After the game, Chen Shu cut another 30+ as a rookie, and so far he is already the most popular player in this rookie.

Chen Shu has finally officially entered the field of vision of several major American sports media. Chen Shu played off the bench in all 7 games, playing an average of 16 minutes per game, scoring 18.8 points, 6 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.5 rebounds + 2.3 turnovers (rebounds were all picked up).

Such data has attracted the attention of the big sports media in the United States. The five major sports media in the United States, ESPN, SB Nation, Bleather Report (bleachers), Sports Illustrated, .

Two of the media outlets published a report detailing Chen Shu's current level, positioning, potential, and future development. The two outlets are ESPN and the bleachers.

With a large number of reporters and front-line media practitioners, ESPN has produced considerable output in video, text reports, radio programs, etc., and can provide first-hand information before and after the game and even in the offseason, as well as some more in-depth articles. However, for domestic users, it is more familiar with ESPN's unfair reviews and analysis articles, as well as some bizarre rankings.

ESPN's Nick Freddell said on ESPN's "The Jump" that "I recently had an Asian rookie player catch my eye and I went watch his game tape, you know? I really wanted to scold those coaches for not seeing the weaknesses of this guy and letting him do whatever he wanted on the outside. I was looking at the data, and I thought, wow, this guy is the yellow-skinned Paul. But when I watched his game, I realized I was wrong. I'm going to write an article about Chen Shu, haha, I'm thinking about being a head coach and the players After reading my article, can this Asian still survive in the NBA, you know the yellow race. Hehe, the NBA is black people's world. ”

Then Nick Freddell actually published an article about Chen's book titled "Did the Asian Point Guard Really Adapt to the NBA?"

In the article, Nick Fredale analyzes Chen Shu's ability in detail and compares it with the champion Owen. First of all, Chen Shu's physical talent was analyzed: in the NBA's point guard group, Chen Shu has medium height and arm span, inferior weight, medium and lower strength, inferior physical strength, medium speed, and no jumping.

Then there is the comparison of personal ability with Owen:

1. Inside scoring: Owen is infinitely larger than Chen Shu, and Chen Shu's inside scoring ability can be ignored.

2. Outside scoring: Irving is stronger than Irving. In fact, Chen Shu's outside ability is not as outstanding as it seems, just because the team players don't know Chen Shu's situation. Chen Shu's outside shooting speed is average, his jumping ability is simply scum, and he always pulls out jumpers on the outside, if the defender is experienced or the height and arm length bounce well, you can easily cover Chen Shu. Defending Chen Shu on the outside, he should let go of the burst and not let go, and he should be almost no threat inside the 3-point line. For example, being dropped by Kobe Bryant's hat before and almost being dropped by Ben Gordon's hat proves this.

3. Middle-distance scoring: Owen is stronger than Chen Shu, and Chen Shu's mid-range jumper is also a dry pull-out jumper, and he can't open up the shooting space without strength, and he is basically capped without bounce. Therefore, Chen Zhongzhong has a small distance threat, as can be seen from his mid-range scoring in these games.

4. Organize the offense: Chen Shu is basically the same as Owen. It can be seen that Chen Shu is still a bit level in organizing offense, but Irving is not a very good organizer, and in the league point guard group, Irving and Chen Shu's organizational offensive ability can only be regarded as middle and low.

5. Athleticism: Owen is far greater than Chen Shu, except for speed, there is almost no shot that can be taken.

6. Defending with the ball and defending without the ball: Irving is equal to Chen. In terms of interference shooting, Chen Shu is weaker than Irving; In terms of defensive breakthroughs, Chen Shu is stronger than Owen, not to wait, Chen Shu's defensive footsteps are good, a bit like Battier.

7. Basket protection and rebounding: Irving is far stronger than Chen Shu. Chen Shu's rebounding and rim protection ability, I think everyone can see it, is definitely the bottom of the league, so I won't go into details.

8. Ball control: Owen is stronger than Chen Shu.

9. Basketball IQ: Chen Shu is slightly stronger than Owen. It's just that Chen Shu is better than Irving, from Chen Shu's current level, he can get 18.8 points and 6 assists, which also shows that he is smart and has a strong ability to grasp the timing.

To sum up, the scouts and managers of the league are not fools, and the reason why Chen Shu lost the election is in the past, and now his performance is most likely due to the ignorance of his teammates. As the season progresses, Chen's weaknesses will slowly amplify. These highlights are likely to be short-lived, and he will become a model of high and low.

And so on and so forth. The article is full of articles, fully expounding Nick Fredale's disapproval of Chen Shu, if it weren't for the hype of various local media, he wouldn't have paid attention to Chen Shu.

The article was reprinted by the Cleveland Honest Reporter, who said, "Although this article is right, there is no need to compare our champion Irving." The honest people reported that they were down, because Chen Shu is currently averaging more points per game than Irving, which makes them very unhappy.

On the Tiger Fight Forum, domestic fans quit

"What kind of bullshit reporter is ESPN, avoid the important and light, first of all, Owen is the champion, Chen Shu was defeated, Owen still played twice as long as Chen Shu, but the data of the two are comparable, which does not show Chen Shu's strength."

"It's just about belittling Asians, it's discrimination, watching Chen Shu's game, I found that he is improving every game, and his offense, passing, rebounding, and steals are slowly improving."

"For Chen Shu at the moment, the bounce is indeed a little worse, but I think Chen Shu will definitely overcome it."

At the same time, the bleachers also published an article about Chen's book, titled "The Success of Asian Point Guards." The article also fully describes the various abilities of Chen Shu, which is not as objective as EsPN, but is actually a derogatory statement.

It is written in the article that Chen Shu has a strong ability to score from the outside, grasps the timing of his shots very well, and has a very high shooting rate from the outside. Chen Shu uses his 3-point ability to the extreme, has a high basketball IQ, uses his outside pulling ability to drive his teammates, and can always grasp the right time to assist his teammates. The turnover rate is lower among newcomers. There is no problem with establishing himself in the NBA at the moment, and if he can continue to improve his physical fitness, polish his breakthrough and offensive ability under the basket. Then the sky is his limit.

Chen Shu also saw these two reports under the reminder of his agent Smith, and saw the article in the open-air stands, Chen Shu still sighed that his efforts were not in vain, and finally the big media recognized him.

After seeing ESPN's article, the angry Chen Shu almost dropped his phone. However, if you look at it carefully, although the article has a derogatory element, the analysis of his ability is quite accurate. If thoroughly studied by the team, the 3-point ability that he now relies on to survive will not be so prominent.

There are a lot of things that plague Chen Shu now, one is physical strength, which limits the playing time, but it is enough at present, even if the physical strength is good, it can't grab Rose, and the other is the bounce, with the current dry pull jump height, it is indeed easy to be capped, fortunately, the timing was good before, and I didn't encounter too strong defenders. The third is the scoring ability of the inside, of course, the bounce also affects the scoring ability of the inside.

Relative to physical strength, the most urgent thing right now is bouncing. Thinking that all the 6 attributes obtained in the last game were added to the bounce, the bounce value has risen from 57 points at the beginning of the NBA to 68 points now, although it is not high, but with the suddenness of the dry pull-out jumper, plus the bounce of the medium level, even if it encounters targeted defense, it will not be easily covered. This time, the weakness was exposed, which filled Chen Shu with a sense of urgency.

"Next time you meet the Cavaliers, you're going to have a good fight with Irving and shut up this damn ESPN reporter." Chen Shu thought secretly.
