After Nelson finally found the fifth core player for his five-small lineup after digging the SuperSonics three feet, everyone in the Seattle SuperSonics was shocked and silent about this fifth core player.

Even old Nelson was silent.

In the past, when he was digging three feet into the ground and the whole world was scolding him, he would still humorously fight back.

After that, he, like his apprentice Popovich, no matter how vicious and unpleasant the voices facing him outside were, he never had the so-called humorous counterattack.

He has not given any interviews since then.

It was as if the whole person had accepted these people's evaluations of him.

It seems that he has accepted his fate like his apprentice Popovich, who is an Alzheimer's disease.

A player has been buried in a team. Is this because of the player or because of the coach or the team?

This requires detailed analysis of specific issues.

If this player is as smart as James, there may be a conspiracy about this player.

But if that person is Leonard, there is no doubt that this is not the player's responsibility.

It is the responsibility of the coach and the team.

Just like Ye Si wouldn't believe that his youngest and most vulnerable apprentice was a highly intelligent person like James, not only Ye Si didn't believe it, but other Sonics players also didn't believe it.

They watched Leonard grow up.

It can be said that they know very well what kind of person Leonard is.

Local Seattle fans, Garfield High School fans, and University of Washington fans all call him "Little Cutie."

This is not only because his name Kawhi is transliterated as kawaii, which means cute in Japanese. In addition, Leonard’s character is also very shy, very quiet, very fragile, very shy, and

You can tell by looking at him that he has the character of a lovely and honest person who is harmless to humans and animals, has no desires and desires, and does not fight or rob.

Whether Leonard is at Garfield High School, the University of Washington or the Seattle SuperSonics, there is almost no game that will drag the team back, and there is no such thing as James Harden and other players.

, will not disappoint the team or the fans, and will not pose any threat to teammates.

Such a shy, quiet and shy player who is as uncontested as anyone can be called a cutie on the court.

Therefore, regarding Leonard's existence, whether he was a player at Garfield High School or a player at the University of Washington, or a player with the current Seattle SuperSonics, everyone is very tolerant of Leonard, even to the point of ignoring him.

Not that strong, not that weak, just ordinary, plus it doesn't pose a threat to myself. Isn't this just a little cute and transparent?

But now, after his strength was discovered by Old Nelson.

Old Nelson felt uncomfortable.

If Ingalls hides deeply, everyone feels that Ingalls has the feeling of a big boss. Even Ingalls himself feels that he has the feeling of a big boss.

But Leonard hides it so deeply.

But no one thinks Leonard is like a big boss.

Nelson even blamed himself for Leonard's hiding of his strength all these years.

Because hidden strength is Leonard’s personality!

His character is one that can hide his strength!

A player who is unwilling to cause trouble to others, who is timid, cowardly, fragile, shy, quiet, and shy, no matter how strong he is, does not want to become a big devil who dominates the world or a big hero who saves the world.

Even if such a player is capable, the first thing that comes to mind is not to cause trouble to others, does not want to expose himself, does not want to break his comfort zone, and does not want to become the focus of others.

Therefore, when the team needs it, he can do everything and will not hinder the team, but he will not be conspicuous.

Because Leonard feels insecure from the bottom of his heart.

As the head coach, he did not make Leonard feel safe, which was of course a dereliction of duty on his part.

Not only did he not let Leonard feel safe being exposed in the spotlight, but he also failed to notice that Leonard was so strong. This was even more of a dereliction of duty.

After Leonard's strength was discovered, it was not just Nelson who blamed himself very much.

Even Ye Si was very critical.

Naturally, his disciple's strength was not achieved overnight.

He must have been very strong before participating in the draft.

With such strength, he didn't even think about flying away like Bradley and others, but stayed in obscurity on the bench of the Seattle SuperSonics for three full years.

If Nelson hadn't dug deep into the team's potential, he would have remained in such obscurity.

He thought that he already knew his distressed and extremely fragile apprentice very well.

But his apprentice is really more fragile, more shy, and more afraid of changes in the environment than he imagined.

This made Ye Si feel a little heavy.

He had always thought that the protective film Leonard was wrapped around was made of plastic, or at best spider silk. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a diamond cover, as airtight as a turtle shell.

Leonard's psychological problems are so big, it really makes Ye Si uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after Bill Gates and Bezos hired the best psychiatrist in the United States to see Leonard, they felt that Leonard’s problem was not big. His fear of society, vulnerability to the environment, and his character

His shyness, timidity, and shyness did not make him depressed. There was still sunshine and hope in his heart.

This also makes people like Yes and Nelson who are worried about Leonard feel a lot more relaxed.

After the preseason, all other NBA teams have entered into intense preparations for the regular season.

Only the Sonics are discussing Leonard these days.

To be honest, it is really shocking that such a weird player appears in the NBA.

Even Rondo was stunned.

In the Seattle SuperSonics training camp, Rondo, who had been massaging Milicic behind him, had his eyes on Leonard, who was now being cared about by everyone and had a shy smile on his face.

The second master is considered to have countless followers in the entire league.

What kind of person have I not seen?

Whether it was a vicious person like Du Shiwu, an extremely pure white lotus like Yes, or any other weird person, he had never thought that there was a player like Leonard in this world.

Now Leonard is the focal point of the Seattle SuperSonics.

Not only Rondo is paying attention to Leonard, but the team's second-in-command is also paying attention to Leonard.

Of course, he and the rest of the team looked at Leonard with different sympathy.

The look he looked at Leonard was full of scrutiny.

He is a person with a sensitive constitution beyond ordinary people.

And it's a mental sensitivity, which is different from James Harden's physical sensitivity.

He discovered a long time ago that this boy was not simple.

When Leonard looked at him, the look in his eyes made him quite concerned.

As the king of team fights of the Sonics, he is not afraid of anyone's challenge, whether it is Rondo or other members of the team, he treats them obediently.

Even if he is not a player of the team, even if Beasley has paid off the money now, he is still treating him and he will continue to be a saint.

Being worshiped like a saint can be addictive.

He felt that his understanding of human nature had reached a very high level.

Therefore, after unexpectedly seeing Leonard's look, he didn't worry about anything.

Just come here and see who will have the last laugh in the Seattle SuperSonics.

He had thought that Leonard would challenge his position in many ways.

But he really never thought that Leonard would be so tolerant!

Even when his strength was exposed, he did not do so on his own initiative, but was dug out by Nelson.

This is interesting.

This means that his image of being fragile, timid, harmless to humans and animals, and uncontested has been completely established.

You know, he has been waiting for Leonard to reveal his strength.

He kept asking Leonard to challenge him and asking Leonard to practice with him, just hoping that Leonard would be unable to bear it any longer.

In this case, Leonard has no way to explain why he did not try his best when he led the team in the past three years.

At that time, all his characters will collapse because of his proactive attack.

He won't have yes's heart-warming protection on him.

However, I don't know if this kid is too tolerant or too smart, but he didn't expose it at all, and it almost made him believe that he was indeed a player without much strength.

He can be sure that this time when Nelson was tapping the team's potential, Leonard took advantage of the situation and let Nelson see his strength.

In this way, not only can you continue to maintain your own personality, but you can also start to attack him.

When Leonard continues to maintain the "cute" persona, he is invincible.

Simply invincible.
