Pick Westbrook

Chapter 43 This Is My Promise To You
Hearing this, Artest looked back at Li Lai anxiously, and said affirmatively, "Of course!
Because of me, my brothers lost the chance to win the championship, especially Reggie Miller.

I ruined that guy's legendary career, so I have to put the championship trophy in front of him to smooth out the regret in my heart. "

For this reason, Artest has been living with deep self-blame in recent years.

He's sorry for the old guys, especially the old guy Reggie Miller.

After the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Reggie Miller was the first to stand up to support Artest and O'Neal Jr., and claimed that all the problems were his own fault, and that he did not take these little brothers well.

"So Reggie is my boss and will always be!" Artest said with certainty in his heart.

Li Lai nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed the reason why you want to join the championship team.

But I think that reason should only occupy second place in your mind. "

Artest frowned again and said, "What do you mean? Do you know me better than myself?
Then tell me what is the number one thing in my heart! "

Li Lai paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at Artest, with a glance of insight into life.

"Ron, what you want is that damn dignity!"

In the 04-05 season, the Pacers became the most hated team in the world because of the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.

After the trip to the finals in 2000, the Pacers team, which once again had the strength to compete for the championship, also suffered a series of suspensions due to the main players, resulting in a sharp decline in the state, and the cooperation between the players was extremely poor.

Coupled with the fact that Artest was suspended for the entire season and could not even play in the playoffs, the Pacers lacked the perimeter defensive pioneers they needed most, so that in the second round they were defeated by Pistons' Billups and Hamilton took turns to blow up the two.

So what championship Artest wants to win is not for himself at all, he is for those old buddies.

In Li's view, another reason why Artest really wants to join a championship team is to stand on the highest stage and prove to everyone.

He Artest is not a bastard who only knows how to play from the first position to the fifth position, and then to the audience!
Artest, who heard this sentence, suddenly became very emotional. He grabbed Li Lai's collar viciously and roared like he was carrying a chicken.

"It's not like that, you're talking nonsense, it's not like what you said at all, I don't want that damn dignity, I don't want it"

The more Artest spoke, the lower his voice, and finally squatted in the corner and cried aggrievedly.

Today, he has been scolded by the whole world for four full years.

He really needs that damn dignity too much.

Li Lai walked up to Artest and said, "Ron, come to Milwaukee.

I'm going to be the best head coach in the world to use you, and I'm going to make Milwaukee fans love you.

That's the dignity you want. "

Artest looked up at Li Lai's figure.

The look strikes him as odd, like the way his old boxer father used to look down on him.

Hammond looked on in amazement, and even the fat on his stomach was a few pounds thinner.

"An asshole who was called by Milwaukee fans for eighteen generations, and now dares to promise others to make fans fall in love with him?
Dude, why don't you let those fans fall in love with you first! "

Seeing that Artest finally began to believe what he said, Li Lai continued: "And Ron, why do you think the Bucks can't win the championship?
Why do you think that when you hold the championship trophy, your old brothers will be happy?
I don’t know if you’ve heard of a saying. Seeing your brother’s life is miserable, you will feel very sad, but when you see your brother’s life is good and you are miserable, you will be even more frightened. uncomfortable. "

Artest turned over with a slap, his brain was buzzing and he said: "Yes, I think what you said makes sense!
Especially that guy O'Neal, after he saw that I had a championship ring in my hand, he was afraid that he would immediately throw it in the toilet for me. "

At this time, Li Lai was ready to strike while the iron was hot, and use his last sharp tip.

He leaned into Artest's ear and whispered a few words.

Hammond on the side opened his eyes wide and whispered that he wanted to listen, but it was over before he could hear it. He just vaguely heard the words Reggie Miller.

Artest looked at Li Lai excitedly and said, "Really?"

Li Lai said affirmatively, "Really! This is my promise to you."

11 month 7 day.

The Bucks host the Denver Nuggets.

The Bradley Arena was packed, and the fans were packed.

"We must win this game, otherwise it will be a two-game losing streak."

"If that guy Li Lai dares to lose this match, I will definitely trouble him."

"But now we don't have Maurice Williams, the team's leading scorer. I'm really worried about whether the team's offense can play as smoothly as before."

The fans in the arena were talking one after another, and Kenny Smith laughed and talked about what he cared most about.

"Will Ron Artest play tonight?"

Buckley shook his head.

Judging from the information received before the game, it is unknown for Artest to play.

Barkley and Artest have played against each other several times, but they are impressed by each other.

In Barkley's view, Maurice Williams' future may be full of uncertainties, and no one knows what kind of star he can grow into.

But judging from the present alone, Maurice Williams is far from being a player at the same level as Artest.

Barkley is sure of that.

"More importantly, the Bucks have one less Maurice Williams, and Westbrook, Yi Jianlian, Villanueva, Dragic and many others can stand up and score."

"But the arrival of Artest can solve the weakest link of the Bucks."

"A forward defensive specialist and the team's defensive leader."

"That's something no one can replace."

on the field.

The Nuggets players are warming up.

Li Lai, who entered the field early, saw the high-spirited Little Melon Anthony.

At this time, Anthony has not put on extreme weight gain in order to improve his singles ability, so he is in very good shape now.

Power, speed, defense.

【Carmelo Anthony】

【Height 203cm, Weight 108kg, Armspan 213cm】

【Speed ​​90 Strength 60 Layup 85】

[Short shot 90, medium shot 90, long shot 75]

[Dunk 70, Pass 60, Control 75]

[Defense 70 rebounds 78 blocks 60]

[ability value 92, potential value 93]

"The ability value is 92, the potential value is 93, and the mid-range shooting ability is even stronger."

Li Lai is very clear that the data given by the Conferred Gods List in his mind has great limitations, at least in terms of singles skills, which are not reflected at all.

Anthony's singles are fierce!

特别是在05年后，他的投篮命中率连续多年保持在48%上下，在07-08赛季的时候最是凶猛达到了50%。

This kind of hit rate is almost all done one-on-one in singles, and Kobe, who is a singles master, has never achieved such a hit rate.

"But when it comes to the playoffs or a higher level of defensive intensity, Melo isn't as good as Peter Pan.

The difference in shooting percentage between the two will also be completely reversed. "

Thinking of this, Li Lai looked forward to tonight's game even more, and at this time moved his gaze to the player's tunnel.
