Chapter 650 [Men Should Be Cruel to Others]
Istanbul is Turkey's economic, cultural, financial, news, trade, transportation center, a world-famous tourist destination, and one of the bustling international metropolises, located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula and on the west shore of the southern mouth of the Bosphorus.
The treatment of the members of the Dream Nine team is very good, they don't live in a hotel, they directly charter a luxury yacht, and envy others.
All the expenses are paid by the American Basketball Association, of course, for the stars of the American men's basketball team, this is pocket money, even if a rookie like Curry signed a rookie contract with the Bucks at that time for 4 years and 12.7 million.
There are swimming pools, gyms, spas, bars, coffee bars, libraries, relaxation rooms, small casinos and other facilities on the yacht, and the biggest player who came this time is only Durant, so everyone had a lot of fun.
The only one who feels that the yacht is not good enough is Yang Rui, the world's largest yacht "Tranquility" is his home, and he can live there at any time.
On the 27th, the whole team was on holiday, and everyone was entertaining and relaxing, only Curry ran to the bow deck to blow the wind.
It's a pity that he is flat-headed, white and beardless, does not show the slightest vicissitudes and melancholy, and lives like a primary school student who scored zero in the exam and did not dare to go home for fear of being beaten, and is struggling to think about how to convince his parents that he has lost his exam paper......
Yang Rui was video chatting with Nina and Stana Minions in the room at the same time, and Griffin came to knock on the door.
"What's the matter? Blake? ”
Griffin smiled, "Jerry, Stephen is on deck again, I'll report." ”
"Okay, you can play."
Because they are teammates of the Clippers, Griffin is the person who has the best relationship with Curry, and the two intend to interact more and often act together. Curry left the lounge to go to the deck to blow the wind, and Griffin reported as Yang Rui requested.
Yang Rui said hello to his girlfriend and went to find Curry.
Yang Rui usually doesn't talk much to Curry, but he has been paying attention to him. He thought Curry needed to be sharpened, so he deliberately was him and let him be abused by singles.
In Yang Rui's previous life, many people sprayed that he had never won FMVP, thinking that he was seriously overestimated and looking for his shortcomings. These guys are overlooking one of Curry's qualities, and that's his hard work, and it's the perseverance that keeps him improving.
The peak Cormiers boasted that Kobe Bryant was disabled and strong, relied on hard work to succeed, and his physical fitness was very average. In fact, after Kobe Bryant entered the league, his comprehensive quality was recognized as the top five in the league, and he was at least the top ten in the league 10 years ago.
Unbelief? Can anyone find another example of a person with average body who is good at breaking through dunks and making big step-back jumpers?
There are only two people in the NBA who really strive to become superstars by day after tomorrow, one is Nash and the other is Curry. Both have been rejected by college teams due to their average health, and both have had a rough start to the NBA.
Although Curry's stats are better than Nash's, he spent the first few seasons being sprayed with "cancer".
His flowing jump shot was described as a slow shot and not very practical.
His poor defense has been criticized and has been called the air class.
Ellis is on the team, and he can't be ranked in the top 10 guards in the All-Star vote, and he is known as the data brush.
The worst thing is that in the first three seasons of Curry's career, both ankles were like a curse, and he suffered frequent injuries.
On March 17, 2010, Curry missed the game for the first time with a sprained left ankle; In October 2010, Curry also injured his right ankle, and two days later, Curry insisted on playing with the injury, only to sprain his right ankle again; In the summer of 2011, Curry decided to undergo surgery due to frequent injuries to his right ankle. But the nightmare is far from over, as he played in just 26 games due to an ankle injury in the 11-12 season, averaging just 14.7 points per game.
Because of injury problems, Curry only got a four-year, 44 million contract, but fortunately, the following summer, Curry had another successful operation, and in the next four seasons, the frequency of ankle injuries decreased, and the regular season attendance was also good.
During this period, Curry also changed his shooting posture with the help of his father, and his shooting speed became faster, and if he couldn't improve his shooting speed and turn his flowing jump shot into a blind throwing goal, Curry would not have become an MVP-level player.
And Curry is no longer a black hole after Kerr became the head coach of the Warriors, and he worked hard to defend every ball on the defensive end. In '16 there have been people who have started to say that he is underrated defensively, and the defensive stats speak for themselves.
As soon as Yang Rui walked out of the hatch, Curry saw him, a little embarrassed, and he couldn't flash immediately, so he greeted him with a wry smile.
"If you're not playing, what are you doing here?" Yang Rui asked.
Curry paused for a moment and replied, "Because the scenery here is beautiful." ”
Yang Rui shuddered. "Damn, it's disgusting for a man to find such a reason, why don't you bring a woman's wig and change your name to Charlotte Camp as a model?"
Curry is sluggish. "Why am I called that?"
"You'll find out in the future." Yang Rui shrugged. "You're depressed because I didn't reuse you, right? I found out something was wrong with you. ”
"Uh......" Curry muttered, his expression cute.
"Stephen, what do you think is the reason I don't need you?" Yang Rui asked.
Curry thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Am I too bad defensively?" ”
"That's right, you're bad defensively, that's why I asked management to trade you and then poached Paul, you have potential, but now you're not suitable to be a starter, I hope you can be Ginobili with the Clippers in the next few seasons and learn something from Paul. He is 183CM tall and has been in the best defensive team, you are 190CM, just average, people don't say that you are a black hole, can't you do it? ”
Curry clenched his fists and said, "I can do it." ”
"I believe you can do it, your dad called me and asked me to train you hard, he was right to let you change your shooting posture, no matter in training or competition in the future, you have to shoot faster, this is also what I ask of you."
"Yes." Curry believes in Yang Rui's vision, and many of the people who get Yang Rui's guidance have become All-Stars. During the Raptors period, Dell Curry had great respect for Yang Rui.
Yang Rui smiled: "Finally, what I have to warn you is that you must pay attention to protecting yourself, don't force a breakthrough dunk in order to be handsome, you will not get applause for dunking, it will only reduce your efficiency, and shooting three points is what you should do." Don't worry, when you're fit to start, I won't let you play as a substitute. ”
"I see, thanks." Curry's smile was much more cheerful, and after chatting with Yang Rui, he completely relaxed.
"Go back, if you catch a cold, you won't even want to play." Yang Rui patted Curry on the shoulder, and the two returned to the cabin together.
Curry is not afraid of hard practice, he is afraid that the coach will not look down on him, as long as he has the opportunity to perform, it is enough. He feels that as long as he can help the team win and win the championship, there is no shame in being a substitute.
Curry's emotional intelligence is very high, and he knows that he doesn't have to worry about his future anymore when he listens to Yang Rui's tone, and he vaguely guesses some deep meanings, but neither he nor Yang Rui can pick out the words.
If there is a day when he overtakes Paul, it will probably be when Paul leaves the Clippers, because Paul will not accept the bench.
The reason why Curry thinks that way is because of his confidence, his belief that he will get better and better, and that he believes that he can one day be the best point guard in the NBA, or even the best player. Even if he doesn't have a 101CM bounce, a height of 206CM, or a weight of 120kg, he is not a brother to Wade and Bosh.
In addition to hard work, confidence is also the source of Curry's strength.
What he strives for every day is to become a better version of himself.
Before you know it, he will become stronger, until one day, he will start to compete for the first place in the world.
