Chapter 271: Domineering control of the locker room
Just as Xiao Sao was about to intervene in this undercurrent dispute, Stephen Marbury in the corner stood up and said calmly: "Our purpose is to win, and pointless quarrels are useless." ”
Stephen Marbury tried to control the whole scene.
But, unfortunately, he is no longer the locker room leader he once was. Over the past two years, as his relationship with Isaiah Thomas has deteriorated and his image in the media has deteriorated, his prestige in the dressing room has also fallen to freezing point, and he has even been used as a target to be taken down after D'Antoni's arrival.
So, after he said this. Nate Robinson glared at him unceremoniously, and replied in a cold sarcastic tone: "Do you think you are still the same son of New York?" The Knicks aren't your team anymore. ”
Nate Robinson looked fierce, completely oblivious to his well-behaved and docile manner at Stephen Marbury many years ago, when he had followed Marbury's back.
Stephen Marbury turned his head to look at Nate Robinson's current posture. A wry smile of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
He didn't know if he was laughing at Nate Robinson's rhetoric or at his own inadequacy.
The only thing he knew for sure was that he was in a bleak mood.
At the same time, Xiao saw a hearty smile on the corner of D'Antony's mouth, and it was clear that D'Antoni was very happy to see Stephen Marbury eat deflated.
Seeing this, Xiao Sa made up his mind.
He walked over and reached out and threw Nate Robinson straight aside. Said coldly: "Nate Robinson." Blatantly called the cricket team fathers. Disrupt the locker room and ruin the team. From now on, you won't get a minute of playing time until you trade! ”
The chic words are not emotional, and they sound very cold, but the actual content is even more indifferent.
The locker room also fell silent with Xiao Sa's words, some people thought that Xiao Shi would come forward, but no one thought that Xiao Shi would actually freeze Nate Robinson as soon as he appeared.
Furious! Arrogant! Overbearing!
This was the first instinct of the running team to Xiao Sa's words.
But no one came forward to speak out. Because they know the weight of Xiao in this team.
After nearly five seconds, Nate Robinson finally reacted, and he resisted very strongly: "I don't obey what you say. I'm a contributor to the team and I've got the quality to change the course of the game. You're just a player, you don't have what a manager should do. The Knicks are everyone's Knicks, not your Knicks. You're just a rookie!! ”
Nate Robinson's words were somewhat incoherent, but his meaning was clear. The first is to emphasize his own role, the second is to accuse Xiao Shi of overstepping his bounds, and the third is to unite the forces that can be united and suppress Xiao Xiao with seniority.
I have to say. Nate Robinson played well in a hurry, and his every accusation stood up.
But. This is a fart for Xiao Xiao!
Xiao Shi is full of indifference.
Then, he indifferently retorted one by one: "First, it's none of my business whether you contribute to the team or not, and it doesn't matter whether you can change the direction of the game." Because the Knicks don't need you anymore from now on. Second, I'm qualified to be a manager, as long as I want to. Third, it's true that the Knicks aren't my Knicks alone, but... The Nicks can't live without me, and they can leave you lightly! ”
The chic rebuttal is not very sufficient, and there is even a feeling of strong reasoning.
But soon, he did a good thing.
He took out his mobile phone and made a call out, and soon the phone was connected, and then Xiao turned on the amplification, and Donnie Walsh's voice came: "Xiao, I'm watching T-NT live, you guys did a great job......"
Donnie Walsh's praise wasn't finished.
Xiao Shao interrupted him: "Donnie, there is one thing I need to ask you for. If a player openly provokes infighting in the dressing room, and questions senior players, and challenges my authority, can I throw him on the bench and never give him playing time......"
Before Xiao Shao's words were finished, Donnie Walsh asked very nervously and urgently: "Who?!" Who provoked you?? Who dares to provoke you? Tell me his name right away, I'll put him in the trade window right away, and I have to let every player on the team know that the Knicks are you... A dashing team. ”
The cell phone signal was excellent, so every word Donnie Walsh said reached the ears of everyone present.
Everyone knew that Dash was important to the Knicks, but they didn't expect it to be so important.
Xiao was very satisfied with Donnie Walsh's answer. For the silence of the entire locker room, Xiao Shan is even more satisfied. So, he smiled and continued: "I don't want to name names, I just want to confirm one thing, whether I have the right to do something like this, maybe a manager should do. ”
"Absolutely! Shaw! You're our future, and everything has started to be positive since you arrived. The boss was still telling me yesterday that you were a gift from God. So, you can do anything, even, you change the manager and we don't have a problem!! ”
Donnie Walsh's words came out.
The whole dressing room was filled with inhalations, and then all eyes were on D'Antoni.
D'Antoni's expression at this time seemed a little uncomfortable, he was very weak-hearted, but he still had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
He was afraid of losing his position as the Knicks, and he vowed that it would be difficult for him to find a better job after leaving New York.
But now Donnie Walsh's words made him so nervous.
"Okay, thank you and Mr. Dolan for believing in me, and I'm going to do my best to bring the Knicks to the playoffs this season."
"If we make the playoffs this year, the whole of New York City will go crazy. And I'll be sure to pay for a statue for you in Madison Square Garden! You deserve this glory! ”
"We'll talk about that then. Now I have to take control of my power and do what I have to do. Xiao smiled and then hung up the phone politely.
After hanging up the phone. The whole locker room was still silent.
Xiao Sa enjoyed the quiet. Because this silence means he's in control. Now everyone is relying on his snort, waiting for his next words.
Xiao Shi just tilted his head slightly, smiled and said to Nate Robinson, "Now what else do you have to say??" ”
"There's not much more to say. It's just a change of team, I'm a capable person. Nate Robinson conceded defeat: "I'd like to see how far a tyrannical man like you can take the Knicks." Into the playoffs? Dream on!! ”
Nate Robinson sneered.
"I didn't want to give you up completely before you said that, but your words made me determined to do so. Because as a player, you don't even have the least confidence. The Knicks don't need a scared stray dog, and you can pack your bags and head back to New York right now. Xiao disdainfully ordered the eviction of customers.
Nate Robinson snorted and stepped aside, still full of resentment. Still not optimistic that Xiao Sao can lead the Knicks to the playoffs.
However, his thoughts didn't matter to Xiao Dash at all.
To Xiao Shao, he was nothing more than the chicken that had been slaughtered. The expulsion was just a precautionary shot for the other players who were ready to make a move!
'I know a lot of people in the room were a little unbalanced because of the tactical line. But are you going to stir up trouble in the locker room because of that? Xiao glanced at the audience and asked angrily.
Under the questioning of the screeching, no one answered.
"I'm a very fair person, whoever has the ability will be in the position! I will not treat anyone with strength badly. If you want more playing time, better counts, use your efforts to impress me. ”
"I won't give up the run-and-bomb tactics, but I will stick to the positional attack."
"Everyone's doing it for themselves."
"That's it. Next let's go to battle! ”
After Xiao Sa said this, he turned around and walked out of the locker room directly.
Milicic and Eddy Curry hurried to follow. Jeffries and Stephen Marbury quickly followed.
The rest of the players looked at each other, they didn't expect Xiao Xian's power to be so strong.
In this case, they looked at D'Antoni, who at this time did not have much idea in his mind, because the initiative was no longer in his hands. Donny Walsh's words are already obvious, the Knicks are a slick team, and he, the head coach and general manager, is just a foil.
D'Antoni can't make up his mind.
Al Harrington, as a veteran player with a lot of experience, immediately stood in line and ran out quickly.
With the first, the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth also ran out.
This time, the locker room turmoil was resolved very smoothly, the chic domineering spirit was demonstrated, and the authority was established tallly.
It can be said that Xiao Xiao officially took over the Knicks.
And this qiē was something Nate Robinson didn't expect at all, originally he also wanted to use the power of the Running Bomb Gang and the head coach's foil to regain reuse, and by the way, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to tell the rookie to be chic, this is not the place where he alone has the final say.
But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Sa directly froze him as soon as he came up, and then made a phone call with the president to directly decide his absolute status in the locker room. And he has completely become the chicken of his prestige and sacrifice flag.
Nate Robinson is angry, sad, and confused because he doesn't know where he's going to go. Originally, he was very difficult in the NBA, not tall enough, insufficient defense, and offensive three-board axe, and it was really difficult to find a job in the NBA under such conditions. Only a run-and-gun team like the Knicks can live calmly, but now the Knicks are no longer his safe haven, and he has been swept away!!
On the other side, although D'Antoni was not swept away, he was not publicly beaten.
However, he had understood that his prestige would no longer be there, and that his authority had been completely taken away by Xiao Xiao.
Previously, he had acquiesced in Nate Robinson's behavior, believing that he would get the most out of it. However, the hope was lost.
In the future, I'm afraid that I will become a puppet completely.
