Chapter 8 8. Public opinion explodes! When the dunk king meets the dunk king!

The next day, the team started internal training, and everyone who saw Wei Xu waved enthusiastically to him.

Nowadays, Wei Xu's status in the team is different from before. Anyone who is not blind can see that Coach Frank loves and cultivates him.

Wei Xu is the key training target of the coaching staff in the summer league, and he has a bright future. It is very important to have a good relationship with him in private. Not only can he get more support and ball rights on the court, but he may also be able to follow him ashore in the future.

Armstrong is a good example. Although his personal abilities are not outstanding, since he got closer to Wei Xu, even Coach Frank looks at him much more kindly. Not surprisingly, both of them will be very good in the new season.

Being able to get stable playing time with the Nets is a big step ahead of others.

"Hey, Wei, congratulations, you are really popular this time! I bet you will win the summer league MVP in the end!" As soon as he stepped into the stadium, Wei Xu saw Steve Goodrich holding a newspaper in his hand

Go to yourself.

"Is it popular? Let me see how to use it." Wei Xu smiled softly and took the newspaper from Goodrich's hand.

Wei Xu has never had a good impression of newspapers and the media. These people always talk nonsense and tell gossips at every turn to seduce fans. They spread rumors and refute them, and those off-field tidbits.

Once it is said that there are noses and eyes, it will be very difficult for the person involved to come up with an explanation.

But if the news in the newspaper praises himself, then it's okay. Wei Xu is still happy to see the American media praising himself. Regardless of whether he is suspected of being flattered or not, he now needs vigorous publicity from the media. After all, the attention of the Summer League itself

It's not high. If you want to quickly accumulate popularity, you still have to rely on those idiots.

The New Jersey Metropolis Daily published news about Wei Xu in the newspaper immediately after Wei Xu played his first summer league game, and also included a photo of Wei Xu gliding and dunking from a long distance. Not to mention, Wei Xu

Zhang's handsome face is really photogenic, and he looks like a boy from an anime.

The headline of the news was - "New Jersey's second-round pick shines, Asian starlet dominates summer league with dunks".

Wei Xu took the newspaper and glanced at it. The newspaper mainly described his explosive physical fitness and passionate playing style. Especially his dunk contest-level performance conquered the audience watching the game.

In addition, the news also described from the side the head-to-head confrontation between Wei Xu and Pau Gasol, the No. 3 pick in the same year. Although the two are not players in the same position, they have the same impact on the game. However, as the second

Wei Xu, who was drafted in the first round, not only led the team to a victory over the Grizzlies, but also crushed No. 3 overall pick Pau Gasol in terms of final personal data.

Wei Xutian's god-like performance severely slapped many scouts in the league in the face.

Isn't this kind of athleticism and immediate ability worth a first-round pick?

He was not selected by the Nets until the 50th pick in the second round, which is simply a joke!

Especially Pau Gasol, who was defeated head-on by Wei Xu's team, his current situation has become even more embarrassing. Originally, he participated in the summer league to prove that he was not a parallel import and that he, who was born in Europe, had the ability to dominate the NBA.

The results are now good. Gasol's performance in the first game of his career not only failed to dispel the doubts from the outside world, but also made his situation worse. The parallel import hat on his head is getting more and more colorful, which is not too painful.

Every time there is a draft, the big-name rookies who have just entered the league will be discussed and speculated by the media, and their every move is closely watched.

Many people in the outside world are waiting to see Pau Gasol's jokes. If he can overcome doubts and become a star in the regular season, the summer league experience will become a very inspirational story. But if he dies midway, he will be docked.

He was labeled as a parallel importer until he retired, and he faced greater external pressure than others.

Compared with Pau Gasol, Wei Xu's performance last night was undoubtedly more eye-catching. As the first Asian player in NBA history to score 20+ points in the summer league, Wei Xu used practical actions on the court to prove what it means to be a "yellow man".

Can fly”!!

Wei Xu almost single-handedly broke the prejudice and doubts about Asian players in North America and made them deeply understand the truth. Although Asian basketball has not yet risen, Asian players already have the ability to stir up troubles in the summer league.

.

So what if Pau Gasol is the number one genius in Europe?

That will never be the last straw for Asian basketball!

After reading the news, Wei Xu felt very happy. Pau Gasol was simply his noble man.

If Gasol hadn't entered the league with the aura of Europe's number one genius, the media wouldn't compare him with Gasol, and he wouldn't have gained so much attention and popularity. There has never been a Chinese player in the summer league.

Having dominated the game, his appearance will undoubtedly be like a bomb thrown into the sports circle, completely muddying the backwaters of Chinese basketball.

He believes that reports about him will soon appear in China. The media's massive revelations will surely revitalize Chinese basketball, which has been dormant for a long time.

The Nets temporarily added a tactic to the training content today. The main reason is that when Wei Xu cuts to the basket, the inside player comes out to cover for him on the weak side, helping Wei Xu get a better cutting environment and increase the number of players.

The probability of scoring on a cut.

Frank does not arrange for Wei Xu to attack with the ball, so he can only arrange more off-ball tactics for him. It is not that Wei Xu's personal ability is not as good as Marshall, but that Byron Scott has high expectations for Wei Xu in the new season, and he hopes to pass

The training of the summer league allowed Wei Xu to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA in advance.

These are the things that the Nets need Wei Xu to do in the new season. They will focus on tactics in the regular season. In this way, after the new season starts, Wei Xu will only need to simply run in with the stars, and he will be able to master what he should do and avoid many detours.

.

When he heard Coach Frank arrange the tactics, Wei Xu sat next to him and remembered them carefully.

Coach Frank was very satisfied with Wei Xu's attitude of listening carefully. He felt that Wei Xu was a talented person who was neither arrogant nor arrogant and had a sincere attitude. This kind of newcomer deserved to succeed.

Frank feels that in addition to having high emotional intelligence, Wei Xu is also very careful in life. He will never be told twice about matters related to the game, making coaching very worry-free.

Looking at Donnie Marshall, Frank gets a headache when he thinks about this guy. If Byron Scott hadn't asked him to give Marshall more opportunities in the summer league, he would have wanted to put Marshall in cold storage and not even give him garbage time.

Marshall's style of play is so unique that he only plays one-on-one when he gets the ball. The key is that his one-on-one efficiency is not very high. He lacks an outside shooting threat and is easily targeted by defensive players.

Marshall, who is 2.01 meters tall, has very average athletic ability and does not have Wei Xu's amazing explosive power and sprint speed. Whenever Frank compares the two together in his mind, he feels guilty because Marshall is completely different from Wei Xu.

There is no comparison.

If Marshall wants to get good scoring data, he needs to take a lot of shots. This alone is enough for him to be killed by Wei Xu several times. In the new season, the Nets will definitely have the ball in the hands of star Jason Kidd.

, if a role player wants to get stable playing time, he must have excellent off-the-ball ability. And being off-the-ball is exactly what Marshall is not good at. Even if he successfully stays in the team in the end, it will be difficult to threaten Wei Xu's tactical status.

After a day's rest, the Nets faced the challenge of their second opponent in the evening, the Golden State Warriors.

There were a lot of players at the game. The stands were packed and the arena was full. Many people came here specifically to watch Wei Xu dunk after watching the news.

"I heard that the Asian rookie dunks very hard? More powerful than Vince Carter? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"I asked you to come and watch carefully. Do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing? Even though that guy looks harmless, he is very fierce when he plays the ball! Every dunk is a slam dunk contest level move!!

"

"It's incredible that a second-round pick can have such high popularity!"

"I had the honor to watch the game between the Nets and the Grizzlies yesterday. Bro, I'm not going to lie to you, the No. 50 rookie of the Nets is really good! If he plays in the game, the ticket price will definitely be worth it!!"

Even before the game started, the fans at the scene were already excited. They were all excitedly waiting for Wei Xu to appear, and kept talking about the news article last night.

In the locker room, after arranging the tactics, Coach Frank called Wei Xu aside alone. "Wei, you have a heavy task today. On the defensive end, the team needs you to deal with Jason Richardson, the Warriors' sharp outside edge.

Guard him, don't let him get angry."

Hearing Richardson's name, Wei Xu was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't worry, coach, I'm very familiar with his playing style and will stick to him."

"Great, I believe you can suppress him tonight, don't let me down." Frank reached out and patted Wei Xu on the shoulder, encouraging him.

Of course Wei Xu knows the famous "Slam Dunk King" Jason Richardson. This guy's athletic ability is very explosive. Whether it is jumping or jumping speed, he is the best in history.

In a parallel world, Richardson won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest twice in a row in 2002 and 2003, and created the "Black Eight Miracle" with the Warriors in the 2006-07 season. In his peak season, he averaged 24 points per game.

With 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, he is one of the most famous spring players in the league.

However, in his rookie season, Richardson has not yet developed a stable outside shooting. His playing style mainly relies on speed breakthroughs. His threat level is different from his peak season. Wei Xu, who has the greatest athletic talent in history, has not taken him to heart yet.

As soon as Frank left, Armstrong came up to him with a worried look on his face. "Wei, you have to be careful tonight! You will be facing someone who is listed as one of the top 15 rookies in the United States by Sports Express.

Jason Richardson. If you can blow him up, the public opinion will explode!!"

"Being listed as one of the 15 best rookies in the United States by Sports Express?" Wei Xu really doesn't know about this. He only knows that Richardson is very talented in sports and has made some achievements in the NBA. He is considered to be the best below the All-Stars.

Player.

"Although your college team failed to qualify for the championship, don't you pay attention to March Madness? This year he led Michigan State University to win the NCAA national championship. He is a dunk warrior with excellent jumping ability.

"Armstrong said in surprise.
