Chapter VIII Comprehensive Display
"Do you think you're playing the All-Star Game?" Gerard Green looked at George with angry eyes, he was very unhappy with the Shammgod that George had just had.
Green has to overpower George in terms of height and momentum, in terms of identity, the two are not equal, Green has played in the NBA after all, and George has not entered the NBA, especially when Green walked towards George, George clearly saw his severed finger for the first time, from George's suddenly hideous face, you can know that people have no fingers, which is more terrifying than having fingers.
Gerald Green said to George, "Do you think it was cool just like that?" Do you think you'll get a contract from the manager for that performance? You're really stupid, no wonder you didn't make the cut, I'm not in a much better place than you now, but I've had more experience than you, and I bet you won't make it to the NBA after this Summer League. ”
[Green is spewing trash talk, haha, the anchor fights with him! ] We're rooting you on another planet! 】
[Yes, yes, we support you spiritually!] 】
Green was angry, and Stephen A's face was surprised and even embarrassed, because half an hour earlier he had been bragging to his old friend Mitch about how pure the summer league was, but as soon as he came over, he saw such a dazzling performance.
No one wouldn't want to see a gorgeous show, but here, the occasion is not right.
As Mitch said, most of the people who play in the summer league are poor guys, and you're good at dunking? Are you good at dribbling? Are you fast? OK, OK, we all know, we already know, is there anything else?
There are no champions in the summer league, there is no MVP, everything here is just to scout the players, and as a scouted player who doesn't know what the future holds, generally speaking, I am not in the mood to show these things.
Actually, George didn't want to show here either, he didn't show it to the team manager or the opponent, he showed it to the people in the live broadcast room.
"Mitch, don't you think that guy is in a weird state? If you were an invited member of the Little Green House and ended up losing the draft, would you be as excited as that guy in the Summer League? He didn't look like a draft pick at all, but like a top pick. After Stephen A was slapped in the face, he tried to attribute the problem to George's personal fantasy.
Mitch thinks what Stephen A said is very reasonable, a little green house lost the draft, and it was too late to be embarrassed on the court, how could he excitedly dance the dance steps of "change of direction", "crotch" and "Shammgod"?
At this time, both of them also began to pay more attention to George as a player.
On the court, after Gerard Green was almost shaken down, he was bent on getting back on the court, and singled into the basket to dunk one, this kind of outrageous dunk, if George or Jeremy Lin did it, may be amazed by the team manager and signed with the NBA team, but for Green, who has long been famous for dunking, it will not help him return to the NBA.
In the history of the NBA, all players who have been labeled as "dunking" want to get rid of this label, and Green is no exception, he took the initiative to ask for a single defense against George after that, wanting to beat George with defense and make up for previous mistakes.
George knew that in the next period of time, Green would work very hard to defend himself, and he didn't go head-to-head with him, George didn't have the top one-on-one scoring ability, so he began to connect with teammates and send assists to help teammates score.
Green was a little anxious to defend, and tried to reach out to break George's ball, but ball control is George's strength, let alone Green, even if it was Chris Paul, the league's steal king last season, he didn't want to steal the ball in George's hand easily.
After watching it for a few minutes, Stephen A looked at George on the court and said secretly: "This kid is okay with the ball, his mentality is also very stable, he is a point guard who can control the overall situation, and after clashing with the dunk king in the first minute and being targeted, he didn't score points without his own strength." And Gerard Green didn't really want to steal just now, Green's real purpose was actually to push him to make a mistake on the dribble or pass, but this guy didn't make a single mistake. ”
Being able to control the situation steadily under this kind of pressing defense and handle every pass, Stephen A is quite recognizable to George's ability to control the ball.
But soon, he also saw George's inadequate.
On the defensive end, in the case of his teammates leaking, George quickly made up for the Lakers' Frank Robinson, and after he chased over, he was not deceived by the opponent's shooting feints, but Frank still accelerated past George!
After that, Gerald Green found an opportunity to play George alone, and Green kept fighting with George by playing, but George couldn't resist and was easily scored by him.
Stephen A also roughly understands George's defensive weakness: "His defensive awareness is not bad, but his single defense ability is too poor, his height, if he is pulled to defend Kobe, it is estimated that Kobe Bryant will score 100 points in a single game." ”
George is a yellow player who is not so physically gifted, and Jeremy Lin, who is about to be replaced, belongs to the category of good physical condition, his speed is on par with the champion John Wall, and he is strong enough, after he came on the court, he showed a completely different style of play from George.
Jeremy Lin constantly uses his speed to impact opponents and score under the basket, and every offense is very pure and serious.
After Jeremy Lin scored 4 points in a row, Mitch was surprised: "How can there be another great 'Asian player'!" He should also be a draft loser, Stephen, this guy and Mike George just now, who do you think can get into the NBA? ”
Stephen A thought for a while, pointed to Jeremy Lin on the court, and said: "The probability of this guy on the court may be a little bigger, he is fast, very explosive, and not afraid of physical confrontation under the basket, he can adapt to the intensity of the NBA, as long as he can average more than a dozen points per game in the summer league and perform unexpectedly, he can be signed by the team." ”
Mitch asked, "You mean, Lin averaged a dozen points per game in summer league to make it to the NBA, and Mike George averaged a dozen points per game but didn't necessarily make it, right?" ”
"Nope." Stephen A denied Mickey's statement, and after three seconds of silence, he added: "Even if you get more points than a dozen points, you may not be able to score." ”
The pace of the game was very fast, and the scores of the two sides were also stalemate, after George played again in the second quarter, the audience in the live broadcast room began to take the initiative to ask George to score, and now the number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded 100 for the first time, and George also wants to get more tips, so he began to look for opportunities to score.
The defensive level of the summer league is still very average, George scored 4 points in a row, and on the third offense, the opponent hit George's wrist, and was still hit by George, and also caused a free throw.
It was this ball that made Stephen A. Smith notice George's reach.
"He's got a decent reach." Stephen A said that the ball just now, if it weren't for George's two slender arms, the opponent would not have hit his wrist, but the basketball in his hand.
The continuous scoring has made George receive more rewards, but most of them are 100 gold coins, and the growth rate of gold coins is very slow, and in the third quarter, there are barely 3,000 gold coins, which makes George feel a little anxious.
"The least amount of gold to exchange stars is tens of thousands of gold coins, and I will play a total of four games in the summer league, if this continues, I'm afraid that after the summer league is over, I can't exchange any player, what should I do?"
George began to feel anxious, if he could qualify for a star exchange in the summer league, then he would definitely be able to use the sudden change in physical talent to win the favor of NBA teams and get signed, if not, then entering the NBA would be hanging.
Seeing George's anxious look, Jeremy Lin asked, "Joe, how are you?" You seem to care a lot about winning this game, we have been deadlocked with the Lakers, maybe there will be overtime in this game. ”
"Overtime?" George's eyes lit up, and something suddenly came to mind.
