Chapter 891: Stay Alive! (a)
When the annual offseason comes, there will be similar discussions on basketball forums at home and abroad.
"Who are the players in the league that you have seen blindly?"
Similar expressions can be changed to "those future stars who fail to meet people's expectations" and so on, but the general meaning is the same, that is, in the NBA league, there are always some players who are talented when they are young, a head above their peers, and proud of the others.
But when they entered the professional league, because of injuries, because of attitude, because of career ups and downs, etc., these players finally failed to reach the height that everyone expected, and even disappeared from everyone.
And in almost every similar post, someone must have come up with a name:
Michael Beasley.
"Whew......!"
The free throw line received Gu Yu's return pass, Beasley's spirit was unprecedentedly concentrated, and he raised the ball with both hands, and his natural left-handed advantage allowed him to have some lateral space and successfully shoot in the face of Chen Mu's crazy counterattack.
At this moment, Michael Beasley's mind, which was not a long life, flashed quickly.
Once upon a time, he was also the pride of the sky, the superstar that the United States was looking forward to. His high school and college careers have been compared by many to stars of Carmelo Anthony's level.
But in the end, he ended up here.
In a garbage dog team that has just undergone a major change before the start of the season, no matter any expert is optimistic about it, it is not yet possible to play the main team.
If there is a hierarchy among the garbage dogs, then Michael Beasley is probably the lowest of them.
Why?
"Huh!"
“NIIIIIIIIIIIICE——!!!”
When the basketball went to the net, Beasley's face didn't show the cynical smile that he usually wears.
Gu Yu, who was not far away, ran with cheers, stretched out his hand and high-fived Beasley, shouting excitedly, asking everyone to pay attention and defend well.
Beasley listened to these words and instructions, but did not penetrate his head.
He was still thinking about that question.
Why?
"Why did my Michael Beasley's life fall to such a point??"
"Beautiful!"
On the side of the commentary table, Yoga shouted, nodded and said: "Beasley's shot is really resolute, Chen Mu pounced, but when the opportunity arises, he should throw it, this is the confidence that a scorer should have!" ”
"That's right." Director Zhang also nodded and said: "Beasley, this player, he has this ability, but his mentality is always not well adjusted, he picks at every turn, fights with teammates, talks nonsense at the press conference, and delays himself." ”
"I heard that Beasley started in high school because he played too easily and didn't have a challenge, so he didn't pay much attention to training." Yoga said the gossip that I didn't know where I heard: "I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"True or not, Beasley just didn't live up to his talent." Director Zhang said with a regretful face: "With his physical fitness, his ball sense and technical maturity, it is like playing with 20 points per game in the NBA." But whether it's in the Heat, other teams, or now the Kings, his ambition on the court is always not enough. At this point, he had to study hard with his cousin. ”
"That's true." Yoga nodded: "But Beasley's biggest problem is not on the offensive end, you look at the way he is now, the Kings are injured in the regular season, and Beasley has a lot more playing time, and he can score 13 to 15 points per game." Considering that he is in the same team as his cousin and Wei Shao, this firepower output contribution is enough. ”
"But defensively, Beasley has a very big problem. He can swing in the third or fourth position, and his physical fitness is very strong. But he couldn't grab a few rebounds, and when he was defending, he was always distracted, and he was easily passed. The data of blocks and steals are not good, and if it weren't for this offense, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to play in the Kings. ”
On the court, the Kings defended, and after Philadelphia advanced through the halfcourt, Curry and Iguodala cooperated, and the basketball passed to the right three-point line, while Butler near the baseline quickly cut along the baseline and took away the defense.
Chen Mu, one side is empty.
"Whoosh!"
There could be no mistakes in the coordination between Iguodala and Chen Mu, the basketball passed smoothly to Chen Mu's hands, behind which was Beasley's defense, and Chen Mu knew that the opportunity to play alone came.
After so many years in the league, Chen Mu and Beasley have also known each other for a long time, and they will play a few games every year. Almost every time Chen Mu ran into Beasley, he could explode wildly.
The reason is simple, Beasley's defense is so careless that a feint can fly, and a single acceleration can pass. However, Chen Mu's two skills are the top among interior players, and playing Beasley is as easy as beating his son.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Dribbling with his back, Chen Mu paid attention to whether Gu Yu would come to the bag at any time, and his eyes even glanced directly at the weak side, paying attention to Gu Yu's movements.
As for Beasley behind him, Chen Mu didn't pay attention to it at all.
"No bag clips! The king seems to have a bit of a communication problem on the defensive end, my cousin thought that George would go to the bag, George didn't go over, Chen Mu was one-on-one!! ”
On the sideline commentary platform, the commentators all saw the problems, and of course Chen Mu was also clear in his heart. Seeing that after Gu Yu and George communicated, he hurriedly stepped forward to try to wrap up, and immediately turned around in a storm and went to the inner line.
Power suppression, Chen Mu is an orthodox inside line after all, and it is very easy to run over Beasley. Turning around and starting his hand, Chen Mu faced the basket, took the ball up with one hand, and prepared a hook hand to solve the battle.
At this moment, Chen Mu clearly heard a tiger roar.
“…… Rub! ”
Michael Beasley!
"Smack!"
Beasley's eyes were so tough that fans who knew him well were a little surprised, they had never seen Beasley look like this.
Reaching out and stabbing the side of the basketball, Beasley's whole person flew directly horizontally, and rushed out like a hungry tiger.
This......?!
Chen Mu was startled, and the amazing reflex nerve made him react immediately, and he took the ball off the first step and regained control of it in his hands.
It's dangerous!
The Philadelphia fans on the sidelines were shocked into a cold sweat, this kind of singles opportunity, Chen Mu usually has his hands on it, and Beasley and the like are not a problem at all.
But Beasley's crazy move just now was a bit unexpected, making Chen Mudu almost overturn in the gutter, and people would of course be a little surprised and afraid.
However, Beasley's steal failure also gave Chen Mu a better opportunity to attack the basket, and he turned around again, Chen Mu was empty in front of him, and he was about to dunk violently when he was strong.
"Why ......"
At the moment when Chen Mu's feet jumped with force, behind his ears, a familiar and unfamiliar voice sounded.
Like all geniuses who are obscure, Beasley's doubts and uneasiness have always come from his own heart.
"Why have I wasted so many years......"
"Rub!"
Jump!
"So fast!!"
Chen Mu's hands bent his bow and arrows back, and he was about to complete the earth-shattering buckle, but Beasley, who was behind him, stopped his strength after landing and caught up, and actually came to the highest point first by Chen Mu, who was in the first gear in the league.
Why didn't I take advantage of the opportunity.
Why didn't I make good use of my talents?
Why am I so sinking, why am I always bad at everything, why does everyone think I have no intention of playing basketball, why does everyone scold me for being a child......
Who says I don't want to win!!
"Smack!"
In the air confrontation, Beasley's palm was pressed the side of the basketball, and before the surprised expression on Chen Mu's face could be made, the ball had already been sideways and hit the ground heavily.
"Cover, cap!"
In the eyes of the audience, Michael Beasley took out Chen Mu's must-score goal from behind him, which shocked the eyeballs.
But this showdown is not over yet.
"Damn!"
Chen Mu didn't expect that Beasley, who had always been pressed to the ground by himself, would suddenly burst out with such a terrifying impact. Fortunately, he jumped first and landed first. As soon as he stood firm on his feet, he immediately stretched out his long arm and grabbed the ball that was about to fall out of the bottom line in mid-air.
Attack again!
Chen Mu also lost his temper, won the ball slightly, and waited for the moment Beasley landed, arched back hard, and directly pushed Beasley out two meters away with terrifying power.
Subsequently, take off.
"Chen Mu is here again!!"
The posture of the king, the gods descended to earth, Chen Mu was domineering, the ball in both hands burst out, and the brute force of his whole body burst out, and he was ruthless to dunk the ball into the basket.
Just when the offense was finally coming to an end, Michael Beasley jumped again.
"Rub!"
You can't die.
The Sacramento Kings are a team that can't be beaten.
My cousin is a leader who can't be killed.
I, Michael Beasley, must be a garbage dog that can't be killed!
"Smack!"
Electrifying Stonefire!
The terrifying brilliance flashed out, Beasley once again pressed the ball with one hand, exerted force from the side and back, and actually reached out to the front of Chen Mu, and slapped the ball directly away.
"Floor Ball !!"
In the shouts of the players on the Kings bench, Beasley just wanted to scramble for the floor ball, when he saw a mad dog-like figure, who jumped out of nowhere, his long arms crossed in the air, and before him and Chen Mu, he hugged the ball into his arms.
"It's ...... Javier McGee!! ”
"Attack! Attack!!! ”
McGee snatched the ball from the floor, and his body didn't know how many times he scratched the floor, but he was unaware of the pain, and when he opened his hand to pass the ball, he let out a roar.
"Rub!"
The Kings flew on both wings, Gu Yu was the fastest in the middle, received a pass from McGee and dribbled under the crotch, shook off the chasing Butler, and then sent a big diagonal pass.
Paul George wisely stepped out of the way and went straight to the bottom corner, giving the basket space entirely to another person.
The other, a garbage dog that can't be killed.
