Volume 2: The NBA Chapter 25 The Hidden Competition for Playing Time
After walking off the field, An Ran picked up a glass of water and drank it directly. After being highly concentrated for such a long time, she was still a little overwhelmed mentally. This kind of fatigue did not come from the body, but from mental fatigue.
Just like when you are doing a big math problem, you will not feel any negative effects if you concentrate on solving the problem, but once you come out of that state of concentration, you will instantly feel a sense of fatigue.
"Not bad, not bad. I have to continue practicing. I already know initially what a role player should do." Gasol said coldly, but his tone was not serious, giving people a rigorous and serious feeling.
An Ran showed his big white teeth and said to Gasol: "The next game will be left to you, my first win in the NBA career!"
Conley laughed when he heard this, and looked at Gasol. The two stood up from the sidelines at the same time, preparing to warm up and play.
The team's starting point guard is Andrew Harrison. He didn't feel good today. After the absence of Tony Allen, the back line looked very weak. 1 of 6 shots did not help the team at all, so Fizdale spoke.
.
"Baldwin, you come and decide the points. If you feel it's not working, signal immediately so I can adjust the lineup."
Fizdale's words made Baldwin tremble. He nodded and quickly got up to warm up. What does it mean to signal immediately if it's not okay?
There are only a few people on the team, so if I’m not allowed to join, then I’ll be safe!
Baldwin was very nervous. He and Enron were originally in a competitive relationship, but Enron played a very efficient first game. Although he was playing against the Timberwolves substitute, his statistics were really good.
In the first half, he only got more than ten minutes here and there, but he only scored 7 points on 3 of 6 shots. Baldwin was very dissatisfied, because only by being better than Enron can he get stable time.
Affected by Enron, the rookies in the Grizzlies started to work hard on the court consciously or unconsciously. As a traditional organizational point guard, Mike Conley discovered this first, so he tried his best to focus on team organization and coordination.
On defense, try to give the ball to the young man as much as possible.
Last season, Conley averaged 15 points per game, and also scored 6 assists efficiently. His 41% three-point shooting rate was the highest on the team. He is the most stable offensive fortress, but his strongest point is his ability to control the field and
Ability to adapt to changes in circumstances.
After he focused on organization, the Grizzlies not only did not misfire offensively in the fourth quarter, but instead launched a wave of attacks, starting a fierce confrontation with the Wolves!
An Ran sat down and watched the game nervously. Randolph clapped a big hand over and said with a smile: "How is it? It feels pretty good."
An Ran glanced at him speechlessly and found that he didn't even sweat much. Although he wanted to concentrate on watching the game, he still said politely: "Not bad, I think I can perform better."
Randolph was happy when he heard this and said to himself: "But you have to remember that the team will not give you so many singles opportunities. Before you become a superstar, you still have to be a point guard.
It’s better to learn what you need to learn.”
An Ran's eyes became serious. Looking back, he did seem a little arrogant, as if he was intoxicated with his efficient attack just now, and seemed to have overlooked something. Randolph's words were like morning bells and evening drums, which suddenly woke him up.
.
"If you are facing a swingman like Tony Allen who has no problem guarding positions one to three alone, your singles will probably be in trouble, and
If you can't motivate your teammates, the entire team's feel and rhythm will be lost."
"That's right, think about Kyrie Irving. He led the team a few years before he was elected as the No. 1 pick. He produced super statistics, but the team was getting further and further away from the playoffs. At that time, he was not a qualified point guard." Sitting.
Tony Allen seemed to hear someone calling him. He turned around and saw Randolph and An Ran discussing this issue, so he interrupted.
Randolph nodded and said: "But now Irving, with all his strength..."
Before he finished his sentence, he saw Tony Allen trembling, as if he was remembering a nightmare that he couldn't get rid of. Irving's dominance gradually emerged in his mind.
But in an instant, Tony Allen reacted, adjusted his suit, and comforted An Ran: "It's already good for you to play for the first time. You must first help the team before you can get the opportunity to grow. Slowly
Come on, don't worry."
Seeing Tony Allen comforting himself, An Ran nodded, put his arrogance behind him, and started watching the ball seriously.
Randolph came on the field in the last 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, and Baldwin also completed his mission. His performance today was tepid. As a first-rounder, he was slightly robbed of the limelight by Enron, which still made him feel uncomfortable.
With 2 minutes left in the game, Gasol turned around and hit a shot. Before that, Conley hit a three-pointer. The Grizzlies scored 5 points in a row, leading 91-90.
After Towns also hit a three-pointer, the Timberwolves took the lead again. The Grizzlies caused a foul and Harrison made a free throw. He missed the second shot, but Green grabbed an offensive rebound and made up the ball. The two sides were tied again.
Wiggins was weak at the critical moment and missed two free throws. Gasol and Conley each made a shot, and the Grizzlies led 98-93 with 24 seconds left in the game.
Although LaVine hit a three-pointer afterwards, it was too late. Conley and Green hit free throws one after another, sealing the victory for the Grizzlies.
There was a burst of cheers at FedEx Arena, and a large number of fans and reporters rushed directly to the court to see if they could interview any players. It would be better if they could get some big news.
An Ran cheered with all the substitute players off the court, looking at the players who walked off the court as if they were welcoming heroes. He felt envious in his heart. When would he be able to fight for the team's last-minute victory like them?
Mike Conley scored 24 points and 4 assists, Gasol scored 18 points, and Randolph, who came off the bench, scored 19 points and 11 rebounds. Most reporters gathered around the three of them, making it very lively.
Wiggins had 25 points and 7 assists, the same No. 1 pick Towns scored 21 points and 5 assists, and LaVine also scored 19 points, but in the end they lost to the more tenacious Grizzlies.
An Ran noticed that Kris Dunn looked at the score board with red eyes. 98 to 102, the score difference was acceptable, and his performance was also remarkable, but his debut was completely overshadowed.
An Ran didn't say hello to him, and the same was true for him. He was not easy to deal with in terms of personality. Although they were all playing in the league, there were many people who didn't talk to him.
Randolph boasted vigorously and kept looking back at himself, as if to ask if I was handsome.
An Ran smiled helplessly, this is just a child, so cute.
After interviewing the main players, the reporter finally noticed the role players on the team's bench. An Ran originally planned to leave the game, but when he saw several foreign media stopping him, he still had a patient conversation with them.
Several
Every reporter was surprised by An Ran's English proficiency, and then left with satisfaction. Some reporters from China immediately rushed over to find An Ran and wanted to get some exclusive information.
A little girl with yellow skin stood hesitantly in front of An Ran, as if she wanted to say something, but her face was red but she didn't know how to speak.
The elder brother who was holding the camera behind was getting anxious and winking as hard as he could, thinking to himself, you are not usually like this, why are you so shy now?
An Ran paused for a moment, wondering what she wanted to say, and retracted her feet that she had just stepped into the tunnel.
"Hello, I am the intern editor of Tencent Sports. Mr. An Ran, can I interview you?"
An Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Intern editor?
Although I am not a big-name football star, it is too unprofessional for an editor to do the interview, and he is still an intern.
Feeling An Ran's eyes, the little girl stamped her feet and said, "I can become a trainee reporter soon. My name is Wang Xuanxuan, and I am currently an exchange student at the University of Memphis."
An Ran heard her announcing her home and immediately thought of it.
After settling down a few days ago, when I called Anwen, I heard her say that there seems to be a classmate named Wang Xuanxuan, who is also a journalism major. She is going to the United States as an exchange student. If she comes to interview, try to help her as much as possible.
one time.
An Ran took a closer look and found that she was indeed very similar to the person her sister mentioned. Then she remembered that there was such a thing, but seeing this situation, it seemed that this little girl was not taken seriously.
As an intern editor, there are a lot of people in Tencent's sports column studio. I don't know what kind of connections she has to come to the scene to interview me.
In fact, what Anran didn't know was that Tencent Sports did not trust Wang Xuanxuan, but instead sent five waves of people, just waiting to block Anran. They had to get the exclusive, and Wang Xuanxuan could meet him in the player tunnel.
An Ran is just lucky.
"Then just say it. I will answer whatever I can." An Ran blinked and signaled her to relax. After all, this is the person her sister asked to take care of, so she can't be difficult for her.
"Well, I want to ask you how you feel about your performance today. Are you satisfied?"
An Ran smiled, watching her ask such a routine question, and answered very naturally: "I think my performance in my debut was pretty good, and I helped the team in what I should do, but there are still some aspects that need to be improved. I
I feel that my overall view needs to be improved.”
As soon as he got into the mood, Wang Xuanxuan immediately showed the professionalism of a Shandong University student. The questions were not difficult, and the two of them had a tacit understanding of each question and answer.
"Mr. An Ran, do you think you are in the Grizzlies' plans in the future? How will your playing time be arranged?" Wang Xuanxuan finally asked the last question when he saw that it was late.
An Ran thought for a moment, what is supposed to come will come. This question is difficult to answer. As a substitute, if he can get stable time, it means that the people in front will be squeezed out, which may cause media
Misinterpretation.
If the time may not be guaranteed, many people will say that it is better to go back to China, so Enron decided to give the conventional answer and say that he is working hard to achieve it.
However, what he didn't expect was that after the interview, Randolph slapped An Ran on the shoulder, put his big head in front of the camera, and asked in English: "Be interviewed? What did she ask you?"
