The world of basketball

Chapter 182 The players who have seen the big scene ([-])
Gerald Green once dedicated a very wonderful lore, the buzzer lore, and his positioning is very suitable for this, because the most he does when he comes to the Rockets is to catch and shoot, regardless of whether there is defense in front of him How about the angle after the man catches the ball, his task is to receive the pass and throw the ball into the basket.

After the buzzer-beating shot, his teammates Chris Paul and James Harden made a celebratory gesture, hiding their middle fingers. This is a specific way for teammates to celebrate Green.

There is a title for Green in the world called Nine Fingers. The man who once won the slam dunk contest has only nine fingers.This goes back to when he was a child, he used to touch the upper edge of the door with a ring, which is something that many boys like to do, but that time his finger got stuck in that place, and even Green saw himself white bones.

When his mother took him to the hospital, the doctor told them directly that his fingers could not be regenerated, which means that his fingers would never be found again.

He was only 11 years old that year.

Of course, the loss of a middle finger is not particularly life-threatening, but it can affect some, especially psychologically, especially for teenagers.The ridicule of the people around them will put them under a lot of pressure. Of course, these ridicules are not intentional, and the children who laugh at him will not realize how much trouble this will cause to the person being ridiculed.

But he can only play quietly by himself in the dark to hone his basketball skills. This makes Green's heart a little sensitive, but he is more keenly aware of and cherishes the kindness of others.

Later, Green drifted between the teams. He was selected by the Celtics, but he was not reused by Reeves.

Green is a good person, every teammate who works with him said so, Chris Paul said, if you think Green is not a good person, it is your own fault.

If it is a friend, Gerald Green can indeed be a very good friend, best friend, brother.

Like Tucker Eric Gordon, Green had been living a turbulent basketball career before coming to the Rockets. Even at that time, he was thinking, if no one can give him a new life before January 2018, [-]. If there is no contract, he will probably announce his retirement.

He said that he came to the Rockets to find him and gave him a ten-day short contract. In this ten-day short contract, he conquered D'Antoni, other teammates, and all Rockets fans.

In the summer of last season, Green's contract expired, and he only needed a two-year super mini contract of 600 million yuan, which is a big bonus for the salary space of the Rockets, which has exceeded the luxury line by a lot.

With Green's ability, it is definitely not too much for him to ask for a middle-class contract, but for him, money may not be as important as playing in the Rockets. He loves this team, loves this city, and loves this city. City fans.

D'Antoni trusts him very much. The team has ups and downs, players come and go, but D'Antoni has always put him in a fixed rotation time, even if his performance is a bit unstable in some games, but D'Antoni once said to him In a word, you can have 100 blacksmithing opportunities, and you only have three ironmaking opportunities now, so you still have 97 ironmaking opportunities.

We can imagine this for .Career managers are not trusted. For Green, who has experienced ups and downs, these words are heart-warming. This feeling of being trusted is really great.

In the second quarter, Gerald Green hit two three-pointers again, and the Rockets widened the point difference to 20 points.

The protagonists of today's game are not the Spurs at home, not the team's superstars James Harden and Chris Paul, but Tucker Gordon and Gerald Green.

Brothers who usually play may understand a feeling, especially when we are playing three-on-three or four-on-four on the court. Due to our own reasons, we did not guard our opposing friends or received teammates. When the pass does not hit an open shot, we will all have a feeling of frustration in our hearts, and we will also have a feeling of betraying the trust of our teammates. This feeling is very bad.

Gordon, after they experienced the last loss, they also felt this way.

In the last game, the Spurs beat the Rockets at home. Except for Harden's superb performance, the Rockets' shooters did not perform well. This is what made the Spurs score more than 20 points at home. reason.

This game won't happen, really won't happen.

In the last game, the tactics of double-teaming Harden and Paul were intentionally or unintentionally increased, and after the previous game, the Spurs players intentionally or unintentionally increased the double-teaming of Paul and Harden, but the Rockets The role players told the Spurs players a truth, that is, they are inaccurate in a game, it is impossible to be inaccurate in a series, and most of the time they are very accurate, especially when you dare to double-team Harden.

Harden and Paul are probably the least afraid of being double-teamed in this league. On the contrary, they may like being double-teamed very much, because their ability to play the ball is too strong. When they are double-teamed, they pass the ball out. Relatively easy chance to score.

Zhou Qi's performance is also very good. His internal and external cuts after consecutive pick-and-rolls have caused the Spurs to suffer a lot. Zhou Qi's growth is not easy.When he was in the national team, he had high hopes. The titles of the once proud son of heaven, the big devil Asia Durant and so on made Zhou Qi receive a lot of attention and expectations.

But it is true that he still had a certain gap for NBA players at that time, especially during the London Olympics, Zhou Qi played with the national team in the group stage.All the national team group matches that year failed, and Zhou Qi's performance of not daring to confront on the field was also dubbed Zhou Duoduo by the fans.

At that time, his shooting ability from beyond the three-point line was not very strong, and his physique was not as strong as it is now. Even in the domestic CBA league, he was not considered a particularly dominant player.

But the success of Porzingis has given domestic fans and Zhou Qi hope, because Zhou Qi and Porzingis are quite alike, both of them are very tall, and they are also very fast, with sufficient height and wingspan At that time, Zhou Qi was a certain threat from outside the three-point line.

Zhou Qi, who was expected to be selected at the end of the first round, was selected by the Rockets with the pick at the end of the second round. Zhou Qi was a little disappointed, but this was just the beginning. Some feeling of frustration.
