He just played basketball and became the chosen one.
Chapter 38 038: The draft reward has begun to show its magical power. I don’t even need to enter the
Before Tim Duncan in 1997, the top pick in the draft almost never played in summer league.
Most lottery picks, not just the No. 1 pick, have little interest in playing in summer league.
This kind of game used to be reserved for low-ranking rookies and veterans to prove themselves.
But since Duncan started playing in summer league, the event has become more and more popular.
Up to now, it has almost become the only way for rookies to enter the NBA.
Today is undoubtedly another milestone day for the NBA Summer League.
Because of Ryan's appearance, the scale of the summer league has completely changed!
Although Duncan played in the summer league for the first time in 1997, it set a precedent for the top pick to participate in the summer league.
But summer leagues are still very niche, often only played in high school or college gymnasiums, with few live audiences, and generally not broadcast live on television.
But what about today? The summer league is not only broadcast live across the country, but also has more than 50 million people watching the live broadcast in China!
For Chinese fans, summer league is no stranger. Because in 1996, the national team participated in the summer league.
The most impressive game at that time was probably the one in which the national team was beaten by the Lakers' summer league team by 20 points.
A young man named Steak also rose to prominence in the Chinese basketball world.
Therefore, domestic fans are relatively familiar with the NBA Summer League.
Last year, Yao Ming did not play in the summer league because of the World Championships.
This year, when Ryan participated in the summer league, Stern learned what the mysterious power from the East was.
He really didn't expect that in just a summer league, the number of people watching this game in China would already reach 50 million!
The summer league is like this, but if it comes to the regular season, why don't we just take off?
In addition to China, Lane's influence in North America is also significant.
Not to mention anything else, the Pepsi Center was filled with 19,000 people today, which has already broken the record for the number of live fans in the Summer League!
Because of Ryan's appearance, the summer league has completely transformed from a small warm-up match into a well-known and popular event!
Ryan walked onto the court amid cheers, his eyes fixed on Stoudemire.
But at this time, a huge figure walked out of the player tunnel and caught Ryan's attention.
A huge cheer immediately came from the scene.
Ryan took a closer look and found that the person coming was actually O'Neal!
This is probably the first time that a superstar has come to watch a summer league game in person!
After all, O'Neal is also the spokesperson of Reebok, so it is reasonable for Reebok to ask him to support and increase the popularity of this game.
After O'Neal entered the court, he went straight to Ryan, who was already on the court, and hugged him:
"Hello, Ryan! I've heard for a long time that you are very powerful, so show off your skills today!
Come on, if you play well, I will suggest to the management to trade Kobe Bryant for you! "
Ryan smiled bitterly. O'Neal truly loved Kobe. He spent the entire summer league thinking about replacing Kobe.
Seeing Ryan smiling bitterly, O'Neal patted his chest:
"What? Don't you believe it? Let me tell you, my status in the Lakers is so high that the management has to listen to me.
If Kobe is here, then I won’t do it! When the time comes, Kobe must leave!
And you my friend, you are the perfect person for our deal! "
What else could Ryan say? I could only nod my head: "Ah, Brother Shark is right!"
After O'Neal said hello to Ryan, he returned to his seat. At this time, the reporter also carried the camera and conducted a face-to-face interview:
"Shaq, did you come here specifically to watch this game!?"
"Otherwise? Are you here to watch Charles Barkley twerking on the court? If there is such a show, then I have to come!"
"So Shaq, how do you think Ryan will perform today?"
"When I participated in the All-Star Game last year, many people were saying that Ryan, who was crazy in the NCAA, could be directly selected for this year's All-Star Game.
My reaction at the time was: Oh my God, what did you say? Will a freshman directly participate in the All-Star Game? I'm afraid it's not just players who have never played in the NCAA who would brag like this. Oh, I said it's not Kobe, don't over-interpret it.
Out of curiosity, I then watched all of Ryan's March Madness games.
Then, I realized.
Damn it, luckily Ryan is playing in the NCAA, otherwise a poor guy would have been kicked out of the All-Star team!
So, you know what I mean? Ryan is already an All-Star player!
You're asking me if an All-Star player can perform well in the Summer League?
I don't even have to answer such a stupid question! "
O'Neal blew Ryan up to the heavens in front of the camera. This guy is like Shark. When he likes you, he can be both affectionate and devoted.
But after breaking up with you, I can also turn against you directly.
People's expectations for Ryan were already very high, but Shark's further push has raised everyone's expectations to a higher level.
Nike was so dumbfounded with laughter that he praised him again and again.
The higher you hold it now, the more painful it will be when you fall!
According to Nike's experience, it is often difficult for rookies to perform well in their first summer league game.
Ryan is definitely going to turn the tables today!
Both sides started the game, and Stoudemire was already starting to get a little impatient.
Out here today, everyone was talking about Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.
So annoying!
I am the best rookie, but I seem to be a little transparent here!
Xiao Si couldn't wait to regain his face as soon as possible and avenge last year's running away with a bucket.
Stoudemire believes that he is completely different after playing in the NBA for one year.
I must let that immature lion know the true horror of the jungle!
On the Suns side, there are two newly drafted rookies and three second-year players in the starting lineup, namely:
The No. 28 pick this year is Brazilian Lightning Barbosa, fourth-year forward Donnell Harvey who is working hard to stay in the NBA, second-year white forward Casey Jacobson, the best rookie Stoudemire and the Polish center.
Yes, it's really the 2.18-meter center from Poland, second-year player Cesari Trebanski.
For the Nuggets, the starters are undrafted Julio Harrington, 2002 second-round pick Vincent Yarbrough, No. 1 pick Ryan, last year's No. 5 pick Nikros Skotishvili and last year's No. 7 pick. Number show category.
At first glance, the Nuggets' summer league roster seems okay, after all, it has three lottery picks.
But in fact, only Ryan and Nene have some fighting ability.
What? Are you talking about the No. 5 pick, Skotishvili, whose name is comparable to Giannis Antetokounmpo?
He is simply the product of the Nuggets being deceived.
D'Antoni once led this guy when he was coaching in Europe, and he was blown away by it.
And because D'Antoni had been the head coach of the Nuggets before, the Nuggets management trusted the mustache so much that they selected him at No. 5 without even sending anyone to inspect Scotishvili. .
As a result, even though this guy averaged 3.9 points per game last season, his shooting percentage in the post was only 29.3%.
That's right, the total season shooting percentage is only 29.3%, and he is still an inside player!
Looking at the entire history of the league, you would be hard-pressed to find a player with more explosive efficiency than this.
You might say that it is normal for rookie players to be inefficient in their first year, but this guy has been inefficient throughout his career!
Skotishvili made a total of 626 shots throughout his NBA career, but missed 436 of them, with a career shooting percentage of only 30%!
If his career lasts longer, it will be Kobe's turn to sit on the Iron Throne of the NBA.
Although he is 2.13 meters tall, he has no scoring ability in the paint.
This guy's only offensive method is to stand on the outside to catch the pass from his teammates, and then use his arms to throw the ball out. Regardless of whether he scores or not, as long as he can successfully throw the ball, it means that he has done his best to complete his task.
Being able to avoid making mistakes and not being blocked is the greatest help to the team.
So, while there are three lottery picks on the surface, one of them is actually worse than an undrafted pick.
Ryan's team is not easy to lead.
The two sides stood still, and Stoudemire looked at Ryan with a smile: "Long time no see, bastard!"
"Have we met? Sorry, there are too many players who can't even score in double digits above me. I really can't remember who you are, sorry."
Yes, this tastes right!
What Stoudemire experienced last summer was this feeling of soaring blood pressure but being powerless!
This familiar feeling made Xiao Si even more irritable.
The moment the game started, Stoudemire flew into the air with all his strength and gave the ball to the Brazilian Lightning Barbosa.
Barbossa just pressed the accelerator button and passed Harrington cleanly.
Brazil's lightning speed is well deserved.
The Brazilian got inside, attracted the defense, and smashed the ball directly toward the backboard.
The next second, the basket became "dark". Stoudemire flew into the penalty area, received the basketball that rebounded after hitting the board, and dunked with both hands!
Whether on the football field, basketball court or fighting field, Brazilians are always artists on the tip of a knife.
They will never play a boring game. As soon as the game started, Barbosa and Stoudemire played a top-five ball-level cooperation!
Ryan looked at Skotishvili, who was responsible for defending Stoudemire, and sighed.
This stupid guy with a shooting percentage of less than 30% just stood under the basket and watched, not even bothering to stretch his hands.
Just when you think his offense is bad enough, his defense can still surprise you!
If this is put aside 20 years later, the draft template must be Mrs. Wang!
On offense, he can occasionally score a goal, but on defense, he really can't guard anyone!
After watching Stoudemire dunk, Skotishvili scratched his head in embarrassment: "Oh, I almost blocked it."
Ryan:.
Your reflex arc is longer than your name!
Will Ryan continue to defend Stoudemire like he did last year? Come on, whoever this Denver Antetokounmpo plays in front of will get a Jordan Experience Card.
With him on the court, the Nuggets' defense is four-on-five.
Today's situation is definitely impossible to prevent.
We can only fight attack with attack!
In the Nuggets' offensive round, Julio Harrington controlled the ball past halftime.
As soon as Ryan made a reverse run in an attempt to get rid of his opponent Casey Jacobson, he found that Lianliang actually took the initiative to cover without the ball.
Although the summer league is considered a professional game, the coach will basically not arrange any tactics.
But Lei Lei's spontaneous pick-and-roll without the ball was very timely.
Although he looks wild, he actually has a very high golf quotient.
When he got older, he still played vigorously when playing pick-and-rolls with Harden in the Rockets. His pick-and-roll awareness and subconscious awareness were very strong.
So even if there was no tactical arrangement just now, he could help Ryan provide an off-ball screen just right.
This name has been banned by the Chinese Internet. Searching for "Class Collection" on the short video APP can bring up a lot of good stuff for a man. It's not easy!
Jacobson was originally very slow, but after being blocked by Luanliang like this, Ryan immediately got a big open space in the middle distance!
Seeing this, Harrington immediately passed the ball to Ryan.
In the summer league, the Suns don't have much sense of defense.
Ryan just caught the ball and shot easily. People who were careful noticed that Ryan's shooting action changed slightly. The shooting point was shorter, but the shooting speed was much faster.
The basketball hit the net without any suspense, 2 to 2, and Ryan hit the target with his first shot in the summer league!
Ryan pointed at the class to express his gratitude. He was indeed the only one among this group of people who could seriously play the role of rotation. His abilities and consciousness were just different.
But Stoudemire wasn't nervous, it was just an ordinary mid-range shot, nothing.
After a defensive play, Lei Lei took the initiative to confront Stoudemire.
But Barbosa used a breakaway jumper to defeat Harrington.
4 to 2, the on-site commentator couldn't help but shake his head: "Barbosa and Stoudemire were an OK combination in the summer league!"
But Xiaosi didn't have time to be happy for a long time, but he heard the sound of "swipe" again.
Ryan once again used off-the-ball running to get rid of the white and slow Jacobson, and scored a jumper from the mid-range in the bottom corner!
Stoudemire is convinced, but where is Jacobson and Skotishvili on the other side!
Except for your different heights, there seems to be no difference between you two!
There is no guarantee of success in shooting, and there is no guarantee of success in defense!
One round later, Ryan once again easily used a similar off-ball screen to get rid of Jacobson and got a chance in the mid-range.
This time, even Stoudemire, who didn't like to defend, couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to help defend.
Seeing this, Ryan hit the ground and passed it to Liang, who immediately obeyed. Although Ryan's passing attributes are not high, he can still pass this simple ball.
The Brazilian caught the ball and went inside, facing the 2.18-meter Polish center.
Although the confrontation is fierce, don't forget that Liangliang is also Brazilian. His handwork when laying up is very delicate and his finishing ability is extremely strong.
Therefore, although he was a strong player with a small skill and although the confrontation was fierce, Lei Lei still used his delicate handwork to successfully score the ball!
6 to 4!
Stoudemire was very embarrassed. In order to help his teammates make up for others, he scored on his own matchup. Now the media must say that I am not good at defending?
The more Ryan and Liang fought, the more they understood each other, their eyes became more and more ambiguous, and the green grassland above Harris' head grew longer and longer.
Angua: Oh, I have been scummed by Ryan a long time ago!
Wade: Heh, what does it mean for me to be abandoned as soon as I hit him?
Stoudemire knew that this was not the way to go, and after spending a year in the NBA, he began to use trash talk to try to provoke Ryan into rushing inside:
"Ryan, are you kidding? Shooting from the outside? Is this the most high-profile No. 1 pick in history?
bring it on! Come at me head on! Can you fight like a man? "
But this kind of childish provocation is of no use to a social veteran like Ryan.
Instead, Ryan said to Stoudemire: "Come on, if I beat you, I don't even need to enter the three-second zone!"
"Ah, I don't know how to reply to this, please say it again!"
Stoudemire is simply enough, every time he and Ryan squirt, he will be squirted speechless!
You don’t have to enter the three-second zone to hit me? OK, I want to see how accurately you can shoot today!
Isn't it just a few mediocre open mid-range shots? Okay, let me see how you can win if you don’t enter the three-second zone!
Stoudemire knows that Ryan now has a certain mid-range shooting ability, but scoring mainly depends on attacking the frame.
He really doesn't believe you can kill the game with shooting!
But after a few rounds.
"Ryan, without the ball, went to the right side of the mid-range. No one was guarding him. He caught the ball and shot.
besides! God, it's 6 out of 6!
Ryan's mid-range shot is so stable, he is simply a shooting machine!
Ryan made 6 of 6 shots in the beginning and has already scored 12 points with a 100% shooting rate!
Once he gets a chance in the mid-range, there will be no accidents! "
At this time, the Denver fans at the scene were also going crazy.
Their top pick did not disappoint!
Although Ryan basically took wide-open shots today, in a serious game, it is not easy to make 6 of 6 shots from wide open positions!
When a mediocre mid-range shot makes a 100% hit rate, this matter is no longer ordinary!
Ryan's mid-range shooting attribute is not high, only 70. Including the hot zone bonus for catching and shooting, it is only 75.
Even if it is a pure vacancy, this attribute cannot be guaranteed to be so stable.
But don't forget, the "Opportunist" talent fragment that Ryan drew before can greatly improve the stability of open shots!
Therefore, Ryan's mid-range shot today was ridiculously accurate!
And the shot speed bonus of Jerry West's shooting package means that once Ryan gets an open position, he will no longer give the opponent a chance to interfere.
Ryan has been practicing this shooting action during this period, and his proficiency is very high, and he can fully utilize the bonus.
In addition, Ryan himself felt very good today, so it is not surprising that he scored 6 for 6.
Today, the talent fragments and action packs obtained as rewards from the draft made Ryan say how delicious they are! His confidence in the mid-range has undoubtedly increased a lot!
Of course, special praise should be given here to the Suns' No. 3 positions Jacobson and Stoudemire.
From the beginning to now, Jacobson failed to follow Ryan even once, allowing Ryan to easily get 6 open opportunities!
In order to prevent his direct matchup from scoring, Stoudemire also chose not to help defend Ryan, watching helplessly as Ryan took easy shots again and again.
Denver fans really cried to death, it was the first time they were beaten so cooperatively.
The Suns' shoddy defense and Ryan's solid open jump shots were a match made in heaven.
After Ryan made 6 of 6 shots, the Suns paused the game.
Everyone in Xiaosi is stupid, you kid really doesn’t enter the three-second zone! ?
Scouts and fans also swallowed their saliva. How long has it been since March Madness?
Can Ryan's shooting improve to this extent?
At this growth rate, Ryan will undoubtedly become a superstar!
Reebok’s 120 million is a huge profit!
O'Neal was also drooling. He was tortured by Kobe's random shots and crazy strikes. When he saw Ryan playing so reasonably and efficiently, he was really moved.
Not to mention, we must force the Lakers to trade Kobe for Ryan.
If Ryan doesn't come, then I won't do it either!
Ryan hit 6 of 6 in this wave, meeting the fans' expectations for him.
Of course, fans and on-site commentators are also discussing when Ryan will miss the first goal of the day. After all, this kind of hit rate cannot be maintained forever.
Stoudemire is also waiting. When Ryan's shooting starts to fluctuate, it will be the day when the team turns around!
After all, when it comes to shooting, no matter how wide the open space is, there will always be times when you miss the shot.
He can't be this accurate all the time!
No matter how amazing Ryan is, he can't miss a single shot in the entire game, right?
It shouldn't be possible, right?
5K big chapter is here for you. There is no one as updated as Lao He in the public period. Lao He, a conscientious man, begs for monthly votes, rewards, and reading! Thank you foster father!
