NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 154 So Strong!

New York Knicks bench:

"Boss, I'm a little nervous." Jimmy Butler was about to usher in his NBA debut, and for some reason he felt a little nervous for no reason.

Andrew: "."

Jimmy is still a baby version of Jimmy.

"How old are you, Jimmy?" Andrew asked back.

Jimmy Butler froze for a moment before replying, "Boss, I'm 22 years old."

Andrew patted Jimmy Butler on the shoulder and said, "Jimmy, do you know how old I was when I played in the NBA? It was 18 years old, that is, last year, when I stood on this court for the first time, I was excited. , because I was finally able to realize my dream."

Andrew stared into Jimmy Butler's eyes and said, "Jimmy, tell me what is your dream?"

Jimmy Butler said without hesitation: "I want to be an excellent basketball player."

Jimmy Butler was born in September 1989 in Houston, Texas.His basketball dreams began as a child, spending his childhood in a neighborhood known as "street basketball."There, he played with friends, sparking his love and desire for basketball.

However, Butler didn't immediately gain recognition for his talent and talent.In addition, his family is not rich, and his living environment is not ideal.Facing difficulties, Butler never gave up his love for basketball, and he also took basketball as an opportunity to change his destiny.He has an unyielding heart and always believes that he can be the best.And continue to use sweat and hard work to prove their worth.

In high school, Butler attended a basketball camp in Houston.Through hard training and struggle, he has shown unlimited potential on the court.However, Butler did not attract the attention of college basketball teams.There was no way to get a scholarship opportunity for college basketball, and in the end Butler had to choose to play at Taylor County Community College.There, he began to show his basketball potential and gradually gained the attention of many universities.Following his stellar performance at community college, he was offered a transfer opportunity to Marquette University.

Although entering college, Butler's basketball career at Marquette University was not easy.He encountered new challenges and competition.He needs to prove his strength among many teammates in order to impress the coach and get more playing time.However, this did not break his resolve.He knows that only by working harder can he realize his dream.He worked hard to adapt to a higher level of play, constantly improving his technique and awareness to outshine his opponents through gritty effort and endless training.He gradually showed great leadership skills and a tenacious competitive spirit.This made him the core player of the team and led the team to many important victories during the season.

Jimmy Butler's journey has been very bumpy, but he still came all the way to the NBA stage.

As soon as Jimmy Butler finished speaking, images of his hard journey appeared in his mind, and the tension in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Andrew also continued to give Jimmy Butler a shot in the arm: "Jimmy, we will still reach the playoffs, reach the finals, and win the Larry O'Brien Cup. Jimmy, are you willing to dedicate your all to this?"

Jimmy Butler was known as the toughest man in the playoffs in his previous life. He led a one-push draft pick twice to reach the finals. Unfortunately, he still failed to win the Larry O'Brien Cup. But this life is different. Jimmy, I will lead you Get countless Larry O'Brien Cups.

Andrew's words reached Jimmy Butler's ears word by word, and from his ears to his heart. For a moment, Jimmy Butler's blood boiled and he nodded crazily: "I am willing, boss, I will definitely do my best to help the team win Larry O'Brien." cup."

"Then now is your chance, go up and kill the shooting guard on the opposite side, you know?" Andrew estimated that the Boston Celtics would definitely replace Ray Allen at the beginning of the second quarter.

In the first quarter, Ray Allen struggled against Andrew's defense, so the head coach Rivers reminded him to replace him, intending to let him avoid Andrew and take the substitute players to grab points.

To be honest, Coach Rivers' wishful thinking was good, but he missed one point-New York Knicks rookie Jimmy Butler.

"Leave it to me, boss!"

In the second quarter, players from both sides returned to the court, and the New York Knicks were all bench players: Raymond Falton, Jimmy Butler, Patrick Ewing, Sean Williams, Timofey Mozgov.

As for the Boston Celtics, Rondo and Ray Allen led three substitutes on the field. Even if Rondo played the first quarter, he was the only young man among the giants. More, squeeze his rest time, and Rondo has no objection to this.

As soon as he came up, Rondo used the pick-and-roll to rush in and scored a layup against the help defense Sean Williams.

"Beep beep." The referee's whistle sounded, and Sean Williams made a defensive foul.

2 + 1!
Rondo walks to the free throw line and executes the free throw.

"Dang." A sound, missed.

Timofey Mozgov took off the rebound and then gave the ball to Raymond Falton. Raymond Falton advanced quickly, followed by Jimmy Butler on one side.

Raymond Falton was advancing so fast that Ray Allen had to drop Jimmy Butler and pounce on Raymond Falton.

Raymond Falton immediately passed the ball to Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler who received the ball did not shoot, but chose to rush in, and Rondo made up for it immediately.

Jimmy Butler didn't force it, he was very team, and gave the ball to Sean Williams who cut in the middle.

Sean Williams, who received the ball, took off and scored with a one-handed dunk.

In response to Rondo's layup just now.

Sean Williams, who scored the goal, gave Jimmy Butler a thumbs up: "Nice pass."

Jimmy Butler had a big smile on his face.

When it was the Celtics' turn, Rondo also gave the ball to Ray Allen. After all, chasing three-pointers was the most reliable.

Ray Allen: "." There was Andrew in the first quarter, and now there is a rookie, am I getting old?Ray Allen couldn't help but doubt himself, running off the ball without even getting rid of a rookie.

In fact, Jimmy Butler was able to entangle Ray Allen tightly because he did his homework before the game, watched videotapes, and trained in the training hall. In addition, Ray Allen is 36 years old this year, and his speed and flexibility are indeed not as good as when he was young.

In this way, Ray Allen was entangled by Jimmy Butler when he was chasing points. Rondo alone led the other three substitutes, and it was difficult to narrow the point difference, and was even slightly opened by the New York Knicks.

The game time went to 8 minutes and 45 seconds in the second quarter, and the point difference came to 17 points. Coach Rivers had to call a timeout.

At this moment, the Boston Celtics knew from top to bottom that this New York Knicks team was no longer the New York Knicks of last season.

After a timeout, the two sides returned to the court as starters. As soon as Andrew hit a low-post singles Ray Allen hit a fadeaway jumper, then the defensive end Andrew made up the defense and blocked Pierce's layup. Then he played a defensive counterattack and faced Rondo. The defense with Ray Allen made a forced layup and caused a foul.

Rondo: "."

Ray Allen: "."

So strong!The first reaction in their hearts.

"Shua" made a free throw and scored 3 points in a row.

Andrew helped the team widen the point difference by 22 points as soon as he came up, once again showing his strong strength to the Boston Celtics.

In the second quarter, Andrew scored another 15 points in a single quarter and 32 points in the half, leading the New York Knicks 67:41 and leading the Boston Celtics by 26 points.
