NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Zaza Pachulia.

A big white guy from Georgia.

In fact, by the standards of NBA players, Pachulia's physical talents are actually relatively average.

This is why he was only a second-round pick when he was less than 20 years old.

That's what the NBA draft is like.

If you rank high, what you need is talent.

If you are ranked low, all you need is immediate combat power.

The fact is that Pachulia's immediate combat ability is considered average.

But I have to say that Pachulia is a really smart guy.

His scoring ability is very ordinary. As a center, his shooting percentage is somewhat terrible.

He's also not the kind of big man who can pull out and shoot three-pointers.

He also has little coordination ability.

He can grab some rebounds, but it's not particularly outstanding.

At the very least, he has never been in the top ten in rebounding.

But he knows how to get teams to give him a job.

For a team, there is always a need for bad guys.

If every player on the team is a good guy, then the team will be bullied no matter how talented the players are.

Pachulia never minded being the bad guy.

When he was in the Hawks, many players disliked him, including some of his teammates in the Hawks.

However, the team still gave him a five-year contract worth more than 5 million.

That year, Pachulia received the third-highest salary in the Hawks.

This also made many teammates express envy and jealousy towards him.

Yes, there is real hate in this.

Those guys couldn't figure out whether the boss was stupid, how could he give such a guy such a contract.

Now, Pachulia has left the Hawks.

The team no longer needs him.

This made Pachulia feel confused for a while.

He still has two years and $2 million on his contract.

He just turned 24.

Of course, there is no problem with the salary stipulated in the contract.

However, he didn't know where to go next.

Which team would be willing to accept themselves.

You know, Pachulia is still very famous within the league today.

There are people in the 30 teams in the league, including his old team the Eagles, who dislike him.

Of course Pachulia also wants to go to a strong team with the potential to compete for the championship.

But since it was being traded, it wasn't him who had the final say in this matter.

Of course, the team didn't keep him waiting too long.

Even Pachulia himself was surprised that he came to the Bobcats.

Everyone knows.

Although Jordan is now the owner of the Bobcats.

But since last year, Jordan has been the hands-off shopkeeper.

He handed over the management of the team to his apprentice, a guy who was several months younger than himself.

And this guy is also the head coach of the team.

As a player, and a top player in the league.

During the game against the Eagles, Pachulia also took great care of Zhou Yao.

He once prevented Jr. from playing for a long time.

As for Zhou Yao, he used underhanded tricks even more often.

It just never worked out.

He even thought about it for a while.

Making Zhou Yao unable to play.

Should he be like that lunatic wearing a Mavericks jersey and stab him 35 times in 13 seconds?

But think about it, that guy is still locked up in St. Elizabeth's Hospital.

And he is a player.

Maybe it would be easy to ruin your career.

If you are also sent to that hospital.

Forget it, no more!

Cold sweat breaks out down my spine just thinking about it.

And that's it.

Zhou Yao was actually willing to accept a villain like himself.

"Actually, you don't always need to hurt your opponent like that."

"Our team is very strong and we don't need to rely on that method to win."

"Your presence is more of a deterrent than a use."

"As long as you stay on the court, you are reminding the other party to be careful and not to overdo it!"

This is the first time for Pachulia to meet such a coach.

Now, not only is he full of evil in the league, he is also a character that will last forever.

Some people even compared him to his predecessor Bill Laimbeer.

By the way, Pachulia respects this senior quite a bit.

There is no way that I can compare with that senior now.

But it's also because every coach knows him well.

Those coaches who coached him would not directly tell him to hurt his opponent.

But everyone understands the meaning behind the words.

Only Zhou Yao was straight to the point.

And Zhou Yao's meaning is very clear.

We still have to focus on deterrence.

Instead of directly hurting the opponent's players.

"If I never do anything, will the other party stop being afraid of me?"

Pachulia expressed her doubts.

"If you ask me about this kind of thing, I can't give you a standard answer."

"But if you still feel that your value can only be reflected by injuring your opponent, I can only try to reduce your playing time."

……

The game against the Bulls begins.

Rose scored a layup.

2: 0.

Bobcat offense.

Westbrook dribbled the ball across half court.

As a result, he was intercepted by Rose.

Rose is not the kind of defender who is particularly good at stealing.

But this time he was more active than at any other time.

And his strikes were very clean.

Even the pickiest referee couldn't fault it.

Soon Rose assisted Gordon to score.

4: 0.

It seems that this game is another regular play style of the Bobcats before.

Play dead in the first half and chase points in the second half.

However, the next scene is incomprehensible.

Durant missed the shot.

Pachulia gets the rebound.

But before he could stand firm after landing, the ball was taken away by Rose.

Pachulia was very angry about this.

You dare to steal my ball!

Don’t want to walk off the court standing?

By the way, Pachulia has not really shown off his power this season except for accidentally injuring Luis Scola of the same team.

This time, as soon as he got the rebound, he was intercepted.

This is too shameless.

If he could endure this situation, he wouldn't be Pachulia.

So, Pachulia decided to take action.

If nothing else, the guy who stole his ball today must leave the court sideways.

It won’t work no matter who comes!

Pachulia pounced almost without thinking.

But at this moment, Rose was about to pass the ball.

What he wants to pass is Luol Deng who is farthest away from him.

This requires lifting the ball high, accumulating strength and then throwing it with great force.

And the moment the ball was released, Pachulia pounced.

Pachulia's attack was very powerful.

Rose's passing force is also very strong.

Then, the ball hit Pachulia hard on the nose.

By the way, if Rose wants to pass the ball to Luol Deng in the distance, shouldn't he throw it higher?

Why is there a downward angle?

It happened to hit Pachulia on the nose.

The staff immediately ran up and mopped the floor.

As for the one who left the field sideways, it was Pachulia who was diagnosed with a mild concussion by the team doctor...
