NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 564 Anderson

Leon Anderson.

A big white guy from California.

He was already famous in high school.

Attended University of California, Berkeley.

He also made a name for himself.

Both scoring and rebounding are excellent.

Of course, that's by college basketball standards.

According to scouting reports, his original draft pick was even higher.

However, because the Bobcats traded two lottery picks, they selected Westbrook and DeAndre Jordan.

Especially DeAndre Jordan.

As a result, some draft arrangements of other teams were disrupted.

For example, although the Bulls still got Rose, everyone originally thought that the Bulls would select Rose with the No. 1 pick.

Anderson's draft pick was not as good as expected, but fortunately, he was finally selected in the first round.

Didn't fall to the second round.

After entering the alliance.

Anderson's performance also fell far short of expectations.

Many people are saying that those damn scouts were blind when they gave him such a high draft pick.

Some people even think that the Bobcats will choose him, which will help other teams eliminate a wrong option.

Anderson's offensive firepower is pretty much in line with expectations.

The defense is terrible.

Both single defense and help defense are terrible.

Some people say that facing his defense, it is even better to put a wooden stake in front of you.

And as a power forward, Anderson doesn't seem to be able to rebound after entering the NBA.

"As a rookie, my scoring is just mediocre. My defense is weak and I can't rebound."

"Of course, as a power forward, it's not his fault that he has no organizational skills."

"I really don't know what he did in college."

"Or maybe his opponents in college were too weak!"

Some people commented that Anderson may be the weakest Bobcat on this team, bar none.

Even if we look at all the players since the Bobcats were founded, I am afraid that only Ha Shengzhen is weaker than him.

……

Of course, Anderson is aware of the outside world's evaluation of him.

He was also unconvinced.

Speaking of which, his performance after entering the league was not even comparable to his performance in college.

He also admitted this.

These are facts, but they are not all the facts.

"You have great physical gifts!"

"You should be a person beyond your abilities!"

"At some critical moments, you should be the one who can make the coach feel comfortable leaving the problem to you to solve."

"Not just a white power forward who can shoot and rebound offensively."

Facing this coach who is only a few years older than him.

Anderson always felt weird.

Shouldn't coaches be all those gray-haired old men?

But he is the head coach.

He is just an ordinary rookie with an annual salary of 98.

He has no say in what others tell him to do.

The training he was given made him feel awkward.

Several times he wanted to stop this torturous training.

However, he also saw that other people in the team were training according to the coach's arrangements.

The content of the training certainly varies.

The effect seems to be very good.

Oden, who was once regarded as the pride of heaven, once complained to him that the training arranged by the coach made him feel awkward.

It can be said that almost every action is completely different from his habits.

However, even Oden persisted.

Anderson had nothing to say.

There are also some who have already practiced it almost.

For example, the guy named Durant.

That guy is a few months younger than me.

Now he is the team's leading scorer.

Looking at the entire league, only Wade can barely beat him.

Even if there is a slight mistake in positioning, or if Durant can be more accurate, or if he has more shooting opportunities, it is not impossible to surpass Wade.

"Can I be a player like him?"

Durant is the second pick, and he is just an ordinary first-round pick.

Even Anderson himself felt that he was a little too ignorant to ask this.

However, he still wanted to know from the coach whether this was possible for him.

"You and he are different types of players."

"If you want to be a player like him."

"I can tell you clearly that if you spend your entire career and spend all your time and energy on training hard, your achievements will not be too high."

"At best, he's just a weird role player."

"Whether he can stay in the NBA depends on fate."

"But you are who you are, why should you be the same as others?"

"Your talent allows you to be the player that determines the outcome of your team's success."

"Why do you have to be like everyone else!"

Anderson expressed whether he understood Zhou Yao's words or not.

However, he can only continue to train according to the coach's arrangements.

Even after training he always felt like vomiting.

And his game performance has never improved.

This made Anderson very anxious.

The Bobcats have four rookies on their roster this year.

Westbrook has almost booked this year's Rookie of the Year award.

DeAndre Jordan is often said to be the team's draft failure, but at least he had a good performance.

Nicolas Batum is not particularly impressive yet, but he is not holding the team back either.

Only he is said to be the Bobcats' biggest mistake in this year's draft.

This made Anderson very unconvinced.

How could he become the team’s mistake and failure?

But look back at your performance on the field.

Let’s not talk about other games, just today.

James is indeed one of the best players in the league.

However, his defense was like paper in front of him.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, his damn performance is still embarrassing enough.

Facing his own defense, he can allow his opponent to score 19 points in a single quarter.

You know, I didn't stay on the court all the time in the second quarter.

The opponent's 27 points were indeed scary.

But he only scored 19 points on himself.

Hey!

Damn defense!

Needless to say, Anderson himself wanted to punch himself twice.

At halftime, assistant coaches Kerr and Tyronn Lue objected to continuing to give themselves playing time in the third quarter.

This is also correct.

If I were the head coach.

He won't give himself that much playing time in the second quarter.

Anderson only hopes that he can score more points next time.

His own defense is indeed not worth mentioning.

In fact, his offensive firepower is only average among this year's rookies.

It's just make do.

However, it would be good to try to make up for it as much as possible.

The training the coach arranged for himself was indeed torturous.

But if the coach can trust him like that, he must perform better.

Anderson was still thinking wildly.

James, William Mo, and JR have already double-teamed Zhou Yao.

O'Neal stayed under the basket.

Varejao was attracted to the other side by Pachulia.

Anderson, Nick Young and Durant were all unmarked.

At this moment, the basketball was passed to Anderson's hands...
