Chapter 30 God Shooting Turtle
"By the way, what's your name?" Brian Scarabry asked again.
"Me?" Joni pointed to himself, and then replied with a smile: "Jonny, Joni Lee."
"Jonny Lee!?" As soon as Jonny finished speaking, a black man with an explosive head on the court screamed in surprise. "Aren't you the first-round rookie chosen by the Orlando Magic this year? He also said he would challenge Allen Iverson and others to win the best rookie of the season?"
The yelling of the black man in explosion made Scala Brian and others look at Joni in surprise. This Asian boy who was not so ill are actually an NBA player! Even the little brat opened his mouth wide and looked at Joni as if he had discovered a new world.
"Yes, it's me." Joni said embarrassedly.
"Good boy, he is actually a NBA player! Congratulations!" Brian Scarabry Brian seemed very surprised. He punched Joni on the shoulder with his fist, as if from this moment, they had become good brothers.
"By the way, let me introduce it to you. Jason, the full name Jason Capono, is the best three-pointer shooter in our stadium. The three-pointer is very accurate. He can hit continuously without anyone being on guard. Now he plays in Articia High School." The white man named Jason smiled and nodded to Joni. Jason Capono, Joni doesn't know him, but if he is a real fan, he will know that this person named Jason Capono will be the later NBA three-pointer king!
Then, Brian Scarabry pointed to the little kid who had always been emotional about Jonny and said, "He is the clever trick here, named Russell Westbrook. Look at this kid, he was still dissatisfied just now, and now he is smiling like a flower."
Russell Westbrook, Jonny is not familiar with it. Of course, if a real fan comes this time, he will probably have to let Jonny commit suicide by separatism. The turtle doesn't know, and he is also a NBA. Such a good thing for time travel is better to give it to me.
Now Russell Westbrook, when he heard that Joni was actually an NBA player, he no longer had the same emotions as before. With a little embarrassed, Russell Westbrook even admired him a little. Yes, it was just worshipping him. He thought Joni was so powerful that he even played with the NBA.
"Little brat, you can also hit NBA." Joni said with a smile, and immediately made this little brat who looked very much like a ninja turtle laugh.
Russell Westbrook suddenly slapped his head, as if he had thought of something, searched in the crowd, and then seemed to find something, his eyes shone, then waved to the crowd, and then pulled someone up and introduced him excitedly: "Mr. Joni, his name is Kevin Love, and he is also from our stadium, oh! By the way, his father is Stan Love, and he has also played in the NBA."
Kevin Love looked at Jonny with a little embarrassed look, and Jonny smiled again. He knew what Russell Westbrook meant, so he said, "Little guy, you will play NBA too! Work hard!" Then he bent his right arm forward and made a cheerful move.
Not long after, Joni said goodbye to these friends who had been with him for a short time. He had to go back. It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. He had a meal with these friends. If he didn't go back, he might not be able to enter the hotel and could only sleep on the streets.
The result of the game against the Los Angeles Lakers that night was also revealed. Without Jonny's team, the Magic lost the game without surprise, and Kobe also scored 38 points in this game. Jonny was speechless. If he was given the match, would it be the result?
However, two days later, Joni finally made a comeback again, and his opponent was the last opponent of the Magic this season's summer league, the Golden State Warriors.
There is indeed nothing to excite people in this game against the Warriors, because the Warriors are now ranked mid-ranking teams in the league, which have no characteristics and are not noticeable. Perhaps this game is still very meaningful for Joni. This is his comeback after a game, and in the Warriors' lineup, there are also high-ranking rookies like Todd Fuller.
However, Todd Fuller's performance has not been very good so far. In addition to the different positions, Jonny only vented the depression of holding up a game in this game and vented the Warriors' shooting guard, Melvin Burke, a player who entered the NBA in the non-draft draft, was suddenly sieve by Jonny in this game, causing Jonny to crazily scored 44 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
Joni had a lot of assists in this game, mainly because he was infected by Joni before this game. Amal McCasgill also wanted to beat Todd Fuller to prove himself, so he licked his face and asked Lu for an assist, so Lu gave it, which also made Lu get a lot of assists in this game, most of which came from McCasgill.
In the end, the Magic defeated the Warriors, and the best player in this game was naturally Jonny.
However, after this game, the league announced several honors in the Long Beach Summer League, among which the best player was taken away by Kobe, which made Joni very angry. Another honor even more made Joni feel even more angry. Among the best team selected by the league, the two defenders in the first team were Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant.
As for Joni, he was only selected for the third team, but in fact, there are only about 10 teams participating in the Long Beach Summer League. The few good players in these teams can be imagined. As the best player in the Magic team, winning the best third team can only be regarded as a consolation prize.
This also made Joni quite dissatisfied. He felt that if he hadn't been suspended for two games by Ricci Adubatu, he would have been likely to get the best player this time, and at least he would have occupied a place in the first team of the best team.
"Jonny, it's a pity that you only got one Best Third Team, but that Kobe is really strong. You didn't come and didn't see it in the last game. That's really..." Amal McCasgill felt sorry for Jone that he only got one Best Third Team, but then he began to praise Kobe in a hurry.
Joni's face turned dark, and he barely listened to McCasgill's flattery, and then he couldn't stand it anymore, because Darrell Armstrong, who was beating Aaron Iverson again, and he also belittled himself: "Yes, yes, and that Aaron Iverson, I still remember that game. For a breakthrough, fortunately it was Joni who defended him, otherwise I would be the one who made a fool of himself!"
"Yes, this year's rookie is really strong!" Another rookie Brian Evans also sighed that in recent games, this rookie who played in the small forward position has become a team with Jonny and the others. After all, they are all young people of the same age and they have many common topics.
