Chapter 969: 316: When You Are Someone Else’s Spiritual Support (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)_4

"God, what the hell is wrong with you!? "

Hubie Brown is definitely not a kind old man; a kind coach could never create a defensive team.

A high school superstar enters the NBA only to be constantly berated by the coach, and this huge contrast is enough to destroy the confidence of a 19-year-old kid.

Roger was initially worried about this too; he didn’t want to train Stoudemire into another Kwame Brown.

But Stoudemire’s response to these criticisms amazed Roger. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Yes, sir!"

"Sir, I will try my best to do better!"

"I remember it, I remember it!"

His confidence was completely unaffected, and he continued to train hard every day to do his best.

He was almost unlike the Amar’e Stoudemire that Roger had in mind.

On one day after practice, Stoudemire routinely accepted interviews in the locker room.

A reporter asked him, "How big is the difference between high school basketball and the NBA?"

Stoudemire thought for a moment, seeming to search for words to describe the gap, but he failed.

In the end, he could only say this.

"You know, my stats in high school were pretty good. But in the NBA, I feel like I’m just a toddler. It’s really hard to adapt here, it’s very challenging.

But I need to make money to send my brother to school, I promised my siblings to let them live a good life, I want to buy a farm for my mom.

And I’m playing next to the greatest player in history, playing alongside Roger has always been my dream.

No matter what, I have to cherish it. Because if I give up, I lose the chance to become a legend.

When I can’t take it, when I feel like I’m about to give up, I always tell myself: Amar’e, keep your head up."

After saying this, Stoudemire glanced at Roger surrounded by reporters.

Stoudemire’s locker was right next to Roger’s, so Roger could actually hear his answers.

Why is this Stoudemire completely different from the impression? Because Roger underestimated the changes his nine-year career in the league brought to the world.

He didn’t just win seven championships; he unknowingly became an idol to countless people.

When a kid has a spiritual pillar, they become fearless.

Roger knew he didn’t need to worry about Stoudemire anymore.

That afternoon, Roger was in a good mood and spontaneously announced he would treat the whole team to dinner.

An invitation from a superstar wouldn’t be refused by anyone.

During the meal, Stephen Jackson asked Roger, "What’s got you so happy? Got a new girlfriend? How old? Measurements? Can she do splits?"

"No," Roger waved his hand, "I just feel that our championship cycle has shortened again."

"The boss said five years, do you have confidence to reclaim the throne within four?"

"No Stephen, within three years! Two years to grow and mesh, the third year we will win it all!"

Days at the training camp passed one by one, and the preseason soon arrived.

During the preseason, the Warriors tried many lineup combinations, but due to lack of cohesion, their record was average, 3 wins and 3 losses.

Gilbert Arenas, on the other hand, shone brightly in the preseason. As a sophomore, he received a lot of playing time in the preseason, averaging 27.6 points in six games!

Furthermore, Arenas scored 40 points in a game against the Phoenix Suns!

Although it was only preseason, Arenas’s strong performance rekindled the topic’s heat.

Was trading him away a wise decision by the Warriors?

Did Roger make the same mistake as Michael Jordan?

Is there a chance he unintentionally caused himself a huge trouble?

Gilbert Arenas, confident as ever, stated in an interview the day before the opening game: "Tomorrow, the era will officially change!"

Before the game started the next day, Roger made a request to Hubie Brown: "I want to personally guard Gilbert."

"Roger, there’s no need, the Rockets can’t threaten us."

"I know, but I want not just to win; I want to teach that idiot a lesson. Gilbert often says he’s a zero, right? Well, tonight I will give him more zeros."

Hubie Brown swallowed, wait a minute, is Roger, already so accomplished, really going to take issue with a rookie?

Well, maybe this is what competitiveness in a superstar looks like.

"How do you plan to show him that he’s a zero? By crushing him?" Hubie Brown knew he couldn’t refuse Roger.

"Just let him know in the literal sense that he’s a zero, he likes zero, so I will give him more zeros!"
