NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Zhou Yi scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks in the Summer League game against the Lakers.

Blake Griffin of the Grizzlies, Evans of the Kings, Curry of the Warriors, DeRozan of the Raptors, and Harden of the Thunder all made their professional debuts.

All five players put up impressive numbers in the first game and led their teams to victory.

Suddenly, the Summer League, which usually receives little attention, has sparked considerable discussion among fans across the United States.

"In the first Summer League game in Las Vegas, there was no doubt that the 09 draft picks were all eager to prove themselves."

During an ESPN segment discussing the Summer League, A. Smith paused before continuing.

"These ambitious young rookies seem eager to prove themselves again in the Summer League after failing to avenge their loss at the Combine, but Zhou will still dominate the 09 rookies and win the Summer League MVP."

His partner, Mike Wilburn, followed ESPN's confrontational style and offered a different perspective.

"NO NO! After a perfect performance in the first game, these rookies will definitely be targeted by tactics."

"Compared to Zhou, I'm more optimistic about Griffin, Harden, and Curry winning the MVP; they're more mature."

Smith looked at his partner speechlessly, his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

So, being older is an advantage in your eyes.

After the ESPN program aired, the discussion about the Summer League MVP intensified.

At NBA headquarters, Stern was in a very good mood as he looked at the recent Summer League news.

It seems that choosing Zhou Yi as the top scholar was a wise decision. This child is born with a lot of attention, and people will inevitably pay attention to him.

Even the Summer League, which was once ignored, has now become a hot topic of discussion.

Stern can't wait to see the Lakers-Cruisers derby in the new season, as well as the Twitter duel between Zhou Yi and Xiao Shuai.

With that thought in mind, Stern made a decision.

"Silver Adams, significantly increase the number of Clippers' nationally televised games this season to hype up the games."

......

Summer League matches continue.

As Mike Wilburn predicted, the ESPN program aired.

In the next game, Zhou Yi encountered tactical targeting from the opposing Trail Blazers.

They focused a lot of their defense on the inside, seemingly trying to contain Zhou Yi's drives to the basket by protecting the paint.

And the Book of Changes did not disappoint the pioneers' good intentions.

Zhou Yi frequently made shots from the mid-range and three-point lines.

In the end, Zhou Yi made 15 of 21 shots, scoring 31 points and grabbing 5 rebounds, leading his team to victory against the Trail Blazers.

DeRozan and Harden, however, lost their former brilliance under the targeted efforts of their second-round opponents, and both were the first to fall in the Summer League MVP battle.

After a day of rest, Zhou Yi faced the Cavaliers in his third match of the Summer League.

The Cavaliers sent Danny Green and Eyanga to take turns guarding Zhou Yi one-on-one, seemingly trying to wear him down through a rotation of defenders.

Although the Masked Man Hamilton's endurance talent training is only halfway complete, it has already shown initial results.

Facing fellow rookies Danny Green and Eyanga, Zhou Yi delivered a performance of 28 points and 4 steals, leading his team to victory.

In the third game, Curry, playing for the Warriors, suffered a setback, making only 2 of 10 three-point attempts, and Zhou Yi lost another opponent in the Summer League MVP race.

After comforting a heartbroken Curry, the Summer League moved on to its fourth game.

The MVP race is now down to just Zhou Yi, Evans, and Griffin.

In the fourth game against the Raptors, Zhou Yi's 25 points and 7 rebounds once again outplayed Azan on both ends of the court.

The Clippers defeated the Raptors by 12 points. After the game, Zhou Yi even saw a somewhat depressed DeRozan rush into Harden's arms on the sidelines and cry.

Although the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets in Game 4, Griffin lost his shooting touch and only scored eleven points.

This second overall pick, who was eager to prove himself, also lost out in the Summer League MVP race.

The race for Summer League MVP was down to just Evans and Zhou Yi, and coincidentally, the fifth game was between the Clippers and the Kings.

Evans will face Zhou Yi, who led him to victory in the joint tryouts.

Evans, who is usually quiet off the court, mustered up his courage and made a small, pre-match threat to Zhou Yi.

"I think we will win. Zhou is not necessarily stronger than me."

After the game, Evans could only walk off the field dejectedly.

Facing the Kings led by Evans, Zhou Yi took the initiative to switch defenses to the opposite side of Evans.

Evans, nicknamed "Little James," experienced the power of the model monster for the first time.

Against Zhou Yi, Evans only scored 15 points, while Zhou Yi scored 29 points to lead his team to victory.

When the Summer League MVP trophy was awarded to Zhou Yi, Smith was already making lewd remarks to his teammate Wilburn in the ESPN studio.

"Haha, Wilburn, that's why I'm ESPN's lead commentator, and you're just my partner..."

Smith pointed to his eyes, then said with a proud expression:

"Because I have a keen eye. I've been optimistic about this kid since Zhou Yi was in the NCAA. Zhou Yi is the strongest player in the 09 draft class."

Smith's smug look left Wilburn speechless and envious.

By promoting the I Ching, Smith has now gained a large following of I Ching enthusiasts.

Looking at Zhou Yi holding the Summer League MVP trophy on the screen, Wilburn seemed to be deep in thought.

He will compete with Smith for the title of the world's strongest Zhou Chui (a term used to describe someone who is overly enthusiastic or boastful).

......

After winning the Summer League MVP, Zhou Yi also received a system notification that a random task had been completed.

In his hotel room in Las Vegas, Zhou Yi opened the system.

The random task "Get Summer League MVP" in the task list is now complete.

A lucky draw wheel appeared on the system screen.

The list above shows all the MVP players from the Las Vegas Summer League between 07 and 25.

Familiar names like Lillard, Wall, and Josh Hart, but many more are benchwarmers in the NBA.

Zhou Yi silently prayed for Lillard and Wall's names before clicking the system's "Start Lottery" button.

The pointer spun rapidly before slowly coming to a stop.

The pointer eventually pointed to a player Zhou Yi never expected: Josh Hart.

Congratulations on obtaining the skill pack [Josh Hart's Rebounding Talent]!

It's a bit of a shame that I didn't get the skill packs for Lillard or Wall.

However, Zhou Yi also desperately wanted Josh Hart's rebounds.

This guard, who is only 196cm tall, is arguably the best rebounder among guards.

During his peak with the Knicks, he averaged 9.6 rebounds per game, a number that was even more impressive than some well-known centers.

Hart's keen rebounding instincts and aggressive positioning have earned him an average of 2.3 offensive rebounds per game.

After acquiring Hart's rebounding talent, he combined it with his own terrifying jumping ability and long arms.

Zhou Yi is confident that he will become a terrifying rebounding machine for the Clippers in the new season.

Meanwhile, the NBA's new season schedule was also announced.

The schedule and broadcast information for the 1230 games played by the league's 30 teams quickly sparked discussion within the NBA basketball community.
