Chapter 746: With Us!
βYEEEEEEEEEEEEESοΌοΌοΌβ
Sacramento, Sleep Train Arena.
Game 6 of the series, it's over.
"Perfect! Perfect comeback gig!! β
On the side of the commentary stage, the Sacramento local commentator, watching the fans celebrating in unison and cheering for the players, shouted excitedly: "The Sacramento Kings ushered in Andrew Bynum's comeback today." Although he did not start, Bynum only played 20 minutes in order to recover and adapt to the game. But Bynum's performance today is definitely worthy of everyone's expectations of him before the start of the season! β
"Good fight, boy!" On the sideline bench, Gu Yu had just finished chatting with the fans, and when he turned around and saw Bynum sitting on the bench, holding a piece of paper in his hand, with an indignant expression, he was instantly happy, and stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" Still not satisfied with playing so well today? What are you looking at?? β
ββ¦β¦ Depend on! Bynum didn't answer Gu Yu's question directly, but raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yu, holding back his mouth for a long time, and finally waved his big hand, put the paper in front of Gu Yu's eyes and shook it: "Look for yourself!" β
"Grandma's shaking like this, you want me to be unconscious!" Gu Yu stretched out his hand and slapped Bynum's head fiercely, then took the paper, looked at it carefully, and said with a puzzled expression: "Technical statistics? It's normal, what's wrong?? β
"...... Damn......" Bynum was still scolding his mother, and when he heard Gu Yu's words, he was instantly unhappy, and said with a glare: "Your score has tripled my score!" Can I be happy? Yes?! β
"Isn't that a normal thing?" Gu Yu shrugged, saw his scoring data, and pretended to be surprised and covered his mouth and said, "Eh, I scored 45 points, I really didn't expect it." β
ββ¦β¦ Can you go to death?? Wei Shao passed by, glared at Gu Yu deeply, and expressed his disdain with two downward thumbs.
"I really didn't expect it, I still have a 60% hit rate, it's really good!" Gu Yu completely ignored Wei Shao's complaints, and continued to look down: "Eh, our main point guard got 20 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and his performance is quite good!" β
"That's a human saying! Hahahaha! Wei Shao smiled smugly.
"But the hit rate is only 40 percent, it's really a cancer." Gu Yu said.
ββ¦β¦ MMP: I bought a watch last year, would I like to show it to you?! Wei Shao made a gesture to make a move with Gu Yu, but was pulled away by the players with a smile.
"No, Andrew, I still haven't figured it out." Ignoring Wei Shao's nonsense, Gu Yu pointed to the statistics table and said, "You have 20 minutes, 15 points and 9 rebounds, and your performance is very good!" It's also very efficient, and the shooting percentage is much higher than that of a certain point guard, what's not to be satisfied with? β
"You're going to die!!" Wei Shao was pulled away by everyone again.
"I ...... I don't think that's the only point! Bynum finally said what was in his heart, and patted his thigh with an unhappy face: "In terms of the feeling on the field, I feel like I have scored 20 points." β
"Oh......?"
When Bynum said this, everyone was stunned.
Reminiscing, indeed, everyone feels this way.
As long as Bynum is on the court, the opponent is not Bynum's opponent, regardless of whether he is Jordan Jr. or Griffin or Glen Davis or Hollins.
In contrast, Griffin and Davis, who have mid-range shots and even the ability to break through the frame, have a slightly greater impact on Bynum. After all, Bynum has just returned from injury, and his feet are not completely neat, and he is also a little rusty with the game, so it is normal for him to not be able to keep up with the pace.
But little Jordan?
Little Jordan in this game is about to be blown into scum by Bynum!
"That's right." Gu Yu also nodded, frowned and thought: "Little Jordan can't grab you with rebounds, offense can't beat your defense, card cards can't get into you, it's a little more powerful than bounce is him, but he only took one of you, and most of the time he was eating your block." When attacking, it seems that there are good opportunities for giving you the ball, and Little Jordan can't hold you down at all, your type is too much to beat him. Why did you only get 15 points? β
is the same as Gu Yu's description, everyone thinks that as long as Bynum is on the court, Little Jordan is really powerless, and how uncomfortable it is to play.
Jordan Jr.'s type of player, the most suitable for defense, is the new generation of interior masters. Those inside lines who can shoot with the ball and can also grab the board will suffer a lot when they meet Jordan Jr.
Because Little Jordan's running and jumping quality is so good, and his body is so strong, there are few people in the league who can move him. The card position is basically Jordan Jr.'s advantage, and the defensive frame can send a big hat from time to time. As for the back-to-back offense, the back-to-back skills of these centers in the league are really not enough for little Jordan to eat.
If it weren't for his own offense, Jordan Jr.'s defensive and pie-eating skills would already be a perennial All-Star-level center.
But Bynum, however, is an extremely retro insider in this era.
The face frame is very occasional, the mid-range shot is not necessarily reliable, the footwork is not the type of Scud, and the bounce also drops significantly after a major injury.
However, Bynum's back is still there, his footwork is still there, his soft ability to put the basket under the basket is still there, his innate sense of position is still there, his position selection on the defensive end is still there, and his kung fu is still there.
And, the body that seems to be round and has no muscles, but in fact, the body that is born with divine power is still there.
This traditional center attribute is the type that Jordan Jr. is the least good at dealing with.
Bynum, of course, has his own problem, which is the brain. But as long as he puts down his body, plays well beside Gu Yu and Wei Shao, and grasps the opportunities that belong to him, he is still an inside force that cannot be ignored in the league.
When he was healthy in the regular season, Bynum also averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game, which is already very good considering the pace of the Kings' offense and the center of gravity of the offense that is biased towards the outside.
But why is it that today, Bynum doesn't know the mother who beat Jordan Jr. on the court, but the scoring data is not eye-catching?
"Hehe, it's normal, because you have several offensive opportunities to come out, but you didn't put them in because of your soft hand."
Behind the group, Phil Jackson's voice rang out.
"Coach!" Bynum immediately sat up straight, looked at the only coach who could subdue him with a thirst for knowledge, and said sincerely: "You're right, I have a little lack of strength in my hands, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to the final basket." β
"Hehe, don't worry." Phil Jackson was not worried, waved his hand and smiled: "After all, you have been injured for a long time, this situation is normal." The physical exertion of the official game is different from the practice match, and the offensive and defensive intensity is also different. Besides, how long it's been since you've played in the playoffs, do you remember? β
As soon as Phil Jackson said this, Bynum was also speechless.
yes, it's been a long time since I've played in the playoffs!
As a lucky person who is new to the league, can play in a giant like the Lakers, and can play next to a master like Kobe, Bynum has made the playoffs almost every year in the first few years of his career.
Although he didn't play a lot of playing time, in the Lakers' championship years, Bynum's role was still obvious, and the data didn't reflect it at all.
The two years from 10 to 12 years were when Bynum was really entrusted with the task. In the playoffs, his output is also quite impressive. Especially in the 11-12 season, he averaged 37 minutes per game, was able to score 16.7 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks in defensive performances, which can be regarded as completely justifying himself.
However, Bynum then fell into injury.
Two years, two years of the most precious time to rise, Bynum has spent almost always on the sickbed. finally changed teams, and it seemed that he had a chance to become the boss of the new team, leading the team to fight in the playoffs, but the illness came to the door, so he could only waste his years in the hospital bed.
Coupled with those negative news off the field, the little shark, who was hailed as an insider master in the new era two years ago, has become a street rat that everyone can beat and scold overnight.
Now, a new opportunity is in front of him, and Bynum is no longer so young.
Is there still a chance?
Do you still have a chance to reverse those ill-intentioned banter in your career?
Is Bynum, as he appears in front of the media, stubborn, completely distracted from basketball, and doesn't want to prove himself again?
If that were the case, Bynum, he wouldn't have chosen basketball in the first place, would he?
So now......
"I'll be back, as long as there are three or five more games to adapt," Phil Jackson obviously saw the mind of the general, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he reached out and touched Bynum's head: "Don't worry, rest assured, rest assured to grab rebounds, rest assured to defend, rest assured to run and jump." If you have any physical problems, our team doctor will help you take care of them. Problems on the pitch ......"
"Hmph." Gu Yu wrapped his hands around his chest, pointed his thumb to his chest, and said proudly: "There are us!" β
"And me!" Wei Shao was not to be outdone, and immediately followed.
"And Dad, you trash." Daddy Vitesse said coldly.
"Then count me as one~" Beasley's lazy arm waved behind everyone, gave a thumbs up, leaned on the bench and lay down beautifully, and yawned at the end.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, we're all here!" Little Thomas and the others also stepped forward, looked at Bynum, and encouraged this big man who seemed to be grinning, but was actually fragile in his heart.
"You ......" For a while, Bynum's eyes suddenly moistened, and the scene in front of him was a little unclear.
Injury? Suffering? Criticize? Taunt?
It's really uncomfortable.
But there is such a group of brothers, a group of people who seem to be in their brains, but in fact...... It's true that my brothers, who are not very brainy, are supporting me behind me......
Bynum lowered his head, clenched his fists, held back his tears, gritted his teeth and nodded heavily: "...... Well! β
How happy......
On the other side, Jordan Jr. was about to leave the court when he heard the sound of a group of dads on the King's side arguing with each other about who was the dad, and glanced back.
In my heart, an indescribable taste surged up.
The battle of life and death is coming.
