His home team is Duke. Some people say that "Duke products must be high-quality products." Of course, Duke is not Blizzard, but it is true to say that their quality is indeed first-class. The players who graduated from here are firmly imprinted with the characteristics of those who played at that time.
The imprint of playing in college is that they advocate teamwork and cooperation. They are irreproachable good players in Fiba, NBA and CBA, and most players have not changed about this since.
As a player with a noble background and elegant demeanor, he can also put on a fierce performance on the court at any time. Therefore, in his first season in the NBA, he was selected as the main player in the Eastern Conference All-Star Game as the All-Star vote leader.
In that season, his 20+5+5 statistics and performance allowed people to see the emergence of a powerful idol, allowing people to find a new successor to Jordan. At the end of the season, he and Kidd shared the
The Rookie of the Year award is well-deserved for them. It is a pity that he did not enter the playoffs that year. But it is not his fault because he has done a good job.
But competitive sports are cruel, and one accident changed his entire life.
When the playoffs were approaching, he was young and energetic. In order to prove that his playing style was gorgeous but not weak, he played with injuries. As a result, his ankle injury worsened and he was forced to leave the game midway. From then on, his career changed.
, he is no longer the majestic and omnipotent All-Star on the court, but has become a glass man who appears at home in suits all year round.
He is Trent Hill, a genius ruined by injuries.
When Edison told him fiercely what he wanted to talk about this morning, Hill felt as if his brain had been hit hard by a basketball, and he was a little bit confused. Edison used to have a good relationship with him, but
After all, he is the head coach of the team now. A staff member may pity him, but it is absolutely impossible for a head coach to accept a highly paid player sitting in the audience all day long, and the current players on the team are playing so well.
It seems that he is no longer needed at all. Could it be said that his time in Orlando is coming to an end? Although he is very unhappy staying here, if he is really driven away, Hill still feels that he cannot accept it.
Hill came to Edison's office in a daze. He had no idea how he came up, how he knocked on the door, or how he entered the room. He was like a zombie.
When Hill came to Edison, Edison was still covering his face with an ice pack.
"Come, Grant, sit down. I didn't expect you to come here so early." Edison covered his face and greeted Hill warmly.
"Okay, coach, what exactly did you call me to say?" Although Hill was absent-minded, melancholy and complaining outside the door, his heart was extremely depressed and heavy. But when he came to Edison,
Instead, I saw everything and let go of all the baggage, feeling particularly free and easy.
"It's like this, Grant, although you haven't played for a long time, you are still the biggest name in this team after all, so I still have to tell you about certain things in advance to avoid unnecessary conflicts."
After hearing this, Hill thought to himself, "Have I finally said something serious? Is everything inevitable? Do I really have no value?"
Although Hill's mood was very complicated, he still responded forcefully, "Okay, if you have anything to say, it's fine. In fact, I've got a rough idea." Hill's toughness was not pretended;
As a man, after experiencing so much, he has become very strong and strong.
When Edison heard this, Hill guessed it and thought it would be much easier to handle, so he said happily, "You have made preparations, that's great. Grant, look at our current lineup, Nash organizes the offense,
Iguodala is responsible for defense and connection, Marion provides far-end firepower and assisting defense, Josh attacks inside, and Howard guards the penalty area. To be honest, even if you regain 100% of your strength, you are not here.
position. What’s more, your situation is still very uncertain now.”….
After hearing this, Hill let out a long breath, laughed at himself, and then said helplessly, "It's pretty much what I expected. Paul, just tell me where you plan to send me."
"I plan to send you to..., to? Grant, what do you mean by this?" Edison suddenly heard the question in Hill's words.
"What do you mean, aren't you going to send me away? You have already confirmed the deal, just like you did in the summer."
"Who said I was going to send you away? The heroine of this book can't be changed, but the supporting actor must be you." Edison was very surprised after hearing what Hill said. He was a little confused about the situation.
I don't know how Hill came up with this idea.
Hill, after hearing what Edison said, the two-foot-long monk was confused. He replied doubtfully, "Isn't that what you just said? You said there is no place for me here. Is that what you just said?"
"Hey, you're overthinking. What I mean is that you are definitely no longer in the starting lineup. I'm not saying that the Magic team no longer has your position. Oops, what's going on? You misunderstood what I said.
.”
After hearing Edison's words, Hill's already frozen heart felt a little like melting. He looked at Edison doubtfully, "You mean..."
At this time, Edison no longer pretended to be a big-tailed wolf behind his desk. He sat on the sofa opposite Hill, looked at Hill sincerely, and explained with a little anxiety and panic.
"To be honest with you, Trent, I have never thought about trading you, at least not now or before. No one can guarantee what will happen in the future. After all, this is the NBA, this is a professional arena, and we all
I work for people. But now, let’s just say that I really don’t have this intention, and I have never thought about it.”
What Edison said was very sincere and realistic. Hill felt that it was very credible. Besides, there was no need for Edison to lie to himself about this matter.
"I came to you today because I want to discuss something with you. I hope that after your comeback, you can give up your main position and be our sixth man to lead the substitute lineup."
When Edison spoke, he stared into Hill's eyes. He saw that Hill was a little confused, so he explained further.
"Trant, you also know the current personnel configuration of our team very well. The five starting main players, as I have just said, their five positions are very fixed. It can be said that if there is no accident, I will not do it again.
There have been changes, and I am very relieved about them. What I am worried about is the substitute lineup after the main players come off the field. Our current substitutes have big problems. First of all, they lack experience. Although they are very aggressive and the players are good, their
Due to lack of experience, I often cannot control the situation and cannot make adjustments on my own when problems arise. Secondly, my organizational skills are not good. I believe you have seen the previous game against the Mavericks. Among our current substitutes, the only one who can organize is Boris.
Once the opponent has a defensive strongman on the bench, it is easy to freeze him, and then our bench will become like a headless fly. This is running around with brute force. There is no way I can let Nash play for 48 minutes.
Finally, none of our substitutes has a particularly stable scoring point. Among the current strong teams in the league, the Spurs have Ginobili, the Mavericks have Stackhouse, and the Pacers have Stephen Jackson, but none of our substitutes are stable.
Reliable scoring point. Based on the above three reasons, I think it will be very effective if you play as a substitute, which is very suitable for our team's tactics. You have experience, organizational skills, and as long as you recover, you will be able to do this.
No one in the alliance can say that they will be able to stop you."
Hill nodded secretly after listening to Edison's words. The current situation of the team is indeed as Edison said. Playing as a substitute himself will indeed be very effective and can have a chain reaction...
But everyone is greedy, and they all have to look forward to the next day, and they like to eat what is in the bowl and watch what is in the pot. Hill is no exception. Since he is not going to replace himself, then why can't he be the starter and have to be a substitute?
ah.
When Edison saw Hill's expression change, he knew what Hill was thinking and knew that he was not willing to be a substitute, so he added another weight.
"Grant, we have an honest conversation today, so everyone tells the truth. Maybe what I say will be harsh and make you uncomfortable, but you have to know that what I say is true and there are no empty heads.
In fact, your body is no longer suitable for playing the main force. I think your legs may no longer be able to support you and the opponent's main force."
After hearing this, Hill suddenly raised his head, looked into Edison's eyes, and pinched his knees hard with both hands. Edison saw all these small actions of his, and although he thought it was cruel, there was nothing wrong with it.
Still need to make it clear.
"Trant, I won't say more about your situation in the past few years since you came to the Magic. Everyone knows it, and you yourself understand it. Although it is unfortunate and I feel sorry for it, some things have happened, and we must
There is nothing you can do about accepting him. No one can guarantee how much strength your knee can withstand now, and I think you should know this."
When Hill heard this, he closed his eyes in pain, as if resisting Edison's words, but Edison knew that he was listening carefully.
"Every team now has an outside defensive backbone. If they start, they will directly face them. Whether you can persist in such a high-intensity confrontation and how long you can persist, we don't know. What if you do it again?
If you get injured, your career may be over. But if you give up the starting lineup and switch to the bench, you can avoid the limelight, gain more space, and be less confrontational, which is important for maintaining your career.
Your sports career will be of great benefit. Besides, the sixth man has always played a very important role in the game. No one will underestimate the sixth man. Their use as substitutes is not a matter of personal strength, but of team tactics.
Everyone knows this about the arrangement. Okay, that’s all I have to say. You go back and think about it yourself. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. If you don’t accept it, then we will tell the truth. Maybe
You really have no place here. Of course you can take this as a threat, but I have no selfish motives. This is all for the future of the Magic team. I hope you can understand."
After hearing what Edison said, Hill patted his face hard and said, "Okay, coach, I'll go back and think about it by myself, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."
Edison nodded after hearing this, then sent Hill off, and then applied cold compress to his injured face.
