One Thousand and Sixty-Eight. It's Not Easy to Be a Role Player

Although I know that Prince has a cold personality, this is too cold!

During the game between the Pistons and the Nets last season, there was a conflict. All the players on the court of the Pistons got entangled with each other, but Prince sat quietly on the technical table and did not participate.

Such things have happened two or three times, as Sun Ce saw from the news. In the Auburn Hills Palace incident that year, Prince was also a little prince quietly, watching his teammates and opponents conflict and fight.

But the strange thing is that Prince's relationship with his teammates is not affected. On the contrary, he has a very good relationship with the two hot-tempered teammates, the Wallaces.

Even the Pistons' prince Ji is very close to Prince, and Hamilton has a good relationship with Prince.

Now it's just the first time to contact Prince as a teammate, and Sun Ce understands why.

Even if there is a conflict and fight in the first preseason game against Real Madrid in a few days, Sun Ce will not find it strange if Prince does not come to help.

Because this guy really doesn't like fighting from the bottom of his heart, his personality is cold from the inside out.

Sun Ce felt that he had another weird teammate... but it was OK as long as he was good, and Prince was very polite, with a cold personality but not a bad personality.

Teacher Tony didn't want to pay attention to Sun Ce, and an experienced veteran teammate came, and Teacher Tony was also humbly asking for advice.

Sun Ce left the locker room sadly, and happened to meet Robin Lopez who was returning to the locker room.

Little Lopez gave Sun Ce a warm hug: "Hey, Lord, you are finally back. It's great to be able to partner with you. Do you remember the two dunks you passed to me in the first game..."

The two knew each other for a long time. Although they didn't communicate much later, at most they high-fived and hugged before the game, but Little Lopez was a natural person, and with two old teammates, Nash and Sun Ce, he got to know other teammates as soon as he came to the team.

"I didn't expect that we could actually invite you back, but your inside teammates are all very strong, you have to work harder."

"Of course, although I can't compare with you, I still train very hard, and I just want to win the championship, so you don't have to worry about my playing time, I will fight for it myself."

After chatting with an old friend who just entered the NBA, Lopez Jr. went to do his own thing.

Lopez Jr. is as enthusiastic and positive as ever. Sun Ce has always had a good impression of Lopez Jr. He thinks it is a blessing to have such a teammate who is full of energy and willing to do dirty work and does not complain.

However, Sun Ce felt that he was alone and no one cared about him!

Everyone had something to do, so Sun Ce went to find another teammate. When he passed by the training ground, Sun Ce saw a new teammate he had forgotten...Jae Crowder!

And Crowder and Jimmy Butler were training together, and it was Jimmy Butler who was instructing him!

Sun Ce went up and hooked Jimmy Butler's shoulder: "Little Jimmy, long time no see... Hello, Jay, I'm Sun Ce, just call me Noah."

Little Jimmy... Jimmy Butler was numb to this name: "Long time no see."

He had repeatedly emphasized that he was three months older than Sun Ce, but Sun Ce ignored his emphasis. Over time, Jimmy Butler got used to this name.

Sun Ce was very satisfied that Jimmy Butler recognized this name, but Crowder surprised Sun Ce.

Sun Ce came to say hello, but Claude stretched out his hand and shook Sun Ce's hand in a very awkward manner: "Hello, Lord, nice to meet you."

"..."Sun Ce stared at Claude... Is this the guy with a hot temper in his impression, who defended from one to four in the small ball era?

As the best defensive player in the Big East Division and a first-team player, and a second-team player selected by the Associated Press, at the age of 22, his combat effectiveness should be pretty good, but he was not highly rated during the draft because he was a thorn in college.

Does this look a bit like a thorn?

Forget it for now, Sun Ce asked Jimmy Butler: "What were you talking about just now?"

"Jay asked me how to get playing time." Jimmy Butler answered honestly.

"..."Sun Ce was speechless. Who else should he ask? Jimmy?

This guy can't even get playing time himself, but Nash and Battier may have more rests this season, so Jimmy should have more opportunities to play.

Before Sun Ce continued to ask questions, Jimmy Butler continued: "Through my observation, I think we must strive for playing time, and we must have characteristics!"

This made Sun Ce interested, and he looked at Jimmy Butler's ability evaluation.

"Jimmy Butler, ability evaluation C+, offense C, defense B, three-pointer C-, mid-range shot B-, layup B+..."

The mid-range shot has improved so fast!

This guy has been practicing mid-range shots crazily in the past year! He has actually reached the quasi-good level, but the three-pointer has not improved that much.

Of course, the quasi-good level is not good, but at least it is much better than Sun Ce's impression that the second grade only knows how to use the body to cut in or rush for offensive rebounds and only relies on vitality to play.

Jimmy Butler is a player who accumulates a lot of experience. The foundation is very important. Only after the foundation is laid, can he get better and better.

And defense has reached a good level! Unlike this time last year, Jimmy Butler can't do anything, not even use the body to defend, and only knows how to confront.

If he were to change to an ordinary playoff team or a non-playoff team, Jimmy Butler would already have the strength to be a rotation player! For example, Sun Ce's old teammate CJ Watson would not have to worry about losing his job.

However, in their Grizzlies team, it is still not enough, and he needs to work hard to get playing time.

Jimmy Butler continued to say when Sun Ce observed his ability evaluation: "When Sean taught me, he found that I was not suitable for his style of play, but more suitable for mid-range shooting + defense, so I worked hard to practice mid-range shooting and defense, and Jay is more like Klay..."

Listening to Jimmy's analysis, Sun Ce didn't expect that this guy who looked like a wooden head actually thought of so much!

Jimmy is going to become a mid-range shooting version of Tony!

Although the mid-range shooting is average and the defense is okay, the direction of improvement is very clear. If the three-pointer can't be developed, the mid-range shooting will be developed!

People are forced out! Sun Ce once again felt the difficulty of role players... Although he has never felt it before.

The direction of a player's progress is based on the needs of the team. Jimmy grew into an all-around player in the Bulls because Rose was played by Thibodeau. The Bulls need an outside core, but in the Grizzlies, it is obvious that Thompson and George are more likely to get shooting opportunities. In order to get more opportunities, Jimmy is trying to adapt to the team, and he has been very successful!

I am very satisfied with Jimmy's progress, but Sun Ce looked at Claude who kept nodding next to him. What's wrong with this guy?
