Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 590 Shaq, do you think I am invincible?

Chapter 590 Shaq, do you think I am invincible?
Early in the morning of May 2016, 5.

Thabeet left his residence and came to the Bobcats' team training hall.

The Bobcats' training environment has always been very good. Although Coach D has never required players to arrive early, almost every player will arrive early.

Among them, the team's two star players, Jordan and Beasley, are often the first to arrive at the team.

In fact, for many stars who have established families and careers, being on time is good enough. They have families, wives and children, so how can they get up so early every day to come to the team for training?

So Jordan and Beasley took the lead, and even O'Neal was involved. How could the other players on the Bobcats not get involved?
Even Kidd, who came to the Bobcats not to play basketball but to learn coaching skills, usually comes to the team very early.

Because these team bosses come to the team training early, the team staff do not come early. They go to work and get off work on time, and their salary is just that. Leaving early and coming back late is considered overtime. It's not that Jordan, the team owner, cannot afford overtime pay, but even if there is overtime pay, these people are unwilling to work overtime.

Therefore, with the American staff serving the players, only the young people of the team can serve the team's star players.

Thabeet, Norman Powell, Myles Turner, China Ding.

In the past, the four of them were the team's younger brothers who carried bags, served tea, brought water, and waited on people.

However, now that China Ding has made his mark, even if China Ding is still willing to serve tea and water, the team's star players and veteran players will not really order China Ding around.

So, now there are only three younger brothers left in the team, Thabeet, Norman Powell and Myles Turner.

"Hey, Hashem, what are you doing, is that where you can go now? Here, come to me, help carry the things!"

When Tabit came to the training hall, he felt very fresh.

Haven’t seen you for thirty-nine years!

That dream was so real!

Thirty-nine years, truly thirty-nine years, so returning to the Bobcats' training hall, everything is so nostalgic.

So much so that when Tabit picked up the basketball, he wanted to practice a few times.

However, before Thabeet started practicing, he was stopped by Norman Powell.

Only then did Tabit realize that in his dream he was Hu Weidong, the winner of seven consecutive NBA championships, four MVPs, four FMVPs, two-time Olympic champions, two-time Olympic MVPs, three-time World Championship champions, three-time World Championship MVPs, the number one player in basketball history in the NBA and FIBA, a true big shot. When he retired, basketball fans and players all over the world gave him the highest respect.

However, in the real world, I am still a bag carrier.

This contrast made Tabit feel a little embarrassed and he couldn't help but smile.

He actually didn't hate this feeling.

He actually doesn't hate carrying bags in the Bobcats.

but……

Seeing O'Neal jumping in with a camera on his head and a happy look on his face, Tabeet wanted to laugh.

This arrogant little fat boy has been suppressed by him, Mutombo, Big Ben and Mourning in his dreams all his life.

In the NCAA, this little fat guy was suppressed by Alonso Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo.

When he arrived in the NBA, he was suppressed by Mutombo and Ben.

It wasn't until he left the NBA that the little fat guy won his first NBA championship.

Quite miserable.

However, that was in a dream. In the real world, although he was not the boss of the team, he was also one of the star players of the team and one of the most prestigious players in the team.

"Hashim, what are you looking at? Go get Shaq his live streaming equipment!"

Tabit collected his thoughts, walked slowly to O'Neal, and helped him prepare the live broadcast equipment.

O'Neal started live broadcasting early in the morning.

The finals are coming. After Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals tonight, the finals are coming, so the Bobcats are getting a lot of attention now. O'Neal wants to take advantage of the popularity of the finals to boost his popularity.

"Guys, don't underestimate Shaq. Shaq will be the brightest star in this year's finals! You don't believe it? Hahahaha, then look forward to Shaq's performance in the finals. I will let Bryant and Yao know who is the real star among stars!"

Although he knew that O'Neal was just bragging to netizens at this time, Tabeet, who was lighting O'Neal next to him, couldn't help but complain.

"Shaq, I think the lights are a little bright. Are there too many stars outside?"

O'Neal was not angry after being criticized by Tabeet, but was very happy.

The comments and barrage were even more hilarious.

There is absolutely nothing to say about O'Neal's attitude towards his teammates.

Although many people have the first impression that he may not be very friendly to his teammates because of his relationship with Kobe.

In fact, except for Kobe, O'Neal is quite friendly to his teammates.

If it weren't for the media trying to attract traffic, O'Neal would be a pretty friendly person in private.

So after being criticized by Thabeet, O'Neal was actually kind enough to introduce Thabeet to netizens.

"Hahaha, guys you all heard it. The guy next to me who is lighting the lights for me is called Hasheem Thabeet, a 2-meter-tall, super-huge giant. I feel like a dwarf next to him. He will be a key player in our finals against Yao. Coach D has high hopes for him."

O'Neal's introduction of Thabeet was absolutely sincere. He hoped that Thabeet could become more famous. In the NBA, there is no harm in being famous.

But after Thabeet appeared on camera, the comments and barrage immediately started to include words like "fake second pick", "big fool", "basketball newbie with no skills except height and athletic ability", etc.

Thabeet has performed very well for the Bobcats this season. He has excellent mobility, is very tall, and is excellent at rushing to the basket for second-chance rebounds and assisting on the defensive end.

So much so that many NBA teams had already noticed him before the regular season was even over.

Everyone in the NBA knows about the young players under Coach D. After being trained by Coach D for a season, they can all be trained as core players.

The young players that come out of Coach D's team, especially the talented young players, have never been through any difficulties.

Even if Thabeet is not as good as Oden, at least he is no longer the basketball idiot who only has talent but no basketball IQ or skills.

This season, Thabeet has shown some basketball IQ and skills under the basket.

However, for football fans, especially some meme-loving ones, no matter how well you perform, it will not stop them from making memes.

O'Neal got angry when he saw such comments and comments.

However, what surprised O'Neal was that Tabit, who was the object of ridicule, was not angry at all, but instead had a smile on his face.

"Greg Oden used to be the biggest bust No. 1 pick, but after a few years with Coach D, he became one of the strongest No. 1 picks in the NBA. Maybe, in the future, I will become one of the strongest No. 2 picks in NBA history?"

Good guy!
You are better at bragging than me!
You? And one of the best second picks in history. Do you know who is the best second pick in NBA history?
Beasley!
Since you dare to say that you are one of the strongest, if not surpassing Beasley, you should at least be on par with Beasley, right?

As the No. 1 pick, O'Neal recognized that Oden was on the same level as himself.

Just like O'Neal feels that he and Yao Ming are at the same level, they are both among the strongest No. 1 picks, there is nothing wrong with that.

Thabeet has definitely made great progress with the Bobcats this season, but given this kid's limited basketball IQ and skills, O'Neal simply cannot believe that he can become a player on par with Beasley.

Although O'Neal was complaining in his heart, he was actually supporting Thabeet and arguing with the netizens who were complaining about Thabeet.

Isn’t this the live broadcast effect?
I have to say, how come I didn’t realize before that this kid Tabit has such a good live broadcast effect?
Speaking those nonsense in a serious manner really has a very good live broadcast effect.

but……

O'Neal secretly looked at Tabit.

This kid is indeed much more confident than before.

When he first came to the team this season, this kid was timid, cowardly, cautious, and didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

Not as good as several rookies on the team.

And now...

He could be so calm and speak to those netizens who looked down on him online.

"Wow, I just heard someone say that he would be one of the strongest second picks in NBA history. Hashim, is that you?"

As soon as he heard the voice, O'Neal knew that his little brother Embiid was coming.

This time Embiid came with his girlfriend Rihanna.

Rihanna is now a permanent member of the Bobcats.

As long as Embiid comes, he will definitely come.

Rihanna is quite curious about the Bobcats.

It feels like everything about Coach D’s team is very fresh.

"Joel, I think you can show Hashem what kind of strength is needed to become one of the strongest second picks in NBA history. You are still a little bit away from being the strongest in your position."

O'Neal knows the effect of live broadcast. Since Thabeet is so confident, what better way is there than to prove himself directly in front of Embiid?

Thabeet will face Yao Ming in the finals, and Embiid is the little Yao Ming. Isn't this just perfect?

"Hashim, I have no problem with that. What do you think?"

Tabit glanced at Embiid, who was very excited at the moment, and nodded with a smile.

Of course he has no problem.

"Okay, let's duel. Whoever gets ten points first wins."

"no problem."

Seeing that Thabeet accepted Embiid's request for a one-on-one match, netizens became even more excited.

Soon, O'Neal's situation was noticed by other players in the training hall.

"Hashim wants to duel Joel?"

"No, Hashim can fight Joel one-on-one? Isn't this bullying?"

Thabeet is definitely a nobody in the Bobcats. In the star-studded Bobcats, Thabeet's presence is very low.

Not to mention Myles Turner, the player that Coach D focused on training, Nowitzki.

Even Norman Powell has a greater presence than Thabeet, because Norman Powell is Coach D's junior at UCLA, and everyone is willing to give Norman Powell face.

However, no matter what, if there is a one-on-one fight to watch, then of course I have to watch it.

To be honest, almost every NBA player wants to challenge one-on-one.

Except for those who are self-aware, no one would stand at the baseline with their arms folded across their chest and watch while others are playing one-on-one, and would not dare to walk onto the court.

Even Curry Jr., during the Lakers' training game, knew he might be beaten up in a one-on-one match, but he was still willing to go onto the court and be beaten up by his teammates.

The one-on-one duel is all about the atmosphere. Everyone is in the NBA, so it’s clear who is strong and who is weak. Only those who are obviously weak but want to maintain a strong persona have the so-called idol baggage and dare not leave the court.

Therefore, all the players of the Bobcats felt that Thabeet was not a coward. Although he was no match for Embiid, he dared to fight. So for a while, even Danzi was cheering for Thabeet on the sidelines.

On the first attack, Embiid let Thabeet attack first.

It is indeed a bit bullying for him to fight against Tabit one-on-one, and it is reasonable to let Tabit attack first.

So Embiid prepared to defend the basket.

However, when Embiid walked to the basket and looked back, he looked a little stupid.

Instead of preparing to receive the ball under the basket and play one-on-one against him, Thabeet received the ball outside the three-point line, just like he was playing one-on-one against an outside player.

What the hell?
Embiid wasn't the only one who felt confused.

The same was true for other people at the scene.

Then, Tabit looked at the basketball in his hand, then looked at the basket not far away, took a deep breath, two deep breaths, and three deep breaths.

Finally, Tabit threw the basketball in his hand.

Three-point jump shot from outside the three-point line!

The movements are very standard!

Fuck, there was even a little lean back!
This posture looks like Jordan's shooting action!

So, almost everyone looked at Jordan.

Then, I heard a brushing sound!
hit!

1 is better than 0!

Embiid looked back at the basketball that went into the net and was stunned.

Can this guy really shoot three-pointers?

Thabeet continued to attack, and this time Embiid didn't dare not go up.

Tabeet still did not receive the ball inside, but continued to receive the ball outside the three-point line, and Embiid defended him.

Thabeet did not have a back-turning breakthrough, and Embiid defended the big man's back-turning breakthrough.

However, what Tabit chose was to step back to create distance, dribble between his legs, and then make a big change of direction!
A 2-meter-tall player who is so skilled in changing direction and breaking through.

Embiid was knocked down directly!

I never thought of it!
It should be said that no one expected Tabit to break through like this!

After shaking off Embiid, Thabeet did not continue to break through because of the three-dribble rule. Instead, Thabeet stepped on the three-point line and chose a fadeaway jump shot like a guard, still with a Jordan-style fadeaway!

Seeing this action, almost at that moment, everyone looked at Jordan again.

then!

A swipe!
It comes again!

hit!

2 is better than 0!

Blinded!

"It's not luck!"

"Two centers are playing one-on-one, not playing inside, shooting three-pointers like outside shooters, changing direction, fadeaways, jump shots?!"

"OMG!!!"

"A 2 meter long defender!"

“Invincible!!!”

"Coach D showed me another invincible basketball template!!!"

"So this is how Thabeet was trained. All those coaches who had Thabeet in the past and trained him to become the biggest bust in NBA history should commit seppuku!"

"Too strong, Thabeet is too strong. The finals are coming, no more pretense, Thabeet and Coach D are done with it!"

"Look at the amulet in Thabeet's hand. That must be the magic weapon given to him by Coach D. It turns out that this is the secret weapon that Coach D prepared for the finals!!!"

Online, netizens have gone crazy.

And the Bobcats training gym.

Embiid has been on defense since Thabeet started the offense.

Can't defend any of them.

He was knocked down by Thabeet again and watched Thabeet hit a mid-range jump shot with his back to the basket.

Embiid's eyes were filled with despair.

He had never seen a center like this!

I originally thought that Yao Ming was already the highest level of center imaginable.

I didn’t expect that center could play like this!

Damn it!
He would believe it if you said he was a small forward or not, not even if you said he was a shooting guard!

His skills are better than many small forwards and shooting guards!

10 is better than 0!
