Chapter 163: The Divine Turtle admits its mistakes

Chinese rookie Sun Yi's 61-point feat has made Paxson, the general manager of the Chicago Bulls, the most pitiful general manager in the league in recent times.

Not only did they have to endure the endless ridicule and accusations from various media, but they also had to endure the protests of a large number of Chicago fans who like Sun Yi every day outside the team's training hall.

In addition to poor Mr. Paxson, Thunder general manager Plesty is another tragic figure. After the game against the Knicks, the No. 4 rookie in the class of '08, who has become the target of the team, is still unrepentant in the next games against the Philadelphia 76ers, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers.

This behavior of the Long Beach guys has caused extreme dissatisfaction from the whole team. After losing these three games in a row, they are firmly in the top spot of the league's vice squad leaders with a record of 1 win and 10 losses.

The bad team atmosphere has dealt a major blow to this Thunder team full of hope and talent. Durant, Jeff. Green's form has also dropped dramatically in these games. If we can't solve that trouble in the team's locker room, I'm afraid that the young general manager of the Thunder team will have lost all his hard work and good luck in the past few years.

At this time, Plestie, who was sitting in the general manager's office, was holding a meeting at the highest level of the team. Not many people attended, but in addition to him, there were also the team's head coach Callesimo and the team's number one star Kevin. Durant.

In fact, the arrival of the 'bad manager' Callesimo was just a courtesy invitation, and his opinion can be said to be insignificant, because the shrewd general manager of the Thunder did not intend to let this good old man work for a long time.

The only person who can influence Plesty's decision is Durant, who is introverted and not good at words.

'The team is in terrible shape at the moment and the priority now is not to blame anyone, but to find a solution to the problem. The general manager, who is resolute and resolute, does not want to waste everyone's time on useless issues.

Head coach Callesimo looked east and west, clearly not wanting to give an opinion. He actually liked Westbrook's stubbornness, but it was better to talk less in such an occasion.

The team's number one star, Kevin. Durant looked down and played with his fingers, again not wanting to speak first.

"Alright! Let me talk about it first. Plesty seems to have been prepared for such a situation, "If Russell doesn't have the will or the possibility to change his style of play, then I think I'll have to trade him." ”

When Callesimo heard such a direct proposal from the general manager, he subconsciously wanted to argue for the young player. But when he saw Durant, who was still bowing his head and silent, he immediately closed his mouth that had just opened.

Kevin. Durant's mood at this time was very conflicted, Westbrook, who was selected by the Thunder as Sun Yi's spare tire, he didn't look down on it from the bottom of his heart.

However, with the increase in contact opportunities during the team's training camp, the Long Beach guy showed a good level of both personality and skills.

Just when the low-key Thunder boss was about to accept the other party, it happened that they met the Chinese player. Durant, who had the opportunity to compete with his friends, was disrupted by Westbrook in the first half, and he was very unhappy at the time. Unexpectedly, this guy became more and more aggressive in the second half. not only made the team completely defeated by the opponent, but also made Durant the background emperor of his friend's shocking record.

No matter how good-tempered a person is, he can't stand such teammates.

In addition to Jeff. Green is fanning the flames on the sidelines, and Durant really hates that guy who is extremely self-conscious. Even when training, I didn't even want to see him.

But the core of the Thunder team with a kind heart doesn't want this talented teammate to be swept away by the team because of his dissatisfaction. He knows all too well how much hardship and dedication a player has to go through to become an NBA player.

At this time, Ren Xianqi's song "Too Soft Heart" should be very suitable for Durant.

When Presti announced the end of the meeting, head coach Callesimo and the team's leading players did not say a word from beginning to end. However, it appears that the general manager has decided to send this away, and he has hand-selected the player this summer.

For a while, trade rumors circulated in the league about the 'problem player' Westbrook.

Among them, there are three official offers that are actually placed in front of Presti's table. After all, that little guy can score 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in more than 20 minutes of playing time this season.

In addition to the Clippers and Wizards, the Golden State Warriors coached by Nelson Sr. are the most sincere. They are willing to use the team's main small forward, who can contribute 19 points per game. Margeti, in exchange for the Thunder's promising but unpopular No. 4 pick.

If it weren't for the overlapping positions of Margeti and Durant, it would take time to find a third team to join the trade. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' thunderous career is almost over.

Westbrook, who was sitting in the locker room of the team's training hall, had already changed his equipment. When all his teammates had already started to warm up, he still had no intention of going out.

The Long Beach guy leaning in front of his closet kept thinking about his girlfriend Nina last night. Russell's phone call.

"Russell, I think you should apologize to your teammates."

"No, never. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Those who snubbed me, sooner or later will realize their stupidity. ”

"Listen, I don't want to discuss with you who's right and who's wrong. But in fact, your irrational behavior has hurt the normal operation of the team. Tell me, what's the Thunder's record now? ”

"Ugh! ……”

"Russell, remember last year when we went to the NCAA finals, you used to point to the No. 8 at Duke and say to me with a proud look on your face, 'Hi! See, that guy is my friend'. Is that right? ”

"Uh, actually......"

"Stop, let me say okay. In fact, you have lost this friendship. Your performance on the court that day disappointed me, Russell I know is a confident man. And that day, you were like a child who was robbed of a lollipop and cried non-stop. ”

“……”

"My dear, now that you have lost this irretrievable friendship. Do you want to keep losing more? For example, your teammates even lose the opportunity to play in the NBA. ”

“……”

"KB3's wish, have you fulfilled it?"

“……”

……

The head coach Callesimo, who was talking to the team, would be late for training when he saw the genius who was about to be sent away. Alas! Forget it, he won't be here for long anyway.

"I'm sorry, I want to apologize to my coach and teammates here......" Westbrook said aloud as he stood in front of all the team personnel.

A lot of the players had an unbelievable look on their faces, oh my God! This guy would have apologized! ……

When Chinese player Sun Yi completed a magical performance of 61 points in a single game, in addition to the praise from the media, many NBA celebrities expressed different opinions.

Sun Yi's brain-dead fan Reggie. Miller is very worried about whether this Chinese talent can withstand the test of the opponent's key care in the future games. After all, the Knicks rookie with 61 points is no longer an ordinary rookie in the eyes of many teams.

'Big Mouth' Charles. Barkley is unequivocally supportive of Sun Yi, and believes that this little guy has a very mature psychological quality and that kind of never-say-die fighting spirit.

Where there is praise, there must be sunspots!

O'Neal, a big shark who has entered the twilight of his career, only said one word in the face of reporters' questions at the press conference after the Suns and Pistons game. "Oh! It looks like another Chinese will become a starter in the All-Star Game in his rookie season. ”

Olney, who is disproportionate to his heart and size, is still worried about Yao Ming stealing his All-Star starting position in 03. However, his words, which are full of ridicule and even a bit of racism, are indeed a bit unworthy of his historical position in the NBA.

Former supersonic star Gary. Payton has a notoriously stinky mouth, and he told the media that the Thunder's juniors are too scummy defensively right now. If he is replaced to defend Sun Yi, he will definitely not be able to score 10 points for that little guy. Of course, in addition to that mouth, Payton's defensive ability on the court is also a must, and his once confrontation with the god of basketball has made countless fans still talk about it. But if he wants to say that he can't even score 10 points against Sun Yi, I'm afraid few people will believe it.

These off-court news didn't seem to affect the mentality of the Knicks. As usual, he talks and laughs with his teammates in training. Every night in the team's training hall, you can still see the Chinese guy and the trainer Glenn practicing until the early hours of the morning.

The day after the 61-point battle, the Knicks, who continued to sit at home, faced the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks, a powerhouse in the West. In the face of a significant increase in defensive intensity, Sun Yi still scored a big double-double of 24 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists in front of veteran Kidd.

If it weren't for Nowitzki and Josh. Howard combined for a staggering 70 points, and the in-form home team had a good chance of winning the game.

On November 18, in a match against the sworn enemy Celtic. Even if you have Rondo, Ray. Aaron, Paul. Pierce, an All-Star outside line, a Chinese guy in good shape, took away 20 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks from TD North Shore Garden Arena.

Although due to the huge difference in the strength of the two teams, they lost this game that is equivalent to the derby in the football world. But many media outlets, which had been on the sidelines, began to dig up O'Neal and Peyton's comments from the new grave. The ability of these ill-intentioned uncrowned kings to create trouble is indeed first-class.

While many people are ready to start all kinds of bombardment defenses again, USA Today sports columnist Doni Brown. An article by Bowers brought a little calm back to everyone. The general meaning of the article is that the Knicks' Tanhua show this year, in addition to Chinese nationality, has emerged in the American basketball world as early as high school. In his two years at university, he won all the important honors. In addition, it is not surprising that this summer's grinding at the Olympics can have such a performance.

Bowers gave a very simple example that made his article even more persuasive. Durant, the best rookie who averaged 20 points per game last year, did not perform as well as Sun Yi in both high school and college. And the latter stayed in college for an extra year, which has played a crucial role in the growth of the Chinese rookie, judging by his current performance. Whether it's physical fitness, mental maturity and the ability to use technology. It is better than Durant, who rushed into the NBA after only playing in college for one year and was hailed by many as a scoring genius, and performed better in the league at the same time.

In the case of two teams with similar conditions and similar training status, the hit percentage is the most telling thing. Durant's overall shooting percentage in his rookie season was 43%, which is a rare achievement as an outside player. But Sun Yi's shooting rate so far is as high as 51%, and perhaps with the attention of various teams, the efficiency of newcomers in this league will decline to a certain extent. But as long as there are no major surprises, Bowles believes that Sun Yi's season shooting percentage will be higher than the former.

As soon as this article came out, many media outlets that were ready to move stood still for the time being. Those retired NBA veterans who like to play with a sense of existence have also closed their mouths. Everyone is waiting for what kind of answer this Chinese teenager can give.

After a three-day break, the Knicks finally won a hard-fought victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on the 21st.

Face Luke. Lidno and Ramon. In Sessions' wheel battle, the No. 8 rookie of the Knicks, who had just scored 61 points, went on a killing spree again.

He scored a game-high 40 points on 17-of-24 shooting, and also had a near-triple-double with eight rebounds and nine assists. Add to that BIGQ, which scored 18 points, and Harrington, the super-sixth man, with 17 points.

The Knicks beat their opponents 109-104 to claim their fourth win of the season.

A day later, the Knicks returned to their home court to face the Washington Wizards, who had lost their core player Arenas. Many media outlets are betting that the Chinese rookie, who has been in great form lately, will continue his magical performance at Madison Garden Plaza. The reason is simple, replacing the general as the main point guard of the Wizards. Brown, not only is he unknown in the league, but he is only 1.83 meters tall.

Although the Knicks did not disappoint, winning the battlefield scoring battle 125-117. However, the performance of Chinese player Sun Yi surprised many experts.

He scored 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting, the lowest scoring of his NBA career.

Sun Yi actually knew very well in his heart that the continuous long-distance flights and competitions had greatly diminished his freshness about the competition. The physical exertion is nothing, the main thing is psychological exhaustion, which makes him always unable to get excited.

Although he was not in good shape, the No. 8 rookie of the Knicks played his best game as a point guard in the traditional sense so far.

The opponent's weak interior line made the Knicks' fast break wave after wave like a tide. Sun Yi showed his super ball handling ability at high speed.

Milicic, Richardson and Chandler scored more than 20 points, with the Knicks' No. 8 providing them with 12 assists.

In the end, the Chinese teenager who got 12 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists scored the second triple-double of his career.

Although, this triple-double is a trumpet. But, it's also three pairs! (To be continued.) )
