Chapter 189: Who Said I Was Wrong!
Meet Sean Livingston again!
In the previous meeting, across the screen and more than 10,000 kilometers away, Sun Zhuo saw a 32-year-old veteran, as Stephen Curry's first backup, conscientiously completing his work in the finals, using his tall body, and scoring on the court again and again with his best back-to-back shots.
At that time, he had broken his leg, wandered, and was unable to play in the NBA for a while.
At that time, he had the most ordinary and ordinary flat head, a little beard, no smiling, no trash talk, and no superfluous movements, just an ordinary veteran role player.
Now, what Sun Zhuo sees is a conceited teenager with the most individualized hairstyle and a vigorous face, and Livingston in a Warriors jersey is like two people......
"Livingston...... How good would it be if there were no injuries? Sun Zhuo couldn't help but sigh when he saw Livingston.
Livingston's career can be summed up in six words: talent, injury, rebirth.
He just entered the league, known as the second magician, Pat Riley once said that the most perfect No. 1 position in basketball in the future is tall and flexible, slender legs and arm span, excellent stride and breakthrough rhythm, good vision, excellent dribbling ability, this is exactly what Livingston is talking about, Livingston is now short in attack distance, no three-point shot, no defense, and his character is also very stubborn.
Livingston gradually improved himself, sat firmly in the starting No. 1 position of the Clippers, and his skills had already taken shape, but at this moment, at the age of 21, when many professional players had just begun their careers, their careers were ruined!
It was an injury in February '07, which was really unbearable, and after the injury, he was not facing the question of whether he could continue his career at all, but whether he could keep his left calf.
In the end, fortunately in misfortune, he saved this leg, and then spent 18 months rehabilitation, no one regards him as a genius boy anymore, people see him, they will only think that there is a two-meter-three-meter shell in front of him, what else can this guy do? No team is going to want him.
Livingston did not give up his basketball dream, he did helpless training again and again on the court, and he was unwilling to accept that the start of the second half of his life was so young at the age of 23!
So, in the golden age of 23 to 28 years old for professional footballers, he wandered around, tryouts, signings, trades, layoffs, and so on.
Finally, in response to that sentence, Tianxingjian, the gentleman strives for self-improvement, Livingston finally found a stage to prove himself in the Warriors, he was the first substitute for Stephen Curry, the core of the team, to help the team win the championship, and was an indispensable contributor to the team.
Sun Zhuo was full of emotion when he saw Livingston, Livingston definitely deserves the respect of any professional player, his spirit of never giving up is admirable, but since Sun Zhuo has been reborn and returned to Livingston when he was not injured, can he prevent this tragedy from happening? Why let Livingston go through that torture and pain again? He should have been a great NBA player all the time!
"Although I only remember that Livingston was injured in 2007, no matter what, I want to try my best to prevent the tragedy from happening to him again, not only him, but also Maddie and Yao Ming, Maddie has also experienced too many injuries and mental blows, Yao Ming has no championship in his whole career, and there will be a chance for our two brothers to join hands to get one, and Paul George, who was injured too badly, and Dwyane Wade, I want him to earn more people's respect......"
For a while, Sun Zhuo felt that he had a lot to do in addition to pursuing championships and personal honors, he wanted to prevent the tragedy from happening, and he wanted to prolong the career time of every star as much as possible, which seemed to be the meaning of his rebirth.
No matter how strong a person is and has won all the honors, how can he compare with a group of stars with different talents?
……
"Why is he smiling at me?" Livingston was a little puzzled when he saw Sun Zhuo's friendly expression, this smile was very warm, and he couldn't understand and speculate more deeply about whether Sun Zhuo had other meanings.
After the game started, Livingston did not start, the Clippers' starters were Jarrich, Margetty, Simmons, Brand and Wilcox, the Clippers are also among the ranks of the weak teams, and the Lakers are trying to win today.
Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy was a little emotional, because last season, Kobe Bryant also took the initiative to contact him and said that he could join the Clippers, but in the end, he still couldn't see Kobe wearing the Clippers jersey.
There was no suspense in the game, and after a few minutes, Clippers rookie Sean Livingston was sent onto the court, and there was a lot of talk on the floor.
"Shaun Livingston, the star player of high school, was sent on the court, he was the fourth selected in the first round, and I wonder if Sun will bully this kid like he did with J.R. Smith and Dwight Howard."
"Both play in Los Angeles, don't ride the dunk, this kind of action is a bit ruthless, Sean doesn't look like an optimistic big boy like Dwight Howard, a dunk ride, may cause a shadow in his heart."
There was a lot of discussion, and Livingston, who had just come on the field, also felt this atmosphere, and suddenly became a little nervous.
"I don't know if this guy Sun will target me, but we are in different positions, so there shouldn't be much chance of fighting." Livingston thought.
As soon as Livingston came on the court, he used his agile and slender feet and dribbling to give everyone a pleasing visual experience, his rhythm was very good, and watching him play made people feel aura.
Sun Zhuo was also very pleased to see Livingston, which was completely different from his previous cognition, so when the Lakers were attacking, Sun Zhuo deliberately hooked Livingston and signaled him to defend himself.
Seeing Sun Zhuo's action, the scene was immediately in an uproar.
"Oh, look, Sun took the initiative to provoke Shaun Livingston! Haha, there is a good show to watch, Sun really has different emotions for rookie players! ”
It is rumored that Sun Zhuo likes to abuse rookies, and Livingston has long heard about it, since Sun Zhuo took the initiative to make an appointment, how could Livingston, a conceited teenager, be afraid of him?
Livingston immediately stepped forward to defend Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo is about the same height as Livingston, but his body is bigger than Livingston, and he keeps hitting the opponent with his body, and Livingston moves back step by step.
"If one day, Kobe Bryant and Maddie leave the league, and you are the person who shoots the most in the NBA, do you believe it?" Sun Zhuo opened his mouth to Livingston while leaning on the fight.
"What did you say?" Livingston didn't pay attention to what Sun Zhuo was saying.
Sun Zhuo didn't reply, and directly rolled over and made a backward jumper, just like the Warriors' Livingston often does.
Accurate hits.
"As a tall No. 1 position, you have to practice my back-to-back singles ability." Sun Zhuo said to Livingston.
Livingston stubbornly replied, "Don't think that you alone can, I won't be worse than you!" ”
"Come on!" Sun Zhuo patted Livingston on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
This friendly action made Brand of the Clippers dumbfounded, "Sun has been relying on Sean's body to fight, and he didn't forget to touch Sean again after the fight...... Who TM said I misinterpreted! ”
