron Mullens still has a one-year contract of 200 million yuan. Last season, he averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds per game. He looked okay, but his total shooting percentage was only 4%.

Desagina Diop was traded from the Mavericks before. He played 27 times last season and contributed 12 point and 1 rebounds in 3 minutes, which is negligible.But with a 700 million contract, 700 million 1 point.

Chen Xiao looked at it, how could he feel that the bobcats were collecting tatters, and they also specially collected the tatters of the calf.

There is also a name that Chen Xiao is familiar with, Biyombo, last year's No. 7 pick, in Chen Xiao's impression, this is a strange person who got a big contract through a series of games.

In his rookie season, he averaged 5+5 per game, and his field goal percentage and free throw percentage were both less than 5%.

Biyombo, with bare feet less than 2 meters, should be playing a small forward, but his exaggerated wingspan of 03 cm with a wingspan ratio of 231 gives him an astonishing height of 1.14 cm as a center forward, which makes him suitable for the inside position.

But he has basically no offensive ability beyond 3 feet from the basket, which makes him only as a pure blue collar to help the team.

The three were referred to by Chen Xiao as "one iron, one old and one slow".

Hey, after reading the materials, Chen Xiao also understands that this is not a simple question about Heywood, but after the second round of the draft, Danzi officially began to consult the team's future core team building opinions.

It's a pity that this Xialian Middleton played like shit, and Chen Xiao's outstanding vision could not be reflected in a short time.

"Diop can be ignored. Mullens likes to shoot and let him start to practice three-pointers. He can also save some time by my side. As for Biyombo, we don't actually need him. My suggestion is to take advantage of him. He has only played for a year, and if there is a suitable offer, he can be disposed of." Chen Xiao thought for a moment, and expressed his thoughts straightforwardly.

Qiao Dan, who was smoking a cigarette and waiting for Chen Xiao to speak, did not expect Chen Xiao to talk at length, and coughed because of the smoke for a while.

"Ahem, your opinion is very pertinent. Chen, what about Heywood, do you think the Bobcats need him?" But after asking all the questions, Jordan's wavering heart became firmer, and he asked straight to the point.

Looking at Danzi, who prefers the "North Carolina Department" and strives to solve the employment rate of graduates for his alma mater, Chen Xiao did not raise any objections.

After all, Haywood, who has a guaranteed contract of 900 million, only needs a veteran's basic salary to sign after being amnesty.It seems that Heywood still has oil, and he is quite popular in the market. According to the data, both the Heat and Mosaic are interested in Heywood.

From the perspective of the team, let Mullens try to play power forward at that time. Diop will occupy a spot in this situation. In fact, with Chen Xiao, Biyombo, who is still a rookie, will have little time to train him if he plays center. Playing power forward is not suitable for Chen Xiao.It was just right for Heywood to come to Chen Xiao as a substitute at a low price.

……

After the first Las Vegas Summer League game, the Bobcats announced that Chen Xiao, who scored 21 points and 23 rebounds in 11 minutes of the first game, would not play in the next game.

According to a tweet by reporter Rick Ronald of the "Charlotte Observer", the Bobcats have always planned to let Chen Xiao play in 1 to 2 games. The Bobcats hope that Chen Xiao can feel what it is like to play in the NBA.And Chen Xiao, who performed bravely in the first game, also made the Bobcats realize that one game is enough.

According to Chen Xiao's agent, Schwartz, Chen Xiao will focus on the London Olympics, which will open in half a month, and after the Olympics, Chen Xiao will return to Charlotte for summer training in due course.

Chen Xiao didn't participate in the upcoming Summer League. The most disappointed was not the Bobcats and Chen Xiao fans, but the league. After all, so many rice knives were collected in the first game, but it was a pity that they couldn't accept one game.

……

After the end of the summer league tour, Chen Xiao planned to return to China for training as planned. Schwartz, who originally planned to travel with him, told Chen Xiao that the star card company Panini wanted to cooperate with him after watching Chen Xiao's summer league game.

Just because there is no direct domestic flight from Las Vegas, Chen Xiao was planning to fly back to China via Los Angeles, and the market for star cards is quite huge in Beimou.

The drizzle cast a hazy brilliance on Los Angeles. Chen Xiao walked down the gangway, feeling the Los Angeles in the gentle wind and drizzle, which was completely different from the 40-degree furnace in Las Vegas at this time.

Chen Xiao took out the crumpled note in his pocket, which was stuffed by the youngest stewardess on the plane while secretly giving him a glance.

Chen Xiao tore it into several pieces and threw it into the trash can in the airport.Don't get me wrong, this stewardess is not in the same situation as Lindsay before, and Chen Xiao is not a ball of paper that was thrown away after recording the number.

It’s just that I haven’t seen it at all. As for the reason, I can only say that United Airlines or most Chinese airlines are really not good. The youngest flight attendant is probably 40 years old.

It's really forced, the kind that Chen Xiao can't resist if he wants to resist.

After picking up his mood, Chen Xiao and Schwartz, who picked him up from the airport, went to the reserved conference room near the airport, where Panini's representative was already waiting.

Panini is actually not a bad country company, but an Italian company established in 1961. In the early years, it was engaged in football star cards and owned the copyrights of Serie A and World Cup, which made them a lot of money in the field of football star cards.

And 3 years ago, in January 09, Panini completed the negotiation with the NBA, obtained the exclusive copyright of the NBA, and has since entered the basketball field.

After taking his seat, Chen Xiao watched quietly. After Panini introduced the star card market and development prospects eloquently, he said that they had been observing Chen Xiao since the NCAA. After the draft and the Summer League, they made a decision and hoped to sign an exclusive cooperation agreement with Chen Xiao.

They will launch a series of signed star cards for Chen Xiao, which will include materials from his college days, the draft, and the Summer League.

There seems to be no market for this thing in China, right?Chen Xiao retrieved his memory.At least there is no heat like sneakers and jerseys.It may be an attempt by them to enter the Eastern market.

But in fact, what they value more is Chen Xiao's influence in the most mature market. As Chen Xiao, who completed the college basketball Grand Slam this year and was elected as the No. [-] pick in the NBA, is undoubtedly one of the most watched rookies and basketball players this year.

After Shanmao chose Chen Xiao, a series of substantial commercial growth has been brought about, which also confirms Chen Xiao's commercial appeal in at least some areas.

This will also give Chen Xiao's team an advantage in the subsequent series of business negotiations.
