Chapter 280: Too Nonsense, Isn't It?
(There was something wrong with the computer in the past two days, and I went to repair it, plus the NBA things in the past two days, I feel like it's hot, and I haven't updated it in the past two days, I'm sorry, and I'll resume stable updates next, and at the same time complain, Mo Yutian is really brainless.) οΌ
"Wow, cool ββγ"
Staring at the gorgeous championship ring on Curry's hand, Drummond. Green couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Dude, this ring is really cool, it's a championship ring! If only I had come to the NBA a year earlier! β
Green's words immediately sparked laughter in the locker room.
"Don't worry, little ghost, soon you will be able to have a ring like this!"
Caron. Butler patted Green on the shoulder, a smile of joy on his face.
Championships, even now, Butler still feels like a dream in retrospect.
It's incredible.
You must know that after being traded to the Wizards by the Lakers in 05, he was basically ready to be without a championship for life.
Although the Wizards' roster seems luxurious, with Arenas and Jamison, it is tantamount to a dream to win the championship, and it is true, and in the following years, the Wizards' best result was only to enter the second round of the Eastern Conference.
At that time, Butler would never have imagined that a few years later, he would be lucky enough to get a championship ring after he was past the peak of his career!
And every time he looked at his teammates, the thought of taking a few more rings couldn't be contained.
He is also full of confidence that the team will continue to win the championship.
With such a young roster, talent and a magical coach, is there any other team in the league that can compare?
"Then again, is our head coach really such an arrogant person?"
Ringing the news that has been hyped in the media for the past two days, Green couldn't help but ask CuarΓ³n. Butler.
Wang Xiao's announcement of winning the championship at the domestic press conference not only caused a storm in China, but also caused an uproar when this remark reached the United States.
You must know that the United States, as the highest level of basketball competition, regards almost all international basketball championships as a bag.
Whenever the American Dream Team goes out, whether it is the Men's Basketball World Cup or the Olympic Games, it is all a sweep without suspense.
Especially in recent years, with a correct attitude and full main force, the American team has not tasted a defeat.
In this case, Wang Xiao dared to publicly say that as long as he coached the Chinese men's basketball team, he could lead the men's basketball team to win the Olympic Games and the Men's Basketball World Cup, which was simply a naked slap in the face of the American basketball community.
As a result, this news also caused a huge response in the United States, and many basketball media people publicly expressed their disdain for Wang Xiao.
"Wang Xiao? He won an NBA championship and floated to the sky! Do you still want to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic championship? He was just a little more lucky, and he drafted talented stars like Curry George, and any team with that kind of luxurious roster can win the championship. β
"And when he arrives at the Chinese men's basketball team, he will find that the lineup he relies on to survive in the NBA has run to the opposite American team, and the only players he can play under him are those players who play in the CBA, and the only NBA-level player is Yi Jianlian who is on the bench with the Wizards!"
"I'm looking forward to Wang Xiao coaching the Chinese national team, and then I can see the scene of him being taught a hard lesson."
"I bet that even if I coach the U.S. men's basketball team, I can easily defeat Wang Xiao's Chinese men's basketball team, I don't have to do anything, just sit and watch, and even take a nap ......"
Green feels extremely unbelievable about this, he has always thought that he is a bold enough guy, often offending people without concealment, but he didn't expect that compared to his own head coach, it is simply a small thing, and one sentence offends the entire NBA media, which is really no one.
"Hehe, you'll get used to it slowly." Caron. Butler said with a wry smile.
Wang Xiao's habit is really not good, and it's not once or twice.
In the past two years, Wang Xiao has really had a lot of celebrity quotes.
What is as simple as eating and drinking with the Heat, and what is booking the championship half a season in advance......
If you think about it carefully, the remarks of leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic championship seem to be just a little exaggerated.
And what is even more scary is that as long as Wang Xiao has said it, it seems that all of it has come true.
The Wizards eliminated the Heat in the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, and in the last two seasons, they were not merciless in the face of the Big Three version of the Heat, and last season, Wang Xiao also fulfilled his promise to win the championship and became the youngest champion bishop in the NBA.
Who can guarantee that Wang Xiao's so-called words of leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic championship cannot be realized? What can't this ghost coach do?
Stunned, Butler looked at Green again, and then slapped him on the head.
"You rookie, don't go outside and talk nonsense, the coach has warned me before, and no team members are allowed to comment on this matter."
"Okay, I know, I'm not going to talk nonsense."
"Hehe, but it would be great if I could win a championship this season, and I could be a player who won a championship in my rookie season, like Erwin. Johnson like that. Green said with a smile.
"Oh~~~~?" Caron. Butler dragged out his voice, "You kid, do you still want to grab FMVP in the finals?" β
As we all know, legendary point guard Magic Johnson won the championship in the first season of his career and was named the Finals MVP for his outstanding performance.
Magic Johnson also became the youngest FMVP in history, at 20 years and 276 days, younger than Curry won the FMVP.
"Of course I would like to ...... if I could"
When he said this, Green didn't really think about it at all.
Even with confidence, Green doesn't think he can get many opportunities with the Wizards, a team with so much talent that he doesn't have any advantage in the first round.
The offense is terrible, the shooting is inconsistent, and the people like George Leonard are better than him on the defensive side, and the only thing he can bring to this team is that he is not a great rebounding ability.
At this point, he would never have imagined that he would share the playing time of the center forward position with Whiteside in the new season......
"Wang, this is too nonsense, isn't it? Let a 2.01m striker play as a center forward next season? β
In the manager's office, when the main tactical training plan for the new season was obtained, the assistant coach couldn't help but say this.
In previous seasons, the Wizards had a lineup of the Death Five, generally with Jamison as the center.
There is nothing wrong with Jamison playing center, although the 2.06-meter-tall Jamison style is biased towards the outside, with his height and strength, he can barely resist the vast majority of center forwards in the league.
But this Drummond. What the hell is Greene?
A 2.01m striker, go to the center of the position? Thought he was Ben. Wallace?
As a rookie on the team, the assistant coaches have had a deep understanding and analysis of Green's technical characteristics in the summer league, this is indeed a very good player, fighting aggressively, not afraid of physical confrontation, but his defensive ability and rebounding ability are far from meeting the requirements of the center position, and more importantly, compared to Jamison, Green's offensive ability is a disaster.
At the heart of the small-ball strategy is to give up the inside and strive for maximum mobility and offensive firepower from the outside.
Green has no problem with mobility, but the rookie's shooting is so inconsistent that even open shots can't guarantee a consistent shooting percentage.
"This kind of thing, how do you know it if you don't give it a try?"
In the face of doubts, Wang Xiao seemed very calm, "Antoine has grown older and can no longer guarantee the mobility required by small-ball tactics, if the team wants to maintain the mobility of previous seasons, it must find a replacement, and I think Green is very suitable to replace Jamison's position." β
"But this can be done in the middle of the season, when the team's results start to stabilize." The assistant coach said again.
Wang Xiao shook his head, "Don't worry, just prepare for the next training according to this training plan, the team's record will not have any impact, the first record in the regular season is still ours, and the championship is also ours!" β
The assistant coach opened his mouth and didn't say anything more in the end.
In front of Wang Xiao, they really have no right to speak.
Last season's champion had already established Wang Xiao's status, and as the champion bishop, his words represented authority at all times until he suffered Waterloo.
