Chapter 1,146 The City of Seattle Is Still Peaceful!
After Nelson finally found the fifth core player in his five-small lineup after digging three feet into the SuperSonics, everyone in the Seattle SuperSonics was shocked and silent about this fifth core player.
Even Nelson was silent.
In the past, when he was digging three feet into the ground, when the whole world was scolding him, he would counterattack humorously.
After that, he, like his apprentice Popovich, no matter how vicious and unpleasant the voices facing him outside were, he never had the so-called humorous counterattack.
He has not given any interviews since then.
It was as if the whole person had accepted these people's evaluations of him.
It seems that he has accepted his fate like his apprentice Popovich, who is an Alzheimer's disease.
A player has been buried in a team. Is this because of the player or because of the coach or the team?
This requires detailed analysis of specific issues.
If this player is the kind of player who is as smart as James, there may still be a conspiracy about this player.
But if that person is Leonard, there's no question that it's not the player's responsibility.
It is the responsibility of the coach and the team.
Just like Ye Si wouldn't believe that his youngest and most vulnerable apprentice was a highly intelligent person like James, not only Ye Si didn't believe it, but other Sonics players also wouldn't believe it.
They had watched Leonard grow up.
It can be said that they know very well what kind of person Leonard is.
Local Seattle fans, Garfield High School fans, and University of Washington fans all call him "cutie."
This is not only because his name Kawhi is transliterated as kawaii, which means cute in Japanese. In addition, Leonard’s character is also very shy, very quiet, very fragile, and very shy. You can tell by looking at him that he has the character of a cute and honest person who is harmless to humans and animals, has no desires and desires, and does not fight or steal.
Whether Leonard is at Garfield High School, the University of Washington or the Seattle SuperSonics, there is almost no game that will drag the team back, and there is no such thing as James Harden and other players. , will not disappoint the team or the fans, and will not pose any threat to teammates.
Such a shy, quiet, shy player who is as uncontested as anyone can be called a cutie on the court.
Therefore, regarding Leonard's existence, whether he was a player at Garfield High School or a player at the University of Washington, or a player with the current Seattle SuperSonics, everyone is very tolerant of Leonard, even to the point of ignoring him.
Not that strong, not that weak, just ordinary, plus it doesn't pose a threat to myself. Isn't this just a little cute and transparent?
But now, after his strength was discovered by Nelson.
Old Nelson felt uncomfortable.
If Ingalls hides deeply, everyone feels that Ingalls has the feeling of a big boss. Even Ingalls himself feels that he has the feeling of a big boss.
But Leonard hides it so deeply.
But no one thinks Leonard is like a big boss.
Nelson even blamed himself for Leonard's hiding of his strength all these years.
Because hidden strength is Leonard’s personality!
His character is one that can hide his strength!
A player who is unwilling to cause trouble to others, who is timid, cowardly, fragile, shy, quiet, and shy, no matter how strong he is, does not want to become a big devil who dominates the world or a big hero who saves the world. Even if such a player is capable, the first thing that comes to mind is not to cause trouble to others, does not want to expose himself, does not want to break his comfort zone, and does not want to become the focus of others.
Therefore, when the team needs it, he can do everything and will not hinder the team, but he will not be conspicuous.
Because Leonard is insecure from the bottom of his heart.
As the head coach, he did not make Leonard feel safe. This was of course a dereliction of duty on his part.
Not only did they not let Leonard feel safe being exposed in the spotlight, but they also failed to notice that Leonard was so strong. This was even more of a dereliction of duty.
After Leonard's strength was discovered, it was not just Nelson who blamed himself.
Even Ye Si was very accusatory.
Naturally, his disciple's strength was not achieved overnight.
He must have been very strong before participating in the draft.
With such strength, he actually didn't think about flying away like Bradley and the others, but stayed in obscurity on the bench of the Seattle SuperSonics for three full years.
If Nelson hadn't dug deep into the team's potential, he would have remained in such obscurity.
He thought he already knew his distressed and extremely fragile disciple very well.
But his apprentice is really more fragile, more shy, and more afraid of changes in the environment than he imagined.
This made Ye Si feel a little heavy.
He had always thought that the protective film Leonard was wrapped around was made of plastic, or at best spider silk. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a diamond cover, as airtight as a turtle shell.
Leonard's psychological problems are so big, it really makes Ye Si uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after Bill Gates and Bezos hired the best psychiatrist in the United States to see Leonard, they felt that Leonard’s problem was not big. His fear of society, vulnerability to the environment, and his character His shyness, timidity, and shyness did not make him depressed. There was still sunshine and hope in his heart.
This also makes people like Yes and Nelson who are worried about Leonard feel a lot more relaxed.
After the preseason, other teams across the NBA have entered into intense preparations for the regular season.
Only the Sonics are discussing Leonard these days.
To be honest, it is really shocking that such a weird player appears in the NBA.
Even Rondo was stunned.
In the Seattle SuperSonics training tube, Rondo, who has been massaging Milicic behind him, has his eyes on Leonard, who is now being cared about by everyone and has a shy smile on his face.
The second master is considered to have countless followers in the entire league.
What kind of people have you not seen?
Whether it was someone as vicious as Du Shiwu, an extremely pure white lotus like Yes, or any number of strange people he had seen, he had never thought that there were players like Leonard in the world.
Now Leonard is the focal point of the Seattle SuperSonics.
Not only Rondo is paying attention to Leonard, but the team's second-in-command is also paying attention to Leonard.
Of course, he and the rest of the team looked at Leonard with different sympathy.
He looked at Leonard with eyes filled with scrutiny.
He is a person with a sensitive constitution beyond ordinary people.
And it's a mental sensitivity, which is different from James Harden's physical sensitivity.
He discovered a long time ago that this boy was not simple.
When Leonard looked at him, the look in his eyes made him quite concerned.
As the king of team fights of the Sonics, he is not afraid of anyone's challenge, whether it is Rondo or other people on the team, he is able to obey him.
Even if he is not a player of the team, even if Beasley has paid off the money now, he is still being treated by him and he will continue to be a saint.
Being worshiped like a saint can be addictive.
He felt that his understanding of human nature had reached a very high level.
Therefore, after unexpectedly seeing Leonard's look, he didn't worry about anything.
Just come here and see who will have the last laugh in the Seattle SuperSonics.
He had thought that Leonard would challenge his status in many ways.
But he really never thought that Leonard would be so tolerant!
Even when his strength was exposed, he didn't expose it on his own initiative, but was dug out by Nelson.
This is interesting.
This means that his image of being fragile, timid, harmless to humans and animals, and uncontested has been completely established.
You know, he has been waiting for Leonard to reveal his strength.
He kept asking Leonard to challenge him, and kept asking Leonard to practice with him, just hoping that Leonard would be unable to bear it any longer.
In this case, Leonard has no way to explain why he did not try his best when he led the team in the past three years.
By then, all of his persona will collapse because of his proactive attack.
He will not have Yes's heart-warming protection on him.
However, I don't know if this kid is too tolerant or too smart, but he didn't expose it at all, and he almost believed that he was indeed a player without much strength.
He can be sure that this time when Nelson was tapping the team's potential, Leonard took advantage of the situation and let Nelson see his strength.
In this way, not only can you continue to maintain your own personality, but you can also start to attack him.
When Leonard continues to maintain the "cute" persona, he is invincible.
Simply invincible.
As long as he takes action, others will have no way to take action against him.
If he takes the initiative and is slightly manipulated by Leonard, that's...
"You don't even let go of such a reclusive person, Kevin Durant. Are you too jealous and too small-minded?!"
By the time……
Hum!
Durant's eyes narrowed and he looked away from Leonard.
There is no doubt that this is the most powerful opponent he has encountered in so many years with the Sonics.
However, he is not afraid!
Durant didn't believe that this kid had set up such a persona willingly over the years.
If it weren't for his own strength being stronger than him, this kid might have taken action long ago.
If you can overpower Kevin Durant with his strength, why bother using such methods to compete for the second place position on the team?
In other words, in his heart, as long as he still maintains such a personality, it means that he is still unsure of his own strength.
When he competes with himself, he still focuses on self-preservation.
This kind of personality is used for defense, and it can only be used for defense.
As soon as he attacks, his invincible defensive persona collapses.
This kid is enduring and waiting for the day when his strength will surpass mine!
I don't believe your strength is only a board value of 1.6.
Do you think my board value is only 1.8?
If it gives me a sense of urgency and a sense of urgency to catch up step by step, will it make me act stupid like Jordan, and end up betraying everyone with a beating?
You've calculated well, even if you can't surpass me in strength in the future, you can still use this method to make me take the initiative, and finally defeat Yes and the Supersonics and drive me out.
But do you think you can do it?
I'm not a 250-year-old like Jordan. If you want the second-best position in my body, yes, you can surpass me in strength!
Conspiracy?
I have never lost!
"Isn't it just a competition?"
hehe.
I give you a method to eliminate doubts, and you don’t need to drill turtles and Zhu Ping.
It takes three days to test the jade, and seven years to identify the material.
Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.
Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the authenticity of his life?
If someone like me still makes the mistake of a prince and loses, then I deserve it.
The sound of Durant's shot clearing the net kept ringing in the training hall.
The crisp sound is intoxicating.
It's just that Leonard's peripheral vision didn't show the slightest hint of intoxication when he saw those shots that were as flawless as Xiao Li's flying knives.
Durant doesn't believe that his board value is only 1.6, how could he believe that Durant's board value is only 1.8?
If he wasn't afraid of Durant's strength, how could he wrap himself up so tightly?
After he took advantage of the situation to reveal his strength, he has been observing Durant's emotions.
In the past three years in the SuperSonics, he has always wanted to overwhelm Durant in terms of strength, but every time he can feel the huge gap between him and Durant.
Therefore, he had the most difficult time estimating the time it would take to overwhelm Durant in terms of strength.
Since you can't use your strength to overwhelm Durant, you should protect yourself and let Durant make mistakes.
But after Durant deliberately showed his ability to advance step by step, he didn't feel confused at all.
There was really no mess at all, which made Leonard incredible.
Is he too confident in his own strength and thinks he can't be surpassed by me, or am I overthinking and he is actually not that smart and doesn't even notice my progress?
Leonard kept making calculations in his mind.
When Leonard turned his attention to Durant, James Harden on the other side kept standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips looking at Leonard.
Leonard's board value tested by Nelson was 1.6, which was higher than his 1.5. This put a lot of pressure on him.
Of course his board value is more than 1.5, but...
This guy's plank value is actually 1.6? !
This cute little girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually has such a high board value.
This is just a matter of silence. If he does, he will steal his position as the third leader of the team!
Public opinion about the Seattle SuperSonics has been overwhelming, and the Cavaliers have even directly changed the process for awarding championship rings.
But within the SuperSonics team, whether it is Yee, Durant, Leonard, James Harden, Antetokounmpo and others, they don't feel the same at all.
It still feels as calm as the Pacific Ocean here.
This made Wang Han and many Chinese reporters feel quite incredible.
"The Seattle SuperSonics are still so peaceful today!"
"There is no way. The SuperSonics players and teammates around Ye Si are really a group of very, very simple and quiet good players."
