Just as Jonny finished the lottery and frenzied practice in his hometown of Lockwood, the Magic published on their official website and official media the signing of Jonny and their rookie in the second round, Jonny's Chicago training camp teammate Mal-McAsgill's news.

But this news immediately attracted ridicule from many people, as well as many controversies.If the Magic signed McCasgill, it's okay to say, after all, he is only a second-round pick, the salary is not high, and the contract period is not long, so he will not be involved in the Magic.

But Jonny is different. He is a first-round rookie this year, and his salary is relatively high, and the contract is as long as three years, which has a lot of controversy. The NBA's rookie salary cap regulations have just been implemented, and many teams and players are a little uncomfortable.

In fact, this regulation not only stipulates the upper limit of salary, but also the lower limit. The contract that Jonny is currently holding is the lower limit salary, but even so, Jonny can only accept it, because the rookie Bibi both.

Not all teams will give such a contract to a late first-round rookie with an uncertain future like the Magic. Like the Bulls, in this year's draft, they selected Travis with the 29th overall pick in the first round. After Knight, he announced that he had given up Travis Knight's signing rights. In fact, he was afraid that a player who did not have the strength of a first-round rookie would hold a first-round rookie contract, and then the team would be trapped.

Therefore, when the Magic announced that they would give Jonny a first-round rookie contract, it was not surprising that it caused controversy in the American media.

who is jonnyThis is the problem in Sports Illustrated. If Derek Fisher, or Jerome Williams, or even Travis Knight, who has been cut by the Bulls, won such a contract, he would not Cause such controversy, but Jonny will.

Because of his resume, the sixth high school student in Indiana?What's this?Perhaps such a name in the NCAA will not bring much attraction to Jonny, so what is the basis for the Magic to choose Jonny?What is the basis for giving Jonny a first-round rookie contract?
Sports Illustrated only raised a small question, and they will not pay too much attention to the player Jonny Lee.The words ESPN wrote in their reports are a bit sharp.

In the latest issue of ESPN's basketball magazine, the new expert reporter Henry Abbott unceremoniously mocked the Magic's draft operation in his column, and unscrupulously expressed his disdain for Jonny Lee.

"Jonnie Lee, who is he? The sixth high school student in Indiana State? To be honest, I think the Magic chose such a player. It’s so weak that it makes people laugh, such a player was actually selected by the Magic in the first round, and they actually gave him a contract, this is really a big joke, I think the Magic will definitely regret it.”

Henry Abbott's language was very sharp, and other media reporters did not let go of this opportunity to laugh at magic unscrupulously.Yahoo Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski said in his column: "The Magic gave an unknown player a first-round rookie contract. I think John Gabriel is really too bold. , he will lose everything!"

And Alan Houston, who had a grudge against Johnny before, also jumped out at this time. He just signed a ten million contract with the Knicks. It's very annoying. Now, seeing so many media shooting at Johnny, Alan Houston couldn't help it.

"I've known this guy for a long time, he's a megalomaniac, I met him before in Tennessee, and he's been talking big things, really, I think the Magic got scammed by him, and the Magic got screwed over this. Somersaulted."

Facing so many criticisms, Jonny didn't know anything. He lived a life like a paradise in the small town of Lockwood day by day, so Jonny didn't know anything about the criticisms from these people.

The Magic did not respond strongly to these criticisms, but John Gabriel said lightly: "We firmly believe that we have not chosen the wrong person."

On the contrary, Anfernee Hardaway reacted a little fiercely and said: "Johnny will definitely surprise you, get ready to be slapped in the face!"

However, Anfernee Hardaway's fierce reaction did not attract much attention. Instead, he pushed the whole incident to a climax, because Henry Abbott tightly grasped this matter, he bit Anfernee Hardaway, On the latest episode of ESPN Television, Henry Abbott was a guest.

"Is Penny joking? Such a player can still succeed in the NBA? I think it's too fake. Well, if Jonny Lee's physical data is not very convincing, then let us Just look at what Jonny Lee did in high school."

Subsequently, the TV station began to broadcast a video of Jonny Lee playing in high school.

"Jonnie Lee, his shot is a hit!" The commentator's commentary continued to come from the big screen, and Henry Abbott was still doing another commentary.

"From these few goals, we can see that the way this Jonny Lee scores is shooting, shooting, and shooting! He is a shooter!"

"Jonnie Lee's shooting was interfered, and the goal was missed!" The commentator's voice continued to be heard on the big screen.

"This shot, we should be able to see that Jonny Lee's physical confrontation is too poor. Facing the level of confrontation in the high school league, he can't bear it. prospect!"

"Let's look at this ball again. Jonny Lee made a rare breakthrough. He was squeezed by the defenders. Although he made a layup in the end, we can see that his breakthrough was really good. Although he was fast, he didn't It is very well used, and his breakthrough is almost unchanged, so I conclude that this player has no development prospects in the NBA!"

Henry Abbott defined Johnny, and this definition almost made Anfernee Hardaway laugh off his mustache. Johnny didn't break through?Anfernee Hardaway immediately remembered the European step. Isn't this breakthrough sharp enough?Maybe there aren't many people in the entire NBA who can stop Johnny?

But fans didn't know all of this, and the controversy over Jonny started all over the United States.

"It seems that the Magic are hungry. Who made them so sad? O'Neal went to the Lakers. Did they think that signing an Asian could save the market?" A fan said, in the current NBA, both black and white Yes, if the Magic signs a yellow race, maybe they can really attract the yellow race market.

"Yes, I think the Magic chose this Asian because of the Asian market. After all, this is a big cake, and no one will divide it."

"I don't think so, Asians? How many can they have? And I guess they don't like watching basketball!"

Obviously, Henry Abbott's series of ridicules to Johnny has already made Johnny famous in the United States, and now, the attention of Johnny in the United States is also very high. This may be a blessing in disguise Alright.

In a seaside apartment in St. Augustine, Florida, a pink and tender little girl watched Henry Abbott on TV, showing a vicious look, and kept muttering: "This bastard expert! What does he know, brother Johnny must It's the best!"
