Chapter 32: The Rising Status
Jong-wook's performance was quite good, and the members of the uniform team who watched the game today also nodded incessantly.
Zhong Yu's sudden rise is really surprising and admirable at the same time.
A second-round show can not give up on himself, seize a rare opportunity, and come step by step. By now, he has garnered a lot of attention, and in New Orleans, Chung Yu is a rising business opportunity.
The No. 5 New Orleans jersey has been selling out wildly in the past few days, allowing the team to get a lot of peripheral income.
Compared with the contract signed with Zhong Yu, what they have gained now is actually far exceeded. Jongwook was only selected in the second round that year, and the Hornets only gave him a $740,000 contract for the first year and $800,000 for the second year, and the New Orleans Hornets had a team option in the second year.
Now it seems that this kid's ability is not simple, especially for the $740,000 he is holding now.
Compared with some players who get less than 10 points per game with tens of millions of contracts, Zhong Yu, a player who earns $740,000 but scores nearly 20 points per game, is really surprising.
Among the fans, Jongwook is really known to everyone in the last few games.
But just a few games are enough.
Between the lightning and flint, the extremely elegant jump shot has already made people remember him, and remember the sword he could contribute at that critical moment to seal his throat. At that time, everyone was still a little suspicious that Zhong Yu could only become an excellent shooter at most.
However, after today's game, everyone saw two breakthroughs from Jongwook. These two breakthroughs made Barbossa crappy like a pathetic clown in front of Zhong Yu, and although a player often can't be certified by one or two goals, most of the fans can see the technical content of his two breakthroughs.
"God willing, the magical Jongwook is in our New Orleans." Several fans even had crosses drawn on their chests. At the same time, Zhong Yu sat on the bench and took a sip of water, and there were some big people sitting in the front row behind him, hoping to get a photo with Zhong Yu.
Jongwook kindly accommodated them, and at this time, Scott asked Jongwook to return to the game, and it seems that he still hopes that Jongwook can provide enough firepower support for the Hornets.
In the following time, Zhong Yu's jump shot was not able to continue the miracle of 100 shots, and in the remaining five minutes of the second quarter, Zhong Yu made three shots and hit a mid-range shot, which increased his score in the game to 14 points.
Even if he didn't be able to continue his magic of hitting 100 shots in the second half of the second quarter, his stats for this game were 7 of 9 shots, shooting nearly 80%.
The first half was over, and the score between the Hornets and the Suns was 61:50, and the Hornets had an eleven-point lead. Sitting in the locker room, Zhong Yu wiped his face with a towel, Paul was on the side, and soon a reporter came up to interview him.
Zhong Yu originally wanted to sit on a stool and cover his face with a towel to recuperate, but at this time, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, so Zhong Yu couldn't sleep, and pushed the towel away, and a black reporter appeared in front of him.
This person is about one meter eight in size, and his eyes are very bright, Zhong Yu is a little strange: "Man, is there something wrong with you?" ”
"Hello, Zhong Yu, I'm a reporter for the New Orleans Metropolis Journal, my name is Leto, and I hope you can be interviewed by me."
"Hey...... An American reporter interviewed me in the locker room...... "Zhong Yu also came to the spirit, you must know that this was something that I didn't dare to think of before, these Americans will basically target Chris Paul, David West, boxing champion Chandler, etc."
"Very happily." Zhong Yu also said.
"You're getting better and better than you've been in the first half of the season, can you tell us the secret? Or how do you go from a player who is not very well known to suddenly have a great game and people know your name, what's the trick in that? ”
Of course, Zhong Yu also knows that many people are quite curious about this question, after all, the contrast between his front and back this season is too big, which makes people very confused.
He thought about it for a moment and said, "I've thought about this question too, but I know I can't find an answer. As fate always goes, you don't know what awaits you on the next stretch...... All I want is to play well and cherish every second I have on the NBA court, and that's just how I want to play. ”
This answer is not satisfactory, but it is an explanation.
"So, Zhong Yu, if you want to make a position for your current strength, what do you think it will be?"
"Positioning?" Zhong Yu touched his chin, and then said: "I don't deliberately find a position for myself, and I don't often tell myself what level I am, I say to myself every day, what you need to do is very simple, that is, get yourself to the court, and then play well, and the rest can be farther away." Now I am immature in many things, and I still need to work harder. ”
Leto felt that Zhong Yu's answer was quite a cure-all, and he also knew that it was estimated that there would not be too much exciting news from him, so the two of them ended the interview after more than two minutes of asking and answering.
So, Zhong Yu wrapped the towel around his head, leaned against the locker behind him, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
――――――
At the beginning of the second half, Jongwook played 15 minutes in the first half, so now he has the opportunity to rest.
Sitting on the bench and watching the game also has its own fun, after the superposition effect in the first area is lifted, Zhong Yu's physical fitness has improved a little, and his physical strength has also improved a little. Coupled with the professor with some other veteran players, Zhong Yu's physical strength is still quite abundant and can cope with such a high-intensity game in the NBA.
After six minutes of the first quarter, Scott brought Jongwook on the court again.
The current Hornets are 7 points ahead of the Suns, and their lead has been caught up by the Suns a lot, and the current Hornets seem to be in a scoring drought, banging the basket, and even some fans are a little lethargic.
So, Scott quickly called a timeout and let Jongwook play. Zhong Yu, a player who is a bit of an evil sect, is suitable for dealing with this kind of evil situation.
Seeing Zhong Yu on the court, the fans next to the basketball court cheered up again, and they all knew Zhong Yu's terrifying jump shooting percentage.
