Pick Westbrook

Chapter 47 Formation of Lineup
on the field.

All Bucks players high-five.

For a professional NBA player, nothing is more important than winning a game.

Artest enjoyed the cheers of his teammates for the first time in many years.

Yi Jianlian and George Hill did not know where they learned to kill with the head, and they slapped Artest's head for a while.

Artest thought to himself, do you all know who I am, dare to touch my head?

Westbrook came over and slapped Artest on the forehead and said, "Ron, can you teach me defense, I think your defense is really strong."

Artest has a good impression of this junior, and in his eyes, the opponent's physical talent has great potential to become a defensive champion.

"Of course, the premise is that you have to learn boxing from me first."

Barkley in the commentary seat almost laughed out loud watching this scene on the court.

These young players of the Bucks have never competed with Artest. Even when the incident happened at the Palace of Auburn Hills in 04, they didn't know which middle school they were studying in.

So these players obviously don't know how ruthless the four villains in the NBA are.

"Of course, that's a good thing."

"Except for the few real superstars in the league who can convince Artest, most of the rest of the players are afraid when facing Artest."

"In this case, even if they are teammates, getting along is extremely awkward."

"But the Bucks are different. This is a group of young people who don't know anything. That's much more casual."

During the post-match interview, Li Lai deliberately brought Artest and Westbrook with him.

This time is not only the post-match summary, but also Artest's welcome conference.

One of the reporters first said: "In this game against the Nuggets, Artest only scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

There is obviously a big gap between this data and his average of 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game when he was in the Kings.

Is Artest completely unsuitable for the Bucks' tactical system? "

Except for this reporter, other reporters spoke out one after another, but the questions they asked were not very friendly.

"Anthony scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in this game. Artest seems to be completely unable to limit the top scorer in the NBA.

Can he really help the Bucks? "

"How will Artest use violence on the court to solve problems again in the future, will the Bucks trade him immediately?"

"Artest will lead the young Bucks badly, for sure."

Facing countless reporters with sharp eyes and fierce words, Li Lai did not choose to answer them one by one.

什么阿泰斯特只得到了12分6篮板3助攻，他那2个抢断和1个盖帽的数据是被你吃掉了么？
Anthony felt so good in this game, but Artest made 26 of 11 shots and made 4 turnovers.

This result is not good enough?

Also, why can Artest, who joined the FireWire, be able to adapt to the Bucks' offensive system immediately?

He is not an off-ball master like Durant and Thompson in the future, and he can go to any team to achieve a seamless connection.

Instead, he's just a defensive gatekeeper.

All he needs to do is defend!
And tonight, he did a great job defending!

Artest, who has long been used to being ridiculed by reporters, was not angry at this time.

Because no matter what stats he puts up, these reporters will always pick on him.

He knew that these reporters were just laymen and couldn't see his role on the court.

But the Bucks' players and coaches must know how much value he brings to this game.

"It's just that, being said so, I still can't help but have the urge to smash them."

At this time, Li Lai stood up directly, and angrily punched the table in front of him.

All the reporters gasped in fright, and Artest was also attracted by this punch.

Li said: "Starting today, Artest will be the leader of the Bucks.

On the pitch, and in the locker room! "

This is Li Lai's answer.

There was a burst of exclamation in the press conference.

The Bucks dare to let Artest, who committed a heinous crime, be the leader of the team?
Aren't they afraid that this guy's violent temper will beat up all the team members?
Moreover, what virtue and ability does Artest have, why should he be the leader of a team?

A few reporters wanted to say something and try to persuade Li to come, but Westbrook was already applauding.

"I agree!"

Reporters: You agree with the wool, the point is this?

Artest looked at Li Lai, his eyes moistened.

"A leader, a leader like big brother Reggie Miller."

After a long while, Artest finally looked at Li Lai seriously and said, "Coach, your punch just now was very amateurish.

Want to learn boxing, I can teach you. "

At the same time, Artest chose to face these reporters head-on for the first time, and made an oath: "From now on, I will protect everyone in the Bucks just like Reggie Miller once protected me."

After the press conference.

Li Lai once again got the message of the Gods List from his mind.

[It is detected that the players under his command have already appeared as star players whose potential value has reached more than 85. Do they enter the Conferred God training? 】

This news surprised Li Lai.

Originally, in his opinion, Fengshen training should only be useful to those potential rookies who have just entered the NBA. Even if it is not good, it should be a player who is on a rookie contract.

And Artest, who is about to turn 29, has reached the peak of his career. How can he train at this time?
"Yes!"

After Li Lai agreed without hesitation, the list of gods in the middle of the gossip stage vibrated slightly, and then a new statue rose slowly near the statue of Westbrook on the edge.

Artest bent his legs and spread his hands, the jersey on his body was broken, and he looked like a beast.

[Ron Artest:
Entering the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is a godsend. 】

"Just this one goal?"

Li Lai frowned slightly, but he soon realized how difficult it was to accomplish this goal.

Originally, Artest could break the domination of DPOY by inside players and become the first person in NBA history to win the best defensive player as a small forward.

He should have been a Hall of Famer.

If you can get a championship ring in the future, or enter the league's best defensive team a few more times, then becoming a Hall of Fame player is even more certain.

"But because of that damn Palace of Auburn Hills thing.

Not only Artest, but also Ben Wallace, who is richer in defensive honors, also did not enter the Hall of Fame in the future for this reason. "

The league doesn't treat players with such a bad record as celebrities, it just sets a bad example for future players and fans.

Li Lai felt the pressure of this goal.

【Ron Artest】

【Height 201cm, Weight 118kg, Armspan 217cm】

【Speed ​​84 Strength 80 Layup 80】

[Short shot 80, medium shot 75, long shot 70]

[Dunk 70, Pass 50, Control 55]

[Defense 90 rebounds 70 blocks 75]

[ability value 86, potential value 87]

Seeing this ability value, Li Lai was quite satisfied.

"As expected of Artest, this ability value is currently the highest among all the players of the Bucks."

And that 90% defensive ability was particularly dazzling in Li Lai's eyes.

The Bucks lineup is finally taking shape!
Just when Li Lai was about to withdraw from his mind, there were some splashes on the Bagua Fengping Stage, the Conferred Gods List trembled slightly, and three light clusters soon appeared from the clear water falling from the sky.

【Defense Strengthening】, 【Offensive Strengthening】, 【Gold Medal Training】
