I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 450 Zhu Ba Iron Fist Appears in the NBA! (8K ask for a monthly ticket!!)

The other one is related to the 2005 rookie class.

Halfway through the season, whether the 2005 draft will win or lose, at this time there is an initial judgment.

There are many winners in this year's draft.

Marvin Williams, the No. 14.3 pick selected by the Bobcats, went to the Hawks at No. 5.2 in Williams history and didn’t have many performance opportunities, but he got a lot of opportunities in Charlotte, averaging [-] points and [-] rebounds per game, second only to Gera in scoring De Wallace was second on the team.

Charlie Villanueva, selected by the Raptors, is, yes, the eyebrowless hero in history who competed with the Arab League for the starting lineup, averaging 13 points per game;

Channing Frye, selected by the Knicks, is one of James' historical stars, averaging 12.3 points per game;

Nate Robinson, who was also selected by the Knicks, averaged 10.3 points per game and won this year's dunk champion;

Of course, the biggest winners this year are the Bulls and Hornets.

The Hornets selected Deron, and Deron also started a career that was different from the Jazz period in history.

As soon as he arrived on the team, he was trained as the core, and the pick-and-roll with West also flourished.

Although the Hornets have a mediocre record, he averaged 15.9 points and 6.7 assists per game, which is much better than the data in history, and he is also a strong contender for the best rookie.

Of course, the most promising rookie of the year is Chris Paul.

Paul played well in Chicago, averaging 15.8 points per game and not much different from history, but averaging as high as 8.8 assists per game.

The Bulls now have great hope of entering the playoffs, and Paul's voice is naturally the highest.

Some people may ask, why is there no second place Bogut in this?

The answer is that Bogut's overall performance is as real as it was against the Bulls and Lakers before, averaging only 7.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

不过进入到2月后，他的表现有一个很迅猛的提升，2月截至到现在场均12.3分8.8板2.3助攻。

The record of the Bucks has also improved significantly with his performance.

Of course, the most important thing is that he played a mutual explosive game with Yi Jianlian in the game against the Bulls not long ago.

Yi Jianlian scored 19 points and 9 rebounds, and he also had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and helped the Bucks successfully complete their revenge.

The performance of this section made Bogut a little carried away.

"He's getting the most buzz because he's on a better team, and I'm more likely to be the rookie of the year."

Since saying that he should be the No. [-] pick in the draft, Bogut's remarks once again pushed himself to the forefront.

But slowly, some fans found that this was like a self-marketing method of Bogut.

Because in the best rookie selection, Paul and Deron are the most mentioned names.

After Bogut's remarks came out, many people found that he performed well in February, and they really paid some attention to him.

Sun Hao was speechless when he saw the news.

Because of Bogut's typical "three days without fighting, the beam will be exposed"!

But the good news is that the Lakers will play against the Bucks again next week.

The two teams are in different divisions and have played against each other twice a season.

The last time he took Yi Jianlian's class and gave Bogut two consecutive blows, this time Bogut "raised his eyebrows" at Yi Jianlian and had to "beat him back to his original shape".

Because of that, it can be regarded as fulfilling the "see once and explode once" I said before.

The recent rotation of the Lakers has changed slightly. Phil Jackson began to use Payton and Sun Hao more in the starting backcourt.

This adjustment also means that Finley has changed from a starter to a substitute.

Moreover, Phil Jackson intends to train rookies in the second half of the season, giving Louis Williams and Zhu Fangyu some playing time, and Finley's playing time is even less than the original.

But these rookies of the Lakers can really seize the opportunity, not only Williams, but also Zhu Fangyu.

Although he has not scored yet, his performance in the limited time is remarkable.

This has to start with Kukoc.

Sun Hao's teammate when he was in Dallas, this season it is clear that he is here to mix the ring.

But if it's a pure bastard, the Lakers have probably already cut him.

Especially with so many high-quality players who were bought out before, the Lakers can definitely find a replacement for him.

But he stayed with the team in the end, not because his physical condition suddenly reached the level where he could play, but because of his role in training.

His game experience is of great help to the young players of the Lakers, even Walker, a swingman of the same type.

And he is happy to share those experiences, and Zhu Fangyu is one of the beneficiaries.

Time flies, and a week has passed in a blink of an eye. The Lakers have achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the past week, and continue to move forward steadily.

On this day, the Lakers rushed to the away game, ushering in the second game of the season against the Bucks.

At this point in the game, the competition for the playoffs is extremely fierce, especially for a team on the verge of the playoffs like the Bucks, the outcome of any game is critical.

So even in the face of the Lakers who had slaughtered them before, the goal of the Bucks is to strive for victory.

The Bradley Center was packed.

Although Milwaukee is a small city, and even their main stadium is still an old arena built in 1988, the enthusiasm of the fans here is not low.

All of this is due to the good team history of the Bucks. They won the championship in the third year of joining the NBA, and they also reached the Eastern Conference Finals several times in the following years. The team history is glamorous.

Of course, in recent years, with the disintegration of the well-known "Three Musketeers", the team has fallen into a short period of reconstruction.

However, within two years of rebuilding, they have harvested talented players like Reid and Bogut, and the fans are naturally in a good mood.

Especially Bogut, the No. [-] pick has performed extremely bravely recently, and his tough style of play has also made them love it, which makes the fans more enthusiastic about watching the game.

When warming up before the game, Bogut performed several dunks in a row.

Although the slam dunk is really not very enjoyable, it can be seen that he is a little excited.

But he wasn't the only one who was excited, Zhu Fangyu on the Lakers was also very happy shooting from the outside.

This is the case for anyone who has been holding back for most of the season and has a chance to play, let alone Zhu Fangyu's character.

After the warm-up before the game, the entrance ceremony began on the scene, and the starters of the two teams were introduced one after another.

For the Lakers, Payton, Sun Hao, Ariza, Walker and O'Neal.

Bucks side, Hinrich, Reed, Bobby Simmons, Bogut, Magloire.

The two teams met again after two months. The Lakers have undergone some changes, but the Bucks are still exactly the same.

The former champion Lang Qiao Smith, who was originally given high hopes by the management, can only sit on the bench after returning from injury.

This is where the competition in the NBA is brutal. For most NBA players, an injury can cost you a starter or even a job.

Of course, there will be exceptions. For example, Mourning had some physical reactions today, and Jackson directly arranged for him to take a rest.

This is a special treatment from the Hall of Fame veteran, and Jackson also counts on him to make a big difference in the playoffs.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

Magloire flicked the ball back into the half court to give the Bucks the first chance.

Hinrich held the ball for halftime, and the Bucks set up a double pick-and-roll from the free throw line.

Reed used the screen to make a fake shot and then split the ball. Bogut followed up with a pick-and-roll and scored a layup.

This round of the Bucks played smoothly, showing the effect of their running-in for a season in front of everyone.

And I have to say that Stotts is a capable coach. He made Bogut, who is more mobile, the end point, and made the copycat Twin Towers, which had no offensive ability, an offensive threat.

With this tactical adjustment, it is reasonable for Bogut to improve his performance.

Sun Hao responded immediately when he made a pick-and-roll three-pointer after running without the ball.

Letting Payton and Sun Hao start together means that Sun Hao will take on more scoring responsibilities on the offensive end.

This can also be seen from the offensive selection in the first round. In the past, when O'Neal was there, the Lakers always attacked from the inside first.

The Bucks repeated their tricks, and Bogut caught the ball again.

"boom!"

He got a big hat from O'Neill directly!

And he covered his head and face, almost made him dizzy.

Although O'Neal is heavy now, his movement speed is slow, which caused his defense in the first round to fail to keep up.

But if he used the same move twice in front of him, he completely ignored the big shark.

Before the Bucks could react, Walker, who got the ball, dribbled forward and made a fast break.

After successfully losing weight, his reaction and speed have greatly improved, and now he runs like a small forward.

Payton and Sun Hao made a double-line fast break, and Walker showed a reverse crotch and then passed the ball to Payton.

Payton was more direct, throwing the ball directly into the air.

Sun Hao soared into the air and smashed the ball towards the basket with one hand.

"Oh!"

A show from Lob City!

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

It was said that the scars were forgotten to hurt, but Sun Hao scored 81 points above their heads before, that was not as simple as cutting a wound and forming a scar.

To make an analogy, it can be said to be the pain of a broken arm!

That kind of pain will be remembered forever, so when Sun Hao scored 5 points in a row at the beginning of the game, let alone the fans, Stotts all stood on the sidelines.

Reid used the screen to drive to the basket again. This time he did not pass the ball again, but made a quick layup by himself.

"Snapped!"

But the moment he made the shot, O'Neill stretched out his hand and it was a catch!

After O'Neal gained weight, his physical energy consumption was much faster than before, but this is just the beginning, and he has plenty of physical energy without much participation in the offensive end, and the defensive end is overwhelming.

The Lakers had another wave of defensive counterattacks. This time Walker and Payton played a two-person game. Walker received a pass and scored a fast break layup.

The effect of Payton's starting is immediate. Whether it is position or fast break, the offensive threat of the Lakers is greater than when Finley started before.

2 is better than 7!

The venue of the game was changed from Los Angeles to Milwaukee, and the Bucks also got along better than before, but the situation remained unchanged, and the Bucks were still beaten as they were when the two teams played against each other last time.

Although during the warm-up before the game, the Bucks were riveting from top to bottom.

But in the face of absolute strength, those things are just clouds.

Because of the excellent record of the Mavericks, many people don't pay as much attention to the Lakers as they did at the beginning of the season.

But in fact, as the season progressed, veterans such as Mourning and Payton began to really find their game status, and the Lakers' performance became more and more stable.

Just like playing games, stability is the scariest thing.

In history, the Spurs have been able to maintain a championship team for nearly 20 years, relying on that kind of stability.

After the first quarter, the score on the court was 16 to 30. The Bucks trailed the Lakers by 14 points in a single quarter.

Sun Hao scored 5 points in a row at the beginning, but "only" scored 13 points in one quarter.

That's it, the Bucks have been beaten without much temper.

No matter how they toss, one wave of impact, two waves of counterattack and three waves of charge, they just can't be beaten.

Stotts realized that the game was wrong, and at the beginning of the second quarter, he sent such a lineup:

Mo Williams, Hinrich, Bobby Simmons, Joe Smith, Bogut.

This lineup has three starters and two substitutes, obviously rushing to chase points.

For the Lakers, Louis Williams, Christie, Zhu Fangyu, Walker, Anderson.

Phil Jackson still follows his style of play in the past few games, giving rookies more playing time.

Even tonight he only let Finley play 4 minutes in the second half of the first quarter, and then replaced him.

In the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead, and Louis Williams passed Mo Williams' defense and quickly broke through for a layup.

However, the common problem of rookies is that they lack experience. Louis didn't notice Bogut, who was assisting in defense, and was directly blocked by Bogut after the shot.

On the next possession, Mo Williams missed a pull-up jumper after a breakthrough.

The two teams each have a Williams and a surname, and they also have one thing in common in their style of play.

However, Bogut quickly grabbed the offensive rebound and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand after the second take-off.

Without O'Neal and without Mourning, Bogut's offense and defense can be regarded as very cool against a jumper like Anderson.

After the dunk, Bogut punched and roared, and the wolf king seemed extremely excited.

He was so angry after being beaten by O'Neal in the first quarter, now he finally vented his anger for himself.

But right away, the rookies on the Lakers side showed why they could get a chance to play.

Zhu Fangyu received a breakthrough point from Louis Williams in the bottom corner, and hit a three-pointer with a knife!

This is the first score of his NBA career!

This goal made the Lakers' bench boil.

This ball is perfect no matter from the shooting posture, follow-up action, shooting arc or result.

Before this, they might not have imagined that besides Sun Hao, there was anyone else in the Lakers who could shoot three-pointers so beautifully.

"Three-point shooting must be your Chinese tradition, just like Kung Fu."

O'Neill even smiled and talked to Sun Hao while stretching out his hand and making kung fu moves.

Sun Hao nodded seriously this time.

The Chinese team's Xiaokuailing style of play in the last century requires accurate projection.

Don't favor the past over the present. At that time, the Chinese team's three-pointers were comparable to South Korea's in Asia.

The point that three-pointers are one point more than two-pointers is also revealed at this time, and the morale of the Lakers on the field is obviously better than that of the Bucks.

Reflected on the defensive end, the Lakers defended the Bucks almost 24 seconds away.

Hinrich's last strong three-pointer missed the basket, and the Lakers played a beautiful defense.

However, Bogut jumped ahead of Anderson and directly made up the score!

Mourning can't play, Bogut is a bit arbitrary in the paint at this time point!

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that after Bogut made the dunk, he yelled at Zhu Fangyu, who was late to help defend:

"Chinese people are rubbish!"

This sentence stunned Zhu Fangyu.

It's not that he can't understand this sentence in English. After half a year in the United States, he can't speak it fluently, but he can still understand it.

It's because he didn't know that Bogut hated China, and he couldn't understand why Bogut would yell such words at him after making up the deductions.

"Say it again!"

But after reacting in a daze, he pointed at Bogut and yelled.

How could he bear such a violent temper!

Of course Bogut didn't say it again, Zhu Fangyu understands English, but he doesn't understand Chinese!

But from Zhu Fangyu's expression and movements, he could also guess that it was not a good word, and he was not afraid that Zhu Fangyu was not Mourning.

Australians are aggressive and ruthless, so he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight Zhu Fangyu.

Zhu Fangyu saw the blood all over his body and the top of his head, and was about to show off his Taizu Changquan.

However, the conflict between the two was under the noses of everyone. The players and referees on both sides quickly intervened, and the short-term conflict was quickly quelled.

The game entered a technical timeout.

"That guy is inexplicable!"

Zhu Fangyu returned to the bench with a displeased look on his face.

"He was beaten up by me and Ah Lian more times, and he is not happy with us."

Sun Hao didn't say that Bogut was in love with Yi Jianlian when he explained it, but used a very easy-to-understand reason.

And this reason is indeed the reason why Bogut will spout that kind of trash talk.

Because he couldn't beat Sun Hao, Yi Jianlian, including Yao Ming, and if Zhu Fangyu was caught, he would naturally vent his anger when he had the opportunity.

"Street cub!"

Zhu Fangyu cursed.

This is because I think he is a bully!

"Don't be impulsive, just play your own game well. Your chance to play is hard to come by. Don't ruin yourself because of a piece of garbage."

Seeing Zhu Fangyu's impulsiveness, Sun Hao seemed to repeat the fight with Lebanon in the 2001 Asian Championships at any time, and reminded him.

This is also a good reminder.

This is not a matter of counseling or not, but that Zhu Fangyu's situation is indeed different from Bogut's.

Although Bogut did not become the No. [-] pick as in history, he is still the No. [-] pick. The team's tolerance for him is different.

But Zhu Fangyu is a second-round pick, and he can get the chance to play thanks to Jackson's rotation adjustment.

This is also likely to be Zhu Fangyu's only chance in the NBA. If he and Bogut really fight, Kupchak will be laid off.

Again, there are a bunch of veterans out there waiting to join the Lakers.

"Just pretend he farted just now."

Zhu Fangyu nodded unwillingly after listening.

Sun Hao patted Zhu Fangyu on the shoulder with a smile after listening.

When he plays next time, he will clean up Bogut.

The sentence that Chinese people are all rubbish is a serious map gun.

Back from the technical timeout, Bogut and Zhu Fangyu each received a technical foul.

Phil Jackson did not replace Zhu Fangyu.

Every coach has his own coaching style. Jackson is not the kind who is afraid of getting into trouble. On the contrary, he will support his own players when encountering such things.

The game continued, Christie assisted, and Louis Williams made a mid-range jumper.

Stotts blushed.

He made three starts in one breath in the second quarter, trying to make a time difference to catch up with the score.

But after playing for almost 2 minutes, not only did he not catch up with a point, but the Lakers further opened the score!

Bogut leaned against Anderson for the ball in the low post, Hinrich lobbed the ball in, and Bogut hit Anderson hard with his back.

His post-up technique is excellent, and his left and right hooks are very stable, so when he started post-up, he was full of confidence.

After a turn around Anderson, he made an effort to dunk directly.

There is nothing wrong with his offensive play, but it is obvious that the previous consecutive offensive rebounds made him underestimate Anderson's strength.

Although Anderson's defensive ability is mediocre, he can't hold back and can jump. Bogut hit him hard with such a hard hit.

He saw the right moment, and slapped him sideways.

"boom!"

Before Bogut could dunk the ball to the basket, he was slapped and slapped out of the court by Anderson!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Anderson has a long wingspan, coupled with his thin body, the visual effect explodes.

Bogut was stunned for a while.

He just got called a technical foul, turned around and got blocked for a dunk!

Mind blowing!

The Bucks continued to serve the sideline ball, and Mo Williams missed a three-pointer from the outside.

Anderson was full of confidence after a block, jumped high and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Lakers played a defensive counterattack, and Zhu Fangyu ran the ball very fast.

After Williams dribbled the ball for halftime, a long pass was sent to Zhu Fangyu.

Another cooperation between two rookies from the Lakers!

And this ball Zhu Fangyu held back his strength, rushed to the inside and directly raised his hands to dunk the ball into the basket!

Zhu Fangyu scored 5 points at once!

"Whoa whoa!"

O'Neal marveled from the bench.

He may not know enough about Chinese players. In addition to three-pointers, Chinese players also dunk so vigorously!

Phil Jackson couldn't help laughing at this time, and reached out to rub his beard under his jaw.

His expectations for Zhu Fangyu were actually very low, but Zhu Fangyu's tough performance after the conflict made him have significantly higher expectations for the Chinese player.

Having said that, he gave Zhu Fangyu a chance during the trial training at the beginning of the season, also because of Zhu Fangyu's character.

Bobby Simmons used Bogut to cover, and still missed a three-pointer from the outside!

Playing basketball is like this sometimes, the more you need to score, the more you miss the shot!

After Stotts saw it, he called Reed ahead of time. At this time, superstars are needed to break the scoring shortage.

But at this moment, an unexpected scene suddenly happened on the field.

Anderson took another defensive rebound, turned around and handed it to Walker, and the Lakers were ready to launch a defensive counterattack.

Zhu Fangyu tasted the sweetness in front, and the ball also turned around and ran to the frontcourt.

This is the fastest mode for him to get 2k points.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Bogut grabbed Zhu Fangyu's shoulder.

This is a very dangerous and malicious move on the pitch.

Because the player is rushing forward, you pull the shoulder back, and it is likely to break the person's shoulder blade.

In joking terms, he almost invited Zhu Fangyu to drink Lafite.

Zhu Fangyu's reaction speed was fairly fast, and she didn't rush forward after feeling being pulled, but was pulled back and fell to the ground.

This action shows that Zhu Fangyu has a strong sense of self-prevention on the court.

But this also corresponds to the saying: often walking by the river, there is no way that your shoes will not get wet.

To extend it: How can you not have a little precaution when you often fight on the court!

After falling down, Zhu Fangyu turned over in the next second without saying anything, and just waved a punch at Bogut who turned around.

Before Bogut could react, he felt a heavy blow on the left side of his cheek.

That iron-hard fist hit his head with a buzzing sound!

Zhu Ba Iron Fist, I'm just kidding with you!

Bogut stretched out his hand instinctively to protect himself in pain, but in the next second, Zhu Fangyu's uppercut struck from below.

A right uppercut followed by an uppercut, Zhu Fangyu is a proper trainer!

Even if Bogut leaned back, his chin was still grazed by the corner of the fist, and he was almost dislocated!

This happened too suddenly, and the players on both sides were making fast breaks and defending fast breaks.

After Zhu Fangyu finished these two punches, the team members from both sides came over and pulled them apart.

At this time, Bogut's face hurts and his jaw hurts. Looking at the fierce Zhu Fangyu over there, it's like seeing a ghost.

Damn, is this Chinese a ball player or a boxer? !

The game was forced to enter a technical timeout again.

Looking at Zhu Fangyu who was still angry, Sun Hao's mood was a bit complicated at this moment.

As he said before, he didn't want Zhu Fangyu to really have a big conflict with Bogut.

But Bogut's action just now was really too much, and he wouldn't be able to bear it, so he didn't think Zhu Fangyu was too impulsive.

Only in this way, Zhu Fangyu's future with the Lakers becomes difficult to say.

This pause will last much longer than the previous one.

Before the palace of Auburn Hills caused the league's image to be greatly damaged, Stern paid special attention to this area, and he was severely punished for fighting.

Sure enough, after a lengthy video playback, the referee made a penalty.

Bogut received a first-level malicious foul, and Zhu Fangyu received a second-level malicious foul.

Because both of them had already had technical fouls before, this meant that both of them were expelled from the field at the same time.

And for Zhu Fangyu, the league fined him and added a suspension after the game is basically unavoidable.

The Bucks are already at the bottom, and if Bogut is expelled, their disadvantage will be even greater.

But in fact, whether Bogut is there or not, the result is already doomed.

Bogut was sent off early, only to speed up the process.

In the end, the Lakers slaughtered the Bucks again with 113 to 86 in the away game without bloodshed, completing the season sweep of their opponents.

Sun Hao's performance in the first quarter was very flat, but after the conflict between Bogut and Zhu Fangyu, he worked hard.

After the final three quarters, he scored a game-high 41 points, allowing the Bucks fans to relive the "81-point night" two months ago.

Of course, whether it is Sun Hao's 41 points or the final result of this game, it is not the focus of this game.

In the press conference after the game, whether it was the Bucks as the home team or the Lakers as the visiting team, they were all asked about the conflict in the game.

The choice of Bucks coach Stotts is to avoid talking about it.

"I'm sure the league will look into it."

This is his final answer.

When it came to the Lakers, Sun Hao took the initiative to answer this question.

"Fighting is a very bad thing, no matter who it is, it must be punished by the league."

Sun Hao's first sentence was a bit like "killing relatives with righteousness".

But this sentence sounds like a foreshadowing.

Sure enough, after saying this sentence, Sun Hao immediately had a turning point.

"But I don't think Zhu's choice was wrong. The trash talk Bogut said at the time was not a personal attack, but it was better than a personal attack."

When Sun Hao said this, he emphasized his tone.

Not everyone was present, and the reporters in the audience looked at Sun Hao curiously.

"Bogut attacked our country, and I don't think anyone would allow someone else to attack their country, that's inexcusable."

Sun Hao continued.

After he finished speaking, the reporters below were agitated.

The movies that Americans like to make most are patriotic.

The so-called what a country lacks the most needs more. Unlike the Chinese who are so patriotic from the bottom of their hearts, the United States needs film promotion.

So as soon as this is mentioned, it can resonate with many people.

This is called political correctness.

Jackson couldn't help but look sideways at this time.

He also heard the phrase "Chinese people are all rubbish". He didn't think much of it when he heard it, but he also felt that it was too much for Sun Hao to say that.

He didn't even notice that he was "incited" by Sun Hao.

The reporter knew Sun Hao's attitude, and then asked Phil Jackson about his opinion on this matter.

"We'll take whatever penalty the league makes, that's what he deserves, but we're not going to impose additional penalties on him."

Jackson stated his position directly, how could he punish a patriotic player?

Sun Hao let out a long breath after hearing this.

Although Jackson's words do not represent the final decision of the Lakers management, but since he has spoken, the management will buy his account.

In other words, these words of Jackson are tantamount to "keeping" Zhu Fangyu.

After finishing the press conference, Sun Hao thanked Jackson after leaving the conference site.

"You don't need to thank me. Zhu and you are teammates in the national team. If the management really wants to do something, they will definitely ask for your opinion."

Jackson said with a smile.

Although Sun Hao only helped the Lakers win a championship, his status and influence are already enormous, and it is impossible for the Lakers not to consider his opinion.

This is, see clearly!

"Although I think Zhu's method is too aggressive, but he didn't do it well. To deal with any opponent, you have to use what kind of means."

Jackson went on to add.

Sun Hao nodded with a smile.

Although Jackson is often mysterious and unpredictable, at least this incident shows that he is still very good to the players.

Then again, that's probably one of the reasons why he's able to control teams with so many superstars.

After chatting with Jackson, Sun Hao returned to the locker room.

At this moment, he noticed that Finley's expression was a little lonely.

Speaking of which, the most troubled thing for the Lakers recently is this "cow boy" who has been with him for the longest time.

(End of this chapter)
