On this day, the Rockets did not play, and McHale did not arrange training, so he called Wen Hao and asked Wen Hao to go to his temporary home in Houston.

Wen Hao was a little flattered, this was the first time in his entire career that a coach invited him to his home. However, Wen Hao knew after a little thought that he was in a slump in the past two games, and Harden did not pass the ball to him. McHale must have seen something as a head coach, so I'm going to ask myself to talk about it.

So Wen Hao immediately took a taxi to the head coach's house. When he arrived at McHale's house, McHale blindly entertained Wen Hao, but did not say anything.

Wen Hao was a little puzzled, this is not like McHale's style. But since McHale didn't say it, he didn't want to ask too much, and the two of them just gossiped about you and me. Because the relationship between the two was average before, the conversation also seemed a little jerky. However, Wen Hao can see that McHale is trying to make up for the mistakes he has made in the past.

After about ten minutes, the doorbell rang. Wen Hao rushed to open the door first, but when the door was opened, he and the people outside the door were stunned. I saw that it was none other than the boss of the Rockets, the bearded Harden.

Harden was obviously surprised when he saw Wen Hao. Wen Hao got out of the way, he passed by Wen Hao, and the two did not say hello.

Arriving in the living room, McHale beckoned them to sit down and poured their favorite beverages. Of course, it was a cup of black tea that was given to Wen Hao, and McHale occasionally heard from Jones that Wen Hao liked this flavor.

The three of them sat there, and no one spoke for a few minutes. Harden shook the drink glass in his hand and finally spoke: "Coach, if it's okay, I'll go first." ”

"No, no, no, James, of course it's okay to call you here," McHale stopped, "I think you are both smart men, and if I called you both but no one else, you should know what is going on." Can you tell us what you think? ”

Wen Hao glanced at Harden and didn't speak. In this case, he didn't know what to say. Although he can use his wits to control the whole court and play with opponents on the court, he is really not very good at interpersonal relationships.

Harden didn't even raise his head, and he didn't mean to speak at all.

McHale shook his head lightly and said, "It's not just me, everyone in the Rockets knows that there is something wrong between the two of you. It's not terrible to have problems, every team has had or is having some problems. All we have to do is find a way to solve the problem. The best way to solve problems between players is to sit down and talk, communicate well and say what they think. After talking thoroughly and understanding what the other party meant, it is possible to solve the problem. Do you say yes? ”

Harden: "......"

Wen Hao: "......"

Neither of them spoke.

McHale is really helpless, he has been a coach for so many years, and he has encountered countless problems between players, but no matter what the problem, as long as the players are willing to speak, they will definitely find a way to solve it. But now none of these two are willing to speak, how can this be done?

In desperation, McHale could only name him: "James, you are the number one person in our team, or you should say it first, tell me what you really think in your heart." ”

Harden raised his head when he heard McHale say this, didn't look at Wen Hao, just looked at McHale and said, "Okay, then I'll say it." My thinking is: a team can only have one boss, and the Rockets should be me. There was a slight domineering in his tone, and after he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to glance at Wen Hao as if he were nothing.

McHale had long known Harden's thoughts, and when he heard Harden say this, he didn't feel strange in his heart, and turned his head and asked Wen Hao: "Wen, what do you mean?" ”

Wen Hao had already guessed Harden's thoughts, but he had never heard Harden admit it in person, and today Harden finally said it himself. But Wen Hao wanted to laugh, he felt a little ridiculous, he never meant to rob the team boss. He looked at McHale, then at Harden, and said slowly, "I just want to win." ”

When McHale heard this, his heart relaxed a little. But he felt that Wen Hao didn't understand enough, so he asked, "Do you mean that you never thought of competing for the position of boss with James?" ”

"Never." Wen Hao said firmly. All he wants is a win, a championship. He has no interest in the status of the team's boss at all. The strength he showed on the field had nothing to do with his own ideas. When it comes to matches, he only thinks about winning, so he will do whatever it takes to win the game, which inevitably makes people feel like he wants to take the position of boss. Many times he doesn't even care about the coach's tactics, let alone the majesty of the boss.

McHale saw that Wen Hao had affirmed that he did not mean to compete with Harden for the boss, so he completely relieved his heart and comforted Harden a few words.

Wen Hao is not good at interacting with people, and when he saw that what should have been said had been said, he said goodbye to the coach and Harden, and he was in a hurry to go back to training.

When Wen Hao left, McHale said to Harden: "James, I think you really misunderstood Wen, he won't compete with you for the position of the team leader." ”

"Hmph, the ghost believes it." Harden said coldly, "Coach, you were lied to by him. ”

McHale smiled and shook his head: "No, I believe him. ”

"Why?"

"Through more than two months of contact, I have a preliminary understanding of what kind of person he is. He just said that he was completely sincere, James, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

"Am I careful?" Harden's face changed slightly.

McHale was also a little impatient, and Harden was like getting into the tip of a bull's horn, recognizing a dead reason and crashing into it. "Yes," he said. James, as the boss of the team, should be magnanimous and tolerant, and can't go against someone on the team just because that person is good. In that case, our team will never get better. If you look at Jordan, in a game, the team's little brother was in a hurry, and yelled at Jordan to 'help me cover', Jordan didn't hesitate to help the little brother cover, and finally let the little brother hit the shot, and James, who yelled at Chalmers on the sidelines, but when he realized his mistake, he immediately apologized to Chalmers. These are all tolerant of people, so they can be the boss of the team. As a boss, not only must you play well, but also your character is very important. You can't be too narrow-minded, you know? ”

"You say I'm narrow-minded?!"

McHale's last sentence angered Harden: "You say I'm narrow-minded? If I had been narrow-minded, would I have allowed him to stay with the team until today? He was expelled from the team a long time ago. ”

"James, listen to me......"

"I don't want to hear it! Call me narrow-minded, well, I'll show you narrow-mindedness! Harden slammed the cup on the table and walked out the door menacingly.

"James, where are you going?" McHale shouted hurriedly from behind.

"Go to the general manager, find the boss, and I'll let them get rid of that city hero now." Harden didn't look back and walked outside.

McHale has a bad leg, and by the time he chased him out the door, Harden was long gone. McHale shook his head, he originally wanted to make a big thing a small thing and a small thing into nothing, but he didn't expect that his words would make things bigger and bigger. Sighing again, McHale hurriedly dialed the phone number of the general manager Morey, who still wanted to have a few words of laughter with McHale, but McHale was not in the mood at all, and told the original story just now, and finally said: "James will go to you and Alexander now, and ask you to fire Wen Hao." You must persuade him well, even if you really can't persuade him, you can't open Wen Hao. To be honest, Wen Hao's role in the team is not very obvious now, but if it comes to the playoffs, he will definitely make the Rockets stronger. ”

"You still need to say this, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts." Morey hung up the phone, also sighed slightly, and thought to himself: If Harden can get along with Wen Hao, with the strength of the two of them, they can definitely bring the Rockets to a new height. It's a pity......

After thinking about it, Morey called his boss Alexander again, and the two met in Alexander's office.

……

When Harden arrived at Alexander's office, Morey and Alexander were waiting for him. Harden was aggressive, and he didn't say hello, and said, "I asked to open that Chinese guy now." ”

"There are two Chinese in our team, which one are you going to drive?" Morey asked with a smile.

"Which one else, naturally, is the No. 5." Harden's momentum is undiminished, and it seems that he can overwhelm the two with his momentum.

"Why?" Morey asked

"No, it's just that he doesn't like it."

Alexander laughed twice and said, "James, take your breath." It's not impossible for you to ask us to fire him, but you have to give us a reason. You know, his contract is until the end of the season, and if we open him now, then we will have to pay him a lot of liquidated damages. You can't just let me spend tens of millions of dollars just because you don't like him, right? You know, I'm a businessman, and a businessman doesn't do anything that he knows will lose money. ”

"Then I don't care, in short, Team Rocket has him without me, with me without him." Harden is still tough.

Morey and Alexander glanced at each other, and it seemed that things were not as easy to solve as they thought. Harden has said "with him without me, with me without him", it is natural that there can only be Harden and not Wen Hao. For the Rockets, Harden's status is naturally much higher than that of Wen Hao. Of course, Harden's first season with the Rockets brought a team that certainly didn't have a superstar into the playoffs, and his influence was unmatched by the Rockets. If one of these two had to give up, it certainly couldn't be Harden.

But if there is Wen Hao, the chances of the Rockets winning the championship will increase greatly, and Wen Hao can't easily give up. Besides, as Alexander said, if Wen Hao is opened now, in addition to paying Wen Hao's salary normally, he will have to increase the liquidated damages of more than 10 million yuan, which will really hurt him.

Thinking of this, Morey and Alexander both nodded slightly. It seems that there is only one way.
