NBA bench saves national team

In this training game, apart from Butler being a little frustrated, the rookie Antetokounmpo was also very disappointed.

He originally thought that he would have a chance to perform, but he didn't expect to watch the game from the sidelines the whole time, and he was just doing the work of handing towels and water to his teammates.

What's the difference between this and when he wiped the floors for others?

Antetokounmpo was very unhappy, and even his emotions were reflected on his face. He thought he had the strength to play the game, and he worked hard throughout the offseason for so long, just to play and help the team.

But he never expected that he would not be recognized now, which was a very big blow to him.

The two superstars Kobe and Qin Feng were naturally aware of Antetokounmpo's emotional dissatisfaction, but they didn't say anything about it, nor did they take the initiative to recommend it like a coach.

After all, the coach has the coach's arrangement, and as players, they only need to obey the coach's arrangement.

And yes gold always shines.

Antetokounmpo is indeed not taken seriously now, but he will always be reused by coaches in the future.

As far as today's situation is concerned, it is also a kind of tempering for Antetokounmpo, a tempering of mind!

He has to adapt to this situation. When the coach arranges to play, he has to put in [-] points of effort to perform and help the team. When he can't get a chance to play, he can't be frustrated, but he has to do it accordingly. Get ready and wait for your chance to play.

In the league of nba, the competition among players is also very cruel.

Every player needs to seize the opportunity to prove his strength.

Now Antetokounmpo lacks such an opportunity.

But this opportunity will not be given by Kobe, nor by Qin Feng, but by himself.

You must know that Kobe was not reused when he was a rookie, and he didn't even have a chance to play. It was the opportunity he won through hard work that gradually stabilized his playing time with the Lakers and eventually grew into a superstar in the league.

After the team training match.

Antetokounmpo was very frustrated and went to clean up the court, accompanied by Butler.

"Man, don't be depressed, rookies are like this. When I was a rookie with the Bulls, I rarely had a chance to play. Even now I am a third-year player, but I am only a role player."

Butler patted Antetokounmpo on the shoulder, as if seeing himself in his rookie period, he also expressed his feelings and comforted Antetokounmpo.

"Thank you seniors. I know that opportunities are won by myself. I have come from a caddy cleaning the floor to today, and I know this truth deeply. I will stay and continue to practice, and then I will always be ready for the game. Prepare."

Antetokounmpo nodded and said seriously.

I understand the truth, but when things really happen to me, I still can't help being affected by them.

They are humans after all, not robots.

So the key is the ability to adjust emotions between people.

Obviously Antetokounmpo has a strong heart.

When he finished cleaning up, his mentality had returned to normal, and then he continued to stay for additional training when other players had left the arena.

He stayed with Jimmy Butler.

Because Butler also has a heart to become a strong man.

He is really ruthless when he fights his life, even more ruthless than Antetokounmpo.

Whether it's training or his attitude towards the game after his debut, he is full of vigor.

It is precisely because of this ruthlessness that he was appreciated by Thibodeau in the Bulls, and gradually gave Butler some playing time.

.......

On the other side, Kobe and Qin Feng left the arena together.

"Qin, that boy Giannis stayed and trained by himself again, why don't you go and guide him?"

Kobe said with a smile.

"That's his own choice. I'm only responsible for his training in the morning, but now it's afternoon, and I have to do my own thing."

Qin Feng responded, took out his mobile phone and sent Scarlett a text message.

"This kid is not bad! I admire his competitive spirit, and he has the demeanor of my year."

Kobe said he was very satisfied with Giannis.

"Not only is Giannis good, but Butler is not. That kid is even more ruthless, and he trains in a self-torturing way."

"I guess Butler is staying to train with Antetokounmpo now."

Qin Feng said, he couldn't help but recall Butler in his previous life.

What a ruthless character!

Not only ruthless, but also tough.

"Oh? Are you sure? I don't know much about Butler, a new teammate."

Kobe said, also a little surprised.

"This kid will also be well-known in the NBA in the future. I am very optimistic about his future based on the character set of 'tough'. Although the upper limit is not as high as Antetokounmpo, he is still very strong."

Qin Feng said, without being too specific, for fear of scaring Kobe.

Kobe raised his eyebrows slightly, opened his eyes wide, turned around and walked towards the arena.

"What are you going to do?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Go back and have a look. If Butler is really like what you said, then I will guide him more."

Kobe said, walking quickly into the arena.

Qin Feng also shook his head and smiled. It is estimated that Kobe will be very satisfied with Butler. In essence, they are the same kind of people. They are both great competitors and have a strong competitive spirit.

Presumably after the start of the new season, Kobe will be very satisfied with the performance of Antetokounmpo and Butler.

......

Kobe walked into the arena and immediately saw Antetokounmpo and Butler who were sweating and training on the court.

He didn't say anything, just stood on the sidelines and watched quietly.

The two on the court didn't notice either, they were still training intently.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped to rest.

"Hey, buddy, your talent is really too strong. I have a feeling that you will shine in the new season."

Jimmy Butler said excitedly.

In the training just now, he fully understood Antetokounmpo's ability and was impressed by him.

"Thank you, senior, you are also amazing!"

Antetokounmpo said with great admiration.

During the entire training process just now, he could feel the ruthlessness from Butler's bones.

He thinks that he should learn from Butler this kind of ruthlessness, which will make him more deterrent in the game.

"Thank you! When I was a rookie, my ability was average in all aspects. It was because of my fierce defense that I got some playing time."

"But I am not reconciled to just being a defensive champion, I want to play a more important role in the team."

"So I have worked many times harder than others. Now that I am in a new team, I have to work harder and get playing time to prove myself."

Butler said, frowning, his face still showing ruthlessness.

"That's right! You can prove yourself only if you win the opportunity yourself, and shut up those who doubt you!"

Kobe's voice sounded abruptly.

Antetokounmpo and Butler were stunned immediately, wondering how Kobe would appear in the arena...
