Chapter 123

"???"

"......"

Su Yan is too strong, so strong that other rookies have almost lost their luster.

In fact.

Rookies like Hinrich, TJ Ford, Hayes, and others are also doing okay.

But firstly, they can't compare to Wade, Bosh, and Anthony, and secondly, they can't compare to LeBron; as for Su Yan... the gap is even bigger.

For a time.

All other rookies were dim and lusterless.

The key is.

These rookies who were shouting during the offseason and preseason that they wanted to challenge Su Yan in the new season and prove themselves, now have no sound and no image.

Why?

Because Su Yan is truly too impressive.

So impressive that they are terrified and afraid, not daring to challenge at all, fearing the matchup, and even... not wanting to be on the same court as Su Yan.

They only have the role of being a background wall.

It is worth mentioning that the "03 Platinum Generation" second overall pick, Darko Miličić, seems to have disappeared after entering the NBA.

Clearly, in the 03 class, which was full of superstars, he was strongly selected as the second overall pick, a presence comparable to the "Little Emperor" LeBron.

Why is he invisible now?

ESPN famous commentator: "Red Giant" Bill Walton analyzed the reasons in his blog.

He explained: "It's not that Miličić isn't impressive, but that his team and the team he is on are not good.

For the team.

Selected by the Pistons, he actually doesn't have many opportunities to display his talent.

In the team, 'Big Ben' Wallace, Mehmet Okur, Prince, and others, the 'Pistons Five', are all tough guys.

Additionally.

Elden Campbell on the bench is also a center.

Miličić, as a center, can only play in the Pistons' third-string lineup; to put it bluntly, he is a water-cooler level center.

He doesn't have much playing time.

And with very little playing time, coach Larry Brown has too high expectations for him.

If he plays poorly in single defense, he will be pressed onto the bench to be taught a lesson.

This makes Miličić, who already has little playing time, have even fewer opportunities to show himself, added to the team's overly tough playing style.

As a skill-oriented player, he also needs time to adapt.

But there is simply no opportunity.

So much so that from the preseason, Miličić has always had little playing time and performed poorly.

In a championship-contending team, Miličić's performance will only lead to less and less playing time and worse and worse play.

This created his low-key stats so far this season: 4 games, averaging: 1.5 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.5 blocks.

This is a very poor performance.

Comparing it to his gorgeous performance in the Summer League, which was often 20+ points, 10+ rebounds, and several blocks, it only makes people feel worse and more disappointed.

And there is a very confusing law in the NBA draft.

Every year, among the top three picks, there is always a bust.

This year, 'No. 1 pick' LeBron and 'No. 3 pick' Anthony both performed outstandingly, and 'No. 2 pick' Miličić became the bust No. 2 pick.

This seems reasonable."

Yes.

Reasonable.

Bill Walton's analysis is not wrong at all.

Miličić's talent is there; he can't play in the NBA, which has a lot to do with the Pistons' current system and the coach's exceptionally high expectations.

Everyone is discussing Su Yan.

Su Yan also has too many places worth discussing.

And now that Su Yan is playing so strongly, who is affected the most?

Naturally, the next opponent: Miami Heat.

American Airlines Arena.

Heat arena video room.

Coach Stan Van Gundy and the Heat players are watching the video together, watching the video of the previous Bulls vs. Mavericks game.

"Tsk tsk..."

Seeing Su Yan steal from Nowitzki 3 times in a row, "Left-handed Magician" Odom widened his eyes, "Su Yan, this kid, can really predict.

The timing of the ball swipe is so accurate.

Accurate to the point of being outrageous.

A true Steal Demon."

"He really is a 'Prediction Master', his basketball IQ is very high, his ability to read defense is very strong, which makes his talent mediocre, but he is integrated in offense and defense."

Eddie Jones also looked very serious.

"Pfft~"

Wade snorted and muttered in a low voice, "What 'Prediction Master', it's clearly just good luck; tomorrow night I will beat Su Yan no matter what.

I must wash away the shame of the Summer League."

In the corner.

Zhizhi didn't speak, but watching Su Yan's exquisite strength on the video again and again, and his slow but always successful attacks again and again.

He was also happy inside.

'Hehe, Prediction Master, it seems... it seems very impressive.

I, Zhizhi, don't seem to be able to make a name for myself in the NBA, so I will pin my hopes on you and Da Yao.

Dragon Kingdom Twin Stars.

I am optimistic about you.

Additionally... you two should study hard in the NBA for a year; next summer, let us fight in the Athens Olympics together.

The Twin Stars and me, plus some old guys, with this kind of combat power, we will definitely be able to break into the top eight like in '96, or even stronger!!!'

While Zhizhi was fantasizing and looking forward to the future.

The rest of the Heat players, after watching the video, all felt a headache, all felt... "Prediction Master", "Steal Demon" Su Yan is very hard to deal with.

However.

At this time, coach Stan Van Gundy said leisurely, word by word: "Su Yan is certainly much more impressive than the average undrafted player.

But.

He is not impossible to deal with.

I have already found his flaw, a very big flaw that can be targeted!!!"
