Chapter 31: Rose's Counterattack
Thibodeau, a serious defensive coach, shouted on the sidelines regardless of the occasion, which made the members of the Bulls bench who didn't think George was so good that they were impressed by George.
It's no wonder Thibodeau is so responsive to a rookie, having been an assistant coach for 18 years before becoming NBA head coach for the first time this year, and during his assistant coaching career, he was best at spotting and unearthing new talent.
It is worth mentioning that the Rockets player Chuck Hayes that George now has is what he has dug up and cultivated.
Since coming to the Bulls as head coach, his tasks and responsibilities have been heavier, and he has less time to focus on newcomers, and he has not particularly in-depth understanding of the newcomers in this year's draft.
"Did I miss out on a talent in my first year as a manager?" Thibodeau had a question in his heart.
On the field, the played Korver was very annoyed, he was not a person who likes to spew trash talk, and if it was Chris Paul or Dwyane Wade who had just teased him, then he had nothing to complain about.
However, George, as a rookie who has just entered the league, why did he do such a move to Korver?
Korver felt that he had been treated with contempt and even insult by this rookie.
So, Korver looked at George and said, "This is not a rookie way to survive, boy, if you dare to continue playing like this, I can guarantee that you will be kicked out of the league in less than a month!" ”
[Hahaha, Korver got angry and started spewing trash talk at the anchor, and the anchor sprayed him back! ] 】
[The level of Korver's trash talk is the same as O'Neal's free throws, although it is not clear how high the level of trash talk is for the anchor, but I am optimistic that the anchor will win this round.] 】
[If the rookie is too arrogant, he will indeed be hated, history is like this, think about how Michael Jordan was isolated in the All-Star back then. 】
[I think of 'the Great' Embiid, who hasn't played in the league for a few years, and he is already crazy, scolding Westbrook and mocking Drummond...... And after the big hat and the heavy buckle of the opponent, you will definitely stare into the eyes of the opponent......]
[Haha, that's right, at least the anchor didn't stare into Korver's eyes after he threw in, which is already benevolent, right? 】
[Speaking of the Emperor, the most interesting thing is that he went to spew trash talk at the opponent at 0:3 in the series, but the opponent raised a 3 gesture, and the Emperor was speechless, haha. 】
[I remember one time, the Emperor tried to pull Anthony up, but Russell Westbrook stepped forward and slapped his hand away. 】
"Who is this 'Emperor' Embiid? Why does everyone talk non-stop when his name is mentioned? George looked at the barrage in confusion, he knew that there were a lot of interesting things happening in the NBA in the future, and there would be a lot of interesting people, and he had to make his career long enough to meet and experience these people and things.
George didn't stiffly reply to Korver, but it was not his style to be scolded, so he replied: "Kyle, you are such a nice person, you are also a rookie, and you are so kind of to me." ”
"What?" Korver frowned, when did he become a rookie? Did he recognize the wrong person?
Korver said: "I'm not a rookie! I've been in the league for seven years, boy! ”
George said lightly: "Oh, is that so? I thought only rookies would be fooled by such a simple feint as I did. ”
Korver: "You ......"
[Hahahahaha, beautiful! ] 】
[Anchor, if you pretend to be so forced, I won't be able to learn it! ] 】
Language is an art, and it is a lot of fun to scare people, and in this regard, Korver is obviously not a master, and he is dumbfounded.
The Bulls relied on George's play to chase six points in a row to narrow the gap to only one point, and the game continued to enter an alternating situation.
Soon, the half was over.
Inside the away team's dressing room.
Stoudemire took the initiative to sit next to George, hugged him with a smile, and said, "Mike, you did a good job today, especially the feint trick Korver's goal, you really don't look like a rookie!" ”
Although Xiao Si did not explicitly say that George was stronger than Fields, Fields had already sensed his meaning, and Fields also wondered, why did George dare to do this? He obviously hasn't entered the normal rotation lineup yet, and the coach may drop or cut him at any time, so he should be more nervous and cautious than Fields on the court.
At this time, D'Antoni suddenly looked at George and said, "George, do you have a Chinese name?" I always find it a little strange to call Asians by their English names. Oh, I mean absolutely nothing else, don't get me wrong. ”
Because both D'Antoni and George's names are "Mike", in order to score points, I want everyone to use other titles when calling George.
George smiled and said, "It's okay, everyone can call me Joe, my family and friends call me that." ”
"Hey, Joe, have you ever thought about the consequences of playing an opponent like this?" Wilson Chandler, who played for the Knicks for three years, looked at George coldly with a not-so-friendly attitude.
George knew that once he played well, he would be a threat to Fields and Wilson Chandler in the same position, so he became a little cautious: "The consequences? ”
"Haha, I just praised you for not looking like a rookie, but looking at it this way, you're really a rookie!" Xiao Si smiled and explained, "When you play away, you will always experience some unexpected things, such as there is no hot water in our away team's dressing room, or the tire of the return bus bursts, or they come here after the game to block you and teach you a lesson!" Are you afraid? ”
The more Xiao Si said it, the more outrageous it became, obviously scaring George.
George smiled: "We are such a united and loving team, even if someone comes to trouble me, you will stand up and help me, of course I will not be afraid." ”
These words made the whole team bow their heads in shame after hearing it, they are not a united and loving team, they have no cooperation on the field, and there is less communication off the field.
If someone did come to fight George, they probably wouldn't have stepped up to help.
D'Antoni also sighed in his heart: "It would be nice if this team was really as Joe said." ”
The game quickly entered the third quarter, and as is customary, the first players to be sent out in the third quarter were also starters, and although George played well in the second quarter, Fields was still the one who came on.
"I'm going to try to perform and try to beat Mike George." Fields began to feel the pressure on the field.
Rookies themselves need a period of adaptation, they have a lot of problems, the so-called speed is not enough, Fields forced to want a good performance, will only expose more of their weaknesses.
As a result, the most humiliating thing is the defense.
In the face of Fields, Korver actually made a move that George had just humiliated him, first with a fake move, and after deceiving Fields, he shot three points and hit!
"Oh my God, he actually used Joe's move to humiliate him just now, and in turn humiliated Fields!" Off the field, Turyav and Mozgov were stunned.
Isn't it obvious that Fields is inferior to George!
[It's done! The anchor humiliates Korver, Korver humiliates Fields with the same action, and the blind can see who is stronger between the anchor and Fields! 】
[The anchor is estimated to be the first to start! ] Sprinkle flowers and sprinkle flowers~】
George couldn't help but laugh off the field, Korver is really a god assist!
On the field, Fields made frequent mistakes, and after being humiliated by this action, his mentality became even more unbalanced, and D'Antoni saw this, and immediately replaced him off the field and replaced George again.
George got up from the player box to replace Fields, Fields walked towards him with a depressed face, George took the initiative to reach out, Fields didn't look at him, and patted George softly and weakly.
This simple handover ceremony made George feel a heavy sense of history.
Could it be that from now on, George will be the starter and Fields will be the substitute?
George walked on the court, very happy, and as soon as he got back on the field, he said to Korver: "Man, it's not kind for you to use my actions against my teammates, you can take revenge on me directly." ”
Korver snorted coldly, "I should have helped you, right?" At least let your coach see who's the best rookie on your team. ”
Unexpectedly, Korver was interested in helping?
George was surprised: "Shall I say thank you then?" ”
Korver didn't reply, the game continued, the third quarter was more intense than the first two, George didn't just play two or three minutes this time, the pressure was much higher than the previous two plays, and he couldn't play every offense.
In one offense, George easily got rid of Korver's defense and cut to the basket, teammate Felton saw George's opportunity, quickly passed the ball, George received the ball and made a quick layup.
But he didn't expect that the basketball was nailed to the rebound with two hands!
Bang!
This loud bang is like smashing the rebound!
It was not a two-meter-ten-year-old monster who made such a brutal move, but Rose, who was only one-meter-ninety-one!
