The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 183 182. Tragedy Career (reward plus 3200 words)

As the two teams entered the arena, the entire Toyota Center Arena also booed the Magic hugely.

Although the two teams have no grievances or enmity, for the fans, this is also a way to cheer for the home team.

Taking advantage of the boos of the fans, try to put more pressure on the Magic team in the away game, so as to make their performance on the field a little abnormal.

Before the start of the game, both sides are warming up for shooting in their respective halfs, so as to enter the game state as soon as possible.

While the two sides were warming up for shooting, Su Jiu found Yao Ming of the Rockets on the sidelines.

The two have been communicating on the sidelines, talking and laughing so much that people can't help but want to hear what they are talking about.

"You have to be merciful in this game, you don't plan to put two water on me when you see me rushing in?!"

"You have to know how difficult it is for us to meet a compatriot in a foreign country, and your small act of kindness may be unforgettable for me forever, haha."

Hearing Su Jiu's non-stop teasing there, Yao Ming also felt very cordial. After all, it is really not easy to meet a compatriot in a foreign country.

"I don't think you need me to give you water, haha, I also hope that you will be merciful in this game. You have become famous recently."

"It's bad... it's all a false name, I never care about these messy things." Hearing Yao Ming's praise, Su Jiu's big mouth was almost grinning to the back of his ear, but he wanted to pretend to be very indifferent and didn't care about the false name.

It just looks as bad as it needs to be.

Yao Ming: "..."

"It seems that Su and Yao should have a good relationship in private. The two seem to be quite happy chatting on the sidelines. I just don't know if they can maintain this indifferent mood after the game starts."

The famous EPSN commentator Mark Woodson also subconsciously said when he saw Su Jiu and Yao Ming talking and laughing on the sidelines.

Partner Tom Horvath: "Yes, both of them can be said to be very popular basketball stars in China, so we also saw a lot of Chinese fans coming to cheer in this game."

"And the recent performances of these two people can be said to be very good, but I don't know who will have the last laugh in this game."

Before the start of the game, the two sides also announced their starting lineups:

Rockets:

Yao Ming, Scola, Artest, Vaughan Weaver, and Alston.

Magic:

Su Jiu, Pietrus, Lewis, Turkoglu, and Howard.

With the official start of the game, the two sides made a jump ball in the middle circle, and Yao Ming, who was even taller, got the ball first.

Mark Woodson: "Okay, then this game is also officially started. We can see that the Rockets got the ball first after the opening."

"For Dwight, the matchup with Yao in this game is also under great pressure. After all, Yao has always had the upper hand in the data of the previous confrontation between the two."

"In the regular season of last season, the Magic and the Rockets had two matches. In these two games, Yao averaged 19.5 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists per game."

"But Dwight only had 13.5 points, 12 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, so for Dwight and the Magic, this game is also a huge challenge."

At the moment when the game started, the familiar mechanical sound sounded in Su Jiu's mind again.

[Ding~It is detected that the host is in a competition, and random selection is being made for the host, please wait~]

[Ding~ The star experience card for this game has been drawn. Congratulations to the host for getting a DeMar DeRozan experience card for the 17-18 season. 】

[The experience card will be completely invalid after the end of the game, I wish the host a happy basketball~]

After learning that he got a DeRozan experience card in this game, Su Jiu didn't have an overly surprised expression on his face.

I am even quite satisfied with this lottery draw, at least DeRozan is much better than most players in the league.

The most important thing is that DeRozan, as the last classical shooting guard in the small ball era of later generations, his style of play can be said to be a perfect fit for today's era.

It's just that DeRozan's personal career can be described as a bit sad. He dedicated all his best years to the Raptors, but in the end he became a big bargaining chip for the Raptors on the way to the championship.

During the years when James was still in the Cavaliers, DeRozan was very depressed. Even if he led the team to the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference, he still couldn't climb the mountain of James in the playoffs.

It was even rumored that DeRozan had suffered from very severe depression.

In this case, even though DeRozan once averaged 27 points per game in the season, he finally became a big bargaining chip in the deal with the Spurs.

The saddest thing is that in the first season after DeRozan was traded to the Spurs, as a bargaining chip to be traded, Leonard directly led the Raptors to defeat the Warriors with a total score of 4:2 and successfully won the championship trophy that year.

At the same time, this trophy is also the first championship trophy in the history of the Raptors.

The moment they saw the Raptors holding up the championship trophy, people saw desolation and envy in DeRozan's eyes, but more of it was the helplessness hidden in their hearts.

Many fans in later generations have felt dissatisfied with DeRozan, and even bluntly praised it on the Internet:

"Relying on the Raptors' lineup that season and the injuries suffered by the Warriors, even if DeRozan is not traded to leave the team in the end, he can still lead the Raptors to the championship."

But after all, the facts have happened, and people can only feel sad for DeRozan in their hearts. Whether this assumption can come true is actually not important.

Sadly, DeRozan had no idea he had become a bargaining chip for the Raptors until he was traded away.

Even when he suddenly learned that he was going to be traded to the Spurs, DeRozan did not have any communication with the management. Instead, he threw himself into the training hall and started endless training.

I closed myself in a narrow space and didn't want to communicate with anyone.

At that time, the relationship between Lowry and DeRozan, the second leader of the Raptors, was very friendly.

After DeRozan was traded away, even before the start of each game, Lowry would face the air with a set of motivational actions that he had to do with DeRozan before the game.

This scene once made countless fans cry, and it also made more fans pay attention to DeRozan, a tragic hero.

In this way, DeRozan, who has been carrying one of the garbage brothers on his back, finally went to the holy city and became the new standard bearer of the Spurs.

DeRozan, who has always been silent, has also worked hard to integrate himself into the new team system after he came to the Spurs, and gradually changed his style of play on the court.

In that season, DeRozan reduced the number of shots he took on the court and increased the passing cooperation with his teammates.

Faced with all this, DeRozan has no complaints, because in his heart, as long as he can win, he is willing to pay any price! !

In the end, in that unfinished season, DeRozan averaged a season-high 6.1 assists per game, which can be said to have completed a very successful transformation.

He gave up on scoring offensively and increased his passing on the court.

You know, when the boy whose idol is Kobe is willing to give up his shots on the offensive end, how painful the process will be.

But unlike Kobe, DeRozan is more willing to trust his teammates, and he is willing to give up more in order to win.

He doesn't care who is the boss of the team between himself and Aldridge, as long as he can win, then he is willing to give up all this false fame.

It's just a pity that it seems that DeRozan's tragic career is far from over. Even so, the Spurs were still rejected from the playoffs that season.

Even halfway through the season, there was no hope of hitting the playoffs, which also made the outside world start a new round of criticism of DeRozan.

Some people say that DeRozan is not suitable to be the head star of a team, and others say that DeRozan is only suitable to be a player with thighs, because he is an out-and-out "garbage".

In the face of all this, we don't know whether DeRozan once cried alone in the dark night.

But what we know is that DeRozan has never responded to these questions in front of the media, nor has he ever explained the abuse from the fans.

He just put himself into training, put on two headphones as if to completely isolate himself from the world.

It's hard for you to imagine that when the star of a team is about to expire, what the outside world is talking about is not whether he will renew his contract with the team, but the feeling of hoping that the team will not sign him and let him go as soon as possible.

Facing such remarks that stabbed his heart like a knife, DeRozan just smiled, and finally turned around and continued to invest on the court.

It is such a star who has almost no sense of presence in front of the media. The moment he learned of Kobe's death, he shed tears...

And this time crying is also the first time DeRozan cried in front of the media. Even though he was rejected by James many times in the finals and was dubbed the garbage brother many times, he never shed a single tear.

That day, DeRozan cried like a child. No one knew how much pain he felt in his heart, and no one knew what Kobe's departure meant to his career.

And what is left to people seems to be only the sad scene when DeRozan was full of tears and choked up crying...

Unknowingly, Su Jiu on the field felt that his face was a little wet, and Su Jiu, who was relieved, realized that he seemed to have plunged into a world of sadness at that moment.

Watched DeRozan's tragic career from the perspective of God.

Gradually slowing down, Su Jiu also gently wiped away the hidden tears in the corners of his eyes with his hands, then took a deep breath, and said in that slightly choked but extremely firm voice:

"People who like you say that you were born in the wrong era, and those who don't like you say that you are "garbage" in any era, so today, let me complete the rectification of your name..."

"I swear!!"

　Hey, DeRozan, the last classic shooting guard in the league who is still sticking to his heart, may DeRozan's career not be sad...

　　"

　　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, please everyone! !
