182. Tragic career 3200 words)

With the entry of the two teams, the entire Toyota Center Arena also booed the Magic.

Although the two teams have no grievances, for fans, this is also a way to cheer for the home team.

Taking advantage of the fans' boos, we try to give the Magic teams away to more pressure so that they can perform some abnormalities on the field.

Before the game began, both sides warmed up shooting in their respective halfs so that they could get into the game as soon as possible.

While both sides were warming up the shooting, Su Jiu found Yao Ming of the Rockets on the sidelines.

The two of them were communicating on the sidelines, talking and laughing so hard that they couldn't help but want to hear what they were saying.

"You have to show mercy in this game. When you see me rushing in, don't you plan to put two water for me?"

"You have to know how difficult it is to meet a compatriot in a foreign country, and your little act of kindness may be unforgettable to me, haha."

When Yao Ming heard Su Jiu's constant jokes there, he felt very intimate. After all, it was indeed not easy to meet a compatriot in a foreign country.

"I don't think you need me to let you go, haha, I also hope you can show mercy in this game. You have become famous recently."

"It's all Xu Ming, I never care about these messy things." Hearing Yao Ming's praise, Su Jiu's big mouth was almost at the back of his ears, but he wanted to pretend to be very calm and not care about Xu Ming.

It seems that the more you have to be, the more you have to be.

Yao Ming: “…………”

"It seems that Su and Yao have a good relationship in private. The two of them seemed to be happy to chat on the sidelines. They just don't know if they can maintain this indifferent mood after the game starts."

Mark Woodson, a famous commentator at epsn, also subconsciously said when he saw Su Jiu and Yao Ming talking and laughing on the sidelines.

Partner Tom Hovas: "Yes, both of them can be said to be very popular basketball stars in China, so we also saw a lot of Chinese fans coming to cheer on this game."

"And these two people have performed very well recently, but I don't know who can finish the last laugh in this game."

Before the game began, both sides also announced their starting lineups:

Rockets:

Yao Ming, Scola, Artest, Vaughan Weaver, and Alstom.

Magic:

Sujiu, Pitrus, Lewis, Tkoglu, and Howard.

With the official start of the game, both sides jumped in the middle circle, and the ball was first obtained by Yao Ming, who was better-known in height.

Mark Woodson: "Okay, then this game has officially begun. We can see that the ball rights after the opening game were also the first to be obtained by the Rockets."

"For Dwight, the match between Yao in this game is also very pressured. After all, Yao has always had the upper hand in the previous data of the fight."

"In the regular season last season, the Magic and the Rockets had two matches, and in these two games Yao averaged 19.5 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists per game."

"Dwight only had 13.5 points, 12 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, so this game is also a huge challenge for Dwight and the Magic."

At the moment the game began, the familiar mechanical sound rang in Su Jiu's mind again.

【Ding ~ It was detected that the host is playing a competition and random selection is being performed for the host, please wait ~ 】

[Ding~The star experience card for this game has been drawn. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Demar DeRozan experience card for the 17-18 season.]

[The experience card will be completely invalid after the end of this game. I wish the host a happy basketball~]

After learning that he drew the DeRozan experience card in this game, Su Jiu did not have too surprised expression on his face.

He was even quite satisfied with this lottery. At least DeRozan is much better than most players in the league.

The most important thing is that as the last classical scorer in the later small ball era, DeRozan's playing style can be said to be perfectly in line with today's era.

However, DeRozan's personal career is a bit tragic. He contributed all his best years to the Raptors, but in the end he became a big bargaining chip on the road to winning the championship.

During James' years with the Cavaliers, DeRozan was very depressed. Even though he led the team to the top record in the Eastern Conference, he still could not cross the James mountain in the playoffs.

It was even rumored that DeRozan was already suffering from very severe depression.

In this case, even though DeRozan once averaged 27 points per game in the season, he eventually became a big bargaining chip in the trade with the Spurs.

The saddest thing is that in the first season after DeRozan was traded to the Spurs, as a bargaining chip for the trade, Leonard directly led the Raptors to defeat the Warriors with a total score of 4:2 and successfully won the championship trophy that year.

At the same time, this trophy is also the first championship trophy in the history of the Raptors.

The moment when the Raptors generals raised the championship trophy, people saw desolation and envy in DeRozan's eyes, but more of it was the helplessness hidden in their hearts.

Many fans in later generations were once angry about DeRozan, and even praised it bluntly on the Internet:

"Just relying on the Raptors' lineup that season and the injuries the Warriors suffered, even if DeRozan was not traded in the end, he could still lead the Raptors to win the championship."

But after all, the facts have happened, and people can only feel sad for DeRozan in their hearts. It doesn't matter whether this assumption can come true.

Sadly, before he was traded and left the team, DeRozan had never known that he had become a bargaining chip for the Raptors.

Even when he suddenly learned that he was going to be traded to the Spurs, DeRozan did not communicate with the management, but instead devoted himself to the training hall and started endless training.

I closed myself in a narrow space and didn't want to communicate with anyone.

At that time, the relationship between Lowry, the second leader of the Raptors, and DeRozan was very friendly.

After DeRozan was traded, even before each game began, Lowry would make a set of motivational moves that he had to do before the game with DeRozan.

This scene once made countless fans cry, and more fans began to pay attention to the tragic hero DeRozan.

In this way, DeRozan, who had always carried one of the trash brothers on his back, eventually went to the Holy City and became the new flagship bearer of the Spurs.

After DeRozan, who has always been unspeakable, came to the Spurs, he also worked hard to integrate himself into the new team system and gradually changed his playing style on the court.

In that season, DeRozan reduced the number of shots on the court and increased the pass cooperation with his teammates.

Faced with all this, DeRozan had no complaints, because in his heart, as long as he could win, he was willing to pay any price!!

In the end, in that unfinished season, DeRozan averaged 6.1 assists per game, which was a very successful transformation.

He gave up on scoring that he began to be obsessed with offensive ends, increasing his passes on the court.

You know, how painful this process will be when the boy who is Kobe is willing to give up his attack on the offensive end.

But unlike Kobe, DeRozan is more willing to trust his teammates, and he is willing to give up more in order to win.

He doesn't care who is the boss of this team or Aldridge. As long as he can win, he is willing to give up all this reputation.

It's just a pity that DeRozan's tragic career seems far from over. Even so, the Spurs were still rejected outside the playoffs that season.

Even after half of the season, I didn't see hope for the playoffs, which made the outside world start to launch a new round of criticism of DeRozan.

Some people say that DeRozan is not suitable to be the star of a team, while others say that DeRozan is only suitable to be a player who holds his thighs because he is an absolute "trash".

Faced with all this, we do not know whether DeRozan had cried alone in the dark.

But what we know is that DeRozan has never responded to these questions in front of the media, nor has he explained the insults in the fans' mouths.

He just threw himself into training and brought two headphones as if he wanted to completely isolate himself from the world.

It is hard for you to imagine that when the leader of a team's team is about to expire, what the outside world is talking about is not whether he will renew his contract with the team, but the feeling of hoping that the team will not sign with him and let him go as soon as possible.

Faced with such remarks that stabbed the heart like a knife, DeRozan just smiled slightly, and finally turned around and continued to join the court.

It was such a star who had almost no presence in front of the media. When he learned that Kobe had passed away, he burst into tears...

This time, tears were also DeRozan's first cry in front of the media. Even though he was rejected by James many times and was called a garbage brother by people many times, he never left a single tear.

On that day, DeRozan cried like a child. No one knew how painful he was, and no one knew what Kobe's departure meant for his career.

What is left to people is the sad scene when DeRozan's face was full of tears and cried until he was even more swallowed...

Before he knew it, Su Jiu on the field felt a little wet on his face. Su Jiu, who had recovered from his senses, realized that he seemed to have been involved in a tragic world at that moment.

He watched DeRozan's tragic career from the perspective of God.

Su Jiu, who gradually recovered from his senses, also gently wiped away the tears hidden in the corners of his eyes with his hands, then took a deep breath, and said in a slightly more sucking voice, but extremely firm:

"People who like you say you were born in the wrong era, and those who don't like you say you are "trash" in any era, so today, let me complete the name correction for you..."

"I..., swear!!"
