unfinished glory

Chapter 105 Lessons
On December 12, the Spurs played away against the Bucks.

Bogut, who averaged only about 8 points per game, became a laughing stock because of his remarks after the draft.

The media had hyped this news for a while, but seeing that this guy was so useless that he couldn't even get the Rookie of the Week, they gave up the follow-up report.

However, in today's game, we are facing Duncan, who Bogut is blatantly trying to overtake. The media interviewed the players on both sides in the spirit of creating news even if there is no news.

They didn't interview Bogut first, because this guy has kept a low profile recently, and they didn't interview Duncan because the old fritters couldn't come up with anything new.

Li Chongxiao is undoubtedly the best interviewee. Although most of the time he is skating like a news officer, but as long as his bottom line is touched, he can always talk endlessly.

The two people Bogut looked down upon were Yao Ming, his compatriot, and Duncan, his closest teammate.

When asked what Li Chongxiao thought of the game, and what he thought of Bogut's remarks a few months later, Li Chongxiao did not disappoint everyone with the expectant eyes of the reporters: "I think everyone should pay respects to Bogut. He apologized."

"Here we come!" There was a commotion among the media in front of us. All the experienced reporters knew that Li Chongxiao liked to play big reversals, and only rookies really thought he was apologizing.

"We put too much pressure on him, and the expectations are too high. I thought the player who said such arrogant words was a very capable guy, but you have also seen it." Li Chongxiao spread his hands and continued: "So let him use It is difficult for him to receive the highest honor of a Duncan throughout his career."

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "I suggest, friends from the media, stop emphasizing his status as the No. [-] pick, give him more tolerance, and lower his requirements, such as the rookie second team, how about it?"

After getting what they wanted, the media first used the headline "Daye Li thinks the new No. [-] pick will not be able to enter the rookie round!" to spread a wave of news, and then went to interview the person involved.

Duncan has nothing to say here. As an old man, he naturally laughed it off, but Bogut was young and energetic, so he couldn't bear it.

When he was being interviewed, he said indiscriminately, saying that the last few picks like Li Chongxiao were all guys who were about to be eliminated, and they entered the league only because of shit luck, and they would not be arrogant for a few years.

Although he thought he had a plan to add the last few picks and picked out the boss of his team, Michael Reed, but his remarks still caused a lot of condemnation.

This is too offensive, not to mention the large number of last picks in the league, even the undrafted players, there are active players like Ben Wallace, Brad Miller, and Knicks John Starks , former Spurs player and current Mavericks coach Avery Johnson and other retired celebrities.

But in general, the most injured is the Spurs. Not only are the retired celebrities circled, even now there are Ginobili, Li Chongxiao and Bowen. The three main players are low-ranking or even undrafted players.

And even if Bogut specifically said that it was the last few picks, his rhetoric of only the pick round made many players who themselves were dissatisfied with their own draft picks that were too low.

Arenas was a thorn in the side. He directly shouted to the media, asking Li Chongxiao and Ginobili to teach this ignorant rookie a lesson, and when the Bucks played against him, they had to give him a look.

This game is the second game of the Spurs' three-game streak. In Popovich's mind, it was a game that could be won or lost, but it was no longer possible to be so disturbed by the players on both sides.

Bogut beat Nesterovic on the jumper, but he didn't have his share of the first-round offense.

Originally, the Bucks have been Michael Reid's team since last season, and his priority is the highest in offense.

If it were someone else, maybe Reed would hypocritically hand over the ball in the first round of offense in order to win people's hearts.But Bogut, a rookie with a big mouth, is exactly the person Reid doesn't like.

Before the draft, Reid was worried that Li Chongxiao would steal his boss's position in exchange, and strongly opposed the trade with the No. [-] pick. He was also happy to see the team choose an inside player to assist him.

But who would have thought that after Bogut came to the team, he would actually covet the position of the boss.After several times of education, Reed made him more honest.

This time, Bogut made some remarks about the position of the pick. Obviously, he was quite critical of himself as the No. [-] pick, who was low and underserved and still couldn't get the ball.

"I don't even look at my own level!" Reid is also a veteran, how could he not see through the rookie's careful thinking, and ignored Bogut's request when he was stuck in a good position, and made a three-pointer strike.

The boss is like this, the other players of the Bucks learn from each other, and they don't pass the ball to Bogut.

Bogut ran back and forth for almost half the quarter, only touching the ball while rebounding.

The only offensive opportunity was obtained by taking an offensive rebound.When he was about to dunk to vent his emotions, Duncan made a big cap and pushed him to the ground with the ball.

The voice of Li Chongxiao applauding from the bench can be heard throughout the arena.

Soon Li Chongxiao was on the field, and he and Bogut were out of alignment. All he could do was pass a few more balls to Duncan, and watch Duncan beat the top pick in a fancy way.

Maybe Bogut played too embarrassingly, the Bucks coach couldn't stand it anymore, and replaced him before the end of the first quarter.

After being selected, he clamored to surpass Duncan. He only got 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 1 foul in a single game, and the rest of the statistics were all zero.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Duncan took a break, and Reid did not play on the opposite side. Watching Bucks coach Terry Stotts confess to Bogut standing on the court, Li Chongxiao was fascinated.

After the Spurs scored a goal, the Bucks really gave the ball to the inside, allowing Bogut to single Nesterovic.

Bogut chiseled in twice, but Nesterovic couldn't resist and stepped back a little.Seeing the opportunity, Bogut half-turned and threw the shot. Unexpectedly, Li Chongxiao, who had been paying attention to him for a long time, had already moved over secretly.

Faced with this toss, Li Chongxiao took two steps forward, took Nesterovic as a block, and used a volleyball movement to smash down heavily.

The ball flew back faster, hit Bogut in the face, and bounced back.

Li Chongxiao got the rebound, made a long pass, and assisted Barry to score a layup.

Then he lowered his head and was about to say something trash, only to find that Bogut had fallen to the ground, covering his nose with his hand, bleeding.

Two players from the Bucks came over. Seeing the referee also running in front of him, Li Chongxiao decided not to eat the "T".

Li Chongxiao's block shot was played repeatedly on the big screen at the scene, and Bogut fell to the ground as if his head had been hit by a stick.

The Bucks' team doctor took care of it a bit, and when the camera zoomed in on Bogut's injured face, he saw not only two pieces of gauze stuffed into his nose, red eye circles, but also a clear mark of a basketball valve on his forehead.

Such a funny scene made many fans at home laugh out loud.

Before the game, Li Chongxiao and Duncan made a bet to see who would bully Bogut more. Originally, they also invited Ginobili to come in, but Ginobili knew that he could not compare with these two "beasts", so he politely declined .

Now Li Chongxiao proudly said to Duncan: "It seems that he is so stupid, tomorrow's newspaper will definitely have this picture. It is obvious that I have hurt him a lot. It seems that our bet is about to win."
