Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 279 279. Ranbir who hates iron but can't make steel!Michael Reid's aggrieved, unshakable sewer name!

Yi Jianlian, who ran back to the locker room, naturally did not escape Lambiel's pursuit.

Listening to the screams coming from the players' locker room, Luke stood outside the locker room and took a puff of a cigarette. He looked at Markia Faroni next to him with sympathy, "Oh, what a crime."

.........

"I'm warning you, Lu! You told me before that you wouldn't interfere with my training!"

"I knew this kid would come to you secretly, and then pretend to be innocent and cry to you! It seems that I guessed correctly!"

Seeing Ranbir's furious and questioning eyes, Luke stubbed out the cigarette he had just finished smoking, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Yes, that's what you think."

"I'm so mad! When I go back, I must give this brat a good meal!" Gritting his teeth, Ranbir was already thinking about how to punish Yi Jianlian, that brat.

When Luke handed Yi Jianlian over to Ranbir, although Ranbir was reluctant in his heart, he also made up his mind to train Yi Jianlian into a real man.

For a real man, complaining and finding someone to cry about is absolutely intolerable behavior for Lambiel.

Lambiel's technical training for players is very limited, but when it comes to spiritual training, Lambiel is definitely the best mentor in the active league.

After all, in Lambiel's era, it was impossible to survive without a beast-like fighting spirit.

Especially for an inside player with average physical talent like Lambiel, if he wants to make a name for himself, ruthlessness and determination are indispensable.

Yi Jianlian has a strong physical talent and a soft touch that most inside players do not have. Only Yi Jianlian can become more determined mentally, and he will at least be a qualified starter in the future.

Although Lambiel did not open a training camp like other retired celebrities, Lambiel absolutely does not allow the player he trained to be a coward!

This "madman" Sprewell is deeply loved by Lambiel. After leaving the Timberwolves, Sprewell has run over several teams, and he can be respected by his new teammates no matter where he goes.

Because everyone who spoke ill of Sprewell fell under the iron fist of the "Madman".

In Lambiel's view, the "madman" is the real man on the basketball court, the same existence as himself!

During the offseason of this year, "Madman" Sprewell announced his retirement. The reason was not that the 38-year-old lacked combat effectiveness, but that the "Madman" who played for the Indiana Pacers beat the head coach Jimmy Brown violently because of a verbal conflict.

He even threatened to throw Brown's daughter into a slum, which caused Pacers coach Brown to be admitted to the hospital because of a heart problem, which became the hottest topic in the league at the time.

In fact, although "Madman" is 38 years old, his competitive state has been maintained very well.

Coupled with the experience of winning championships during the Timberwolves period, even if "Madman" is 38 years old, there are still many teams willing to give "Madman" a basic salary contract.

However, with the incident of Jimmy Brown, the head coach of "Madman", coupled with the fierce verbal threats of "Madman", all teams are unwilling to accept the thorn of "Madman".

After all, no coach wants to send himself to the hospital because of a verbal conflict, and even the safety of his family cannot be guaranteed.

According to Dallas media reports, Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks at the time, also wanted to sign the "Madman" with a basic salary contract, hoping that the Madman could provide the Mavericks with some championship experience.

But Rick Carlisle, who just took over as the head coach of the Mavericks during the offseason, had a very big reaction, and directly said to the boss Cuban, "If you want to sign the madman to the team, I will definitely leave immediately. here!"

The arrogance exuded by Sprewell directly caused all the teams in the league to flee. I am afraid that apart from Luke and Lambiel, there will not be a third coach in the league who appreciates the "madman".

Just when Lambiel was still sulking because of Yi Jianlian, the general manager Chris Wallace pushed open the door of the office, "So everyone is here, didn't they bother you?"

At this moment, Lambiel, who was thinking about how to cut Yi Jianlian into pieces, didn't want to talk at all, while Luke sat on the office chair and waited for Chris Wallace's next words.

If it wasn't for D'Antoni on the side to pick up the words, Chris Wallace would have pulled out a mahjong with his feet in embarrassment.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange, Wallace hesitated after entering the door.

"What happened, Chris." Luke tapped his fingers on the table, and looked up at Chris Wallace, who was hesitant.

After thinking for a moment, Wallace still stated the purpose of coming this time, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Michael's side has been having a temper recently, and he hopes that you can properly improve his position in the team's offensive system."

"I think it should have something to do with the fact that you specially arranged offensive tactics for Louis a while ago, which made him feel a little unbalanced."

"After all, you also know that last season Michael was still the star of the Bucks. This season, coming to the Grizzlies to play the sixth man is a kind of sacrifice."

"Although he can get things in the team that he couldn't get in the early stage of his career, even Louis on the bench has more offensive roles than him. Michael will inevitably have opinions in his heart." Shrugging helplessly, Chris Hua Lace looked helpless.

As the head star of the Bucks last season, Michael Reid can only play the position of the best sixth man in the Grizzlies in the new season. Michael Reed was not dissatisfied with this arrangement.

After all, Michael Reid is a bitter boy who has gone from being drafted to becoming a star step by step.

For the championship, Reed is willing to make some sacrifices.

What's more, Luke promised Michael Reed during the offseason that even if Michael Reed will play as a substitute in the new season, it will not affect the fact that he has unlimited firepower.

After the start of the season, Michael Reed, who came off the bench, was indeed able to take shots at will on the offensive end. Except for the change in the identity of the starter and the substitute, Reed did not feel restricted on the court.

This is why Reed is always satisfied with his sixth man position.

But as the game progressed, Louis Williams began to play more offensive roles, which affected Michael Reid, who was also a double-gunner in the backcourt, a lot.

The fundamental reason is that Louis Williams is the ball-holding point of the substitute lineup, and Michael Reid, who is good at playing off the ball, naturally plays off the ball.

As a point guard, Louis Williams is not an excellent organizer. He is better at personal offense than connecting teams.

This also led to when Lu Wei became more and more confident on the offensive end, Michael Reid's offensive space became more and more narrow, and he could only be used as the second offensive point on the bench, almost becoming a spot-up shooter like Kapono.

Until the game against the 76ers, Luke specially used "sewer tactics" to help Lu Wei achieve a triple-double that broke multiple records in a row, and the imbalance in Michael Reed's heart was completely out of control.

Although Reed has been repeatedly telling himself in his heart that these sacrifices for the championship are inevitable, but the more he thinks about it, the more aggrieved Reed still wants Luke to appropriately increase his weight in the team's offensive system.

Instead of being completely reduced to a spot-up shooter like Kapono.

Hearing Chris Wallace's statement, Luke bowed his head and fell into thought.

No one mentioned these things, and Luke really didn't care, but as Michael Reed tactfully raised it to himself through Wallace, Luke did feel something was wrong.

In any case, Michael Reid was an outside star with an average score of [-] in the league last season, and he is still the head star with unlimited shooting power in the Bucks.

Serving as the Grizzlies' substitute in the new season is a matter of self-deprecation, and now being overwhelmed by Louis Williams on the offensive end, it is strange that he has no thoughts in his heart.

"Lu, I don't think Michael's proposal is too much. If you think about it carefully, the team does owe Michael a little."

"Michael is a star with a good character. If he had changed to another player, he might have submitted a trade application to the management."

"Looking at it now, Michael's ability to convey this message to you through Chris means that he still wants to stay with the team."

"Michael is definitely the most important offensive firepower on the team's bench. If the team wants to win the championship, it's best to handle this kind of thing safely." D'Antoni looked at Luke a little anxiously.

D'Antoni was afraid that Luke would not be able to hang his face after listening, and felt that Michael Reid refuted his majesty, so he acted in a way that hurt both sides.

After all, the purpose of D'Antoni joining the Grizzlies is to win the championship, and losing Michael Reed is definitely a loss for the Grizzlies.

However, D'Antoni, who has been with Luke for a short time, obviously doesn't know enough. Although Luke has a cold personality and a hot temper, he is definitely a coach who can improve interpersonal relationships.

As for things like slapping a swollen face to make a fat man, Luke has never done it.

If Michael Reid used his relationship to put pressure on the management, maybe Luke would have some rebounds, but with Michael Reid now, Luke really has no reason to refuse.

"Don't worry, Mike, I have my own plans for this matter." Waving to interrupt D'Antoni's worries, Luke showed a smile on his face, "It seems that from now on, I can't get rid of the title of "Sewer Coach" Lost."
