Chapter 396 Deron and Rondo
Chapter 396 Deron and Rondo
"You're an undrafted guy."
"There's nothing wrong with that!"
"No matter what happens after that, it can't change this fact."
"But, I want you to know."
"You are undrafted not because you have no ability."
"But because everyone else is blind!"
"You are my substitute now."
"That's not wrong either."
"But everyone knows it."
"You're the point guard."
"So, you're playing as a substitute for me, not because you don't have the ability."
"On the contrary."
"It is precisely because you are the substitute for me that it shows your strength."
"To put it bluntly, I am the number one point guard in the league."
"It doesn't matter if it's not as good as the first. The second is also not as good as the first."
"Now, I'm your coach."
"You can just shout and tell everyone."
"You are the number one point guard."
"Show some momentum!"
"Tell everyone."
"You show up on the basketball court to beat them all!"
"Go!"
"I have new clothes today."
"Let me just sit here and watch you conquer everyone!"
Before the game.
Zhou Yao finished explaining his tactics for the last time.
He said some words of encouragement to every player who played.
Especially Rajon Rondo, who replaced him in the starting lineup.
……
Rajon Rondo just celebrated his 21st birthday.
Although he has now shown that he is very indifferent to the fact that he is an undrafted player.
However, he knew it very well.
At least for now, he is far from letting go.
It would be an understatement to say that he is resentful.
There are 30 teams in the league.
There are a total of 60 draft spots in the two rounds.
In the end, he still lost.
In the end, the Bobcats, who had no draft picks, found him and gave him a chance.
"Those guys are all blind!"
Rajon Rondo complained more than once.
However, he couldn't help it.
Last draft.
The three best point guards among rookies.
Deron Williams, Chris Paul, and Raymond Felton.
All hope to join the Bobcats.
Although, after coming here, he will have to serve as a substitute for Zhou Yao.
Among them, Chris Paul was ridiculed for four years because of his relationship with Zhou Yao.
As a result, the Bobcats didn't choose them.
And last year.
The Bobcats don't have any draft picks.
He actually signed him who was undrafted.
Soon after entering the league.
He got a strange nickname, Xiao Zhou Yao.
Rondo himself is a point guard and is said to be like the number one point guard in the league.
It seems like something to be happy about.
However, he later realized that others were saying that he couldn't shoot well.
Just like Zhou Yao who just entered the league.
But Rondo also knows his problems.
Besides, he is just an undrafted player, so what right does he have to show anger and dissatisfaction?
Not to mention that it wasn't just Rajon Rondo who was looked down upon at that time.
The entire Bobcats team was looked down upon.
No one expected them to win the championship.
Some people even think it's difficult for them to even make the playoffs.
And now.
A total of 60 games have been played.
The Bobcats are already certain to enter the playoffs.
It is also the strongest team competing for the championship.
Rajon Rondo himself performed well.
Averaged about 20 minutes per game.
Averaged 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.2 blocks per game.
A spot for the All-Rookie Team can basically be determined.
Although there is a high probability that it is a second formation.
However, it is also very impressive for an undrafted player to be included in the All-Rookie second team.
The season isn't over yet.
If he can perform better next time.
It is also possible to enter for a while.
Of course, Rondo doesn't think he has a chance to compete with Brandon Roy for Rookie of the Year.
……
Game start.
Jazz point guard Deron Williams was the first to feel the pressure.
This season Coach Sloan began to put a burden on DeLonga.
More playing time.
The data also gets prettier.
Can't compare to Zhou Yao.
However, it is still easy to beat Rajon Rondo.
DeLong is taller, stronger, fast, and experienced.
He can crush his opponents in every aspect.
before the game starts.
The coach has told him that Zhou Yao must be forced out as soon as possible.
Zhou Yao is still his coach off the court, which shows that the Bobcats still have room for success.
The only way is to force Zhou Yao out.
The game is officially started.
In Deron's view.
He overwhelmed Rondo.
Iverson is definitely better than JR.
Even if Kirilenko is not as good as Peja, there is not much difference.
Boozer is also a better fit at power forward than Kenyon Martin.
Okur is at least younger than Mutombo.
Such a lineup.
The score should grow quickly.
Then Zhou Yao would be unable to sit still.
And before that.
On the one hand, we need to cut through the mess quickly.
On the other hand, you must also conserve your physical strength.
The real fierce battle begins after Zhou Yao appears.
Unexpectedly.
The game has just begun.
What he has to face is Rajon Rondo's airtight defense.
Maybe there is some discomfort.
Just dribbling the ball through half court.
I almost timed out.
"Pass the ball!"
Iverson's roar finally made Deron wake up.
The ball was passed.
Iverson also lived up to expectations and scored a layup.
But soon, Peja hit a three-pointer and achieved the lead.
In the next game, the score increased alternately.
Deron was playing very uncomfortable.
I have never seen such a stubborn opponent.
Throughout the first quarter, Deron had no chance to take action.
The only shot he made was one step inside the three-point line.
The result has not been put in yet.
The point is that JR got the rebound.
It is equivalent to giving the opponent an offensive opportunity in vain.
31: 26.
The Jazz are still ahead.
But not many are ahead.
At least, Zhou Yao was not forced out.
Zhou Yao didn't even take off his suit.
The big screen even played back footage of Zhou Yao chatting with the model sitting behind him.
"Is this guy so relaxed now?"
"When we were teammates."
"This guy often helps Collins with some ideas."
"And, according to Michael, when this guy was in high school, he would help his then-coach with ideas."
"The conscience of heaven and earth."
"Don't say in high school."
"Just getting into college."
"For us, we don't just do whatever the coach tells us to do."
"If we go against the coach's will even a little bit, he will tell us to get lost."
“Even scholarships might go to waste.”
"Now that I think about it, this guy might be better suited to be a coach than a player!"
"But, are all the new generation of head coaches like this?"
"Don't forget to pick up girls during the game!"
"You're embarrassing Coach Sloan by doing this!"
Zhou Yao hasn't played yet, but Barkley's big mouth still hasn't let him go.
As for whether Zhou Yao is really picking up girls.
That is a matter of opinion.
At the very least, Donald sitting in the box didn't believe it.
After all, Ivanka and two other little girls were also sitting among those models...
