Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 17 Bias



Chapter 17 Bias
This view of the magician represents the mainstream opinion of the NBA. It is really not a good thing for high school students to get in touch with the professional arena prematurely.

In terms of basketball skills, high school players have not been baptized by the strict tactical requirements of the NCAA. They may not be able to understand or have the ability to implement even the tactical requirements of NBA coaches.

From the perspective of life, NBA professional players are full of too many temptations in such a career that makes money every day. Drugs, flesh and blood, countless spotlights, these things are too easy for people to get lost.

In such an environment, pastors may throw away the Bible they are holding in their hands, not to mention those high school students who have not formed the three views.

Larry Bird: "I also advocate that you should go to college. People who go to college can at least use more vocabulary when talking about trash.

Someone more gifted like me learned in college how to use logic to beat my opponents. "

Dr. J. Julius Erwin: "Indeed, I think the league should change the rules sooner, preferably banning high school students from joining.

Talented players like Bryant set a bad example for a lot of mediocre kids.

I heard that his teammates also chose to participate in the election this year. His name seems to be Wang Dazhi. You can tell by this name that he is a player from the Asia-Pacific region.

This kid is 7 feet tall, but he's only 220 pounds."

Dr. J Julius Owen said, and Larry Bird looked at Magic Johnson at the same time.

Magic Johnson: "Why are you looking at me like that?
I used to be that skinny 20 years ago!
But 220 pounds can't handle the intensity of the NBA. His scouting report says that the kid likes to shoot three-pointers very much. Also, such a body will be torn apart in the paint!

I bet his waist is not as thick as Alonzo Mourning's arms! "

Dr. J Julius Owen: "You don't need to use Alonzo Mourning as an example, it's enough for you to put yourself in front of the camera."

Dr. J Julius Owen raised his eyebrows at Magic Johnson, and the chubby Magic Johnson also showed off his fat-covered biceps very cooperatively.

Larry Bird: "Look, viewers, this is the NBA's bias against big shooters!
In fact, this kid has completed four years of credits after only three years of high school. Let me tell you a secret. If Wang Dazhi can complete four years of high school, although his score will not catch up with Kobe, there is a high probability. Will surpass Wilt Chamberlain! "

Larry Bird knows that the NBA is a league with skin color discrimination, and it is getting worse now, but this kind of words must not be said clearly.

For non-black players, especially a big man who can shoot three-pointers, Larry Bird has a natural affection for Wang Dazhi.

Magic Johnson: "Wow! It's a good thing Wilt Chamberlain didn't know about it, otherwise he would be back in the high school classroom tonight."

Dr. J Julius Owen: "If such an international player can finish four years of college, there may be NBA teams willing to try it, but an international high school player
With all due respect, if I were in management, I would never take such a risk. "

Dr. J Julius Owen's views on Wang Dazhi's draft prospects are exactly what most people think.

It is actually normal for Wang Dazhi to be looked down upon by the outside world. First of all, there is no precedent for Asian players landing in the NBA, and secondly, Wang Dazhi is a high school player.

But if the media could watch a few videos of Wang Dazhi's games, maybe they wouldn't be so mean to him.

It's a pity that when Kobe attracted a lot of attention, very few people mentioned Wang Dazhi. Wang Dazhi is like the dark side under the projection of a chandelier.

Even in Kobe's collection, Wang Dazhi is nothing more than a big yellow-skinned man who keeps running back and forth.

Although Kobe had passed many wonderful alley-oop dunks for Wang Dazhi, his passing ability was not mentioned much in Kobe's draft report.

These unfair treatments were actually within Wang Dazhi's expectations. As a pioneer who overcame all obstacles, he felt that what he had endured was nothing.

After being discussed by the Big Three of TNT, he also borrowed Kobe's light. Even if he didn't get any good comments, he still had a certain degree of exposure.

In 1996, the draft year in the long history of the NBA, Kobe was able to be discussed by the TNT Big Three at the beginning of the show, all thanks to the golden sign of the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is also the fundamental willingness of countless big names to rush to this giant. The Lakers = exposure = US dollars. The ambiguous relationship between Kobe and the Los Angeles Lakers has long been caught by sports reporters.

Adidas and an entertainment company also directly signed this talented young man who is likely to live in a wealthy family. As for Wang Dazhi, he was also mentioned by the way. It was entirely Magic Johnson who wanted to tell the joke that his arms were thicker than his waist. It's just a tool for jokes.

In the environment of this year, Wang Dazhi has no way to tie up the huge Asian market, so his identity as a Chinese does not bring him any extra bargaining chips, but his yellow skin has become a place of discrimination by others.

Lao Qiao was very concerned about Wang Dazhi, and he also used all his connections to contact the 76ers, Clippers and Rockets, although Wang Dazhi got the opportunity to try out for these three teams.

However, the three teams who tried out Wang Dazhi turned out to be staff at the trainer level, that is, no matter how good Wang Dazhi performed, he was not noticed by the team's management.

Only then did Wang Dazhi and Old Joe realize that if it wasn't for Kobe's relationship, Wang Dazhi would never have gotten a fair trial training opportunity with the Los Angeles Lakers anyway.

In the eyes of Lao Qiao, Wang Dazhi is already another child of himself, but in the eyes of the NBA team management, Wang Dazhi is just an Asian who cannot succeed on the basketball court. In this league full of discrimination, Yellow skin is the original sin.

Old Qiao was very sad about such things, he kept comforting Wang Dazhi, Wang Dazhi himself was not pessimistic about such things, he knew that Jeremy Lin suffered even more cruelly than him even after more than ten years.

Regardless of whether he is selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 24th pick in the first round, Wang Dazhi vowed to make his own way in this prejudiced league. Even if he loses like Jeremy Lin, he will not give up any chance.

The best way to break prejudice is to silence cold-eyed bystanders with an impeccable performance.
