Chapter 87: Killing

What Chen Shu lacks now is consistent performance, because even if Chen Shu is playing well now, most people think that this is just a flash in the pan, and such examples have often happened before, such as Brandon Jennings, the No. 10 rookie in the first round of the 09 class, scored a quasi-triple-double of 17 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in his debut, and then scored a career-high 55 points, including 29 points in the third quarter. With this game, Jennings set a number of records: becoming the youngest rookie in NBA history to score more than 50 points, the rookie with the most points in a single quarter in NBA history (29 points), and the rookie with the most points in a single game in Bucks history.

But as the seasons passed, Jennings didn't live up to his talent, his scoring was not high, and his shooting percentage continued to decline, which surprised many people who previously thought Jennings would become a superstar in the league.

So although Chen Shu's data is strong, but don't think about it, this kind of performance will not last long, and Chen Shu also knows this, because the next two games are the biggest test for Chen Shu, and they will face the strong Western rivals Thunder and Mavericks back-to-back. With the current strength of the Suns, it will be difficult to defeat the Thunder and Mavericks.

Although the match against the Thunder and Mavericks is bad news for Chen Shu, the good news is not without it, after the Sina interview was issued, under the wonderful performance and media hype, Chen Shu's high popularity has risen to a new level. Chen Shu's No. 2 Sun jersey is almost out of stock all over the country, and many pirate merchants are frantically rushing to make jerseys, taking the opportunity to make a lot of money.

In China, Chen Shuyao led all basketball stars in January's jersey sales list, including James, Kobe Bryant and others.

Through Chen Shu's expression, fans are distressed and admired, distressed that he received unfair treatment when he first arrived in the United States, and admired him for maintaining his love for basketball in this harsh environment, and working hard for it, and playing his own piece of the sky, and the limit of this sky is far from coming.

Recently, Smith told Chen Shu that waiting for the media publicity to be completely fermented, it will take another day to prepare, and Anta will organize a sneaker signing meeting. The business department of Anta is very excited, and the signing of Chen Shu before is also a gamble, and they have no bottom in their hearts about whether Chen Shu can make a name for himself in the NBA, but they are lucky, and if the bet is right, then it means a rich return. They have also been promoting Chen Shu's wonderful performance, and released the news that Chen Shu's exclusive sneakers will be launched soon, attracting the attention of fans, this time to confirm the time of the signing with Chen Shu, obviously Anta can't wait to eat meat.

Chen Shu finally learned that the life of an NBA player is not only basketball, but also full of endorsements, interviews, news, and so on. And it just so happened that Chen Shu caught up with joining the NBA in the shrinking season, which means that Chen Shu has less personal time.

In Chen Shu's view, although the league's propaganda has brought him a lot of fans, it has also made him the target of public criticism, and many experts will write articles to attack Chen Shu and attack the Suns. There are also many teams that will give him special treatment on the defensive end, and many NBA players also want to beat themselves and then stomp hard to prove that basketball is not a yellow sport.

With Chen Shu's current energy, there is no way to achieve perfection, but he can't manage so much. All he can do is prepare, stay in shape, and take on the next challenge! But the next thing surprised Chen Shu.

ESPN's Nick Fredale, a journalist who has previously belittled Chen, published an article titled "Asian Point Guards Will Rule the League" after the Suns won four in a row.

The article wrote that Chen Shu came to the Suns as an undrafted pick and helped the weaker team to four straight wins, and three of those games were when Nash was injured. The Suns have established a tactical system with Chen Shu as the core, and Chen Shu is likely to be the cornerstone of the Suns team in the future.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the above, but the meaning of the following statement in the article is confusing. The article also said that Chen Shu will be the best point guard in the league, and no one has been able to stop Chen Shu yet, and he may continue to perform like this, defeating the next opponents one after another, so that the league will become an era of Asian domination.

When Chen Shu first started reading this article, he was still thinking, is this Nick Fredale really conquered by his performance? But after reading the back, Chen Shu realized that this guy's intentions were sinister. I have a few pounds and a few taels, and Chen Shu is still very clear in his heart that with his advanced skills, he can play an A-level evaluation when he only has a C+ evaluation, but there are still many weak links.

The most important thing is that although Chen Shu has indeed led the Suns to 4 consecutive victories, the opponents are the Knicks, Cavaliers, Raptors, and Trail Blazers. But the article only mentions that the Suns have won 4 in a row, but it doesn't say that the opponent is weak.

He also said that Chen Shu would become the first point guard and rule the league, but now no one except Chen Shu himself would believe that he could rule the league. Obviously, this is the killing of Chen Shu, this is to make enemies for Chen Shu and the Suns, every team will fight to the death when they encounter the Suns in the future, and every player with a little strength will show 120% of their strength when they meet Chen Shu.

You must know that powerful players are not accepted by anyone, not to mention that they are now said by the media to be inferior to an Asian rookie, which is unbearable for anyone. Facing the Thunder next, Chen Shu seemed to be able to see Westbrook's angry eyes. With such a strong performance of the Thunder Ershao, there is no need to think that there must be S-level among these two people, and the lowest is also A-level. If you have great defensive skills again, then don't play the game against the Thunder.

Chen Shu secretly scolded in his heart, this ESPN reporter is really insidious, dealing with a rookie with such means. Open this comment area, Nima, the American fans who have finally accumulated, except for the die-hard fans of the Suns, have defected.

The comment is basically one-sided: "China's Chen has really exploded recently, and I am about to be a fan, but being blown like this is simply an insult to our IQ, and I will be black for the rest of my life"

"The alliance is too shameless, and it is also fighting for the Asian market"

"I can't wait to see Westbrook crush this pesky Asian American"

"The yellow-skinned monkey still wants to dominate the NBA, so let's show our skills"

。。。。。。

Holding back his anger, Chen Shu closed the news page, it seems that there is still a long way to go to conquer American fans, the prejudice against Asian Americans in the United States cannot be changed in a short time, Chen Shu secretly vowed to conquer this group of self-righteous racists.
