I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 97 Maddie Possession
Three hours before the start of the third game of the China-US men's basketball match, Joey Dorsey returned to the team.

"Joy, why do you..."

Coach Calipari only asked half a sentence, and swallowed the rest of the question after seeing the disciple's face clearly.

The teammates also put away the prepared jokes one after another. Even a tough guy like Robert Dozier or a bastard like CD Roberts can see how hurt Dorsey's heart is.

Today's Dorsey looks completely different from the past. The big boy who is carefree, laughing, and full of sunshine and vitality is gone, replaced by a desolate and indifferent man with deep sadness in his eyes.

Rose stepped forward and gave his eldest brother a tight hug
, saying, "God bless you, my brother!"

Some pains, when you first encounter them, you don't feel much, but after a period of fermentation, you will feel the pain beyond measure.

Dorsey is not a reckless man, the souls of the two worlds are fused together, making his mind more mature.

In fact, he should have noticed the strangeness of the matter a long time ago. If he had thought about it calmly in advance, he would have been able to deduce the whole picture of the incident with close accuracy.

But the fan of the authorities, when it came to his own emotional problems, he didn't calm down and think about it carefully. Maybe it was because he didn't want to subconsciously, or maybe he didn't dare. In short, he was like an ostrich. He chose to stick his head in the ground.

As a result, he still hurt himself in the end.

On the flight, he was like a wounded lone wolf, licking his wounds alone.He recalled a lot, remembered a lot, and reflected a lot.

However, fortunately, he has been a human being in two lifetimes, so he will not seek death and life like his peers who are broken in love, nor will he sink to the end and never recover.

But the heart still hurts.

Dorsey knew that at the critical moment of the upcoming draft, he should not be bothered by these children's love, and should not be controlled by negative emotions, but no one can be ruthless than grass and trees, and he needs to vent.

Some people vent their feelings by drinking a lot of wine, some people find a place where no one is around and cry, and some people even fight hard.

But these are not suitable for Dorsey, but it happens that he knows a good way to vent.

He wants to play a good game on the basketball court, and turn all the depression, aggrieved, unhappy, anger, and unwillingness in his heart into endless power, and crazily destroy the basket and opponents!
Roar, my fighting spirit!

Tremble, my opponent!

"Coach, please let me participate in the next game!" Dorsey said to Kashuai.

"But, Joey, guess you just came back, and your condition..."

"You don't have to worry about my state. If I don't play well, you can replace me at any time. However, I have one request."

"what?"

"Please don't limit me with the framework of position and tactics in this game, please let me play as I want!"

"..."

To be honest, Coach Calipari didn't quite understand what Dorsey meant.

What does it mean not to be restricted by position and tactics?If you can't play the tactical requirements, it must be that you can't play well, but he just said that if you can't play well, you can replace him. Isn't this inconsistent?

Kashuai only thought that Dorsey had been hit too hard and his mind was no longer clear.

Kashuai, who is good at brainstorming, has already brainstormed the process and results of his trip to the capital from Dorsey's unlucky appearance.

Young people, what else can they do, it’s nothing more than finding out that their girlfriend doesn’t love him anymore, running away with someone, or being caught and raped by him directly in bed, in short, it’s a lovelorn.

He looked at his proud student with some sympathy, and wanted to enlighten him on the life philosophy of "as long as he can get by, even if his head is a little green", but looking at his dejected appearance and his increasingly thick elbows, Kashuai felt that It is better for disciples to comprehend matters of emotion by themselves.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the game wins or loses, just let him vent. If he plays really badly, just replace him.

"Okay, Joey, enjoy the process of the game and forget about those unhappy things!"

When changing equipment in the locker room, Dorsey turned on the system and equipped McGrady's star card on himself.

This is the reward for the NCAA championship milestone event.

At the beginning, when he got this card, he was ecstatic and treasured it carefully, wanting to use it in the most critical place.

However, I didn't expect to use it so soon, and it was still used in an insignificant invitational match.

But he didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't have any regrets.

3 The reason why he equips this card now is because of one purpose - he wants to kill more happily!
Only by unscrupulous destruction on the court can the depression in the heart be better vented.

He wants to pay homage to his lost love and youth with a gorgeous performance and massacre on the field!

The poor Chinese training team players still don't know what kind of terrifying opponent they are about to face!

A young McGrady full of fighting spirit and full of spiritual attributes!

******
USA, Chicago, Attack Athletics Arena.

The largest combined training camp ahead of this year's draft is held here.

Dozens of talented young people from all over the world showed their talents here, and more staff, training partners, media workers, scouts and managers gathered here.

The Attack Athletics arena is like a melting pot. During the NBA offseason, the basketball atmosphere of the league is set to the hottest.

BJ Johnson, the chief scout of the Rockets, is in this melting pot at the moment, feeling the fiery basketball atmosphere.

Although the team has formulated a draft strategy in the general direction, but adhering to the concept of "don't put eggs in the same basket", they have not given up looking for other outstanding young talents.

The Rockets' season has come to a halt in early May.

It's hard to say whether this was a successful season, but it was definitely an extraordinary one.

The team not only experienced the pain of coaching change at the beginning of the season, but also survived the arduous schedule of star Yao Mai being injured in turns. In the end, the team united from top to bottom, and the three armies worked hard to achieve a 22-game winning streak. In the first round, they lost to their old rival Utah Jazz with a total score of 2:4, and they were unfortunately out.

The most important reason for being out of the game is the serious injury of the inside pillar Yao Ming.

Without Yao Ming, the Rockets seem to have lost their pillars and backbone.Although another leading star Tracy McGrady showed a rare positive performance in recent years, but still could not break through the curse of the first round.

What is even more worrying is that this is the third major injury to Yao Ming in recent years.

Finding a qualified inside helper for Yao Ming has become a top priority for the current team.

Since the end of the NCAA finals, various training camps and joint trials have emerged one after another. BJ also entered the "trapeze mode", was removed in various training camps across the United States.

These days, he has seen all kinds of inside players of different types, styles, and skills.But it seems that the result of looking at it is that "Asakusa can have no horseshoes", and BJ Johnson is more and more sure that Joey Dorsey is the most correct candidate.

Joey Dorsey is not the strongest player in this draft, but his position, style of play, personality, defensive enthusiasm and participation are definitely the most suitable candidates for the Rockets.

But unfortunately, Joey Dorsey did not participate in any training camps, and he also rejected the NBA team's invitation to try out, and he never saw his performance after the NCAA finals.

This made BJ feel very uncertain, and became more and more itchy.As the old saying goes, the best is what you can't get, and the most attractive is what you can't see.

In fact, it is not just BJ Johnson who has this kind of mentality. The collective absence of the "Memphis Iron Triangle" has made more than half of the NBA teams scratch their hearts, especially the favorite No. [-] pick Derek Rose. !
Many NBA executive scouts jumped up and down in a hurry.

Some people say that this is the hunger marketing strategy of Brown, the agent of the "Memphis Iron Triangle".

Some people say that the "Memphis Iron Triangle" is full of confidence and has reached a private agreement with a certain team respectively, and there is no need to show their faces in public.

Some people also say that the "Memphis Iron Triangle" is too good to be true. There are various problems, even hidden dangers of injuries, and they dare not show them with real swords and guns.

Others said that what the "Memphis Iron Triangle" did was an insult and contempt to the NBA team, and everyone should boycott it.

The outside world is noisy and heated.However, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so don't play chat in front of anyone. Just listen to these words, and whoever takes it seriously is a fool!
For example, the one who initiated the boycott may now be throwing chips desperately in private to recruit someone from the "Memphis Iron Triangle" to his team.

However, fortunately, the "Memphis Iron Triangle" is not completely isolated from the people, and it still gives everyone a chance to observe.

In fact, there are good reasons for their absence:
In order to enhance the friendship between China and the United States, strengthen the sports and cultural exchanges between the two countries, and to repay the nurturing grace of the parent team, the University of Memphis, and to show the demeanor of the NCAA championship team, they decided to go to China to compete with the Chinese team, the first brother of Asian basketball. Arm wrestling.

Look, what is this called? This is called serving the country with loyalty and loyalty!
On the moral level, there is no way to criticize the choice of the "Memphis Iron Triangle";

From the perspective of competition, it seems that traveling across the ocean to face the host of the Olympic Games, which has been preparing for a long time, is more valuable than participating in a training camp with only a group of young people.

All the NBA managers, scouts and various media can only wait with anticipation in their hearts. How come this nervous, excited and slightly apprehensive mood is so like the feeling of first love?
The performance of the "Memphis Iron Triangle" did not disappoint the waiting crowd.

The first two games were evenly divided with one win and one loss.

Rose is still the brightest star, averaging 19 points and 9 assists in the two games, which is a super engine for the team's outstanding performance;
Dorsey completely dominated the inside line. Not only did he control both offensive and defensive rebounds, but he also beat CBA MVP Tang Zhengdong to nowhere;
Even Nerve Knife CD Roberts also showed excellent competitive state, averaging 23.4 points per game, firmly ranking as the scoring leader.

For the first two games, TNT TV only recorded and broadcast them, while the third game will be broadcast live across the United States.

At 6:1 am on June 6st local time in Chicago, many professionals had already gathered in the lounge of the Attack Athletics Arena.

It stands to reason that it is definitely more comfortable to lie on the big bed in the hotel and watch the TV broadcast at this time, but the reason why everyone gathers together is that they do not want to miss this opportunity to communicate with insiders. useful information.

And in the Hilton Hotel where the draft players lived, there were also a few guys who were predicted by the media to be higher in the draft picks and were watching the game.

Compared with the people who are full of expectations, BJ Johnson seems a little bit down this time, because he has learned through his own internal channels that Joey Dorsey will miss the game.

What's the point if Dorsey doesn't fight?
Ross?He is good, but he is definitely the top three in the draft, and he is destined to miss his team;

CD Roberts?The current Rockets have no shortage of young outside scorers. Hyde hasn't been trained yet, so how could he be drafted again?

BJ felt that the noise around him had nothing to do with him, and he regretted a bit, why didn't he sleep in on the big bed in the hotel!
However, when the game started, BJ's eyes lit up because he saw Joey Dorsey standing in the middle of the field and preparing to jump the ball!
What is a surprise?What is a TMD surprise!

BJ is not sleepy anymore
