I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 29 Are you crazy...? (6000 chapters begging for all kinds)

There is an idiom in China called...

"Three people become tigers"

The meaning is probably a metaphor for repeated rumors or rumors, which will make people take the rumors as facts.

Obviously, this idiom has mostly derogatory meanings.

And the idioms similar to this idiom are rumored by hearsay.

In short, the thing itself is not necessarily what others say.But it's also because some people said it.But it has brought unexpected benefits to some people.

Calculating the time, it has been nearly two months since Liu Baoqiang started his "world tour" from the United States.

And what has he been doing for so long?Everyone should know.

But what happened to the Trail Blazers recently?No one should know, right?
2004年11月2号。 NBA04~05赛季正式开打了。

The Blazers' opening game is on November 11.What they met was a challenge from the Warriors.

The Warriors have been the best team in the Western Conference for the past 10 years.It has been 94 years since the 10 season.Never made the playoffs.The degree of his belly can be seen from the fact that Michael Dunleavy can also be the boss.

And what about the Trail Blazers?
But it has been in the playoffs for 22 consecutive years.

...Although this record was ruined last season.In terms of overall strength, it is always much stronger than the Warriors.

But who would have thought..., originally thought it was a molded game.In the end, it was turned into an ugly iron fight by the two teams.

The final score of the two teams was 78:75.The loser was actually the Trail Blazers.

Well, it's the new season.In the beginning, it was normal for the players to be out of shape.Besides, the Trail Blazers still lack two main players.Losing a game is also very reasonable.

But the question is what if they lose two games in a row?three games?Or even 4 games?

Zach Randolph was suspended for a total of six games.

And when the guy's suspension ended and he returned to the team.His teammates gave him a record of 1 win and 1 losses.

And faced with such a miserable record.Zach Randolph didn't care, and said very rudely.

"Do you understand my importance now? It still depends on how your boss, I, lead you to victory?"

Don't look at Zach Randolph being banned and fined.Seems like a big loss.

But he was still in a very good mood.

After all, Rasheed Wallace just sent away last season.He is already the legitimate boss of the Trail Blazers.

The team lost so badly during his absence, which shows his importance even more.

Of course it’s not enough to just explain.He still has to show it.

Zach Randolph's first game back is against the Raptors.

After chopping melons and vegetables, Zach Randolph scored 33 points and 15 rebounds.

But...the Trail Blazers still lost the game.

After all, the Raptors have Chris Bosh and Vincent Carter.Followed by Ralph Alston.

So 87:102?It seems reasonable for the Blazers to lose...

Since it is reasonable, then continue to fight again.

Zach Randolph returns for Game 2 against the New Jersey Nets.

No one expected that this match would be like returning to the opening match, and the two sides would have another selfless blacksmithing feast...

And the strongest player in this game is Zach Randolph.I don't know if he was restrained by Mourning.

21 shots throughout the game.But only hit 5 times.Counting free throws, he scored a total of 14 points.Only 7 rebounds were recorded.

60:65. The Trail Blazers continue their losing streak.

Game 3 is against the Celtics.

Zach Randolph's state has picked up, scoring 22 points and 10 rebounds.But in the end it was killed by Pierce's three-pointer.The recovering data also turned into empty cuts.

92:90 The Trail Blazers lost three games in a row.

Game 4 was against the Bucks.

Zach Randolph's numbers are languishing again. 13 points and 6 rebounds.

But fortunately, Damon Stoudemire broke out in this game.Scored 34 points.

This allowed the Trail Blazers to stop their losing streak and win a game with difficulty.

However, the record of 2 wins and 8 losses is still so dazzling.

And this record also made the Blazers' management work hard.

"What the hell are these goddamn guys doing? If they can't do it, they'll put the substitutes on, and if the substitutes can't do it, they'll let the marginal players on. Anyway, it's rotten like this, and I don't care if it gets worse...!"

In fact, this kind of record is not unacceptable to the management of the Trail Blazers.But the question is what's the use of them accepting it, the Trail Blazers fans can't accept it.

Three straight losses since Zach Randolph's return.

It can be seen from the ticket sales rate of the Trail Blazers.Their fans have clearly begun to lose.

This is the case in this case.If the Blazers' management remains unmoved, it will not give the public an attitude of wanting to change.

The loss of fans is only likely to continue to intensify.

At the same time, management thinks so.It is necessary to put pressure on the main players, and compressing their playing time should be the most effective.

It is clear!This approach works really well.

But it is not effective for the main players.It's for substitute players and fringe players.

According to the Trail Blazers' previous games.The average playing time of the main players is about 33.7 minutes.

All that's left is the playing time of the bench players and fringe players.

And when the Trail Blazers compressed the playing time of the main players to less than 20 minutes.

The substitute players gradually began to play "crazy"...

And the first one who went crazy was Joel Przybilla...

It's a pity that in the 6 games that Zach Randolph was suspended.The replacement center has always been Theo Lacliffe.And Joel Puerzibila can only come off the bench for about six or seven minutes.

And when Zach Randolph returned, his playing time was even worse.In one or two games, he didn't even get playing time.

So his data can be imagined.

But when this guy played 76 minutes in the game between the Trail Blazers and the 20ers. 10 points and 13 rebounds, how about such data?
...It doesn't seem like much, does it?

A decent center in the league, playing 20 minutes.Does it seem commonplace to get such data?What's more, the Trail Blazers lost this game again.There is nothing to say.

Well, since this is not worth talking about, what about the next game.

December 2004, 12.

Joel Pulzbila had 22 points and 13 rebounds in 19 minutes.And at the critical moment, he sent a fatal block to help the team win.This is always worth talking about.

…What?It's not worth talking about yet, so let's talk about the next one.

December 12th.In the Trail Blazers game against the Bobcats.

Joel Pulzbila had 29 points and 18 rebounds in 17 minutes.The team also won, can it be said?

What?Don't let me talk anymore?No, I have to say, because the wonderful things are yet to come.

December 12th.The Trail Blazers play the Kings away from home.

Joel Przybilla played 25 minutes.Scored 16 points and 22 rebounds.

And only three days later.

Still the same recipe, same taste.

When the Trail Blazers played against the Kings at home.

Joel Przybilla added 13 points and 21 rebounds.He also sent out 8 blocks.

Such data plus it is home.Can you imagine, what kind of mood will the fans who have been disappointed with the Trail Blazers feel?
Of course I was excited.

They love this big guy with a bit of baby fat too much.Picking up rebounds is like picking vegetables, and sending blocks is like not asking for money.Such a player, which home fans don't like it.

And Joel Przybilla is also popular.

Efficient performance in multiple consecutive games.Let the spotlight hit him involuntarily.

That is, after the game is over.When the audience didn't want to leave the venue because of their excitement.Almost all the local media in Portland surrounded the big man on the sidelines.Send countless microphones at the same time.

And the big man knew what to say at this moment.

"Thanks to the team for giving me the opportunity, and to the head coach for his trust in me. Without these, it would be difficult for me to contribute so much to the team, and I would have no way to prove myself. Speaking of which, I... I, I, I, 555555... , I would like to thank Liu! When I was maliciously slandered by the outside world, he firmly recommended me to the team! Otherwise, I might be 5555555..."

Also in this situation of being surrounded.Joel Pulzbila, the big boy, was crying, and he was crying so badly.Also cried very much.It seems to want to release all the years of depression together.

Too!He entered the league as a lottery player.But he has never been treated like a lottery player.It's even worse than the situation of losing the draft in many rounds.In the end, he was caught by an inexplicable message, which almost hurt him so much that he couldn't even get a guarantee contract.

It was precisely because he thought of this, and also proved that he was not a parallel importer, that he cried in grievance under all kinds of thoughts.And I cried quite happily...

But he was crying fast, and crying heartily.

Can….But the media didn't know what he was crying about.Plus he only started crying when he said that "Liu".After saying "Liu", I cried even harder.

So the media have put the cart before the horse.Almost everyone is curious, who is this "Liu"?Can make a fat boy who just came out cry like this for him...?
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out. ...Since I can't figure it out, I don't want to think about it for the time being.

After all, an NBA player crying on the spot can bring them a lot of "creative" inspiration.Why don't you hurry back and work on the manuscript after the interview is over?Otherwise, wouldn't it make this fat boy cry for nothing...

Besides, news is most time-sensitive.

In case their manuscripts haven't been rushed out yet.The fat boy's stats are down again.Then the value of this news will be much lower.

It's just that these small media are obviously worrying too much.

As the saying goes, there is no light in the east and light in the west....

Although Joel Przybila did not play as brightly as before in the next few games.There is no more surprise for the fans.

But if he can't bring it, it doesn't mean that others can't bring it.

Just when Joel Przibilla's highlight moment, the heat has not completely dropped.

Another "representative" just popped up....

And this "representative" is Chris Duhon.

As a once nationally known college basketball player.Entered the league as a second-round pick.Chris Duhon was actually very unconvinced in his heart.

But anyway, it can be regarded as coming in.Then he will use his strength to prove himself next.

But what he never expected was.He hasn't had time to report to the Chicago Bulls yet.He was sent to the Austin Bulls.

The gap in this gap?Almost broke Chris Duhon.

But that's not the worst thing about it.Then he was sent to the Trail Blazers like selling cabbage.Just like being abandoned, this is what he can't accept the most.

Fortunately, after he came to the Trail Blazers, he was not sent down to the Development League again.It can be regarded as a relief for him, after all, he is staying in the home team.

But this situation still seems not optimistic.

That's from the Blazers' first 10 games.He only played 4 games.And it can be seen in no more than 10 minutes per game.

In addition, as a defender, he has no right to the ball and no possession of the ball.There is no chance to perform at all.

So those playing minutes are indistinguishable from garbage time.

However, as the so-called painstaking efforts pay off, I will try my best to slaughter a cow...

Due to the "sanctions" imposed by the Blazers on the management and the main players.His playing time can finally reach 20 minutes.

And it was the first game in which he got so much playing time.The opponent was his "old club" Bulls.

Once hesitant, once wronged and depressed.The moment Chris Duhon meets Ben Gordon.All turned into motivation.

Don't say anything, let's start...

And the result after the draft is...

Chris Duhon scored 22 points, 7 assists and 3 steals.

Ben Gordon only scored 6 points.And also committed 5 turnovers.

So the media people who love to join in the fun came together again...

Unlike Joel Przybilla.This guy came into the league 4 years ago after all.It's hard to type out like a foreign worker, but it can only be regarded as accumulation.

But Chris Duhon is a rookie, and he is a second-round pick who was traded cheaply.

A rookie with such a low start was able to beat Tanhualang to the point where he was helpless.The data is also blown to pieces.

This is a proper form to rise.

They don't join in the fun now, when will they join in the fun?

"Thanks to the team for their trust in me, and thanks to Mr. Head Coach for his support. This is what led to my performance today. I have to thank "Liu"! Because he brought me to the Trail Blazers, which made me Got a chance to play for the Trail Blazers!"

Unlike Joel Pulzbila, even though Chris Duhon is just a rookie, he still has good emotional control.Facing a group of "long guns and short cannons", he would not cry out of excitement.

But then again.After all, he is just a rookie, no matter how good his emotional control is, he doesn't have much experience in facing the media?Since you have no experience, learn from it.

So when he faced the media, he almost copied the content information of Joel Przybilla.

And once he did this, the group of news media lost their focus again...

"Who is this "Liu"? Why did these two guys who joined the Trail Blazers mention him?"

As long as it is an individual, there will be curiosity.

A name was mentioned by two people at the same time.Even if they are not curious about the name, it has deepened the impression in their minds.

But now is the time to interview Chris Duhon after all.So they can only leave with a deepened impression.

But when they went back to catch up on the manuscript.After all, there is such an impression in my mind.Although they feel that they may not need to explore.But if you don't express it, it means that your thoughts are not clear...

So on the next day, many local media in Portland.All news reports related to Chris Duhon.Almost all of them have the name "Liu".

And maybe it was because the name appeared too abruptly.I also emphasized that Joel Przybila also thanked this person named "Liu"...

So when these news reports went out.There are more curious people.But really stop at curiosity.Still haven't reached the point of exploration.

But some things can't be stopped just by trying to stop.

Especially things that happen one after another.When one thing seems to be becoming the main theme.If we don't investigate it clearly, everyone who knows the matter may be blind...

12 month 24 number.

In the Christmas game between the Trail Blazers and the Bobcats.

A thin figure that was almost forgotten by the world attracted everyone's attention.

This is not to say how well this figure played and how many points he scored?What a wonderful goal.

He scored very low, playing 24 minutes of the game, but only scored 7 points.

And because he was too thin, his opponent scored points on him again and again.And was also dunked once by "Elvis Presley" Gerald Wallace, and became the background board.

Those who are "bullied" are simply unnecessary.

Of course, it wasn't for this reason that he attracted attention.

The real reason is that he only dished out 16 assists in this game... that's all.

That is the "just".Just reminded some old fans.There used to be a guy named Bryvenette in '97 assists in one game.

Apparently that's all... the guy from back then.

"I feel very good today. I haven't felt this way for a long time. I thank the team, the coach, and "Liu" for letting me regain the feeling of the year. I will cherish the opportunity they gave me. …”

Youdao is not a family does not enter a door.

This is what other people say when they are interviewed.Bryvenette felt that he couldn't be special either.Otherwise, wouldn’t this be breaking away from the collective?

So... the news media who can't grasp the key points, think that if they don't investigate who this "Liu" is?It is estimated that there is a high possibility of holding back internal injuries.

And that's when they intend to explore.

Only two days later, that is, just after Christmas, another incident happened, which forced them to speed up their pace.

12 month 26 number.

The Blazers host the Sonics.

Undrafted Damian Wilkins.Played 28 minutes.Scored 21 points and 7 rebounds.And also sent two wonderful personal dunks.

In the post-game interview, the undrafted player said.

"Today's state is great. I hope this state will continue to help the team win more victories. That... I have to thank the team, the head coach, and "Liu", thank you!"

As the saying goes, have you never eaten a pig, haven't you seen a pig run?It is also said that movements should be standardized and postures should be unified.

Damian Wilkins, who was born in a famous basketball family.It's embarrassing enough not to be drafted.If you play a maverick again, and the tone of the big army is not consistent, it will be too insulting to the style of the family.If that's the case, he won't be beaten to death by his uncle and father when he goes back...

But let alone his uncle and father now.The news media interviewing him in front of him probably wanted to beat him up.

"You're telling the whole story, who is this "Liu"? How come everyone has this kind of virtue?"

If there is one, there are two, and if there are three, there are four. This is definitely a wise saying.

As long as it is a player who has performed well for the Trail Blazers in the near future.Can't seem to get around the name.

And they are the news media that should have the right to know.But like a fool, every time this name appears, it's like listening to heaven.

How can this be allowed.

So finally some media people couldn't bear it anymore.

"Excuse me, this "Liu" you mentioned? Who is it? The team's assistant coach? Why haven't we heard of it?"

"??? Don't you know? Liu is our team's scout? I thought you knew!"

Well, the truth finally came out.

But it was also because the truth came to light.The media people are excited....

"Can you find so many excellent players for the Trail Blazers in a row? This must be a scout with a very unique vision. This news is interesting! You have to dig!"

Now that you know your identity, the next step will be easier.Go directly to me for an interview.

These media people believe.This kind of news report is definitely the favorite news of the fans.It will definitely increase their ratings too.

As the saying goes, action is not as good as heart.

A group of news, the media ran around with long guns.Go straight to the home court of the Trail Blazers.But the result is obvious.The deity is not here.

However, although the main body is not there, their "old acquaintances" are.

As the old man of the Trail Blazers, Rice has dealt with these news media too much.

There is almost no local media person in Portland who does not know him.In addition, he is a senior scout and can be regarded as the leader of the Trail Blazers scouts.

So Rice became the pre-battle interviewed by these news media.

"Er..., um... Liu is a very inspirational guy. He...he came to the United States with a basketball dream, but the dream was not worth the reality after all...but in reality he was unwilling to give up his dream...so he chose I found the place closest to my dream, and became a scout..., yes..., that's probably what it looks like...!"

To be honest, when Les said this, he really couldn't go on...After all, he was interviewed so suddenly that he was not mentally prepared at all.

Fortunately, he did not forget to "beautify" Liu Baoqiang.After all, this can increase Liu Baoqiang's popularity.If you want to "advanced" in the future, you can also add a lot of points.

But Rice probably couldn't think of it.

That's how he beautifies.The eyes of these journalists are even brighter.

You must know that this is the best thing for Americans.

What a civilian hero, an inspirational American dream.

The audience of this kind of news is not limited to fans.

Put it in the mainstream news.The ratings are absolutely awesome.

Now that there is such good news, what are you waiting for?
Don't look at the fact that you can't interview the deity now.But they can do some tentative reports first.If the response is good.You can also do themed documentaries.

So next.After those players on the Trail Blazers went crazy on the court...The news media went crazy too.And the players who weren't crazy.I was also "made" by these media and wanted to go crazy...
