Guard With a Knife

The three rookies Dug, Joel Anthony, and Mario Chalmers failed to escape this customary rule. 【】Starting from Dwyane Wade, everyone took out their car keys and asked Doug and others to go to the parking lot to carry the bag back.

This is similar to an induction ceremony for newcomers.

Therefore, Duge didn't resist, and he carried five bags back in a hurry.

He thought it was over.

I don't know, I just returned to my position.

Snapped!

A key flew to his feet, and then Dai Quinn Cook's voice came: "Rookie, I still have a pair of slippers in the car, go and get them for me."

Doug raised his head, and he looked at the condescending Dai Quinn Cook.

"Didn't you hear me? Bring me my slippers and socks." Dai Quinn's voice raised an octave.

This made the other players in the locker room look sideways.

It is neither common nor uncommon in the NBA to let a rookie get slippers and socks.

Marion asked Dae Quinn Cook to do this last season. At that time, Cook ran out quickly, causing everyone to laugh.

Now, Daequan Cook is a sophomore. He felt that he was also qualified to let the rookie do this.

Therefore, his target is locked on the No. 8 pick who made him embarrassed in the summer league.

He had been planning this matter early in the morning. He planned to ask Snoopy to get his slippers, and then drive to the city to buy himself a half-rare steak and lemon juice without ice, and wait until the afternoon After training, he also plans to throw all his clothes into the ice bucket while Snoopy goes to the bathroom to take a shower, and let him drive back to Miami naked: These are the things he experienced last year, and he can't wait He wanted to impose it on Snoopy who had pissed him off.

However, there is still a difference between the No. 8 pick and the No. 21 pick.

Doug picked up the key, walked to the door, and threw the key directly into the trash can.

Then, calmly told Cook: "Littering is not a good thing, I hope there will be no next time."

Daequan Cook was irritated by this rookie at the time,

He clenched his fist and hit Doug hard. Doug made the first flash.

When Haslem and others quickly came over to try to persuade them to fight. Duge grabbed Cook's second heavy punch with one hand, then grabbed him directly with his backhand, pinched his neck and walked towards the door.

Dai Quinn Cook's body of nearly two hundred kilograms had no way to break free.

boom!

boom!

Doug grabbed his head and slammed it into the trash can, smashing it hard twice, and the team members who rushed over quickly rescued Dai Quinn Cook.

"Listen clearly. I'm here to play ball, not to be a slave to anyone." Doug told Dai Quinn Cook with a calm face, and also told everyone: "If there is another time, I will stuff you whole Into the trash."

Doug didn't rant loudly with bravado, he was calm throughout.

This quietness has a huge impact on everyone: people don't talk too much.

Ten minutes later, Pat Riley came over and called Doug to his makeshift office, hoping for an explanation.

Duger also gave him an explanation: "My parents gave me the best education and the best living environment since I was a child. They hoped that I would become a person with self-respect, self-love and isolated personality. I formed under this kind of elite education. With my current character, I can give backpacks to the old players and regard it as a kind of inheritance. But I can’t stand a player who is showing off his power and throws the key at my feet at random, asking me to pick it up and get him socks and slippers. It's not locker room culture, it's bullying, it's oppression."

Pat Riley is a self-proclaimed gentleman, Doug's words have been recognized by him, and his tone is much softer: "Even so, you can't beat him."

"Everyone saw that he hit me first and I fought back when he punched me the second time. Even the law allows that."

Doug has a point.

What else can Pat Riley say, after Doug leaves. He called Dae Quinn Cook to the office, scolded him, and reminded him to pay attention to his identity. Snoopy is the lottery pick I personally selected.

The tendency of this sentence is self-evident.

Daequan Cook left the office with a bleak expression on his face, realizing that he had been beaten for nothing and that the team would never deal with the 'culprit'.

When he returned to the training ground, there was little sympathy for him. After all, this incident was indeed the one he provoked first.

...

After a thirty-minute warm-up. The coaching staff came over to announce the grouping. This season's grouping is still the same as last season, divided into guard group, forward group, and center group.

Before announcing the roster, Dwyane Wade, who was trying to ease the gloomy atmosphere caused by the brawl, quickly suggested: "Listen, we should put Snoopy in the guard group. He is an ace point guard."

This stalk attracted everyone to echo and laugh.

There was kindness and mockery in those laughs.

But no one was directly sarcastic, because Doug had just used Dai Quinn Cook's head to prove that he was not a man to mess with. And he can play well.

Doug also laughed twice.

He felt that he did a good job in 'Liwei' today.

At least, after the warm-up training just now, no one asked himself to pour drinks anymore. The job went to Joel Anthony and Mario Chalmers.

After the laughter, Spoelstra announced the group list. Doug was assigned to the striker group.

This assignment surprised everyone. They originally thought that the No. 8 pick should be assigned to the center group with a shortage of personnel. After all, he was playing the starting center before. Dwyane Wade even asked Spoelstra in confusion: "Is there a mistake?"

Spoelstra replied: "This is the group list drawn up by the president himself."

This answer made everyone stop questioning.

However, all the people in the forward group frowned. What the hell does Pat Riley mean? Put so many people in the forward group, and there are only two places in total. Do you want us to fight?

Although after a long offseason, the first day of training was mainly restorative training, Duger still felt strong competitiveness in the forward group. Everyone was doing their best to impress the forward group. Assistant coaches who work out, and then get a little playing time from Sean Marion, Michael Beasley, Haslem.

This kind of competition cannot be seen in the Bruins. After all, in the final analysis, they are still playing for the school. But here, everyone is fighting for themselves, for money.

After the training, Ronald Hayden, who was in charge of training the forward group, walked into Pat Riley's office. He reported Snoopy's training results to the president: "He is not very suitable for the training of the forward group. Our training content today It is mainly based on cutting off the ball. But his running ability is not good enough, he is more suitable for short and quick movements in the paint area. If you want to exercise him, I think it is better to let him train in the guard group."

"No, he can't adapt to the guard group yet, let him practice in the forward group first, and report the latest situation to me at any time."

Pat Riley said.

He has very high expectations for Duger, and he hopes that Duger can learn more comprehensive skills in the forward group.
