Chapter 135: win the game and take the ribs
, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
In the fourth quarter, the substitute players on both sides came and went, and Bucks coach Scott Skiles also left Brandon Jennings on the court.
In the previous three quarters, Brandon Jennings was also taken care of by Chris Duhon and Wilson Chandler.
He took 21 shots and only scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
Scott Skiles also kept him on the court to give the kid some confidence back.
Lian Dao played against Brandon Jennings in high school. At that time, Brandon Jennings played for Oak Hill High School, a famous basketball school. In that exchange match, Whitney High School led by Lian Dao was defeated by Brandon Jennings led the Oak Hill High School massacre.
At that time, Brandon Jennings would never have thought that the tall and thin man who didn't even look at him would grow into a supernova in the league.
And Brandon Jennings echoed Bogout's outrageous words before the game, and he also felt unbalanced to a certain extent.
After all, a character who I didn't even look at back then, I didn't expect not only to enter the NBA as the No. 1 pick, but also to perform against the sky at the beginning of his rookie season, and the media called him a supernova.
Brandon Jennings couldn't accept this for a while. He thought that he was no worse than Lian Dao, on the contrary, he was even better than Lian Dao.
The reason why I was selected in tenth place was because the teams in front of me were blind.
Especially the Knicks, he also cursed the Knicks for their stupid choice afterwards, because the team he most wanted to play for was the Knicks.
However, Knicks chose Lian Dao, whom he didn't even look at at first.
To be honest, if Lian Dao didn't know him well enough, Chris Duhon and Wilson Chandler would really suffer from him.
Brandon Jennings is a fast pick-and-roll point guard with unstable shooting; he can break through but has poor finishing ability and is used to using his left hand; while defending actively, he rarely fouls and suffers from confrontation.
And as a fast left-handed guard, he has scoring instincts and a high arc from the outside; he can advance the rhythm, but his right hand is poor;
Therefore, the key to defending Jennings is to prevent his left hand, including his left breakthrough and so on.
Knowing your opponent's weaknesses, that Brandon Jennings defense will be targeted.
Therefore, Jennings, who was restricted from the breakthrough route, also had bleak statistics in the first three quarters.
In history, Brandon Jennings scored 55 points in a single game against the Warriors in the seventh game of his rookie season, second only to Chamberlain's 58 points, ranking second among rookies in a single game. At that time, it also shocked the NBA league.
Of course, even scoring 55 points against the Warriors now would only rank third.
In fact, the reason why he scored such a high score against the Warriors is that the league really doesn't know him, because he has no NCAA game experience, he failed the SAT after graduating from high school, and the pressure of family life Forced him to turn his attention to the European league.
Compared with the NCAA, the attention of the European League is a bit low for NBA teams, which is why he was selected tenth as the number one high school student in the United States that year.
After he entered the NBA, all teams were not familiar with his style of play, especially left-handed shots and left-handed breakthroughs, which made some teams not adapt immediately, and the Warriors were one of them.
That's why he scored 55 points against the Warriors.
In the second half of the season, many teams also discovered that he was only left-handed, so there was a targeted defense on the defensive end, which was also the reason for his ups and downs in the second half of the season.
In history, he was finally overtaken by Evans and Curry. Evans, who has been hot throughout the season, was successfully elected as the best rookie by averaging 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
Historically, in the second season, the offensive efficiency was low, the shot selection was poor, and the dribble breakthrough was likely to go to the left. When these weaknesses were well known by the entire league, Jennings quickly fell from the altar.
If Jennings really seeks to change in history and practice shooting and right hand hard, in fact his career should be in another direction.
It can only be said that the night of fame with 55 points made him a little flustered.
If you become famous when you are young, if you keep your mentality, you will go forward indomitably. If you can't keep your mentality, you will fall to the bottom!
Back on the court, the game is also over at this time.
The Knicks won the game 125:105.
At the same time, he also accepted Bogout's ribs.
After the game, the Bucks also wanted to appeal to the league, accusing Lian Dao of malicious behavior.
For this reason, Stern is also a headache in the office.
This cash cow has thorns. It has just started seven games, and two players have already been sent to the hospital. It is really a bit...
"President, at this time, the Knicks ranked first in the ratings of the previous Knicks game against the Cavaliers, and other countries want to introduce NBA broadcasting rights."
Lian Dao is not only popular in China, but his influence is also rapidly radiating to the entire Asian region, which is mainly due to his outstanding performance in the Asian Championships and his strength at the beginning of the season.
Moreover, Lian Dao has gained a lot of fans in many Asian countries with his good looks, excellent skills, and rich money at a young age, such as countries with a good life, Singapore, Smecta, and so on.
In addition, New York, as the economic center of the United States, is the largest ball market in the United States. This season also showed the influence of the New York ball market.
Stern took the folder from his assistant and saw the ratings column for the Knicks vs. Cavaliers. Stern's jaw almost dropped in shock.
This is almost catching up with the ratings of the NBA Finals.
Look at the ratings of the Knicks' other games. Although they are not as high as when they played against the Cavaliers, they are still equivalent to the ratings of the playoffs.
Moreover, Stern also found that some Asian countries also applied for the introduction of the Knicks' live broadcast rights.
What is this, this is money, a beautiful knife, food that exudes infinite charm!
What a thorny cash cow, this is the display of the player's own personality and an infinite extension of charm!
"Match video, is there any problem with Lian Dao?" Stern asked at this time.
"No problem was found from the video of the game, and Bogut is suspected of a malicious foul!" At this time, Vice President Mark Tatum said in advance.
Stern paused.
"If there is no problem, dismiss the Bucks' complaint, and at the same time warn the Bucks not to engage in some small actions." Stern said.
"But after all, Lian Dao sent someone to the hospital. This matter is still very bad. I think it should be severely punished. We can't make such an opening." At this time, the vice president Xiao Hua retorted.
"Adam, the responsibility is not on Lian Dao at all. If we make excessive penalties, we will lose credibility in the hearts of the fans. Once we make penalties, it will be excessive use of rules." At this time, Tatum said beside him.
"The responsibility does not lie with Lian Dao. There is a video to prove that the penalty should be fair. Well, I have made a decision!" Stern explained, but when he saw that Xiao Hua was about to open his mouth to say something, he immediately waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Hua, and said Make a decision.
Xiao Hua and Tatum also bid farewell and left the president's office.
David Stern looked at Xiao Hua's leaving figure, and felt a little dissatisfied with Xiao Hua in his heart. This guy's vision has limitations.
Rather than saying that Xiao Hua is a vice president, it is better to say that he is a pure businessman who cares too much about immediate interests.
There is nothing wrong with focusing on interests, but the behavior of killing chickens and taking eggs made Stern a little dissatisfied.
Especially Xiao Hua proposed to cooperate with Gaming Company ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to artificially manipulate the playoffs.
This was directly opposed by Stern, who was dissatisfied with him at that time.
But thinking of this guy's contribution before, he didn't make any punishment.
But he didn't expect that he would actually want to touch his own cash cow and his future plans.
This time, Stern was really angry.
The cleverness of Stern is that he never regards the fans as fools. In many games, the fans can see the ghost at a glance. Once or twice, the fans may not say anything, but the accumulated grievances will become more Once it breaks out, it is likely to bring a huge disaster to the alliance.
But immediately, it was also a headache that Lian Dao really did a little too much.
"I want to call that little guy from the Knicks to remind him!"
Stern muttered to himself.
