Chapter 213: Wrath
At the beginning of the playoffs, Wang will enforce a curfew tomorrow.
The so-called curfew is a management of the team's private time for players during the playoffs, in order to prevent some players who are not strong in self-control from wasting their physical strength and energy on things outside the game for no reason.
The curfew king himself will abide by it tomorrow, but he will mainly oversee it.
He never thought that beating the Heat in one game would be enough to win the entire series, and in the NBA, overturning abounds.
Just two years ago, the Dallas Mavericks were once hacked by the Golden State Warriors.
But in Philadelphia, where the curfew rules exist in name only, they can only come in handy when traveling to Miami.
In Philadelphia, the players will all go home, and the king won't be that wide tomorrow.
So what made him feel a little angry was that after the 76ers finished the first game, many players went to the nightclub and threw a small party.
Roughly speaking, Paul Millsap chased down a sister-in-law, who was his new girlfriend.
Then the 76ers players had to celebrate, Iverson, Gasol and other key players all played, and everyone was in a famous local nightclub in Philadelphia, and they didn't leave until midnight.
Outside the nightclub that day, tabloid reporters waited all the time, and when they saw the 76ers players coming out, they clicked and took a lot of photos.
Some of the guests in the nightclub also took pictures, and the tabloid reporters paid some money to get the photos from them.
The next day, Wang Mingming learned about this through the media.
"It's outrageous!"
Wang Ming angrily threw the newspaper on the table.
The teaching assistants in front of him were all silent, they had never seen Wang Ming make such a big fire, and they were silent one by one.
"Don't you want to play? Then let the Heat win! ”
Wang Ming slapped the table heavily.
"King, listen to what the players have to say, they are all outside the door now!" Randy Ayes smiled bitterly, this kind of thing happened in the morning when he came to the newspaper, and several players on the team also knew that they were in trouble, so they hurriedly went to the office to find Wang Mingming, but Wang Mingming was closed and angry.
"You let them go, I don't want to hear them now."
Wang Ming lit a cigarette for himself, his brows furrowed.
"King, Aaron Iverson is out there too." Taryn Lue reminded in a low voice.
"What happened to Iverson?" Wang Mingming snorted secretly and glanced at Tyronn Lu, who was frightened into a cold sweat by Wang Mingming's look like this.
"Let's go, start the training camp at two o'clock in the afternoon, don't be late."
The king drove them all out tomorrow.
After a long time, Lucy, the administrative secretary of the unit, walked in.
"Coach Wang, this is the coffee you want."
The female secretary stepped on her high heels, walked on the floor, and put a steaming cup of coffee on Wang Mingming's table.
The king thanked him tomorrow.
"Are the people out there gone?"
Wang asked tomorrow.
"It's all gone, only Paul Millsap hasn't left yet, and he's been waiting for you outside."
Wang Tomorrow was silent for a moment, knuckles unconsciously tapping on the table, while Lucy waited for his response.
"Let Paul in."
The king made up his mind tomorrow.
Lucy nodded and immediately walked out, and then Paul Millsap pushed open the office door and walked into the office with a look of shame and regret.
"Coach...... I ......."
"I mean....... Lucy, pour Paul a glass of water first. The king was just about to speak tomorrow, when he saw that Millsap's lips were cracked because of the long wait, and he immediately shouted.
Lucy yes, and then poured Paul Millsap a cup of hot water.
"Coach, I was wrong, it was my fault, and the ban of the team should not have been violated."
Millsap sincerely apologized, what he was most afraid of was to see disappointment in Wang Mingming's eyes.
Wang Ming shook his head, "Paul, I'm really disappointed in you. ”
In a word, Millsap's face turned a little pale as if he had been struck by lightning. His worst worries still came, and the coach was really dissatisfied with him.......
"Paul, you know what, in the NBA, no one is guaranteed to win against any team."
"I know, Coach." As soon as Wang Mingming said this, Paul Millsap was even more ashamed and quickly explained: "I definitely don't mean to despise any team. ”
"But your actions are already belittling the Heat, there are no weak teams in the NBA, there are many examples of the weak beating the strong, the Heat are very strong, I can see the potential of the Heat. With our current form, I can say that we will definitely not be able to beat the Boston Celtics in the second round, and that's a fact that is bound to happen. ”
After Wang finished speaking, Millsap looked a little frustrated, it turned out that in the coach's mind, our strength this season was so unbearable.
'What happened last night, so to speak, is a reflection of a phenomenon that we have this season and I'm really disappointed. Paul, do you remember when you first entered the league, that kind of fighting spirit that dares to be the first and never tires? What the 76ers need is your toughness, but I don't see your character, whether it's the regular season or the first game of the playoffs. ”
Wang Ming shook his head, his tone was very stiff, and Millsap lowered his head.
"Please give me another chance, Coach."
The first time Millsap heard Wang Mingming speak to him in such a tone, he had mixed emotions in his heart, shame, fear, and overwhelmed, and finally turned into a determined gaze.
"You go back and think about it, join the training camp in the afternoon, don't be late," Wang stood up tomorrow and patted Millsap on the shoulder.
"Coach ......."
This deeply touched Millsap, and even after such a big mistake, the coach chose to be tolerant.
Theoretically, there should be an intra-team punishment, but the media that reported it were all small households, and the local newspapers in Philadelphia kept silent and did not publicize the matter.
After all, the big local media doesn't need to use this to attract attention, they want to see Philadelphia's excellent playoff performance.
Therefore, as long as the parties do not admit it, it is acceptable for Wang to not deal with it tomorrow with only a few photos.
The next night, the 76ers hosted the Heat.
This is the second game of the first-round series.
Wade didn't play the first super game, this "only" scored 28 points, and the Heat also lost the game, 91-99, two consecutive losses on the road, and the series fell behind 0-2.
Subsequently, the 76ers traveled to Miami, which was close to Miami in May, and it was already a relatively hot summer.
The sand, the waves, the warm city atmosphere is like this passionate team.
Miami fans are here to watch the Flash's backwater fight, to cheer for the fans in their hometown.
