Chapter 062 Rookie Wall, Still Not Coming?(1/2)
Milwaukee, He Li’s home, third floor balcony.
There is a large round table in the middle of the balcony, and a steaming hot pot is placed on it.
The big dog whispered and complained: "Oh, why haven't you hit the rookie wall yet?"
"Glenn, stop talking, let's go!" Kassel didn't let the big dog say more, and pulled the big dog to fight for wine.
Seeing this situation, He Li could only drink herbal tea on his own.
On the night of the end of the match between the Bucks and the Heat, the big dog who participated in the interview after the game suddenly gave birth to the idea of treating He Li to dinner.
This season, the Bucks participated in post-match interviews, and basically head coach George Carl went with the best-performing Ray Allen.
Today, I was lucky. Eddie Jones defended Ray Allen to death, and He Li occupied a lot of ball rights. Ray Allen could not have a lot of ball rights to pile up data, so he performed poorly in this game.
In comparison, Big Dog scored 21 points at normal level. Although she performed normally, as the boss of the team, she is also qualified to attend the post-match interview.
The big dog and He Li attended the post-match interview together, which was a blessing from He Li, so it was natural to invite He Li to dinner.
However, He Li rebelled against the army and proposed to invite Dagou and Kassel to dinner.
The big dog was still hesitating, or insisting on treating He Li to dinner, but he didn't know how to persuade He Li.
But when Kassel heard about this, he immediately agreed and got into the car with He Li on his shoulders.
When the big dog saw something was wrong, it was obvious that I came first, so he turned to drive and followed He Li home.
So, Dagou and Kassel visited He Li's house together. He Li made a hot pot for convenience.
Just so happens that there are too many Chinese medicines for health care and I can’t finish them. It’s very appropriate to make a hot pot and consume some.
Black people are not used to spicy food, and hot pot is just a clear soup pot.
However, He Li considered that there were too many tonic products in hot pot, so he drank some herbal tea to relieve the fire. After all, He Li was still single, and there was no problem at first, but now it has become a problem.
He Li originally thought that Big Dog and Kassel both had girlfriends, so they wouldn't cause any trouble when having a hot pot meal.
But now, drinking is a bit emotional, and the big dog seems to be a little emotional.
Although Kassel helped He Li stop him and tried to keep the big dog from talking too much, the big dog actually has a bad temper.
That is, He Li performed well in front of the big dog, and was also liked by the big dog, which made the big dog look extremely "tender" in front of him, and often had the style of the boss taking care of his younger brother.
It seems that because of the fact that he had accumulated a lot of resentment before and drinking too much today, the big dog finally couldn't hide his words and expressed his thoughts to He Li.
"Don't stop me, I must say this!
In fact, there is nothing shameful. All rookies will hit the rookie wall, and Jordan is no exception.
I, the No. 1 pick, also hit the rookie wall! Haha, nothing is wrong.
I'm just strange. It's logical that you should hit the wall, but I don't know why, there's no problem yet!"
The big dog looked drunk and was actually very sober. Next, he revealed to He Li about the scandal when he first entered the NBA.
There was no summer league in the East back then, and the Eastern Conference rookies mainly relied on preseason to adapt to the NBA.
The big dog asked the Bucks for a price all over the place. The Bucks didn't want to give so much at the beginning, but of course they couldn't afford it.
So, Big Dog missed many preseason games and finally signed a contract and played two games.
In this way, Big Dog had to adapt to the NBA's game rhythm in the first few regular season games.
A No. 1 pick as strong as a big dog in the NCAA god, just entered the NBA, and the competition in the first two weeks was outrageous.
The junk data was like 3 of 13 shots, 6 of 16 shots, 6 of 18 shots, and 2 of 14 shots.
If the Big Dog is not the No. 1 pick, it may be gone directly.
However, the Bucks are the team that has the championship after all, and have had two No. 1 picks before Big Dogs.
The first No. 1 pick was signed by Jabbar, and won the championship the next year.
The second No. 1 pick, who wanted to sign another Jabbar, signed inside star player Kent Benson who led Indiana University to the NCAA championship, and ended up being an ordinary player in the NBA.
However, even though Kent Benson hit the rookie wall as soon as he entered the NBA, and he was the kind of person who never looked back, the Bucks still trained Kent Benson for several seasons, but found that he really couldn't train it, so he gave up.
The Bucks' attitude towards Big Dog is similar to Kent Benson. As a result, Big Dog got into NBA for two weeks and became a quasi-All-Star player who could score 20 points with his eyes closed.
If Big Dog hadn't just entered the league, asked for a huge price and asked for a 100 million contract, and ended up being infamous and being blacklisted by the league, Big Dog would have achieved success and become an All-Star player as early as the first two seasons of the rookie.
Having said that, Big Dog used his own experience to tell He Li that the stronger the player, the earlier he would hit the rookie wall.
Jordan entered the third week of the NBA, that is, on November 18, 1984, the Bulls hit the rookie wall in the game against the 75ers. He played 44 minutes in the game, made only 4 of 17 shots, and scored 16 points.
You should know that Jordan averaged 28.2 points per game in the rookie season, which really hit the wall.
But after that, it quickly returned to normal.
Coincidentally, in the fourth week of O'Neal's rookie season, in the Magic's game against the Supersonics, he made 4 of 11 shots and 1 of 7 free throws, only 9 points.
In the other two games in the fourth week, although O'Neal scored 26 points and 17 points, his shooting percentage was only 10 of 22 shots and 5 of 18 shots respectively. For the No. 1 pick inside players, this shooting percentage was naturally not up to standard.
However, in the following week, O'Neal's shooting percentage returned to more than 60%.
Duncan also hit the wall in the fourth week, facing the Supersonics, made 3 of 8 shots, 2 of 6 free throws, and scored only 8 points. Then he played against the Jazz, made 4 of 12 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored another 9 points.
But in the fifth week, the shooting rate also returned to more than 60%, and the superstar style was undoubtedly revealed.
It can be seen from this that it is not uncommon for superstars to hit the rookie wall. Basically all rookies will have it, but it is just a matter of time.
In fact, it is normal to have a rookie wall. The data of a rookie just entered the league is good because others don’t understand rookies. Rookies can use the skills he is best at and play a role in the field he is best at.
But when other players get familiar with the rookie, their defense against each other will inevitably follow one after another.
If a rookie performs too well, it will be exposed by the media and accepted by the media.
Just when the rookie was full of ambition, he was suddenly embarrassed by his opponents.
What followed was the media's dislike, ridicule from colleagues, and even the scolding of the team's big shots.
Everyone knows that black people have the strength and potential, but because their minds are too weak and fragile, the superstar embryo becomes a big mistake.
Isn’t Kwame Brown, who is in the same class as He Li, such a prominent example?
In the eyes of Dagou, He Li should have hit the rookie wall long ago! But the problem is that he is waiting for him but he hasn't come.
He Li is very popular in the summer league, and other teams should pay attention to it.
In the preseason, he performed so well!
"What are the analysts of other teams doing?" Big Dog was so depressed, "Are they all sluts? At least study my little brother He Li!"
In the regular season, He Li was in a hot state in the first game, and beat the top 50 superstars like Karl Malone to the side!
After the game, the big dog laughed out loud in his dream: "What should be coming will come, right?"
As a result, two weeks passed, and He Li beat the two All-Stars, Antoine Walker and Eddie Jones, but He Li's rookie wall has not arrived yet.
Is this because the coaching staff of other teams did not take He Li seriously, or is He Li's strength too strong, and even the average All-Stars can't do anything to He Li?
In this case, wouldn’t it mean that He Li’s rookie wall will only appear after physical strength or injury problems arise?
Something is wrong! He Li was injured in the first game of the regular season! But the rookie wall still didn't come!
Big dog is really a headache!
Many people may wonder why Big Dog has a headache and why she is looking forward to the arrival of He Li’s rookie wall soon?
That's because Big Dog wants to win and win the championship!
So far, the Bucks have signed three top picks in total!
Naturally, Big Dog doesn't think he is a parallel person, he thinks he can compete with Jabbar.
However, it has been 7 years since the Big Dog and the Bucks have just touched the floor of the East Finals.
It is conceivable that the pressure of a big dog!
The big dog just wanted to win the championship, so he had to make some sacrifices to distribute the ball that should belong to him to He Li, so that He Li could play it out.
In turn, it attracted the attention of other teams and allowed He Li to encounter the rookie wall as soon as possible.
Of course, if a rookie hits the wall and wants to break out, it requires a lot of ball rights. Big Dog waits and prepares to help He Li overcome the difficulties.
Big Dog has always felt that a superstar embryo like He Li can encounter a rookie wall in just two weeks at most, and it can break through the rookie wall in just two weeks at most, thus evolving into a quasi-All-star.
When He Li breaks through the rookie wall and his strength stabilizes, the big dog can regain the ball he has allocated to He Li.
After all, the villain Ray Allen did not focus on cultivating He Li, but only cared about winning points by himself!
Big Dogs know what Ray Allen thinks, it's nothing more than that, the Bucks boss, NBA scoring champion, Eastern Conference starter All-Star guard, regular season MVP, championship, all of them!
Just imagine, in order to train my younger brother, the boss of the team originally averaged 20 points per game, just for the team's future.
But at this time, the second-in-command team continued to score points, regardless of the team's record and the team's newcomer, and averaged 30 points per game.
The boss who really made a comeback for the team has declined in data and seems to have declined in strength.
It is not helpful to the team. Instead, like today's game, the second-generation team's retreat has very good data!
After the game, I often attend post-match interviews under the guidance of the coach and chat and laugh in front of the media.
"Ah, this..."
