Chapter 188: Beasts from the Future
"Hairstyling brother......?"
Gu Yu was continuing to warm up, and beside him, an unfamiliar voice sounded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Who's right??"
Gu Yu was polite, turned around after asking, and recognized the person in front of him at a glance: "Oh, oh, it's Brandon!" β
"Haha, yes!"
Standing beside Gu Yu is the main point guard of the Milwaukee Bucks, Brandon Jennings, who was once known as a super rookie.
If you talk about the basketball road so far in your whole life, Gu Yu and Jennings are simply standing at two extremes.
Jennings, who has been shining since junior high school, swept the state with super terrifying scoring firepower in high school, won various basketball awards for high school students, and scored records in piles and piles.
At that time, Jennings was even considered by the national media and ball critics to be the strongest high school student in the United States, surpassing the equally famous John Wall, Griffin and others. Many scouts even said that judging from Jennings' scoring firepower in high school, if the NBA had not banned high school students from entering the league directly, Jennings would definitely have the strength of basketball at the professional level.
And because of academic problems, Jennings failed to enter the college of his choice and failed to compete in the NCAA. Unlike other college undrafted players, who choose to continue to work hard, Jennings directly waved his hand and decided to train himself in overseas professional leagues.
At that time, Jennings's choice caused an uproar, and many people were discussing which is more reliable for high school players to participate in the NCAA or overseas professional leagues?
At that time, most people's opinion was that the NCAA was more reliable. The reason is very simple, the highest stage of American basketball is the NBA, yes, but the birthplace of American basketball tactics and the most representative of American basketball is the NCAA college league.
"If you don't play in the college league, you're trying to challenge the professional league directly? Brandon Jennings's choice has indirectly pushed himself to a dead end! β
The mainstream view is that Jennings' direct challenge to overseas professional leagues without real systematic training is absolutely irrational. And Jennings' performance in the Italian league and his stats seem to confirm this view. He averaged 17 minutes per game, with 5.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists. Only those 1.5 steals make people still remember that he was once the king of high schools in the United States.
Then Jennings entered the NBA, and people thought that the short, untrained player would probably sink there.
Jennings, who scored 55 points in a single game.
For a time, Jennings was unlimited, and became a well-deserved king of the rookie of the year. Once again, there is a reason why Jennings has been able to dominate the high school league. There are also more and more people who have come forward to support Jennings, thinking that he will definitely become a future superstar.
However, no one expected that the peak performance of 55 points would become the swan song of Jennings' career.
After that, Jennings never returned to that magical night. Although it can be regarded as a decent game, there have been some highlight seasons, but it is gradually distancing itself from the superstar that people expected.
Compared with a player like Jennings, Gu Yu is simply the other extreme.
"60+ in a single game, you can ahh you! Ha ha! β
Confirming that he didn't recognize the wrong person, Jennings immediately took Gu Yu's broken record and said with a smile: "A generation of new people replace old people, I'm only in the second grade, and people are about to forget my magical performance!" β
"Hahahaha, sooner or later!"
Gu Yu doesn't want to be cheeky at all......
"You've had a great Sacramento harvest this time!"
Jennings and Gu Yu have played against each other, knowing the temperament of this Asian big back, but they didn't care, looked around the court and said: "You, Tyreco, DeMarcus, in a rookie game, you were selected three people, it's amazing!" β
"They touch my light, touch my light......"
β¦β¦ Gu Yu, why did you say such shameless words and look modest!
"Hahaha, you're a megalomaniac." Jennings smiled and patted Gu Yu's shoulder and said, "But seriously, you rookies are not very good!" β
"What's wrong?" Gu Yu asked.
"Wall is okay, DeMarcus is not bad, and you are okay."
Jennings pointed his finger at a famous player and said, "For the rest, I can't see who has a star look!" β
"Oh......?"
Gu Yu looked back, on the rookie team's side, except for the three people mentioned by Jennings, the rest of the players really didn't look like they could become big players.
Williams Jr. is less Bledsoe, Derrick Favors is not too indiscriminate, Landry Fields has limited talent, Greg Monroe is not too strong in attack and weak in defense, and Gary Neil, a typical role player......
If it weren't for Griffin, who was out of action for a year and caused the rookie season to be postponed, the rookie team's lineup could be said to be quite scummy. Jennings said it politely, there is no star appearance? It's only about half of the players who can play NBA-level starters.
And this group of people is already the strongest candidate among this rookie.
"You're no better!"
After looking at his side, Gu Yu looked at the other side again: "There are only three of them that Tyrek, Stephen, and Demar can fight, and the others are all scumbags." β
ββ¦β¦ Don't take me seriously, K. β
Jennings gestured at Gu Yu: "Let me tell you, Da Juan Blair, Tay Gibson, Zhu Holiday , Ibaka , Wesley Matthews all have starter-level strength. With the three you said and me, and Blake, who was 'loaned' to you, we can produce at least five All-Stars here, believe it or not? β
"Including you?" Gu Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Of course you include nonsense!" Jennings nodded heavily.
"Then I don't believe it." Gu Yu turned around and left.
ββ¦β¦ I'll go to your sister's you give me back! β
At this moment, no one knows that Jennings' words still underestimate the players in these two drafts.
That is, a few years later, among the more than ten players on the court at this time, some became the league's No. 1 point guard, some became the No. 1 center, some carried the retro banner and defended the dignity of the No. 2 position with a turn-over jumper, and some became the king of blocks.
This group of beasts from the future, under the rule of Chen Mu and LeBron James, two super "villains", have injected countless fresh blood into the NBA. It also laid a solid foundation for the magnificent scenes in the future.
On the field, the interaction between the players continued, and on the sidelines, the commentators also talked about the same topic.
"2010 was really a draft year......!"
Smith sighed: "Especially compared with 2009, one day and one earth! β
"So you mean there's no suspense in today's game?" Barkley's fat eyes turned white.
"What kind of suspense can there be?"
Smith shrugged and said, "Second grade is a win!" β
An hour later.
ββ¦β¦ If you have a sick brain, you dare to vote...... the groove in in and in and into the inside!! Hairstyling brother has scored again!! The rookie team, the rookie team is about to overtake the score!! β
Kenny Smith was on the verge of madness.
on the field.
"Cousin's good ball-!!"
The coach of the second-grade team shouted a timeout, and the rookie team was very excited, jumping around with tense muscles, roaring all the way to Gu Yu's side, and high-fived Gu Yu fiercely.
"Good shot! Hit beautifully!! β
The rookie team's backcourt engine John Wall also came to work, trotted all the way and jumped high, and bumped into Gu Yu's chest: "This assist is cool!" β
"No wonder DeMarcus calls you cousin, you kid has two brushes!"
"Big Brother" Blake Griffin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu Yu and nodded uncontrollably: "I dare to vote so much, my confidence is bursting!" β
"Of course!"
Returning to the bench and sitting down, Gu Yu took the towel to wipe his sweat and said, "How can you serve the crowd and discipline these people?" β
"That's right." Griffin nodded, "But the last time you hit us, why were you so iron??" β
"Auntie, uncle, cough cough during menstrual period......" Gu Yu coughed a few times and turned his head, pretending not to hear the latter words.
Sidelines, stands.
"It's really good, it feels like Reggie Miller is reincarnated."
A scout who didn't know what team was dressed in black, looked at Gu Yu's arrogant appearance, and said: "Compared to before the draft, the improvement is too obvious, and even a little exaggerated." β
"What, ...... you're interested?"
Another scout laughed, "Sacramento won't let people go." β
"It doesn't matter to me whether you let people go or not."
The man in black said: "We need fresh blood, the boss asked me to take a closer look at Miaozi and submit a report...... If you're Petri, do you let people go? β
"Will Petri let ......people go?"
The expression on the face of another scout was a little meaningful: "I definitely won't put it now, but what about three years from now, ...... in four years?" If the three young Kings continue to improve, how big contracts will they have to get when the time comes? β
The man in black frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean......"
"If all of them stay, the other positions will be scum, three thighs with a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled, the core is to keep, but don't expect the record. The current league is not ten years ago, and the strength of role players has improved a lot, and it is no longer possible to win by relying on stars with garbage. The scout laughed.
"Why don't you keep them all?" The man in black asked.
"If you don't keep all of them, the depth of the team will be guaranteed, and if you keep two and put one, you can also maintain two advantages on the field. But here's the problem......"
The scout's eyes were like knives, and he stared at Gu Yu: "Who should I let go......?" β
"In the era of small balls, big men are nuclear weapons." Humane in black.
"Wrong."
The scout shook his head and said: "In the era of small balls, the outside line is the king...... road!" β
"Beep! The pause is over! β
The game had come to the second half of the second quarter, and the timeout ended and players from both sides re-entered the game.
β1γ2γ3β¦β¦ ROOKIESοΌ β
After a shout, Griffin took the lead in the front, and the rookies stepped onto the court with a rainbow of momentum.
"Gu."
Gu Yu was just about to play, and behind him, assistant coach Anthony's shout sounded: "Come here, just a few seconds." β
Looking at Gu Yu with a puzzled face, Anthony showed his signature melon smile and said, "Let me tell you a little trick, after learning it, your dough frame singles efficiency can be doubled ......!" β
