165: Emotional intelligence is frighteningly low
George. Carl, one of the NBA's thousand-win coaches. "Rude" and "vicious" are the labels this guy has had since he entered the league.
Karl never gives a soft touch on anyone, including his own players. Some people think that Dream Team member Chris. Mullin's alcoholism was scolded by old Carl.
As he grew older, the elder Carl's temper did not become mild. On the contrary, he also embodied his ferocity in tactics.
Fierce pinch shots + quick changes of defense, so that the Nuggets can always make mistakes and counterattack. On the offensive end, more three-point + blitzkrieg allows the Nuggets to always solve the offense simply and roughly.
Brutal, ferocious, and merciless, this is George. Karl's coaching style. He is victorious, and for him, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed for the sake of victory.
Maybe you'll say George. Carl hasn't had any hard accolades in his career so far, no championships. But everyone must admit that George. Karl's flamboyant style adds a lot of color to the NBA.
If there is no George. Karl, the Nuggets who lost Anthony, could not have suddenly risen in the second half of the season and fought all the way to fifth place.
Now, though, another team has emerged that is faster than the Nuggets. From eighth in the West to fifth in the West, it only took half a month for the Grizzlies to compete!
But George. Carl wasn't afraid, and he didn't have the word fear in his dictionary. That's the end of the Grizzlies' magic, George. Karl will let the Grizzlies experience in advance what playoff intensity is!
Yesterday, George. Karl has told his players that they have to be rough and tough today, this is their only chance to hold on to their position. The Nuggets players can't deny this, after all, if this game is not tough, how long will they have to wait?
Among them, the most positive is undoubtedly the former champion Xiu Kenyan. Martin too. This guy has always thought that Link is like a clown, and deliberately pretends to have a good relationship with Randolph and others in order to fit in with the black community. But he knew very well that no matter how strong Link was, he was not black.
As a result, Martin didn't like Link very much. To be exact, this guy doesn't seem to have much respect for Asian players. God knows where this guy got his sense of superiority from.
As soon as the Nuggets players stepped off the plane, countless reporters rushed up. The Grizzlies and Nuggets are the two most watched teams in the league right now, so it's natural that there are many reporters who follow this game.
The reporters interviewed a lot of players, Kenyon. Martin is naturally one of them. The question he got was actually easy to answer – "What do you think of Link's excellent performance in the final half of the season?" ”
Generally, in the face of this kind of question, you only need to blow the other party awkwardly and you're done, which is basically the best type of question to answer. But Kenyon. Martin is not a good thing, he just likes to do things sometimes.
"Link is not bad, but no matter how much he learns from black people to speak, no matter how much he learns from black people to do celebratory gestures, he is not black. Did you come to remind him, that guy Xinlin. No matter what he does, he can't become dark-skinned. ”
Kenyon. Martin's sudden appearance made the reporters stunned. How can a good question be turned into this by him?
Martin obviously doesn't like Link, but this guy says that about Link to his face doesn't say anything but proves that he has low emotional intelligence.
Martin may have misunderstood George. What Karl meant was that he was making the players tough on the pitch, not off-the-pitch......
※※※
Kenyon. Martin managed to make headlines, and it may be the first time he has been so in the spotlight since he suffered a major injury and his form plummeted.
But Martin would certainly rather not make the headlines now, because the newspapers are full of condemning him.
"This is clearly racist remarks, Ken Young. Martin is to blame for his words! ”
"He should apologize, and honestly, he went a little too far."
"Martin can disrespect Link, but there's no need to go up to the level of skin color."
Martin would never have imagined that his "handsome" speech would attract such a big criticism. Not only the Asian community, but also many black journalists have come forward to criticize Martin's remarks.
This out-of-the-box show may still be alive in the past, but the truth is that Link's popularity is much higher than him now! People love Link more than Kenyon. Martin's imagination. The NBA is a place where strength is king, and if Martin had said this three months ago, maybe it wouldn't have caused any uproar, and no one would have stood up to speak for Link.
After all, at that time, people didn't know who Link was.
But now, now that Link has conquered the fans with his performance, Martin would be digging his own grave to say so.
"That idiot, what a disgrace to black people!" Randolph sat in the locker room, newspaper in hand, and on it was Martin Link's news.
Randolph didn't say this in favor of Link, but Martin's words really made many black people feel ashamed.
"You call him an idiot, what do you care about what he does? Focus on the game, Zach, we can't be distracted by this. Link wasn't at all surprised by Martin's remarks.
Before crossing over, Link remembered that Martin had said something similar. It's just that this time he said it was Jeremy Lin, and Martin thought it was funny that Jeremy Lin deliberately smudged his braids, and declared that Jeremy Lin couldn't be black no matter how much he tried to get his hairstyle, and his words were full of superiority.
At that time, Jeremy Lin and Martin had no grievances, but Martin still jumped out and splashed dirty water "without hesitation", which shows that this buddy's EQ has been terrifyingly low. Now, Link has stepped up in advance to block the bullet for Jeremy Lin.
However, before the time crossed, Martin had retired and Jeremy Lin was also reimbursed for the season, so the two did not have a chance to settle their grievances on the court, and Jeremy Lin had no way to humiliate Martin with his performance on the court
But today, Link will have the opportunity to fill that regret in person! Teach Martin a lesson while helping the Grizzlies get to fifth in the West? It's also excellent to think about.
On the other hand, Martin was also a little depressed, he didn't expect that he would be sprayed so badly and become a public enemy overnight.
This guy probably thought that most people would be on his side and laugh at Link, but I have to say that his ability to look at the situation is really low. Who is more popular now, he or Link, why don't you have a B number in your heart.
Despite being attacked en masse, Martin still has no intention of apologizing to Link. On the contrary, he is now desperate to show Link on the basketball court what it means to be tough in a black player! There are some things you can imitate, but there are some things that you can't learn with yellow skin!
"Remember what I said yesterday, fight hard, play hard! For us, this game is a preview of the playoffs! You've all played in the playoffs, and you know what to do without me saying more! Martin, fucking use your anger on the pitch and don't mess it up. "In the away dressing room, George. Carl's encouragement ignited a fire in Martin's heart.
The match against Kenyon. It's not just about the win, it's about his face! Although Martin played in the No. 4 position today, he believes he will always meet Link. As long as that No. 0 dares to break through to his own territory, Martin will let him taste it!
It's just a soft egg, so why bother!
In this way, this originally much-anticipated game has now become even more popular.
The race for fifth place in the West, combined with a personal feud between Link and Martin, skyrocketed the game's ratings.
"Link, don't be blinded by anger. I know Kenyon. Martin is a jerk, but don't mess with him and stay calm! Before the game began, Hollins also reminded Link that he was afraid that he would be too impulsive.
"Don't worry, coach, I know the severity." Link smiled at Hollins, a victory over the Nuggets, Link's number one priority.
As for a big forward who is already out of gas and averages only 8+6 per game? It's good to educate by the way.
Well, by the way.
