Chapter 1513 Coach Ji Feng’s First Experience
But this year is different. Ji Feng finally graduated from the rookie area, which made the rookies full of joy. The big boss finally left the rookie village, and it also caused the rookie competition to lose attention again.
After these two days of statistics and surveys, the attention of the Rookie Tournament is very pitiful, almost the same as the first Masters Tournament, maybe even slightly lower.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Although the Masters Tournament is a small temple, it still occupies a celebrity. Since most of the players in the Masters Tournament are entertainment stars, there will never be a shortage of laughter in the All-Star Masters Tournament. In addition, Independent rules and independent methods can attract many fans to come to the scene or watch at home. After all, it is a special experience to see your idol playing on your favorite court.
For example, this Masters Game has invited the music king Justin Bieber, the famous American football player Owens, the comedian Kevin Hart, the famous musician Butler, and even the former US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
Stars from various fields compete in the same stadium. For many people, although the competition is not high, it is definitely entertaining.
The rookie game is different, because last year was a small year for the draft, and Griffin, the most promising and popular No. 1 pick, was reimbursed for the season. Although there are rookies like Jennings who scored 55 points in a single game and became famous. , however, cannot conceal the fact that the first grade is overall weak.
The probability of a first grader defeating a second grader this season is really low.
Just look at their roster: Blair from the Spurs, Evans and Casspi from the Kings, Flynn from the Timberwolves, Gibson from the Bulls, Bredenko from the Pistons, Curry from the Warriors, Harden from the Thunder, and James from the Bucks. Ningsi.
To be honest, except for Jennings, the others here are really not famous, even Curry and Harden, who are favored by others, and Evans, who plays the best.
They basically failed to become the main starters in their respective teams, and their performance was not impressive enough.
The second grade is different, Rose, Beasley, Mayo, Kevin Love, Westbrook, Gasol, Lopez, Gallinari, Gordon Jr. and Moreau.
The main starters of each team in this league, and many of them are even the boss or second boss of the team. In terms of fame and performance, they are not comparable to the first graders. They have adapted to this league and the first graders. The gap between rookies is quite large, and the data speaks for itself.
The future is hard to say.
Now, there's no comparison.
If Ji Feng's first-year class had promising stars like Ji Feng, Durant, and Horford who could win, there is almost no hope of a comeback in this class.
For a game with almost no suspense, it's surprising that the ratings and interest are so high.
Therefore, Ji Feng can also understand the reason why NBA officials invited him. It is nothing more than to attract a wave of attention.
However, there was no reason for Ji Feng not to agree. Not to mention, this was Ji Feng's first contact with coaching, so it was still full of freshness for him.
So while the All-Star topics were still fermenting, a piece of news appeared in front of people's eyes.
"According to NBA official reports, Ji Feng will serve as the head coach of the first-year team in the Rookie Challenge! The second-year coach will be the famous Ewing!"
"Shocked! Ji Feng has changed careers!"
"First experience as a coach! Team Ji Feng VS Team Ewing, who will win!"
"The confrontation between the new era and the old era superstars! The Rookie Challenge is worth looking forward to!"
Suddenly, the news that Ji Feng was going to become the head coach of the first-year team hit the screens all over the world. Both fans and the media were discussing Ji Feng's new identity.
"Wow, Ji Feng successfully won the Rookie of the Year in his first year, and the MVP in his second year. Is he running for the best coach in his third year! (Gothead, Doghead)"
"Awesome, Ji Feng instantly changed into Coach Ji. Now I have another reason to skip class."
"Originally, I wasn't planning to watch the rookie game. The gap in the lineup is really too big. The first-year player will win. But now, even if we lose, we still have to watch it. For no other reason than to call Ji Shen crazy!"
"Aren't they two celebrities originally? Ji Feng's face and influence are really amazing."
"I suggest the NBA pay Ji Feng!"
"In other words, even if Ji Feng is the coach, you don't really think that the first graders have a chance, do you?"
"Upstairs, this is just an exhibition match. Are you taking it seriously? The match hasn't even started yet. How do you know you can't win? Even if you can't win, it won't affect your friends from watching Ji Feng!"
"Don't be naive, the NBA just uses Ji Feng as a tool to attract you to watch the game."
"Hey, hey, sister, are you willing to take care of it..."
…
For a while, the fans said everything, some were looking forward to it, some were not optimistic about it, and some were bitter, but no matter what the fans said, the relationship was definitely going up.
Even Curry, the little transparency of this year's All-Stars, has become the target of reporters. Curry, who originally thought he was just here to make soy sauce, suddenly found that there were several times more people interviewing him. After asking, he found out that Ji Feng He went from boss to coach overnight.
However, Curry was not unhappy because Ji Feng stole his limelight. On the contrary, Curry was very happy that Ji Feng could join them. After all, he knew Ji Feng's level and was very good at making tactics. As an entertainment game coach, It's more than enough, and this also gives Curry hope of victory!
That's right, it's victory. Who doesn't want to win on this venue, unless he can't win!
Before Ji Feng came, everyone thought they could not win. Even they themselves thought so. The opponent was really too strong and all the limelight was taken away by the opponent. After all, Rose had already entered the main game, so the limelight was definitely there. It was just now, and the others are not bad either. They all have their own topics to talk about. When it was unveiled yesterday, the number of reporters from both sides was an astonishing 6 times.
Whoever sees this will not be angry!
But it's useless to be angry. This is the NBA. Popularity and unpopularity are just such a reality.
But now that Ji Feng is here, isn't this hope coming?
Ji Feng met Curry when he was checking into a hotel. The two of them went to the same hotel. Their treatment at that time was very different. Ji Feng had a presidential suite on the top floor, and next door were superstars such as Kobe and James, while a rookie like Curry only If you can live in a standard room on the third floor, it will be a room for two people.
But these are not important. What is important is that Curry finally met Ji Feng.
"Ji Feng, boss, boss! BOSS! Do you have any good suggestions? About the Rookie Challenge." Curry rushed over and looked up at Ji Feng.
"Well? Just fight casually. You will really think you can win."
Curry: "..."
"No, boss! Are you going to give up on us just like that? Can you stand those guys lording it over you?"
"Well, even if you act arrogant, it's all your fault, and it has nothing to do with me..." Ji Feng continued to tease Curry.
To be honest, even if Curry hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have let the first graders lose so easily. Originally, he had an attitude of just having fun, but the second grade guys were really too bloated. He regards victory as his own.
There is also Ewing. In an interview, he said that he did not need to be on the sidelines with this second-year lineup. He also said that his only task was to line up the lineup and see who wanted to win the rookie game MVP.
