I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 36 Conflicts erupt
In fact, the main force of the Pistons played well in the first half.

Both teams are defensive-oriented iron-blooded teams. The Pistons relied on defense to limit the Heat's score to a lower score. The score of the two teams was 32 to 37. The Pistons led by 5 points after the first half.

But in the second half, when Larry Brown used the experienced veteran again, he was beaten to death by Wade.

When Wade saw Huo Song, he was excited, thinking that he couldn't kill Huo Song in the summer league, so he would blow it up here and get the field back.

Seeing this, Huo Song was immediately happy. He felt a little unhappy that Larry Brown was messing with his mentality again.

Now Wade is going crazy and helping him slap Larry Brown in the face, isn't that just what I want?
In the third quarter, Larry Brown didn't do much, just stood on the sidelines as always, scolding the Pistons players on the court.

In the fourth quarter, Larry Brown saw that the point difference had widened to 12 points, and felt something was wrong, so he naively wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with Huo Song and settle the suspicion.

"Songzi, there are so many people outside, it's my fault, I kneel down for you!"

Naturally, Larry Brown couldn't hold back his old face and apologized to Huo Song like this, but he made a big point and encouraged Huo Song to play, and there were still some active offenses.

But Huo Song also lost his temper when he saw Wade slapping his face.

"Old Brown, if you lead the team well, I might have killed Wade, the loser, to nothing. But you want to dominate the team all day long, and you want to mess with my mentality, so I won't go along with it." is you."

Huo Song, who re-entered the field, received a lot of balls, but eventually passed them all out.

"Don't you want me to recognize my position and role?"

"Are you satisfied now? Are you enjoying yourself?"

Huo Song doesn't play offensively, and his defense is unreliable, so there are fewer people on the field.

But Larry Brown is also amazing. Anyway, he is not the only one who loses face. Larry Brown simply took advantage of the situation to let the Pistons fans see the waywardness of the second place.

Didn't play a single NBA regular season, even if it's the No. [-] pick, what's so arrogant about it?Talk to the head coach, who is used to your temper?
Seeing Huo Song not catching the ball or attacking, Larry Brown was also happy.

By the way, taking advantage of the time in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown made a draft in time, so that when he was interviewed after the game, he could blame Huo Song completely.

Allen Iverson, a top five superstar in the league, has been labeled as not training by him. Is it difficult to concoct a rookie?
However, even if Huo Song became the chief culprit for losing the game, he was cast aside and hated by the fans.

But Larry Brown, the head coach, can't shirk his responsibility anyway.

The Pistons eventually lost the Heat by 18 points at home, and the score between the two teams was 87 to 69.

Obviously the Heat didn't score many points, but the Pistons didn't even score 70 points. This loss was too miserable and too aggrieved.

The defeat in the third quarter has been revealed, but Larry Brown's temporary adjustments are in a mess.

If it weren't for Larry Brown's considerable reputation, Detroit fans would have questioned Larry Brown's coaching ability.

As for Huo Song getting emotional, the fans could see what was going on.

A well-endowed No. [-] pick, was polished by Larry Brown into a mediocre talent with no fighting spirit.

Even if the future Huo Song really becomes a parallel importer, Larry Brown, the head coach of this rookie season, must be to blame for this situation.

Perhaps Huo Song's performance in front of him was so wonderful!

For NBA coaches, players, and related media, 30 points in a preseason game is nothing, but for fans, it is no different from the regular season, and scoring 30 points is awesome.

The vast majority of Detroit fans believe that Huo Song has unparalleled potential. After he really grows up, he can become an unparalleled inside superstar at the level of O'Neal and Duncan.

In order to keep their O'Neal and Duncan, many Pistons fans called the Pistons general manager's office to complain, and even called the mayor's hotline to complain.

There are also people who found Larry Brown's house by magic, dumped garbage at his door, sent dead mice and so on.

Larry Brown has been troubled in his work and life. After stealing chickens and losing money, he also hates Huo Song even more.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Larry Brown even drafted a plan to lobby Joe Dumars.

Larry Brown did see that the current Pistons lack a key inside scoring point.

But this player felt that it was not Huo Song, not the grown up Huo Song.

Huo Song has offensive potential, but his defensive performance is very poor.

Larry Brown believes that the Pistons need a mature center or power forward who can attack and defend.

In order to get such a player, it would be perfect to trade Huo Song, the No. [-] pick in the draft year, as the main body.

In this way, the team's championship background will not be lost, and at the same time, some historical problems of the Pistons will be solved and garbage contracts will be cleared.

When the championship team is built, the Pistons will shine in the new season. At that time, in the middle of the season, the Pistons can be in the free market again, picking up those basic-salary veterans who want to compete for the championship.

It's certainly pretty good that Larry Brown envisions it this way.As the head coach of the team, to get a team that can compete for the championship at the lowest price, if you really win the championship, it will be a lot of money.

But Joe Dumars is not stupid. As the general manager of the team, he should not only focus on the present, but also be optimistic about the future.

Huo Song is obviously a cornerstone player that is rare in 20 years. Now that Huo Song is traded, Huo Song will go to other teams to achieve results in the future. Isn't he, the general manager, going to be shot by extreme Detroit fans?
Whether for the Pistons or for himself, Joe Dumars disagreed with Larry Brown's proposal.

Even after Larry Brown made it clear that he wanted to abandon Huo Song, Joe Dumars warned Larry Brown.

The basis for Joe Dumars to allow Larry Brown to rely on the old to sell the old is the team's performance and the five-year 5 million maximum salary coaching contract that Larry Brown just signed in the summer.

If things get serious, Joe Dumars must ask the team owner to remove Larry Brown.

It may be difficult to directly breach the contract and dismiss the employer coach, but since Larry Brown is unwell, it is not impossible to find an assistant coach to replace him for a while.

Now Larry Brown has no idea of ​​finding a new job, and the current Detroit Pistons is indeed the Eastern team most likely to beat the Lakers and Spurs to win the championship in recent years, except for the 75ers.

After being warned by Joe Dumars, Larry Brown restrained himself a little, and stopped bullying so obviously, and stared at Huo Song to bully alone.

In the case of Larry Brown not doing anything, the Pistons players played their due level.

Huo Song can basically score 11+6 in every game in the next preseason.

Although the possession of the ball is still a little less, the efficiency is not bad.

The data can reflect most of Huo Song's usage and ability on the court.

The Pistons' record is no longer a problem. The next three preseason games, whether at home or away, have all won.

After eight preseason games, Huo Song averaged 8 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.

From the data point of view, it is even better than Prince and Okur, two important rotation players.

But in the regular season, what role Larry Brown assigns to Huo Song still depends on Larry Brown's mood.
