Chapter 40: Submission of Thorn Strategy
Early the next morning, Jonny went to Michael Leoncar's office, he didn't hide it at all, and Derek Coleman, who was training absent-mindedly in the arena, also noticed, he just pouted, and of course he had a clear idea of what Jonny was going to do in the office. However, Derrick Coleman is not worried at all, he still thinks that even if he is blocked by Jonny and blocked by the Celtics, he can get a big contract after the contract expires.
And Jonny doesn't think so, what kind of state is Derek Coleman in now? It can be said that Derrick Coleman is already in a state of exhausting his talent, if he can't play in the next season, with Derrick Coleman's attitude of training, it can be said that Derrick Coleman can leave the NBA next season, and no team will want him.
And Derrick Coleman, who is already close to retirement, naturally hopes to be able to mix a super contract before retirement to raise enough funds for his life after retirement.
Jonny entered the office, Karl had been waiting here for a long time, Karl naturally knew what happened in yesterday's game, and now, he was also struggling with how to deal with Derek Coleman.
As soon as Jonny entered, Carl greeted him. And Jonny also knew what Carl was worried about now, so Jonny didn't talk nonsense, looked at Karl, and then looked at Rick Pitino who was sitting on the side, and said directly: "Mr. Carl, Coach Rick." I thought so, give Derrick Coleman a three-game ban on the grounds of not defending, and after three games, we'll see. ”
Karl was pleasantly surprised by Jonny's idea, and Rick Pitino was relieved that they wouldn't have to worry about Derrick Coleman's problems for at least for the next few games.
And for Jonny. Giving Derrick Coleman a three-game ban is only the first step, and then he will tell Derrick Coleman with the facts that if he doesn't try to defend in the game, he will lose his job in the NBA and eventually retire with the millions he has earned throughout his career. And in the case of a sharp increase in NBA wages, he can only look at the tens of millions of contracts and blush.
After dealing with Derrick Coleman's affairs for the time being, the Celtics have not yet come out of the shadow of the loss to the Bulls. It met another Eastern powerhouse, the Miami Heat. At the beginning of the season. The Celtics beat the Heat without Alonzo Mourning, and now that they're up against the Heat after Alonzo Mourning's return, it's clear that this is different.
Perhaps this is another remake of the second game of the Celtics vs. the Bulls, with Alonzo Mourning's heat back in the same way that the Bulls have Scott Pippen again. It's a different team, with Scott Pippen's Bulls offense better than before, and Alonzo Mourning's Heat defense more than a notch better than before.
And because the last game has just ended two days, Jonny has been fighting for a full 45 minutes, and the whole person is already tired. In the continuous campaign, Jonny didn't play much time in this game, he didn't get much playing time, and the Celtics also lost this game, very simply lost, and the Celtics didn't want to win.
In the last game, the main team almost fought for more than 40 minutes, and the physical strength of this game was a little insufficient, and the Celtics chose to selectively give up this game, for the Celtics, their strength is not sure to be able to enter the playoffs, so it is very important for the Celtics to selectively give up some games.
The loss against the Heat gave the Celtics two straight losses, but the Celtics' main players also got enough rest in these days, they didn't lose all the time, three days later, they won at home against the Milvolsky Bucks, and then, they won a back-to-back victory, 97-88 against the Washington Wizards, after two consecutive wins, the atmosphere in the Celtics team was calm again.
Before the game against the Heat, Rick Pitino announced that the team would suspend Derrick Coleman for three games, and seeing that the three games had passed, Derrick Coleman returned again.
And the Celtics' opponent in this game is the Detroit Pistons, a team with Grant Hill and Jerry Starkerhouse, and Derrick Coleman will also meet his old teammates in this game. However, in this game, Jerry Stackhouse was absent due to injury, which is good news for the Celtics.
Although the news was good and the situation was very favorable to Celtic, the final result of the game was very disappointing for Celtic, and they lost again. And this time they also lost to Derek Coleman's defense. Although the Pistons did not deliberately attack Derrick Coleman, Pistons power forward Bisendler still scored 31 points in this game, plus 15 rebounds, directly destroyed Derrick Coleman, and the Celtics lost the game.
Derrick Coleman is still not defensive and does not take the threat of a ban to heart, but this has always been expected by Jonny, and if the thorn is really so easy to tame, Derrick Coleman will not go unwanted.
After the game against the Pistons, Rick Pitino announced another ban on Derrick Coleman, this time the number of games has been increased, and Derrick Coleman will also be banned for five games for his inaction on the defensive end!
After the ban was announced, no one in the Celtics cared about Derrick Coleman, but Jonny, who felt that he had to talk to Derrick Coleman, so that his second and decisive step could really be implemented, and Derrick Coleman could really be relented.
After the game against the Pistons, the Celtics were given another two days off, and at the end of the day's workout, Jonny chose to leave the court early and go to the treatment room. After being teammates with Derek Coleman for almost two weeks, Jonny also figured out Derrick Coleman's habits, and at this time, Derek Coleman would use the excuse that he needed physical therapy to skip the last period of training.
And no one in the Celtics team will be like him, and it can be said that Derrick Coleman's attitude is extremely poor both in games and in training.
Jonny entered the physiotherapist, and Judi Seto began to massage him, and at this time Derek Coleman was lying next to Jonny, and he didn't use his eyes to look at Jonny the whole time he entered the room. (To be continued......)
