I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 91 Team conflicts, trade Billups? (8000, please subscribe)

Losing to the 75ers is the most unacceptable, especially the 75ers without Iverson.

After the game, Larry Brown, who was so angry, didn't even bother to participate in the post-match interview, but blocked the players in the locker room and scolded them.

However, after Larry Brown vented his temper, he took the initiative to apologize to the players.

Having suffered from being ill last time, Larry Brown became more cautious and did not do anything too outrageous. Once he felt that the scolding was too much, he took the initiative to save the situation.

The Pistons players, especially the few starters who knew they were wrong, naturally would not continue to pursue this matter.

Larry Brown was out of breath and finally participated in the post-match interview before the media reporters left.

If you lose, there is nothing to say.

Huo Song participated in the post-match interview with Larry Brown. Even though he scored 31 points and 12 rebounds, the statistics looked good, but he lost to the disabled 75ers after all.

At this time, no matter how extravagant the hype is, no matter how high-sounding it is, it's just the loser making excuses.

After the post-match interview, Huo Song returned to the locker room with Larry Brown, and the players basically left.

Larry Brown went to the training ground to look again, but he still didn't see anyone, so he was not very satisfied with the performance of the players.

About the time Huo Song arrived home, Larry Brown had assigned his assistant coaching team to call the Pistons players one by one.

It was informed on the phone that they must have a good rest tonight, because tomorrow's training will be advanced to 8 am until the end of training in the afternoon.

According to the previous plan, they were supposed to go to Cleveland by car at noon tomorrow, and the training in the afternoon was arranged at the Cavaliers' training ground.

But now the plan has changed. Larry Brown wants to give the Pistons players additional training and supervise them to complete daily training, so as to avoid the situation of playing the game with an extremely bad state tonight.

Huo Song is absolutely fine, the big deal is to go to the training ground to train earlier, it just increases the amount of training.

But there are always some people in the Pistons who will feel resentment, of course, they must dare not speak out at this stage.

On the afternoon of December 12, the Pistons players finished training in Detroit. After dinner, they boarded the bus and headed to Cleveland.

After staying in the planned hotel, Larry Brown pretended to ask the players to ask about their health. In fact, the head teacher checked the bed in person to prevent the players from going out and not returning at night.

Nothing happened today, the players stayed in the hotel well.

But the Pistons players are adults, they have their own will, their own decisions, and their own freedom.

In order to ensure the record, Larry Brown used this method to supervise the players, forcing the players not to go out and have a good rest every night. This is really contradictory and disgusting.

On the second day, Larry Brown once again asked the players to start training in the morning and prepare for the game in the evening.

This made some Pistons players intolerable.

After eating at noon, Billups began to connect the teams.

"It won't work if it goes on like this. It's okay for a day or two. If it's like this every day, we will be broken!"

"We're going to fight for championships, but we also have our freedom. We're not robots, we're not training machines."

"We are going to fight, we are going to fight for the freedom that is ours."

"I'm going to have a showdown with Coach Larry Brown, do you want to join me?"

The adult world only considers pros and cons.

No one wants to be supervised, demanded, and not free all day long.

Athletes are prone to hormonal excess, and in the 82 regular season games, there are a full 41 away games.

If you are confined to a hotel and training ground every time you play an away game, what is the point of your career?
You don't really think that Americans are all ascetics, do you?

Billups quickly gained the support of the vast majority of the team. The rest of the team did not support it because they spoke lightly and it was not his turn to speak for a while, or they were still on the sidelines.

Huo Song belonged to the category of support. After all, a rookie like Huo Song who had conflicts with Larry Brown had no reason not to support it.

In order to increase his voice and win over more people, Billups drew Huo Song into his camp from the very beginning.

Since Big Ben and Hamilton both wanted to express their support, when Billups approached Huo Song, Huo Song naturally had no other opinions.

After the internal meeting of the Pistons players at noon, Billups unified the opinions in the locker room, and then took the initiative to negotiate with Larry Brown.

However, it didn't take long, almost half an hour, Billups came back in a daze.

Hamilton approached Billups to inquire about the process. As for the result, you can see the bitter face of Billups.

Huo Song, as the team's starter, also followed the past to understand the situation.

The general situation is that Billups' showdown was first ignored by Larry Brown, and then Larry Brown fought back violently.

The most amazing thing is that Larry Brown took the initiative to get through the phone with Joe Dumars and posed a problem of choosing 2 from 1.

It stands to reason that Billups negotiated with the collective opinions of the locker room, and Larry Brown did not dare to take the initiative to call Joe Dumars.

But the truth is, Larry Brown has the guts, and he gets Joe Dumars just right.

Larry Brown's self-confidence is built on his big contract and the fact that the Pistons were double-killed by the Lakers this season.

The Lakers don't look at the lineup, just look at the head coach-Phil Jackson, and they know it's not something to mess with.

The head coaches of the two dynasties of the Bulls and the Lakers, this reputation and momentum are too scary.

In the shadow of a famous tree, if the Pistons want to beat the Lakers with Zen Master, they have to be equipped with a head coach of the same level.

Maybe the Pistons can find a suitable candidate in the future, but at this juncture, only Larry Brown, the head coach who is also famous, can be used.

Only magic can defeat magic.

The reason is this, Larry Brown is the best candidate to coach the Pistons and beat the Lakers.

Joe Dumars won't give up on Larry Brown for Billups,
Larry Brown asked Joe Dumars to choose one of the two. For Billups, this is really an old guy who doesn't talk about martial arts.

The shot is directly the key point, it is fatal.

Fortunately, Joe Dumars did not choose to make things big.

After clearly supporting Larry Brown, he put pressure on Billups and asked Billups to go back and review himself, and then play well.

If it doesn't work, Joe Dumars will consider making a trade before the All-Star break.

That's what scared Billups.

Billups is not afraid of simply being traded. After all, as a well-known wanderer in the league, Billups has been traded not once or twice.

But from the Pistons, a team that is expected to compete for the championship and may help him become an All-Star, to another team whose future is uncertain, Billups is a little scared.

Players who play in the NBA are all for fame and fortune, and Billups is no exception.

After he came to the Pistons, he got the attention of the team. Compared with the past, his statistics have improved a lot. Players like the Pistons can also support him very well, giving him the possibility of becoming an All-Star player.

After one season, Billups has the idea of ​​keeping the Pistons forever.

But it is best to win the championship and get a big contract, so that life will be complete.

Since this season, Billups has more and more such ideas.

And taking advantage of Huo Song not officially becoming the boss of the team and becoming an All-Star player, Billups wants to experience the glory of being an All-Star player.

Because a team usually has at most three All-Stars, only the best teams in the league have such opportunities.

If it is a fish belly team, even if the team is the head of the team, it may not have the opportunity to become an All-Star player.

Billups missed the best period of becoming the head of the team, so the only thing he can pursue is the All-Star.

With the Pistons already having an All-Star center like Da Ben, the possibility of others becoming an All-Star will be lower.

Once Huo Song becomes an All-Star player, it will be even more difficult for Billups to become an All-Star.

When Huo Song becomes the boss of the team, he will steal most of the team's attention.

Now Huo Song has such a trend, so Billups will often not pass the ball to Huo Song when Huo Song is performing very well, especially in games that are broadcast live across the United States.

However, Huo Song has the Pistons. As a teammate, Billups can get more attention and support from Chinese fans.

When Larry Brown returned to the Pistons, Billups also recognized what Larry Brown said.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game and when the game was deadlocked, Billups would give the ball to Huo Song again, or call Huo Song to come out for pick-and-rolls from time to time.

Billups believes doing so will increase his chances of becoming an All-Star.

And this season will be the season he is most likely to become an All-Star player and get rid of parallel importers.

To achieve this, you must stay with the Pistons.

Billups knows deeply that his role in the Pistons is not irreplaceable.

The Pistons can take him, and then add some first-round picks in exchange for an All-Star point guard star.

Of course, it is not impossible to trade a point guard who is at a similar level, who can defend and organize.

Billups is not the core of the Pistons with the ball, so he can be replaced.

That's right, when Joe Dumars said those words, Billups was terrified!
Billups was afraid that his previous efforts and plans might be wiped out in an instant because of a word from Larry Brown and a decision from Joe Dumars.

Hamilton knew the negotiation process, but he didn't know what Billups was most worried about at this time.

Considering that Billups can share the pressure on the defensive end and cooperate well on the offensive end, he still doesn't want Billups to leave.

After all, the new point guards may not have a good chemical reaction with them.

Continue to keep Billups and continue to maintain the integrity of the team. Even if the Pistons cannot win the Finals, they still have a chance to win the Eastern Conference championship.

Kobe has the courage to say that the runner-up in the finals is the biggest loser, because Kobe is in a giant like the Lakers.

You must know that there are many teams in the league. The flags of the Eastern and Western champions are hung above the league's home court like treasures. What's more, even the division champions are regarded as treasures.

Now Hamilton is still the head of the Pistons. If he can help the Pistons win the Eastern Conference championship, as long as he plays more time in the Pistons, he may be expected to retire his jersey in the Pistons.

And being able to retire a jersey in a team is an honor worth spending a lifetime fighting for.

"Chauncey, don't be depressed, we will help you, I'll go to Larry Brown." Hamilton knew very well that Billups could not be traded so easily.

Whether it's for camaraderie or for himself, the integrity of the team needs to be maintained.

If even a main player like Billups can be traded, why can't he, the leader of the same foreign team, be traded?
You must know that Huo Song is the future of the team. Hamilton has a real understanding of Huo Song's character and temper. Hamilton is also worried about when he will offend Huo Song and be traded by the team.

"Let's go together, we are a team!" Big Ben supported Hamilton.

Hearing Da Ben's opening, Huo Song could only lean over and express his opinion: "There is an old saying in our China that one must tie the bell to untie it.

Although the matter originated from coach Larry Brown, the decision to trade Chauncey is still in the hands of Mr. Joe Dumars.

We should call Mr. Joe Dumars and make our case.

As long as we are united, Mr. Joe Dumas will take everyone's attitude into account. "

"Then, it's up to you to make the call. Huo Song, I leave everything to you!" Hamilton felt that Huo Song was very reasonable, and decided to let Huo Song work.

Huo Song scratched his head, then found his bag, took out his mobile phone from it, and called the general manager Joe Dumas.

"So so, so so."

Huo Song spent some time trying to explain the ins and outs of the matter as clearly as possible.

Joe Dumas on the other end of the phone understood the situation, and said in a strong tone: "Don't make an example!
Next, you must obey Coach Larry Brown's training arrangements.

Of course, I will also communicate with him and let him not be too strict with you.

Freedom is the right of each of us.

But you get the salary paid by the team, so you should try your best to win the game. "

Joe Dumars made the final decision and resolved the conflict between the Pistons players and the head coach by playing [-] rebounds each.

The players were warned, but freed and the struggle had some success.

Larry Brown released the anger and pressure in a proper way, and completed further control of the team.

It's just that after anything happens, it doesn't pass so quickly.

What happened is what happened, it is impossible to pretend that nothing happened.

Because of the fright, Billups lost his mind and made mistakes again and again in the game against the Cavaliers the following night.

Larry Brown hated the weak and removed Billups, but Hunter didn't fit so well with the team's starting lineup.

Coincidentally, not only Billups, but also Hamilton played inaccurately.

Habits are very powerful. It wasn't Billups passing the ball to Hamilton. Hamilton suddenly couldn't adapt, and his shooting percentage improved significantly.

Larry Brown knew the players had called Joe Dumars behind his back.

Although the matter was discussed, Larry Brown also expressed that he would not pursue it any longer, but the matter happened, and there is still a knot in his heart.

Larry Brown felt that in this game, Billups and Hamilton were still in tandem, and even more players joined forces to put pressure on him and give him winks.

Ever since, seeing Hamilton's poor performance, Larry Brown hated the house, removed Hamilton, and replaced him with other substitutes early.

Larry Brown rotated the lineup frequently, step by step trying to catch the ghost in the team.

After the game, the result was lost, but Larry Brown was more satisfied with his own work.

"There are a lot of ghosts!" Larry Brown said that he has caught the ghosts and knows exactly which part of the team has connections with guys like Billups and Hamilton, and which part is innocent.

Of course, one round is not enough. To really distinguish who is the insider, you need to delete one side from the insider list again.

Eliminate those unlucky ones who are not sincerely bad, but just because they are not in good condition.

Regardless, this is great news!At least one scope is out.

In addition, there is even better news, Huo Song and Da Ben are not insiders.

One is the most stable player in the Pistons this season, and the other is the star that Larry Brown wanted to win from the beginning.

Obviously, Larry Brown knows how to play the next game and who the team should rely on.
