Bai Xiaofei locked himself in the door of the room all day, ignored anyone who opened the door, and didn't answer the phone, it was completely just a child's temper again, so Bai Xiaofei missed the old man's meeting.

Lao Fu called everyone in the team, including the management, the coaching team and all the players, to meet to try to solve the current predicament of the team, it is clear that the Spurs of the team's successive defeats to the Knicks cannot simply be covered up with the excuse of West, Gray, and Okafor's successive absence, and the return date of the latter two is undecided, and the game has only played a dozen games, and there are more than 60 games waiting for them, if you can't find a correct way to play, the road behind will be extremely difficult.

"Everybody knows," said the old man, wearing a brown baseball cap and a high nose under his two small eyes, "so far in the team has played seventeen games, we have only won eight games, which is too little, it does not reflect our true strength at all, but unfortunately, I am not a player, I can't wear a jersey to compete with them, but I also don't want to sit in a swivel chair in the office all day, looking at those useless statistics every day, now, It's like I know where the problem is, we find it and try to fix it, so you can talk about it! ”

People in the management, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak, this is not surprising, as I have already said, in the NBA, the management, including the head coach, belongs to the NBA management league, and the head of the team can say that the referee will cut them, but the players are different, the players are affiliated with the players' union, although they can also be cut, but the salary will not be less, so only the players will have the courage to say something unpleasant in such a meeting.

There is also a sequence in which the players speak, usually the team boss speaks first, then the veterans in the team, and finally the other players, but there is one person in the team who can't hold it back, what kind of courtesy and humility he cares about, he has been holding back the fire in his stomach and has no place to put it, as soon as the old man's voice fell, he stood up.

"I think the current situation is caused by the fact that some players have too many balls and are playing as a whole, and they can never play team basketball in one dozen or five, so I think that's the biggest dilemma that the team is experiencing at the moment."

The one who spoke was Marcus Thorton.

Others were shocked when they heard Thorton's words, the meaning of his words was already obvious, to put it bluntly, it was to accuse Iverson of playing too alone and not knowing how to share the ball, but the veterans also understood in their hearts that Thorton's words seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring, all for the sake of the team, in fact, it was for their own next year's cooperation.

Thornton's words made the atmosphere in the conference room tense suddenly, Brightins and Poundsett both looked in the direction of Iverson intentionally or unintentionally, "You don't have to accuse me," Iverson didn't even look at Thorton, his legs were on the conference table, his body was lying comfortably on the swivel chair, playing video games in his hands, as if he was taking care of himself, "I have been playing like this since I first entered the league in 1996, and now a full fourteen years have passed, and I will still play like this, I've led the team to win the Eastern Conference and reach the Finals on my own, but what did you do? Just standing here spitting?! ”

Iverson's rebuttal left Thorton speechless, and although he seemed to care, he fought back with the strongest words, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"One to five, too many singles with the ball, isn't that your way of playing!" Paul chuckled lightly, trying to lighten the mood, and said, "Thorton, you're blaming yourself!" ”

Thorton kept his head down, didn't speak, and sat down in his chair, sulking at himself.

West touched the mustache on his chin and said, "The current situation of the team has nothing to do with anyone else, Thorton, Belineri, Poundsett, Brightens, Ariza and other young players are playing well, with very strong ability and impact, Peja, Sangella, Marx also played the value that a veteran should have, Paul, as the leader of the team, has been in control of the direction of the team, the reason for the team's successive defeats is still me, I didn't come up with a tough defense, Let the interior players of the Knicks and Spurs do whatever they want, and it's all my own fault......"

"No," Brookings interrupted West, "it has nothing to do with you, it's mainly that little teddy...... If I had his height and weight, I would have beaten him better than I don't know how many times! ”

"I'm at your age," Sangeira said with a retort of Blakins, "I'm at your age, and I'm playing many times better than you don't know!" ”

Brightins was choked speechless.

"Okay," the old man glanced at Thorton and then turned his gaze to Brightins and said, "Since everyone knows that the crux of the current team lies in the interior defense, then I decided to bring in an assistant coach to specifically coach the interior defense, let's see if there is a suitable candidate, I hope this person has the best experience as an NBA player, and has a certain attainment in defense, everyone talks, what kind of suitable candidate." ”

"Speaking of which, I have a very good candidate," said Manson, who stood up and said, "Jamal Magloyle!" The 2004 All-Star, who played for the Hornets for five years, during that time, Magroyle averaged more than 10 points and grabbed more than a dozen rebounds per game, and he was an All-Star interior player, and signing him has helped us a lot in developing interior players, and my advice is him. ”

"Magloyer?" The old man's mouth read this name, he has the impression of this player, it was in the 2004 All-Star Game, Magloyle averaged 14 points per game this year, and 10 rebounds were selected as All-Stars, known as the most watery All-Star in history, this season Magloyer originally signed a contract with the Miami Heat, but was cut in the middle of the season, and now rests in his hometown in Toronto, if Margloyle is selected as an assistant coach, the advantage is that he is away from the game for a short time, and can adapt to the current NBA field, The disadvantage is that his ability is really lacking, and he doesn't have much to achieve on the pitch.

The old man shook his head slightly.

"How's PJ-Brown?" It was the pretty Carmella who spoke, Carmela was wearing a tight jumpsuit today, and the tight fabric outlined her graceful figure, and Blagins and Pontese couldn't help but look at Carmela a few more times.

PJ Brown is also a famous member of the Hornets, from 2000 to 2006 in the Hornets for six years, averaging nearly a double-double per game, and was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team three times in 1997, 1999, 2001, and won a championship ring with the Boston Celtics in the 2007-2008 season.

"PJ-Brown?" The old man muttered.

"Brown is very happy to be a mentor on the team, Brown's final season was with the Celtics, where he did a very good job of being a mentor, and Kendrick Perkins is already the team's starting center and interior gate," Carmela said as she looked at the information in her hand, "Brown has represented five teams in the playoffs, has a lot of experience, and Brown is approachable off the court, and there is no retirement star in the slightest. ”

The old man nodded, then shook his head slightly, and said, "As a team player, Brown is very competent, but it seems that there is less of his own things, I hope to be able to have a slightly more individual ability of the interior player to guide our young players, since you are looking for it, then find the best one!" ”

"I have a guy who can tick all the boxes," said Terry Kafler, the team's medical manager who has been with the Hornets for more than two decades and is well-connected in the NBA.

"Who?" Everyone spoke in unison.

"Alonzo Mourning!"

Many people know that most of Mourning's honors were achieved in the Heat, but there are many people who don't know uh, the beginning of Mourning's career was spent in the Hornets, in 1992 the Hornets selected Mourning with the second pick in the first round, in the first three seasons of the Hornets, Mourning averaged 21 points per game and grabbed 10 rebounds, which was the team's absolute core, but in the third year of the rookie, due to the "Big Mom" Larry Johnson snatching the position of boss, the two sides turned against each other, and finally Mourning left the Hornets, On the court, Mourning is not only the team's offensive arrow, but also the team's defensive core, and what is more commendable is his strong will and strong mental strength, which has surpassed his body!

In 2000, thirty-year-old Moning was found to have a serious kidney disease, which was a very big threat to his career, Moning had to stay away from the field to start treatment, so he missed the remaining 69 games of the season, and the following season, Moning came back with full blood, but God's test for Moning was not over, after the season, Moning was found to have kidney lesions, had to undergo a kidney transplant, Moning had to announce his retirement again, after the operation, the doctor has announced that Moning's career is over, In the 2005-2006 season, Mourning played 65 games, and played like a god in the finals that year, helping the Heat win the first championship in team history, and next season, Mourning played in 77 games, although he was only a substitute, but he still did an excellent job.

"I know Monin!" Lao Fu said, "He was selected as an All-Star seven times, selected to the All-Star team four times, but unfortunately not selected to the All-Defensive Team once, Mourning has super strong scoring ability and strong mental power, but he is on the defensive end compared with him on the offensive end, the gap is relatively large, I hope that the player I hired has absolute defensive ability, can rely on defense to change the trend of the game." ”

No one spoke in the huge conference room, the name on the left and the name on the right, the old man didn't agree, and they all said that maybe Alonzo Mourning would be inducted into the Hall of Fame, which is not good!

Carmela said, "Manager Fu, is there really that player in the NBA league who has super defensive ability?" ”

The old man ignored Carmela, but looked at Iverson, who was playing a game, seemingly indifferent to the content of the meeting, and said, "Allen, you have been in the NBA for fifteen years, and you are the person with the most game experience on the team, I think you know the player I am talking about, tell me what you think." ”

Allen Iverson put away the console, then moved his feet from the table to under the table, looked at the old man, and said, "Yes, I do know the kind of player you are talking about, and he is a good friend with me who talks about everything, whenever I need it, he will appear in front of me immediately, if you want to talk about resume, he has been selected as an All-Star eight times, eight times as a Defensive Team of the Year, four times as a team, and has won four times NBA Defensive Player of the Year and two times NBA rebounding champion!" ”

Everyone gasped.

"His career total blocks are the second-highest in NBA history." Iverson said quietly.

"Could it be ......" someone had already whispered the name that Iverson was about to export!

"He's ......"
