What were you doing when you were 17?

In high school, your parents prepared three meals every day, and every teacher urged you to study hard.

Basketball? That's just a pastime in my spare time.

The most exciting thing you have ever done at this time is to secretly go online to the 3D area to find some imported learning materials...

And Milicic's 17-year-old is more exciting than most people.

At the age of 17, he had already gone to a foreign country, without any friends, and entered the best basketball league in the world under the name of the emperor's beloved son.

In his imagination, he will shine on the biggest stage in the world. He will write his basketball life here. He will shock with his amazing talent like his idol Kevin Garnett.

The world, conquer the fans with your enchanting dance.

Hard special:???

Are you sure this person you are talking about is me?

However, the reality is not like this.

He is called a genius, but the head coach does not trust him. He stays on the bench every day and plays five minutes in garbage time. When he plays, the team is either losing or winning. It doesn't matter whether he is there or not.

.

Fans made fun of him, calling him the "Human Victory Cigar."

He was angry, but helpless. The teammates here would not be like his classmates in school. The professional competition was extremely cruel, because if he rose to the top, it meant that others would not be able to eat.

At the age of 17, he needs encouragement and guidance, but the head coach will just call him a softie over and over again and give him a blank stare.

During a game, he accidentally broke his hand. He walked to the sidelines and told the coach that he was injured. But the coach didn't say a word and just pushed him back onto the court.

What's even more embarrassing is that the team won the championship without him making any contribution!

For a time, the label of second place in the parallel import list was slapped on him. A 17-year-old kid with a language barrier and no friends was ridiculed by the United States. He became disheartened, and his love for basketball was slowly worn away.

Finally, he became depressed.

Since he is not needed on the basketball court, why should he work hard?

He became addicted to alcohol and nightclubs, and even smelled of alcohol during training. But the coach no longer cared about it. Even if he didn't come to training, the coach wouldn't care.

In this way, the most golden years of his basketball career were completely delayed.

A basketball player's technical level is the same as his height.

After that stage, it will basically not rise again.

You can't say that my growth is slow and I only started to grow after the age of 27, right?

Comforting yourself is not so comforting.

The same goes for basketball level. After the golden years, progress becomes very slow.

What's more, he has lost his passion for basketball, so he is just getting by in the league.

Although he can occasionally perform amazing performances, such as scoring a 23-16 double-double in front of the championship twin towers of Bynum and Gasol, or taking advantage of the No. 1 pick Griffin who wanted to dunk on everyone's head.

, tell him that I was also a genius back then, so don’t do this with me.

But none of these have any effect. No one believes in him anymore. He no longer believes in this league or basketball. Maybe he no longer believed in basketball when he was on the bench at the age of 17.

Finally one day, he returned to his hometown with tens of millions of dollars and completely stayed away from basketball.

People have almost forgotten him. His name is only remembered occasionally in people's casual chats.

Occasionally, a reporter would interview him and ask him how he felt about his time in the NBA. He recalled the summer when he was 17 years old, being trampled over and over again by the coach on the training ground, and smiled reluctantly: "I don't want to play basketball anymore.

"

This is probably the entire portrayal of Milicic's career in the original history.

A basketball career that was doomed to tragedy from the beginning.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Milicic received the attention of the coaching staff as soon as he joined the team, and because he is no longer ranked second, there is no messy attention that troubles him.

More importantly, the core of this team is also an international player!

Like himself, he has experienced the whole process from language barrier to being incompatible, to killing everyone.

With him guiding him from the front, 17-year-old Milicic seemed to have found a way forward.

They won together and cheered together, and he gradually became more passionate about basketball.

As a result, the current Milicic who is completely different from the original history was born.

No one thought that the focus of this focus battle on November 9th would not be Yao Ming, Li Ang and Carter, but Milicic!

When the game was paused, everyone was praising Milicic and this European genius.

His performance on the defensive end in these rounds has been quite amazing.

After all, the Suns have never been so suppressed on the offensive end so far this season.

This wave of bulls really makes people’s eyes brighten.

On the bench, Artest shamelessly patted his chest: "Hey, it's nothing. I defended Li Ang to no avail. This is my normal operation. You really don't need to praise me. After all, I played last season."

Best Defensive Player."

After Artest finished speaking, he glanced at Yao Ming, only to find that Yao Ming ignored him at all and patted Milicic on the shoulder: "Well done, Darko, you are a real talent!"

Milicic smiled and clenched his fists.

This young and energetic young man thinks he can do better.

"Ah this..." Artest realized with a sense of crisis that he had fallen out of favor!

The bull tyrant's heart was captured by that younger guy.

Yao Ming, you have changed. Have you forgotten the time at the press conference when I made you laugh so much that you turned into an emoticon?

Huh, the game is still long anyway.

I will continue to let you see who is the real defensive gate.

When the game restarted, Milicic was very confident, Artest was confident, and the Bulls were quite confident now anyway.

The camera turned to Li Ang, and the NBA and Olympic double MVP remained calm.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s only 6 minutes, isn’t that something that can be done in minutes?

After discovering that this time it was Li Ang who held the ball for half the game, Scales even smiled.

He succeeded, which shows that he successfully contained the Suns' seven-second offense.

In Skiles' view, the seven-second attack is a more terrifying tactic than Li Ang's one-star shot.

As long as the seven-second offense is contained, the Suns' offense will not be that strong.

You can contain a team, but you can't contain a single person?

Li Ang walked outside the three-point line, and Artest was ready.

Li Ang originally thought that he could use a simple change of direction to get past the defensive player who was not allowed to take action, as he had done with other opponents before.

However, when Li Ang did this, Artest took a step laterally in time, then puffed up his chest and forced Li Ang to stop.

Artest may be one of the few players who can compete with Li Ang at the third position without falling behind.

He successfully prevented Li Ang's breakthrough!

Needless to say, although Artest has been cut, his defense is not without merit.

It was the same in the original history. Although he never won DPOY again in the future, Artest was a recognized defensive champion until the Lakers won two consecutive championships.

It can only be said that the new rules have made Artest's defense no longer so abnormal, but it is still among the first level in the league.

After being forced to stop by Artest's body, Li Ang was not in a hurry, but turned around.

Just when Artest was about to move laterally to block Li Ang's turn, Li Ang, who turned around and faced the frame again, suddenly changed direction in the opposite direction and passed by Artest!

Artest was stunned for a moment, when did Li Ang change so quickly?

On the defensive end, Artest has never seen a striker change direction so quickly.

You know, the last time the two sides fought, Li Ang's speed attribute was not that high.

Therefore, Artest has never faced off against the faster Li Ang.

For the first time, Li Ang gave Artest a kick.

After passing Artest, Li Ang went straight to the penalty area.

Because when playing one-star four-shot, Stoudemire and O'Neill were both in the middle distance of the two bottom corners. Therefore, for a moment, the basket was undefended.

Yao Ming definitely can't go back, but Milicic can!

He tried his best to run back. If he could cover Li Ang, Milicic would have become famous in one battle today.

Li Ang jumped to an astonishing height with a slight leap.

Of course, Milicic is no less generous. After all, he is someone who can risk Uncle Mu's hooks straight up and down. Milicic's air defense height is also very scary.

In the air, Milicic's palm touched the basketball.

but......

The basketball was not slapped away, but instead pressed Milicic's hand and smashed the ball into the basket!

"Leon dunked on someone else, and Li Ang taught the second-year Darko a good lesson! Be careful to avoid the demigods when they appear! Hahaha, after this dunk, it's probably time for Darko to apologize to Li Ang again."

The on-site commentator joked, and Li Ang roared after scoring. This goal completely revived the Suns' morale, which had been extinguished.
