Amid the hype, the Raptors welcomed Vince Carter home again.

The New Jersey Nets, another NBA team in New York, had their biggest achievement being a runner-up finish for two consecutive seasons from 02 to 03. Ball-handling maestro Jason Kidd was a crucial figure in their run to the Finals. After two years of failure, they finally made a change, and it was under these circumstances that Vince Carter landed in New York.

At the Canada Route Center Arena, Carter was booed again, and it was an overwhelming barrage, the most intense boo since he left Toronto. Why? Because this year, they've got their new core, Kyle Lowry, a natural leader. Since his comeback, the team has won seven of its nine games and currently sits seventh in the East with a record of eight wins and six losses. And the Nets, life seems to be a little difficult, they fell from the championship contenders to the middle level of the strong team, the playoffs are not in a hurry, the first echelon is not playing, last year in the first round went home, this year's real record is only sixth, because it is the first place in the region, they occupy the third position. They also have an 8-6 record, and because of the more wins in the same division, they beat the Raptors. Kyle has completely replaced Carter as Canada's new darling, and they are shouting to tell Carter, thank you for leaving, let us find a more suitable leader. Even more taunted Carter, look at your current down-and-out appearance, you still have achieved nothing.

As for the rest of the Atlantic teams, the Knicks are at the bottom, with more than a dozen games this season, and have only beaten the Houston Rockets. The Boston Celtics are third from bottom in the East, with three wins and 12 losses, and Walker's departure has completely made them uncompetitive. Kyle's hometown team, the Philadelphia 76ers are rapidly falling under the leadership of Iverson, and the playoffs are all in question, they are only in tenth place in the East, 6-8, the answer can no longer give fans an answer, he is yelling to leave! The conflict with the management is becoming more and more serious.

It would have been a close game. But the results were unexpected.

After beating the Nuggets, Sam and Kyle had three conversations, but all of them ended up in failure, and they again ran into a fork in the road and argued. Sam strictly ordered Kyle to do his job, just play the ball well, design tactics and arrange tactics, it's none of your business? your eggs! That's basically what Sam meant. During the training exercise, there was no schedule to practice Kyle's proposed tactics.

Knowing that the tactics worked, why didn't Sam arrange it? What about discovering the core of this tactic? The reason for this is that the three sessions with Kyle are not in the same key.

The first time Kyle goes to the office, Sam calls him, and he just jumps to his feet and scolds, giving Kyle all kinds of warnings and exposés, and speaking mercilessly. Kyle is not a submissive person, the terrier neck stretches his face and Sam fights each other, and disputes are inevitable, and finally they break up unhappily. Sam felt that he had lost face and was greatly humiliated, and the information at the time of the draft showed that Kyle had crossed the line by overstepping his bounds, Sam didn't care, he was confident that he could handle it, a child, what big waves could he turn over? But the truth is that my face was trampled on by this child, which is really hateful. In fact, if Kyle had been honest, Sam would have passed with a few nagging words, and nothing would have happened, but Kyle didn't! So when they met for the first time after the game, their conflict deepened.

In the basketball world, not to mention that it is taboo for players to arrange and design tactics for coaches, tampering with the tactics arranged by coaches is absolutely not allowed and cannot happen. Kyle has to make inches, not only change it, but also design it himself, which is equivalent to slapping Sam in the face. If the player does this job, what does the coach do? The prestige is small, but the loss of professional style is big. Sam is on fire, and rightfully so.

Sam thought about it for a long time and felt that it was not a way to consume it, and the general's discord would hurt the team a lot, so there was a second meeting. Originally, Sam was going to negotiate amicably, and hinted to Kyle that he should keep his duty and not be so outrageous. But the moment he saw Kyle, his face pulled down, and it was estimated that his little self-esteem in his heart would not allow him to bow his head. When Kyle saw that the old man's face turned blue and his tone was extremely unkind, how could he feel happy? scolded and scolded, said what should have been said, apologized and apologized, and the old guy still didn't give up. The two of them didn't say a few words and didn't speculate, and went home to wash up.

Then one day, Sam didn't arrange to practice the tactics proposed by Kyle, or break through the ball, and all kinds of singles old ways. Kyle isn't so careful, so he goes to Sam again. After all, a coach is a coach, and it is good for him to enter the league, so as not to bury everyone's efforts for a little face. Kyle decides to take a step back and apologize again. The beginning was good, and Kyle's apology satisfied Sam, but Kyle's next sentence made the old man blow up, as if stepping on his tail, jumping up and spitting criticism again. Kyle was powerless to complain on the spot, and he couldn't be saved! He just mentioned in passing the tactics of practicing Jamal as the axis, but it was exactly Sam's reverse scale at this time. Okay! It turned out that I didn't come to apologize, to ask for an excuse for myself. If you don't arrange your tactics, you don't arrange them, what can you do?

Sam is definitely not angry, he is asserting his authority. Imagine Kyle offending him by doing this, and he nodded stupidly in agreement. Then Bosh is also coming, Jamal is also coming, Peterson is also joining in the fun, Jalen also wants the ball, what should I do? Will they all say yes? How can it be.

So the third meeting was again a chicken and egg fight, and they broke up.

Then against the New Jersey Nets, Sam still arranged the old tactics. It doesn't matter if you lose, the most afraid is to lose the authority of his head coach, and the most afraid of discordant voices. Sam is stubborn and uses this method to maintain his face and completely erase the negative impact of Kyle.

Kyle was anxious, but he didn't want to offend the burning old man again, and he felt that they could fight even with the old tactics. It turned out that Kyle was overthinking, and at halftime, the Raptors trailed by 8 points, which was not much.

But at the beginning of the second half, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the Nets' Kidd, Carter and Richard Jefferson made a series of shots, passes and shots, and played an 18-6 attack wave, and the difference widened to 20 points. At this time, Sam didn't make any special adjustments, just desperately poured chicken soup for the soul and made a generous statement.

This time Kyle was really in a hurry, gathered his teammates again, and started playing team basketball. After just two rounds, Sam called a timeout and pushed Kyle directly to the bench. Kyle watched the slaughter on the sidelines as the Raptors suffered an 88-115 home defeat to the visiting New Jersey Nets.

At the end of the game, Kyle glanced at Sam as he left, shook his head and smiled bitterly, satisfied?

The moment Sam made the decision to replace Kyle, a sense of comfort invaded every cell. This is the absolute sovereignty of the manager, which cannot be violated.

The fans came in with excitement and returned disappointed, wondering how they could knock Kyle down at half-time. What's going on? All signs point to infighting. Fans don't want to believe it, and they don't want to accept it, they have sent emails, sent letters, official messages, and social platforms, asking why? It caused a small sensation for a while. With such a good situation, why is there infighting? They don't understand.

The players were saddened by the defeat and the loss, which was frustrating, but even more disappointing was the clash between Sam and Kyle. Of course, they know the whole thing more than anyone else, so they can feel the oppressive and terrible atmosphere in the team firsthand. The gods fought, the mortals suffered, the city gate caught fire, and the fish pond was affected. Basically, the whole team is hurting now, and everyone in the team is in danger, and they don't know where to go.

Kyle played 20 minutes and had 10 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, Bosh 23 points and 11 rebounds, Peterson 12 points, Jamal 10 points and 7 rebounds, and no other scorers double-doubled.

The Nets' Carter let out a deep breath and slashed 33 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Jefferson 20 points and 6 rebounds, Kidd 11 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists for a quasi-triple-double, Kostic had 15 points and 6 rebounds, and Clifford Robinson had 10 points.

The media and newspapers even hyped up the discord between the Raptors' generals and coaches. This can be said to be a big event in the alliance, infighting! Other fans watched and threw an olive branch to Kyle once again.

'We don't have any problems, it's what the game needs and I'm willing to make sacrifices. I think Sam had his considerations, and I firmly believe that he made the right decision. And me! It's enough to be on the pitch, do everything you can and give it your all to bring victory to the team! Again, I repeat, there is no contradiction between us. When asked by a reporter why Sam pressed him to the bench, he replied.

"But obviously, Sam is unhappy with you, are you worried about being traded away?" The reporter still did not give up

"Man! I've made it very clear, it's tactics, we're good, he's like an elder to me, he gives me love and care. There is no way to talk about a transaction. Kyle, of course, got the wind, the Knicks made another offer to the Raptors, and other teams were on the move. Now a blind man knows Kyle's potential and strength, and if he doesn't act, he's a fool, a genius under the age of twenty! Everyone wants it, the team's future cornerstone figure, salivating, drooling is for sure.

"Ridiculous rumors, Kyle is at the heart of us and will never change, remember! It's forever! Sam's answer was even more resolute. He just did that to suppress Kyle, to show off his teammates, and to assert his authority. Trading Kyle? Neuropathy does that.
