"Kaitou Kidd" is here? The second ball is expected to join the Lakers, and Ball’s dad is crazy about it

As we all know, Ball’s father (the father of Lonzo Ball and LaMelo Ball) has always been known as a big mouth. He dares to say anything and beat Jordan every minute. James is not worthy of his son. Assistance or something - although his approach attracted a lot of traffic, it also offended many people.

Ball’s father’s high profile has made his sons feel tremendous pressure from the league. Lonzo Ball, the eldest brother who was the first to enter the NBA, was targeted by many stars during his rookie season. He was wildly ridiculed by Beverley, and after being selected to the Hornets with three goals, he also suffered huge pressure from public opinion supervision. Once he didn't play well in a game, he was madly chased by fans and media.

But fortunately, the two young men from the Ball family were trained by their father to withstand great pressure since childhood. The eldest brother successfully received the Bulls' 80 million contract, while the third brother received the final contract. A great rookie with a bright future.

The worst thing is the second child. He has all the talent, but he can't even play in the NBA.

The second child of the ball family is named LiAngelo Ball (hereinafter referred to as "two goals"). Yes, he is the "Kidd" that we are very familiar with - the second ball is the most widely known. One thing Chinese fans know is shoplifting in China.

When UCLA was participating in the trip to China, Erqiu followed the team to Hangzhou. In the shopping mall next to the West Lake in Hangzhou, Erqiu and two teammates walked into a Louis Vuitton store and went to the second floor. Attracted by the sunglasses on display on the wall, Erqiu wanted to buy a pair of RMB 730 glasses, but when he tried to swipe his credit card, he found that his American bank card could not be used, so he had a weird idea and the three of them each picked up a pair. pair of glasses and walked out without paying.

Later, their thief behavior was not over yet. They entered another building and took away some glasses worth 15 dollars a pair in an ordinary store. After that, they went to H&M to pick up five glasses. The bracelet, which retails for $6 apiece, returned to the hotel with joy.

However, this behavior did not escape the dense cameras in China. The next day, the Louis Vuitton store where the theft was discovered immediately called the police. It only took the police 10 minutes to lock the three of them and arrest them. The three "thiefs" were taken away from the hotel half an hour later.

What happened next was very simple. China wanted to deal with them, and the Americans launched various relationships to save their own face. In the end, former US President Trump came forward to save these three players. .

However, after this incident, the reputation of the second ball was also ruined. He was called "NCAA's Phantom Thief Kidd" by netizens who did not want to do anything. After this incident, three players were suspended for one season. In anger, he led the second and third goals to Lithuania to play.

This experience of stealing had a great impact on the second goal - NBA managers have always disliked players with poor conduct, thinking that they would risk blowing up the locker room. They preferred Players with good character will not pollute the locker room even if they cannot play well (the Cavaliers like polite players best, such as Bennett).

All in all, Ergo's originally bright NBA future has been cast into a thick layer of fog by his stealing behavior. Originally, he played step by step at UCLA and could at least be selected in the second round. .

But now, three years of drafts have passed, and the second ball has been byed every year. No team is willing to select him, and they are not willing to spend it on him even in the second round.

In fact, it is not that Erqiu has never had the opportunity to join an NBA team. In 2018, Ball’s father begged the Lakers to select Erqiu in the second round. Because of Lonzo Ball’s relationship, the Lakers reluctantly agreed. I would seriously consider picking the second ball, but Ball’s dad, a loudmouth, went directly to the show and said that the Lakers had promised to pick the second ball. He also said that James had already locked up the championship with the second ball. It’s obvious that Ball’s dad knew what the Lakers meant. It's not a clear choice, but just consideration. These behaviors are equivalent to Ball's father putting pressure on the Lakers and urging the Lakers to choose the second ball.

But the Lakers have always been soft-spoken, and this was also clearly demonstrated in the handling of Schroeder this year - the Lakers management told the ball dad, if you want to do this, then I will not choose it. So, they used two second-round picks to select Isaac Bonga and Mykhailiuk.

The ball dad had no choice but to take Erqiu around to find connections. However, Erqiu was injured at a critical moment. After a year of rest, he finally got a chance to play in Oklahoma City, the Thunder's G-League team. The Ma Xiaolan team got a chance, but before the second ball could play, the epidemic came. The NBA and the Development League were suspended, and the second ball lost the opportunity again.

In 2020, the Pistons handed Ergou an Exhibit 10 contract, but waived him directly before the start of the season, and Ergou was never inquired about again.

Of course, compared to ordinary unsuccessful players, the second goal does not have to be ups and downs. He has a ball dad, an eldest brother and a third brother who play in the NBA. Especially the third brother, because he won the championship. As a rookie, he was highly regarded by the Hornets. Sangoo asked the Hornets to let him bring his second brother to try out for training. The Hornets agreed and invited Ergoo to represent the team in the NBA Summer League.

Of course, the Hornets are just pleasing three goals, and everyone on earth knows this.

However, the second ball is quite promising. He seized this opportunity-in his first appearance in the Summer League, the second ball was extremely efficient and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. , he only used 16 minutes and shot 5 of 8 from beyond the arc.

Next, when facing the Kings (Summer League Champions), Ergo scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Compared with the three-point firepower shown in the first game, Ergo scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals in this game. He showed a very tough defense, both in terms of defensive ability and level of commitment, which are very eye-catching, and people can see the shadow of Beverley.

In the next few games, Erqiu continued to show his strength, averaging 2 three-pointers per game, and also showed his usual talent in passing. The imagination is free.

As a result, his name appeared in the memos of managers of major teams.

In view of the fact that the Hornets now have 19 players and a rich back line, it is unlikely that the Hornets will keep Er Goal. On the contrary, the Pacers may give Er Goal a two-way contract opportunity. Of course, Nick Ball also has vacancies and a two-way contract, but the one that excites ball players the most is the Lakers. The Lakers continue to fill the lineup with a large number of basic-salary players, and ball dads are also trying their best to lobby the Lakers management to give Ball 2 a chance.

If the Lakers finally fill up the lineup and find that there is still room, then they are willing to give the second ball a chance, provided that Ball’s dad doesn’t keep pushing, and this time, Ball’s dad really doesn’t do anything. He said it (even though everyone farted when he said it).

As for the thief incident, Tucker Jr. of the Lakers has a history of stealing (some say it was a misunderstanding), but the Lakers still renewed his contract. In the NBA, strength is always greater than anything else, and honor can cover up many mistakes. , before the second-goal ability was not enough, then other teams would also care about his behavior, but if the second-goal can reach the level of Qiu Ge and the third-goal, the thief incident will become an after-dinner joke.

If there is really a chance to join an NBA team, no matter which team it is, it will be a huge improvement for Erqiu. After realizing his long-cherished wish, the three ball players Both of his sons have entered the NBA, and the ball dad is probably going crazy with joy.

After all, there are three brothers playing together in the league, namely the three Antetokounmpo brothers, and Antetokounmpo's two brothers are both top players, but Qiu and Sanqiu are all-star materials.

We will surely be able to see what the 23-year-old second ball is like soon.
