NBA preseason, Lakers VS Clippers, the Lakers are 14 points behind, on the bench, the atmosphere is a bit solemn, and no one dares to talk and laugh.

Chen Yu sat straight on the bench, his eyes looking at the court, looking forward and worried in his heart, and many emotions were constantly intertwined.

Chen Yu, born in 91, is now 21 years old, 191CM tall, mainly playing point guard, and occasionally can make cameo appearances as point guard.

In June, the Los Angeles Lakers drafted him with the 56th pick in the second round.

Chen Yu entered the NBA directly from CUBA, and after Yao Ming retired from the UAE, there were no more Chinese in the NBA. Therefore, when Chen Yu was born, Chinese fans were full of longing for him, Chen Yu's various resumes were ripped off, and many people's expectations for him were to be able to enter the Lakers' rotation, contributing an average of 10 points per game, 4 or 5 assists.

However, the reality is harsh.

Yao Ming averaged 41 points and 21 rebounds per game in the finals in the CBA season before entering the NBA, so that non-human data can become an All-Star in the NBA. Yi Jianlian's CBA season also averaged 25 points and 11 rebounds per game...... In other words, it is only possible to make a difference in the NBA if the CBA has overwhelming dominance.

Before Chen Yu entered the NBA, he only averaged 20 points and 6 assists per game in CUBA, and he had never played in the CBA...... However, all of this is hidden after actually encountering NBA-level opponents!

In several summer league games with the Lakers, Chen Yu's speed was ineffective when he met the blacks, he couldn't break through, he was stealed after dribbling the ball over the half, and his decent shooting was also seriously deformed after the enhanced physical confrontation.

As a result, Chen Yu averaged 11 minutes per game and scored 2.1 points and 0.7 assists with a dismal shooting rate of 23.5%......

It's an embarrassing statistic.

Fans went from fanatical anticipation to disappointment, and the huge sense of gap made the "Asian Hope" that they were shouting about before become the current "soft egg" and "Big Luther".

On the forum, there are bad comments about Chen Yu one after another.

"Looking at it now, the Lakers selected Chen Yu just because of the Chinese market...... However, what market can Chen Yu talk about if he is like such a bear? The Lakers really don't know what to think. ”

"To be honest, it is not easy for Chen Yu to enter the NBA to play, this data is also reasonable, if it is our inside player, you can also rely on height, feel, and technique to eat, but an outside player like Chen Yu, physical fitness and others cannot be compared, and the skill is just like that, how can there be room for survival in the NBA?"

"Although I am very disappointed, I have to say that it is basically impossible for Chinese guards to enter the NBA...... Chen Yu should return to China honestly, don't toss around! ”

At the basketball forum, there was a wail, and some media also fell into the ground, making the name Chen Yu a laughing stock.

Now Chen Yu has never signed a formal contract with the Lakers, and everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before he is cut.

After a losing summer league, it came to the preseason.

In the preseason, the Lakers, who had high hopes this year, were beaten to a sparse score, losing all five games, and Chen Yu's fate was also in turmoil, only playing for a while in the garbage time of the third game, and as a result, he lost all 2 shots, and should have lost all opportunities.

This is the sixth game of the Lakers' preseason, and although the Clippers did not play Paul, the Clippers still lead the Lakers by 14 points in the middle of the fourth quarter.

It was a game that made both Chinese fans and Lakers fans look bad, and it was also a game that made Chen Yu feel bad.

As a client, Chen Yu has also experienced the experience of life peaks and troughs these days.

He entered the NBA draft with a broken mentality, Chen Yu at that time had not really experienced NBA-level confrontation, and after being selected by the Lakers, he had a chopping attitude and was full of enthusiasm for everything.

In the past, Chen Yu always felt that it was just playing? His physical fitness in China is definitely the top level, and he is also at the level of killing all sides in the CUBA league, and he also has a very good three-point shot, I believe that he will definitely have his own place in the NBA......

As a result, I really found that the physical fitness I was proud of was at the middle and lower level among a group of blacks, and my shooting was okay with one hand, but because of the fierce physical confrontation, it became of no level. The offense can't be opened, and there is no tactical arrangement, so there is no way to talk about the organizational ability as a point guard.

Chen Yu plans to take his time, slowly adapt to these confrontations by gaining weight and training, but his money is almost gone!

Chen Yu is an ordinary worker family, his father is more open-minded, and in order to support him to pursue his dream in the United States, he took out all the family's savings of 100,000 yuan.

But Chen Yu is not familiar with life here, in order to adapt to the confrontation, the money he has recently spent on training and giving trainers has basically emptied his family, not to mention, he also spent money to find an assistant and translator in the United States.

100,000 yuan, which is almost more than 10,000 dollars this year, plus the amount of the unguaranteed contract of less than 10,000 dollars that the Lakers gave him, will soon be spent.

After the money was spent, Chen Yu had only one way to return to China.

...... "Ahead, is there really no road?" ”

Chen Yu's eyes were a little confused, he looked at the basketball court, the Lakers' yellow jersey and the Clippers' white jersey flashed together, and the players collided muscles, sweat splashed, and fought for one big contract after another.

Behind them are the fans of Los Angeles, their voices are surging, like the sea, and they don't listen to the shouts for the stars in their hearts.

Looking up, the sky above Staples was pitch black behind a flash of light, and the vast ink color pressed from the sky to the ground.

Chen Yu can also imagine that the fans of basketball forums such as Lion Pounce will humiliate him with words like self-indulgence.

At this moment when thoughts were flying, McBrown's words suddenly rang out: "Number 18, you go!" Swap out Darius! ”

Chen Yu is the 18th, and McBrown obviously hasn't remembered Chen Yu's name yet, so he can only use the number instead, but this means that Chen Yu is about to play.

Although Chen Yu's English still needs to be improved slowly, he understands this sentence very easily.

A few months ago, when he got the opportunity to play, Chen Yu would be excited and bloodthirsty.

Now, hearing this, he was in a somewhat complicated mood, and he wanted to fight hard, but he was worried that he was just going to give away his head.

Still, he nodded his head, tucked his shirt into his pants, and placed a towel on his seat.

This is not only because of the quality of professional footballers, but also because they cannot lose the last measure.

You can lose, you can be suppressed, you can be unknown, but if even your blood is lost, then what's the point of your trip to the United States?

Of course, blood is blood, and Chen Yu also knows that today's self is likely to miss a few shots and end miserably.

At this moment, Chen Yu's head shook, as if a mass of air was suddenly expanding in his mind. Then, he had an extra system in his head.

This thing came out of nowhere, I don't know when it lurked in my body, and I don't know what method it used to enter Chen Yu's consciousness, but Chen Yu instantly understood what this was, and he had also read online novels over the years, so this understanding was even stronger.

It's a system, it doesn't have a name, Chen Yu plans to call it a basketball system, it doesn't seem to have any feelings, it's just a pure computer program.

Of course, these may not be so important, the most important thing is that when Chen Yu understood the function of this basketball system, he suddenly realized that he had ushered in the most precious opportunity!
