CHAPTER 443: OVERHEAT (1)
“…… What? ”
When Blakes' face reappeared on the screen, not only the Kings players, but all the fans around the world were shocked.
What's going on? Why is Blakes coming out again?
Isn't "Sports Science" always a host who appears at the beginning and end of the film, and then everything in the middle is the players' personal highlights, as well as some experimental footage in the sports lab?
Blakes's voice usually only exists as a commentary voice, so there's no reason why it will appear in the middle of the show!
What's going on here? Why is there such a strange phenomenon happening?
"If we talk about cousin Gu Yu's shooting speed, we have tested the limit of the shooting speed of NBA players. Another player who has reached a similar level of speed may surprise you. ”
Blakes put on a standard professional smile, looked at the camera, and said with his classic finger-to-finger gesture: "Gu's shooting speed is so fast, I believe that all fans who follow the NBA should be able to see the clues from the overwhelming video highlights and live broadcasts of the game." But another player is not so well-known for the time being. ”
As soon as the screen turned, and Blakes disappeared, the door to the preparation room was pushed open.
"Next time, don't be angry, okay??"
"Hmph~Regardless~"
"Uh...... Would you like to have dinner in the evening? ”
"Hmph~Not rare~"
"Well, then I'll eat a nutritious meal, you can eat it yourself, for nothing."
“…… Eh, eh, why are you like this! You big bad ...... Well...... What else are you guys looking at? ”
Gu Yu and Xiao Yu walked in all the way "flirting and scolding", and they were also a little surprised to see that the players were still around the TV, Xiao Yu frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?" Got breaking news? Trade transfers? Who is it? Big Names? ”
"Nope."
Evans shook his head, a look of surprise on his face, and pointed to the screen, "We're watching Sports Science." ”
“…… It's not over yet?? ”
Gu Yu was also a little curious, and frowned and felt that things were not simple.
You must know that the reason why the program "Sports Science" can get such a high audience is because their program videos are short and concise in each episode, basically within five minutes, and sometimes even only two or three minutes.
Short videos of this length are undoubtedly the most popular and sought after in this increasingly developed mobile Internet era. You can use your "fragmented time" on the way to work and school, or eat breakfast and go to the toilet, etc., to watch the video to relieve boredom, without worrying that the video is too long, which will affect what you want to do next, or sit and stand, squat and numb legs, or something.
This iron law has never changed since the birth of the "Sports Science" column, and Gu Yu has never watched more than five minutes of "Sports Science".
Although Gu Yu did not take a bath in order to comfort Xiao Yu, but talked with Xiao Yu in the corridor for a long time, only a few minutes had passed.
But in a few minutes, "Sports Science" should have been broadcast a long time ago.
But now, the players are still watching the show.
What's going on? Could it be that today's ESPN director ate Xiang, and his brain pumped for two episodes in a row?
"What's ......?"
Unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, Gu Yu walked to the TV in a few steps and looked at it.
"Whew...... Swish! ”
I saw on the screen, a small player wearing the classic jersey of the Philadelphia 76ers, was dribbling like flying, and suddenly a stop-up jump shot was made, and the basketball went into the net.
This guy is ......
"Stephen Curry, the only man in the league who can compete with his cousin Gu Yu's shooting speed!"
Blake's voice sounded at the right time, answering the doubts in Gu Yu's heart.
…… Stephen Curry??
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little unable to come back to his senses.
The baby-faced elementary school student next to Chen Mu?
This guy and I are on the same issue of Sports Science?
But I didn't see him at all that day!
"What the hell......!"
Gu Yu is second monk is puzzled, where would he have thought that it was the host Blakes who was talking about the data seriously on the screen, after the recording of his program, he specially talked to the leader, saying that there were two players who could make a comparison to increase the watchability of the program, which led to this result.
And Brecks' reason for doing this is very simple: he just doesn't want Gu Yu to be beautiful alone!
After getting rid of the injury and completely recovering the health of the ankle, after changing the healthy coach and signing a contract with Under Armour, a privately owned sporting goods company owned by the team's boss, and putting on new shoes, Stephen Curry, the baby-faced killer hiding next to Philadelphia ace Chen Mu, repaid the trust of his teammates, fans, and coaches with a career-high 23 points per game.
Blakes' voiceover sounds, and in the picture, Curry is at a brisk pace, and his ankle looks like he's fully healthy. But apparently there have been many drastic changes in direction, and the characteristics of the entire technical movement have changed greatly, whether it is shaking the shot or breaking through with the ball, Curry's movements have become more forbearant and smooth, as if he has completely changed a person, and there is a faint trace of the demeanor of a general between gestures.
"So far this season, Curry has averaged 45 percent shooting per game, 45 percent from three-point range, and over 90 percent from the free throw line, completing a rather unusual '180 club' statistic."
"It's really special......!"
The players also nodded their heads.
As you know, generally speaking, when we talk about the "180 Club", this is the shooting percentage of the marksman, which refers to the standard of "shooting more than 50 percent overall, more than 40 percent shooting from three-point range, and more than 90 percent from the free throw line".
However, the sum of Curry's three shooting percentages, although it also exceeds "180", but the composition of the data is very special, the total shooting percentage is relatively low, and the three-point shooting rate has increased significantly, this kind of 180, which is rare in history.
The players know very well what it is to increase their three-point shooting percentage by 5 percent. That's more terrifying than a 10 percent increase in overall hits, and the difference is orders of magnitude.
It's not just the individual scoring efficiency, but with this level of shooting percentage, Curry's threat with the ball on the court and the containment of the opposing defense will add more than one notch. With a 45 percent three-point shooting rate, the people who can do it are generally pure shooters and role players who only take one or two shots a game.
But Curry did it while conceding an average of 7.7 three-pointers per game.
It's pretty scary.
Coincidentally, Curry's shooting speed, emergency stop preparation time, shot angle, shot height and other data are almost the same as the Gu Yu we mentioned earlier, almost the same. Both are currently among the deadliest outside scorers in the league, and perhaps, we're witnessing a new era! ”
Blakes is also forcibly "the same", although Curry has indeed become a lot stronger, but in terms of the magnitude of scoring, there is still a big gap with Gu Yu. The difference in points per game is more than 12 points, which is already the gap between role players and star players.
But Curry is indeed already a force to be reckoned with.
Blakes' purpose in doing this is simple.
"Look at Curry's beautiful shooting moves and amazing crosshairs, shouldn't such Curry become the peerless pride of his cousin Gu Yu and the enemy of his life? Shouldn't such Curry be eligible to enter the NBA All-Star Weekend in the United States? ”
When the word "American" is spoken, Brecstedi also adds an accent.
This way, people will know what he means.
The NBA, which is also a professional league for Americans, if there are two Chinese in the starting lineup of the east and west, what kind of system will it be?
Compared with the data, there is still a gap between Curry and Gu Yu, but we have to pay attention to the future! Future!
To put it bluntly, Blakes just doesn't want Gu Yu and Chen Mu to steal the limelight from all American players in the All-Star Game!
"That's too bad, isn't it?......?"
Evans couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head and said, "ESPN is at this level now?" This kind of program can also pass? The producer of the column is not good at reviewing a film or something?? ”
"Uh...... Watch subtitles......"
Garcia gestured to the screen, where the show was over and the credits were being played.
The producer is Blakes himself.
“…… All right. ”
Evans sighed and said, "But I still think it's disgusting, isn't it obvious that you want to use Curry as a reason to share my cousin's ticket!" ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Xiao Yu directly took out his mobile phone and checked the latest voting results.
“…… No wonder. ”
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Look at the current voting situation." ”
Everyone came forward to take a look, and they knew it in their hearts.
In the East, there is no doubt that Chen Mu is still the most popular player, in this era when the number of NBA All-Star votes is shrinking, he still ranks first in the East with more than two million votes, and is also the player with the most votes in the league, surpassing LeBron, Kobe and other popular monsters.
And the name behind Chen Mu was a little surprising.
"Cousin...... 1.7 million votes?!! ”
Gu Yu, 1.7 million!!
"I'm amazing, my brother! Kobe Bryant is only 1.5 million!! ”
"LeBron is also a million and a half million! My cousin's popularity is already higher than theirs! Second in the league!! ”
The players were all excited, and they stepped forward one after another, and gave Gu Yu various high-fives and fists.
Gu Yu himself frowned slightly and said nothing.
I don't want the top two NBA All-Star voters to be Chinese, so that's why such a trick was made?
Want to use Curry to split my votes? No, Curry is an Eastern defender, and it doesn't conflict with my vote!
Don't......
"Well, it's quite possible."
Gu Yu turned his head and met Xiao Yu's eyes.
The latter nodded as well.
The week after that, what happened in the final stages of the All-Star voting confirmed the two men's suspicions.
