Chapter 46: The Battle of Internal Strife
Jack scored 24 points on 9-of-10 shooting in the first half. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and you scored 28 points and used 23 shots. You've got eight free throws, but you've made 13 more shots than him. Your efficiency is too different. You need to control the game with your passing. ”
"But we had a bad hand, so I had to do it myself. ”
'They've just had back-to-back games and they used up too much energy in their games yesterday and it's not the same. We need to shoot to find the feel, and the more we don't shoot, the less we feel, don't you understand?"
“……”
Delon and Sloan were arguing in the locker room, from their shot selection in the first quarter to the final attack of the first half.
"Speaking of the last attack, your choice is simply stupid. Don't you see the empty seats for Al [Jefferson] and Miles? Can't you see the empty seats like the sea? Or do you think you can't make that pass?"
"I have my own choices, I know what I'm doing, let's do our own thing, okay?"
"Deron Williams, are you going to get rid of me now?"
"Humph!"
Sloan could not count the first time he had argued with Delon in the locker room, and Sloan left the locker room to call the team's owner, Miller.
"Miller, I think we should have a good talk!"
"Jerry, what's going on?"
Sloan briefly told him about wanting to get Chen Mo, "It's complicated, I can't say it clearly, let's go back and talk about it!"
Miller hung up the phone with Sloane and found an unread text message on his phone. The text message was sent by Delong, and the content was also to talk to him.
Miller felt a little headache, he had heard of the conflict between Delon and Sloane for a long time.
"Is it time to choose between them?" thought Miller, leaning his fat body back on the couch, with a little headache.
……
In the locker room next door, Chen Mo and Larry Brown are also arguing fiercely!
"Larry, I need more shots, if you think Stephen is out of shape, let Sean (Livingston) carry the ball?" Chen Mo wanted to attack without the ball, but Larry Brown didn't agree, he didn't want to lower the team's defense, he felt that now the team and the opponent were evenly divided, there was nothing wrong with that.
However, the main thing is that Larry Brown doesn't want to make himself a puppet of Chen Mo. Why did he accept Chen Mo's suggestion? He had to let Chen Mo understand who was the head coach!
"We can't win if we go on like this!" Chen Mo is really tired, yesterday's war of attrition, and then the consumption of alcohol, he was too tired to attack with the ball in the first half.
"You have to understand who the hell is in charge of this team!" Larry Brown's previously suppressed temper finally exploded.
At halftime, Jordan was discussing the team's conflict with the team's manager, Rod Higgins.
'Rod, I think it's time to make a manager candidacy. Jordan said as he puffed out a cloud of smoke with a cigar in his hand.
Rod Higgins sighed, he knew the team's contradictions, and the contradictions between Chen Mo and Larry Brown were completely irreconcilable. "Can't you reconcile?"
"You should understand Larry's temper, and Jack is more arrogant than those who are rebellious on the surface. I'm pretty sure neither of them will bow their heads. Jordan took a puff on his cigar and added, "Also, I don't think Larry can get the most out of Jack." ”
"If Jack was willing to listen to him, I think it would have turned out well. ”
"But it's impossible, you know. Jordan said lightly: "Jack has to be the core, this kid has the temperament of a leader, although he is still just a rookie." ”
"Okay! I see. Rod Higgins sighed.
Fans didn't know that at half-time, there were so many stories between the two teams that they didn't know about. But they can gradually feel that the two teams played more and more abnormally in the second half.
Chen Mo completely turned off the personal offensive mode, and after blocking and dismantling, he passed the ball, even if there was a gap in front of him, he didn't shoot.
DeLong has completely turned on the individual offensive mode, he basically does not pass his teammates, even if it is a difficult shot, he will choose to shoot, anyway, he just does not pass.
Both men gambled with the coach, who put them on the bench midway through the third quarter in order to let them know who had the final say on the team.
"Jack, can't you see the huge gap in front of you?"
"Sorry sir, I don't think those are good shots!"
"Oh, it was a lot of fun today. Both teams were in a mess. Barkley on the commentary seat was full of smiles, and this fat man's favorite thing is to watch the excitement.
Kenny Smith said: "I really don't know if the conflict is contagious, but I didn't expect the conflict in Utah to be bigger." ”
"Haha, I've seen two teams fight in a group fight, but I've never seen two teams fighting and fighting together. ”
"This game will go down in NBA history. ”
"This game is really classic, and it makes me think about what this classic fight should be called...... Well, the battle of infighting! What an alternative classic. ”
This game is actually over here, Chen Mo wants to win, but Larry Brown wants to show his authority.
DeLong proclaimed himself the league's No. 1 point guard last year after beating veteran point guard Chauncey Billups in last year's playoffs. He felt that he should be the boss of Utah, and he didn't want to live in the shadow of Sloan.
As for Chen Mo, he doesn't have to be the boss of the team. He just wants a little freedom on the pitch and the respect that comes from Larry Brown.
However, Larry Brown is another guy with a lot of self-esteem. He understands the importance of Chen Mo to the team, and he also knows that Chen Mo is a great threat without the ball. But it's hard for him to accept a team core that often talks to himself and goes against his arrangement.
In particular, his six-year experience in Philadelphia and his later success in Detroit seemed to confirm his ideas.
He gave Iverson a free ride, and Philadelphia won just one game in the finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.
He has absolute authority in Detroit, and they beat the Purple and Gold in the finals with F4.
Therefore, he believes that in order to be successful in Charlotte, he must establish absolute authority. Originally, all this was very good, but who knew that a Chen Mo suddenly popped up.
In the end, the more physically fit Utah won the battle of bizarre infighting, 78-74......
It was an ugly game as you could tell from the scoreline, with both teams scoring 33 and 29 points respectively in the second half.
At the end of the game, Larry Brown did not replace him, and Chen Mo left the bench directly after communicating with Larry Brown to no avail.
The media is excited again, the contradictions between the two teams are all big news that is full of highlights, and their trip today is definitely worth it.
The confrontation between Chen Mo and Delong in the first half, and the conflict between the core of the team and the coach in the second half......
