There has always been such a saying - rocket production, must be a fine product. This is mainly because a number of stars who came out of the Rockets have developed well in the NBA league, such as Lowry and Dragic have become the first-class guards in the league, and Covington, who is not even playing soy sauce in the Rockets, has become a first-class 3D player in the league. But if this sentence is placed in the CBA League, it seems to be somewhat unable to withstand scrutiny, such as the early years of the Fu boss is a representative. The CBA parallel goods that I want to talk to you about today are from the rocket, and he is Terrence Jones, who is known as the little prince of abuse.
Jones showed great talent in high school, and in 2010 he was named to the McDonald's All-America High School Student Team. When choosing a college, Jones gave up the opportunity to go to the University of Washington and instead chose to join the NCAA's prestigious university, the University of Kentucky. As we all know, Kentucky has been delivering quality fresh blood to the NBA for many years, and met his good brother Anthony Davis in Kentucky Jones, which is what we call thick eyebrows. The two of them teamed up to help the University of Kentucky win the 2012 NCAA Championship, and Jones, who averaged 12.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, was named to the Second College League Team. Terrence Jones is the sixth player in the history of the University of Kentucky to have 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 140 blocks.
In 2012, Jones and The Thick Brow brother participated in the draft together, and eventually the Thick Brow Brother became the champion of the year, and Jones was selected by the Rockets with the 18th pick. The two of them were once close brothers on the pitch, and they have been fighting on the pitch ever since. In addition to the rookie season, Jones has performed well in the Rockets' years, with 17 rebounds in a single game, 36 points in a single game, etc., which have made people see his potential. It can be said that in those years of rockets, Jones and Motel did a good job of the Rockets' No. 4 mission.
However, as Jones became more and more well known, his shortcomings also appeared, that is, his instability, especially his lack of ability to fight hard battles, so people called him "the little prince of abuse". Soon Jones's rookie contract expires, and both he and Motel want a big contract with an annual salary of more than ten million, but to be honest, neither of them is worth the price. Guo Renjun has always felt that the most important quality that a person should have is his own cognition, if Jones had not bitten the big contract, maybe the Rockets would not have given up on him so decisively. In July 2016, the Pelicans announced that they had signed Jones for $1.05 million a year, so Jones and Motel, who were clinging to a big contract with the Rockets, were together at the Pelicans again.
In fact, it should not be said that Jones's performance in the Pelicans period is not bad, averaging 11.5 points per game, if it continues in this state, maybe he can really get a good contract after a year of contract expiration. But that changed after the Pelicans introduced Cousins, jones was no longer one of the pelicans' program players, and the Pelicans chose to cut him. After a few shifts, Jones suddenly found himself probably unable to find a job in the NBA. However, he did not worry too much about his livelihood, the NBA could not do it and the CBA was not, so he signed with the CBA Qingdao team in August 2017, with an annual salary of $2 million, even 500,000 more than Maddy a few years ago.
How fierce is Jones in his CBA debut? 48 points plus 18 rebounds, scoring is like chopping melons and chopping vegetables, easily helping Qingdao get the season blood. After the debut, the Chinese basketball world exploded, Jones is a well-known little prince of abuse, the CBA team is obviously incomparable with the NBA, even if it is as strong as Guangdong, Liaoning, Xinjiang in the face of the NBA's weakest team is also a real "dish". Just when everyone was imagining how Qingdao would break next, a wave of 8 consecutive defeats gave people a blow, and when everyone slowly eased up, Jones was cut by Qingdao. If you only look at the data, Jones's performance is OK, and the average of 22+11 per game is not top-notch but qualified. But the attributes of his inability to fight a hard battle have not been shaken off in the CBA, so some netizens joked that the little prince of abuse can't go on in the CBA, which shows that the CBA and the NBA are not very good!
