Chapter 171: Trading
"You...... You guys......?!! ”
In the training ground, the atmosphere instantly froze. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Yu slapped a hook punch and hit Wright mercilessly, and Westphall hurriedly stepped forward to stop Gu Yu, but his eyes were full of disappointment when he looked at Wright.
"You guys one by one...... Don't help me?!! ”
Wright collapsed, completely collapsed, staring around, the players all looked at themselves with an angry look, not only did they not step forward to help persuade Gu Yu, but even a few people clenched their fists, eager to go up and make up for a few more punches.
"You ...... You guys......?! ”
Wright gasped, his face was hot and painful, he didn't need to look at it, he must have been swollen by Gu Yu's punch.
Feeling the pain on his face and looking at the indifferent and even angry expressions of his teammates, Wright couldn't understand why these players were so unreasonable.
"He beat me, I treated him as a teammate, but he started beating me!"
Almost roaring, Wright yelled, "Even if we don't have a good relationship on weekdays, you should stop this behavior, right?" Is that right? the brawl in the team, isn't that right?!! ”
All around, there was still a deathly silence.
No one spoke, from the players to the coaches, not a single person said a word for Wright. Westphal, the most unseemly old-school coach of the team, just stopped Gu Yu and didn't let Gu Yu continue to do it, if it weren't for his special status as the head coach, Westphal would have been eager to give Wright a few more punches.
Why???
Wright can't understand why he ended up in this team?
Who is the person who smiles at you on a daily basis? Who is the person who is polite to you? Who is the one who never invades your territory and tolerates you everywhere??
It's me Antoine Wright!
And what about him? What about this big back??
"He especially yells at you every day, doesn't take you seriously at all, and is embarrassed to call himself 'I', calling you 'Diao Min', you can bear it??"
Stretching out his hand and pointing at Gu Yu, Wright continued to roar: "I am so good to you, he is so bad to you, and at such a time, you are facing him?" Why...... Tell me why!! ”
"None of us are stupid."
One of the players, a man who had little to say, spoke.
"You're right, on weekdays, you do look polite, always smile at us, and act like a good person. Gu is usually very arrogant, no big or small, a powder keg, not to mention DeMarcus and his peers, even to me and Francesco, they don't have half a good word, it's a stinky fart. ”
Samuel Dalham Porter, the man who is even more silent than Francisco Garcia, the most experienced veteran player on the Sacramento Kings roster, stepped out of the crowd to face Wright, who was still in a state of siege.
"Maybe in your opinion, we are all fools, as long as you treat us well on the surface, we will talk to you, help you, and fight for your interests. And Gu is a brainless idiot, who doesn't know how to see people and talk to people at all, and only knows how to talk and do things according to his mood. ”
This man who is usually silent like an iron tower, the expression on his face is quite calm, and he said coldly: "But we are not stupid, we can see what is hidden behind the way you and Gu treat us." ”
"Samuel, I've always called you a senior, even you don't know right from wrong?!!" The corners of Wright's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth.
"I don't know right from wrong? Hehe. ”
Dareham Potter shook his head and smiled, "Do you really think that we can't see that you are a disobedience?" Do you really think that we can't detect the inconsistencies between you and what you seem? Do you really think that we don't know at all, who usually looks for the coach to ask for this and that, and asks the manager for a small report?? ”
"I ......"
Wright choked on this sentence and was speechless for a moment.
These...... They all know it??
"I don't say anything about other people, I just talk about myself."
Durham Porter continued: "We came to the Kings around the same time, and you always felt that if I didn't pass you the ball after I got to the basket on the court, you kept holding a grudge, and you went to the manager, and you used your clever tongue to express that I wasn't a good fit for this team, that I didn't want to cooperate with my teammates, that I was too silent, that I didn't have a good relationship with my teammates? ”
"I ...... No, no, no...... No...... I didn't have ......"
"Don't pretend to be Antoine!"
Garcia also stepped forward and said angrily: "When we were both still playing as substitutes, you told the coach that my roles and you overlapped, and the positions overlapped, so it's better to stagger the time to play, right?" You also said bad things about Kevin Martin at the time, don't you understand what you mean? I just want to force Kevin away, suppress me, and then take the position myself! ”
"No, there must be a misunderstanding here......"
"Antoine, I have always regarded you as a big brother, as soon as I entered the team, I have always listened to your opinions and suggestions, reduced shots, did not shoot the mid-range shots I am good at, covered more, and passed the ball to you more, but you just ......"
Whiteside's chest rose and fell violently, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You scolded me for being a bad pen?" Scolding me for being a?? What the do you have to call me like that??? What am I doing wrong? Is it just because I'm in your way? Is it just because I don't pass you enough balls? I'm not a point guard, I'm the endpoint! Are you embarrassed?! ”
"I ...... This ......"
"Yes, cousin, he does have his problems, he has his problems. He had a fight with DeMarcus when he first came to the team, and then he and Tyrek fell out with each other. He is babbling, doing things upside down, arrogant, God doesn't pay attention to it, but ......"
Yudri spoke: "But we know that he is honest and never hides, and treats us with a true heart, not your human skin mask!" ”
"But what you just said is what you really mean, right?"
Evans protected Gu Yu, who still wanted to do it, behind him, and said coldly: "In your eyes, we are all bad brushes, playthings in your hands, and chess pieces at your fingertips!" ”
I......
Antoine Wright, completely speechless.
Since coming to the Kings, Wright has been scheming, and his ball skills have not improved, but he has done a lot of these crooked tricks.
For playing time, for the sake of the team's position, for the next contract, Wright is doing everything. On the surface, he has a good relationship with his teammates, but deep down, these teammates are just stepping stones for him.
Spread rumors, make small reports, pretend to unintentionally cause conflicts within the team, and be comfortable in various small circles......
Wright is like playing a jigsaw puzzle, taking all the details into account, every move, every little move, has only one purpose:
For yourself.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, there is nothing wrong with doing this, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and people live for their own good!
However, basketball is not life.
Being a human being, perhaps, at some moments, can be selfish, but playing on the court is never something that can be done by one person.
Now, everything is shattered.
"Who's ......?"
Wright's eyes were bloodshot, and the night's hangover had already dizzled his mind, and he scanned around viciously, he only wanted to know one thing.
Who is it that debunked itself behind his back??
Is it Petri the manager?
No, the manager has to consider the whole situation and focus on the team, and there will be no such idle time to deal with these small things in the team, and it is impossible to lower his own value to expose them.
So...... Is coach Westfaal?
It's even more unlikely, although Westphale has had a few arguments with him, he is still a stable coach in general, and he can't risk destroying the team's chemistry for this kind of thing.
Well, there seems to be only one answer.
"Gu ......!!!"
Suddenly, Wright rushed over from the crowd, pushed away Evans and Westfal in front of Gu Yu, and was about to smash his fist into Gu Yu's face.
"Say I'm not the same ......? You who speak ill of me behind my back, how noble are you than me......", "Smack! ”
Before the fist hit Gu Yu's face, he was grabbed by a pair of big hands.
"Antoine, don't ...... like that"
Jason Thompson, while grabbing Wright's fist with one hand, also stopped in front of Gu Yu with a broad back.
Behind him, Gu Yu had already turned around.
"It's good to get together and disperse, okay......?"
"You ......!"
Seeing that Gu Yu didn't take himself seriously at all, turned around and walked away, the last breath in Wright's heart was finally relieved.
“…… I'll go. ”
Putting down his fist, Wright took a deep look at Gu Yu's back and turned to leave.
This time, there was no applause, no blessings, and no reluctance from teammates.
Antoine Wright's NBA career, it seems, is completely over.
A few days later, the Sacramento Kings officially announced several news.
First, Hassan Whiteside, a rookie player in the team, was temporarily sent to D-League training.
Second, he terminated the contract with Antoine Wright, the second-position substitute, and wished Wright a wonderful career after being cut.
Thirdly, it is a transaction.
It's a small deal that's not shocking news in the context of the entire league. However, this transaction involves many aspects within the team, and it also poses a higher challenge to Gu Yu.
"Just now, the Sacramento Kings made two operations in a row!"
On the TV screen, the details of the trade have just been announced, and the Kings players are in the break from practice, although they already know the content of the trade, they are still gathered in front of the TV, waiting for the official announcement.
"First of all, the Kings will use Jermaine Taylor, who was traded from the Rockets with the 2011 second-round pick in 2011, to recall from the Development League to strengthen the team's No. 2 spot."
The host read the latest news that had just happened, but he was very emotionally stable, because the TV station knew very well that these two operations were not a big deal.
Secondly, in the Kings team, Carl Landry, who has been recovering from injuries since the beginning of the season, finally returned from injury, passed the physical examination, and was immediately traded to the New Orleans Hornets. The Hornets sent Marcus Thornton, the No. 2 scorer, to become the king's new player! ”
Taylor, Thorton.
What does it mean for the two points grabbers in the No. 2 position to come to the team at this time?
Although Wright has just been cut, there are clearly two players in the second position of the king, Garcia and Gu Yu, and two players with overlapping positions have been found, and the Kings ...... What exactly are you hapting??
"Cousin, this ......"
Cousins wiped his sweat, looked puzzled, looked back at Gu Yu beside him, and said worriedly: "At this time, the team has four scoring guards, what does the manager mean by this operation?" You can't have a session for everyone! ”
"It's just, it's inexplicable!"
Evans also frowned and said, "Except for Francisco, the rest of you are all masters of grabbing points, get together to play cards?" Still is...... Wait a minute! ”
Halfway through speaking, Evans' eyes lit up, and when he looked at Gu Yu, his eyes were full of worry.
Cutting a defensive player and getting two offensive players, Gu Yu's performance is rising, and his popularity is getting stronger and stronger, is it ......
"The manager isn't going to trade you?!!"
