Chapter 974: 318: You don’t understand what GOAT means (Requesting monthly votes!)_2 Gilbert Arenas alternated dribbling with his left and right hand beyond the three-point line, looking for a chance to upset Roger’s balance. But in the end, he didn’t move left or right, instead, he suddenly stepped back, making a jump shot from a step beyond the three-point line! With the arrival of Arenas, the league added another player besides Roger who likes to shoot threes while holding the ball. Arenas feels even better shooting threes off the dribble than catching and shooting. All his buzzer-beater threes are self-made, including that classic turnaround celebration three. However, Roger’s defensive focus was razor-sharp, and he aggressively blocked the shot at the moment Arenas stepped back to shoot. Combined with his height and wingspan advantage, Roger completely covered Arenas, making it an extremely difficult shot in a confined space. The basketball bounced off the rim; Gilbert Arenas still didn’t score! In simple terms, the Great General is not only lacking physically from his peak. But is in a state of all-around weakness. His level of physical confrontation hasn’t reached the point of dominating the guard line, and his shooting isn’t yet impeccable. In fact, even at his peak, Gilbert Arenas could never have gained much advantage over Roger. Some groups often used the term “Little LeBron” to obscure LeBron James’s early career frailty, yet even Little LeBron knocked out the Wizards led by the Great General three consecutive years in the playoffs. Tomjanovich looked at Arenas’ inexplicable shot and felt that he could never lead the Houston Rockets back to their peak. If the Houston Rockets really intend to build a team centered around Steve Francis and Gilbert Arenas, the only thing Rudy Tomjanovich could do is resign. After Arenas’ missed shot, Stoudemire secured the defensive rebound, and the Warriors advanced without haste. The Warriors’ offense wasn’t as fast as the Hawks’, because Hubie Brown believed overly emphasizing fast breaks would make players lax on defense. Some shots could have been contested, but are given up due to thoughts of fast breaks. Some rebounds could have been secured, but are lost due to thoughts of fast breaks. The Warriors don’t reject counterattacks but won’t deliberately engage in a seven-second offense. This is quite normal; in the entire history of the NBA, only Mike D’Antoni loves playing seven-second offense. So this time the Warriors again engaged the Rockets in a half-court battle, Allan Houston easily ran to an open position, Roger delivered the ball on time, and Houston calmly hit the mid-range shot. In these recent plays, Roger seemed to be in complete control without needing to force star plays to control the offense completely. After experiencing a season as the main playmaker in the seven-second offense, Roger has made significant progress in organizing plays. And this season, with Spoelstra, who started as Roger’s personal video editor, as an old acquaintance, Roger gained a lot of top point guard game tape analyses during training camp. He is better at mobilizing the whole team, with more accurate timing for passing. In traditional basketball philosophy, the combo guard is considered unorthodox. You should either focus entirely on scoring or be completely selfless. Look at Allen Iverson; even though he’s under 185 cm tall, Larry Brown pushed him to the second position to specialize in scoring. But Roger’s performance is legitimizing the combo guard position. This isn’t Roger’s first time changing basketball; he made high school rookies spring up like mushrooms, shifted NBA narratives towards players, made carrying the ball for three-pointers popular, and now, he has made the combo guard role no longer dispensable. GOAT-level influence should be like this. 8 to 0, the Houston Rockets seemed unable to resist at all. This Golden State Warriors team may not be the biggest championship contenders, but believe me, they can still handle most teams in this league. After Roger delivered the assist, he pointed at the score: “Gilbert, must you shoot? Hakeem is my friend, I don’t want him to watch his home team being trashed like this. You know, I’m a sentimental guy.” “Shut up!” “Shut up? How does garbage have the right to command the King?” “Stop looking down on me!” The insecure and arrogant Arenas fell into a vicious cycle, the more Roger taunted him, the more Arenas felt belittled and felt the need to prove himself by taking more shots. Roger simply needed to be ready with the knife when Arenas walked into the trap. For Roger, destroying opponents has become as routine as a factory worker’s job. Arenas was subjected to intense pressure by Roger, and Rudy Tomjanovich’s blood pressure was pushed high by Arenas. As expected after this, Gilbert Arenas was completely destroyed. Just as Hubie Brown envisioned, Roger didn’t let that poor guy get any stats. Arenas often used “I’m just a 0” to motivate himself. But from now on, this phrase will only make him recall this unforgettable night of shame, because Roger indeed turned him into a 0. Roger applied pressure defense on him throughout the game, not relaxing for a single moment. Whenever Arenas left the court, Roger left the court, and whenever Arenas came on, Roger came on, ensuring Arenas wasn’t clocking up minutes against others. This personal target exceeded the sphere of competitive sports by far. Roger brutally humiliated Arenas without reservation, making him pay for all his words and actions during the summer.
