NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 69

In the 01-02 season, Pau Gasol was the biggest favorite for all Rookie of the Year awards.

Gasol has secured his starting position in the Grizzlies, averaging 36.7 minutes per game, averaging 17.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, and 2.7 assists. can surpass him.

Originally, the No. 5 pick Jason Richardson went to the underdog Golden State Warriors. He was cultivated as the cornerstone of the team and has already firmly taken the starting position. However, according to the data, he is still far behind Gasol. .

At that time, the Grizzlies used the "Best Rookie" duel to hype Gasol and Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi did not expect that local reporters in Sacramento would also come to ask the best rookie question.

"Hey, beauty, December isn't over yet. We still have one game to play. Where do you start talking about you as a 'Rookie of the Month' candidate?"

Lu Yuanzhi did play a few good games in December, but it was useless, because his playing time was not stable, and if he just looked at the statistics, others would think he was a ghost.

This is the case with rotating players. Your performance in the data segment is not only related to your performance on the court, but also greatly limited by your playing time.

The people in the league management team don't have time to watch your games one by one. They prioritize whether there is a public relations lobby, and then consider whether there is a death order in the league who to support, and at most they look at the statistics.

Contest?Who is free to watch the game!
"Max, your statistics this month have come to an average of 11.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 1.1 assists, and 0.9 steals," the beautiful reporter Bulling looked at her big eyes, "But your average playing time , less than 15 minutes!"

"With your current data, it is indeed difficult to compete for the best rookie, but if Coach Adelman gives you more playing time, do you have the confidence to challenge this honor?"

Ok?
The fox tail is exposed!
Lu Yuanzhi never expected that the fire he provoked behind the scenes to question Adelman's formation would eventually burn back on himself.

Is it the law of cause and effect?

Now that he knows that the beauty in front of him has dug a big hole and wants to use himself as a weapon, Lu Yuanzhi will naturally not jump in, "Personal honor cannot be separated from the team's performance. What I can do now is to try my best to help the team win the game. As for the others, I don’t have the time to think about it.”

Of course, this sentence can be over-interpreted, but it doesn't matter. At most, it is written as "the king's rookie feels that Gasol is not worthy of his name, and he is collecting statistics in weak teams" Barabara.

It's the beginning of the 21st century, and it's commonplace for players to talk to each other, and there will be no serious consequences. Even if Gasol feels uncomfortable, so what?
Isn't what I said the truth?

If you're upset, you'd better take the Grizzlies and beat us!
And light and dust?

nonexistent!

Lu Yuanzhi had a big tone at the previous press conference. The beautiful reporter thought that he was also a brainless NBA player. He could get the news content he wanted with just a little guidance, but he didn't expect Lu Yuanzhi to be so slippery. Not even given a chance.

It's not like giving them no chance at all.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at the reporter's protruding figure wrapped in a white shirt and a one-step skirt, leaned over and said softly, "I want to go back to the apartment to train at night and break down the pressing defense with the ball in both hands. You can be my trainer." ?"

Beauty reporter: . . .

After training for most of the night, Lu Yuanzhi finally pulled himself together, and according to Bobby Jackson's instructions, he called a taxi for the trainer who was very loud on the training ground, and delivered him to the car himself.

After turning back and confirming with the staff in the lobby that the camera was working properly, Lu Yuanzhi dragged his tired body back to the apartment.

Who knows if this reporter is serious or not, anyway, they will be treated like flesh and blood to avoid future troubles.

Two days later, the Kings played their final game in 2001, at home against the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics have done well this year and are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

But everyone who understands understands that it is really impossible to see the eastern part at this time.

In the 01-02 season, the Celtics won 49 wins and tied for sixth in the Western Conference with the Trail Blazers.

Considering that the Eastern Conference teams have to play 4 games with the Eastern Conference teams and only 2 games with the Western Conference teams, the 49 wins are quite large, and may not be as good as the 8 wins of the 44 old Jazz in the Western Conference.

Lu Yuanzhi doesn't care how strong the Celtics are. No matter how strong the team is, when they come to Arco Arena, it's the dragon who coils for me, and the tiger who lies down for me.

This is the confidence of the Kings, who have the first record in the league and the first home winning percentage.

Lu Yuanzhi wants to meet Paul Pierce more!
It is rumored that Pierce suffered 11 stab wounds last year, but only stayed in the hospital for 2 days. He even appeared in training camp 9 days later, and appeared in the NBA game of the new season 35 days later, scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists against the Pistons.

Is this still human?
Lu Yuanzhi felt that there was something wrong with the rumors. The stabbing was probably a real stabbing, but he couldn't believe the wound with a depth of 8 centimeters.

With such fierce confrontation in the NBA, are you not afraid that the thread you are sewing will collapse, the blood will flow profusely, and you will be kicked off by the referee?
The Celtics lineup is center Tony Batty, power forward Antoine "Fat Toutuo" Walker, small forward "Truth" Pierce, attacking guard Joe Johnson, point guard Kenny Anderson.

The Chinese fans who first nicknamed Antoine Walker must have not read Jin Yong well. "Fat Toutuo" is obviously a tall and thin guy, and "Skinny Toutuo" is the fat guy!

As soon as the game opened, Antawn Walker pulled beyond the three-point line and began to show his ball handling.

Lu Yuanzhi sat on the sidelines, watching Walker's poor luck control, that's it?That's it?
It's not as good as Garnett's frontal change of direction two days ago!
No, no, no, this is not looking down on Garnett, it means that Garnett is 2 meters tall, and the front of the body is quite flexible. Walker, who is about 11 meters tall, can control the ball so constipated.

Webber stood one step inside the three-point line, watching Walker dribbling there like an idiot.

No matter how well you dribble, there is no vertical threat. If you just wander horizontally, there is no threat!
Walker didn't have the consciousness of being despised at all. He thought he was handsome, and became interested in dribbling. He directly received the ball and fired from outside the three-point line.

The ball is like a cannonball, with almost no spin, and flies to the basket with a flat arc.

"brush!"

Actually entered!

Walker became more excited, twisted his body, and danced on the field, his body fat trembling along with it.

Weber glanced at Walker, who was celebrating crazily, and his anger was constantly stacking up.

It’s just a three-pointer, right?
Coming to the Kings offense, Webb easily got his position outside the penalty area, received a pass from Bibby, and went straight to the inside without saying a word.

Walker's small size of "no three, no four" couldn't handle the standard power forward's post-up singles. He was arched all the way to the basket, and then watched Webber easily score under the basket.

In the next few offenses, Walker missed all of his three-point shots, but fortunately, Pierce made a timely shot and took over the team's offense, which sealed the score.

At 8 minutes in the first quarter, the Kings, which had already led by 5 points, replaced Webb for a rest and replaced Lu Yuanzhi to defend Walker.

Don’t you think you are very flexible?

Don't you love dribbling outside?

Don't you like shooting three-pointers?

OK!I'll send a small forward to defend you, let's see if you dare to play outside!
Walker: This guy is about my height, you call this a small forward?
