0132: [Sell to Nike]

As Ologkandi was ruthlessly teased in the game, and did not contribute on the offensive end, it only became more laughable.

The Celtic counterattack plan was extinguished.

Moreover, they couldn't stop Bruce Lee on the perimeter, although Bruce Lee didn't show any offensive ability tonight. However, his passing has helped Eddie Griffin take off.

Before the game entered the fourth quarter, the Celtics asked for a timeout to declare garbage time.

The 27-point margin discouraged them from fighting back, as it was only summer league, after all.

When Bruce returned to the bench, the stats displayed on the big screen on the court were 5 points, 18 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

Against him, Lagalondo had 14 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block and 5 turnovers.

Regardless of wins and losses, Lagalondo's stats are relatively balanced and pretty.

That's why when it comes to garbage time, Earl Johnson is still hard-mouthed: "La Galarondo has a brighter future!" ”

Kenny Smith, however, disagreed. "I'm not a Lakers fan though, and I've been playing against Los Angeles all my career. But I don't mind, I'll tell you bluntly. Although the new generation of point guards selected by the Green Army is very good, the No. 3 pick of the Purple and Gold Army is stronger. He's a better fit for the Lakers, and he'll be the best point guard Kobe Bryant has ever partnered with. ”

Phew!

Earl Johnson almost spat out, and he sarcastically said, "Does Bryant need a point guard?" No, he doesn't need to. All he needs is a pitcher who can pick up his pass and hit it when he can't do anything. But tonight, Bruce didn't show a hint of offensive instinct, shooting 2-of-7, and his poor confrontation ability made his shot extremely inconsistent and very easily interfered! ”

Kenny Smith, perhaps hearing the Black Mamba in front of the TV, argued, "It's a question that can't be discussed right now, like you can't tell if the egg came first or the chicken came first." Because Bryant has never been paired with a top point guard, the point guard who appears next to him is either Smash Parker or Derrick Fisher. ”

Then, the question goes back to the beginning: "You actually think Bruce is a top defender?" Just because he played a good game in the Summer League? Don't forget that he was also knocked to the ground 3 times this night. ”

"How many players play well in Summer League every year, how many of them play? What's more, is Bruce really that good tonight? It's just that he happened to run into Eddie Griffin, who broke out, and brushed up on beautiful assist statistics. ”

Earl Johnson is simply magical.

Kobe Bryant in front of the TV scolded and turned off the TV.

And when he turned off the TV, Bruce's face appeared on the TV, and he was pale without a trace of blood. The mouth was breathing heavily, and the sweat was flowing non-stop.

At first glance, it is physically exhausted.

Bruce played a full three quarters in this game, although some of his fitness came from Kwame Brown. But quantitatively speaking, it's only 44 points after all, and it's a bit not enough to play NCAA, let alone play NBA Summer League.

This gave Earl Johnson a new narrative: "Look, Bruce's fitness reserves are terrible, and he actually played three quarters to be like this." If Celtic organize a counter-attack at this time, will he still be able to play? ”

Boston didn't fight back because they didn't know Bruce's fitness.

And when the game was over, Bruce suddenly stumbled to prove his fitness to the national audience. If it weren't for Eddie Griffin's quick hand to grab him, he would have even fallen to the floor.

He rubbed his thighs before standing upright.

Li Zhen didn't expect the intensity of the game to be so huge, and he actually had thigh cramps.

He was then helped off the pitch by the team doctor and then into the physiotherapy room for rehabilitation.

For this reason, the Lakers pushed off the reporter interview session.

But that didn't stop the media from reporting enthusiastically, and the next morning, almost all of the basketball media wrote: Xinke No. 3 showed that his fitness was worrisome, and he left the court with cramps in less than three quarters. With such physical fitness, how can you play in the NBA?

In addition, ridicule such as 'No. 3 shows laughing at Las Vegas, facing the Green Army and falling down 3 times' are also endlessly ridiculed by the media.

From the report, readers didn't even know that the Lakers would win the game and that Bruce had a summer-high 18 assists so far.

Partiality reporting has reached its extreme.

Even in Los Angeles, the media emphasized Eddie Griffin's credit, after all, he scored 38 points in a single game, making him the highest scorer in the game.

Interestingly, though.

In his post-match interview, Lagalondo went along with his heart, despite the reporter's efforts to persuade him to say things like, 'That's the No. 3 show': "He's great. His control of the tempo of the game is top notch and his passing ability is also very good. ”

"And, in this game, I could clearly feel his progress. He was in much better shape in the third quarter than he was in the first. ”

"Although, I still don't think he deserves the third pick. However, he is a good point guard. ”

His statement was not fully covered by the media. It's just a matter of publicizing the phrase 'Lagalondo thinks Bruce doesn't deserve the third pick'.

Such a bad public opinion environment made Bill Duffy quite angry, and he even wanted to sue one or two media outlets as a typical example.

But Li Zhen stopped him from doing this, and he was very indifferent to it: his mouth grew on others, let them say it. Moreover, I am confident in myself that in three years, when I look at today's newspaper, everything will be a good memory.

Bill Duffy clearly couldn't understand Lee's confidence. Although this game showed a lot of advantages, there were also many shortcomings exposed, confrontation and physical fitness, which can be directly related to playing time.

"According to me, you just sell your sneaker brand to Nike. They came to me again and said that they were willing to spend $20 million to buy 80% of your shares, and then operate the whole business. You enjoy 20 percent dry shares, which is frankly a very good offer. ”

Bill Duffy persuaded again: "With Nike to help you publicize, you will definitely not be in the situation where you are being crusaded by everyone now." ”

However, Li Zhen still shook his head. It's too low.

With the album selling well, he is no longer short of money. He could participate in Facebook's investment in October.

At this time, there was another interesting news coming out of Los Angeles.
