"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. This is the ESPN live room. I am Rachel Knicks, the host of tonight's game. Next to me are NBA superstar 'Smiling Assassin' and coach John Calley from the University of Kentucky.
Mr. Parry, please say hello to the audience across the country!"
"Hi, hello to all viewers across the country, my name is Isiah Thomas."
"Hello everyone, my name is John Calipari."
"Both of them are celebrities in the American basketball world. I would like to ask, do you know the word 'Linsanity'?"
"Oh~ are you serious? Rachel? Who in the entire United States doesn't know this word?" "Assassin" Thomas spread his hands and said slightly exaggeratedly.
"Of.course! As the 'Assassin' said, even in the college basketball world, it is spreading rapidly like bees." John Calipari also said.
"woooah~ It seems that everyone is very sensitive to new trends~" Rachel Nix, who was wearing professional formal attire, said: "Then let's talk about 'Linsanity' today!"
"Really?" Thomas smiled and said, "Are you sure ESPN paid us to come here just to let us talk about 'Linsanity'?"
"Mr. Assassin, hasn't the game started yet? We as hosts can't just sit there and let the audience stare at our faces in a daze, right?" Although Rachel Nix is a woman, there is no doubt that she
He has profound hosting skills, so there is no sense of awkwardness when answering questions with the "Smiling Assassin".
"That's true." Thomas said with a smile: "To be honest, when I heard this word for the first time, I thought it was wrongly broadcast on the news, which made me have a hard time looking for it."
&oo." John Calipari also nodded in agreement.
"But later, I was really shocked! A player who was not selected in the NBA draft actually started to have continuous outbreaks, and it was not just an explosion in statistics, including the Knicks' record, they have been winning consecutively, John,
What do you think this is going on?" Thomas asked John Calipari.
"Incredible, I can only use the word incredible to describe it! Looking at the entire basketball world, I have never heard of such a thing in the past hundred years! Let's take a look at his data last season.
Averaged 2.6 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, which is even worse than the water dispenser! But look at now, against the Nets, against All-Star point guard Deron, 25 points, 7 assists, 5
rebounds, and the shooting percentage is as high as 52.6%! What is this concept? Take the opposite Deron, for the same 19 shots, but his shooting percentage is only 36.8%! A difference of about 15%! Let’s look at the matchup again
The Jazz, oh~ is even more exaggerated, 28 points, 8 assists, and took less than 19 shots, a full 58.8% shooting rate! And against the Wizards, against No. 1 draft pick Wo Er, 23 points, 10 assists
, the shooting percentage almost broke through the sky, it was as high as 64.3%!!! If I didn't watch the game, I would have thought he was an inside player!" John Calipari said: "For this phenomenon, I can only say that it is 'God's fault'
Bless you, I heard that he is a devout Christian, maybe he did something that moved God at some point!"
"Okay~okay~John, you are a famous college coach and have also coached an NBA team. Then I want to ask you, if Lin was in your school, would you let him join the University of Kentucky basketball team?" "Smiling Assassin"
asked.
"Sorry, I probably won't," John Calipari said.
"Why? You just said that he is a player who has been 'blessed by God'?"
"That's a different matter, Isiah." John Calipari said: "Our Kentucky Wildcats have many real talents. In 2009, we were rated as the king of the NCAA's 330 first-class basketball schools by ESPN in 2009. 30 divisions
Tournament champions, 55 NCAA tournament finalists, 17 Final Four appearances, and of course our 8 championship trophies. These statistics fully demonstrate that our University of Kentucky is filled with talented people.
Got it!"
"wooo~ John, are you showing off? We all know that in 2009, the University of Kentucky provided you with a big contract worth 31.65 million for 8 years. It was definitely the highest salary in the college coaching world, but you don't have to help them like this.
'Advertise'!" "Smiling Assassin" complained.
"This is necessary." John Calipari did not hesitate and said frankly: "They promised that as long as I advertise for Kentucky tonight on ESPN national live broadcast, they will add new talent to my team.
A brand new liquid nitrogen recovery room, so you all know it!"
"Haha~ John, I always thought you were a serious and old-fashioned antique. I didn't expect the real you to be so interesting!"
"Oh~ Come on, Isiah, I'm only two years older than you, okay? Listening to what you said, people think I'm decades older than you!"
"Okay, gentlemen, the game is about to start, can we talk about the 'key points'?" Rachel Nix interjected with a slight dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, continuing the topic, why won't you let him join the basketball team at the University of Kentucky?"
"Isiah, are you serious? Do you really want to ask this question?" John Calipari suddenly asked in turn.
"Of course." "Smiling Assassin" said.
"Okay." John Calipari cleared his throat slightly and said: "You also play the guard position. What was the lineup of our Kentucky Wildcats during Jeremy Lin's college days? Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Pa.
Tesson, DeMarcus Cousins, and of course John Wall at point guard. Without exception, these people all entered the NBA in the first round in 2010. SO, you still need me to continue.
Answer?"
"Uh~ How could I have forgotten this! You are Wall's mentor, how could you recruit Lin?" Isiah Thomas said with a wry smile and shook his head.
"That's right." John Calipari said: "And if you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, it's not enough to just rely on 'God's blessing,' isn't it?"
"Well, it makes sense. I think so too. Besides, tonight, his good luck should come to an end. Kobe Bryant is not someone to be trifled with! And I also heard that the Black Mamba spread his word.
, he said he had never heard of Lin, and wondered how Lin would react after hearing the news?"
"What's the reaction? Could he still be able to fight the Black Mamba?" John Calipari said with a slightly mocking tone.
"Hey~ What if God chooses to side with him again?"
"Isiah, you and I both know, that's absolutely impossible, isn't it?" John Calipari said: "If he can still win today and continue his form, then I need to re-examine
This Asian!"
"Okay, the game will start soon, let's follow the camera and enter!"
…
"Hey, Jeremy, look, there's a yellow player on the opposite side?" said Tyson Chandler, who was warming up at the start of the game.
"What? Yellow people?" Jeremy Lin immediately looked back. This sight made him stunned.
This, this face is...
It's him?
Chinese perm?
He also came to the NBA?
"I know him." Jeremy Lin said.
"Do you know him? Judging from his height, he should be an inside center, right? What team did he play for before?" Tyson Chandler asked.
"NBDL Los Angeles Defenders." Jeremy Lin looked at that figure and didn't know what he was thinking for a moment.
"Oh? A player from the NBDL? What's his ability like?" Seeing that the opponent was also an inside player, Tyson Chandler asked one more question.
"Very strong, I remember he seemed to be the rebounding and shot-blocking leader of the NBDL." Jeremy Lin replied.
"The rebounding leader and the block leader?" Tyson Chandler was stunned after hearing this, but he quickly recovered and said: "So what? The NBDL data doesn't count at all! Various players who come to the NBA every year
King, are there still a few? But how many can fight? They are all just a bunch of rabble!"
When Jeremy Lin heard this, he did not answer, because he did not deny Tyson Chandler's words. If you perform well in the NBDL, you may not be able to succeed in the NBA. NBDL and NBA are completely different worlds!
However, I wish him the best to stay!
There is a great need for yellow faces in the NBA!
Jeremy Lin said silently in his heart.
