Chapter 1,167 Mr. Dan, Popovich and the NBA’s First Day Team!

The Seattle SuperSonics are making great progress in the new season, winning five or eight games. The most uncomfortable player in the NBA right now may be Chris Paul.

The Seattle SuperSonics make headlines every day. I can’t stop being on the headlines even if I don’t want to.

Apart from Chris Paul, the team that is suffering the most right now is undoubtedly the San Antonio Spurs.

This season, after Duncan left, the Spurs were really miserable, unusually miserable.

The team lost Duncan. They thought that Bennett, the No. 1 pick, would carry the team's banner like the team's previous No. 1 pick, Duncan. However, they did not expect more than one game. Bennett's performance took them from The fantasy was brought back to reality.

In the first game of his career, he faced the super inside combination of Oden and Gasol, with five basic statistics and four dead eggs. If his ability is not temporary, he can forget about it and he is so weak. It is simply despairing.

So much so that after that game, many other fans of the team began to affectionately give Bennett the nickname "Mr. Egg".

‘Mr. Dan’ is the abbreviation of ‘Always Hanging Egg’.

The Spurs have also played a lot of games this season. It can be said that whether Bennett is facing strong men like Oden and Gasol or other ordinary insiders, he is really defeated at every turn.

According to ESPN statistics, Bennett is the only No. 1 pick in NBA history to have a statistic in every game.

Scores, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, every game has a data hanging egg.

In other words, he has played 12 games so far in his career, and he has not scored all five statistics in any game.

This may be common for role players, but for the No. 1 pick, it is really difficult.

The No. 1 pick, how can a game be without scoring, rebounds and assists?

Steals and blocks, it's not difficult to get both in one game.

Therefore, the average No. 1 pick only loses his eggs in a few games at most.

The worst person in this regard is Yao Ming.

In 2002, Yao Ming also had 4 goals as soon as he started. Yao Ming had 0 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists and 0 steals in his first game, which was worse than Bennett's 0 points, 4 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals and 0 blocks.

Moreover, the previous games were constantly troubled, but Yao Ming had always been a substitute in the previous games, and each game only took about ten minutes to adapt to the NBA. When Yao Ming played the Lakers in the eighth game, he faced the strongest player at the time. Team Lakers, as a rookie who only played eight NBA games, he came off the bench for 23 minutes, scored 20 points on 9-for-9 shooting with 100% shooting, and led the team to defeat the defending champion.

Therefore, even though Yao Ming still had bad statistics in that game, Rockets fans and everyone at the time saw Yao Ming's potential through this game against the Lakers.

Moreover, Yao Ming's first twelve games were more than just this famous game. For example, in the tenth game of his career against the Mavericks, another strong team at the time, he continued to come off the bench and continued to explode and scored 30+16.

In Yao Ming's eleventh game, Yao Ming finally became the starting player of the Rockets and finally adapted to the NBA. In the game against the Wizards, he scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. The team won.

This also completely ended his egg-hanging history.

As the No. 1 draft pick, it is incredible for Yao Ming to fail in eleven consecutive games.

But after all, it is understandable that he started as a substitute, and even as a substitute, Yao Ming's light and brightness shines brightly.

But Bennett is different. He starts every game and plays more than 25 minutes in every game, but his statistics are broken in every game, and he has been in trouble for twelve consecutive games, breaking Yao Ming's record in one fell swoop.

More importantly, the Spurs couldn't even see any time or possibility for Bennett to end the hanging egg.

The statistics of hanging eggs are very biased, and are generally not included in statistics or records.

But the statistics of this record are not meaningless.

If a player can get all five basic statistics in one game, it means that this player begins to have a comprehensive impact on the game.

This is very important. This is an important basis for whether this player can become a promising and comprehensive core player.

If you ask a player according to the standards of a role player, this role player can only score, only rebound, only assist, and only defend, no problem.

However, the No. 1 pick must be the core of a team. Whether he is a center or an outsider, he must bear the responsibility of having a comprehensive influence on both offense and defense of the team.

When the team gives you the team's core treatment and starting position, you need to show that you have the ability to become the core.

So even though it took Yao Ming 11 games to end his failure, the Rockets did not consider Yao Ming as the core until the 11th game. In other words, Yao Ming actually proved that he can influence the impact in his first game as the core. Power touches every aspect of the game.

The No. 1 pick in 2003, James took four games.

Howard, the No. 1 pick in 2004, like Yao Ming, only used one game. He gained all five statistics in his first start, and his influence touched every corner.

The No. 1 pick in 2005, Bogut, who is known as the best No. 1 pick in the past ten years, like James, achieved the goal of getting rid of the egg in his fourth start.

The No. 1 pick in 2006, Ye Si, is known as the strongest No. 1 pick in history. He was eliminated in just one game.

The No. 1 pick in 2007, Oden, was eliminated in one game.

The No. 1 pick in 2008, Derrick Rose, was eliminated in his tenth game.

Griffin, the No. 1 pick in 2009, lost in the ninth game.

Bradley, the No. 1 pick in 2010, was eliminated in the fourth game.

The No. 1 pick in 2011, Kyrie Irving, lost in game 10

The No. 1 overall pick in 2012, with thick eyebrows, lost his egg in the first game.

The number one pick in 2013, Bennett, is still unknown...

It can be seen from this data that generally speaking, the earlier the egg is removed, the greater the influence on both offense and defense.

Among them, the inside line is easier to escape than the outside line.

Yess is considered an anomaly among outsiders. He successfully escaped in the first game, and his future development also proves that he is the most influential outsider on both offense and defense in NBA history.

It is worth mentioning that Duncan was the second most influential player in NBA history, and Pippen was also the second one.

Especially Pippen. Pippen was an outside shooter, and when he had not yet gained the core status of the team, his success as a substitute in his second game as a rookie was miraculous, and his future development in the NBA will not disappoint him. The magic of egg removal.

Pippen may not be the strongest perimeter player in NBA history, but he is definitely one of the most influential perimeter stars on both offense and defense.

As for players like Yao Ming, Oden, Howard, and Nongmei who lost their eggs in the first game, it's hard to say what Nongmei's future will be like. The remaining three have proven their huge influence on both offense and defense.

As for Griffin, a player who took nine games to break free, Griffin's shortcomings on the defensive end can now be clearly seen.

Therefore, although this indicator data is not common, it is indeed very valuable for reference.

And now, Bennett has reached the twelfth game in which he started and played the core role, and he has not yet shed his eggs...

Moreover, he is not an outside shooter, he is an inside shooter...

In other words, according to the significance of this statistics, he is likely to be unable to attack or defend in the future, and will be useless...

This is very, very scary.

Of course, this is very scary for Spurs fans.

To Bennett, it seemed to mean just that.

The current contract for the No. 1 pick is four years and 40 million. Bennett now has a big contract, plays games, and lives in a big house. His life has completely reached a stage where he can enjoy it.

If you ask me to play, I will play. If you don’t want me to play, then I won’t play.

Yes, this is what makes Spurs fans and the Spurs most desperate.

Bennett doesn't have any talent at all. If he really didn't have any talent, it would be impossible for the Spurs to blindly pick him up.

After he was constantly humiliated on the court, he really had no fighting spirit to resist fate.

This is completely different from the Cavaliers' disastrous defeat in the first game of the season, when everyone worked hard to catch up.

Bennett has played twelve games now, averaging 30 minutes per game, but his data is only 8+6. 8+6 data seems to be good for a rookie.

If it is just a substitute rookie, a role player who only plays 20 minutes, of course there is no problem.

However, Bennett is the number one pick in the core tactical position. This data is not to mention compared with the second pick Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo is now 20+8+5. This is already one belonging to another. hierarchical data.

Among the rookies who have played core positions this year, Bennet is particularly compared to Antetokounmpo. Even Oladipo cannot compare. Oladipo’s current statistics are 14+5+5, Trey Burke There are also 13+6.

Not to mention compared with these core players, there is no way to compare with hot rookies like Magic Johnson who are playing as substitutes.

The little magician who is playing as a substitute for the Lakers this season is currently averaging 7 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game. This is not the data from the core position, but the data from playing 22 minutes as a substitute. .

Even if he doesn't compare with these equally popular rookies, let's compare him with himself.

Bennett's 8+5 data this season, the small statistics in it are really worse than this 8+5.

For example, as an inside player, Barkley Jr. shot only 35% from the field and 18% from three-point range. In the history of the NBA, the last player to achieve such a shooting rate had to go back to his rookie period. Rondo!

Damn it, the Spurs lost a peak Rondo and got a rookie Rondo. Do you want to laugh or cry?

For Popovich, it was definitely going to be tearful.

He and the Spurs are indeed very, very uncomfortable right now.

Bennett was their own P, and the fight needed to be finished even if it was in tears.

The No. 1 pick is really different from other rookies. You can't just give up.

And this is the top pick he got in exchange for Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Rondo, and Leonard!

Damn it, Popovich felt resentful when he thought that the price for getting Bennett was such a big list of names.

Especially this season, seeing the current statistics and performance of Rondo and Leonard of the Seattle SuperSonics in the game, his heart really seemed to be twitching every time.

The Seattle SuperSonics are now the hottest team in the entire NBA.

And Leonard and Rondo are definitely one of the hottest players in the NBA.

Leonard has now ascended to the super giant position.

After suppressing Bradley in all aspects, Leonard is now considered a player of super strength.

This player once belonged to the Spurs.

As for Rondo, as a substitute player, Rondo's data this season is 20+5+5, which is 100% the number that can win the best sixth man of the season.

And this season is likely to be more than just Sixth Man of the Year.

Because, of the three Western Conference Players of the Week that have been announced so far this season, the name of the Player of the Week is not Yes, it is not Durant, it is not Leonard, it is not James Harden, it is not Antetokounmpo, it is not Rajon Long. More, but one called 'Generation of Miracles!' 'name.

Generation of Miracles!

This is by far the best name of the week in the first three weeks of the Western Conference.

The members of the Generation of Miracles include Yes, Durant, Leonard, James Harden, Antetokounmpo and Rajon Rondo!

In other words, this season, if the Seattle SuperSonics can really perform a miracle, Rondo will once again win his own MVP trophy!

If David Stern continues Generation of Miracles to the end and packs up Generation of Miracles in the finals, then...

Rondo, who was thrown out in a humiliating way by them, is likely to once again stage the return of the king in his historical position.

Popovich wants to cry when he thinks about Rondo's four-year, $4 million contract with the Sonics.

Damn it, the co-authorship money is from the Spurs, you guys, the Supersonics use it!

If both Rondo and Leonard win the MVP in the regular season this season, the Spurs will definitely become a blind team like the Raptors and Trail Blazers in NBA history.

Even more blind than these teams. After all, the Raptors and Trail Blazers have never owned Yes and Jordan.

"Over the years, we have really made contributions to the Supersonics..."

Popovich looked at the news on TV with resentment. The league announced the best of the week for the fourth week. The East is still James and the West, it is still the 'Generation of Miracles! ’

The 'Generation of Miracles' has now become the number one team in the NBA. Whether it is the Western Conference's Player of the Week or the number one player in the official MVP rankings, it is the 'Generation of Miracles'.

This era of miracles was created by him and his Spurs.

It's no problem to say that he is one of the godfathers of this first-day NBA team.

However, he and his Spurs have made such a great contribution to the Sonics, but they still haven't received any thanks...

"Popovich? Did I hit him? Do I regret it? A little bit. I thought I could fix his broken brain with one punch. In the end, I was wrong. You also saw that his brain is now broken. bad."

"I was so naive and I shouldn't have had any illusions about fixing his brain."

"However, I still thank him for sending me to the team where I need and need me the most."

Damn Rondo!
