Chapter 455
He was obviously running out of the room, but Durant was still on the defense. Moreover, before passing the ball to him, Reedno made a fake move to pass the ball to himself. It was obvious that he saw the situation on his side, but he still passed the ball to the other side, which was incomprehensible.
If it were the past, Wilkins would have been equally angry, but he would not have been as angry as he is today, because he knew that he was just a non-draft player. If he had not seen his uncle, the Supersonics might not have signed his first professional contract at all. However, Durant entered the team with the second-tier pick, representing or at least partly representing the team's future. He was just a substitute, but the opponent was the final starter as soon as he scored.
Wilkins didn't say anything about these, because he knew that players like himself should have swallowed their anger like children raised by stepmothers, and were at ease to be the team's substitute when the team needed him, but most of the time he could only sit on the bench and watch others' glory.
Outside the league, there are a large number of players who have talent and skills, but have no chance to enter the league, because most positions in a team are prepared for those who enter the team through the draft. By entering the draft, they are either top players in the college league or new stars who have become famous in high school.
In addition to them, more and more international players are lined up to enter the league. However, these players can only enter the team's training camp at the beginning of each season, and use their hard work to see if they can impress the coaches in the training camp. Then they recommend to the head coach. The head coach then chooses who to stay based on the needs of the team and the personal characteristics of the players, and then they have to undergo the review of the management. Only when these are passed can they stay in the team.
Then there is a long and boundless waiting period. Unless a player in the same position as you suffers from injury, you can only perform on the court during garbage time. There is also a temporary contract to be transferred to the formal contract. After the formality, you have to check whether you can sign a long-term contract.
The league needs about 500 official players, but there are only two or three places left for each team. There are still a large number of veterans in the free market. In addition, there are hundreds of players in the Development League, and the intensity of the competition for such a few hundred people can be imagined.
By staying and turning to a long-term contract, Wilkins advanced from the second substitute to the first substitute. In addition to his good physical fitness and being able to match the intensity of the league, he was also hardworking and smarter, knowing the overall situation and knowing progress and retreat.
But it does not mean that he has no dreams or ambitions. At the same time, he is also very rational and self-aware. However, his performance in the first half of today greatly increased his confidence. He was in a good state, while Durant's performance today was very poor, so Ridno's pass choice made it difficult for him to accept.
"Why don't you pass the ball to me? Is it better not to see my chance?" When he ran to the half, he ran to Ridno and asked in a low voice. Although he felt that Ridno had been a teammate for several years after all, and everyone was on the bench lineup, the ball distribution of the substitute lineup was controlled by the point guard, so he could not be offended easily, but his emotions still made his questioning involuntarily give him a questioning tone.
Reedno glanced at him and ignored him. Reedno was not even convinced even Stephen. He was the lottery show of "Super Platinum Generation" in Zero 3. If it were other draft picks, it would be at least the top five picks. He looked down on Wilkins, not to mention that Wilkins' tone was so uncomfortable.
Wilkins felt even more despised. He asked him kindly, but he ignored him. He was about to reach out to grab Reedno and asked. He was run over by Kot Thomas behind him and separated them. Kot Thomas had been in the league for more than ten years, so he naturally knew clearly what happened between them. However, as a newcomer, although he was a veteran, he was not interested in taking care of them too much. He just left them alone and ignored them.
Chris Duhon's move to the ball stopped for a while. Reedno thought he was a mistake and hurriedly took action to steal. Who knew that he was in the trap of Chris Duhon, and he lost his defensive position with just one move. Chris Duhon took a step back and made a three-pointer to hit the basket.
Wilkins immediately curled his lips. Of course, he did not face Ridno, but he did not turn his head to avoid Ridno's sight. So although he was facing Ridno, the expression on his face was clearly seen by Ridno. Reedno was naturally very angry when he was despised by a player like Wilkins.
After halftime, Ridno took the initiative to run towards Wilkins. Wilkins was angry, but he still came over to provide a cover for Ridno and blocked Kris Duhon for Ridno, but Sovlosa also blocked Ridno's front.
At this time, Ridno passed the ball again, and passed the ball to Durant by passing the ball over the four people in the middle. Durant never expected Ridno to pass the ball. After rushing to the ball, Nosioni immediately put a lot of pressure on him, so he hurriedly took action, but failed again.
After seeing another miss, Durant smiled apologetically at his teammates. Everyone has no bad views on Durant. He is talented and willing to work hard and has a restrained personality. Even Wilkins just thinks that his condition is not very good today, so he shouldn't take more actions. He has no dissatisfaction with Durant himself, and he responds with a smile.
However, he was not so kind to Ridno. When he ran past Ridno, he snorted deliberately. Ridno also snorted coldly, and then the two parted ways and ran to the other side.
If there were few people who could see the misconfrontation between the two people just now, now this scene fell into everyone's eyes. I just whispered a few words and was then pushed away by Cott Thomas. Now the expressions and movements of the two people are obviously emotional.
Caresimo and Stephen frowned at the same time. Basketball is still a collective sport in general, and the Supersonics are still a team that attacks from the outside, but now the team's main point guard is inconsistent with the shooting guard. How can this offense be played?
They were worried, but the Bulls saw a chance to win. After seeing it, Skeles immediately changed Sinrich and Rollden to see if he could catch this loophole in the Supersonics and get closer.
