Chapter 219: Completion without suspense
"The genius of Oak Hill High School who once went to Europe is now reborn! 》
Brandon. Jennings - The Successor to the Answer
"Best Rookie Has Been Born? 》
……
The Bucks' No. 6 rookie, who scored 55 points in a single game, became the focus of major sports media. www.biquge.info Some people have even concluded that the 19-year-old, who is currently averaging 24 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game, will be the only candidate for this year's best rookie in the league.
The praise that came to Jennings made Jennings somewhat carried away. In an interview with reporters, he even vowed that he would definitely surpass the results achieved by the rookies of the previous year.
Who was the last rookie? Undoubtedly, of course, it is the Chinese youngster of the Knicks.
Given the upcoming regular season between the two teams, it can be understood that Jennings challenged Chinese player Sun Yi through the media. The uncrowned kings of good deeds really tried their best to attract the attention of the fans.
Jennings was not eligible for a scholarship to an American university after graduating from high school because of his poor studies, so he could only go to the European league for a year to train and wait for the NBA draft next year.
The vacancy in the Bucks' No. 6 rookie college basketball career did not affect the media to create a buzz for the encounter between the two hopefuls. They all found out the results of the two in high school to compare, Jennings and Sun Yi both set their respective school all-time team records, points, assists, and steals.
Judging by the data of the two, it is difficult to distinguish who is strong and who is weak. The rematch between Timothy and Oak Hill became a very valuable reference.
What makes many media who are optimistic about the Bucks' rookies depressed is that in that game that represented the highest level of high school basketball, the Chinese guys of the Knicks can be said to have single-handedly defeated the star-studded American basketball school Oak Hill High School.
Of course, at that time, Sun Yi, who was mainly a scoring guard, did not have many shots of going head-to-head with Jennings. This also gives those uncrowned kings more room for imagination.
……
On November 8, the Knicks, who defeated the Chicago Bulls, flew directly to Milwaukee after the game to prepare for back-to-back games on the second day.
By the time they arrived in Milwaukee, it was already one o'clock in the morning on the 9th. Many reporters who rushed to the airport in advance conveyed Jennings's war letter to the Chinese guys as intact.
Looking at the reporters with tired and expectant faces, Sun Yi felt that if he didn't say a few words they wanted to hear, he would be really sorry for these guys who were still here in the middle of the night. It's not that the relationship between the Chinese guy and the media is good, he is really a little angry with Jennings's arrogance.
"Brandon is a fantastic player, but we came to Milwaukee to win."
"Are you sure you can beat the player you're playing against tonight?"
"I don't think it's a big problem if the team needs it."
"Is this strong confidence because of your high school encounters?"
"No, no, no, it's been so long since that game that there's no point in talking about it now. My confidence comes from the support of my teammates. And the Bucks also have a lot of great players. For example, Michael. Reid, Andrew. Bogut waited. ”
……
By the time the Knicks arrived in Milwaukee, most of the players of the Golden State Warriors, who lost the game tonight, had fallen asleep. Curry was tossing and turning in bed.
He had performed well in the previous few games and had already established his main position, but for some reason he was suddenly removed from the starting list by the head coach today.
Curry, who was sitting on the bench, could only watch Jennings, who was only one pick higher than him, beat teammate Ellis in the game. Despite his limited playing time, Curry scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting. It's a pity that Jennings is in too good shape today, and his defense is average, and he can't stop the opponent's play.
Today's changes to the Warriors' starting lineup are entirely the result of several star players on the team joining forces to press head coach Nelson Sr. into the palace.
Stephen. Jackson and Corey. Magetti, the two veterans with one year remaining on their contracts, will need plenty of opportunities to prove that they are still good enough to scrape enough data for the final big contract of their respective careers.
Monta, who has been with the team for five seasons. Ellis, who just saw the hope of becoming the tactical core of the team this year, didn't expect the old Nelson to value a rookie so much. Ellis, who felt the crisis, naturally came together with two like-minded teammates.
Faced with the pressure of the absolute main force of the three teams, the old Nelson, who had already been fired by a player once, chose to temporarily back down this time.
In the 94-95 season, the elder Nelson, who also coached with the Golden State Warriors, was fired by the team in the middle of the season because he did not deal with the confrontation between new and old players in the team. At that time, the young players led by Sprewell, because of the tactical position problem, with Chris . Mullin, Tim. Hardaway and a group of veteran Warriors players made the whole team jump and became the laughing stock of the whole league.
This time, although the elder Nelson chose to back down, at this time, he was in a relationship with the team's general manager, Chris Brown. Mullin discussed the team's purge plan over the phone.
It is obviously not in the team's interest to send away three troublemakers at once. After all, the abilities of these people are still good. Well, the perverse personality has repeatedly contradicted the coach's 'captain' Stephen. Jackson became the first target of the operation.
……
The game between the Bucks and the Knicks, although there have been countless gimmicks hyped by the media, the strength of the two teams is no longer at the same level, especially in the Bucks' top scorer Michael. Reid is out due to injury.
The Bradley Center Arena, which can accommodate more than 18,000 spectators, is home to rookie Brandon Brownon Arena. Jennings' amazing performance since the start of the game, and the attendance tonight looks good, which also makes the only championship flag over the stadium finally no longer lonely.
As is customary, let's start with the starting line-ups of both sides.
Bucks: Jennings, Charlie. Bell, Carlos. Delfino, Hakim. Rivak, Andrew. Bogut.
Knicks: Sun Yi, Afralo, Chandler, David. Lee, McDyce.
The Bucks' tactics this season are somewhat similar to that of the Magic, another powerhouse in the East. A group of outside shooters created shooting opportunities by running off the ball, and Bogut, the '05 Australian No. 1 pick, rushed to grab rebounds inside.
The same tactics, with different players, the results are of course not the same. Possession of Howard, Grant. Hill, Vince. Carter's Orlando Magic are currently 5-1, while the Bucks are only 2-4.
After the game began, the home team did feel a little scary when they came up, and they actually hit seven three-pointers in the first quarter.
However, those goals had nothing to do with Jennings, who threw his battle book in front of the media before the game. When he actually stood on the court and played against the Chinese guy with long hair, the Bucks rookie realized how ridiculous his challenge was.
As long as the other party opens his arms, he will have a feeling of covering the sky and the sun. Trying to get rid of his opponent with speed, that guy caught up with him in just two steps when he was half a body behind, what a terrifying explosive power. The contrast in strength between the two is even more suspenseful. Although Sun Yi is strong and strong, Jennings, who weighs only 78 kilograms, can't withstand any physical contact at all.
Relying on the extraordinary performance of the outside players, the home team temporarily led by one point at 28-27 at the end of the first quarter.
The battle of super newcomers, which has been followed by countless media, presents a one-sided situation. Jennings played 9 minutes and made 0 of 4 shots, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers. Sun Yi also played 9 minutes, scoring 8 points on 3-of-5 shooting, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
This is completely overwhelming, and many American journalists who support the homegrown rising star can only pray that a miracle will happen in the rest of the game.
The Knicks, who have an advantage in all physical qualities, can unscrupulously use aggressive close defense in the game, so that the opponent can't find any opportunity to shoot at all. Moreover, in the process of stumbling, if you are not careful, you will be cut off by the opponent's pair of long arms.
In the following games, the popular rookie who scored 55 points alone last time did not give up his efforts, and he continued to try long shots on the perimeter. In addition to the two extremely difficult long-range three-pointers in Mongolia, the No. 6 rookie of the Bucks generously sent the Chinese guy multiple blocks to the data.
As the home team's three-point shooting dropped and returned to normal, the scores of both teams began to reverse.
Fortunately, Bogut grabbed offensive rebounds and hit two shots on the inside many times, otherwise the game would have lost suspense before the second half started.
62 to 47!
The visitors are already leading by as many as 15 points. Chinese player Sun Yi, who scored 34 points at halftime, with the unreserved support of his teammates, hopes to hit a new career high in points. And his opponent, only a pitiful 6 points were on the score.
The duel between the two was decided early. The only thing to watch in this game is the statistics of what the Knicks' number one star can cut.
Some fans who braved the cold Wisconsin winter night winds chose to leave the stadium at halftime. They didn't want to watch the disappointing game any longer, and at least they would leave the stadium without a traffic jam.
The development of the subsequent game is indeed as everyone expected. With just five minutes to play in the fourth quarter, the visitors, who led by 24 points, replaced all their starters and the game officially went into garbage time.
The Chinese teenager, who has scored 58 points, did not choose to stay on the court and continue to hit the personal scoring record, but chatted happily with his teammates on the bench.
"Wow, nice breakthrough, why didn't the game just come up."
Watching Jennings use his speed to get rid of Miller Sr. and get to the basket to pick up the basket, Chandler, who was sitting on the bench, said with a look of disdain.
"Hahaha, I guess tomorrow's media headline must be 'Genius Rising Star Form Comes Too Late, Unable to Return to the Sky After Falling Behind by a Big Score'"
David who doesn't joke easily. Li, one mouth is hilarious.
The Chinese guy sitting next to him just smiled slightly and didn't participate in the topic, his mind had already flown to Detroit, and the Knicks' fourth consecutive away opponent was the Pistons.
114 to 95!
With this easy victory, the New York Giants' record for the new season came to 4-3. Instead of staying in cold Milwaukee, they chose to fly directly to the Motor City of Detroit.
……
"The light of the Chinese sun eclipses the new star of the bucks!" 》
"A duel between geniuses, there is no mercy at all!" 》
Another meteor across the sky? 》
The media, which had been singing the praises of Jennings the day before, took a 360-degree turn in attitude and opinion after just one game.
No one was talking about the league's Rookie of the Year and the answer's successor, and they began to question Jennings' option to play in the Euroleague.
Sun Yi, who completed the training task, turned off these boring articles. He turned down invitations from his teammates to a local nightclub and stayed in his room to watch the next game from his opponent.
The Detroit Pistons let go of Roaring Timson Rashid this summer. After Wallace, he signed two big men in the free market in a row. Villanueva and Ben. Gordon is at the peak of his respective careers. The return of Big Ben Wallace has made the team's dressing room more stable.
On paper, the ability of this Pistons player in the entire East can definitely easily rank in the top five. But the new handsome John. Kuster will need more time to fine-tune the team's tactical system, which hasn't changed for years.
On November 11, the day known as 'Singles' Day on the other side of the ocean, Auburn Hills Palace Stadium was filled with the home team's fans as usual. Before the game started, the atmosphere in the stadium began to be enthusiastic.
The Pistons fielded their strongest lineup, Starkey, Hamilton, Prince, Villanueva, Ben. Wallace. Also sitting on the bench was Will. Bynum, Ben. Gordon, Jonas. Jerebko, Jason. Mark Hill and a number of other strong role players.
There was a slight change to the visiting Knicks' starting line-up for this game, with the tall and agile Serbian Milicic as the team's power forward against Villanueva, who likes to cruise on the outside.
The New York giants, who have just beaten the Bucks on the road, seem to give the players a sense of absent-mindedness because of the continuous road games.
This abnormal performance made the head coach D'Antoni see that there was nothing to do.
The Knicks, who almost single-handedly bit the score with the Chinese teenager, finally showed defeat in the third quarter. The rotation lineup, which has been very effective before, has no power to fight back under the onslaught of the home team's elite soldiers.
96 to 88!
Veranieva, the Pistons power forward that the Knicks coaching staff focused on before the game, played 34 minutes and cut 30 points and 7 rebounds on 13-of-17 shooting, playing the best game since joining the new club.
Although the Chinese teenager Sun Yi still scored a game-high 34 points under the close monitoring of the opponent, the team's overall sluggish state still failed to let the Knicks take away a victory from Motor City. (To be continued.) )
