After the match, Wang Zhizhi complained helplessly to reporters:

"Facing such an excellent player, you can't defend at all. Whether it is offensive or organizational, we can't do anything. The only thing we can accept is that his defense is not good!"

"I think he will be a headache for all the next CBA head coaches!"

Duke was also mobbed by reporters.

Seeing the reporter stuttering in English, Duke thought to himself, should I interrupt him or wait for him to finish?

Duke decided to respect the other person and wait for the other person to finish speaking.

"Duke, uh, you are on the court today, uh, you performed very bravely, uh, scored 44 high points... What is your team goal for this year?"

"You can speak Mandarin, I can understand and speak it!"

Hearing Duke's Mandarin, the reporter was dumbfounded. Why didn't you say it earlier, and I stuttered for a long time!

"We have only one goal, and that is to win the championship!"

........

Michael looked at the records in the notebook and double-checked whether there was any problem.

It was Duke's scouting report.

Name: Duke Wright

Birthday: 1989 5 Month 29 Day

Position: Point guard

University: none

Team: Guangdong Hongyuan (cba)

Height: 191 cm

Weight: 195 lbs (about 88 kg)

Arm span: 209cm

Player template: Devin Harris

Strengths: Elite athleticism, quick speed, plenty of explosiveness to go anywhere on the court, good acceleration at different speeds, and a quick first step.

An excellent passer, he can pass the ball accurately with both hands after dribbling with speed to open up space for his teammates. He has excellent passing ability, vision and anticipation, and can find a balance between scoring and passing.

Excellent off-the-dribble shooter with a decent shot from the mid-range and three-point line.

At only 18 years old, there is still the possibility of development in height and wingspan.

Weaknesses: Defensive skills and attitude have a big problem.

The Achilles tendon was ruptured once, and he looks healthy at present, and potential injuries cannot be ruled out.

Michael ended up not writing Steve Nash's name on the player template.

He felt that although Duke was a bit like Nash, the style was completely different.

Nash is a pure point guard, while Duke is more like an offensive guard, with a faint taste of Iverson.

But can he reach the heights of Iverson?

Michael dare not think!

Michael hurriedly sorted out the scouting report, and then prepared to call and report to the boss.

He is not the only scout on the scene, and it is best for the team to contact Duke in advance.

He knows that after today, Duke's draft pick will rise explosively, and Duke will also be the favorite of all teams.

.....

Duke doesn't know what's going on off the court, and if he knows, he won't bother.

Professional things should be done by professional people, just leave this kind of thing to Bill Duffy.

My main task is to get good statistics, no, bah bah bah, it's to play the game well and lead the team to win the championship.

At this time, Duke was looking at his mobile phone happily, watching the media's praise of his comments.

The match between Guangdong Hongyuan and Bayi Nanchang caused a lot of repercussions.

To be precise, it is the response of two groups.

One is the fan group, and the other is the team's head coach.

The performance of the fan group is concentrated on forums such as Tieba and Hupu.

Guangdong fans:

"I am mighty and domineering, Duke mvp!"

"Speaking of mvp, I don't agree, Liu Hongjiang is the mvp!"

"I keep a low profile!"

"The three giants cut 88 together, declaring that other teams will be 88 this year!"

. . . . . . .

Other fans:

"Guangdong got lucky and signed a good foreign aid!"

"Is the general manager of our team eating shit? Look at other foreign players!"

"It's short-lived, and it will return to its original shape in the end!"

"Bayi is no longer good. The main players are old and old, and they are going away. This year is very pessimistic about Bayi."

.......

There were even some random fans, "! (This is our Samsung star in Seoul!)"

And the head coaches of each team were all the same: "How to defend Duke? How to defend Guangdong Hongyuan's offense!"

......

Four days later.

In the second round, Guangdong challenged Fujian Xunxing away.

Fujian Xunxing ranked seventh in the regular season last season, but was eliminated by Liaoning in the first round.

This season even signed the God of War Liu Yudong, thinking about going further.

Perhaps it was the big victory in the last game that made Guangdong forget about it.

As soon as the game came up, Guangdong was very slack.

Fujian also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Guangdong's basket.

Liu Yudong is also worthy of the name of the God of War, and the consecutive mid-range shots directly stopped Guangdong.

But Guangdong is Guangdong after all, and the strength of the South China Tigers should not be underestimated.

After returning from the timeout, Guangdong began to get serious.

Duke's inside and outside shot, Wang Qizhu's three-pointer quickly tied the score and overtook it.

Not to be outdone, Liu Yudong also responded by scoring consecutively, but he was getting old and soon exhausted his physical strength.

117-104

In the end, Guangdong won two consecutive victories without any risk.

Duke scored 34 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.

After the game, Guangdong returned to Dongguan non-stop.

The third round will be played at home, and it will also be Guangdong's home opener.

The opponent is Yunnan Honghe, who was interested in signing Duke before.

When it comes to Honghe, Yunnan, one has to mention Li Bensen.

Li Bensen is the strongest foreign player in the CBA until this season. He has scored 50+20 in three consecutive games, creating a miracle in the history of the CBA. He has also averaged 39.0 points and 37.5 points per game in the season. .

But then Li Bensen left China because he couldn't stand the cba referee's whistle.

The starting lineup of Yunnan Honghe today is: Yu Junkai, Jia Nan, Zhang Weigang, Kelly Williams, Xiao Weiguo

The Guangdong team's starting lineup is still: Su Wei, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Duke.

This is Guangdong's first home game, and the fans at the scene have been looking forward to it for a long time.

The live DJ also introduced the players with a loud voice:

"Let's welcome our pigs—8~ with warm applause!"

"Next is our No. 7 ~ Dapeng spreads its wings~!"

......

"Finally, welcome our superstar with the warmest applause—Lin~en~"

Under the background of the DJ's passion, the players on the scene are also in high spirits.

Game start

Having learned the lesson from the previous game, Guangdong entered the state as soon as the game opened.

Duke made a three-pointer and Guangdong took the lead.

After switching over, Xiao Weiguo made a layup and went out under the interference of Su Wei.

Then Du Feng made an empty cut from Duke and made a layup.

Another Duke breakthrough layup.

Guangdong's bursts of impact scoring made the fans on the scene watch climaxes.

At the end of the first quarter, Guangdong scored a super high score of 43 points.

The score also led 43-29 by 14 points.

The following games did not cause much disturbance.

Yunnan Honghe intends to chase points but has no strength to cash in.

Guangdong also brought out waves of offensives under the leadership of Duke.

At the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 122-101.

Guangdong won by a big score again.

Duke scored 39 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists.

After the game, Duke patiently signed autographs for fans on the sidelines.

He decided to learn from Adu in the future, and signed jerseys for fans after training and games.

Some fans travel thousands of miles to watch your game, so you can't let them go away empty-handed!

A good player must have a good personality!
