i'm really an insider

Chapter 180 177: Cracks inside the defending champion (4k begging for tickets)

When interviewed by reporters after the game, Rasheed Wallace also experienced the feeling of being stepped on by others.

"Rashid, is Wei's defense that strong? Do you really have no chance at all?"

Wallace glared at the reporter, about to yell at him.

Are you asking this question! ?

But there is no way, who made his hit rate so low today?Being picked on is also inevitable.

"It's just the first game of the series. It's too early to discuss who will win and who will win." Tianzun replied angrily.

"But I'm not discussing winning or losing. I just want to know, is Wei's defense really that strong? Is there really nothing you can do?" The reporter was relentless and did not intend to save face for Tianzun.

"This shit." Rashid glanced at the reporter in front of him, but found that the other party's eyes were not afraid at all.

I have encountered a hard stubble today.

Nonsense, Indian City reporters, can you be gentle with the Pistons players?

After the Pacers lost last season, how did the Detroit media mock the Pacers?

A set meal of soft egg + hillbilly was arranged.

Now, all the journalists from Yincheng must be brought back!

This is not just a war between two teams, but also a war between two cities!

"Way's defense today was not bad, but that's all."

After Tianzun finished speaking, he almost vomited.

I was forced to praise Wayne!

You reporters are so vicious!

Angry, aggrieved and helpless, Rasheed's mood at this time is simply a true portrayal of the psychology of the entire Pistons.

If they lost a few more points today, the Pistons probably wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

But it just happened to lose in the last few rounds. This feeling of hope but seeing the hope shattered is more uncomfortable than having no hope.

If it weren't for Wayne's difficult pull-up jump shot, Wayne would be so to blame!

"It's all because of Wayne!" In the locker room, Larry Brown said the same to the players.

"If there is no Wei, I think it should be us who won the first game."

Brown Sr. looked at his players and found that they seemed to agree with what he said.

Because everyone has anger on their faces.

Anger is right. If you are not angry, how do you mobilize your emotions?How can I fool you?

"So, next game, I want you to be tough, to piss him off, to piss him off! You know what I mean?"

Old Larry pushed his glasses, and there was no anger in the eyes behind the lenses, only a cold light.

Everyone of the Pistons, you look at me, I look at you, and you seem to understand something.

Does a Hall of Fame coach have to be perfect?

Do not make jokes.

There is no perfect person in this world.

What's more, he's just a basketball coach.

In order to win, Larry Brown actually doesn't care much about means.

If you can't beat him, and you can't let him join, then let him disappear.

In fact, isn't that true of most old-school coaches in the league right now?

Popovich, George Karl, which one is good?

They have all broken out their own world in the basketball world, but they also all have such bad behaviors.

However, it was all covered up by the victory.

victory.

In the world of competitive sports, victory can cover everything.

Larry. Brown knows this truth.

With vicious trash talk and small gestures, Wayne was lured into a foul, forced into sex, and got him ejected.

Of course Larry Brown knew that this was not an aboveboard trick, but so what?

If he wins, people will only call him a champion coach.

After Larry Brown finished speaking, he got up and went to the player tunnel.

Because his phone rang, and it was from Knicks general manager Isaiah Thomas.

This is a call that is not convenient for the players to hear.

"Hello, Isaiah."

"I'm sorry Larry, you are only a little away from winning. As I said, the Pacers are a tough team." Although Isaiah Thomas said sorry, his tone seemed very happy.

"We'll get it back, no matter what."

"Of course I believe in your ability, Larry. By the way, how are you thinking about the contract?" Isaiah Thomas called, not just to greet him.

That's right, as the general manager of the Knicks, he is poaching a champion coach who is preparing to lead the team to the championship!

What's even more surprising is that Larry Brown had a very harmonious conversation with the Knicks without telling the team management.

His heart is all on the big contract offered by the Knicks.

"I think it's pretty good. If there are no accidents, I will coach my hometown team next season."

At this time, Billups came out and wanted to discuss some details of the game with Larry Brown.

But as soon as I found Brown, I heard what he just said, "If nothing else happens, I will coach my hometown team next season."

"What are you doing Larry? We're in the fucking Eastern Conference semifinals and we're down 0-1!"

Billups became anxious in an instant, and swears at his coach.

Truth be told, Billups could understand Brown leaving for the money.

New York is a big city, and there is a lot of exposure there.

Billups didn't expect Larry Brown to spend his entire life in Detroit.

But, can you wait until the end of the season to think about these damn things?

Isn't the most important thing now to unite and defend against the enemy together?

A coach, after losing such a crucial game, is negotiating a coaching contract with another team.

How does this make Billups think?

In fact, earlier this year, when the Pistons went to New York for an away game, Larry Brown was caught meeting with the Knicks owner, which caused some criticism within the team.

It's just that as time goes by, the influence is slowly diluted.

Billups never imagined that Larry Brown was still thinking about the Knicks' big contract at this moment.

You are too scumbag.

"As you can see, I'm negotiating with the Knicks." Larry Brown didn't hide it, he didn't really care what his players thought.

If he cared, he wouldn't have Milicic on the bench for two full seasons.

Billups must admit that although Detroit won the championship after Larry Brown arrived, he wanted to fight Brown's old punch countless times.

"We're fucking in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and we're down 0-1, Larry." Billups had no choice but to emphasize this point.

"I know, you just have to do your own thing, Chauncey."

After finishing speaking, Brown continued to pick up the phone in front of Billups: "Isaiah, are you still there?"

Billups was furious. He felt that Larry Brown was no longer with the Pistons.

He originally came to discuss the details of the game with Brown, but now, he doesn't want to say a word to Brown.

"We can do without him!"

Billups thought so.

※※※

Billups didn't tell his teammates about Larry Brown's contract negotiations with the Knicks during the playoffs. He didn't want to affect the team's locker room atmosphere.

Where Brown is going is out of Billups' hands.

He just wants to finish this year's playoffs well and strive for two consecutive championships, that's all.

When the Pistons were experiencing a crisis of trust between the head coach and the players, Wayne did go to the press conference again on the Pacers side.

Before that, most people thought that no matter who won the best rookie between Okafor and Wayne, the gap would be very small.

But the final result of the vote surprised everyone.

"Wei alone won 61% of the first vote, and Emeka Okafor only had 34.1%. The remaining four candidates equally divided the remaining 5% of the first vote. Although he was not elected unanimously, Wayne's vote rate is quite terrifying!"

At the press conference, the Pacers press officer announced the voting data for reporters.

To be honest, Wayne was also surprised.

He thought to himself that his first vote might only account for about 45%.

Under normal circumstances, if the first vote can account for 45%, you can basically win the award.

As a result, 61% came directly.

It's like six people competing for 6 tickets, but Wayne got 100 tickets alone, and the rest had to be divided among five people.

You can know how popular Wayne is, and how far the others are from him.

Okafor's double-double per game was just buried.

After all, there is no judging standard for the Best Rookie Award. It doesn't mean that if you can average a double-double per game, you will definitely win the award.

Wayne's exposure and popularity this season have far surpassed Okafor's, so it makes sense to get more votes.

The worst thing is actually not Okafor, his 34% of the votes is already quite a lot.

The worst one is the champion Happy Beast.

Also averaging a double-double per game, his votes only accounted for 1.23%, which is a bit miserable to be true.

A group of high-ranked rookies were beaten by the 12th pick Wayne.

After seeing the results, Okafor found that he was not as discouraged as he thought.

A year ago, he just wanted to fight Wayne to the end and get back what he lost in college in the NBA.

But since the All-Star Game, Okafor has been convinced by Wayne.

Okafor is ashamed of Wayne's strength and leadership.

Moreover, Wayne's behavior of sharing the MVP of the rookie game with the whole team also made Okafor's hostility towards Wayne less intense.

Therefore, although Okafor was still a little disappointed when he lost the election this time, he was not particularly sad.

This result, he had expected.

how to say?

Now, Wayne has jumped out of the circle of competing with rookies.

Now it's Duncan, it's Garnett, it's players like Rasheed Wallace who have headaches because of Wayne.

Wayne is also competing with such players.

Okafor?Howard?

They were no longer on the same channel as Wayne.

Wayne's competition is one level higher than theirs.

When Wayne is going to compete with the rookies again, it's a dimensionality reduction blow.

当年奥拉朱旺也在新秀赛季轰下了两双，而且数据是夸张的20.6分11.9个篮板1.4次助攻1.2次抢断2.7个盖帽。

The results of it?Michael Jordan is the best rookie.

No matter how miserable Okafor is, can it be as miserable as Olajuwon?

So, simply accept the facts with peace of mind.

In the applause of everyone, Wayne held up the transparent best rookie trophy, an honor that can only be obtained once in a lifetime.

In his rookie season alone, Wayne had two personal honors.

This can't help but make many people put Wayne in the category of "supernova".

To put it bluntly, it is "superstar reserve".

After receiving the trophy, Wayne was indeed a little happier than last time.

After all, the best sixth man does not have the 100 million reward clause, but the best rookie does.

As a guy who was still chasing teammates for free pizza at Christmas the year before last, it would be a lie if you said that Wayne has no feelings for money.

Tony: You only remember the pizza!

Wayne won the best rookie, which also filled the regret of Chinese fans.

Because that year, Yao Ming was only 5% away from the best rookie of the year.

But now, Chinese fans no longer have to regret it.

After winning the Best Rookie Award, Wayne invited his teammates to go home for a night of fun.

Of course, there is no wine or sweets, it's purely just gathering together to play cards and blow beeps.

Everyone has not forgotten their goals for this year.

The next day, still at the Bankers Life Arena, it was still Pistons VS Pacers.

As soon as today's game came up, Wayne found something was wrong.

At the beginning, when Tianzun was defending, he blatantly gave Wayne a big elbow.

Maybe Tianzun talked too much trash and roared too loudly.

But in fact, he rarely does it directly.

To put it bluntly, it's still a bit cowardly.

But as soon as I come up today, I will directly serve the dry goods!

Wayne doesn't know if this guy took dynamite or something, are you jealous that I won the best rookie?

Even if I don't take it, you can't take it either!

Don't look at how old you are!

shameless!

But then Wayne discovered that not only Tianzun, but the entire Pistons seemed to be targeting him!

Become a public enemy?

Pushing, elbowing, punching, trash talking

To be honest, Larry Brown admired Wayne's mentality.

When a serious rookie encounters this situation, his mentality collapsed early, and he probably went back to his mother crying.

Refer to Milicic, who is sitting on the Pistons bench at this time.

But Wayne has been gritting his teeth and persevering, patiently.

Never did anything out of the ordinary.

But the more this is the case, the more blatant the Pistons are.He even extended his grasp to other people.

Finally, in the middle of the second quarter, when Big Ben used a very rough charge to knock out the old Payton who made a layup, Wayne rushed to Big Ben immediately, cursing.

Colton was in high spirits all of a sudden.

Others are making noise, it's purely a joke.

When Wayne goes up, the nature will be different!

This is the first time since the two games, Wayne personally joined the quarrel!

"Wei appeared in front of Ben Wallace. He stood between Payton and Ben. He seemed very dissatisfied with Ben's foul just now!"

Well, Wayne himself was violated so badly in the first quarter that he didn't explode.

This time his teammates suffered, and Wayne exploded instead.

In some respects, Larry Brown really liked Wayne.

Unfortunately, they are enemies now!

The guy who was most likely to do it, he finally ended up.

Everyone in the Global Pavilion held their breath.

Only Larry Brown was gearing up. For the first time in his life, he wanted Big Ben to be beaten so much.

Moreover, it is the kind of beating that does not fight back
