Donovan was a little dissatisfied. He waved his hand and called McDermott, asking him to go to the technical stage to prepare for the game, replacing Monk.
The poor guy was pushed back to the bench not long after he came on the field.
During the game time, Donovan didn't have time to communicate with him much, so he just asked him to sit there and calm down first.
The Teammatess around him didn't have much conversation with him. Monk had no choice but to cover his head with a towel and sit there in frustration.
He thought that those few goals just now were just bad Touch. If he was given a few more chances, he would definitely score.
However, Thunder is not Hornets after all. As a Starting Lineup strong team with a deep bench, there are many high-level players waiting for the opportunity to play. They will not change their strategies for the sake of a young man like him. Only he can adapt to it.
As time goes by, the game gradually comes to an end.
Donovan didn't just push Monk to death on the bench, Second Half still sent him to the stage.
But before going on stage, I mentioned it a little more.
"Share the ball more, Basketball is a sport for five people."
After all, he got Kennard, a potential shooter, in exchange for him. Donovan is still willing to train him more.
Second Half, Monk played much more honestly. He shot the ball when he should, passed the ball when he should, and stopped playing randomly. Even if he didn't score, Donovan would not replace him because of this.
Soon after, the game ended, Thunder 104 beat Grizzlies 91.
Wade made 5 of 13 shots, Three-Pointer made 1 of 3 shots, Free Throw scored 4 of 4 and scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
Deron 7 made 2 shots, Three-Pointer 2 made 0 shots, and Free Throw 2 made 2 shots, scoring 6 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists.
Monk made 3 of 10 shots and Three-Pointer made 1 of 3, scoring 7 points and 1 assist.
Chen Xi efficiently tossed the towel three times, handed out water six times, stood up and high-fived Teammates eight times, and won the super three orders!
After the game, Donovan sat in the office and watched the game video.
Overall, the performance of the three new players was pretty good.
Especially Wade, who is 36 years old and can still perform like this, is already pretty good. After all, he has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. He had a meniscus removed before entering League. What else can you ask of him?
In addition to being very efficient, Wade is also the fastest among the three to integrate into the team.
Firstly, he has a good relationship with the core of the team, and secondly, his technical characteristics can be matched with Butler Westbrook.
As for Deron, take your time, this is only the second game, don't be in a hurry.
As for Monk, Donovan has actually given up in his heart and doesn't expect him to be of any help to the team this season. He is still too immature.
You can cultivate it first, and Regular season will be fine. If Playoffs wants to appear, it is basically impossible.
This year Thunder Team's goal is to win the championship, and there is not much time to train new players.
Under such circumstances, Monk's good days are basically gone.
When the team is fully adjusted and starts to get back on track and launches an impact on the record, he may not even be able to keep Regular season's playing time.
But as for the future, it's hard to say.
After the two-year championship window has passed, we can also give him some appropriate resources to see if he can grow.
If he really seizes the opportunity and takes advantage of it, then no matter whether it is trading or using it for himself, there will be no loss.
Anyway, he is still Rookie Contract now. During the four-year period of Rookie Contract, he will not have much salary pressure and plenty of room for maneuver.
On February 13th, Thunder played against Cavaliers at home.
This game was hailed as the most worth-watching Basketball event this week before the game.
The last dispute between Cavaliers and Thunder, the meeting again between Chen Xi and JR Smith, and another conversation between Wade and James after their separation and reunion.
After completing the transaction, Cavaliers performed well in the field.
Although Love was injured, James used his super high level to show League that he can still be very strong without the star Teammates.
Of course, most people are still pessimistic about whether Playoffs can go far.
Chen Xi stood on the sidelines warming up, waiting for the Starting Lineups of Cavaliers to appear.
He's going to play tonight.
In the match against Cavaliers, Donovan would not be so ambitious as to continue training.
After the transaction, Starting Lineup of Cavaliers became James, George·Hill, JR, Osman, TT.
The game begins.
TT jumped to get the ball, James received the ball and moved it to Frontcourt.
After Irving Isaiah Thomas Rose and others were sent away one after another, LeBron James moved to the point guard position again.
Old Zhang holds the ball to Frontcourt to organize the offense. According to his habit in recent years, at the beginning of the game, he will give priority to passing the ball to Teammates. Let's see how Touch is doing with a few Teammates.
Thompson made a screen for JR at Baseline. After the latter bypassed it, he slipped out from Baseline, came to a 45-degree angle, and received the pass from James, Three-Point Shot.
Huh~~
To Old Zhang's satisfaction, JR's Touch tonight looks okay.
Three-Pointer ball, just raise your hand and there it is, Swished Through the Net.
Thunder ball rights.
Chen Xi serves to Westbrook.
Turtle Turtle passed the midfield with the ball and came outside the Three-Pointer line. Facing the defense of George·Hill, he did not choose to hit hard. Instead, he waved to Pick-and-Roll from Little Sabonis. After the breakthrough, he passed the ball to Pop Out Little Sabonis.
Sabonis, outside the Three-Pointer line, raise your hand Shot.
TT can't prevent it from getting out, so it can only watch Little Sabonis Three-Point Shot.
Huh~~
The ball went in, 3 to 3.
At the request of the team, Sabonis deliberately increased Three-Pointer's ball training, and often practiced with Chen Xi. The current level of Three-Pointer is pretty good.
Back to Cavaliers's attack Possession.
James holds the ball to Frontcourt, waits for Osman to lift it up to Pick-and-Roll, then breaks through, enters Mid-range, faces Gordon's top defense, and throws the ball back to the outside.
Osman catches the ball Three-Point Shot.
Dang!!
Three-Pointer Easily Brick.
Basketball popped out of the frame and was picked up by Westbrook by leaping high.
Osman, this player said that he is taller than 3D.
To put it bluntly, he has neither 3 nor d.
Of course, as the ordinary Starting Lineup Rotation, it can still be used to deal with the ordinary Regular season.
But in a duel between teams of this level Thunder Cavaliers, it seems a bit unsatisfactory.
Butler, who had just switched defense, pushed forward immediately. Osman tried to use his height to make a strong shot, but was interfered with as expected.
This is because the ability to read the defense is lacking.
Basketball In this sport, talent determines the lower limit, and basketball IQ determines the upper limit.
After Westbrook captured Rebound, it quickly started and Thunder launched a defensive counterattack.
After coming to Frontcourt, he used the familiar starting position.
Chen Xi Move up for pick and roll Pop Out, outside ball, Face-Up Isolation George·Hill.
Chen Xi made a very decisive choice, directly dropped the ball to break through, used the speed of the first step to squeeze out half of his body, and then quickly stopped and pulled back, collected the ball and took off.
