Paper Guiluo City | Step into the basketball story of Jerome Robinson, the Warriors' water cooler manager
In recent years, the Golden State Warriors have been trapped by ultra-high salaries, and they are greatly limited in terms of bench player replenishment, and they can only use two-way contracts in the low-level marginal player market, they have had successful cases like Payton II, but this model is difficult to replicate, the new season Warriors signed Jerome Robinson with a two-way contract, he is currently the Warriors' water cooler manager, and today's NBA water cooler manager story series I will bring you Jerome Robinson's basketball story.
Jerome cut his ambition in the 22-23 season, he changed from curly hair in the past to a bald head, and suddenly hit many people's faces, some people say that he is like China's Internet ball critic Xu Jingyu, some people say that he is like the Internet celebrity Brother Dao, as well as the football warrior monk Pepe, the supporting actor Su Cre in the American drama prison break, so in the tiger pounce rating link after each game, his stalks emerge endlessly: "Let a Xu Jingyu", "Let a knife brother", "Specify no good juice to eat", "Let a Pepe", "Escape from prison successfully".
Jerome was the 13th pick in the 2018 draft, but hasn't had much of a chance since joining the league, and he was named the biggest pick in the 2018 draft along with Kevin Knox, the 9th pick in the 2018 draft, along with another Chinese fan-favorite star face player nicknamed American Zhu Fangyu.
Jerome was born on February 22, 1997 in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, his father Jerome Sr. is an African immigrant, and married another second-generation immigrant girl Amy after arriving in the United States, the couple raised a total of four sons, Jerome is the eldest in the family, which makes Jemiro develop a sensible, responsible, hard-working and perseverance since he was a child.
Jerome's father and mother were both school athletes when they were young, so they were very supportive of their children in sports, Jerome was involved in various school sports from an early age, he was very talented in baseball and basketball, and was an amphibious player on the school baseball team and basketball team from elementary school to high school, this situation continued until his sophomore year of high school, when Jerome won the North Carolina state championship with Broughton High School under the leadership of NBA player Devonte Graham, the whole city fell into a frenzy, and the school girls went crazy to pursue basketball team players, which made Jerome feel an unprecedented sense of honorSince then, he has given up baseball to concentrate on basketball.
North Carolina is the cradle of American basketball stars, and the basketball atmosphere is super strong, and Lorelli alone has emerged McMillan (former NBA professional player, now a famous coach), Nevett (NBA 2.26 meters famous center), John Wall (NBA All-Star star) and other well-known figures, Jerome concentrated on basketball and joined the local AAU team, with Brandon Ingram and Bam Adebayo.
However, perhaps because of his late career in basketball, Jerome was a role bench player both on the high school team and on the AAU team, and when he graduated from high school, he did not receive any college team recruitment, and his basketball career was on the verge of ending, when Boston University's assistant coach Scott - Spinelli learned about Jerome through a friend's introduction, Spinelli is famous for digging treasure players in American college basketball, he helped the University of Texas dig up Jordan Jr., an NBA All-Star player, in 2014, he transferred to Boston University, in the summer of 2015 in the United States to collect buried talents, in North Carolina he was introduced by a friend to see Jerome's training, and saw a very unique temperament in Jerome, and then recruited Jerome to play at Boston University, Jerome is of course a hundred willing。
That summer, Spinelli helped the school recruit four-star high school student AJ Turner, three-star high school student Matt Myron, and two-star high school student Sammy Barnes, and Jemilo was a newcomer who didn't even have a rating, and the school was full of doubts, Spinelli told Jerome to fight for him, don't let his reputation be ruined, Jerome practiced shooting hard that summer, and he practiced shooting except for eating and sleeping.
Before the start of the season, Jerome asked the team's assistant coach Cunningham what his chances of playing in the NBA, Cunningham had guided Reggie Jackson to join the NBA, he thought that Jerome had no chance at all, but he didn't want to hit him directly, so he casually said: "10 percent", in 2018, when Jemilo was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 13th pick, he gave Cunningham a self-signed jersey with "10%" on it.
Boston University is not a strong team in the NCAA league, their best result in March Madness was the round of eight, and the last time they made March Madness was back in 2009, Jerome was flattered by the task of being the starting point guard at the beginning of the season, and he repaid the trust of head coach Christian with a very efficient performance, averaging 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 33 minutes per game that season, and shooting 38% from three-point range He missed nine games at the end of the season due to injury, and the team suffered a humiliating 18-game losing streak during his injury, resulting in a 7-25 record.
At the end of the season, some of the team's leading scorers led by Avery Carter chose to transfer schools, they saw no hope here, and at the same time, affected by the poor record, the team was also greatly affected in the summer high school recruitment, Spinelli only recruited two three-star high school students and the nameless KY Bowman, the famous University of Kentucky contacted Jerome to persuade him to transfer, but he was completely unmoved, he wanted to repay Spinelli's kindness with loyalty, in the 2016-17 season, Jemilo continued to be the starter, that season he averaged 34 minutes per game and scored soared to 18 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists, he and KY Bowman became a very tacit backcourt partner, but due to the overall strength of the team, the team only won 9 wins and 23 losses, and at the end of the season, it was another wave of 15 consecutive defeats.
In the summer, he traveled to California basketball camp at his own expense, where he worked with Moodier, Biyombo, Georges Niang, Dinwiddie trained on the same court, in which he felt the strength of NBA-level players for the first time, a summer of special training made his skills improve a lot, 17-18 season Jerome and KJ Bowman's backcourt combination offensive firepower upgraded again, Jerome averaged 20.7 points per game, KJ Bowman averaged 17 points per game, the team achieved a 19-15 record, although it failed to enter March Madness, but entered the secondary NIT tournament, but unfortunately lost to Western Kentucky University in the first round of the tournament, Jemmro missed 7 3-point shots in that game and only hit 1.
At the end of the season, Jemelo was selected as the ACC All-NB All-Defensive Team, the shortlist of the best American guards, his super projection scoring ability impressed NBA scouts, and it was the rise of the small-ball trend at this time, because Curry's popularity made many guards with projection ability The draft market soared, Jerome's draft template was CJ McCollum and Curry, he signed up for the draft, and was finally selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 13th pick, and he was joined by the talented player Alexander.
The NBA career officially began, Jerome began to face the test, compared to Alexandria he was not competitive, when the team had Beverley, Lowe, Bradley and other strong players on the guard line, young Wallace, Shamet also performed better than him in limited playing time, and soon Jerome became a water cooler manager.
In the 19-20 season, Jerome finally had a good chance to play, but then he was traded to the Wizards in the middle of the season, and after the resumption of the epidemic, he played the highest statistics of his career in the Wizards, and was cut shortly after the start of the 20-21 season because of poor performance, and joined the Golden State Warriors for a short time last year but did not get a chance, and joined the Golden State Warriors again on a two-way contract this year.
This year, Boston University retired Jerome's No. 1 jersey, he failed to gain a foothold in the league as the player with the highest pick in the NBA draft of Boston University, Jerome's biggest problem at present is that he has a certain projection ability, but he is not stable enough, and his defense is very stretched, completely unable to play the role of a 3D shooter, his organizational ability is so-so, and he cannot become a substitute time commander, if this kind of player joins our CBA, he may become a big killer like Fredette, but it is difficult to get a chance without improving his defensive ability in the NBA, I hope he can work hard to see his charming appearance on the court in the future。
