Chapter 501: The Origin of "Thorn" Whiteside (First Update!) )

And he also realizes that Whiteside's brain is even worse than he thought.

Although people are not bad, they have bad brains and are also a thorn in the coffin.

If he continues to toss like this, the Pelicans may really not want him.

Whiteside finally apologized to the team at Williams' behest, but it was clear from his face that he was genuinely reluctant.

This performance is manifested in the fact that the players have taken the bus back to the hotel one after another, and he is still left alone in the locker room.

Tang Tian didn't go with the team either.

He had previously told Demps that he was going to talk to Whiteside once, and this was the opportunity.

And if it didn't work this time, he was going to give it up.

Although Whiteside will be very good in the future, in fact, for the Pelicans, it is only this season.

As a traverser, next season's draft and free agent signing, Tang Tian wants to strengthen the team, which is a matter of hand, which is much simpler than this.

"Tell me, why did you go back to the locker room early today, there's no one else here, you don't have anything you can't say to me."

After Tang Tian sat down, he said straight to the point.

"I can't play, it's no different from leaving early and leaving later."

Whiteside spoke.

Although Tang Tian didn't say it, he was able to sign a contract with the team, and his agent still told him about Tang Tian's help, so he trusted Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, this guy really has a bad brain?

"Then there is no difference between you in this team and not in this team?"

He looked at Whiteside and asked.

Whiteside was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then fell silent.

"You're on this team, you're part of this team, don't you know that you have to behave in line with the team? Didn't anyone tell you you couldn't do that? ”

Tang Tian saw Whiteside's reaction, and he was a little angry.

Whiteside shook his head.

“……”

Tang Tian suddenly felt that some people became thorns because they liked to make trouble, but Whiteside's words were really bad brains.

"When I was in Sacramento, I saw players do that, but the coaching staff didn't say anything."

Whiteside then defended himself.

When he heard this, Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped being angry.

Speaking of which, he was a coach in his previous life, and he has seen a lot of such players.

The environment in which a player grows up will also largely determine his future.

For example, Durant can have the most shooting rights in his rookie season with the Thunder, but Milicic is on the Pistons bench.

Kwame Brown might have grown well if he hadn't played under Jordan, and Bennett might have been a good role player if he hadn't been drafted.

These encounters, and even the actions of these teammates as Whiteside said, can affect the mentality of the players and therefore their future.

After all, players are people, not machines that play ball.

"I don't care what it was for you, or if you were late for training last time because someone in Sacramento set an example for you, but Hassan, I just want to remind you of one thing right now."

Tang Tian continued.

He said this in an accentuated tone, and then looked straight at Whiteside.

"You're less than six days away from leaving the NBA again."

Whiteside was visibly stunned when he heard this.

"The NBA offers a player a maximum of two ten-day contracts, and with your current performance, it is impossible for management to renew your contract."

Tang Tian said it very clearly, and Whiteside's eyes changed.

"So when I say 6 days, it's really 6 days, if you can't catch it, just continue to go to the overseas league and wander."

"I don't want to go to Lebanon again."

Whiteside immediately instinctively opened his mouth that he had been hit by a terrorist attack while playing in Lebanon, a feeling he would never forget.

"The development alliance is not bad, in just a few years, you can take the bus for a lifetime."

Tang Tian continued.

The development league has low wages, and it's not like the NBA where you can sit on a plane, and no matter how far away, you will be served by buses until you vomit.

"Don, I want to stay in the NBA."

Whiteside said seriously.

Sister, I finally said this, if it weren't for the Pelicans' interior line being really weak now, he wouldn't have the spare time to talk hard here.

"But the coach has always distrusted me, and he used to give me very little playing time and it was very fragmented, and now he doesn't let me in even more active lists."

Whiteside continued, and he said this with resentment.

"Do you really think the lack of playing time before is Williams' bias against you?"

Whiteside nodded.

Tang Tian saw Whiteside's reaction, and really wanted to jump up and give him a hairy chestnut, this guy has a really bad brain.

"You have a foul in two minutes, and you tell me, if I were Williams, how would I give you playing time?"

Tang Tian asked rhetorically.

Whitesey didn't say a decent word for a long time.

"Forget it, I'll help you one last time."

Tang Tian said as he took out his tablet and threw it to Whiteside.

"There's some details on how to control fouls."

He went on to say that he had sorted it out to help Davis sort it out himself.

Davis is cute, but he has a high ball quotient and understands it very well, and it took half a season to basically control the foul.

Whiteside's words, his brain, can only look at creation.

"I can't help you other than that, you only have 6 days left to impress Coach Williams."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

This is really the last thing he can help, he is not Whiteside's own father, and if the latter himself is not good, he will not have time to toss.

The next day, the Pelicans flew to Washington for an away game against the Wizards.

The Wizards have been in the dark for a few years since the Trident disintegrated.

Now that Walbier's two guns are formed, coupled with a number of outstanding role players such as Ariza and Gortat, the current record is fifth in the East, and the strength is good.

The two teams played until the fourth quarter to decide the winner.

Evans grabbed back-to-back offensive rebounds next to Gortat, and Tang Tian and Davis scored back-to-back.

The Pelicans took the Wizards in a wave to end the team's two-game losing streak.

Tang Tian scored another 35 points in this game, Davis also had 20+10 data, and Evans continued to rebound with 4 points and 15 boards.

The Wizards' two-shot performance was average, but Ariza was accurate and scored 23 points with six three-pointers.

Although he is called Tiezha by the fans, when he is on the spot, he has 3 and D, and he is a very good puzzle player.

Whiteside is still not on the activation list, and after this game, he only has the final five days of his career with the Pelicans, or the last two games.

One fight with the calf, one with the king.

PS: There is another chapter later.
