How could so many teams be interested in him?
Altos was shocked.
A rookie who had only played for five minutes and had almost no chance to play before had attracted the interest of many teams, including the New York Knicks, the Atlanta Hawks, the Seattle SuperSounders, the Philadelphia 76ers, and so on.
Among them, other than the New York Knicks who did not have any draft picks this year, the other teams, such as the Sixers, had three first-round teams. The highest number of players could even be selected in the lottery.
Of course, there weren't any special names for talent shows such as Lottery Show or Little Green House. It was only a few years after Stern reformed the draft system that they appeared.
But no matter what, with the Sixers 'record last season, they could at most enter the top six.
Including the draft picks they traded for, they had three first-round games.
Even though Liang Wenhao only had five minutes of superb performance, and there were very few samples to test his strength, his performance alone took place in the last five minutes of the NCAA finals. He played the role of a superhero and led the team to a comeback victory, winning the team's first NCAA championship…
With such a big heart, even if he was not optimistic, there was a high chance that he would enter the first round.
In addition to his forward height of more than two meters, as well as his outstanding athletic talent, offensive ability, and some soft skills such as ball control, he had a 100% chance of entering the first round.
In the 1970s and 1980s, players who were more than two meters tall were completely different from those who were less than two meters tall.
If Jordan was taller than a two-meter forward, he might not have gotten to the Chicago Bulls. The Blazers would have taken the lead, even if they already had Drexler on their team.
Unfortunately, in the current league, height was the most important component. It was the talent that the league managers valued the most.
So why was Michael Jordan so great that no matter how many championships he won in the future, it would be difficult to shake him?
Because of his appearance, not only did he obtain many honors that others could not match up to, but he also changed the treatment of defenders and even frontline players in the league.
As a result, the shortest draft pick in history, Allen Iverson, who was only 183 centimeters tall, appeared.
All in all, after Jordan, the defenders with excellent physical conditions were favored by the league. Even if they were not the top scorer, they could still be selected at the top pick.
For example, Chris Mullin, Garry Payton, Jim Jackson, Jason Kidd, Marbury, Ray Allen, and so on.
In the future, these people would all be in the top five or even the top three.
If this was before Jordan…
The managers of the major leagues looked at your reaction. What was that? You're not even two meters tall?
Then let's wait a little longer until the big guy is chosen.
Although this statement was a bit exaggerated, under the same conditions, it was an indisputable fact that the Alliance valued height more.
Let's take a look at the list and we'll know why the Alliance favors big players.
List of NBA MVP from 1970 to 1983:
1970-1971, Abdur Jabbar, Milkinson Bucks, center;
1971-1972, Abdur Jabbar, Milkinson Bucks, center;
1972-1973, Dave Cowens, Boston Celtics, center/power forward;
1973-1974, Abdur Jabbar, Milkinson Bucks, center;
1974-1975, Bob McDo, Buffalo Braves, center/power forward;
1975-1976, Abdur Jabbar, Los Angeles Clippers, center;
1976-1977, Abdur Jabbar, Los Angeles Clippers, center;
1977-1978 Bill Walton, center of the portland trail blazers;
1978-1979 Moses Malone, Houston Rockets, center;
1979-1980, Abdur Jabbar, Los Angeles Clippers, center;
1980-1981, Julius Owen, Philadelphia 76ers, small forward;
1981-1982 Moses Malone, Houston Rockets, center;
1982-1983 Moses Malone, Philadelphia 76ers, center.
Almost all of them were inside players, even limited to centers.
This was why there was a saying that whoever had an insider would have the world!
These MVP winners were the core of the championship team. This had been the case since the era of Chamberlain and Russell.
The inside players were more favored.
Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Jordan had changed the treatment of players under two meters.
He had gone too far.
Once they were really interested in Liang Wenhao, they could easily get him in the first round. How could other teams have a chance?
The worst case scenario was the Hawks. Their signing this year would not be too low either…
Thinking of this, other than Nix, who wanted to get a free ride, Artes became nervous. He had been very interested in Liang Wenhao before and planned to pay attention to him in the coming year.
However, Liang Wenhao's sudden announcement of his participation in the draft, as well as the interest of many teams in him, stunned him.
"Should we choose him?"
Just as he was looking at the report and feeling a little flustered, his assistant asked him in a seductive tone.
Artes looked up at his assistant and opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated.
That kid was only a freshman. It was only a five-minute competition. How could he show his strength?
But...
What did those teams want to do? Why did they value this five-minute talent so much?
Could it be that they also took a fancy to his talent?
No, I have to hold it in!
Artes took a deep breath and spread his hands.""If we want to pick him, it looks like we can't do it without a first-round signing, but we don't have a first-round signing.”
"We can trade up and trade with teams that are not interested in Liang and do not have a suitable candidate in the first round.”The assistant continued to bewitch her.
“！！！”
Artes 'breathing quickened again. He looked at the other party in a daze…
You're making things difficult for me!
That kid was not just an ordinary alluring person!
Especially that big heart, which was the type of player that Aters liked the most.
(These two chapters are a little too much. Please forgive me. After all, some things from this era are written in detail. Many people will be confused and not understand.）
