Chapter 73 Good Memories and Cruel Data

Hey, I'm Gilbert Arenas and this is my story.

When I first entered the NBA,

I played the first 40 games of my career on the bench.

They think I can't play,

I think they didn't see my talent at all.

They think I'm a zero, useless.

But instead of sitting there complaining, I just kept training, training.

When no one believes in you, any effort you make will earn you points.

It's not a question of whether I can play basketball well,

Rather I want to prove them wrong.

Now I still wear the No. 0 jersey because I have to tell myself to work hard every day.

……

The above is an article in the Adidas advertisement "My Story", although in this series, there are also famous athletes such as Messi, Isinbayeva, Ma Xiaoxu and so on.However, the only one who was really underestimated from the beginning to the end but rose to the top stage was "Agent Zero" - Arenas.

When he drew a lonely bearded head LOGO with an oil-based pen, and told his story with his voice that is neither hoarse nor magnetic, what people see is a story of a young man who does not give in to fate and constantly challenges his limits.

When time enters the 21st century, people will find that after the first 10 years of this century, the league is entering the era of combo guards, and the leader of this trend is naturally the great son of Philadelphia-Alan Iver Sen, but if you have to find a founder, you can only choose Gilbert Arenas.

When this guy unreasonably took shots a few steps outside the 3-point line and made shots, his opponent felt like he was being killed from the bottom of his heart.It is understandable to imagine the Jazz who were defeated in the regular season last season. Perhaps in the next 10 years, the images of them being defeated by Arenas' 3-pointer and celebrating in advance will repeatedly appear in front of fans.

It can be said that only Arenas can perform the duel to such a domineering level!

Although in subsequent interviews, Arenas also admitted that this was a rehearsed celebration plan. Once the ball is not scored, he can put his head in his hands to express regret.But in reality there is no if, he entered, so he is the domineering general. (Yang Shaoxia, who had been with the Wizards, also wanted to copy this ball, but...you all know it!)

The above is the Arenas who was born in the memory of the fans and could win even against Kobe.Take back those full memories for a while, return your brain to normal, and return your thinking to logic.

The following are the data Arenas achieved in the past two peak seasons, that is, the 05-06 season and the 06-07 season:
05-06 season: played 80 games, averaged 42.3 minutes per game, shot 44.7% from the field, 3% from the three-point range, averaged 36.9 points, 29.3 assists, and 6.1 rebounds per game.

06-07 season: played 74 games, averaged 39.8 minutes per game, shot 41.8% from the field, 3% from the three-point range, averaged 35.1 points, 28.4 assists, and 6.0 rebounds per game.

Well, at first glance, it looks like the standard equipment of a non-stop killer star, with first-class scoring ability, but the question is whether the shooting percentage is too low.Don't even have a 45% shooting rate. Isn't such a player often called a cancer under normal circumstances?

If these paper data are not enough, let's look at another advanced data, the legendary Hollinger efficiency value invented by Kobe Bryant's mortal enemy ESPN columnist Ji * Hollinger, also known as the PER value:
In the 05-06 season, Arenas' PER value was 23.8, ranking tenth in the league.

In the 06-07 season, Arenas' PER value ranked No.11 in the league.

The efficiency value of the league's best scorer can't even rank in the top 5 in the league, which can already explain some problems.

If you ask Arenas with a first-class star, Agent Zero is undoubtedly a guy who can repeatedly create surprises.But when he is really placed in the super giant position required by his iron core, most of Dong Qiudi will definitely spray the fans with saliva, and then laugh: "Go to bed and sleep!"

Ruan Erniu didn't say harsh words in front of Leon Rose, but that didn't mean he didn't want to beat Arenas.

After learning about Arenas' stats and game videos, Erniu has figured out one thing. If the opponent explodes, it is normal to lose.But he is absolutely impossible to explode every game. After the Hawks and Wizards compete in a few games in the regular season, people will come to the most rational evaluation.

Ruan Erniu is actively preparing for the game, and the time has come to the match day. On October 2007, 10, a familiar call hit Ruan Erniu's mobile phone.

"Let me guess, Russell, you boy would never call me casually! Did you want to ask me if I could get someone's autograph?" Ruan Erniu spoke to the phone with a smirk on his face. Said.

Westbrook on the other end of the phone shyly said: "Hey, I told you about this a few days ago, cut down the nonsense, and ask now if you want to help me?"

Ruan Erniu understood his brother's temper very well, so he quickly comforted him with kind words: "Don't worry, don't worry, I didn't say that I won't help you get an autograph! Don't worry, don't worry, he and I are both players under Adidas. I still want to get it!"

This year, Westbrook finally took the starting position at UCLA, and changed his jersey number back to his favorite number zero. Why do he like number zero?Well, just look at the Wizards No. 0 on the court.

Of course, it must be pointed out that idols in the population of the United States often have such a role: to admire him!chase him!surpass him!
"Are you kidding?" Arenas, who was practicing 3-pointers, looked at Ruan Erniu, who was holding the Wizards' No. 0 jersey in one hand and a signing pen in the other.

"NO! In fact, I'm not interested in your autographed jersey, but my friend is your fan, so please help me sign it!" Ruan Erniu said with a smile.

In this state, it is not obvious that he is domineering inside.

Arenas is also an interesting guy. He took the jersey and pen with a smile, but did not rush to sign, but said with a smile: "I signed it for you, and you will let us take a game away here." Victory?"

Ruan Erniu immediately said: "Impossible! Although it's just a preseason game, it's impossible to admit defeat. However, I can properly release water on the premise of winning!"

Arenas looked contemptuous, glanced at Ruan Erniu, signed his name on the jersey, and threw it to the opponent.

"You don't need to release water, the Wizards will not lose to the Eagles!"

Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "Relax, brother, this is just a preseason game."

After finishing speaking, Er Niu wandered back to the home team's area like a victor. His teammates were all worried about him, afraid that this yellow-skinned rookie would suffer, but now it seems that there is no problem!

囧囧sen drew conclusions on Er Niu’s deadly behavior: “That is to say, you asked for a jersey on the court. If you were in the locker room, maybe Kraft has been put a gun to the head by Gilbert! Kraft, yours Good luck!"

Ruan Erniu scoffed at Jon Jonson's statement. It wasn't until December 2009 that he realized how naive he was!
