Today, starting point guard Felton is the backup Douglas, and starting point guard Fields is the backup is Wilson Chandler, and these four are certain lineups that will appear in every game.

And after these four, the team has two more candidates who can play as defenders, one is Roger Mason and the other is George, and D'Antoni actually chose Roger Mason, which means that unless one of these people is injured, George will not be able to play!

For three whole quarters, George didn't get a chance to play, and the audience in the live broadcast room dropped again and again, and there were only 100 people left.

If the game goes into garbage time in the final stage, then maybe George will have a chance to play, but in this game, the score between the Knicks and the Raptors is extremely close, not so much fierce, but rather a bad game, because at the beginning of the season, everyone has not yet found their form, and there are frequent mistakes, shooting iron, and there is nothing to watch.

D'Antoni wanted to win the first game of the new season, so until the last second in the fourth quarter, he still didn't send George on the court, and the two sides fought until the end, as a result, the Knicks lost to the Raptors 93-98 and lost the first game of the regular season.

Back in the dressing room, D'Antoni looked gloomy and disappointed with the performance of his players in the game, and he felt he needed to be vigilant about the youngsters or they would continue to make the same mistakes.

D'Antoni stood in front of everyone and reprimanded: "When Chris Bosh left Toronto to join LeBron and Dwyane Wade, I knew the Raptors were going to be a bad team this season!" Now, thank you for making me realize that we're a bad team too! ”

That was D'Antoni's first reprimand for the new team, who hadn't even spoken out loud to the players for more than a dozen days.

[D'Antoni, this idiot, didn't need an anchor for the whole game, I waited for four quarters in vain, and I deserved to lose! ] 】

[If the anchor lets D'Antoni know that he has the ability to defend the fourth and fifth positions alone, D'Antoni will give him a start 100%!] 】

[It's a pity that the anchor is too cautious, afraid of being pulled to do experiments, and doesn't dare to take the initiative to show D'Antoni, but, anchor, you finally bought Hayes, are you going to put it on hold like this? ] 】

George was sitting in a chair at the moment, listening to the head coach's reprimand, while watching the barrage in the live broadcast room, George said melancholy: "They are right, I spent 60,000 yuan to buy Hayes, and it would be a loss if I couldn't fully use it, but how to fully release Hayes's power without being suspected?" There must be a way to solve it, there must be a ......"

Perhaps there was an answer to this complex question, but, apparently, in the serious atmosphere dominated by D'Antoni, George could not have imagined it.

D'Antoni talked a lot today, because the team leader is Stoudemire, and he also happens to be the player that D'Antoni has brought before, and the two have a certain personal relationship, D'Antoni blamed Xiao Si without scruples: "Amare, you are the leader of this team, you have to bring your teammates together and make us like a team!" You look at you guys on the court today, you didn't cooperate at all, the whole team added up to less than 10 assists! Are you all here to work as casual workers? Leave after this fight? ”

Xiao Si lowered his head, as a leader, he must take the responsibility for losing: "I'm sorry, coach, I didn't do a good job, give me some time, I will make us more like a team." ”

Although he admitted his mistake on the surface, after speaking, Xiao Si complained in his heart: "D'Antoni, this old thing, they are not united, what does it have to do with my leadership!" These guys, except for Ronny Turiav, no one else made eye contact with me on the field! ”

Xiao Si was also disappointed in the team.

"Okay, everybody's learned the lessons of today, the regular season has just begun, the next game is our home game, everyone can try to win." D'Antoni only criticized the best performer by name, and quickly ended the conversation.

……

On the plane from Toronto to New York, Xiao Si said excitedly: "Guys, let me tell you something, the new NBA season can only be counted as the start when you play at home!" ”

Fields, the rookie starting guard, was a little confused and asked, "Why?" Why doesn't the away team count? ”

Why?

This is the psychological perception of Xiao Si who has played in the NBA for many years, what is the reason? This sentence made Xiao Si not know how to answer.

At this time, the plane had already flown into the United States, George glanced out the window, and replied for Xiao Si: "Because playing at home, it is more ceremonial." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Si immediately patted his thigh: "Well said!" Mike! There should be a sense of ritual in life, and there should also be a sense of ritual in playing in the NBA! Fields, you're playing the ball well, but your life perception is far worse than Mike's, haha. ”

Fields gave George a blank look, and said secretly in his heart: "Boy, I know you want to grab my starting position, don't be delusional!" ”

George turned a blind eye to the malice in Fields' eyes, which was not fear, but contempt, and he heard from the audience in the live broadcast room that Jeremy Lin had a good relationship with Fields when he staged "Lin Crazy" in New York, and Fields had let Jeremy Lin live on the sofa in his house.

From this point of view, this guy is not a bad guy, but just as competitive as George.

……

Back in New York, the team has only one day of practice, and the next day, they will host Roy's Portland Trail Blazers.

After training, George and Fields took the initiative to hand towels to the veteran players such as Smalls and Wilson Chandler, which is a team tradition, and after the game and training, the rookies should hand towels to the veteran players.

Not only that, but when they went to Toronto two days ago, they had to prepare food to bring on the plane in case the veterans were hungry, and on top of that, they had to buy food for the whole team on non-match days.

[Alas, when will the anchor be awesome! ] It's really unpleasant to be someone else's little brother. 】

[You go and ask the old man D'Antoni, if you don't let you go on the next game to play the Trailblazers, I won't watch it if you don't let me go.] 】

[If you don't let him go up again, you will beat him!] 】

"Why do these people keep trying to make me fight......" George looked at the barrage with a helpless expression.

At the end of the day's training, the veteran players are leaving, according to the team's "unwritten rules", as rookie rookies George and Fields can't walk with the veteran players, the rookie must train alone for a while after the training is over, and you can practice shooting or something.

George knew that there were only two people left here, he and Fields, thinking that the audience in the live broadcast room was a little aggrieved watching the live broadcast, so he said to Fields: "Hey, Fields, what do you want to practice?" Need one-on-one? I can practice with you. ”

George quietly sent a war letter to Fields!

Xiao Si, who was about to leave the court, suddenly interjected with interest after hearing it: "Oh? You two rookies are going to be one-on-one? Then I'm going to stay and see. ”

Who knows, Fields smiled and replied to Xiao Si: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you can't watch it today, I want to practice three-point shooting, you know, I missed two empty three-pointers in the last game." ”

Xiao Si nodded, and didn't feel much regret, after all, how wonderful can the heads-up of the two rookies be?

However, the audience in the live broadcast room was furious.

[Fields is really cowardly, as a starting scoring guard, he didn't even dare to go head-to-head with the anchor who was not a substitute! ] 】

[Hmph, our anchor is an invited member of the Little Green House, what is he? 】

Ten minutes later, everyone else had left, leaving only Fields and George on the court, who had been shooting in two halves without interfering with each other or exchanging words.

In one shot, the basketball bounced very far, George didn't chase it in time, the ball passed the midcourt, slowly rolled to Fields, George shouted to Fields, "Fields, can you help me throw the ball?" ”

In such an empty field, the sound was even more reverberant in the arena, but Fields pretended not to hear it, let the ball roll to the base of the basket on his side, and continued to practice.

[Fields, this guy is too arrogant, isn't it just a starter when he first entered the NBA? ] What's the big deal! 】

[Stingy ghost, if you don't let Jeremy Lin sleep in bed, you must be afraid of being exploded! ] 】

George snorted lightly, and didn't say much, he is the person who wants to become an NBA superstar in the future, and just Fields is not worthy of making George angry.

Since Fields didn't pick up the ball, George walked over to pick up the ball himself, and when he finished picking up the ball and walked back to his own half, Fields suddenly stopped George: "Wait a minute. ”

George stopped and looked at Fields.

Fields smiled and asked, "If you started the game against the Raptors, how many points do you think you can take?" ”

Fields scored 10 points in his NBA debut, which is a passing result for a second-round pick.

George said perfunctorily: "Maybe 5 or 6 points." ”

Fields smiled even more, and walked over to snatch the ball from George's hand and hold it in his own hand.

George was puzzled: "You are ......"

Fields smiled and said, "I'm done with my three-point training, and now I'm training the next content, and I need you to help me." ”

George said, "Oh, okay, what do you want to train?" ”

Fields said with a smug face: "One-on-one!" ”
