James White has been called "the strongest slam dunk king in history" since he was in high school. He was once hailed as a genius who surpassed LeBron James. The windmill dunk from the line and the dunk from the free throw line.

But such a wonderful performance only won the title of runner-up. The championship was won by a little-known white boy, David Lee, who entered the league in the same year as Stephen and was only one pick higher than Stephen. He performed a ground strike Catch dunks with the board, high-throw catches with hand-changing dunks, and 180-degree dunks after catching the ball in the air won the championship this time.

By mistake, the two entered the same university in the same year and became teammates and competitors. Because of a mistake in a key game, James White was spurned by the fans of the whole school. In desperation, he had to switch to other school.

In the slam dunk contest of the college league, James White was once again defeated by another unknown guy, David Knoll. The problem of low shooting percentage, he fell to the first pick in the second round of this year's draft, the same pick as Stephen last year.

Everyone speculated about the Spurs' intentions. Did they think this pick was their auspicious pick? This guy obviously doesn't fit the Spurs' style of play, and he has a low IQ and violent state fluctuations. Least favorite.

Everyone knows that in terms of role players, Popovich likes Brent Barry. He usually doesn't show his face, but he can always contribute to the team when he is on the court. The Spurs themselves are a low-key player. The team, the team is full of some extremely boring players.

Needless to say, Duncan, Tony Parker was originally a little more open, but after being frequently suppressed by Popovich, there is a tendency to change like Duncan, not to mention Ginobili, Ginobili is on the court. Like a lurking poisonous snake, silent, only on the court can he show his extremely sharp teeth.

In the wild and free Argentine style, there is a touch of cunning spirituality, but on the court, he is extremely rigorous. Ginobili is the player Popovich relies on most on the perimeter. This position is difficult to shake even Stephen. .

If Stephen is an all-conquering big knife, then Ginobili is the hand that holds the big knife. This is the role played by two people on the bench or at critical moments of the game. These three determine the style of the team, although Robert Horry prefers to play and mess around, but he alone can't change the entire team. After Stephen came, although his style of play was very wild and hot, but at the bottom, Stephen's performance was also very silent, except for training.

These people speculated a lot, saying everything, and some even said that the Spurs were planning to replace Stephen with James White. Valuable players are on par, let alone a second-round No. [-] pick.

Could it be used to lower the price with Stephen? This possibility is possible. Everyone knows that the Spurs have already negotiated with Stephen's agent to renew the contract, but the negotiation seems to be fruitless, but it is expected to use James White to lower the price Portions were also a bit lacking.

After Stephen came to the team, the team was doing free training. Seeing Stephen coming, everyone greeted Stephen very enthusiastically, and Stephen responded one by one. At this moment, a person suddenly got a ball and stood in front of Stephen. , opened his mouth and said: "Are you Stephen? I heard that you are the team's slam dunk champion. Let's have a competition and decide who gets this honor."

Stephen raised his head. Needless to say, it was James White. He was chatting with his teammates just now. Of course, those who were with him were all those who came over this season. Speaking of dunks, everyone naturally admired him very much. , but some people also suggested that Stephen's dunk should be no worse than him. Just as Stephen walked over, he immediately went over and challenged Stephen.

"I'm not interested, just take it if you want." Stephen looked at him, and walked past him sideways, not to mention that his foot injury was not completely healed, but it was completely healed. For a dunk of this nature Stephen didn't have the slightest interest in it either. Dunk dunks in the game are for scoring, so what's the gain from dunking here? For a worthless reputation, he would risk injury. Stephen would not do such a loss-making business.

"You have no guts." James White yelled behind Stephen, and Stephen left without even paying attention to him. These new players all showed contempt or anger on Stephen's face, some Some people think that Stephen is putting on airs, looking down on James White and the newcomers like them, isn’t he just a second-year rookie, most people here are older than him, and some think that Stephen is brave Small performance, I dare not compare with James White, after all, James White is also famous in the world for dunking, Stephen is the only one who loses so he dare not compare, he has no confidence in his performance.

Soon there was a rattling sound from the gym, as if someone was abusing the training equipment. They all thought it was Stephen getting angry at the equipment, and they all squeezed over to see Stephen. How to sulking over there.

But when they got there, they found that Stephen didn't seem angry at all, and he was training with a very flat face. When he saw them coming, he didn't even pay attention to it, just like normal training, but why did he make such a big noise? As for the sound, they soon discovered that the items Stephen practiced were all turned up to the maximum level, but this equipment still seemed unbearable.

Now none of them dared to say anything. Among them, even the insiders Jack Butler and Matt Bonner did not have this power. No matter how much they looked down on Stephen, no one could compare with this power. It was possible, and Stephen still seemed to be able to handle it with ease, without any feeling of effort at all.

After they left one by one, Robert Horry came over, sat next to Stephen and asked, "What's the matter? Get angry with these short-sighted guys, and don't take your anger out on the team's facilities, don't you have Those gym cards, isn't it good to go there?"

"I'm not angry, I'm just here to make up for the debts of the previous few days." Stephen shook his head while talking, probably because there were no characters he liked in it. Robert Horry didn't like this group of newcomers. When Stephen first arrived, he took the initiative to help, and these newcomers did not take the initiative to integrate into the team, but chose to form a group, which made Robert Horry a little dissatisfied with them.

He has no reputation and no ability, and he just came to the team and was ready to divide the territory. Isn't this obvious that he doesn't take my boss Huo seriously? Except for Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili, the team's first group or main force In addition to the players, Robert Horry considers himself the leader of the team's bench players. Even Michael Finley, who was the leader of the team, has to actively move closer to the organization when he comes here. He also led Brent Barry and Van Eyre Kessel took the initiative to absorb Stephen, a new member, which increased their strength even more.

The reason why Udic didn't gain Popovich's trust is also related to his inability to actively integrate into this small group. If you can't get in the main lineup, you can only play with the substitute lineup, but you can't play with them. If you can't establish a good relationship, if you don't have a good chemical reaction, even if you are a point guard, there is nothing you can do if others don't cooperate with you.

It's not that Robert Horry and the others exclude outsiders. This is a natural reaction. If it weren't for the good relationship between everyone, Brent Barry would not be squeezed by Stephen. He didn't have playing time and got along very well with Stephen. Michael Finley also Don't just express your dissatisfaction with silence.

Now the Spurs' forward and defensive line is counted, even if these newcomers are not counted, it is still a bit crowded. Ginobili, Stephen, Michael Finley, Brent Barry, Bruce Bowen, five people are vying for two positions, and someone must be there. There are sacrifices to be made, but the team still has to continue to sign people. Although they are all non-guaranteed contracts, this also makes them a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry about that kid. He's just a brainless guy. You look so thin, and he'll fall down when you touch him on the field. The coach suggested to him to make him gain weight. Guess what he said?" Robert Horry He lowered his body suddenly, leaned over to Stephen's ear and said.

"How to say?" Stephen also read it. James White's body is thinner than Ginobili's, but his height is taller than Ginobili's. He looks like a twig. Such a player enters the league. It is necessary to gain weight inside. Ginobili is because when he entered the league, he was already mature, coupled with his technical characteristics, the team did not have strict requirements, but he also consciously trained to increase his own strength. Muscle content, enhance your own resistance.

"That kid refused directly, even saying that gaining weight would reduce his take-off height and air time, so that many of his movements would not be able to show. Doesn't he know that he is now a professional player, no? In college leagues or exhibition games, there are not so many opportunities for him to dunk in a regular game, so does he still want to jump and dunk from the free throw line in the game.” Robert Horry’s words made Stephen very funny, a person who only wanted to show off Players who please the audience cannot survive in this commercial league. It is better to be able to dunk than to be able to defend like Stephen. What about the strongest dunk king in history, let alone the Spurs, even if it is replaced by any ball The team has no future for him, and Stephen doesn't care about him anymore.
