Chapter 58 A Bet
"His physical fitness is not good, and he is too thin. This is doomed. When he defends players who are much taller than him, he will struggle and suffer very much. Although he has good speed and accurate shots, he can be in It is too easy to get injured in a fierce confrontation. Just this, it is decided that he cannot go too far in the NBA. Maybe, he can play a good game or two, but he has no future! This is my Point of view!" Mark Jackson said.

Mark Jackson was once an excellent defender, and his career assists are still at the forefront of the NBA assist data list.

Therefore, his words are still very authoritative in the eyes of ordinary people.

"It makes sense! Jeff, do you agree with Mark's opinion?" Mike Brin looked at Jeff Van Gundy again.

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said: "No, I don't agree! Mark's words are also quite one-sided. I think Wang Fei can become an excellent pitcher, just like those great pitchers in NBA history, He doesn't have to score points through fierce confrontation, he only needs to seize the opportunity of open shots, and he can get not too few points in each game. If you have watched Wang Fei's CBA games carefully, you will know that Wang Fei How terrible is his shot, he won't miss almost all open shots!"

"So, Wang Fei will not get injured frequently because of fierce confrontation. As long as he plays smarter, he may become the next Ray Allen. No, maybe, he will be stronger than Ray Allen."

After Jeff Van Gundy finished speaking, Mike Brin smiled and said, "Jeff is very optimistic about Wang Fei. Jeff, do you think Wang Fei can achieve or surpass Yao Ming's achievements in the NBA?"

"He can! As long as he plays smart enough, he can do it!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Mark Jackson licked his lips, shrugged and said, "Jeff, Wang is just a role player. He may be an excellent shooter, but don't forget that basketball is a team sport. Anyone Everyone must participate in the defense. If Wang becomes a defensive loophole, then the Rockets may not reuse him. But as long as they defend, the intensity of the confrontation will be great, and Wang Fei is very likely to be injured."

Mike Brin nodded: "That makes sense! The current NBA is no longer the game style we are familiar with. Small ball prevails, total defense, and even the team leader cannot stay outside of defense. Here Just one example, isn't the reason why Anthony was given up by the Rockets because of his poor defense?"

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head: "Wang Fei's defense is very smart. He is defending with skills, not physical defense! Look at his past game videos, his stealing awareness is too strong, plus In fact, he has very fast speed, and if the opponent is not careful, he may directly catch the ball away. Therefore, I will say the same thing, Wang Fei is a player who plays with brains, and his defense is not comparable to Anthony .If you don't believe me, just look at his steals and blocks and rebounds!"

"With such a short stature, he frequently hits double figures in steals, rebounds and blocks. Doesn't that explain the problem? Wang has a good sense of basketball, and he can always seize the best time to steal or block shots. A fierce confrontation was avoided. So, don’t make it a point that he can’t fight.”

Mike Brin looked at Mark Jackson with a smile.

Mark Jackson said with a smile: "Jeff, can CBA games be compared with NBA games? Substitutes who can't play in the NBA can make a difference in the CBA. The fact is that they are not strong enough and have a thin body. It is very fatal. Moreover, look at the agreement signed by the Rockets and Wang Fei. It was signed for four years, with a total contract value of 2840 million. However, the guaranteed part is only a pitiful US$35. What does this mean? It means that the Rockets are not Those who are optimistic about Wang Fei, the Rockets just want Wang Fei to bring them attention and popularity. You know, Wang Fei only played 5 games in the CBA, but in these 5 games, he has already become a hot figure in China."

"The Rockets are doing very smartly. At this time, they brought Wang Fei to the NBA. Then, the attention in China will naturally be attracted to the Rockets. Everything is just business."

Jeff Van Gundy smiled, glanced at Mark Jackson, and asked: "Mark, how long do you think Wang Fei can stay in the Rockets? Or, what kind of statistics do you think Wang Fei can achieve in the Rockets? "

Mark Jackson said: "There is no doubt that Wang Fei can only be a marginalized role. He is likely to be given some chances to play in the first few games. Once the effect is not good, then his disaster will be over." To come, he will be ruthlessly abandoned by the Rockets soon after the heat dissipates!"

Jeff Van Gundy raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that Wang Fei can seize the opportunity and express himself in the limited playing time?"

"He can't! Because he doesn't get many shots. The Rockets have a lot of outside shooters. If he comes off the bench, he may only have one or two shots at most." Mark Jackson said.

"That is to say, you are not optimistic about him getting gorgeous data?" Jeff Van Gundy asked.

"Yes, it's pretty good for him to score two or three points in his first show," Mark Jackson said.

"Dare to make a bet with me?" Jeff Van Gundy asked.

"Of course!" Mark Jackson said.

"I'm betting that Wang Fei's debut score will be in double figures! If Wang Fei can't reach this stat, I will lose you a thousand dollars! On the other hand, you will lose that much to me, right?" Jeff Van Gundy said.

When the two of them said this, they were already a little angry.

On the other hand, Mike Brin was watching the debate between the two with a smile. The NBA is a business league, and broadcasting is also a kind of business behavior. The two commentators pinched each other. This is also something to watch, isn't it?

"Both, this reminds me of the bet Barkley made back then. Do you remember?" Mike Breen said with a big laugh.

Mike Breen said that when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, his performance was not very good.

At that time, Barkley threatened that if Yao Ming scored 19 points in any game that season, he would kiss his partner, former Rockets superstar Kenny Smith, ass.

As a result, the time for a slap in the face soon arrived, and not long after, Yao Ming scored 20 points in one fell swoop in the Rockets' game against the Lakers.

Barkley lost.

Kenny Smith asked Buckley to fulfill his promise, but Kenny Smith didn't want Buckley to kiss his ass, so he brought a donkey and asked Buckley to kiss the ass of the donkey.

Forced to help, Barkley actually kissed the ass of the donkey on the show, which became the biggest joke in the world that year.

"Of course I remember, but I won't make such an indecent bet." Jeff Van Gundy said with a serious face.

People like Jeff Van Gundy would not make such a vulgar bet.

"That's a bit too embarrassing. Now, when it comes to Barkley, people still remember that joke!" Mark Jackson didn't answer.

Both are cautious people by nature.

Mike Brin shook his head regretfully and said, "This is just a game, just for entertaining the public, isn't it?"

"No!" Jeff Van Gundy refused.

Mark Jackson hesitated for a moment and said: "Let me add a little hotness factor. If Wang Fei can get ten points in his debut, then I am willing to kneel down to him and call him King Wang Fei!"

"Okay! Mark, if you don't go back on your word, then this bet will take effect from this moment, okay?" Mike Brin said excitedly.
