It stands to reason that Iguodala, who had such a good rookie season, will definitely have good achievements in the future, and become the kind of supergiant in the league......

But in fact, Iguodala has developed well, winning many championships, winning FMVP, making the first and second teams of defense, and being an All-Star.

But it seems to be the status of the league, which is a little meaningless, and when it comes to the league's top small forward, no one can think of Iguodala's name.

Richard was also puzzled about this, and finally summed up two more likely reasons.

The first is that Iguodala's lower limit is high, but the upper limit is not high enough, but for this reason, after Richard looked at Iguodala's attributes, he was directly overthrown......

Iguodala's extreme stats are quite strong, even slightly better than Pierce.

That could only be the second reason, this guy is not aggressive enough.

This is a guy who has been eating his old book......

Having talent, and whether or not you can fulfill talent, are completely different things.

If you want to fully realize your talent, you must first have luck.

If you're unlucky, like Windy City Rose Rose, with all kinds of injuries, it's definitely not going to work......

And Iguodala is actually really lucky in this regard, he has not suffered any serious injuries, and his career attendance is relatively high.

The second is to have an enterprising spirit and a heart to constantly improve oneself.

Richard felt that something might be wrong with Iguodala.

The likes of Kobe, Jordan and James are all quite aggressive players, and it is no accident that they can achieve such status.

Kobe Bryant's aggressiveness, needless to say, the whole universe knows the sun at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles.

James didn't have a basket at the beginning of his career, and he made up for it through training.

As for Jordan, he has not been eating his old book, and the most embarrassing three-point ability in the early stage of his career, he also practiced it in the later stage.

And Iguodala, careful fans can find that it seems that he has played for so many years, and there is no difference between his level and his rookie period, even if it is at his peak, in fact, there is no improvement, but because he has more playing time and more shots, it makes the data more beautiful.

Richard is now thinking about how to inspire Iguodala to be aggressive, not to mention becoming a supergiant, but he has to move up a little bit more than normal.

……

The opponent is Jordan's old club, the Washington Wizards.

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and Milicic and Kwame Brown stepped to the free throw line to execute the jump shot.

Some fans at the scene laughed, this jump ball is interesting, two well-known parallel goods jump ball, I don't know who is more watery.

As a result, it turned out that Kwame Brown was a little more watery, and he lost to Milicic in the jump ball.

Payton held the ball and slowly pushed forward forward, and as a veteran, he knew exactly what kind of pace of the game would work in his favor.

At his age, if he was like those young people, after getting the ball, he was like a calf and rushing towards the front court like a calf, then he probably wouldn't be able to play for too long.

Richard nodded, with an experienced veteran like Payton on the court, he didn't have to worry about the pace of the game at all.

If the rhythm is in trouble, Payton, the old engine, will automatically use his ability to correct mistakes and get the team's rhythm back on track.

The Pirates were already in the front court, and Milicic was a little nervous.

You must know that in tonight's game, Richard not only fulfilled his promise to let him start, but also said before the game that he would focus on the interior tonight.

Focusing on the inside, in the case of Valejo's lack of offensive ability, it is not he Milicic who carries the team's offensive responsibility.

Such a difficult task made Milicic feel pressured and a little out of breath.

"You can do it! Daktronics! ”

"The coach has given you so many opportunities, given you far more than you can perform, and if you don't take that opportunity, you can't be a star for the rest of your life."

Milicic secretly cheered himself up.

Payton feigned a breakthrough to attract the attention of the opposing Arenas.

Arenas originally signed a four-year contract with the Pistons......

Starting as a second-round pick, Arenas was actually able to get a four-year rookie contract with the Pistons, which was the envy of many second-round picks.

But after three years of fighting, no one envies Arenas......

Because Arenas' strength is enough to sign a bigger contract, he will basically work day jobs for the next year.

However, Arenas' career ushered in a turning point, and the Wizards took Arenas from the Pistons through a trade, directly putting him in the starting point guard position......

It is estimated that when this year's contract ends, Arenas will be able to sign a decent contract, of course, it is also possible that this season is not over, and Arenas will renew his contract with the Wizards in advance.

……

Generally, the players who are selected by Richard are grateful to Richard, but there are always exceptions.

Like Ricky Davis, like Arenas......

Arenas was not grateful to Richard, and even had some resentment, in his opinion, if Richard hadn't tricked himself into signing a four-year contract, he would have signed a big contract a long time ago.

He was not wrong in this idea, after all, because of his contract, the league introduced the Arenas clause.

Of course, he didn't dare to show this kind of resentment under any circumstances, he knew the West Lafayette gang too well, and if he dared to show a trace of resentment towards Richard, I am afraid that his fate would be quite miserable......

……

Payton's fake pass sent the ball straight into the hands of Milicic just outside the paint.

After receiving the ball, Milicic made a direct shot.

Luckily, the goal was scored directly, and Milicic's tense mood relaxed a lot.

What he feared the most was that his teammates gave him a chance, but he didn't take it.

"Good job, boy."

"No wonder the coach has never been willing to give up on you, come on......"

Al Harrington now plays for the Wizards, and he was the one who was in charge of playing against Milicic.

At this moment he smiled and patted Milicic on the shoulder, complimenting.

"It's really strange that the coach took the wrong medicine."

"Is this kid really that strong? Is it worth the coach to pull down his face and beg me to release the water? ”

Although he praised Milicic so much, Harrington was extremely puzzled in his heart.

Before the start of this game, he received a call from Richard......

On the phone, Richard asked Harrington to take care of Milicic and give him a timely compliment when Milicic was doing well.

Although it was not explicitly stated that Milicic was going to be released with water, how could Harrington not hear what Richard meant.

It's not that hard, it's just a pre-season game, after all.

Not to mention the preseason, even the regular season is released, and it is not a big deal, as long as it is not a playoffs.

……

"Thank you......" Milicic was a little embarrassed when Harrington praised him like this.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Harrington for a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

This is a common problem of communication disorders, and I know what to say to show goodwill, but I just can't say it.

"Come on, don't live up to the coach's expectations of you!"

"We're all very optimistic about you, lad!"

Harrington continued to laugh.

These words made Milicic's heart even more excited, who else is there in Harrington's mouth except for the group of bigwigs of the West Lafayette gang.

I was actually favored by these bigwigs?

For a moment, Milicic found a glimmer of confidence, and he felt that he might not be as bad as he thought.

……

It was the Wizards' turn to play the offensive round, and Antoine Jamison, who was on the outside, made a three-point shot from the outside and scored steadily.

This is Jamison's first season with the Wizards, having spent a short season with the Mavericks last season, having previously played for the Warriors.

As a West Lafayette player, although Jamison's statistics have always been quite impressive, he has never been selected as an All-Star.

Now that he has a chance to rebuild the Wizards, he has great hopes of not only making it to the All-Star list this year, but also wanting to get a taste of the playoffs.

Speaking of the Wizards' trident lineup this year, the offensive firepower is actually quite good.

Arenas, Jamison and Harrington, all three of them have strong offensive firepower, and although Kwame Brown is a little watery inside, he is also an average level inside.

Such a lineup, placed in the East, actually has a great chance of making the playoffs.
