170. Orlando at 4 a.m.
“Wow~”
Dwight Howard looked incredible, looking at Danny Green, who had just completed 50 shots outside the three-point line. Although he was on the away game, Danny Green still followed Wu Dawei and got up at 4 a.m. to train.
Of course, Dwight Howard fulfilled his promise to Wu Dawei yesterday. Today, with the addition of Dwight Howard, the two-person team has become three-person team today.
"You're shooting very accurately, Dana!"
Although it has been a while since he came to the Cleveland Cavaliers, even though he is cheerful, Dwight Howard did not immediately get along with everyone in the Cleveland Cavaliers and all become good friends. There are still players on the team who are not familiar with him, such as the "newcomer" Danny Green, a team who is now training with them.
Green's status in the team is not high, and he is basically the patron saint of the water dispenser in the game, so Dwight Howard's impression of him is not deep, which is understandable.
"My name is Danny! Not Dana!"
Danny Green was originally very proud of himself making 49 shots from 50 from outside the three-point line, because he has not known how many times he has shot Wu Dawei in a row recently! However, the "praise" that Dwight Howard followed has swept away Danny Green's good mood...
"Haha! Are you bisexual Dwight?!"
Wu Dawei couldn't help laughing at the side because this was not the first time. Dwight Howard called Danny Green as Dana Green.
"Sorry, man!" Dwight Howard spread his hands helplessly, showing an innocent expression on his face, saying that he did not mean it: "I was just shocked by your touch! You are so accurate. You must know that my shooting percentage outside the three-point line is only 50%..."
Danny Green felt relieved when he heard Howard's words. When Howard mentioned his hit rate, Danny Green became a little fluttered because this was the result of his hard work!
When Danny Green heard someone bragging about his projection skills, he was still a top superstar in the league. Naturally, Danny Green became a little proud.
"Ha, this is not my best condition!" He boasted to Howard. Although Howard has been interested in joining the Cavaliers for a while, Danny Green is not very familiar with him. At most, he just meets and says hello. Because Howard spends more time with Wu Dawei, Billups and others.
Due to their different positions in the team, most of Danny Green would not be in the same team with Wu Dawei and others when training together on the team.
So at this time, he felt very comfortable bragging and spanking with Howard. Green said to Howard: "You have to ask great, if I get angry, it would be such a terrible thing!"
"Ha..." Wu Dawei curled his lips next to him, despising Danny. Green used himself as the background, but Wu Dawei still quite agrees with Green's feel outside the three-point line because he found that this "classmate" who entered the league in the same year as him did have extraordinary talents outside the three-point line.
It's just that he hasn't played in the game yet. Danny Green averaged only about 5 minutes of playing time this season, and he can contribute 1.5 points and 1 assist to the Cavaliers...
Such a character can be said to be dispensable in the team. When Dwight Howard first came to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was surprised why the Cavaliers did not transfer him to the low-level league or simply trade him. Later he realized that this was because Danny Green and Wu Dawei had a close personal relationship!
Just like JJ Hicks, the young man who was the most optimistic about LeBron James during the Cavaliers, although his talent is not beyond ordinary in this league, the Cavaliers still cultivate him as a major player!
The NBA League is actually a small society. It is just like you have a good relationship with government officials in society. If you don’t look at monks and Buddhas, this kind of thing exists all over the world.
What's more, for Wu Dawei, leaving behind a player with an annual salary of only 1 million yuan is a drop in the bucket for the Cavaliers boss.
However, through training with Wu Dawei and Danny Green today, Dwight Howard discovered that this player who entered the league in the same year as Wu Dawei was not useless.
At least from the moment, he has outstanding strength outside the three-point line.
But why wasn't he reused by the team's head coach Byron Scott?
Howard was very confused. That was because he only had a dazzling aura from his background. As a superstar who became famous as soon as he entered the league, Dwight Howard certainly could not experience the hardships of the bottom-level players.
It is precisely at this point that Wu Dawei has a deep understanding. The bottom-level players not only need strength, but also need luck and opportunity! Just like Mike James, who has been wandering in many teams, has strong enough strength. During the Raptors' performance of 20 points and 8 assists, he almost snatched the title of the team's boss from Chris Bosh at the time.
It was precisely because he tried to compete with the Raptors for the boss position, Chris Bosh, who was striving for the boss position, so he was finally released by the Raptors... and then he never achieved such a brilliant result.
So, for such players who live at the bottom and have no fame, they need not only strength, but also a great opportunity!
"Honestly, man, I believe what you said!"
Faced with Danny Green's boast about his own strength, Dwight Howard patted his shoulder seriously at this time and said, "You should definitely be a star! You are such a player. Believe me, I have played for so many years and I have seen countless outside shooters, but your strength is definitely top among these people! You are so accurate, my goodness, I believe you will definitely welcome your day!"
Perhaps it is because of the poor record of the Cleveland Cavaliers in recent times that has stimulated Dwight Howard's nerves, which made him inexplicably feel a little sensitive and irritable. However, Dwight Howard's comments on Danny Green are from the bottom of his heart, because he does think that Danny Green has the potential to become an excellent player!
However, Dwight Howard's sudden words made Wu Dawei and Green a little stunned. Because the atmosphere before was still so funny, Dwight Howard was so solemnly brought by Dwight Howard in an instant.
"Uh..." Danny Green was stunned for a moment. He looked around and wanted to say that he was joking, but Dwight Howard continued: "Do not doubt, I'm not joking! You will definitely be the best help on our way to win the championship! Man, first of all, if you really want to succeed, then you must have enough confidence! Opportunities are not something you have to wait for, and you have to fight for!"
Howard shook hands at Greene, and he said that his expression was already a bit ferocious. Perhaps it was because of the thought of the Orlando people's ridicule and teasing attitude towards him yesterday that Dwight Howard could never forget these people's faces that were put on the wrong path.
Is it wrong to strive for victory? This degenerate Orlando cannot bring victory to himself!
Howard's words seemed to be saying to Danny Green, but they were also saying to himself.
Fight for victory and fight for the victory of the Orlando Magic tomorrow night! Let those who once laughed at themselves unbridledly a day ago shut their damn mouths!
At this time, Wu Dawei seemed to feel Dwight Howard's heart. He patted Howard and said to him: "We will definitely win! I mean that we will let Orlando fans see what the dominance of the center is!"
Danny Green stood next to the two team bosses, listening to their expectations for tomorrow night's game, Green's heart surged like a storm. Because the words Dwight Howard said to him made the future in Danny Green's heart brighter!
Another bright light appeared on the road to success, shining on him to move forward in the right direction and strive for opportunities!
Danny Green's mind kept echoing what Dwight Howard said to himself, yes, he wants to fight for opportunities! Instead of waiting endlessly!
The stadium he fantasizes should not only step on when no one watches it. What he wants to make is not just three-pointers in training, but key shots that can determine the outcome of a game!
Howard's words, Wu Dawei's eyes, Danny Green felt a fire burning in his chest! Thinking of his upcoming professional contract, Danny Green had a sense of urgency and a desire for success!
In the training hall at 4 a.m. in Orlando, there was endless silence outside, but the brightness of the hall was not only the lights above the hall, but also the hot chests of Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard and Danny Green!
For victory! For success! For championship! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
