NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 317 Rodman joins the CBA
After the promotion, the club also gave three alternatives.

These three are naturally the next rookies to participate in the 99 draft.

The first candidate was named Trajan Langdon, and Davidson had seen the player's draft pick on the draft stone.

Selected with the [-]th overall pick, he played for the famous Duke University in college.

It seems that the potential and strength are very good. After all, it is definitely a top young player who can get the top position in a super prestigious school like Duke.

But with a height of only 191, Davidson directly gave up the choice of this player.

The next second candidate is named Leon Smith.

This player is a high school player who graduated from Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Chicago, and the pick on the draft stone is the 29th pick.

With a height of 208 cm, he played the No. [-] position in high school.

Davidson is a little disappointed, this is not the player he wants.

It seems that the three options this time are a bit bad, and the first two are completely uninterested in Davidson.

It may be that I ran into Carter randomly before and ran out of luck, so this time the luck is not very good.

The third candidate was named Li Nailong. At first hearing the name, he thought he was an Asian player.

The reason why they are Asian players is that besides China, many other Asian countries also have the word Li in their names.

Because of this name, Davidson also specifically asked scouts to find out about Li Nailong.

As a result, after getting the news, Davidson found out that this guy was an out-and-out American, surnamed Neilon, who played for Texas Christian University in college.

It just so happened that Davidson got the player's handbook of this guy and found that although this guy is not Chinese, he has a relationship with China.

After this guy couldn't get along in the NBA, he played in China for a while.

And it's not the CBA, but the NBL league under the CBA.

With a height of 206 cm and a forward position, he was selected No.14 in the second round on the draft stele, so his strength is definitely not that strong.

Davidson was very uncomfortable. The three players given were all old American players, and none of the players he liked.

Davidson thought over and over again, and finally decided to choose Li Nailong...

There are reasons for choosing Li Nailong, first of all, Li Nailong's position.

He is 206 cm tall, but he plays the small forward position, and Davidson still needs a small forward player.

There are Carter and Nash in the backcourt, and Big Zhi and Bus in the inside. Even if the bus will be replaced by Datang in the future, Datang will still be inside.

Now there is a lack of a small forward player, and Li Nailong is a good choice.

Secondly, according to the introduction in the player's handbook, Li Nailong's career is not too long. In this way, Davidson can also replace Li Nailong at any time.

Of course, the previous two candidates may not have long careers, and they may not be as long as Li Nailong, but now Davidson does not have the player manuals of those two, so he is not very clear about the future development of these two.

In addition to these two reasons, the most important thing is that Davidson now has a plan, which is to naturalize Li Nailong.

As his own natal player, Davidson must have a great influence on Li Nailong. Coupled with some other generous conditions, it is enough for Li Nailong to become a Chinese player.

Taking the path of naturalization is definitely not the right path, but now the older generation of strikers in the Chinese men's basketball team are almost retiring, and there are no decent strikers and defenders in the younger generation.

In this case, if the Chinese men's basketball team wants to go further in international competitions, it is definitely better to have a strong small forward player.

At present, Davidson's goal must be to train China's own high-quality forward and defensive players, but training players is not something that can be achieved in a day or two, so let's get Li Nailong first, and make a transition.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the Basketball Association agrees or disagrees with this matter. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it is very likely to disagree.

There was Jeremy Lin, a Chinese American in later generations. At that time, the Basketball Association had a discussion with Jeremy Lin about naturalization in the face of a gap between new and old players.

But it didn't work out in the end...

Thinking about it, it is unlikely that this matter will be settled, and the reason for this, as long as you are not stupid, you can definitely figure it out.

The situation of Li Nailong is completely different from that of Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin is of Chinese descent, while Li Nailong is black. At least for now, the Basketball Association is unlikely to have any interest in Li Nailong.

Davidson is not in a hurry. Anyway, there is still some time before the 2000 Olympics, so he can think about it slowly.

Let's get Li Nailong to China first.

Although Li Nailong has been bound as his natal player, Davidson currently has no intention of letting Li Nailong evolve. At least he must first get him to the CBA before considering his evolution.

Although Davidson has left the Grizzlies now, his contacts are still there after all.

The two main players in the Grizzlies team, Carter and Big Zhi, are Davidson's natal players. They both spoke up and asked the Grizzlies to use the first round pick to win Li Nailong. Of course, there is no problem at all. The Grizzlies management cannot have any opinions.

In this way, Li Nailong joined the Grizzlies and started his dark NBA journey...

Without any playing time at all, he has completely become the patron saint of drinking fountains.

When he can't get along in the NBA, it's Davidson's time to make a move.

……

Just after the draft, Davidson got a call that surprised him.

The call turned out to be from Rodman.

Rodman's words made Davidson feel like he was dreaming.

This guy actually wants to come to China to play...

Considering Rodman's temperament, it is not surprising to make such a request.

You must know that this guy has been to North Korea, and even said that he wants to hold a basketball league in North Korea...

Rodman is going to play, Davidson thought about it, it seems that it is not impossible to come.

Now that I take over Jiangsu Nangang, I have to achieve some decent results.

If Datang evolves, there will be no problem with the record. Nangang is definitely the number one seed to win the championship.

But now Datang will not be able to evolve until next year, which means that the arrival of Davidson has not significantly improved the overall strength of Nangang, so Davidson still prefers Rodman to help.

……

In the club, the small group created by Davidson has now established its own group by relying on rankings.

The name of the group is Five Star Club, which naturally means something similar to Yanhuang and Huaxia.

Although the current group has been established, the current strength of the five-star club is not enough to fight group battles.

Mainly because the strongest group in Vancouver has two super buyers, and Davidson is not sure that he can beat each other.
