I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 188 Maddie's Anger

The Rockets, which everyone was not optimistic about before the game, actually defeated the Spurs, which surprised the public opinion.

What is even more unexpected is that the first-year rookie Joey Dorsey was the one who led the team to victory!
TNT's famous basketball commentary program "NBA Insider" specially replayed the game.

Technology commentator Jeff Van Gundy highly praised Dorsey's performance from a technical and tactical perspective:
"Joey Dorsey played a bit confused in the opening stage. He only contributed one rebound in the first quarter, but when we re-examined Dorsey's performance at the end of the game, you will find that he is actually using nothing. The ball runs and responds continuously to connect the team's offense.

The silence on the offensive end is more like a layout to confuse the opponent.

When he came out in the second quarter, he used his solid low post technique to score consecutively, helping the team to stabilize the morale of the army.

In the third quarter, he was even more out of control. First, he used Yao Ming's restraining effect to pass the ball continuously to connect the whole team's offense; !

We don't know when he practiced this skill. Judging from the effect, he should have this ability long ago, but it has not been revealed. I don't know what his purpose is, but if he did it on purpose In other words, I can only say that this is a terrible guy with deep thoughts.

After that, in the face of the Spurs' defensive adjustments, he once again used excellent off-ball moves to disrupt the opponent's deployment, and his excellent jumper made the Spurs helpless.

However, I still have to criticize Dorsey here. If he can shoot the ball immediately after catching the ball instead of adding more belts, the shooting percentage may be higher.

......"

Van Gundy spent 5 or 6 minutes analyzing Dorsey. This is simply superstar treatment. You must know that the program usually spends so much time commenting on superstars like Kobe, James, O'Neal, and Duncan.

This season, the only rookie to be commented on is "No. [-]" Derrick Rose.

Dorsey, this wave is really promising!

In the Rockets fan forum, there are also all praises:
"Joey Dorsey is really good. When the Rockets picked him, I said it was a good deal!"

"A player who can play from the center to the back line, there is no one! The Rockets got Dorsey, which is equivalent to finding a qualified substitute for every position on the field!"

"It's still Adelman's vision! He knows people with his eyes, and he can discover Dorsey's outside potential!"

"I think Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady have done a good job in precept and example. The two big brothers, one inside and one outside, are of great help to Dorsey!"

"Metta Shiping is also good. I saw that he had a lot of exchanges with Dorsey in the last game, and even pushed Dorsey, probably to cheer Dorsey up!"

"Upstairs, you said it wrong, right? I think it was Doshi who stimulated Ci Shiping, and the latter erupted!"

……

In short, when the team wins, it’s just hello, me, hello, everyone. The fans stopped scolding the coach and dissing the players.

It is said that the crime rate in Houston has dropped by several percentage points in the past two days.The Rockets have also made some contributions to the construction of a harmonious society in the United States.

November is over, and the NBA officially updated the strength list.

The Celtics rank first and are currently the best defensive team in the league;

The Lakers ranked second, with a record of 17 wins and 2 losses in the opening season, tying the best record in team history;
The Cavaliers ranked third with 17 wins and 3 losses, and the momentum is extremely good. They have just played a wave of 8 consecutive victories under the leadership of James.

The Rockets rose to seventh place with a record of 14 wins and 6 losses.

The official comment is: Tracy McGrady took a three-week leave, but the Rockets unified their thinking.And Dorsey turned out to make up for the regret of McGrady's absence.Compared with the injury-ridden McGrady, what the young Dorsey can do is even more exciting.

However, not everyone is happy with Dorsey's performance.

In a mansion on the outskirts of Houston, McGrady smashed his wine glass in front of personal trainer Wayne Hall.

"I can see that the team is doing it on purpose. They want to force me to take a salary cut in the contract year! To replace me with a rookie center is slapping me in the face! And that Joey Dorsey , What qualifications does he have to replace me! He is a rookie, he has not yet figured out how to play in the paint, yet he dares to play shooting guard!"

Maddy's angry roar echoed in the mansion, shaking Hall's eardrums to buzz.

As a personal trainer who has been training McGrady since high school, the relationship between Hall and McGrady has already surpassed the ordinary employment relationship, and it is more like a heart-to-heart friend.

Hall is here to help McGrady recover. Although McGrady has knee and waist injuries, he can still do some rehabilitation exercises, which can not only help him recover quickly, but also maintain his competitive state.

Hall persuaded: "Tracey, you think too much, no one is deliberately targeting you. Using Dorsey to play shooting guard is just a stopgap measure for the team. You also know that there is no one in that position. It’s available. And Joey is a good guy. I’ve had a lot of contact with him. He’s a real genius, just like you. To be honest, I see a shadow of you when you were young in him. You can feel it too. , on the court, Joey is the one who cooperates with you the most..."

"That's enough, Wayne!" McGrady interrupted Wayne Hall roughly, "I'm getting angry when I say this, why did you train that brat! Don't you know that I hate him? The current league Too gentle, if I had just entered the NBA, if a rookie dared to talk nonsense like that, he would definitely be beaten out of shit!"

Hall felt that McGrady in front of him was very strange.

"Tracy..."

"Don't talk to me, let's go! Go train your new genius friend! Discover new geniuses, isn't this what you have been pursuing tirelessly? Abandon the old guy Maddie! He is old! Injured, unable to fly anymore, he is finished!"

"Don't be like this, Tracy, although you have injuries, we can recover through training, we can adjust our style of play, believe me, you are still the top scorer in the league, you are still omnipotent Tracy McGrady !"

"That's enough, Wayne, stop talking, I don't want to hear it! I'm tired, you go, leave me alone!"

After speaking, Maddie got up and walked to the bedroom, closing the door heavily.

Hall looked at the back of Maddy disappearing behind the door, his eyes flashed with deep sadness.

He didn't know why McGrady became so nervous, and he didn't understand why he was so worried about a rookie.
