New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 366 Reunion with Varanda
Because the Brooklyn Nets arrived a day early.As the last opponent in the NCAA, Varanda accepted the invitation of Zhang Yi and the three to have a dinner together.

The past has passed, and now there is not so much hatred in the NBA, and all players regard basketball as their profession.

Play well on the court and try to achieve good results for the team, whether it is whether it is to hit the championship, or the goal is the playoffs, or even poor performance.

Everyone will work hard to fulfill the requirements of the coach and the team.So outside of the competition, there is no more hatred for each other.Even if they don't like each other on the court.

Off the court, at most, it's just ignoring the opponent. It's not common to see opponents treated like sworn enemies in the past.

It cannot be said that this is progress, after all, the lack of gunpowder-flavored confrontation will always make the audience feel that something is missing.

But neither the things that hurt players nor the riots have disappeared from today's NBA.God knows if the current players can accept it if the league resumes that level of confrontation.

Of course, Varanda hated Zhang Yi and others, after all, the three of them teamed up to ruin his dream of a university dynasty.Whether it's himself or the rest of the Duke Blue Devils teammates may be in this mood.

But the past is in the past.If it is said that NCAA opponents may have a stronger smell of gunpowder on the court.The current NBA is more like a competitive social, because both the game and the conflict will stay on the court.

On the sidelines, people communicate like ordinary friends.And like Varanda and Zhang Yi, they are closer because they are rookies in the same class, and they have various intersections before.

"You haven't played Sean's Hornets yet?"

Varanda said while eating.Obviously the Hornets and the Lakers belong to the West, but it's strange that Zhang Yi and the others haven't played against Sean so far.

On the contrary, Varanda's Nets have already played two games with the Hornets this year.

"No. No matter what I heard, you double-killed him this year."

Zhang Yi said with a smile.Because Xiao En is definitely the kind of person whose heart is higher than the sky and whose fate is thinner than paper.Not to mention being underwhelmed by Zhang Yi and Varanda in the draft.

Now entering the NBA is also a variety of anger.Not only is the record of the Hornets almost meaningless, but also just in time for a wave of injuries when playing the Nets.

"Don't talk about it, when the Hornets played against us, it was miserable with only eight players."

"What? I haven't paid attention to them." "At that time, their inside core just couldn't play, and the point guard line was not replaced."

Varanda also became serious when he said this, because he didn't sympathize with Sean, but respected him. "So in the two games we played, he played the whole game."

"Well, he is such a man. It's just that the Hornets are drunk because they don't want to reinforce. Obviously they have Sean and an excellent big man can play both inside and outside."

Robert also feels pity for Sean, because if he plays like this, this is his first season.Even if Sean can adapt to this rhythm, his body may not be able to bear it.

Wally suddenly raised his wine glass and said to the other three, "This time, let's respect the Hornets warrior led by the single-core team—Sean!"

When they heard this, these people suddenly laughed.

"Hey, hey, he's already sacrificed. Is it really okay for us to talk about him like this behind our backs?"

Sean, who was playing in Orlando, sneezed suddenly, thinking who was speaking ill of him behind his back.

The Nets led by Varanda are really invincible now.Because they not only defeated the New York Knicks, the boss of the East, but also stood out from the pinch of the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers.

Now ranked third in the East with a record of 18 wins and 5 losses.You must know that the Nets only won 18 games for the first time last season, and now they have tied their wins for the entire season.

Just when people were saying that the Nets should be kicked out of the league, Varanda's appearance can be regarded as saving them.Coupled with the newly traded outside fighter Morris.This pair of backcourt partners has also become the hottest combination in the NBA today.

Just like the Bruins, Morris was a rookie the year before, but he missed the game due to injury in the first two seasons, and the Kings, who were bothered, sold him to the Nets.

Unexpectedly, when Morris, who used to play for the Blue Devils at Duke University, saw Varanda on his back, his injury recovered. Not only did he come back, but he also released the pressure he had accumulated in the past two years out.

Once in the team, Morris played with Varanda, so now the two of them can of course have an excellent chemical reaction when they get together.

One is a top point guard with an excellent overall view, and the other is a super shooter who can play off the ball and with the ball.The final result is, of course, a crazy assist and a scoring!

If Zhang Yi and Sean are the players with the highest scoring average among the rookies this year.But Morris, who didn't play in the previous two years, can't be forgotten.

He should be regarded as a rookie according to the definition of the NBA now.Even many rookies this year will be included in the comparison.

It's just a pity that the quality of this year's rookies is too high. Even a super scorer who can average 28 points per game is now pushed down to the third place in rookie scoring.

This would never have happened in previous years, but it is the reality.The so-called Diamond Generation is really not for nothing.Because in addition to the scoring list being dominated by rookies, the assist list is also dominated by rookie representatives headed by Varanda.

If it weren't for superstars like Curry and Simpkins supporting the scene, audiences who don't know would think that there are only rookies in the NBA.

But Zhang Yi and the others will grow up sooner or later and support the entire league.It's too early to say this, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

In the diamond generation, Zhang Yi, Varanda and Sean have already secured their superstar positions in advance.Including Robert, Wally, Felton and others are also emerging excellent stars.

God knows how many All-Stars will appear in their generation, and who will be the final victor.

But now people believe that Zhang Yi is the first of these people!He is also the successor of Curry. No matter how people question it, his performance is now the player who is most suitable for this position.

Simpkins is of course strong, but his performance and background are always a little bit worse.Although Zhang Yi is of the yellow race, in this era, it has become an advantage.

Because in today's globalization of the NBA, foreign players should receive more attention. If a league leader emerges from it, it will be a bad thing for the league.
