Beijing time on May 15th, when the two teams of Tianwangshan in the second round of the playoffs started, the 24-year NBA joint trial also ushered in a 5v5 full-court match. Among them, Bronny, the son of James, who received much attention, made his first joint trial. Show, but unfortunately the overall performance is not good.
Brownie started the game for 19 minutes and 40 seconds. He only made 2 of 8 shots and scored 4 points and 4 rebounds. He also made 3 turnovers. Fortunately, his team won 89-81.
Judging from the official statistics table, compared with competitors in the same field, Brownie is obviously at a disadvantage, almost at the bottom.
In 19 minutes of playing time, Browne only had one eye-catching throw after a breakthrough.
's good three-point shooting during the trial training (19 of 25) was completely lost in this game (0 of 4 three-pointers), and the NBA-level defense previously promoted by the media did not show up.
Brownie's performance is not surprising, because his overall data in his freshman season at USC were like this.
He averaged only 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game at the University of Southern California, with an overall shooting percentage of 36.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 26.7%.
Even so, Bronny was still the most spotlight-grabbing trial player after the game. "Long guns and short guns" closely surrounded Bronny. The latter also talked about many hot topics of concern to the outside world in interviews, and frequently had conflicts with his father James. .
The first point: Frequent cutting with his father James
When Brownie was asked what he wanted executives to know about himself, he said straight to the point: "I am a person who tells the truth, and I did learn a lot from my parents. , but I have my own story of 'Bronny James', not just the son of LeBron James, and I think this is a very important thing for me."
Then Bronny emphasized that people always put it. He is associated with his father's great achievements.
But the fact is that he is just a rookie and has not done anything yet. He feels that there needs to be a boundary between Bronny and LeBron.
During Bronny's talk about draft prospects, he hopes that the team that selects me will only select me because I am good enough, not because my father is LeBron James.
The second point: I have never thought about father and son sharing the stage.
When Brownie was asked about this question, he said bluntly that this is a very serious matter. He would never do this. I want to get his father, so Check this kid's idea.
himself does not think that a professional manager would allow such a thing to happen. He has never thought about this problem. He has tried his best for the draft. If he is selected, it will not only be because he is a player, but also an independent individual.
At the same time, Brownie said frankly: "I never thought about playing ball with my dad. Of course, he mentioned it several times himself." When adding the second sentence, Brownie laughed.
The third point: high attention is not an excuse for poor performance
Due to the poor performance in this game, the media asked whether it was due to high pressure due to excessive attention.
Brownie said that high attention cannot be an excuse for his poor performance. No matter how great the pressure is, it is a situation that he must deal with.
Point 4: Responding to cardiac arrest
9 months ago, Brownie suffered a cardiac arrest and subsequently underwent surgery.
Brownie thanked his parents when talking about this topic, saying that it was his parents who helped him through that dark time, but he loved the sport of basketball so much that this feeling overcame the injury and he was willing to pay. Try to be a person who never gives up and keeps putting in the training.
Faced with Brownie’s statement, James, as a father, quickly forwarded Brownie’s interview on social media with the text: “You are a great child, I am proud of you, young king, go pursue you. Whatever you want, the whole world is yours."
Even if he keeps cutting off from James, the fact is that James has a decisive blessing on Bronny's draft prospects.
famous reporters Shams and Woj have successively revealed that many teams are willing to choose Brownie because the latter can bring huge ticket and peripheral sales revenue to the G League, and at the same time increase the chance of acquiring James.
famous reporter Shams even bluntly said that Brownie will definitely be selected. The only suspense is the specific pick. Some US media even gave the Eagles a crazy suggestion to select Brownie with the No. 1 pick.
