Chapter 21: 76ers Executives Gradually Lose Their Ability to Speak
Simmons has been placed with infinite high hopes by the 76ers who just selected him.
You know, this is the 76ers' third No. 1 draft pick since Iverson!
There is no doubt that the team will look up to him, and it is only natural.
But at this moment, they heard that the top pick they had just selected was beaten to death!?
How could they tolerate this?
As soon as the 76ers management heard the news, they immediately started cursing:
"Bullshit!"
"Take my Italian cannon..."
Sorry, I went to the wrong set.
In short, the 76ers management was very angry and expressed their disdain for the news.
"Do you f*****g know why I chose Simmons as our No. 1 pick?"
"It is because of his ability that he deserves the No. 1 pick in the draft!"
"Now you're telling me that he was beaten up by someone. Are you trying to say that our choice was wrong?"
"Should we go for the No. 2 pick, the No. 3 pick, or even the second round?"
Obviously, the top management at this time no longer had much patience and good temper to listen to them talking about Simmons.
Because this thing is simply impossible!
Bullshit!
Could we choose wrong?
Are you trying to say we are blind or something?
Nonsense!
Evil words to confuse the people!
"What video is this? Take it away from me, I don't want to watch it!"
"I already told you I don't want to watch it. I told you to take it away from me. I...I...huh? What the hell?? Is that Simmons!?"
"16:0, Simmons did a good job! Wait, after Simmons scored, why did the score difference become 16:2?"
"Could it be that... the one who was defeated 16:0 was him???"
"What the hell!! Who is that Asian guy? How can he be so strong!?"
...
The 76ers' top executives were in their office at this time, gradually losing their ability to speak.
The management team, who used to use advanced grammar and speak politely, gradually lost their communication skills:
"What the hell?"
"What the hell?"
"Awesome!"
"f**k that's awesome!"
...
At last.
After watching this video, they came to two conclusions.
The first conclusion is:
This Asian guy has a freak sense of rhythm and timing!! His play feels so easy, and it doesn't seem like he's trying his best.
The second conclusion is:
Why is Simmons' shooting so bad?!
You can't even make the shot with such a big open space!?
Damn it!
Is it too late to reopen now?
For a long time, they were still unwilling to believe what was happening before their eyes.
Because this is too much of a blow to them.
They have very high expectations for Ben Simmons, and they also hope that this No. 1 pick can perform as expected from him.
But in the game just now.
All they saw was their No. 1 pick being dominated by an Asian defender.
This is outrageous!
The 76ers management had never seen any Asian guard perform like this.
Even Lin Feng, who just announced that he had joined the Nets, is no match for the Asian guard in front of him.
Jeremy Lin is already the best Asian guard he has ever seen.
Jeremy Lin can easily get rid of his opponents with his speed and quick reaction and end the offense with his stable shooting.
He is certainly also a very good Asian defender.
Even in limited playing time, he can still get near triple-double data.
But.
There are too many guards with the same style as Jeremy Lin in the NBA league.
There are many excellent guard players who have both organizational and scoring abilities, and many major teams are interested in him.
Jeremy Lin is good enough.
But it is by no means irreplaceable.
But the Asian defender in front of him gave him a completely different feeling.
Is he fast?
Not fast!
Is he explosive?
I didn't notice it either!
When it comes to Sashiro's playing style, the 76ers management has always had a template in mind...
That's right!
It's Kyle Anderson!!
The player who was nicknamed the essence of human squirming by domestic netizens.
Kyle Anderson's performance on the court has never been characterized by big breakthroughs and dunks.
However, he always manages to slowly score the ball.
On this point, Sashiro agrees completely with him!
and.
Sashiro's offensive efficiency is even more stable!!
For some reason, the moment Sashiro got the ball, everyone had a premonition.
This goal will definitely be scored!
In that video, Sashiro only played for 18 minutes, but he was able to score more than 30 points!!!
What's more, he was facing Simmons, who was much taller than him, in a different position!
The 76ers management was very surprised.
The first was that he was surprised that the top pick he chose was defeated so easily.
The second was surprise. Why had he never heard of such an amazing genius before?
"Do you know the name of that Asian guy?"
"I think his name is Sashiro? He's the one who beat Kyrie Irving before. Wasn't there a video of him before?"
"What!? He beat Kyrie??"
"Yeah! Wasn't the video of their duel a while ago very popular? I think quite a few people must have seen it."
The 76ers management shook their heads.
They had never heard of such news before, but even if they heard it by chance, they would treat it as spam and ignore it.
Because it just doesn't sound real.
But now...
While watching this video of Sashiro and Irving, their expressions gradually changed from anticipation to shock, to confusion, and then to perversion.
At the end, Sashiro's dunk made them lose the ability to control their expressions.
After watching the video of Sashiro and Irving's duel, they were even more impressed:
"Damn, he can actually dunk!!"
"This is too fake!!"
"His physical fitness is so amazing!? This is completely different from his usual fighting style!"
"Such a strong physique and such delicate techniques? This guy..."
"Which university does he go to? Is it UCLA?"
"Come on, we're going to UCLA soon! Put this on my schedule right now!!"
...
Their execution efficiency was very high. Within a few days after the friendly match, the 76ers management appeared on the UCLA campus.
