NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 291

Eddie Griffin carefully protects the ball.

When he saw Kidd shaking his head helplessly.

Griffin smiled.

Same mistake, almost in the same place.

The time interval is still so short.

Griffin doesn't want to commit a second offense.

Just like his bad life before.

……

Think back then.

This is the team.

The New Jersey Nets selected him with the No. 7 pick in the first round.

Back then, Eddie Griffin was also the number one high school student in the United States.

It was Zhou Yao's No. [-] high school student in the United States the year before.

Of course, he doesn't have the exaggerated statistics of Zhou Yao.

Naturally, it was not the number one recognized by all the media that year.

However, first is first.

As a freshman, he was the Rookie of the Year All-American.

Many people are saying that if he participates in the draft, he will probably be the No. [-] pick.

However, a brawl with a teammate after that ruined everything.

He can't stay in college anymore.

It is impossible to transfer schools.

He once uttered wild words.

The relationship with teammates and coaches is also not good.

Not to mention no university is willing to take him in.

In this way, Griffin was almost kicked off the shelves and participated in the draft.

Then he was selected by the Nets, and then traded to the Rockets.

In the Rockets, Griffin's start can be called a dream.

At that time, he was not convinced by Zhou Yao, the champion.

He is also proud of himself.

Entered the All-Rookie Second Team and ranked 13th in the league in blocks per game.

Almost everyone felt that he would have a bright future.

Although he himself felt that he was indeed not as good as that champion.

However, many people already regard him as the next Duncan.

……

As the No. 7 pick in the first round.

Eddie Griffin was an instant millionaire.

The former poverty-stricken life with no hope at all seemed to be leaving him.

However, material relief does not explain anything.

Even worse.

When a person suddenly has money, many friends with different ideas will suddenly appear.

Griffin quickly lost, and sank.

When he found that the situation was not good, it can be said that he could not extricate himself.

The long time of luxury and money consumed his will, and it was also destroying his body.

He became a troublesome figure.

The number of times I was invited to drink tea by the police increased.

The so-called friends around me live more in the police station than at home.

Griffin became even more attached to alcohol.

And the media broke out that he touched something that should never have been touched.

Of course Griffin knew he hadn't touched the thing.

But his condition is really bad.

Moreover, he could not think of a way to prove his innocence.

Even those cronies back then would betray him for a little profit.

No, it should be said to be a rumor.

Finally, the team management was completely disappointed in him.

He was kicked out of the team.

In the lottery that year, Griffin became the first guy to lose his job.

The Nets have extended an olive branch to him.

However, it was still because of his alcoholism, and finally nothing happened.

A very long time.

Griffin even felt that this might be the case in his life.

Until the Bobcats find him.

……

Griffin quit drinking.

Still, like the doctor said.

Physiologically, it is indeed quitting.

But psychologically, he can only rely on himself.

Quitting alcohol can be a lifetime thing.

This season, Griffin averaged 2.1 blocks per game.

Is the team's block leader.

Ranked 6th in the league.

Also helped the team reach the playoffs.

This is an achievement he has never had before.

And with the strength shown by the team now.

It's not impossible to reach the finals, or even win a championship.

This season, Griffin's salary is not high, only 80.

In any team, they are leftover players.

And it's still a leftover who hasn't proven himself, but caused a whole lot of trouble.

Next season, he probably won't stay with the Bobcats.

The team also seems to be thinking about its future.

But anyway, next season, he should have a good contract.

……

Look into Kidd's eyes.

Griffin has a hint of pride.

It gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, Griffin didn't forget to pass the ball immediately.

At Lynx, some things are very simple to do.

In his current situation, it is right to call the ball to Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao is not obsessed with holding the ball either.

And immediately gave the ball to Kyle Korver.

The white striker doesn't look outstanding.

Just an average second-round pick.

Another player who was selected by the Nets and then traded out.

This guy didn't stand out for the 76ers.

Of course, this may be related to his short playing time and lack of time to hold the ball.

Here comes the bobcat.

Korver's performance opportunities are not many.

The average playing time is less than 15 minutes per game.

Sometimes he is thrown on the injured list by the coach.

Even if he wasn't injured at all.

But this guy also found a new life for the Bobcats.

Not much playing time.

The defense is also not very reliable.

But this guy averages like 3 [-]-pointers per game.

The point is that this guy shoots [-]-pointers at a very high rate.

Can't compare to Zhou Yao, but he is also a top-ranked three-point shooter in the league.

Korver is also in his contract year.

Although I don't know if he has a chance to stay in the Bobcats next season.

But there is no need to worry about the next contract.

When encountering the opponent's defense and unable to open the situation, this kind of high fort on the outside line is particularly important.

And this time, Korver did not disappoint Zhou Yao's trust.

3: 0.

……

The Nets' counterattack came quickly.

Carter hit a three-pointer.

This guy's dunk is too popular.

So many people ignore his status as one of the best three-point shooters in the league.

In the Raptors at the beginning of the season, Carter's three-pointers were a bit blind.

When the Nets came, they not only became more active.

Even the three-pointer is also accurate.

……

The entire first quarter.

The two sides also fought back and forth.

The Nets' shooting percentage is not high.

Even the shooting percentage inside is very mediocre.

They're shooting more free throws, though.

Bobcats starting center Haslem also got into foul trouble.

25: 24.

Bobcats did not pull the score.

The point is, Haslem has fouled 3 times in the first quarter.

The next step is definitely the focus of the Nets.

Not many Bobcats can play center.

Another center, White, doesn't have much time to play.

Jahidi White is not very old.

But I had a knee injury before.

The body is also a little overweight.

This severely limits his endurance.

The average appearance per game is not even 10 minutes.

It is also difficult for those power forwards to reach the center position.

I can't let Zhou Yao go to the center position again...
