Chapter 147 (1/2)
Blake Griffin is definitely the most watched rookie of the year, none of them. The same number one show, John Wall's heat may not even be half of Griffin's.
That's the advantage of playing in a big city. Los Angeles rookies always get more attention than rookies from other teams. Of course, Griffin's strength this year is also one of the reasons for his strength.
Averaging 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, it's hard to imagine that this is actually the data of a freshman. Since entering the 21st century, no rookie in the NBA has won 20 + 10 in his first season. Back in the 1990s, the people who could do it were legendary insiders like Duncan, moning and O'Neill.
The terrible data, coupled with the explosive ball style, this rookie is not hot, who can fire?
When link saw Blake Griffin walk into the court, there were even sporadic cheers from the FedEx center. The guy was so popular that even in Memphis, there was no shortage of followers.
Griffin is very strong, and he even fought in college. His facial features are angular and rough. Not to mention the guy's name. ”Griffin” means ”Griffin” in English. This ferocious creature that can do everything from heaven to earth is a perfect match for Griffin. His fierce image, enough to frighten most rookies.
In the warm-up stage, I don't know if it's to attract fans or give link a break. Griffin and Mo Williams made an empty smash!
This scene makes the Grizzlies a little embarrassed. After all, since Rudy Gay's season was over, there are no players on the Grizzlies who can fly and buckle.
Griffin is grabbing grizzly bear's painful foot and stepping on it! It's as if he's making fun of the Grizzlies' floor flow...
”shit, he really thinks of himself as Tim Duncan, right!? Son of a bitch, if I let him dunk like this today, I'll swallow the basketball! ”
Randolph started swearing again as the reporters focused their cameras on the rookie forward. Link grinned at Randolph's reaction.
The Grizzlies have just lost four games in a row. Everyone is holding their breath. Everyone wants to sink the Clippers to stop the loss. Griffin's untimely performance before the game, on the contrary, increased the Grizzlies' anger level.
Most of the League Rookie face this game can win 20 + 10 champion, sure before the game will bear great pressure. But link didn't. He felt relaxed to play against the number one player.
Griffin is just ”fake ferocity”, and Randolph is a real beast. The Griffin, though majestic in appearance, is not ferocious in nature. But the big black bear is deadly.
At this point, an ESPN reporter came to link. As usual, it's time for an on-the-spot interview before the game.
Link faces the camera with a smile, and he can guess with his toes what the reporter is going to ask.
”Link, you're going to face the best rookie of the year, do you feel nervous?”
Sure enough, the reporter's questions did not come out of link's expectation.
”I'll take this game seriously. After all, that guy is so strong.”
”He is the rookie who can be selected into the all star game in his first rookie season since Yao Ming. Anyone will be nervous when facing him.”
”Of course I'm nervous. I just hope I won't be cut off by him today.”
Journalists must want to hear link's answer. To be frank, their only purpose is to highlight Griffin's strength from the side and let fans see how much awe other rookies have for Griffin.
But Lin kepian did not follow the reporter's meaning to walk, ”this is our home, should be nervous Clippers players. Every team is nervous when they come here, and the Clippers are no exception. As for Blake, he will regret trying to provoke us in the warm-up
”Ah!” The ESPN reporter could not help but open his mouth when he heard link's reply.
This drop draft NIMA is too inflated! Although he won the rookie MVP, but the real regular seck is different from the all star game!
In rookie competition, Griffin can give up the honor. But in the regular season, Griffin won't let it go!
Is this Chinese American talent show taking himself seriously?
Seeing the reporter's expression change from complacency to surprise, link left contentedly. Randolph's here. He's so nervous. Thinking of Griffin's expression driven crazy by Randolph later, link thought it would be more wonderful.
Before the match, at least 80% of the cameras were aimed at Griffin. This guy is just his own flow, both home and away can always be the most popular one.
”Damn it, isn't it just a rookie? There's something to shoot! ”
