The NBA's inaugural mid-season tournament officially came to an end with the Purple and Gold winning the Cup, and interestingly, the league still hasn't scheduled any games. Everyone is ridiculing that this is the NBA building momentum for James' eldest son, Bronny James, who has been absent from the game for a long time because of heart problems, is making his debut in the NCAA.
Bronny, who represented USC, did not start the game against Long Beach State, and with 13 minutes left in the first half, the crowd finally waited for the debut of "Destiny Child", and Bronny took to the court with vigorous steps amid the cheers of the audience. James, who went with his daughter Julie and sat in the VIP seat on the sidelines, quickly took out his mobile phone to record this historic moment about his eldest son.
There weren't many images of Bronny in the first half, but as a "child of destiny", he was reported by the American media as soon as he made a shot - with five minutes left before halftime, Long Beach State Jaden Jones found a good opportunity for a layup, but he didn't want to be waited for by Bronny, who was waiting for the rabbit. I saw Brownie Dapeng jumping high and sending the top hat like spreading his wings, this scene is somewhat similar to the violent hot pot hat show that his father has repeatedly staged in his 20-year NBA career. This also shows Bronny James' physicality to a certain extent.
In the second half, Bronny finally ushered in the first point of his NCAA career, and in a transition attack, he decisively pulled up a difficult shot to chase down the three-pointer, and the ball hit steadily, which made James on the sidelines dance happily. Before the end of regulation time, Bronny made a key steal and Long Beach State was forced to send him to the free throw line, but unfortunately, Bronny couldn't capitalize on the opportunity and only hit one of two free throws, which also laid the groundwork for Long Beach State to equalize and beat USC in overtime.
For a teenager who almost said goodbye to his athletic career, it is not easy to leave three highlight moments in his NCAA debut, but for James's son, such a performance is more than a star and a half away from his father's level back then, and it is also significantly lower than the outside world's expectations of him. That being said, there's more to Bronny than meets the eye. According to related reports, the arena for Bronny's debut was packed, and the ticket for the highest ticket price was sold to 5$60,000 a piece, compared to the highest ticket price for next year's All-Star Game is only $1$10,000, it's really shabby.
That's the business value of brownie!Admittedly, the NBA is a competitive league, a temple that represents the highest level of basketball on the planet, but at the same time, the NBA is also a business league — and James has made it clear that he is very much looking forward to the day when father and son will compete on the same stage, and considering that every step of James's career is deliberate and meticulously executed, it means that the team that picks Bronny can "buy one get one free" Get the elderly king, at that time, with the golden sign of father and son on the same stage, and by the way, Lao Zhan's retirement tour will be held, so it will not make a lot of moneyIt can be seen that not to mention the first-round pick, even if it is the lottery at the end of the lotto, it is not excluded that some teams will grit their teeth and choose hard. Sometimes, there is a reliable father who can win at the starting line.
Of course, this is only Bronny's first NCAA game, and the reference sample is still too small, maybe in the subsequent games, he can show the potential to become a good player and win a higher pick with his own strength. Let's wait and see.
