Chapter Seventy-Four: Seven Wins in Ten Battles
Let the team's goal in the new season is not to mess up, but to fight for every victory normally, this is Hojborg's mind, for this thought he gave Li Ming unlimited firing rights, and at the same time seriously deal with every preseason game, and finally as he wished, Li Ming's performance was very good, four consecutive games of thirty plus, the Bulls' record is also a momentum of four consecutive wins.
It was also with these two things as hole cards that Hoiberg had the confidence to come to Foreman's office to persuade him.
He came with confidence, but as a result, Foreman put a final word on the matter, he was right, it was just a few preseason games, and no one else cared, so it didn't explain anything at all.
"But, isn't the purpose of our reconstruction to be the champion? Now that we have a player in our camp who can be used as a cornerstone, why wear out his patience? You should know that no player with quality wants his team to be rotten rather than strengthened! Hojberg still talks about Li Ming, which is already his biggest reliance now, but is Li Ming the cornerstone of the team? It doesn't matter to him at all, all he needs is a chance to get the team to play every game.
You must know the situation of the teams in the East this year, compared to almost every team in the West, it is actually obvious that most of them have decided to rot.
The Nets, the Knicks, the Hawks, the Magic, you can count several teams at any time.
In other words, if Hojberg seriously coaches the Bulls to fight every game, he may have a chance to enter the playoffs.
And to be able to enter the playoffs with such a three-no team with no tactics, no stars, and five cooperation, for him, it is definitely a great achievement in his coaching resume.
People are selfish, and it is precisely because they see this form clearly that Hojberg will support Li Ming's performance so strongly.
"This 。。。。。。" Foreman didn't know Hojberg's careful thoughts, he carefully analyzed what the latter just said in his heart, and he was also a little shaken, after all, these words are very reasonable, the purpose of putting a bad position is to have a good order, there are so many teams that are bad this year, and it may not be possible to get a good position if you are dead, it is better to seriously strengthen and leave a good impression on Li Ming! After all, the latter has only been signed for a year, and judging from his preseason level, if he can't reach the first line, he will be on the front line, give him some time to grow, and then find him some helpers.
Foreman must have heard the rumors about Li Ming deliberately scoring points, but these are just like jokes to their general manager, and the person who can score points means that he can score, and no matter how bad his skills are, he is not an ordinary role player.
Just like Booker, didn't the seventy plus cut down directly become a god and become the key protection object of the Suns? But in fact, if you really look at the game between him and Kobe Bryant who scored 81 points against the Raptors that year, you will find that the gap is still very large, at that time, Kobe Bryant was already a player with three crowns in hand, experienced the big stage, and mature ball style, and Booker is now just a player who has to hope for even the playoffs.
But what does even such a big gap mean? In the end, isn't Devin Booker the potential to become the next Kobe?
Li Ming, who has won four consecutive games of 30 plus, is the same thing, it is a shameful thing for some fans to be able to brush points, but for team managers, this is a good seedling.
Foreman is also hesitant because of this whether he should continue to be rotten, just this season, whether he is rotten or not has no impact on Li Ming, he wants to brush the data no matter what, because he must be the core, but what about after this season? How can they be sure that Li Ming will definitely renew his contract with the Bulls?
Hojberg is right to say that no player wants to stay in a bad team.
"Man, I must say, your words shake me!" Foreman let out a breath, said what he actually thought in his heart, and looked at Hojberg: "But it's a plan we have already made, so we sent Butler out in his prime, and if we don't rebuild it suddenly, then we will lose an All-Star player!" None of us can afford this mistake! ”
"But we've got Raven! This player has a lot of potential, and you can't help but admit that our cornerstone has already appeared! Foreman didn't say that Butler Hoiberg still couldn't remember, he still had a hole card in his hand, and suddenly he had something in his mouth again: "Believe me, with Li Ming and LaVine as the core, supplemented by some puzzle pieces, we have the capital to do a big job!" ”
"This 。。。。。" Foreman's eyes were still hesitant, he couldn't be moved so easily, if he was such a person, he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of general manager.
"So be it! I'm going to give you 10 matches, and if you can get more than seven wins, then I'll consider your request! Eventually, Foreman took a step back and came up with a solution.
"Seven wins?!" Hojborg's face was a little complicated, he didn't look at the schedule of the first ten games of the season, except for the Hawks, he was not confident that he could win other teams at all, especially two of them against the Cavaliers and Spurs, which were two games that had been determined to lose.
Seven of the remaining eight games were won.
It's impossible to think about.
"This 。。。。。。" He also wanted to fight for it.
As a result, Forman waved his hand and didn't give an inch: "Fred, you also have to think about it from my point of view, if you don't mess up, I can't explain to the top management at all if I don't have a good enough record!" ”
"Alright, so be it! After 10 games in the regular season, we talk about the results! ”
With a wave of his hand, Foreman had already given the order to evict the guest.
。。。。。。。
"What's going on? Didn't Li Ming play in the last game against the Pelicans?! ”
"That's right! It seems that he is not on the list! ”
"No, it won't! What's going on? His performance in the first four games was good! Why don't you fight today?! ”
In the last game of the preseason, a sudden change occurred, and Li Ming's name was crossed out in the Bulls' roster.
As a result, the Pelicans defeated the Bulls 103-82 in that game, ending the latter's four-game preseason winning streak.
Judging from the pictures on the sidelines of the game, Li Ming was wearing a training jacket and Laven was chatting with Laven in a suit, and they looked in a good mood.
But even so, such a sudden stop to fight made many media reporters talk about it.
