Chapter 316: Angry Arenas
After landing on the ground, Arenas stumbled and almost fell, and finally managed to stabilize his center of gravity, he turned his head and glared at Mutombo, but the latter is a senior of the 76ers, and he is just a rookie, so he only dares to express his anger with his eyes.
But Mutombo didn't let him go, instead laughed loudly: "I really don't know why the team chose you in the draft, look at you now, it's like a little kid crying to go home to find your mother." Go back to your mother's arms and nurse! We in Philadelphia don't need you to stare at your opponent but don't dare to do anything! ”
Although Mutombo is not known for trash talk, he has been in the league for so many years, and he will definitely be able to say a few words anytime and anywhere, not to mention that this is what Chang Wei has explained before, so for the newcomer Arenas, Mutombo completely unceremoniously began to attack him with trash talk, hoping to provoke his anger.
Arenas's anger rose in his heart, and he didn't dare to confront Mutombo, so he could only vent his anger on the court. He had completely forgotten what Chang Wei had told him before, and now he had only one thought in his heart, and that was to use the goal to make Mutombo pay the price, telling him that although he was a rookie, he was not something to be easily insulted.
The ball is still in the hands of Arenas, and his only task today is to let go of the attack, looking at Mutombo who is waiting under the basket, Arenas gritted his teeth and showed a ruthless look in his eyes. It stands to reason that he has just been deflated under the basket, and he should choose to shoot this round, but Chang Wei knows that Arenas will definitely choose to break through to the basket again, and it may even be a violent dunk.
As Chang Wei expected, Arenas still broke through this round, and it was even more simple and rude. He didn't even make a feint, he just started and rushed to the basket, obviously trying to eat with speed. But Mutombo is all too familiar with this offensive style, he originally faced a dribble master like Iverson when he was in the team, and now it is not too simple to limit a completely brainless rookie, Arenas's experience is still too lacking.
Although Mutombo could easily fan Arenas' layup, but thinking of Chang Wei's instructions before, he still clicked his waist at the moment when Arenas made a layup, Arenas's chest was breathless, and the movements of the layup were deformed, and without accident, the basketball hit the basket directly, and then popped out of the bottom line.
Arenas didn't know much about Mutombo's strength, so he thought that the big man in front of him would only use small moves to stop his attack. He didn't pick up the ball that rolled to the outside of the baseline, and said angrily, "Do you only use small moves on the defensive end?" Do you dare to go head-to-head with me for a showdown? I don't think the 76ers will be full of players like you, right? ”
That's also garbage talk, but who is Mutombo? Such a verbal attack was not even an itch to him, and Mutombo smiled slightly: "Boy, it is useless to take advantage of you verbally, I don't believe that you can defeat me head-on." And if the 76ers are all people like me, you'll be able to see it when the training camp comes. ”
Arenas didn't take advantage of it verbally and could only continue to attack. But in each of the next rounds, he was easily restrained by Mutombo, and he was also very embarrassed by his subtle subtle movements. It made him completely lose his mind, and every offense was very simple, and he just wanted to get the basketball into the basket in the shortest possible time.
For twenty minutes, dozens of rounds, Arenas was completely unable to break through Mutombo's defense. Chang Wei shook his head slightly on the sidelines, Arenas still didn't listen to what he said before, in the face of Mutombo's provocation, he couldn't judge the situation on the field well, and would only attack according to his instincts. It's okay for a superstar to play on instinct, but Arenas can't, he's just a rookie right now, and instinct alone can't beat Mutombo.
Chang Wei believes that if it is on the court, Arenas may be brainless on the defensive end, because there is no reason for a player who is carried away by anger, he will only think about getting back on the court, and will not think about other aspects. Chang Wei wouldn't be surprised if it turned into a stadium brawl in the end, and Arenas did such a thing.
However, Chang Wei did not plan to remind Arenas that it would be better for him to suffer before the start of the season, so that he would know how to play in the NBA. A talented player will be welcomed by any team, but if the character is too bad, the manager will have to think about it, and taking a ticking time bomb with him at any time could hurt himself at some point.
Half an hour passed, and Arenas sat on the floor, gasping for breath, but still looking indignantly at Mutombo, who was smiling under the basket. Although Mutombo is also very tired, it is rare to be able to use small actions unscrupulously to scare others, not to mention that this is still helpful to the team, so why not hurry up and make a shot?
After so many seasons in the NBA, rookies like Arenas have seen a lot of rookies, Mutombo, who thinks they are the saviors of the team, and they hope to get unlimited firing rights when they first enter the team. However, it is not common for someone like Arenas to join last season's championship team, and he still has such a strong self-confidence, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Now it is clear that Chang Wei wants to sharpen Arenas's temperament, and Mutombo naturally wants to fully cooperate.
Chang Wei and Mutombo exchanged glances, slowly paced to Arenas' side, and said solemnly, "Gilbert, what do you think of your one-on-one fight with Deacon Bay?" Does it match your previous thoughts? ”
Arenas said unconvinced, "Who made him always use tricks against me? Otherwise, I'll be sure to blow him up! ”
Chang Wei sneered: "Don't you still understand? The NBA is such a place where the weak eat the strong, no one will show mercy to your subordinates because you are a rookie, using yin tricks on the defensive end is just a piece of cake, if you will always be angry because of the opponent's small means, and then affect your own offense, I can only tell you that you are not suitable to play in the NBA yet, you should go back to college and practice for a few more seasons, and when you learn to control your emotions, you will have a chance to go further! ”
