Chapter 186: Natural Leader Temperament [First Update]
Jason. Terry's face was particularly ugly, he had never been so humiliated by a rookie.
The whole fist was clenched, and he couldn't wait to punch him directly at the face that made him extremely disgusted.
"Listening to the cheers of the crowd, it only took Wood seven minutes to get the fans in love with him, and if it were me I would also like a rookie who can give the team hope of victory.
It was said before that that Orlando was going to the lotto zone, and I think after this game those guys would swallow what they had said and put Orlando as a contender for the Eastern Conference playoff spot, which is called the expert. ”
Barkley's words frustrated the so-called pundits watching the game in front of the television, but Barkley was right, and many of them were ready to swallow what they had said.
Two consecutive offenses boosted the Magic's morale and hit the Mavericks' morale.
The little general Avery on the sidelines. Johnson asked the referee for a timeout, and he felt the need to call a timeout to rearrange it, but of course more in the hope of using this timeout to interrupt Linson's state.
"You've done a great job, Wood, but I'm more interested in how you keep your charm." Dwight. Howard put his arm around Lin Sen's shoulder and licked his face.
In the past two days, Lin Sen has seen how lascivious Howard, a guy who looks very funny and often shows a childlike smile, is a lascivious guy, since that day Lin Sen jokingly taught him two tricks on how to attract women. As soon as he had time, he pestered Lin Sen to teach him.
But it's no wonder that Howard thinks too much, in his eyes, Lin Sen is not handsome, but women just like Lin Sen. As it is now. Many women in the audience directly flattered Lin Sen and discharged.
It's not like he's never encountered such treatment. But more often than not, the woman was trying to get what she wanted from him, such as money and fame.
And Lin Sen can not only attract the love of ordinary women, but also win the hearts of countless female stars, which is what Howard envies the most, after Lin Sen said it that day, he dreamed at night and even dreamed of successfully hooking up with Beyoncé.
"I really don't know." Lin Sen said helplessly.
"Hey, Wood, don't you treat me as a friend, you look at who is so good to you for two days, you have to know that rookies have to take on a lot of obligations, such as helping a veteran like me carry a bag and pour water to buy things. But you find ......"
Howard was about to continue, but Lin Sen's elbow suddenly poked him.
Raise your head, Stan. Van Gundy was glaring at him, and Howard shrugged, "Coach, I'm talking to Wood about how to kick that damn cowboys." ”
"Next, Chris, you replace Toney, Chelana, you replace Grant as a shooting guard, and Hedo you go back to the small forward position......"
Stan standing in the crowd. Van Gundy was quick to set up, and Azubuike couldn't believe he had a chance to play in his first game with the team, even though he had always dreamed of establishing himself in the NBA. But the fact of a year and a half told him the cruelty of reality.
Originally, he thought that the Magic signed him to make up the number of people for emergencies, and his final destination was the NBDL. But now that he's not only getting a chance to play, but the coach is also giving him a chance to shoot decisively, it's like a pie in the sky for him, it's incredible.
So much so that Stan. He didn't listen to Van Gundy's set-up at all, even when he came on the court after the timeout, his whole head was empty.
"Both sides made substitutions, with Dallas coming on for Western Conference No. 1 center Eric for Desagay. Nadiop was the one who had a brilliant play last year to curb Tim. Duncan, which helped Dallas defeat San Antonio, was also replaced by Jerry. Stackhouse replaced.
On Orlando's side, they brought on Chris. Webb listened to the cheers of the crowd to know how happy the Orlando fans were with Chris, but instead of replacing Scottie, they replaced a new man, who is he? "Kenny. Smith pointed to Azubuke, who was on the field.
Barkley followed Kenny. Smith's fingers saw that it was a young player about the same height as Lin Sen: "Who knows, but he has good muscles and looks strong." ”
Kenny. Smith was speechless at Barkley, but his colleague quickly sent him on the list: "The new Orlando No. 7 has been playing in the NBDL since his loss last year, and Orlando just signed him from the Development League Woldsburg Flyers, but he is not on a guaranteed contract.
The 1.96-tall swingman averages 26 points per game in the Development League and is the leading scorer in the Development League this year. ”
"Hey, Kenny, there's no shortage of good scorers in the Development League, but that's limited to the Development League, not the NBA."
While Barkley was speaking, the Dallas Mavericks were replaced by Josh. Howard makes a jumper.
"Look at his defense, he doesn't even have a look at it." Barkley said with a smile as he looked at Azubuk.
Webb fed the ball to Linson, who did not immediately go down quickly but did not rush to the front court.
And Azubuuk's head is still very empty. Howard came straight to him with the help of cover, and before he could react to Josh. Howard jumped and shot.
This worries him about Stan. Van Gundy would replace him and sneak a peek at Stan on the sidelines as he ran to the frontcourt. Van Gundy glanced.
And Stan. Van Gundy also didn't expect that Azubuk, who had performed well in training, had just defended Josh. Howard didn't even move, which made him a little dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction was just in the eyes of Azubuuk.
Azubuuk immediately became anxious, and at this moment Linson passed the ball to Chris, who was pulled into a mid-range position. Webb's hands.
Nowitzki stood in front of Webb, and he was well aware of Webb's abilities, and he didn't take Webb lightly because he was now at the end of his career.
Webb continued to make tentative steps, and Dwight on the other side of the basket. Howard ran for the middle distance, but Diop didn't follow him at all.
At this point, Linson ran along the three-point line, and Tekoglou's off-ball cover allowed Linson to find a catch.
Webber gave the ball to Linson with a direct blow, and Starhouse immediately threw away his own defense and Azubuk pounced on Linson. Obviously, in the eyes of Stackhouse, Azubuk is far from being able to compare with Lin Sen, a rookie.
Diop also began to shrink into the middle. Prepare to make up for Lin Sen.
Linson was about to signal for Howard to cut to the basket when he thought that Azubuike was open outside the three-point line.
During these two days of practice, Azubuike's shooting ability impressed the whole team. Especially the three-point shooting ability is even more outstanding, thinking of this, Lin Sen's left wrist flipped, and the ball that bounced off the ground left Lin Sen's palm directly.
Stackhouse, who was chasing the defense, didn't expect Linson to pass the ball at all, and when the ball passed past him, Stackhouse subconsciously made a gesture of reaching out.
"Wood, pass!" Kenny, who has been focusing on Linsen. Smith shouted immediately.
However, Kenny. Before Smith's words could be finished, what was supposed to be a great pass from behind the back of the man was directly hit by Azubuuk's hand and bounced out of bounds, turning into a mistake.
"Oh, is this guy undercover? On the defensive end, even children know it, even if they can't prevent it, they have to show fierce eyes, but he doesn't know. On the offensive end, he wasted a brilliant pass from Wood, what was he doing, sleepwalking? God knows, Stan. How could Van Gundy be stupid enough to send him on the court, kid you will still be the NBDL scoring champion. ”
Charles. Barkley's voice was loud, and the commentary bench was on the sidelines, not far from Azubuuk, and Barkley's words Azubuuk heard clearly.
He himself didn't expect Lin Sen to suddenly pass the ball to him, and when he wanted to reach out to catch it, the ball was already in front of him, which caused the ball to smash into his hand and bounce out of bounds.
Many fans at the Waterhouse Centre even booed him, and with Barkley's words ringing in his ears, Azubuike felt like he had never been more embarrassed. Don't even dare to go to see Stan. Van Gundy.
Stan, off the field. Van Gundy patted his head: "I'm so stupid, Devin is ready to play!" ”
German. Brown hears Stan. Van Gundy's words immediately stood up.
"Hey. It's my fault, Kailana, I'm passing it on too casually. Lin Sen walked up directly and slapped Azubuk's buttocks.
Azubuk kept his head down, and even startled Lin Sen when he patted him.
"Your fault? No, it's my fault, I wasted a good opportunity and let you make one more mistake. "Azubuuk, who was undrafted in last year's draft, is almost four years older than Linson, and now he's like a kid who did something wrong.
"Isn't it just a mistake, what's the big deal, I'm not also a gray person who came here from Minnesota, look up this is not what a man should be, just remember to add an assist to me next time I make this mistake." Lin Sen patted Azubuike's back and ran towards the backcourt.
Azubuk raised his head and looked at Lin Sen who ran away, his heart was full of gratitude, he knew that Lin Sen said these words to comfort him, but this was completely unimaginable to him, and the messy thoughts in his head slowly became clear.
"Give him an extra assist!" Azubuk muttered, and ran towards the backfield, looking completely different from what he had just done.
"Oh Wood seems to be enlightening young Chelana, in fact Wood is younger than everyone else in the room, but it's not surprising that Wood is doing it, Charles, that's leadership, isn't it?" Kenny. Smith turned to look at Barkley.
Needless to say, although Wood didn't say that he came to Orlando as a leader, his actions told everyone that he was an Orlando leader and fit to be a leader, and of course he and Michael were two different people.
If it were Michael, at the moment, I guess this rookie would go out crying and not like this. Barkley said, looking at Azubuk.
German. Brown sat down in front of the jishu stage, but Azubuuk let go of the tension in his heart and single-mindedly defended, and he also wanted to score from Josh. Howard ended up shooting with a shot that came close to a three-and-three miss.
Webb grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately handed it to Linson, who dribbled the ball through half court and waited for his teammate to get into position.
Pretty much the same as just now, Linson used Webb's cover to shake off Harris's defense and then attract Stackhouse's bag.
Linson didn't come on his own or pass the ball back to Webb, who was high and empty, but passed the ball directly to Azubuke on the outside.
Azubuike didn't let Linson's pass turn into a mistake, and he received the ball steadily and kept thinking about adding an assist to Linsen.
When Josh. When Howard pounced, Azubuke seemed to be completely out of sight and threw the ball straight away.
The ball arced through the air and landed steadily into the basket.
