Chapter 409: Jimmy Butler (4/4!) )

The game is like playing chess.

Between Don Tian and Carlisle.

The Mavericks are a little weaker than the Cavaliers, and now they have been robbed one after another, and Carlisle's control of the game is becoming more and more weak.

At 117-102, the Cavaliers beat the Mavericks by 15 points at home and took a 2-0 lead in the Finals.

Paul continued to play efficiently, contributing 30 points, 9 assists and 3 steals.

Yao Ming scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and James also scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

On the Mavericks' side, Nowitzki still played averagely, scoring 19 points and 9 rebounds on 6-of-22 shooting.

The two big battles, the fans are also addicted to watching, and the coach's arrangement and-for-tat on the field are simply textbook-like.

When the Cavaliers formed the Big Three, many fans ridiculed my grandmother for leading the team to win the championship, but when it really reached the playoffs, when the opponent became stronger and stronger, this idea was completely abandoned by them.

And with the comparison of the Celtics' Big Three, the roles of Tang Tian and Reaves are also superior.

The role of the players is important, but the ability of the coach is also indispensable!

The first two games of the series ended with the next game moving to Dallas, and the two sides also had a rare three-day break.

The Cavaliers won't go to Dallas until after a day of training in Cleveland, but Don has Kassel in charge of this day's training, and he and Casey go straight to the small arena next door.

The finals are not over yet, but the tryouts for rookies are in full swing.

Because of his ability to open the eyes of the sky, Tang Tian basically wouldn't have participated in these rounds before, but this year he specially asked the team to invite a player he liked very much.

Jimmy Butler.

Butler is a model of inspirational players in the NBA, but for Tang Tian, there is another special meaning that he has seen stories about Butler in his previous life.

The former Rockets had an unrivaled popularity in China, and even some Houston local players would enter the Chinese media's field of vision.

Including "Nine-Finger Dunk King" Gerard Green, "Mr. Billion" Lewis and so on.

There are also some that many people don't know about, like Jimmy Butler.

Butler was born in Damball, a suburb of Houston, and like many poor black Americans, he was born abandoned by his father along with his mother.

And that's not the worst of it, his mother kicked him out of the house at the age of 13, simply because she didn't like Butler's looks.

Then Butler became a vagabond, sleeping at a friend's house with a cheeky face, and even sleeping under someone else's roof when he couldn't stay any longer.

The most likely outcome is to finish high school and then go from being a homeless child to a homeless person.

But in the midst of desperation, he found hope to change his life, basketball.

He trained like crazy, and then gradually showed his talent and became a potential star player for Dombal.

Then, he met a friend who changed his life, Jordan Leslie, who was only a year older than him.

He then joined Leslie's family and was expected to be a role model for the other children, and it was the almost strict demands that allowed him to grow up and mature quickly.

He averaged 19 points and 8 rebounds per game in his senior year and was named the MVP of the season at Donbar High School.

Because he was not well-known in high school, he was not even recruited by a popular college after graduation, and finally had to join Taylor Youth Academy in Texas, a university with no name.

But he was still extremely strict with himself, and as a result, in his sophomore year, he received an invitation from Marquette University.

In his sophomore year, he averaged only 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game as a substitute.

It doesn't matter, this situation has made him train harder than before.

As a result, he became the school's main small forward in his junior year, averaging 14.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and helped Marquette reach the NCAA National Championship.

By his senior year, his points had risen to 15.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists, and he had helped his team reach the Sweet 16.

"He's 22 years old, his physical talent looks average, and his shooting isn't consistent." As he went to the arena, Casey said on the side that he was in charge of the rookie tryout.

Tang Tian nodded and didn't speak.

It's called inspirational because, like Butler's story before he entered the NBA, this is a player who can keep improving.

At this time, although he was emerging in the NCAA, he looked really ordinary.

Of course, if it weren't for that, the Cavaliers wouldn't have had a chance to select him, and there would be no need to invite him to a tryout.

They're in the arena, and the rookies who come to try out are almost there.

Marshon Brooks, Jordan Hamilton, Taylor Hornett, Corey Joseph......

These are all predictions of players who will be selected at the end of the first round.

Tang Tian came in, and the rookies were a little nervous and excited.

Standing in front of them is the godfather of the dynasty who has won four championship rings, started the Rocket dynasty, and is creating the Knights dynasty.

"Let's do basic training first."

He came in and sat down to observe.

Prior to this, the rookies had already participated in joint trials, and the first-hand information was basically already available.

Individual tryouts are to get to know them better on the basis of what has been done before.

Three-point shooting, Brooks and Joseph were both outstanding.

Bouncing these basic physical qualities, Hamilton is the most prominent.

After that, there is also a one-on-one confrontation between rookies.

Marshon Brooks blew up almost everyone.

That includes Jimmy Butler.

"He looks really ordinary." After Casey watched the first half of the trial, he still couldn't help but want to complain, and he didn't know how Tang Tian could look at such a rookie differently.

"Go and call Aaron." Tang Tian said to Casey after reading it.

After a while, Iverson arrived at the training gym.

Iverson's sudden appearance made those rookies more and more nervous and excited.

It's a legend.

"Brooks, Hamilton, Joseph, Butler, you guys and Ai one-on-one, three balls." Tang Tian then said.

The four people named were surprised, but they were also excited.

Brooks was the first to go up, and he was the first to attack.

The first ball could have been nervous and he dribbled straight out of bounds.

However, after the adjustment, he still played back and forth with Iverson.

3-2, in the end it was Iverson who won.

"This Brooks' scoring ability is really good." Casey was a little greedy after reading it.

Brooks was followed by Hamilton and Joseph.

Iverson didn't spare his hands after he got hot, and both of them were shaved off one after the other.

In terms of combat power, they are still a big step behind Brooks.

Casey was more fond of Brooks at this time.

"I don't think we're going to pick him, we're going to have to find a way to trade up for picks." Casey said, looking at Brooks.

"yes, we're going to have to trade draft picks up." Tang Tian nodded, but his gaze was straight at Butler.
