Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 647 Threat to Management

After defeating the Rockets and another victory, the 76ers returned to the locker room, very happy.

Counting the previous victory over the Nets and the Magic, they have won three consecutive victories. For the 76ers with a poor record this season, this is something worth celebrating.

"Yao Ming's two goals in the back surprised me. If I scored, the result would not be certain." Hawes said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't score."

"It seems that Yao Ming is going to transform." Iguodala said: "Looking at his style of play today, we have to be careful of his three-pointers when we meet the Rockets in the future."

Hawes' expression froze, and he was suddenly embarrassed.

However, Iguodala changed his words, smiled, and changed the subject: "Qin also played very well today. This Chinese derby will definitely make the fans feel very enjoyable."

"That's for sure." Speights was sitting next to Qin Hao, patted Qin Hao on the shoulder, "26 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, it's a pity that the assist is one short, otherwise Qin would be like Yao Ming and get a double-double gone."

Today Yao Ming played very well and was very efficient. He got a double-double of 20+10, but Qin Hao was not bad either. He played 34 minutes and scored 26 points, plus 4 rebounds and 9 assists. Just a little less rebounding.

After all, the opponent has Yao Ming and Scola on the inside. Today, the 76ers' overall rebounds are at a disadvantage, a dozen fewer than the Rockets.

Qin Hao said with a smile: "It's useless to rely on me to fight well, the main reason is that everyone fights well."

This is not modesty. The 76ers played really well today. Except for being abused on the inside, the outside line completely gained the upper hand. Iguodala scored 25 points, Brand 17 points, Holiday 12 points, and Yang 8 points , Lu Wei scored 14 points, and 5 members of the team scored in double figures, and this won the game.

Of course, it has something to do with the Rockets' Martin feeling cold in the second half. Martin played well at first, but later he felt cold. He made 18 of 5 shots and only scored 13 points.

A group of players were discussing in full swing, but the head coach Collins had a gloomy expression, as if someone owed him millions. The team performed very well outside today, but they were hammered inside again.

How many times has this happened?

"We must change insiders, we must trade." Coach Collins muttered.

After this game, the 76ers will not return to Philadelphia directly, and they need to play another away game.

The 76ers failed to win the next game and returned to Philadelphia with a defeat. As soon as they returned to Philadelphia, Coach Collins immediately found the team's general manager Ed Stefanski.

In the office, the two sat opposite each other.

Stefanski took out a box of cigars and handed one to Collins. He knew that Collins smoked and had smoked cigars with him before: "Try this, a friend brought me back from Cuba, the local The most authentic cigars that cannot be bought in the market."

"Thanks, I don't smoke." Collins refused.

Stefanski frowned slightly, feeling that Collins was in a bad mood today, he shrugged his shoulders, cut open a cigar, lit one for himself, took a puff comfortably, and said: "Doug (Doug Collins), you What's the matter, are you in any trouble?"

The little old man didn't greet Stefanski, and went straight to the point: "General manager, didn't you promise me to improve the team's interior, why hasn't there been any change? Our interior is really bad, and Hawes is in a terrible state. Batty's ability is limited, and Speights still needs to be tempered, not stable enough. We need a strong inside line, otherwise we will suffer too much against some other teams."

Weakness inside this season has always been the weakness of the 76ers. Almost most teams will be beaten. The team's poor record has a lot to do with this.

But Stefanski was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Doug, when we traded for Hawes and Nosinho, we asked you, and you also recognized them. Now they fight No, you want to trade and find a strong insider, but where can I find it for you?"

"I don't care about it." Collins didn't give the general manager the slightest bit, "This is your management's business, I'm only in charge of coaching, I must have a strong insider, otherwise you'll be dismissed from the team's record Can’t even improve.”

"Coach Collins." Stefanski's face darkened, "Please pay attention to your wording, you are the head coach of the team, and it is your responsibility and obligation to lead the team to achieve better results. I think you should look for problems in yourself, rather than blindly forcing our management."

As the general manager of the team, Stefanski is very disgusted with Collins' approach of threatening the management at every turn.

What's more, it's not that he doesn't want to improve the team's inside line, but there are not many strong inside lines. Is it so easy to trade for a strong inside line?
If it was that easy, instead of trading for Hawes and Nosinho in the summer, they would directly find a star insider.

Mentioning Hawes and Nosinho made Stefanski even more angry.

In May, the team signed Collins as the head coach. Lu Yue also asked for his opinion when he acquired Hawes and Nosinho in the trade, and he also recognized it.

In fact, Hawes averaged 10.0 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in the Kings last season, but this season he can only get a poor 5.0 points and 4.6 rebounds without suffering injuries. I still think there is a problem with your coaching ability of Collins.

"Of course I will do my own thing well, but the management should also do their own thing well." Collins put his neck down and turned around to leave.

"You..." Stefanski pointed at the door with trembling fingers, and the cigar in his hand was dangling. When Collins' figure disappeared, he withdrew his hand and took a sip of the cigar, feeling very bad, "Fack. "He cursed, and dropped the cigar on the ground.

A conversation breaks up badly.

Although the sound insulation effect of the general manager's office was good, but when Coach Collins slammed the door and left, Stefanski's angry curse was still seen and heard by many people. People are talking about it.

A day later, even a lot of the media knew about it.

A reporter named Jow almost completely exposed the quarrel between the two as if he had personally experienced it, which immediately caused an uproar from the outside world, and the discussion was full of enthusiasm.

This made Stefanski even more annoyed. He felt that there was a spy in the team, so he summoned his men that day to find the spy, but unfortunately it still failed.

After that, the 76ers had to hold a press conference.

Stefanski attended in person and said that he and Coach Collins had only a small dispute. It is normal to have some disagreements about work matters, and it is nothing.

This silenced the discussion.
