Chapter 58: The Uproar
67 points in a single game!!
In the summer league championship game, the fierce confrontation between the Sacramento Kings and the Dallas Mavericks finally came to an end after four quarters and an overtime. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the whole game, the most shining player is not the Kings' best rookie Evans, not the high-post show interior overlord Cousins, not the Mavericks Bubois, not the light of the Chinese Jeremy Lin, but a guy with oily hair and arrogant in his words and deeds
Gu Yu!
"Strong! Invincibility! ā
By the same time the whistle blew at the end of the game, Twitter had already exploded.
I don't know how many celebrities, whether they watched the game or not, followed basketball or not, and sent relevant tweets.
A thin shooter from Asia scored 67 points in a single game, improving the original scoring record by as many as 25 points in one fell swoop. What Gu Yu has done, in the eyes of the American public, is not only a miracle, but also the best synonym for the American dream.
"Fight for it!"
Even the NBA's official Twitter has released relevant content, and the attached video link is clicked, and a video window will immediately pop up, with an easy-to-understand title - the full collection of 67 points from the King's rookie explosion!
This tweet was retweeted and re-disseminated by many stars, and became the most popular choice for Twitter that day. Fans, experts, and reporters who have watched the video also immediately chose to forward it again.
"That's so accurate......!!"
In the comments, many people sighed at Gu Yu's amazing scoring ability. It's no wonder that the pictures selected in the video are all pictures of Gu Yu's shots, if you just look at the highlights, you will feel that Gu Yu is almost a bullet, and he will score a goal as soon as he shoots.
In addition, in the fourth quarter of the game, Gu Yu's skill tree was completely lit up, and when he was in full swing, he threw a lot of incredibly difficult balls. Let's take a look, Huo! Can this oil head continue to score in such a difficult situation? Amazing!
It's really in response to the saying, "If you just look at the highlights, every NBA player is a superstar"!
"It's nothing remarkable, the defense is too weak and too weak, there is no physical confrontation at all. If a shooter is allowed to shoot in such a lawless vacant position, the Mavericks assistant coach should hang himself. ā
There are many comments, and it is inevitable that there will be opposing voices. In fact, in the process of this transmission, there were not a few people who sprayed Gu Yu.
Needless to say, don't say a few words at this time, it seems that you are sorry for their expertise. Among experts and reporters, there are also many people who spray when they open their mouths, and although the words they say are heavy, they are also part of the facts.
"It doesn't mean anything."
On the TV screen, ESPN's expert interviews are taking place. The TV station was very attentive and invited Jerry West, one of the promoters and founders of the summer league and an NBA celebrity, to participate in the interview.
West, known as the LOGO man, is the prototype of the dribble logo on the famous LOGO of the NBA, and has won the only losing Finals MVP in history, and he was a generation of heroes when he was a player. At the shooting guard position, West is a figure of the rank of President Hill.
After retiring in 1974, West began working in basketball-related industries. In 1982, West became the team's general manager as a Lakers Meritorious Player.
During his tenure as manager of the Lakers, West made a number of amazing moves. In the black-and-white competition in the 80s, the Lakers were able to overwhelm the Celtics by half a head, and it has to be said that there is a considerable part of West's credit.
Later, including exchanging Divac for Kobe, signing O'Neal, and after switching to the Grizzlies, bringing the perennially weak Grizzlies into the playoffs, etc., are also indelible glories in West's credit book.
"When I was with the Lakers, I was involved in the creation of the league's summer league, which was intended to give marginal players a stage to show themselves, and the team could observe the quality level of these players in a confrontational situation and decide whether to sign or not."
Facing the camera, West said eloquently: "At that time, our idea was very simple, we wanted to give marginal players a chance to convince the managers and owners of each team on the field of play to try to change their own destiny. But now, everything has changed. ā
In the background picture, the scene of Gu Yu scoring is played again and again, and it can be seen that at least more than seventy percent of Gu Yu's shots are empty shots without confrontation. The defender had already been blocked or taken away by Gu Yu's teammates, and there was no way to interfere with Gu Yu's shooting.
"Look at these shots, look at this sloppy defense, tsk......"
Looking at the picture, West shook his head with disdain and said, "This can also be called defense?" Can this also be called confrontation? Can this also be called a competition?? ā
The host asked, "Jerry, what do you mean ......"
"I mean, the whole Summer League, it's gone off track!"
West didn't know why, he was actually a little angry, blushing and frowning: "This player, I don't know what his name is, and I don't want to know, but I know that before the game, in front of the media, he said that he wanted to win the summer league scoring title, right?" ā
Everyone nodded.
"Does this scoring champion matter? Does it make sense? What if you take it? Does that mean he's better than John Wall? ā
West was indignant: "A lot of fringe players have made summer league their show now. As a scoring guard, don't go to hold the ball to find a single, don't break through and fight, and only know how to shoot outside, which can also be called a scoring guard? Why don't you call it an anti-aircraft battery?? ā
"This ......"
The host felt that what West said was a bit excessive. Shooting up and opening up space has become one of the mainstream development directions of the NBA today. West said this, but a stick knocked over an unknown number of boatmen.
But West doesn't care about this, as a celebrity, he has always had something to say, pointing to Gu Yu's hairstyle action on the screen and said, "Still tidying up your hairstyle on the field?" What are you here for? Competition or catwalk?? What happens after winning this scoring title? Do you have the strength to stay in the NBA? Isn't it for the sake of going to a low-level league in the future - for example, when I was in the CBA in China, I would have a beautiful resume and I could get a big contract?? ā
"And the other players of the Kings, they are also on the court!"
After spraying Gu Yu, West didn't give up, and the fire power of the mouth cannon was amazing, and the other players of the king also sprayed: "All the shots are given to the same person, have you ever seen a basketball game like this?" Basketball is not a game of righteousness between brothers, but a war! When you fight, you give all the bullets to the same person, what about the others? Are they all going to die?? ā
As he spoke, West looked at the camera, and the corners of his mouth pursed down viciously: "This kind of player, selfish, this kind of team, black miasma!" No wonder we couldn't beat the Lakers in those years, and the atmosphere in the team determined the ceiling of a team! ā¦ā¦ā
"Okay, okay, stop watching this kind of show!"
The TV was changed, and in front of Gu Yu's eyes, a big hand waved, trying to get his attention.
"Gu, are you ready?"
Cousins said: "Accept the award soon, press conference, dress handsome!" ā
"DeMarcus ......"
Gu Yu was still immersed in West's words, and looked straight ahead with his eyes, "What do you think...... Is he right?? ā
"Huh? Who? West? Cousins frowned: "Half and half!" ā
"Which half and which half?" Gu Yu asked.
"It's true to say that the summer league competition is getting lower and lower, and many people use it as a show." Cousins said: "But it would be wrong to say that you only care about shooting and scoring to hurt the team. ā
As he spoke, Cousins stepped forward and stretched out his hand to put his hand on Gu Yu's shoulder and said, "You are a scoring guard, and a scoring guard can't score, why are you still playing?" ā
"Then what do you think ......?"
Gu Yu looked back at Cousins and asked seriously: "Hit the street and white belt, ...... they Can you stay? What about me? ā
"This ......"
Cousins was stopped by Gu Yu's question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. In the end, Gu Yu got up first and said, "Let's go to the press conference first!" The two left together.
Later that day, the Sacramento Kings, and the entire league, were completely shaken by several big and small news.
