Chapter 119 Angry Glenn Robinson
Author: Feng Yuanhua
As soon as he stepped onto the court, Wang Hao clearly felt three cold gazes, staring unabashedly at his head.
When he looked back, the three people did not give in at all, and their desire to fight was extremely hot.
Wang Hao is naturally very familiar with these three, especially Ray Allen, the Celtics' top three players.
However, compared to Garnett who started the team-up, James brought the team-up to its peak. These two people were not scolded less, but it was Ray Allen who was rarely scolded.
Do you think this is a good thing?
It can only be said that in comparison, Ray Allen is the least famous and has received the least attention from fans.
I have to say, this is quite miserable.
Because to be honest, at least two of these team championships were won through Ray Allen.
In 2008, the Celtics won the championship, Garnett won the Defensive Player of the Year, and Paul Pierce won the Finals Most Valuable Player, also known as FMVP.
Garnett and Pierce are famous, but Ray Allen seems to be just a dispensable presence among the Big Three.
In fact, even the fourth giant later could have conflicts with Ray Allen in the team.
But if you think carefully about the second half of Ray Allen's career, that is, his team career, he won two championships through him.
Needless to say, the first one is that in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals, if it weren't for Ray Allen's magic attack, the Heat would have been killed by the Spurs.
You know, the situation at that time was that the Heat's Big Three had been stunned by the Spurs in the game.
When no one could step forward to save the team, Ray Allen brought the Heat out of the mire.
Of course, in this season, Ray Allen is a substitute after all. To say that the championship belongs to him is a bit excessive.
However, in the 2008 Finals, Paul Pierce won the Finals MVP, which was quite puzzling to be honest.
Because Paul Pierce is simply not the Celtics' best player.
On defense, he failed to completely freeze Kobe, and on offense, his efficiency was not that high.
43% shooting rate and 39% three-point shooting rate, which looks pretty good.
But if you look at Ray Allen's performance, he shot 51% from the field and 52% from the three-point range.
And Paul Pierce, with 4.4 more shots, only gained 1.5 points, which is much less efficient.
Paul Pierce won the FMVP not because of his better performance, but because of his return from that injury.
So, some people still think that being as low-key as Ray Allen is really a good thing?
Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but wonder, if he really reaches the finals in the future, will he do the same thing?
Otherwise, it would be extremely embarrassing if, like Curry, the FMVP he received was awarded to a substitute.
The hottest FMVP in history, do you think it’s just a talk?
Besides Ray Allen, the most eye-catching player is naturally the big dog Glenn Robinson.
This guy is also very cool, almost comparable to Chamberlain and O'Neal, because he is another person who made the league change the rules.
It's just that others change the rules on the field, but he changes the rules outside the field.
With Jason Kidd and Grant Hill in the same draft class, he won the No. 1 pick.
However, after winning the No. 1 pick, this guy became so arrogant that he directly demanded a big contract.
68 million US dollars in 10 years. In 1994, that was an unimaginable figure.
You know, in that era, most rookies' salaries were only hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Take Kidd and Grant Hill as examples. As the second and third pick, their salaries do not exceed 3 million.
For this reason, the league had to introduce a contract to regulate the salary of rookies, because it was worried that someone would ask for exorbitant prices.
As a result, both current and retired players are quite dissatisfied with Glenn Robinson.
If players are still jealous, then the entire NBA, from teams to coaches, don't have much favorable impressions of Glenn Robinson.
This is evident from the fact that Glenn Robinson averaged 21.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in his rookie season, but did not win the Rookie of the Year award.
What is even more speechless is that the league also let Grant Hill and Jason Kidd win the Rookie of the Year award at the same time, just to disgust Glenn Robinson.
He averaged 20+6 per game in his career, but only had two All-Star substitute experiences. This shows that Glenn Robinson's favorability in the NBA is appallingly low.
Although his favorability in the league is extremely low, if he really makes money, it's not a big deal.
But the problem is that the 10-year contract of 68 million that seemed huge at first turned out to be a cabbage contract a few years later.
In his entire 11-year career, Glenn Robinson debuted as the No. 1 pick and only earned a measly 80 million.
This salary is not even among the top ten among the rookies this year.
It can only be said that if you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.
The last of the three musketeers, Sam Cassel, is nicknamed the Alien, not because he is as good at playing as an alien, but because he looks like an alien.
"You're a rookie, you're just an All-Star starter? Very good, don't you cry on the court later?"
Wang Hao was still concentrating on practicing three-pointers, but when he suddenly heard this sentence, he missed the ball.
Of course it was not because he was scared, but because he was shocked by the overwhelming aura.
Who is such a second-rate person? If you pretend to be cool in front of someone, you are not afraid of being slapped in the face. Do you really think you are Jordan?
Looking back, who else could it be if he wasn't Big Dog Glenn Robinson?
"Crying? I won't cry, after all, my Rookie of the Year looks pretty solid.
At least it won’t be like some people, who obviously had better statistics, but the Rookie of the Year award went to someone else.”
Hearing this, Glenn Robinson raised his eyebrows, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The most unpleasant thing about his entire career was not that he was smart enough to sign a big contract, but that he lost the best rookie award.
If he doesn't play well enough, there's nothing to say, but in fact, his data is even better.
However, it was obvious that his performance was better, but the league awarded the Rookie of the Year award to someone else.
Moreover, he is the only one among the top three draft picks. He is exactly what he said. Winning the award is not terrible, but missing someone is embarrassing.
Seeing the chameleon-like Glenn Robinson, Wang Hao was not going to be polite at all.
"By the way, did you know? The contract you signed was for 10 years and 68 million, but the contract Jason signed was for 9 years and 60 million.
His contract is clearly no smaller than yours, but why is it that while you are scolded by everyone, nothing happens to him?"
Upon hearing this, Glenn Robinson seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened like bull's eyes.
Coupled with the constant panting, he looked like a bull about to get angry.
"Asshole, why? Why am I so unlucky?"
Glenn Robinson's voice was not quiet, and it immediately attracted the attention of players and referees from both sides.
Players and referees from both sides gathered around in time. Fortunately, Glenn Robinson and Wang Hao did not make any physical movements. Otherwise, there might have been a conflict before the game.
