Chapter 975: 318: You don’t understand what GOAT means (Requesting monthly tickets!)_3
Today, Arenas gave the whole League a good lesson: Yes, the King left the dynasty he built. But speak carefully, the majesty of the King is still untouchable.
Halfway through the third quarter, Rudy Tomjanovich substituted Arenas.
Arenas walked off like a lost dog, because he knew this was neither a rotation nor a rest.
This meant the game was over.
At this moment, the score difference had already widened to 33 points, and the game completely entered garbage time.
Although Steve Francis tried hard to regain control, he ultimately didn’t have Yao Ming by his side, only an Arenas who was of no use on the court. Francis couldn’t fight it alone and was no match for the Warriors.
When he was substituted, ESPN displayed Arenas’ stats at the bottom of the live screen, five neat and tidy zeros.
Mike Breen exclaimed, "Roger has redefined the meaning of getting beaten down!"
Rudy Tomjanovich looked at the disheartened Arenas and really worried that this kid’s confidence would be completely destroyed by Roger tonight.
Coach Tomjanovich is a man of principles, but today he told Arenas, "If you want, I can let you score a few points during garbage time."
Even Tomjanovich couldn’t bear seeing Arenas walk off with five zeros. Yes, scoring during garbage time is shameful, but walking off with five zeros is even more disgraceful!
No one will remember a fool who scores during garbage time, but people will always remember the legend of Arenas—the point guard of five zeros.
Arenas leaned on the bench, glanced at Coach, covered his head with a towel, and mumbled, "Playing in garbage time? Don’t look down on me."
His arrogance and pride made him, his arrogance and pride also ruined him.
In the end, Gilbert Arenas didn’t play again, and the Houston Rockets suffered a 78-113 defeat to the Warriors.
On Mike Breen’s computer appeared the data provided by ESPN’s backend, which he was almost unwilling to read out.
"Unfortunately, Gilbert Arenas has become the sixth player in NBA history to play over 20 minutes with all five basic stats as zeros. Oh, and he has one more zero, hanging on his jersey.
Roger demonstrated his dominance; he is still the most unyielding player in this League. History will not repeat itself; Roger will not be the next Michael Jordan.
Or rather, no one can become the next Roger.
This is ESPN, I’m Mike Breen, thank you for watching Roger’s dynasty journey, see you next time."
Roger, who scored 23 points, had 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 blocks, stood up to shake hands and embrace the Rockets players.
When it was Arenas’ turn, Roger patted his head, "Do you know how to speak to me next time? The only possible transition of an era will happen when I retire. Until then Gilbert, please maintain your humility."
Arenas, like a child reprimanded by a teacher, lowered his head, saying nothing.
Was he arrogant? Indeed he was, but his arrogance did not even amount to a tenth of Roger’s.
Yet, Roger still advised him to stay humble.
It can only be said that in this survival-of-the-fittest basketball world, without strength, you can only tuck your tail between your legs.
Afterward, Roger turned around to shake hands with the Warriors’ legends who came to watch the game tonight.
Tom Meschery, who gave up number 14 for Roger, suddenly said sorry.
"Sorry? For what?" Roger looked puzzled.
"I said before, don’t let this number lose face. Now it seems it’s my honor that you wear number 14; this number will only become greater on you. Go ahead, I will write a collection of poems for your journey with the Warriors."
"That’s too exaggerated, Tom."
"Not exaggerated, it’s my way of expressing my apology."
The 02-03 season kicked off with another cold-blooded slaughter by the King. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Roger is still Roger, and everyone knows he absolutely has the ability to make the Warriors better.
After the game, Roger simply did not greet his three rumored girlfriends to avoid the fierce gazes of the other two.
But after returning to the locker room, he still texted Eva Green, "Got time later?"
Roger once read a wise saying in a book: Don’t waste the bad girls; don’t let down the good ones.
So Roger decided to handle them one by one.
After the opening game, as the season deepened, the Warriors still exposed several problems.
The most serious issue is the inside defense of this team is outrageously weak.
You can see Amar’e Stoudemire putting in effort, but some of his defensive choices are laughable.
Sometimes he’d be overly aggressive on the outside leaving the basket unguarded, and at other times he’d stick to the basket giving the opponent a chance for close-range jump shots.
He even needed Hubie Brown to remind him to raise his hands when under the basket.
ESPN commentators ironically said, "Amar’e has excellent physical attributes, but he’s like someone who’s never driven trying to drive a Ferrari, unable to bring out a tenth of that car’s performance."
Stephen Jackson has tried his best to cover for Stoudemire, but he isn’t toilet paper; he can’t be fully responsible for the task of inside defense.
On the bench, Troy Murphy’s defense is even more of a disaster.
This non-mainstream center who likes to float outside and shoot threes greatly fits the stereotype of a white inside player, soft, slow, unable to jump—his average number of three-point attempts even exceeds his rebounds.
