1068. Role Players Are Not Easy (Part 2)

Although I know that Prince has a cold personality, this is also too cold!

In the clash between the Pistons and the Nets last season, as long as the players on the court were entangled with each other, Prince was the only one who sat silently on the technical table and did not participate.

This kind of thing, Sun Ce saw from the news, it happened two or three times, the Auburn Hills palace incident that year, Prince was also quiet as a little prince, watching teammates and opponents clash, fight,

But the strange thing is that Prince's relationship with his teammates does not affect his relationship with his teammates, but has a very good relationship with the two fiery teammates of the double Wallace.

Even Prince Key of the Pistons is very close to Prince, and Hamilton has a good relationship with Prince.

Now that it was only the first time he had contact with Prince as a teammate, Sun Ce understood why.

Even if there is a clash in the first preseason game against Real Madrid in a few days, and Prince does not come to help, Sun Ce will not be surprised.

Because this guy really doesn't like fighting from the bottom of his heart, and his personality is cold from the inside out.

Sun Ce felt that he had another wonderful teammate...... But it's good enough, and Prince is very polite, with a cold personality but can't be said to have a bad character.

Teacher Tony didn't want to deal with Sun Ce, and an experienced veteran teammate came, and Teacher Tony was also humbly asking for advice.

Sun Ce left the lounge sadly, and happened to meet Robin Lopez who was returning to the lounge.

Little Lopez gave Sun Ce a warm hug: "Hey, lord, you're finally back, it's great to be able to partner with you, do you remember the two empty catches you passed to me in the first game......"

The two have known each other for a long time, although they didn't communicate much later, at most they gave a high-five hug before the game, but Lopets Jr. is a self-acquaintance, and there are two old teammates, Nash and Sun Ce, who are familiar with other teammates as soon as they come to the team.

"I didn't expect us to bring you back, but your inside mates are very strong, and you'll have to work harder."

"Of course, although I can't compare to you, I still train hard, and I just want to win the championship, so you don't have to worry about my playing time, I'll fight for it myself."

After chatting with an old friend who had just entered the NBA, Lopez Jr. went about his own business.

Lopets Jr. is as enthusiastic and positive as ever, Sun Ce's impression of Lopets Jr. has always been very good, and he feels blessed to have such a teammate who is full of energy and willing to do dirty work and does not complain.

However, Sun Ce felt that he was idle and no one cared about him!

Everyone has something to do, Sun Ce went to find another teammate, and when he passed by the training ground, Sun Ce saw a new teammate that he had forgotten...... Jay Crowder!

And Claude and Jimmy Butler train together, and it's still Jimmy Butler who coaches each other!

Sun Ce went up and hooked Jimmy Butler's shoulder: "Little Jimmy, long time no see...... Hello, Jie, I'm Sun Ce, just call me Noah. ”

Little Jimmy...... Jimmy Butler has become numb to the title: "Long time no see. ”

He stressed many times that he was three months older than Sun Ce, but Sun Ce ignored his emphasis, and over time, this address Jimmy Butler also got used to it.

Sun Ce was pleased that Jimmy Butler recognized the title, but Claude surprised Sun Ce.

Sun Ce came to say hello, but Claude stretched out his hand and shook Sun Ce with a very cramped look: "Hello, lord, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"......" Sun Ce stared at Claude...... Is this the guy with a hot personality in the impression and went from one to four in the small-ball era?

As the best defensive player in the Great Eastern Division and a first-team player selected by the Associated Press as a second-team player in the United States, he is 22 years old, that is, his combat power should be okay, but he was not rated high in the draft, just because he was a thorn in the head in college.

Does this still look a little prickly?

Leaving it alone, Sun Ce asked Jimmy Butler, "What were you guys talking about?" ”

"Jay asked me how I could get playing time." Jimmy Butler replied honestly.

"......" Sun Ce was speechless, who is not good to ask Jimmy's little brother?

This guy can't get playing time himself, but Nash and Battier may have more rests this season, so Jimmy should be able to play more.

Before Sun Ce could continue to ask questions, Jimmy Butler continued: "From my observations, I think we have to be unique if we want to fight for playing time! ”

This made Sun Ce interested, and he took a look at Jimmy Butler's ability evaluation.

"Jimmy Butler, Ability Evaluation C+, Offensive C, Defense B, Three-point C-, Mid-range B-, Layup B+......"

CIC has made progress so fast!

This guy has spent the past year in crazy practice! It's already at the quasi-good level, but the three-point improvement is not so great.

Of course, the quasi-good level is not good, but at least it is much better than Sun Ce's impression of the sophomore who only knows how to use his body to cut or rush to attack rebounds, and only relies on vitality to play.

Jimmy Butler is a player with a thick hairstyle, and the foundation is very important, and after the foundation is laid, it can get better and better.

And then there's the defense, which is already at a good level! It's not like this time last year when Jimmy Butler doesn't know anything, not even how to defend with his body, he only knows how to fight.

If you change to a regular playoff team or a non-playoff team, Jimmy Butler already has the strength to be used as a rotation! For example, Sun Ce's old teammate CJ Watson is not worried about losing his job.

However, in their Grizzlies, it is still not enough, and they need to work hard to gain playing time.

Jimmy Butler continued when Sun Ce observed his ability evaluation: "When Sean taught me, I found that I was not suitable for his style of play, more suitable for mid-range shooting + defensive play, so I was working mid-range shooting and defense, and Jay was more like Klay ......"

Listening to Jimmy's analysis, Sun Ce didn't expect this guy who looked like a wooden head to think so much!

Jimmy's little brother is going to incarnate the rhythm of Tony's teacher!

Although the mid-range shot is average, and the defense is okay, the direction of this progress is very clear, and if the three-point development can't be developed, the mid-range shot will be developed!

People are forced out! Sun Ce once again felt the difficulty of role players...... Although he didn't feel it.

The direction of improvement of players is based on the needs of the team, Jimmy's brother has grown into an all-round player in the Bulls because Rose was played by Thibodeau, and the Bulls need an outside core, but in the Grizzlies, it is obviously Thompson and George's type who are easier to get shots, and in order to get more opportunities, Jimmy is trying to adapt to the team, and it has been very successful!

I was very satisfied with Jimmy's progress, but Sun Ce looked at Claude who kept nodding next to him, what is the situation with this guy?
