Chapter 18
【18】The"Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust" shocked the Clippers at the summer league training camp
"Boom!"
Griffin made a violent dunk, shaking the basket and making it whine.
"This strength, this burst, you are really a monster!"
His trainer couldn't help but praise.
Griffin smiled, tightened his arm muscles, took a look, and smiled lightly:"Not bad, if you want to mix in the NBA stage, you need the blessing of this body"
"Awesome."
Teammate Bobby Brown came over and clapped his hands,"You are as good as Rose last year. You will definitely be a big name in the league in the future, or even a superstar."
"Among the rookies, you have the strongest aura. Everyone is watching you and looking forward to you shining in the league."
"Yes"
""A standout!"
Eric Gordon, who had just finished training, came over to greet him.
Last year's rookie, the future Rockets'"Best Sixth Man," used his outstanding shooting ability to secure his spot in the team's starting lineup, but he undoubtedly recognized the strength of the"No. 1 pick" Blake Griffin.
Another starting guard, Byron Davis, grabbed a rolling basketball on the ground and said,"Before yesterday, Griffin was the brightest among the rookies, but not now."
"Oh?!"
Griffin and the others were slightly surprised.
What does this mean? Who else has stood up?
""Bang!"
A 3-pointer missed.
Byron Davis took out a stack of newspapers from somewhere, threw them to Griffin and others, and continued:"Warriors rookie Su Mo scored 33 points yesterday, shocking the league"
"He stole everyone's thunder."
"Griffin is indeed excellent, but I have to say that Su Mo’s talent is truly terrifying!"
"33 points?! Gordon blinked his eyes."For a rookie, it's not bad, but Griffin scored 37 points, how can he be worse than him?!"
"That's right."
Others were also puzzled.
Griffin, who opened the newspaper, suddenly looked gloomy."Su Mo......This guy Su Mo scored 33 points in a single quarter!"
"What?! Single section?!"
""Hiss!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's mouth twitched. The more
Griffin read the news, the more unhappy he looked. Not only was Su Mo's 33 points in a single quarter frightening him, but also because of the reports flying all over him.
Now?!
A little bit.
Almost all of them were taken away by Su Mo, by an unknown, inconspicuous rookie.
Griffin was not comfortable at all.
"cut"
"Su Mo, right? It seems I have to defeat you!"......
New York.
On a holiday beach.
In the off-season, Kobe Bryant, who just won his first FMVP, and his friends lie on a sun lounger, basking in the sun, enjoying the sea, and enjoying life.
"Kobe, have you heard that this year's Summer League has a talented rookie who scored 33 points in a single quarter in his first Summer League appearance and even broke a backboard with a dunk?"
My friend said
"33 points in a quarter? Wow, that's pretty impressive."
"Which team?!"
Kobe asked without opening his eyes.
"Warriors"
"Ah~" Kobe pressed down his sunglasses, calmly,"As long as I'm not a rookie for teams like the Magic or the Celtics, it doesn't matter."
"warrior?"
"Even if there are two outstanding rookies, it won't be a hindrance to my winning streak."
"My era of Kobe has just begun. Those who doubt me will only make me more motivated and make me stronger and more powerful."
"I will use a three-peat to tell the league that even without O'Neal, I can still lead the team forward."......
A large swimming pool at a resort in Los Angeles.
The pool is surrounded by lush trees. On a hot summer day, relaxing in the pool will be an extremely enjoyable and pleasant thing.
And LeBlanc is a person who knows how to enjoy.
Although the loss to the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals made the league miss the matchup between No. 23 and No. 24 in the Finals, since it is the off-season, it is still necessary to relax appropriately.
Look.
LeBlanc and his good friends, Paul, Wade and Anthony, known as the"Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust", came to the open-air swimming pool with a good environment to enjoy.
Several people wore sunglasses, leaned back in chairs, admired the beautiful women, sipped drinks, and talked freely.
"LeBlanc, it seems like there is an incredible rookie this year."
Paul read the newspaper with a surprised look on his face.
"I know."
LeBlanc smiled faintly,"This year's No. 1 pick Blake Griffin, he really has an excellent body, great explosive power, and a strong fighting spirit."
"The Clippers drafted a tough guy this year"
"I think......"
"No." Paul interrupted LeBlanc,"It's Su Mo, the rookie from the Warriors. He scored 33 points in a single quarter in his summer league debut.......He also broke the backboard"
"What?!"
The unexpected answer made Le Brun's eyes widen and he took off his sunglasses.
"33 points in a single quarter?!"
On the side, Anthony sat up and said in surprise:"Doesn't that catch up with my single-quarter scoring record?! He's just a rookie, how can he be so abnormal?!"
"Hi."
Wade waved his hand and said calmly,"Cameron, you think too much. It's just the summer league. The intensity of the competition is far less than that of the NBA. It's not impossible to score 33 points in a single quarter."
"That's also amazing."
Paul looked at it carefully again and shook his head."To be honest, I still doubt whether I saw it wrong."
"That's right!"
Le Brun looked serious,"Even in a summer league, 33 points in a single quarter is quite difficult. Who is Su Mo? A rookie no one has ever heard of."
At this point
, the scene changed, and Le Brun said quietly:"Hey, are you interested in watching this newcomer's game?!"
"certainly"
"sure!"
"I just go with the flow!"......
Summer League is still going on.
The Warriors played another game the next day. Su Mo played four quarters, shot 10 of 17, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Not great.
But OK.
Curry scored a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists.
However, in the Clippers' game against the Wizards on the same day, Griffin scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in just three quarters, dunking and attacking the basket again and again, breaking through the Wizards' inside line.
Fans couldn't help but sigh.
