Chapter 731: Internal Contradictions
For the New York Knicks, there is not much emotion, although there was a good sweet period with the management, but with the arrival of the first championship, the conflict between the locker room and the management has increased sharply. Both the boss and the general manager are trying to get the most important piece of the championship cake.
Therefore, they naturally began to squeeze out the biggest contributor to the championship, and even suppressed him.
By the very nature of human nature, this is a very natural consequence. It's like the ancient founding kings always liked to kill heroes, without him... The merit is high and the lord is shaken.
Therefore, for a team like the Knicks that can only share weal and woe but cannot share prosperity, there are not many feelings for chic.
But for the New York Knicks fans, Xiao has deep feelings. Unlike the Clippers fans who booed him to welcome him, the New York fans gave Xiao the biggest applause and cheers from the start, even though Xiao Xiao was even a player who could be reimbursed for the season at the time.
If you cast it with a peach, I will repay it with a plum.
The New York fans exchanged their trust and support for a slick all-out effort, and the two championships fulfilled the dream of New York fans.
However, it all ended when the alliance declared the deal null and void. You can even push it a little further.
From the moment Kupchak traded Nate Robinson, the foreshadowing was laid, and then the trade of DacomiliΕ‘iΔ to the Nuggets completely turned the table upside down...... Although Xiao Sa promised three consecutive championships, everyone already knew at that time that this was Xiao Sa's last tenderness to the city.
New York fans don't blame Dash, which is why they all wore Dash jerseys and walked into Madison Garden tonight to cheer on Dash.
Everyone knows that there is no way to continue the frontier, but... It would be nice to have a second look.
Xiao Dash thinks the same way.
"If McDonleavy, D'Antoni, and Donnie Walsh hadn't walked into ESPN's live broadcast room, maybe the Knicks could have won a championship this year." T-NT's host Earl Johnson said this with emotion when commenting.
"Not if, but definitely." Shackle O'Neal emphasized: "With the Knicks last year, there's no way any team can beat them. The Lakers can't have Chris Paul, and neither can the Miami Heat with Dwight, Howard, and the Miami Heat. β
"I don't know how to describe the New York owners now, when they were in trouble, they were desperate for a championship or even a playoff. And all of this has been brought to them. But after winning the championship, they can't wait to suppress the scrimson, what kind of psychology are they? "Charles Barkley is very puzzling.
"Out of Lao Tzu's money, Lao Tzu should be the number one contributor to the world." Kenny Smith mends his gun next to him.
"Xiao Shi stole the general manager's right to speak in the locker room, and stole the light of the boss in the hearts of the fans, and the whole world only knows Xiao Shan, but not the New York boss. Such an impact is indescribable. Perhaps, they just wanted to suppress Xiao Shi at the beginning and let him know who is the one who really has the right to speak. But... Xiao Dash is not an ordinary person, his net worth is greater than that of James Dolan and his son combined, and his wife is so rich. How could he possibly be at his mercy? So, he flipped the countertop and went out of control. β
"So, New York is the right place to be in the lottery, and their owners enjoy the feeling that they can't make the playoffs even if they pay a lot of wages and even pay a staggering luxury tax beyond the rest of the league. Because this will make people think that he is very rich, although he is wronged, but he has a full sense of existence. β
"Yes, you have to know that there are always people in this world who like to prove that they are rich with stupid things. For example, Isaiah Thomas paid tens of millions of dollars in damages for threatening a black aunt. β
"Hahahaha, I think James Dolan should really like an employee like Isaiah Thomas. Because he's always creating a feeling of 'wow, boss, you're so strong' for his boss. β
"So, is that why New York has received so many garbage contracts in previous years?"
"Can you find any other reason?"
ββ¦β¦β
T-NT blackened the owner of the New York Knicks at halftime, and they don't intend to show affection to the owner of such and such a team.
At this time, Blake Griffin didn't show Bob any affection in the locker room. The young privileged player ranted at head coach Bob in the dressing room: "I need an explanation, I'm not injured, I'm 10,000 times better than you think, why can't I get playing time?" I'm the future of Los Angeles, and you're just a stupid strength and conditioning trainer......"
Blake Griffin was really going crazy, and he said a lot of nasty things to Bob.
At this time, the atmosphere in the locker room was particularly tense. Everyone knows who Bob is, and Blake Griffin is arguing with Chic.
Bob is a good-natured man, and in the face of Griffin's rants and scolding, he seems calm and calm, and he proves his cultivation with a smile.
Bang!
Xiao Slammed open the locker room door, and he heard Griffin's roar from outside, and in fact many people outside, including some reporters.
Xiao Shi didn't close the door after kicking it open, and he didn't plan to solve the team crisis secretly, even though he knew that there were cameras outside aimed at the situation inside.
With a dashing break-in, the silence in the locker room became solemn, and the air seemed to begin to condense.
Blake Griffin's mouth opened slightly, and he didn't continue to curse, and his ranting stopped.
In the face of chic, he seems to lack confidence.
"Didn't your college coach, your high school coach, your middle school coach teach you how to respect people?" Xiao Shao walked over to Griffin's side and pointed to his nose in a lecture.
The chic action is very arrogant.
However, Griffin didn't reach out to open the finger, he just took a step back, then spread his hands and said weakly, "I just want an explanation...... Why didn't I get ......"
"The explanation is, you don't deserve to be the starting power forward for the Clippers." Xiao Dash told Griffin this very directly, very clearly, and honestly.
Griffin was dumbfounded, he obviously didn't expect Xiao Xiao's explanation to be like this...... Feed? Who am I? I'm Griffin, I'm the champion, and my talent is overflowing, don't you see? Now all the Clippers fans have high expectations for me, thinking that I'm the tomorrow of Los Angeles, and you're telling me right now... I don't deserve to be the starting power forward?
"You don't have anything to be proud of here, you're just a short-handed front forward who can score and jump. You can't give us what we need, do you think you're the future of the Clippers? I'm telling you, if you can't learn to defend, you're always just a framed offensive forward, and as you get older, you're going to be worthless. β
"After that, you sit on the bench. Your salary, the team will pay you the same... We won't trade you during this time, and we'll talk about other things until you learn to defend. β
"From today onwards, Daco Milicic is our new power forward, with Glenn Davis as the main replacement. And our champion, Mr. Yuanlang, because of his great deeds of roaring at the head coach, will be put on the list of unactivated forever. β
"When you learn to respect others, we'll talk about other issues."
Xiao was resolute and resolute, and directly announced the next disposition of Blake Griffin.
A champion Lang, a high-flying Clipper future, was pressed to the very end of the bench with a single sentence and became the patron saint of the water cooler.
Jerry West was sitting in the locker room, he didn't have any comments to make, he didn't even come forward to be a peacemaker.
Here, Xiao Shi has the final say!
This was already known when Xiao Shi returned to Los Angeles, and now it is just another verification.
Blake Griffin had no idea that his roar would usher in the fate of the cold bench, and he froze in place, but no one cared about him anymore.
His complaints earned him a golden VIP spot.
This is the worst result he can think of, and it is even more terrifying to be sold and traded.
Xiao Dash is going to abolish Griffin directly.
Old players like Vince Carter and Stephen Nash couldn't help but sigh, Dacomilisic was almost abolished like this, and there was nothing more cruel than pressing a potential player to the bench and not letting him play.
However, for chic. Griffin's future doesn't matter. The important thing is that he doesn't like to be provoked, and even more so he doesn't like his own people being pointed at and scolded...... Isn't scolding Bob the same as scolding me?
At the start of the second half, Griffin was not on the pitch and watched the whole game from the bench.
The Clippers got a big win at Madison Garden.
Xiao finished the game with 55 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds. The super big triple-double keeps Madison Garden on the go.
"It's a shame that I didn't live up to my promise. I thought I'd bring at least three championships to the Knicks, but... Some things are often out of your control. Players can only decide how they perform on the pitch, and what is off the pitch, we can't control it, we can only follow fate. β
When Xiao Shi was interviewed after the game, he said very regretfully.
This is Xiao Shi's apology to the New York fans, and it is always a thorn in the heart that what he said has not been realized.
A New York reporter asked Xiao Shao if he had ever thought about returning to New York.
The chic answer was direct and ingenious.
"The return of Mr. Donny Walsh with head coach D'Antoni has proven that I am no longer part of the New York Knicks' plans for the future, and I will not put myself in an awkward situation again. I'm living well in Los Angeles. β
What else can the New York reporter say about this answer? In fact, they shouldn't have asked this question, and the attitude of the Knicks boss couldn't be clearer.
Later, a reporter asked Griffin why he didn't get playing.
'Amare and Cameron didn't get a starting last year either, Griffin defended even worse than them and he needs a process of growth. When he's grown to a certain point, we'll keep him playing and he'll be the future of our team. β
Xiao Wan didn't say anything to death.
The reporter went on to ask questions about the ranting controversy that came out of the locker room at halftime.
'It's an internal problem in the team, it's very normal, there's going to be a lot of emotions going on in every dressing room, you don't have to read too much into it. Xiao Shi rejected the topic.
Then, the press conference also ended.
After the game against the Knicks, the Clippers had a day off in New York before heading to Brooklyn for a matchup against the Nets.
In the process, Griffin took a leave of absence and left the team, and he walked with emotions.
Or it would be more appropriate to describe it as a negative exodus.
Xiao Wan didn't stop him, and even asked Jerry West to buy a ticket for him, and he could fly wherever he wanted.
Jerry West obviously couldn't understand Xiao Shao's behavior, and Xiao Xiao just said to Jerry West: "It's necessary for the flowers in the greenhouse to be exposed to the sun." Whether he will stand out from the crowd in the future or achieve glory is determined by the decisions he makes now at this moment. β
Jerry Weiss nodded, then agreed. Whether he said anything else to Griffin afterwards is unknown.
Griffin's departure doesn't have much of an impact on the Clippers, it's just the loss of an interior attacker. Milicic and Jordan are more than enough to provide the Clippers' offense with above-the-top offensive capabilities.
And, what about the outside line?
The problem of offense has never been to interfere with the Clippers, in fact, the Clippers' offense still needs to be subtracted, and there are too many attackers.
The Nets began to rejuvenate after acquiring Deron Williams and Joe Johnson, Yin Guiwei quickly became the core of the team after joining the Nets last year, and his stats reached 18 plus 9 last year, and although the final rookie of the year was taken away by the champion, he has proven his potential.
This year, it is also focused on building.
In the game against the Clippers, he played well, with 21 points and 11 rebounds, and there was nothing wrong with it, but the Nets lost the game.
Lost to the dashing lore!
"I think we've played really well. To be able to get Xiao Sao to stand up and cast a lore is already a great achievement! In fact, if it wasn't for that last jumper, we would have won the game! "The head coach of the Nets looked proud, and it was a bit of a blessing to lose the game.
After the game, Xiao Sao didn't even have time to have a good meal with Yin Guiwei to catch up or something, so he had to get on a plane to Miami.
But the two agreed to see you all the stars.
Yin Guiwei is quite confident that he will be selected as an All-Star.
Xiao is happy to see it.
