NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

No matter how Mike Dunleavy complained about the Clippers owner and management in his heart.

The Clippers lost after all.

The team spends more money building than the other team.

But there are no outstanding stars.

The biggest name on the team is Elton Brand, the No. 99 pick in [-].

But even he only made the second team of the All-NBA Team and served as an All-Star substitute.

But this guy is now out for the season due to injury.

This is equivalent to 1534 million lying in salary space.

Excluding such a large amount, the Clippers are almost the team with the lowest salary in the league.

Of course, it is still slightly taller than the Bobcat.

……

12 month 14 day.

vs. Magic at home.

It was obvious that this time the magic was prepared.

Howard seemed very low-key in this scene.

Individuals don't take many shots.

Put more focus on rebounding and support.

In addition, it is not Zhou Yao who is facing off against Howard this time.

It was replaced by Oden.

As a result, Oden was bullied miserably.

But Oden still gritted his teeth and held on.

And this time Oden didn't leave the game with six fouls.

"What a difficult guy!"

At the end of the game, even Howard himself felt tired.

Can't help but sigh with emotion.

This is not Howard's kind of game.

For him, the only thing worth celebrating is that the team won.

Of course, if he was given a choice, he would rather face Oden than Zhou Yao.

Howard understands this very well these days.

It seems that the center should easily suppress the point guard under the basket.

If you win, everyone will feel normal.

If you lose, you will be laughed at by the crowd.

Fans don't care whether the opponent is the face of the league.

Not to mention that in the confrontation with himself, Zhou Yao also got 59 rebounds.

In comparison, Oden is too easy to deal with.

……

The game against the Magic is over.

12 month 15 day.

Back-to-back away games against the Eagles.

Oden was bullied badly by Howard in the last game.

But there is nothing we can do, he is the number one center in the active league.

Oden is still adapting to the new training.

According to Zhou Yao, this is the price that must be paid.

This includes losing the game to the Magic.

Fortunately, the Bobcats' current record is good enough.

21 games.

17 wins and 4 losses.

Still firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Losing a game once in a while is not that important.

But this one is different.

The Eagles have a poor record.

Although it is still eighth in the Eastern Conference, that is more due to the poor overall record in the Eastern Conference.

9 wins and 13 losses.

In previous years, even in the Eastern Conference, they shouldn't have been in the top eight.

So for the Bobcats.

Encountering such a weak team is also a good opportunity to improve your record.

Even if this game is back-to-back.

And for Oden.

It doesn't matter whether you can become the Rookie of the Year or not.

If Al Horford really becomes the Rookie of the Year, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

This time it was Oden who volunteered.

He can ignore everything else, Horford must win.

"So are you ready to fight regardless?"

Zhou Yao didn't say yes or no.

Instead, he asked with great interest.

Auden looked a bit overwhelmed.

Although he looks much older than his actual age.

But in fact Oden is not yet 20 years old.

He also knew.

It doesn't matter.

It is a taboo for players to ignore the team's behavior for their own sake.

Of course, as both players, the other party may be able to understand him.

But the problem is, Zhou Yao's identity is not just a player.

Not even the boss of the team.

Zhou Yao is also the head coach and manager of the team.

From the other party's point of view, it is indeed excessive for him to take the initiative to ask for help this time.

If it were in college or high school, the head coach would have scolded him in the face.

Even coaches with good tempers.

A scolding is inevitable.

Oden himself has seen the head coach scold the players to tears.

And more than once.

"Let's just assume you can beat Horford."

"and then?"

Zhou Yao continued to ask.

Auden scratched his head. To be honest, he really didn't think much about it.

"Don't just think you've played a few good games and become arrogant."

"I think I am the best in the world."

"Don't think about anything else."

"Just look at the All-Rookie team."

"You're playing against all the rookies drafted by each team this year."

"It also includes guys who have been drafted or not drafted and are starting to play in the league this year."

"Not just Horford."

"Your current data is quite reasonable."

"But in reality it's only at the level of the second team."

"If you're not careful, you won't even be able to get into the second team."

"In comparison, Durant's situation is much better."

"If this continues, there is a high probability that he will be at least in the second team."

"If you perform well, it won't be a problem for a while."

"If it's any better, he'll be Rookie of the Year."

"As for what you're going to do."

"This was never the game to break Horford."

“It’s about suppressing him in terms of data.”

"Suppress him and you'll be a great player."

"Of course, a first-team Rookie of the Year award may not mean anything."

"But when we sign the contract again."

"It puts you in a good position."

"You're a professional now."

"The rookie period is over."

"Salary levels tell a lot."

Zhou Yao's words made Oden a little confused.

as head coach.

Zhou Yao didn't seem to object to his initiative to ask for a job, let alone get angry.

Although every word Zhou Yao said was letting him make his own choice.

In the end, he chose to have a battle with Horford on the court immediately.

Or choose to fight for longer-term interests for yourself.

But Oden also heard another meaning from Zhou Yao's words.

Zhou Yao did not object, or rather encouraged him to compete with Horford in the game.

Auden felt a little dizzy.

But he didn't dare to continue asking.

He didn't know whether his understanding was correct or not.

Just, as a newcomer.

He didn't dare to trouble the coach too much on this issue.

"If you want to do it."

"Why not?"

"Or, you are just talking about this kind of thing."

"New footwork training requires you to get used to it slowly."

"But when it comes to the court, being timid is not what a center on a strong team should do."

"In fact, your performance in the last game was very good."

"It's normal that you can't beat Howard now."

"But if it is true, even Horford can suppress you."

"Then you will be sorry for your title of No. [-] pick!"

Auden heard this.

Smile.

scratched his head.

Clenched his fists tightly.

With Zhou Yao's words, he also knew what he should do.

Game against the Eagles.

He will try his best to prove it.

If the team selects itself with the No. [-] pick, at least it won't lose money...
