Chapter 35 Zhou Rookie Ranking [Early Morning
"The Hornets' second most dangerous figure recently is Zhong Yu, wearing a No. 5 jersey, with an amazing shooting percentage and a difficult breakthrough technique to defend against." This is the opponent of the Hornets' next game, and the Mavericks' evaluation of him.
"If necessary, you can take double-teams and drive him out of the three-point line." The strategy is being gradually formulated. Now for the Mavericks, Zhong Yu's threat is slowly emerging, and they must formulate their own reaction strategies for this.
At the same time, Zhong Yu's information appeared in the hands of the league President Stern, and several subordinates were explaining to him: "This Zhong Yu suddenly rose after half a year of bench career and has now been listed on the blacklist of many teams."
"This is very good." Stern began to be excited when thinking about the huge market of 1.3 billion people behind Zhong Yu: "I hope this young man can keep the current situation..."

At the end of March 2008, the official website of NBA announced the ranking of rookies for the past week.
As everyone thinks, the first one now is Kevin Durant, who is unsurprisingly high and long-armed young man, showed his dominance as soon as he entered the league. He gradually showed his talent in central investment and vaguely had the style of the Thunder leader.
The second place is Jeff Green, who averaged 19 points per game in the past week and performed well in other aspects. Both of them were expected, so there were not many surprises for thousands of people who went to the NBA official website to see the rookie rankings.
However, when everyone saw the third place, many people were immediately full of doubts. Because of the third place rookie, many people had never even heard of the names.
Third place: Zhong Yu, (Hornets, last week's ranking: 38, draft pick: 25th pick in the second round.)
"Who is Zhong Yu?" For the majority of American fans, they basically haven't seen Zhong Yu, a hero in the Hornets' outstanding record recently (four wins and one loss).
So they really have no impression of this person. To put it, Zhong Yu was selected into the NBA with the 25th pick in the second round. This pick means that his father does not love his mother and does not love him. At most, he stays in the NBA for a year or two, and if he makes some money, he can only play other games.
So almost no one has heard of Zhong Yu’s name before.
Seeing this ranking, many people immediately questioned—
"Who is Zhong Yu? We have never heard of this person's name."
"Chinese guy? Stop kidding. In addition to Yao Ming, there are also Chinese people who can play basketball well?"
"The second fifth pick in the second round? This is really funny. There are no good rookies in the league?" Everyone's doubts can be said to be coming one after another. Most people spit their saliva on the so-called third-ranked rookie this week. It's no wonder. After all, everyone has never heard of the name of Zhong Yu before, and his ranking is so low, and he is a Chinese who is not even as good as a black man.
In this way, everyone was very disbelief and felt that the NBA had some dark side to please the Chinese market. You should know that the United States is such a country. On the one hand, it wants to vigorously develop the Chinese market and wants to take out every penny in the pocket of every Chinese. But on the other hand, they discriminate against the Chinese and are even unwilling to treat themselves and the Chinese as wise humans.
"These reviewers' minds are filled with feces." This is how many people evaluate the results of this selection.
At this moment, some people suddenly discovered something strange, so they let everyone see it.
"Hey, guys... I think you should look at the specific content." Those who saw the specific content quickly called other people.
"Specific content? What can I do?" With this attitude, everyone clicked on the reason why Zhong Yu was selected as the third rookie this week.
So, they saw Zhong Yu’s data in the past week:
Average: 20.6 points, shooting percentage: 72.5%, rebounds: 3.1, assists: 0.33, steals: 0.3, efficiency value: 23.1.
"No way?" Some people who expressed their disdain at the beginning opened their eyes widened. If Zhong Yu averaged 20.6 points per game but did not have much impact on them, then Zhong Yu's 72.5% shooting rate made many people shatter their glasses. This hit rate is really scary.
"Fake it? How could it be so fierce?" Zhong Yu's efficiency in these games has reached the level of a superstar.
"This, this is really too dreamy... Why did the Hornets suddenly appear such a fierce Chinese?" Of course everyone knows that as an official website of the league, it is naturally impossible for NBA official website to have problems in these details, because this is related to their stability.
"Damn... I took back my previous words...but it's strange, why haven't we seen his name before?" Some people also began to wonder: "Would such a person with a terrifying hit rate be too mysterious?"
"And, he averaged only 19.6 minutes per game... How could this be possible? He scored 20 points in 20 minutes? Even Kobe or James, can they score such high points? I mean in such a short time."
Zhong Yu suddenly became the most speculated person today. Many people saw this name and hurriedly searched for Zhong Yu's information.
"This guy's rise is quite amazing, and he has had a long period of silence. But in adversity, he suddenly became the focus of everyone." Some basketball commentators have gradually noticed Zhong Yu's existence: "And, his shooting percentage exceeds 70% in two consecutive games, and in the second round pick, he has broken many records."
"Who is this Zhong Yu?"
Everyone is looking for Zhong Yu’s information with this question and also looking for Zhong Yu’s videos. However, Zhong Yu is not very famous after all, and his videos are pitifully few. The Zhong Yu you see is that the jump shot is very beautiful, that’s all.
"We should take time to see his game." Many people made up their minds secretly, especially Dallas fans. Knowing that the Hornets were coming to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks in the next game, they were ready to observe Zhong Yu thoroughly.
A round of discussions about rookie rankings rose and slowly became silent. Zhong Yu's popularity instantly increased a lot, but this was quite limited. For many fans, Zhong Yu is still an insulated existence from them.
