NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 115 I Have Been Studying You For So Long
"I thought he was here to assist me..."

Those were the last words Ricky Davis left for Cleveland.

In his heart, he really regards himself as the boss of this team. In fact, last season's Ricky Davis was indeed the boss of this team.

It's just that in the hearts of the management, he is just the temporary boss...

Of course, the most important thing is to replace the core of a general team, either by exchanging the core of the original team from the beginning;

The Cavaliers did not trade Ricky Davis this summer, which made him think he was still the leader of the team.

Therefore, if it is really said that Ricky Davis can't figure out the situation, it is better to say that the Cavaliers management did not handle this matter well.

Can't just let Ricky Davis take the initiative to give up the position of the team boss?
But it is impossible for any player who has ever sat at the top of the league to be so heartless!
Therefore, there is actually no problem with Ricky Davis saying such a sentence under such circumstances...

But as LeBron James became the league's superstar, that line ended up being a laughable line.

Ricky Davis was nailed to the "pillar of shame" because of this!

But in fact, don’t look at Ricky Davis’s childish behavior of "triple-double", which may seem like a thorn, but off the court, he basically has no conflicts with the management, including the fact that he originally went to the Celtics. After the human team, he also played from the bench according to the team's requirements, and finally relied on his own strength to return to the starting seat.

And every time he goes to a team, he will thank his old club. For example, when he first arrived at the Cavaliers, he said that without Pat Riley, I would not be where I am today; Pierce's side, I got more open.

Anyway, Zhu Wan, who knows this period of history, still welcomes the arrival of Ricky Davis.

After all, so far in the new season, the Celtics' bench has only averaged about 19 points per game, ranking No. [-] in the league, not as good as some teams ranked after the top eight in the East and West.

The arrival of Ricky Davis can give the team's bench a stable output point.

Although his average of 20 points per game is watery and is accumulated by the right to shoot, but with his ability, there is still no problem at all as the core of the bench rotation lineup.

On the first day Ricky Davis came to the locker room, Juwan also specially led the rest of the Celtics to hold a welcome ceremony.At that time, Ricky Davis was moved.

In essence, Ricky Davis has a simple and honest personality, and he belongs to the kind of person who is very caring. He started doing charity when he was a rookie and persisted until he retired...

Once such a person feels the sincerity of others, it is easy to "get on top".

At that time, Ricky Davis was a little over the top, sending hugs one by one.

This moved the baby so much that Zhu Wan couldn't help but ask himself if the welcoming ceremony was too noisy.

In fact, the movement is okay, it is not too big, there are no mountains and rivers, and there are no famous whores. The ceremony is very simple.

But the point is at this point in time, Ricky Davis has just been abandoned by his old club, and it's the kind of abandonment without warning, and his heart is full of frustrations!At this time, Zhu Wan and the others presented a welcome ceremony, expressing the importance they attached to his arrival. Do you think he can't be moved like a bastard?

It's like you met a young woman who just got divorced because her husband cheated. At this time, you only need to...

The end result of moving Ricky Davis like an asshole is to do whatever O'Brien tells him to do.

This made O'Brien look surprised. Like most uninformed fans, he also thought Ricky Davis was a "thorn". No!
This is too that!
Ricky Davis, who actively cooperated, integrated into the Celtics' bench rotation at a speed of [-] million points. After only one or two days of joint training, he has already played well with the bench lineup.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with him being the absolute main force in the bench rotation.

Tactics are all started from him, and the speed of integration is naturally faster.

On November 11th, the Boston Celtics ushered in the last game in November, and they are still at home, so they hope to win their opponents with a victory.

Although, it is very difficult.

In the last game of the Celtics in November, they will face the challenge of the Indiana Pacers.

As the current No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, their strength is beyond doubt.

However, although the opponent is very strong, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Celtics team is not bad, talking and laughing, it seems that they don't care about the outcome of this game. ——Speaking of which, since winning the Heat, the atmosphere in the Celtics locker room has eased a lot. Although they played 5 more games during the period, they won 3 wins and 2 losses. It's good, but everyone's mentality has always been very relaxed.Even if they are about to face the Pacers today, they are still the same.

This is actually what Zhu Wan is happy to see. After all, it is not the playoffs. Every game is like facing a big enemy, with a string stretched, but the state is prone to ups and downs.

That's fine now.

At least the communication between teammates can be increased, and the more communication, the more feelings will be in place.When the feelings are in place, the tacit understanding is also in place.

In the last game, the Celtics sent out 22 assists, which really surprised the entire league. It is rare for a rebuilding team to have such a team assists.

Although there are 17 turnovers.

But the flaws do not hide the goodness, everyone's tacit understanding is getting better and better, which can also be felt.

Of course, not everyone is calm and relaxed. Ricky Davis, who just transferred to the Celtics two days ago, is now serious and waiting to play.

This is his first game with the Celtics.

In his opinion, this is an opportunity to prove that he can be the core of the Celtics bench...

He has to behave!

How can I say this guy is simple and honest, what is he thinking in his heart, it is shown on his face, even O'Brien can feel it, and he specially said to him: "Don't be so nervous, buddy, the Pacers The strength of the bench is not weak, even if you don't play well today, I won't blame you!"

He means well.

But to the nervous Ricky Davis, this is forcing him to issue a military warrant!

"Don't worry, coach, I will definitely blow up the opposite bench!"

"No, what I mean is, you really don't have to be afraid of not performing well. You have just arrived, and you will definitely need to get used to it for a while."

"No, coach, you trust me, I'm sure..."

In short, O'Brien persuaded to the end, and Ricky Davis became more and more nervous.

Zhu Wan was a little curious, what kind of pressure did O'Brien put on him?It actually made him like this.

All trembling!

O'Brien: Believe it or not, I really mean it.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, all the Celtics entered the field.

It can be seen how amazing the popularity of the new "Gemini" is in Boston. The cheers of the audience were so loud that two people who were talking close to their ears couldn't hear what the other was saying.

It's no wonder that Wade's style is explosive; Zhu Wan always makes them think of that man back then. If this is not popular, it would be a strange thing!

While responding to the cheers, Zhu Wan turned his head and glanced at the opposite field.

Jermaine O'Neal is practicing mid-range shots on the court. After a while, he has indeed practiced a stable mid-range shot, but in fact at this moment he still focuses on cutting the basket and scoring on the second offense. Coupled with small throws, mid-range shooting is not his common skill;
Reggie Miller is shooting three-pointers. Reggie Miller, who entered the league in 87, is now 38 years old and 11 months old, but from his smooth running and shooting during warm-up, you can't see his aging at all. sign;

Rick Carlisle was discussing the tactics of this game with the assistant coach. It seemed that he hadn't settled down yet, and the tactical board was erased again and again.

And... Artest!
Ok?
When Zhu Wan looked at him, this guy was also watching him covetously, wondering if he was angry, his calm and majestic appearance really seemed to be angry all the time.

Well, originally Artest's character was a "flat-headed brother".

"Brother Pingtou" is either fighting or on his way to a fight.

Artest is either angry, or on the way to anger.

Did I offend him?

Zhu Wan was puzzled.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think about the fact that I tortured my alma mater twice.

Artest still loves his alma mater very much. Because of his bad temper in high school, he beat his teammates and opponents at every turn. If St. John's University hadn't given him an offer, he might not even be able to play in the NCAA Division I.

Without St. John's University, Artest would not be where I am today.

Let me avenge my alma mater!
There are many people who dislike Juwan, but most of them are annoying him to fill the cup. Artest is the first person who wants to trouble him because of his alma mater!

Of course, if he really wants to trouble Zhu Wan now, it will be a big trouble for Zhu Wan!

If there is no "butterfly" to fan the wings, then Artest at this time will get the highest personal honor of his career-"Best Defensive Player Award" after the end of this season!
During this period, the second and third positions, including the fourth position, met him without headache...

Not to mention that Zhu Wan is still being targeted by him now!
With the addition of anger buff, he is naturally more terrifying.

However, although Zhu Wan didn't know that this guy was following him, he also knew that according to the matchup, this guy should be the main defender.So think about the strategy for this game early.

That is... to kill without holding the ball, and to use your ability to run without the ball.

This is also the way Juwan played when he first met Carmelo Anthony last year.

When encountering an opponent whose strength and hardness cannot be suppressed, he often chooses this style of play.

After further increasing his hardness and roughness this summer, the league currently allows Juwan to try without even trying, and there are not many opponents left who adopt this style of play.

Artest is one of them.

Especially after a small test of this guy's toughness in the confrontation, Zhu Wan made up his mind: I will lose this game if I hold the ball for more than 3 seconds.

Artest felt a little uncomfortable now.

Originally, what he wanted was to "teach Zhu Wan to be a man" in the "men's 1v1 battle".

But now Zhu Wan doesn't hold the ball, just keeps running without the ball. He can't exert force freely at all, which makes him very uncomfortable.

It was as if the elbows with enough strength were on the cotton.

That's called a gas.

Fortunately, without Juwan's ball-handling and only relying on Wade to attack the ball, the Celtics' starting lineup today's offensive rhythm is not smooth, and it is a bit intermittent.

On the other hand, the Pacers, although relying on defense to gain a foothold, played well on the offensive end from the beginning today, scoring consecutive goals, and at 5 minutes and 14 seconds into the first quarter, they had already led 14-8 by 6. point.

Seeing this, O'Brien quickly called a timeout.

Ricky Davis got even more nervous.

The bad start means that his responsibility in the substitute rotation stage of this game is even heavier.

"Man, do you want to try the same lineup next?" O'Brien first asked Juwan for his opinion. He also knew that facing Artest holding the ball was a lot of pressure.

But now, someone has to "break the situation."

Zhu Wan nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and at the same time, his eyes seemed to be determined: "I really have to try to change..."

"That's fine, I'll leave it to you!"

It could be seen that O'Brien trusted Juwan more and more. When Zhuwan said "change", his eyes were full of expectations.

But what O'Brien didn't know was that although Juwan said he would change the formation, this "change" was so different from the change he had in mind.

He's not going to play with the ball!

Before playing, Zhu Wan hooked Wade: "Man, try to pass me a few balls next time, no matter whether I am in a position where I can shoot or not, it's fine."

Although Wade didn't know what Zhu Wan was going to do, he nodded in agreement.

"Everyone cheer up, pay attention and concentrate!"

Zhu Wan shouted at the other teammates again.

Then subconsciously glanced at the No. 33 jersey hanging above the arena, and said silently: Try it!
I have also studied you for so long...
