Chapter 122 Buckley and Smith's Bet!
After the Knicks defeated the Warriors, the American media generally believed that Lin Yi lost another competitor for the best rookie.
Timberwolves rookie Tyreke Evans played well, but his statistics are slightly worse than Lin Yi's. The Huskies' record is so bad that they can't compare with the Knicks who turned salty fish.
After the victory over the Warriors, the Knicks will have a four-day rest period, and Lin Yi is not idle, practicing hard shooting in the Knicks training hall to maintain his touch.
Lin Yi knew that Brandon Jennings' 55 points in a single game in his rookie season was about to appear, and the "scoring day" chosen by Lin Yi himself was also in sight.
...
On November 16, when people were worrying that Lin Yi had no opponent in the competition for the best rookie, the Milwaukee Bucks played against the Golden State Warriors at home, clamoring to let the team that missed him Brandon Jennings, the No. 10 pick in 2009 who regretted it, contributed a magical game!
In the whole game, he made 34 shots and made 21 hits, including 7 of 8 three-pointers. In the third quarter, he scored 29 points in a single quarter. He scored 55 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game. Shocked the entire league!
It is worth mentioning that in this game against the Warriors, Brandon Jennings knocked down Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis successively. Get blown away by Brandon Jennings.
All of a sudden, whether it is the media or the fans, everyone thinks that the best rookie competitor of "Linsanity" is coming!
And the unlucky Stephen Curry was once again questioned by people, and the second place was actually blown away by the No. 10 pick!
Although it is not new for a high-ranking rookie to be blown up by a low-ranking rookie, Stephen Curry was abused too badly this time.
After the poor elementary school student was taught how to be a man by the Knicks in the last game, he was hanged and beaten by the brave Brandon Jennings in this game.
Jennings said after the game that he is the well-deserved best in 2009!
Now it's all right, not only the American media is looking down on Curry, even the fans of the Warriors think that choosing Curry in the summer is really a failure...
It's a pity that Lin Yi immediately asked the Knicks uniform team to inquire about the Warriors, and the answer he got was still that the Warriors refused to trade Curry.
Damn old Nelson!
...
In fact, Lin Yi was not surprised that Jennings could have such a performance. Jennings is a typical debut or peak player. Throughout his career, he only had such a crab.
It can only be said that the defense of Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis is really...
It's so bad!
Jennings didn't even shoot 40% in his career. He felt good in this game, and the Warriors' defense couldn't put him under pressure. The result can be imagined.
Sad elementary school student.
Even James Harden, who is not good at comforting people, began to comfort Curry in the group.
In other words, although Harden's playing time is limited this season, Harden, who played with the bench, has unlimited firepower in the second team. The Thunder's way of dealing with the three musketeers is very clever. They know that Harden must not be able to start. Playing, instead of watching Harden being guarded by Westbrook, it is better to let Harden bring a substitute to play freely.
...
Many troublesome media have hoped to interview Lin Yi's opinion on Jennings' speech that "I am the best rookie in 2009". From the media's point of view, Jennings is sending a letter to Lin Yi Yes!
You must know that Jennings' performance of 55 points in a single game made him surpass LeBron James at the age of 20 years and 54 days to become the youngest player in NBA history to score 50 points in a single game.
Many NBA stars have sent blessings and encouragement to Jennings. The former record holder James said generously that records are made to be broken. Congratulations to Jennings.
Of course, it is not known whether James is scolding MMP in his heart.
Brandon Jennings stole the limelight for a while, and he himself confidently stated that he is no worse than anyone in the 2009 rookie class, and he is the best one.
The Bucks management felt that they had picked up a treasure, and they were going to shift the focus of training, and promised Jennings unlimited right to play iron.
Lin Yi didn't say anything through the media. He knew that fighting back with action was the best way.
But Jennings is indeed too arrogant. The kid told the media through his agent that the Warriors had invited him to try out in the summer, but they chose Stephen Curry who refused to go to the Warriors for a tryout. Jennings was very upset. He had long held his breath and wanted to take revenge on the Warriors.
"Stephen Curry? He is also worthy of my match?" Brandon Jennings said arrogantly.
...
"I think it's hard to draw conclusions about the best rookie in the Eastern Conference in November." In a program on TNT TV, Kenny Smith believed that the current record of the Bucks is also good. Jennings scored 55 points in a single game. His performance is phenomenal, he has the potential to become an All-Star point guard, and he has a chance to beat Lin Yi in the selection of the best rookie in the East in November.
"I don't think so. Lin's performance is more stable. We can't make judgments and conclusions just because of a certain game. This is unprofessional." As the second Lin Mi in the United States, Barkley continued his poisonous milk for Lin Yi .
"Hey, Charles, even many superstars have never scored as high as 55 points in the regular season." Kenny Smith did not forget to seize the opportunity to attack Barkley.
Barkley looked aggrieved, because he was the superstar who failed to score 50 points in the regular season!
Buckley: ┻━┻︵╰(‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
But in fact, Kenny Smith's statement is not very fair. Although Barkley failed to score 50 points in the regular season, he had a performance of 56 points in a single game in the playoffs!
The difficulty of scoring in the playoffs is much more difficult than in the regular season.
Barkley was said to be hurting, and he couldn't refute it for a while. Angrily, Barkley said, "What if Lin also scored 50 points?"
Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Hey, I said Charles, don't lie to yourself, don't forget that Lin's opponent is in the fourth quarter!"
Barkley obviously doesn't like Jennings. He thinks Jennings' body has no future, but Kenny Smith is right. If New York plays well, it will be difficult for Lin Yi to play in the fourth quarter.
The difficulty of scoring 50 points is that if you play too smoothly, your opponent may collapse directly. Many star players have missed a lot of high points in their careers because of this. After all, it is very unkind to play in garbage time to score points.
Kobe's 62-point game in three quarters is an example. In the fourth quarter, Kobe refused to play for points, otherwise no one would doubt that he could break his own record of 81 points.
But Barkley was obviously not reconciled, especially what Kenny Smith said, as if Barkley was not as good as Jennings.
"Lin's biggest advantage is that he is two months younger than Jennings. I think he still has a chance to break Jennings' record." Barkley said unconvinced.
"Oh? Charles, how about we make a bet?" Kenny Smith said with a smirk.
"What kind of gamble?" Once Barkley became unconvinced, no one could stop him.
"If Lin can't break Jennings' record for the youngest 50-plus points, how about you kiss the ass again?" Kenny Smith said.
Buckley hesitated for a moment, but anyway, it was all to increase the ratings of the show, so Buckley also went all out, "Okay, no problem, if Lin succeeds, then this time I'll kiss your ass!"
"OK!" The bet between Smith and Barkley quickly spread throughout the United States, and even Chinese fans were very interested in this bet.
Chinese fans don't like Jennings either, because he's too aggressive. Look at our Lin Yi, how low-key and humble he is!
In fact, low-key and modesty are useless in the NBA, but this time Jennings is indeed too high-profile.
To be too arrogant is to be conceited.
Chinese fans can't help recalling Dayao's rookie season. Barkley once kissed a donkey's ass because of his insults to Dayao, but this time, Barkley was on Lin Yi's side, and his position was different. Li's impression has also changed a lot.
After Barkley's bet with Kenny Smith took effect, he went to watch the game schedule. If he didn't watch it, he would know that there were not many opportunities left for him and Lin Yi...
wipe!
Barkley felt himself on the pill this time.
Because the Knicks' next opponents are full of favorites like the Lakers and Celtics...
After Lin Yi learned that Buckley poisoned him again, he really wanted to beat the fat man up.
Damn, can't you hack me once and give me some mysterious power?
But that being said, Lin Yi himself is full of confidence in breaking Jennings' record.
