The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 387 Am I not as good as Rondo?

Under Rondo's special care, Chuanyang was extremely tormented.

The offensive efficiency is a bit horrible.

The psychological endurance of young people is generally not very good, and Chui Yang is now on the verge of losing control.

Especially when I saw Doncic, who was in the same class as me, playing well on the court.

This made him even more uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for Dongcic, then he would already be a member of the Pacers and Li Xun's teammate now.

The more anxious you are, the more you can't find the touch.

By the end of the first half, Chui Yang shot 11 of 2 from the field.

"Young people nowadays really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"I haven't used all my defensive strength, and he can't do it."

"This is really a deformed era. Players of this level can enter the league to play, and they are still such a high pick."

"In our time, he would have lost the election."

After completely locking Chu Yang, Rondo sat on the bench and began to act as a big man.

There are also many newcomers in the Pacers team. Hearing Rondo's words, I must not feel very uncomfortable.

Doncic is okay, he knows very well that what Rondo said was not aimed at him at all.

Because no matter what era he is in, as long as he is an all-around small forward, as long as he is not weak, his pick will definitely not be too low.

Not to mention the era when Rondo entered the league, even before the Grant Hill or Robinson era, all-around small forwards were very popular.

As for Chui Yang's words, Rondo's evaluation is actually correct.

If it was in the 90s, it would be very difficult for a player like him to be selected with a high pick.

Iverson is an exception, because he has shown extraordinary breakthrough ability before entering the league.

As for Chuiyang's breakthrough, there is probably a Kobe gap between Iverson and Iverson.

"Now, Rajon, stop talking about our time."

"In fact, there is no era that belongs to us at all. For more than ten years, it has been Li Xun's era."

Wade said with a wry smile.

"Yes, Rajon, times have changed."

"I think the current small ball era is completely different from ours at that time, so the players needed are also completely different."

Old Carter, the oldest, is actually a bit of a problem of relying on the old to sell the old under normal circumstances.

But since he won the championship with Li Xun, his problem of relying on the old and selling the old has disappeared.

The current Carter, just like that kind grandfather, takes great care of the newcomers in the team.

Usually, when Rondo made a mistake and blamed the rookie, it was Carter who stood up to help the rookie.

After the first half, Chu Yang only scored five points.

On the other hand, Doncic, because he was the only starting rookie on the field tonight, he got a lot of shots.

Already scored 16 points in the halftime, and the offensive efficiency is much higher than that of Chu Yang.

If nothing else, he might even get thirty points tonight.

Soon the second half of the game began.

During the intermission, Rondo still looked down on Yang Yang, and his face turned green in the second half.

Because only 6 minutes were played in the third quarter, Chui Yang had made 6 of 4 three-pointers and scored 12 consecutive points on Rondo's head.

It's not that Rondo's defense has slackened, but that Chu Yang found his touch.

Throughout Chuan Yang's rookie season, things like 11-for-2 in the first quarter are extremely normal for him. In a year, he has played such poor efficiency in more than ten games.

However, it is extremely normal for him to score 12 points in a half quarter like the second half.

So Chui Yang is a nerve knife, the enhanced version of JR Smith, there is actually nothing wrong with it.

By the end of the third quarter, Chuan Yang scored 22 points in a single quarter.

It's a pity that in the fourth quarter, his hot touch left him again, and he only scored 7 points in a single quarter.

But all of this added up, Chui Yang played 37 minutes tonight and also scored 34 points.

On the other hand, Doncic scored 30 points.

Purely looking at the score, Chui Yang is even higher than Doncic.

But depending on the scoring efficiency, Chuan Yang is definitely not as good as Dongcic, because Dongcic has ten fewer shots than Chuan Yang.

Now he doesn't care about his scoring efficiency.

He only knows that he scored 34 points in his debut, which was higher than Doncic's and was the highest score in the game.

Although the Eagles were beaten in this game, he did not lose.

After the game, Li Xun walked onto the field with a smile and shook hands with Chuu Yang after the game.

Li Xun only played 22 minutes tonight. The Eagles are really too weak. He is a bit of a bully if he stays on the court.

Even though Li Xun only played 22 minutes, the Hawks still lost by 17 points.

"Son, it's a good fight."

Li Xun smiled and patted Chui Yang on the shoulder.

This attitude directly made Chu Yang a little at a loss.

Originally, when he saw Li Xun walking towards him, he wondered if Li Xun was going to mock him.

He had even thought up his words of retaliation.

As a result, Li Xun's attitude made him feel ashamed.

"Thank you for your approval, Lee."

"But I still don't understand why you are willing to trade me out. Is my strength not as good as Rondo in your eyes?"

Chuiyang seems to have eaten a lot of trash talk from Rondo on the field, so he is very upset with Rondo.

After hearing this, Rondo almost stepped forward to strangle this ignorant boy.

Li Xun laughed aloud, his personality of blowing Yang is indeed very interesting sometimes.

"Trading you out doesn't mean you're not strong."

"At least in my opinion, you are one of the top three rookies in this class."

"The Pacers are not suitable for you. You need to be in the kind of team that has the absolute right to fire, so that you can grow up as soon as possible."

Li Xun said with a smile.

These words are the true thoughts in his heart.

Like Doncic or Sun, it is of course good for them to have the ball. If they don't have the ball, they can also play other roles on the court.

But blowing Yang is different.

If he doesn't have the ball on the court, what else can you expect him to do?
So blowing Yang is not suitable for the Pacers at all.

After hearing Li Xun's words, Chui Yang felt elated. In Li Xun's eyes, he was actually the top three rookies this year?

Being able to get such an evaluation, Chuu Yang's heart knot was immediately opened.

He also knew that what Li Xun said was right, as if he was really not suitable for Pacers.

Look at Rondo tonight, starting the game, played three 10 minutes, but only took six shots.

If he was in the Pacers, let himself only take six shots a game, he would have to suffocate to death.

"I see, thank you, Lee."

"You have always been my idol and the target I chase after."

"I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future."

Chui Yang began to be humble at this time, like a serious guy.

"Okay, there will be a chance to join forces in the future."

"Come on, the future belongs to you."

After Li Xun finished speaking, he became happy, as if the future would really belong to a group of young people like Tre Yang.

By the time they have played in the league for ten years, just when they reached their golden peak, they have already played in the league for 20 years.

At that time, I must have retired, so it is not wrong to say that the future belongs to them.

Chuiyang's heart is as sweet as eating honey, and now he regrets that he magnified his words before the game, showing that he is so immature.

After he was in a good mood, Chui Yang took the initiative to say hello to some newcomers in the Pacers team.

Rondo was not in a good mood. At first he thought he could completely lock up this kid, but it turned out that he scored 34 points.

"Rajon, these boys are not as easy to deal with as you think."

Li Xun smiled at Rondo.

Rondo could only nod silently, "It is indeed difficult to deal with, but tonight he is just lucky."

"Next time you meet this kid, you have to give him some flair."

"Li, that arrogant kid isn't very good, but this kid in our team is a bit powerful."

"To be honest, I haven't seen a rookie of this level in many years."

"I even have a hunch that he may be your successor."

The kid Rondo said was undoubtedly Doncic.

From the perspective of technical characteristics, Doncic is indeed somewhat similar to Li Xun in the first two years of his career.

They are all so versatile.

It's just that Dongcic's dominance certainly cannot be compared with that of Li Xun in that period.

Hearing the words of Li Xun's successor, everyone in the Pacers walked over curiously.

"Not to mention, I also think this kid is a bit like Li Xun back then."

"Of course, his rebounding is far behind that of Li Xun at that time."

"The offense was not as stable as that of Li Xun at that time. I still remember Li Xun's high back attack at that time, which was simply superb."

"Don't brag too much, young people can't brag, it will be bad if he takes it seriously."

Several veterans talked about it.

Doncic really gave them the feeling of Li Xun's successor, but he has only played two games so far, so it's too early to say.

After winning the Eagles, the Pacers' next opponent is the Detroit Pistons.

When he arrived at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Li Xun sighed.

This Pistons has completely lost its own brand, and the old teammates that I selected back then have all gone their separate ways.

Originally, there were two weapons masters, Vucevic and Leonard, but this offseason, both of them also left.

Leonard's contract expired and he ran away. He really couldn't bear the half-dead state of the Pistons.

As for Vucevic, he was traded out in exchange for Zhuang Shen.

In addition, they also signed Griffin to form a good-looking inside partner.

It is equivalent to saying that there are no members of the Piston Dynasty back then, and now there is no one left, and all of them have left.

If you really want to say that the only remaining brand, I am afraid it is the three championship flags hanging above the arena.

Over the Palace of Auburn Hills, there are a total of six championship banners, two of which were the champions of the Bad Boys.

One side is the champion of the grassroots army period.

The remaining three sides are the dynasty army led by Li Xun.

"Li Xun!"

"Li Xun!"

Although Li Xun has been away from the Pistons for many years, his return here still makes the fans excited.

All over the sky and everywhere are calling Li Xun's name.

Li Xun waved to the fans. He has been to so many teams for so many years, and his favorite fan group is actually the Pistons fans.

Knicks fans are so snobby.

There are too many rednecks among Dallas fans.

The game has started, tonight Li Xun is in the fourth position, and Turner is put in the starting lineup.

After all, Griffin needs Li Xun to deal with it.

The outside trio is Doncic, junior and Brother Sun.

After the game started, Li Xun felt a little uncomfortable.

Mainly on the rebound side, with the first few rebounds, he didn't even have the advantage of crushing Zhuangshen.

It's not that Li Xun's rebounding strength has declined, but that his inside partner's blocking ability is too weak.

Think carefully about Li Xun's inside partners for so many years before, Jordan Jr., Yao Ming, Howard and even the fat Jokic later.

These people have very strong positioning abilities.

Coupled with Li Xun's strong rebounding ability, he can always take the rebound first.

But now Turner is completely incomparable with those people.

And Zhuang Shen is a super rebounder, and his rebounding ability is also ranked first in NBA history.

In the past few years, Zhuang Shen's average rebounds per game has been maintained at around 15, which is only less than Li Xun's.

In terms of rebound rate, Zhuang Shen's rebound rate has remained at around 25% all year round.

This is very exaggerated.

Regardless of the ancient monsters such as Chamberlain and Russell, the player with the best rebounding performance in modern times is undoubtedly Rodman the worm.

And Zhuang Shen's rebounding rate is comparable to Rodman's, which is very scary.

Looking at it this way, Zhuang Shen is actually a typical example of that kind of untimely birth.

In the current small ball era, it is difficult for him to become a super giant with a rebounder like him.

Although the Pacers' rebounds cannot form a crushing advantage, they have a considerable advantage in offense and defense compared to the Pistons.

Li Xun faced Griffin, which was an absolutely powerful suppression.

Players of Griffin's type are afraid that their opponents are stronger than themselves, or more athletic than themselves.

Now Li Xun occupies both, and his size and wingspan are not much worse than Griffin's, which makes Griffin's fight very uncomfortable.

Don't even think about scoring at the basket.

In terms of CIC, Griffin this season can be regarded as a handsome CIC.

But under Li Xun's defense, he couldn't make any shots tonight.

Griffin is restricted, and the Pistons are also a bunch of rookies on the outside. How could it be the opponent of Doncic and others.

You must know that the Pacers also have a junior on the outside who is bound to the Rock Richmond template.

In the previous two games, he didn't get much chance to show his power, but he finally got the chance tonight.

He has been brazen enough to ask for the ball from brother Sun, the point guard. Tonight, the younger brother played impressively, feeling a bit like a first-line shooting guard.

After the game ended, the Pistons were defeated.

The younger brother even scored a high score of 33 points tonight.

Judging from the performance of the younger brother tonight, there is still Li Xun's stain.

If he can continue to perform at this level, let alone a stain, he will definitely become the highlight of Li Xun's draft career.

After the first three games, the Pacers' combat power has completely exceeded the imagination of all parties.

They thought that this year's Pacers might not be able to compete for the championship, after all, they didn't sign much at all.

Li Xun is the only high-level player who has more players.

As a result, after playing three games, they found that the extra high-level combat power was not limited to Li Xun, not to mention the two super rookies Doncic and Brother Sun.

Even the younger brother, whom no one looked down on before, has exploded this season.
