Guard With a Knife

The storm caused by the Orlando training camp has attracted the attention of the entire basketball circle, and all basketball media hope to get the opportunity to enter the field to shoot.

However, this proposal was collectively protested by player agents.

They don't want any video data of this game to flow out, because no one can guarantee that their players will not make a fool of themselves.

Therefore, the NBA officially prohibits reporters from bringing any shooting equipment into the arena, and they need to go through heavy inspections before entering.

In addition to strict requirements not to allow filming, the agents held a joint meeting overnight. They had to find suitable teammates for the players and then strive for enough playing time.

As agents, they cannot be as hot-headed as the players and declare their participation in the game without any scruples. They must use their professionalism to fight for the best interests of the players.

Discussions did not come to a conclusion until the early hours of the morning.

A total of 25 players were divided into three groups.

The brokerage team headed by WMG formed the Champions Alliance, and their Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook became the leaders. In addition, Snoopy, Kevin Love, Ibaka, Dante Green and Joe Crawford.

The OJ Mayo team also formed the Avengers, Brook Lopez Brothers, Jerry Bayless, Joey Dorsey, Brandon Rush, JJ Hickson, Anthony Randolph became his team members.

The lineup led by Michael Beasley, the most popular No. 1 pick, is the most powerful. Not only are Eric Gordon and Mario Chalmers two top guards, but also Europeans Gallinari, JaVale McGee, Ryan Anderson, Conte Neely, DJ White and Jason Thompson.

The three groups will be played in two matches, with the first group confrontation being determined by drawing lots, with the winner going to face off against the remaining group.

After the grouping results came out, the strength and weakness were very obvious. Although the red team has Derrick Rose and a championship-winning team, they are the most obvious shortcomings in terms of lineup. First, they have no height. Second...except for Kevin Love, the rest of the players don't have a consistent shooting ability.

"Are we going to play fast offense?"

The next day, in the locker room before the game, Derrick Rose held an emergency meeting. He called the players over, and he wanted to hear their voices.

But he was a shy man, and his voice didn't have that strong appeal.

In addition, every player wants to show his most eye-catching side in today's game, because there is a huge momentum in the arena today, and all NBA teams have sent important figures to watch the game.

"I don't like to play fast offense." Dante Green said clearly: "I like to play in traditional positions. My height allows me to easily form a dislocation advantage in the high position."

"Me too, I like singles with the ball." Joe Crawford, a senior from Kentucky, said the same.

They are all people who are predicted to be in the second round of the draft, so their desire for this game is far higher than that of Derrick Rose, Westbrook and others.

"No, there is only one basketball." Westbrook's character is very straightforward, he stared at the two: "You have to figure out your identities, I don't care what jobs you played in the school team before, but now your identities are roles player."

"Hey, man. You're not a lottery pick yet, I warn you not to yell at me..." Small forward Dante Green, who is nearly seven feet tall, walked over and tried to give Westbrook some height suppression. Let's hope the little guy from here has enough respect for himself.

But, before he could get close, Doog blocked him with his hand.

He shoved him away with just one hand and told him, "Listen, if you dare to overdo it, we have three players here and you don't want to be shoved into a locker. "

"Hey, boss, it's four." Ibaka raised his hand behind him, and his English was full of Spanish flavor.

But it is not difficult to see from his expression that he really wants to fight for his boss, so as to gain more favor from him. Lin Weiwei had already told him that if he wanted to get a lot of Chinese product endorsements, the best way was to maintain a close relationship with Snoopy's boss.

He has been practicing this.

Doug reached out to stop his eagerness.

He just wanted to reason with Dante Green, and Joe Crawford.

"I know that you are eager to improve your draft prediction rankings, and your agent may have instilled these principles in you last night. But, there is one thing, I must tell you honestly. Russell Westbrook's words That's right, you guys are role players, or... we're all role players."

Duger looked at Dante Green and Joe Crawford, and called Ibaka over.

"The NBA doesn't need so many ace players who play singles with the ball. In terms of talent, we will never be able to compare with Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love. The predictions on the three major draft websites have already It says it all."

"However, the NBA needs blue-collar workers who do dirty work, engineers who can execute tactical moves perfectly, and sixth men who can stand up and score in the main rotation stage of the team. If we can do these things, and show it. I believe that it is not difficult to get a job from the NBA. Even, we can have a longer career than them.”

"Remember, the stage is big enough today, but before stepping on the stage, everyone must define their identity."

Doug told Dante Green about them.

This makes their brains think.

Unlike Westbrook, he doesn't have a condescending tone.

And unlike Derrick Rose, he's more confident and a better speaker.

Derrick Rose watched Doug settle the role player with a few words, and he suddenly appreciated it in his heart.

At this time, Doug had turned around, and he pointed at Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook: "Listen, if you fight for the ball on the offensive end, then I will take over your basketball at the free throw line and carry out the game." Redistribute."

"Look, we've got five guys here... including Kevin Love. We don't like endless screens, blocks, rebounds, and then watching you run into the opponent's basketball like headless chickens. The encirclement will make all our efforts in vain."

Doug's words were warning.

Moreover, both Rose and Westbrook have discovered that Dante Green, Joe Crawford, and Kevin Love all stepped behind Snoopy, and they supported his warning with actions.

The two exchanged glances quickly. Derrick Rose clearly said; so, Snoopy just became the leader of this temporary team? ?

Westbrook shrugged: I'm used to it.
