The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 40 40. Rookie Ranking

April 11

After the Magic team defeated the Celtics yesterday, the name of the first-year freshman Su Jiu once again made a lot of noise on the Internet.

This time it was not only because he was a point guard, but Su Jiu scored 5 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists.

It was also because of Su Jiu's fighting spirit in the last game.

Some fans on the Internet made an edit of the video of Su Jiu hitting the inside and grabbing rebounds again and again in the last game, and added a more sensational soundtrack, as well as the words of the little man's counterattack, which attracted tears from many uninformed people.

In Su Jiu's opinion, this is chicken soup for the soul, but it doesn't change the fact that Su Jiu's name has gradually entered the field of vision of most people.

Videos of Su Jiu's hard work on the field again and again, plus the interview incident that just came out not long ago.

This is also to let more people know that Su Jiu will train in the arena in Orlando at four o'clock in the morning every day.

Coupled with this hard-working state on the court, more and more people have regarded him as a target, because the current Su Jiu is a standard example of a small character's counterattack in the NBA.

Many soft-hearted fans even began to feel sorry for Su Jiu, thinking that Su Jiu must have suffered too much to get to where he is today.

First he failed in the draft, and then he finally won a contract with his own efforts, and now it has gradually spread in the basketball circle. There must have been too many hardships along the way, so more and more people began to admire Su Jiu's spirit.

That is to say, the current Su Jiu doesn't have time to care about all this, otherwise he will definitely reply with doubts on his face:

"I literally just got hit by a basketball..."

And now the overwhelming publicity of the outside world has some small relationship with the reporter's interview with Garnett after the last game.

Because in the second half of the second quarter, Su Jiu and Garnett had a fierce physical confrontation, and that confrontation also caused Su Jiu in the air to lose his balance directly and fell heavily to the ground.

Just when everyone was very worried, Su Jiu gritted his teeth and stood up with the support of his teammates.

During that period of time, Su Jiu and Garnett had some interactions, but the others didn't know what they said between them.

So the reporters after the game also asked Garnett about the collision on the court. Garnett, who has always been talking trash on the court, gave Su Jiu a high evaluation.

Facing questions from the media, he said bluntly:

"That's a really tough guy. I've been in the league for 13 years and I've seen all kinds of guys on the court, but that guy was really different."

"To be honest, I didn't know him at all before that, until after that, when I knew that he was just an undrafted pick this year, I was really shocked, because this kind of person would be undrafted in the draft. It's a joke."

"His spirit of fighting to win on the court really made me see the shadow of my youth, rushing to the inside again and again, and falling to the ground again and again. He is really a strong boy."

With the outflow of Garnett's praiseworthy video, more and more teams began to re-examine this undrafted pick named Su Jiu.

Because if it is just a unilateral report by the media, although it will resonate with the fans, it is not enough to get the attention of the teams.

Because the media always like to catch rumors and exaggerate some small things to gain attention and earn traffic.

But when a player is recognized by his opponents on the field, then this player is truly admirable.

What's more, the one who praised Su Jiu was Kevin Garnett, one of the Big Three in the league.

Everyone in the league knows that Garnett is the well-known king of trash talk in the league.

Even Noah, who once regarded him as an idol, was scolded and cried by Garnett on the court when he first entered the league.

So if Garnett can be praised, then this player must have other advantages.

What's more, this player is still a rookie who just entered the league this year.

While the outside world was making a fuss, the NBA officially launched the latest best rookie list.

Derrick Rose of the Bulls currently lives up to expectations, temporarily ranking first with 17.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.

And ranked second is OJ Mayo, who has always been known as a genius.

Because of the relationship with the team's record, although the current Mayo can contribute 18.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, he can still only follow Rose and temporarily rank second in the rookie list.

No one is too surprised that these two players are currently ranked first and second in the rookie rankings.

The only thing that makes people talk is that Beasley, who entered the league as the No. [-] player, is currently in a slump and has been left behind for the time being.

But what really shocked people was that Su Jiu, the undrafted pick from the Magic, was currently ranked third in the best rookie list.

The Magic have four wins and zero losses so far this season, which is a big plus in the team's record.

However, Su Jiu's personal performance is also very amazing. In the 19.2 minutes he averaged per game, he can also contribute 10 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists.

At present, he has directly killed the third place in the rookie rankings all the way by sitting on the rocket, leaving Beasley, Westbrook, and Brook Lopez behind him for the time being.

The announcement of this list has ushered in the discussion of many fans in the United States.

Although Su Jiuzai's recent reputation has been raging, in terms of popularity alone, he is no less than any rookie this year.

However, for Su Jiu's appearance in the top three of this list, many people are still dissatisfied and questioned.

Most people think that Su Jiu's high ranking is due to the strong overall strength of the Magic team.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to rank in the top ten positions in this list.

Some people think that Su Jiu's ranking in this position is completely deserved, because compared to the statistical contribution, Su Jiu's spiritual contribution on the court is not reflected in the current list.

Even under this kind of endless debate, Su Jiu's name has remained popular for a long time.

But no matter what the final result is, as an undrafted pick, Su Jiu has successfully proved it to everyone.

Even a small person deserves to have big dreams...
