Champion Creed-Chapter 973 - 318: You don’t understand what GOAT means (Requesting monthly votes!)

Roger’s nickname, Agent Zero, is rarely mentioned now because it came from the early days of his career when he often recorded zero assists in games and got the name.

Later, Roger gradually grew into a combo guard, even achieving an unprecedented 35+5+5 stat line in the 99-00 Season, so the nickname naturally faded into history.

But today, Roger has brought this nickname back to life.

You never know what words Roger will use to shame someone. Agent Zero was actually a very cool nickname, but when Roger used it to describe Arenas, whose stats were all zero, the meaning of the nickname changed completely.

Arenas walked toward the sidelines with an intense sense of shame, and Stephen Jackson added: "Back then, you were just zero assists, and he’s entirely zero. So, he should be called Super Agent Zero."

After hearing this, Gilbert Arenas vowed that from now on, he would always keep a gun in the locker room!

In just half a quarter, Warriors fans experienced unprecedented joy.

For many years, the Golden State Warriors were like lambs to the slaughter, any lousy team could walk over them here.

It was thought that bringing in Allan Houston would be the start of a change, but he didn’t help the team overcome its struggles.

Today, the person who can truly help the team out of the slump has appeared.

During the preseason, because Roger’s playing time wasn’t much, and he didn’t give his all, Warriors fans hadn’t yet experienced this exhilaration. freewebnøvel.coɱ

But now, they were ecstatic!

It had been so many years since Warriors fans had seen such a thrilling game.

Although it was just a few possessions, the change Roger brought was already apparent.

Returning to the bench, Hubie Brown shrugged at Roger: "With you like this, these kids won’t develop defense, because you alone solved the most threatening attack point of the opponent."

"Hubie, you can’t develop defense on a lousy team. I don’t know what David Stern is thinking, how can he treat today’s young players like this, arranging for them to lose face in a nationally broadcast game?"

Hubie Brown laughed, as if David Stern were the one beating Arenas.

Back then, weren’t you also arranged to face the returning Jordan, just that you achieved a different outcome.

On the other side, Rudy Tomjanovich felt he probably ought to retire.

Originally, he thought that Houston’s twin guns could lead this team out of the post-Olajuwon era’s gloom, at least let people see a glimmer of hope for emerging from that gloom. But now it seems, in the first game of the new season, the Rockets’ missile test launch is about to fail.

No way, Coach Tom can’t resign on the spot, so he can only patiently guide: "Gilbert, no matter how strong the opponent, you must stay calm. You’ve made too many mistakes, and you can completely control these mistakes! Don’t be nervous, okay? You’ve lost your way!"

What Tomjanovich said wasn’t wrong unless the person receiving these words is Gilbert Arenas.

Sitting on the bench, Arenas frowned, staring hard at Tomjanovich: "Heh, I knew you also look down on me."

Coach Tom: ???

"Listen, Gilbert, this has nothing to do with looking down on you."

"Enough, I’m very clear-headed, save your outdated motivational talk, I don’t need it!"

The timeout ended quickly, and Arenas returned to the court.

Rudy Tomjanovich, the coach who led his team to defeat Roger for the Championship in 1994, doubted life for the first time, and realized for the first time that he didn’t understand basketball or basketball players.

He turned his head to his assistant coach Dean Cooper: "I really want Kermit Washington to come and crack open that jerk’s skull to see what’s inside!?"

Frankly speaking, the whole world knows that Gilbert Arenas’s potential and talent surpass Cattino Mobley, Arenas’s performance after starting last season was enough for him to compete for the Best Rookie award. If it weren’t for his short time starting, the Best Rookie wouldn’t have gone to that Spaniard whose dream is to become a doctor.

So even Tomjanovich didn’t understand why Roger didn’t even bother to try collaborating with Arenas and just traded him, not even trying for half a season? Why did he directly ignore Gilbert Arenas’s talent?

Now Tomjanovich understood.

It’s not a matter of talent or potential.

There are two types of teammates in this world that you can’t have, no matter how strong or potential they might be: one who can’t play and one who is not mentally right.

The game continues, Arenas wants to rally. He’s not someone who gives up easily, regardless of whether he has an inferiority complex, at least every time he feels slighted, or thinks he’s slighted, he will work doubly hard.

This time as well, he decided to work twice as hard to fight back.

The Rockets attack, Gilbert Arenas controls the ball directly, and wants to play one-on-one.

Actually, Arenas isn’t only about using his body, his shooting is much better than some forwards who only rely on their physicality.

Because he gained significant weight this summer, during the preseason Arenas relied too much on using his body to gain an advantage. He believes he developed an inertia in his thinking.

Now, he just needs to be the player he was last season, relying more on skill rather than physicality, and he will surely break the game open.
