Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 659: Restoring Curry's Confidence

Curry, who was exhausted and desperate in the Warriors, came to the Bobcats' training camp and unexpectedly met the Bobcats' star player Beasley.

Moreover, Beasley seemed to be waiting for him on purpose.

Didn’t we agree that Beasley is not on the team?

Wasn't it agreed that Beasley is on vacation now or is going to New York with Coach D to attend the draft?
Why Beasley is in the team's practice facility.

Curry and Beasley also have some connections.

The two are actually players of the same era. They even knew each other when they were ten years old. At that time, they played in the youth basketball league, and he and Beasley were both famous figures in the United States.

When Curry was ten years old, he was the cutest second-generation star in the United States at the time, and also a little child star with a shining star.

Beasley, on the other hand, was the most talented player in the United States at that time, and he was also a shining star.

Relatively speaking, Beasley's younger brother Durant was quite dim at that time. It could be said that he could only stand not far away and watch Curry and Beasley like a minion.

One is a star who relies on his basketball star dad and his own cuteness.

One is a small star who relies purely on his own strength.

Even if two people have known each other for a long time, it is difficult for them to get along with each other.

Therefore, the relationship between the two cannot be good.

According to what Curry learned from many people, among the stars of his generation, none of them liked him when they were young.

I think he is very good at pretending.

Well, when he was ten years old, he loved shooting long three-pointers.

In that era, even NBA stars wouldn't play like this. Aren't you just pretending to play this as a ten-year-old kid?
At that time, those young geniuses already had opinions about Curry, a second-generation star who became famous because of his cuteness and his father. They didn't like him very much. In addition, Curry was so independent, so it was strange that Curry was popular at that time.

In the NBA, many stars of the same generation have already forged deep friendships when they were young, and such things happen very often.

But Curry doesn't have many friends from his youth.

This can also be regarded as the loneliness of the second generation of stars. They have been blessed with starlight since childhood that others cannot get even if they work hard. Such starlight sometimes brings some bad backlash.

So, when they saw Beasley in the training hall, especially when they saw him appear and greet other Bobcats players with a smile, the Curry brothers had some bad premonitions in their hearts.

Given the relationship between Curry and Beasley, there is no need for Beasley to go to such an extent to welcome him.

Beasley is now one of the most promising players in the league, a top five star, and even a strong contender for the best player in the league, the new FMVP.

Beasley's FMVP is the most valuable in history.

This is the FMVP that surpassed Goat-level players such as Yao Ming, Kobe, McGrady, Jordan, Thabeet, and Duncan.

Therefore, Beasley's FMVP is known as the first FMVP in NBA history.

Beasley is also considered the strongest FMVP in NBA history.

Beasley is now the most sought-after player in the NBA, not even one of them. Especially since it has not been long since the end of the finals, Beasley's current reputation is even more eye-catching.

And what about Curry?

Curry was one of the most unsuccessful stars in the NBA last season, a player who was driven crazy by the forward-forcing tactics.

Later, they were beaten badly by the forward-forcing tactics all the way to the playoffs, becoming a laughing stock among many fans who like to find fault with others.

Especially the Curry brothers who were once very popular, but now they have even become "trash brothers" in the mouths of many people.

In addition, Curry was backstabbed by the Warriors, so it is definitely wrong to say that Curry is now a player with the value of a role player. However, it is correct to say that if Curry joins the Bobcats, he may not even be as valuable as some of the team's veterans.

Curry, even on this current Bobcats team, might not even be in the top ten.

Jordan, Beasley, Rose, O'Neal, Grant Hill, Ding Yanyuhang, Chris Webber, Roaring God, Chris Bosh, Norman Powell, Myles Turner, Milicic.

Among the current players on the Bobcats, who can Curry rank ahead of?
Who knows what the level and status of the veterans on Coach D's team are like.

Therefore, even Bosh can only rank behind the Roaring Lord, and if Chris Bosh's heart disease can really be cured by Coach D, the current Curry will not be able to compare with him.

Norman Powell and Turner seemed like they would be ahead of them.

But in last year's finals and playoffs, the strength displayed by these two young Bobcats players was absolutely elite.

The two were unable to play in the final moments of the Battle of the Gods, but that was just a matter of not being able to participate in the Battle of the Gods. In the playoffs, many All-Star players might not be able to beat these two young men.

Therefore, in today's NBA, in the eyes of many experts and fans, Ding Yanyuhang is at the superstar level, and Turner and Powell are at the All-Star level.

Is Curry still recognized as having All-Star level ability now?

If he was really still recognized as having All-Star level ability, he wouldn't have performed so badly in last season's playoffs.

So, he might even be just ahead of Milicic, perhaps, the 13th-best player on the Bobcats right now.

wrong!

Even if it is Milicic, it is not certain!
Milicic is indeed a famous bust second pick.

However, the strongest players on Coach D's team may be the fake players and veterans.

Coach D really helped Milicic regain his talent. Milicic's talent may allow him to become a superstar, or even a Goat-level star, an enhanced version of Jokic!
There is no way he can defeat a player with such a bright future.

That's why Seth asked him to lower his posture when he joined the Bobcats.

Because Seth knows this Bobcat, there are many things that Seth is embarrassed to explain to him clearly, but the reality is that he has come to this Bobcat now, perhaps to prepare to be the 'Fifteenth Brother' of the Bobcat team!

He must be prepared to be the Bobcats' 'fifteenth boss'!
This is definitely not a joke!

Curry looked at his teammates lined up in front of him under the leadership of Beasley, each looking at them with curiosity, smiles, or joking eyes. Curry was feeling a little nervous now and took a long, deep breath in his heart.

Then, Curry smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Beasley in front of him.

Curry had already said what he wanted to say in his mind, and the smile on his face was shy but also filled with happiness and excitement.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter whether he is the team’s ‘Fifteenth Brother’ or the ‘Thirteenth Brother’. As long as he can come to Coach D’s team, his already bleak career will eventually have a bright future.

Wasn't Thabeet also the "Fifteenth Brother" at the beginning of last season in the Bobcats?

In the end, Thabeet became recognized as one of the best players in the NBA.

As long as you are on Coach D's team, everything is possible.

Then, when Curry reached out his hand to shake Beasley's, the smile on his face froze, because Beasley just smiled at him, without even extending his hand, just looking at him.

This is simply a slap in the face!
In the NBA, no matter how bad the relationship between two people is, they will give each other some face when so many people are watching.

And what about Beasley?
He didn't even give him any face.

But after thinking about it for a while, Curry quickly understood something.

Will his arrival make Ross feel a sense of crisis?

Coach D wanted him not to be the "fifteenth brother" but to make sure he was put to important use here.

As a good friend of Rose, is Beasley trying to intimidate him?
After thinking about it for a while, Curry seemed to understand.

At this time, Seth Curry next to Curry did not act rashly.

Because he knows the Bobcats, he knows Beasley better than Curry, and he knows this team. He knows very well what kind of character Beasley and this team have now.

They will never humiliate Curry.

Even though many NBA experts and fans are enjoying humiliating Curry and the Curry brothers at this time, these Bobcats players will not do such a thing.

Because the Bobcats are a very special team.

Because this team and many of its players have been madly humiliated by the media and fans.

This includes Beasley, and Beasley may even be worse off than Curry is now.

Beasley also experienced the same bad things that Curry experienced in the Warriors. Curry was backstabbed by his teammates, while Beasley was bullied by his teammates.

As for the humiliation from media fans and experts, both people are the same.

There is absolutely no reason for Beasley to do this to Curry at this time.

Sure enough, soon, Seth Curry saw Beasley actively hugging Curry. He didn't want Curry's handshake, but took the initiative to hug Curry!
Bisley welcomed Curry, whose smile froze and whose whole body turned black and white, in a more warm way.

The smile on Beasley's face remained the same, still so gentle, and the words he spoke were equally gentle, without any other negative emotions.

"Let's give a warm welcome to the NBA's 'softest' player joining the weakest team!"

However, Beasley's words directly made Seth Curry unable to play.

Even Curry, who turned into black and white, was a little confused. He came to his senses and stared at Beasley with wide eyes.

Beasley was unmoved, letting go of Curry and continued with a smile: "Last season, before the season started, we were called the worst team in NBA history. After the season ended, we became the strongest team in NBA history."

Beasley's words made many players around him smile subconsciously, such as Turner, Powell, and Ding Yanyuhang. Ding Yanyuhang is even considered to be the worst player with a formal contract in NBA history.

Then, by the end of the season, Ding was considered one of the strongest rookie players in NBA history.

Beasley's words couldn't be clearer; they were expressing his attitude.

Although Curry is now considered by many in the NBA to be the softest player in the NBA, he is the superstar who performs the worst under the forward-pushing tactics, the superstar with the biggest contrast, and the softest superstar.

However, Beasley believes Curry can become the toughest player in the NBA.

What a support this is.

Especially now when Curry feels that the whole world distrusts him and betrays him, it is really touching to have such an influential player say such words.

Even if Beasley was just saying this and it was just a superficial statement, Curry was very moved.

So, Curry, who was about to say thank you, was retorted by Beasley before he could even finish his words.

"I'm not just saying that. I know you better than anyone else in this world, including yourself."

The smile on Beasley's face made Curry dumbfounded again.

What the hell?
Many people around looked at Beasley with some surprise.

Veterans like Webber certainly thought Beasley was joking.

but……

The look on Beasley's face didn't seem like he was joking at all.

"Stephen, you may not know that I noticed you when I was about 10 years old, participating in an AAU game in Charlotte. At that time, KD and I thought you were white. In my hometown, it is rare to see black people with such light skin like you. Most people are as dark as KD. Black people like me with yellowish skin are rare. But in fact, you are black, and your inner self is completely different from the color on the surface."

Curry looked at Beasley, who was more serious, with his eyes wide open. Not only Curry, but others also looked at Beasley with eyes wide open.

Is Beasley serious?!
You look like a soft white person, but you are actually a tough black person.

Is this what Beasley wanted to express?

Beasley continued to recall the situation at that time, continued to look at Curry and said with a smile: "Before our game started, in the pre-game practice, you were shooting in the center circle. I was thinking, you must be pretending, you will definitely not make any shots. As a result, you missed one after another. At that time, you were not tall, and you didn't look like a 10-year-old child at all. Your face was full of stubbornness and your eyes were full of determination. In that game, you scored 35 points on me and KD."

Beasley talked about these things as if they happened yesterday. He remembered them so clearly that even Curry and Curry Jr. were stunned.

Because he didn't think of it the first time!
As for Curry's younger brother, it was even more incredible at this time. When his brother was a child, he scored 35 points in a game over Beasley and Durant? ! ! !

Was my brother so Dior when he was a kid?!
The reason why my brother was so popular when he was a child was because he was cuter and better at acting cute than me, right?

"Every time I recall you at that time, I find it incredible. You were so young, but so energetic. I was so lucky to meet someone like you when I was at an age when I needed a role model and motivation the most."

Beasley, the hottest and most powerful player in the NBA right now, just said that Stephen Curry is his role model in life, and he is lucky to have met Curry when he was so young!!!
Everyone around was shocked.

At this moment, no one thinks Beasley is kidding when he says he knows Curry better than Curry.

In Curry's heart, he may not be that great, and he may even have lost confidence in himself.

However, in Beasley's eyes and heart, Curry will always be the "tall" guy when he was ten years old!
So the real Curry is the humble Curry who has lost confidence and is scarred in Curry's heart.

Or is it Curry, who in Beasley's eyes is still tall and can continue to be great?
new York.

"Du, I think Stephen Curry's biggest problem right now is not confrontation, but confidence."

"Don't worry, Mike is there, he can handle it."

Seeing the worry on Clifford's face, Du Kang said with a smile.

In this world, perhaps no one is more suitable to play with Curry than Beasley.
