Chapter 129 The Strange Guy That Cannot Be Ignored
At halftime, Ruan Erniu was stopped by Chris Wilmore, a reporter from Atlanta's local media AJC Sports, to accept a halftime interview.

Ruan Erniu once again expressed his determination to defend the home court.And affirming the strong strength of CP3, he said in front of the screen: "If Paul becomes the MVP in the next few years, I will not be surprised!"

Chris Wilmore finally asked: "Do you think you can get the MVP this season?"

Ruan Erniu chuckled and said, "Unless MVP changes the voting method and allows fans all over the world to vote for me!"

After finishing speaking, Er Niu and Will Wemer laughed together again.

As we all know, Tianchao fans are a big vote warehouse comparable to the whole meter. If Stern didn't make some small moves behind him, Dayao would have to be the number one voter in the NBA every year.Well, maybe Bryant is also possible, after all, he has 60 billion.

Ruan Erniu waved his hand, bid farewell to Will Wimmer, and ran quickly to the locker room. Erniu still had a question and wanted to discuss it with Woodson alone.

Fortunately, Ruan Erniu, who was running fast, found Woodson who was walking at the end before entering the locker room.

This Hei Si is the head coach, so he is naturally the last person to enter the locker room.

"Mike, wait a minute!" Ruan Erniu patted Woodson's shoulder and said.

Woodson turned around, wondering, "What's the matter, Kraft?"

Ruan Erxin paused for a moment, but said bluntly: "Did Billy (Billy Knight) tell you anything? I always feel that there is something wrong with your rotation."

Woodson nodded and said: "I thought you would guess this question a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to come to me to talk about it so soon. After the game is over, I will have a good chat with you about this question. How about waiting for me in the locker room?"

Ruan Erniu nodded, expressing his understanding of Woodson's approach!

Before he knew it, Ruan Erniu already had the right to influence the will of the head coach and general manager.This is the power of business. When Ruan Erniu has achieved his own worth, when he can continue to bring benefits to the Eagles and even Atlanta as a whole, his former boss has to bow his head in front of him and consider his thoughts and benefits.

The Eagles' locker room is in a good mood. They played a wonderful second quarter and have already seized the initiative. When winning consecutive victories, even if some uncoordinated news is spreading, it is difficult to shake the mood of the entire team.

What is really dignified is the Hornets' locker room.

CP3 is discussing with Chandler and David West the feasibility of double-teaming Ruan Erniu.

"Impossible, the Celestials average 5+ assists per game. Once they double-team him too tightly, they will definitely miss people seriously!" David West immediately put forward a negative opinion.

Chandler also shook his head and said: "It's more appropriate to defend against the Celestials alone. I think we should learn from the Spurs and cut off his connection with other Eagles players. No matter how strong he is alone, he can't dominate the game every game. However, If he plays as well as Jordan, then we..."

The boxing champion (Chandler's name is Tyson, so nicknamed the boxing champion) didn't finish his sentence, but his words were clear enough.

Learn from the Pistons of the year and adopt Jordan's rule two!

At that time, the Pistons claimed to have formulated hundreds of Jordan rules, but in fact there were only two cores:

Jordan's rule one: Do everything you can to double-team Jordan and give him the ball to grab it. As all old fans have seen, in the iron-blooded 80s, cutting off children and grandchildren was a regular foul.

Jordan's second rule: Do everything possible to cut off the connection between Jordan and other Bulls players. Unless Jordan scores 50+ or ​​60+ points every game, the Bulls will lose.

Assuming that there were no bad boys from the Pistons back then, the Bull Dynasty might have appeared in front of the world a little earlier.

CP3 nodded in agreement with the boxing champion. The Hornets' inside line is definitely the first-class level in the league. Paul is also willing to trust his teammates. Defense is a job that the whole team must devote to it.Without any link, it is impossible to form a system.

Finally, Paul called his teammates together one after another to unify everyone's thinking.

Byron Scott remained silent throughout the process as usual, but at the end poured a bowl of "chicken soup" with his past victories and his glorious history.

CP3 gave this guy a cold look, but quickly returned to his trademark smile.Continue to inspire your teammates.

What is Paul thinking?This matter, only he himself knows.

As soon as the second half started, Ruan Erniu noticed something strange.

The Hornets are deliberately cutting him off from his teammates, and they are learning from the Spurs.

Ruan Erniu is a person with a long memory. He didn't rush to dig inside, but consciously dribbled to the high position.

囧囧sen also found it strange, but he stepped forward to respond as soon as possible, took the basketball from Er Niu, and used Er Niu's high-quality pick-and-roll to break through the inside and score 2 points.

Chris Paul controlled the ball across the half, and after quickly breaking through Anthony Johnson's defense, he faced Ruan Erniu and gave the ball to David West, who hit a mid-range shot from the waist, which was stable and efficient.

David West doesn't look like a traditionally black player.He always appears very quiet in the team, doing things quietly and reading quietly.

His locker in the locker room will be filled with books that most black players will never touch in their lives.For example, Aldrich Clifford's autobiography "Soul on Ice". (Eldridge Cleaver (Eldridge Cleaver) was the soul of the radical black separatist organization "Black Panther Party" in the United States in the 70s and [-]s. He was the information minister of the Black Panther Party and had great influence on the entire The mafia movement had a huge impact).

His teammates laughed at him for being too old-fashioned, so he stopped reading them in front of people.

David West said: "A few years before I entered the industry, I understood this truth: the locker room is not necessarily a place to make myself comfortable. To be honest, it is not easy to find a balance in such a place. Especially Like me, a guy who's always thinking about things, so many things come and go in his head. Sometimes, I can't focus on basketball."

David West's later changes were closely related to Hurricane Katrina. When he witnessed the human tragedy after the disaster, he sincerely felt that he should do something for the black brothers and families who lost their homes.

He said this: "The Katrina disaster has completely changed my view of the NBA, and I will make good use of this speaking platform."

In addition to the philanthropy hosted by the NBA, David began to support those devastated families in New Orleans with his own strength.He has remained friends with many families.

David West also said: "To live, you have to do something for others, otherwise you are wasting the opportunity God gave you, wasting your time and life," David said, "This is what I call 'to do something for others. The way to make yourself live a stable life. I think that in the NBA, the way of life is not something that can be decided by oneself. Therefore, it is normal to chase fame and fortune in the business league, but you can’t just chase fame and fortune and ignore other things. "

If this guy lives in the Celestial Dynasty, he must be a popular and professional character.

In the third quarter, the power of justice in David West finally broke out. He made 7 of 4 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds.

At 25:18, the Hornets recovered 7 points in the third quarter.

Ruan Erniu didn't care about this. What he cared about was that his teammate's hit dropped again. The Hornets might not be able to limit his pass, but they did prevent his teammate!
PS: I couldn’t help but write a little more about David West. This person is indeed a unique weirdo. If I have to make an analogy, it’s like Liu Yida in Zhou Xingxing’s movie. Veteran Singer!

PS2: Let me tell you the launch time in advance. If there is no accident, it will be officially launched on December 12st!
