Chapter 459 2009-2010 New Season! First Battle!
The alliance issued a 'Zhongyu clause' for Zhongyu.
This is also a complete acknowledgment of the legitimacy of the big contract signed by Jong-wook and the Clippers!
After the introduction of this 'Zhong Yu clause', Zhong Yu's contract became completely legal, and the next step was a new journey.
Zhong Yu's fans, the most considered is Zhong Yu's presence in the Clippers.
Whether he can establish himself here, whether he can lead the Clippers to a brilliant record, is a big question.
On the issue of trading, it can be said that the Clippers and Hornets are also a win-win situation!
The Clippers got Jong-wook and the Hornets added an Eric. Gordon, inside reinforcement Chris. Kaman. Of course, Zhong Yu is no longer in the Hornets, and the combat effectiveness of the Hornets will definitely drop a lot, but this decline will become smaller because of reinforcement.
There are also many people who have begun to care, did Zhong Yu and Paul, who were previously well-known in the league, break up because Zhong Yu switched teams?
A lot of people are interested in this matter with malicious intentions.
Journalists, of course, don't let go of this kind of concern that everyone is concerned about, and immediately someone came to Paul after a preseason game.
"Chris, what do you think about the recent move to the Clippers and the pressure on the league to introduce the 'Jongwook clause'?" Here's how the reporters asked.
"I think it's normal, the NBA league is making some trades all the time, it's normal! And the alliance introduced this policy to make the transaction fairer. ”
"Is there a reason for Zhong Yu to leave the Hornets?"
"Seriously. This is Zhong Yu's own choice, he is in order to give himself a better platform, I support him! And I wish him, but also ask the outside world not to speculate more about our relationship, he and I are still good brothers. ”
"Then do you think that the Clippers team with Zhong Yu now will be better than the Hornets team that Zhong Yu walked away. Is it stronger? The reporter then asked.
"It's hard to say...... We have to be in the game to see ......"
…………
By the time the league's 'Jongwoo Clause' was officially introduced, the preseason was almost over......
Seven preseason games, the current Cup Clippers are 1-6. One of them was a game against the Hornets, which was defeated.
The Clippers' record has fallen to the bottom.
Of course. It's just pre-season.
However, many Zhong Yu's fans are already worried about Zhong Yu.
"Zhong Yu has come to such a team, can he adapt to it? After all, the Hornets in front of him have a top point guard like Paul! And now the Clippers' record ......"
Jongwook's fans are worried about him.
Of course, Jongwook also knows the current situation of the Clippers. To be honest, the configuration of the clippers is definitely not bad! It's just that this lineup is actually not too reasonable.
Griffin is this year's No. 1 pick, the man known as the White Monster, who has begun to catch the eye with his dunks in the preseason. And the points he averaged per game, rebounding has been occasionally revealed.
But the score points, not too many.
The Clippers' scoring ability still needs to be improved.
Griffin is far from mature, Byron. Davis is still a bit of a passive. The Clippers' record has stagnated.
Zhong Yu, can you take such a team to fight your way out of the encirclement?
…………
In the last preseason game, the Clippers challenged the 76ers away, and everyone was waiting for Jongwook to play, but he only played 9 minutes in the fourth quarter.
He played six minutes. Hit all 5 step-back jumpers, and the scoring ability is still very strong, but the Clippers lost to the 76ers on the road!
Suddenly, the basketball world was in an uproar!
Jong-wook joined the Clippers, and the Clippers didn't win? …,
In fact, Zhong Yu didn't plan to come to this game properly, because they were at the home of the 76ers that day, because they had a small dispute with a fan of the 76ers, and he was basically dealing with this matter in the first three quarters, and he was in a hurry in the fourth quarter.
But Jongwook led the Clippers, and the Clippers still failed to win, which aroused the suspicion of many fans around the world.
Hornets fans felt they had found a way to attack Chung-wook, and after Jong-wook left the Hornets, many of the Hornets players began to hate Chung-wook.
"Look, Jongwook joining the Clippers was indeed a wrong choice, he simply didn't get enough status with the Clippers and didn't make the team better."
"Jongwook can't find the feeling of staying with the Hornets anymore, right? The Clippers, this is not a good team. ”
Hornets fans, big attack.
There are also many attacks on Zhong Yu.
It can be said that Zhong Yu and they returned to Los Angeles a little disgraced.
…………
After returning to Los Angeles, the old man Sterling chatted with Zhong Yu the next day, this guy was very friendly, but Zhong Yu could hear that he hoped that he would play well in the future.
Why doesn't he want to play well?
He also wants to carve out his own piece of the ruins of the Los Angeles Clippers.
The local media in Los Angeles have more questions about the Los Angeles Clippers, and some people even questioned Jong-wook.
However, there are very few doubts about Zhong Yu.
After all, they also knew that Zhong Yu's ability and current fame and status were all earned by himself step by step.
So they still didn't question Zhong Yu too much.
But there are some other voices.
The Los Angeles Post commented: "The arrival of Zhong Yu did not make a substantial change to the Clippers, and it is very doubtful that Sterling will regret the business he has made. ”
…………
Of course, there are also a lot of fans who are retorting: "NBA, what is really worth watching is not even the regular season, but the playoffs!" It's just an insignificant preseason game now, and Jongwook's role for the Clippers is far from being apparent! ”
"It depends on the quality of the Clippers. At least wait until the regular season, right? What's a comment now? ”
…………
Of course, some of the resurgence of Zhong Yuhei still insisted: "The Clippers can't even play well in the preseason, let alone the regular season and playoffs...... What's more, in the playoffs, do they have what it takes to make the playoffs? ”
The whole world is about to rain, and Zhong Yu is of course listening to it in his ears.
But. From beginning to end, he didn't even frown when he heard the news. He just smiled.
Of course, he didn't care because he didn't care, but because. He felt that he would soon be able to prove it, so why bother?
…………
The first battle to test the Clippers is coming soon.
October 27, 2009! The NBA2009-2010 season is officially launched! Today's opener includes a lot of strong teams.
The Clippers' opener was Oct. 28, 2009, and they were playing at home...... The Staples Center, their home court the day before, had been vacated for the Lakers.
Today, they're at home to the Phoenix Suns!
The game has not yet begun, and the stadium can accommodate nearly 20,000 people. More than 18,000 spectators have already run in...... This set a record for the highest attendance in the first game of the season in the history of the Clippers!
Sterling, who was waiting for the real-time data of this game, just saw this data and his mouth was crooked.
He knew that he would buy Zhong Yu with such a big contract and at the cost of going against the alliance. Today's attendance alone is enough! …,
As you can imagine, most of these people are coming for Zhong Yu.
Otherwise, two days ago, in the preseason, without Zhong Yu's home stadium, why is the attendance still so low?
And. In the first game of this season, compared with the same period last year, the number of TV stations broadcasting the Clippers directly increased by two or three times! If it weren't for Zhong Yu, where did they get so much broadcast rate?
Sterling knew immediately that with Zhongyu, the Clippers had a cash cow.
Of course, if Chung Yu does not perform well and the Clippers still play as badly as they did in the preseason, then the effect of Chung Yu will gradually fade away.
After that, we still need to see whether Zhong Yu can take the Clippers to the top.
…………
There are so many fans, and sure enough, most of them came to watch Zhong Yu.
After the Clippers relocated to Staples, although they made a lot more money, compared to their fellow city team, the Lakers, the Clippers almost lived in the shadows.
And today, it's clear that the Clippers are out of that shadow, at least temporarily.
The two armies are about to fight!
"Zhong Yu's real performance, this game should be shown!" Some fans began to discuss: "In this game, he has to hurry up and get into the groove!" ”
"Of course we can, otherwise we would have come to watch such a game for him?" There are fans next to him who have chimed in.
Jong-wook is about to walk out of the locker room. The atmosphere in the locker room, of course, is not as good as that of the Hornets, but it is barely passable, Griffin, Jordan Jr. and a few others are very friendly to Zhong Yu, and as for the Clippers' old gang, Zhong Yu is still a little noncommittal.
Zhong Yu will ignore them for the time being, the time is still very long! What he had was time to transform these people.
The race is about to begin!
Zhong Yu put on his appearance clothes, and then the first to run out of the player's tunnel!
"Zhong Yu! It's Jongwook! Several fans shouted excitedly, and all of a sudden, a sea of voices shouting Zhong Yu's name came out.
On both sides of the player's tunnel, countless hands stretched out, wanting to high-five Zhong Yu!
See the players' tunnel again, see the home again, see the darkness again!
Zhong Yu could see that the brilliant Staples center of gravity bloomed with countless lights at the top!
And below, there is also the auditorium, which is a darkness with no end in sight. This kind of junction between light and darkness, as well as the big clipper logo on the floor, and the voices of more than 10,000 fans around the lake, instantly made Zhong Yu's heart churn.
It's here to start a new journey!
It's right here, Zhong Yu is going to step on the glory! (To be continued)
