Fifteen minutes before the Bulls locker room.

The atmosphere in the locker room was awkward, and Korver was so upset that he was being played by George, a rookie, that he sat in a chair in front of the locker without saying a word.

Korver joined the Bulls this summer, and as the leader of the team, Rose has the responsibility of taking care of the "new players on the team", and he values Korver as a new signing.

He admires Korver's three-point shot because he is not good at shooting threes himself, and the rest of the team is not good at it, and Korver is a very important addition to the Bulls.

Rose was standing in front of his locker, glancing at his phone to see if he had received a text message, and then put the phone back on the lower floor with the upper and lower cabinets, and then walked to Korver and said, "Don't take it too seriously, I know you still think about the rookie who lied to you." ”

Korver sighed wistfully: "I've been in the league for seven years, and it's so humiliating to be played by a rookie who just played his second game, and his goal may be in the top ten goals of the day." ”

Seeing Korver's distressed look, Rose wanted to help him solve this trouble, so he said, "Why don't we help you teach him a lesson." ”

Then, he looked at Thibodeau and asked, "Coach, can you help us design a tactic to lure that No. 30 rookie into the bait?" ”

After hearing this, Thibodeau walked to the place facing the door, took down the small blackboard hanging there, and said: "It's very simple, we just need to leave the door of the restricted area open, and then pretend to make a mistake in defense, he plays so smartly, he will definitely cut in and attack the basket, once that's it, we can surround him inside, I guarantee he can't even pass the ball." ”

"It doesn't take so many people." Rose walked up to Thibodeau and said, "I can do it alone, I'm going to seal his ball on the rebound." ”

Seeing that the team boss and the head coach wanted to avenge him, Korver felt warm in his heart, and said: "Derek, Coach Tom, thank you, but he is just a substitute, how can he be qualified to let Derrick personally play and coach you to design tactics personally?" He didn't deserve that treatment, and besides, I guess he didn't get much of a chance in the second half. ”

Ross said: "It's simple, you just have to use his tricks to trick you to play Fields, and their coach will replace Fields 100 percent." ”

Thibodeau quickly drew a "lure the enemy deeper" tactic on the blackboard, and then laughed: "I should be the first coach to devise a tactic for a substitute, right?" I hope this guy can do something in the future, so that we don't target him in vain. ”

After saying this, Thibodeau casually raised his head, and his eyes happened to be fixed on the locker on the left hand side of the shower, and the smile on Thibodeau's face stopped abruptly at this moment, and his heart beat as if he felt the signal from the locker.

Seeing Thibodeau's eyes looking in one direction so strangely, Rose quickly turned his head to follow his line of sight.

It was a locker that had been sitting idle for twelve years, and no one dared to use it, and no one was qualified to use it, including Rose.

……

The second half of the Bulls and Knicks.

"Good hat!" Rose gave George a big hat on the board, which drew cheers from the home court!

"Welcome to the NBA." After giving away the big hat, Rose also sent George a "welcome speech" to the rookie.

[Damn! The anchor has been taught to be a man! 】

[It's still too vegetable, when is it awesome, I'll take a look.] 】

[I'll also wait for the anchor to buy a star with strong scoring ability and come back to watch.] 】

[You don't watch or reward, what does the anchor take to buy stars? ] Dollars? 】

[Funny, why should I reward if I don't like it? ] You asked the anchor to beat Rose up now, and I will reward 10,000! Never break your word! 】

Because it was blocked this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room dropped sharply, George was already upset, and he was even more upset when he watched the quarrel on the barrage, so he turned off the barrage directly.

After the ball was dropped by Rose's hat, it was instantly knocked out of bounds by George, and at this time, Rose was high-fived Korver in celebration.

"Nicely covered, thank you, Derek." Korver laughed.

Ross replied, "That's all as it should be." ”

From the expressions of the two, George suddenly realized that this was a premeditated block!

"Korver's defense is not so bad, he deliberately let me in, Rose has been waiting for me for a long time, no wonder he dares to use two hands, since they have planned it a long time ago, then their coach must also know!"

George suddenly looked at Thibodeau on the sidelines, and the moment Thibodeau saw George, he quickly turned his back with a weak heart.

"Hell, why should I be afraid of a rookie!" As soon as he turned around, Thibodeau regretted that he shouldn't have done this, but George's eyes were so sharp just now, he had never seen a player with such murderous eyes.

This suddenly reminded Thibodeau of a few months ago, when he was first appointed head coach of the Bulls, former Bulls general manager Jerry Clouster invited him to his home, and after the two drank two bottles of pure Chiva, Klaus recalled the past, put his arm around Thibodeau's broad shoulders and said, "Have you ever seen a look that can kill people?" I've seen it. In the 1987 draft, I didn't pick Joe Wolfe of North Carolina as that guy wanted, and guess what he said to me? He stared at me, yelled at me with a look that wanted to kill me, and asked me why I didn't choose his and Dean Smith's guys, but an idiot! Listen, he calls the people I have chosen an idiot, hehe......"

Klaus drank too much that day and talked a lot, and Thibodeau thought that the past he talked about after drinking would soon be forgotten by him, but he didn't expect that today's George would make Thibodeau remember it again and become more and more profound.

"Twice...... Why does this number 30 always remind me of that legend? Thibodeau couldn't figure out why.

George was very annoyed, he wasn't annoyed because he felt faceless by being covered, what rookie hasn't had an embarrassing experience? He refused to let go because he was calculated.

George reopened the barrage and said to the people in the live broadcast room: "If you think I can't leave, I can guarantee that I will definitely return this feud between Korver and Rose!" It doesn't matter if it takes a year or three years! ”

[Come on, anchor, which rookie hasn't been abused? ] Yao Ming was shaken to the ground, Kobe Bryant didn't shoot three times in a row, O'Neal was also dunked, if we want to see Superman, we won't pay attention to you! 】

[For the anchor's determination, give a thousand rewards! ] 】

Seeing that the team's two rookies were being targeted by opponents, D'Antoni gave Thibodeau a blank look, and it didn't take long to replace George, and Wilson Chandler, who had already committed four fouls, to the court.

Seeing George go off the field with a disgraced face, Fields was a lot proud, and said secretly in his heart: "I was tricked, and you are not much better, the competition between the two of us has just begun, don't think about robbing my starters in one game!" ”

Wilson Chandler is a veteran of the league for many years, and he is indeed more experienced than George and Fields, working with his teammates to maintain the score.

The two sides were still evenly matched until the end of the fourth quarter, with the score of 100-98, and the Knicks were ahead, but unfortunately, Wilson Chandler got his sixth foul at the end of the game, and according to the rules, six fouls must be played!

"Damn it!" Wilson was furious, there was only one minute left in the game, and as long as he persisted, the team could win, and it would be the team's first victory of the season!

Wilson's unwillingness is in everyone's eyes, and no one wants the victory in hand to be taken away by the other party in the end, and now, the key to victory or defeat lies in the player who replaced Wilson on the field.

Fields and George, who will D'Antoni pick to play again?

At this moment, D'Antoni is also hesitating in his heart!

Both of them are rookies, and neither of them has experienced such a critical moment, who should they trust?

Fields and George looked at D'Antoni at the same time, D'Antoni only looked to George's side, and he chose George, because George had a better restriction on Cornwall than Fields.

"Your job is not to let Korver score, do you have confidence?" For the first time, D'Antoni had expectations for George, and for the first time, he put his hand on George's shoulder.

"I'll guard against him!" The fire of war in George's heart has also burned!
