NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

The game against the Nets begins.

At the beginning, Jordan received a pass from Zhou Yao and it was a dunk.

This guy is really fast.

However, it still attracted a lot of criticism.

"That DeAndre Jordan."

"There's nothing to do but eat cake!"

"I don't know how Zhou Yao became a coach, but he actually likes to use such players!"

No wonder some fans say this about him.

From a statistical point of view, Jordan is indeed the kind of player who should not be reused.

As a center with a height of 211cm, he has good explosive power and fast speed.

However, even in college he was not the main force of the team.

The technology is crude and has almost no range at all.

It seems that his points per game are not too few, but most of them are eating cakes.

The point is, as a big man, he averages less than 4 rebounds per game.

Many people are saying that he is the most useless person on the Bobcats.

If Zhou Yao hadn't been willing to give him a chance, his playing time would have been greatly reduced for other teams.

Moreover, he will definitely not have such a high draft stock.

If nothing else, his annual salary of US$316 million has already made quite a few players in the league the envy of him.

Even within the Bobcats, Jordan's salary ranks seventh.

Ranked after Zhou Yao, Wang Zhizhi, Oden, Westbrook, Durant, and Pachulia.

With such a high salary, it is considered that the role it can play is very limited.

No wonder Jordan is said to be the most useless person.

But anyway.

He scored this goal.

2: 0.

The Bobcats got off to a good start.

……

The Nets are just a rebuilding team.

The current record is 15 wins and 13 losses.

The team's top management, the players, even the most critical fans.

They are quite satisfied with this.

As for whether they can defeat the Bobcats, who are now the league's number one, that doesn't seem to be what a team like them should think about.

As long as their opponents don't suffer a disastrous defeat with a particularly disparate score, or let the opponent get any particularly extraordinary data, they should be satisfied.

Of course, there are people who are not convinced.

Brooke Lopez.

He and his younger brother both participated in this year's draft.

As the older brother, Brooke is stronger.

For him, he hopes to join a strong team and help the team gain a good record.

At the same time, I also hope that my ranking can be as high as possible.

It has long been predicted that both brothers would eventually become lottery picks.

At the very least, he'll be a lottery pick.

Brook Lopez knows he can't be the No. 1 pick.

He had never considered such a thing.

Before the draft, of course.

He also heard a rumor.

It is said that the Bobcats will obtain a very high first-round pick through a trade.

Although the Bobcats were an Eastern Conference team, Brook Lopez lived in California.

However, he has also heard about the power of lynx.

The team has been in existence for four years and has never missed the playoffs.

And it is also a dynasty team that has won three consecutive championships.

Historically, only three teams have done this.

The Celtics in the Russell era.

The Bulls of the Jordan era.

Further down the row are the Bobcats from Zhou Yao's era.

The point is, Zhou Yao is still very young.

When Lopez participated in the draft, Zhou Yao was not even 24 years old.

If you can join such a team, you may have a chance to win a championship ring in your first season.

And since the Bobcats plan to trade for a higher first-round pick. It’s not like there’s no chance to choose yourself.

But thinking about it again, Brook Lopez felt that he had little hope.

He is a center forward.

The Bobcats just drafted a center as the No. 1 pick last year.

It is unlikely that a center will be selected with a high pick this year.

As a result, the Bobcats selected Westbrook with the No. 1 pick.

He is indeed a defender.

Just using the No. 1 pick to select a substitute for Zhou Yao, only the Bobcats can do such a luxury!

And then, the Bobcats still had the No. 5 pick in the first round.

Brooke Lopez felt a wave of excitement in her heart.

However, he quickly calmed himself down.

That was the No. 5 pick in the first round, how could he be selected?

But in the end, the Bobcats really chose a center.

He had actually heard of Jordan's name.

But he is definitely a worse player than himself.

Since the Bobcats can choose DeAndre Jordan, why not choose themselves!

The Nets are actually pretty good now.

This is a team that is rebuilding.

There are many opportunities for everyone.

As long as you perform well, you can gain the trust of the head coach.

That's the case with Brooke Lopez.

He quickly became the team's starter and firmly took control of the position.

Compared with DeAndre Jordan, his statistics are much better.

The team's record is not bad, of course, but it cannot be compared with the Bobcats.

But the more this happened, the less he understood.

What's wrong with me?

Why didn't Bobcat management pay attention to it?

Or to put it more directly, why was he not chosen by Zhou Yao.

You know, Zhou Yao is now the head coach and general manager of the Bobcats.

Things like the draft can really be decided by him with just one sentence.

Of course, Brook Lopez is still self-aware.

Also a rookie this year.

He will be dissatisfied with Jordan, but he will not be dissatisfied with Westbrook.

Not surprisingly, that guy is the Rookie of the Year this year.

He can only compete for the best rookie team.

If Westbrook had scored the goal just now, he probably wouldn't have felt anything at all.

Can be biased.

That goal was scored by Jordan.

It's so easy to get in.

Maybe even easier than your usual shooting drills.

Brook Lopez can have her moment.

By this time, the ball had been passed to him.

This is an opportunity.

Lopez didn't hesitate.

He is different from DeAndre Jordan.

DeAndre Jordan has almost no shooting range.

As for Lopez, he also has a good mid-range skill.

At this time, the Bobcats shooting guard standing in front of him was JJ Redick, who had performed quite well.

However, it is difficult for this guy to interfere with a center like Lopez.

Moreover, Redick's firepower is very fierce, but his defense is very ordinary.

Lopez took action decisively.

The ball goes in.

2: 2.

Originally, it should have been Jordan's job to defend him.

But the guy's reaction was slower, giving Lopez a chance.

Redick, who was closest, didn't react slowly. Unfortunately, he was just a shooting guard.

Soon, Devin Harris successfully intercepted the ball from Redick.

Lopez is in a great location.

The ball was passed immediately.

Lopez took two steps forward and caught the ball.

Unmarked.

Lopez is not the kind of player who dribbles well, after all, he plays center.

However, he is still an NBA-level player.

From high school to college, I have been fully trained.

Just dribble to the basket and dunk.

There are no defensive players.

This doesn't bother him at all...
