Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 85 Confrontation
"Who does he think he is, LeBron is still Kobe, labor and management will be pressed to death on the bench."

"Didn't you say you wanted to trade him before?"

"It's not that easy to leave."

Chen Dazhuang's face is also not very good-looking, but he doesn't really care too much. After all, the current Antetokounmpo is not called Antetokounmpo, but just Giannis Antetokounmpo.

It's just a rookie, and the team's immediate combat power is actually not high. To be honest, if it weren't for his previous star collecting habit, Chen Dazhuang really didn't need it.

There was no problem in the next game. The game time that was originally planned to be given to Antetokounmpo was not given to the opponent. In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Bucks 117-89.

Yi Jianlian played 39 minutes in the game and contributed a triple-double of 41 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. This is also Yi Jianlian's first triple-double in his NBA career, which can be described as the data of a superstar.

In addition, there are two Timberwolves who scored in double figures. First, Middleton, who started the game for the first time after joining the Timberwolves, scored 16 points and 12 assists, and Oden, who was sitting at the basket, also contributed 20 points and 17 rebounds. .

These three are also the basis for the Timberwolves to win this game.

It's just that no reporter cares about how the Timberwolves won the game and how much they won.

What happened to the Timberwolves was what mattered to them.

At the press conference after the game, Chen Dazhuang brought Yi Jianlian to the scene. Just as he was seated, a reporter stood up and asked Chen Dazhuang about the incident just now.

"Chen, first contributed to the Timberwolves to win this game. We noticed that when Giannis was replaced, he used his actions to vent his dissatisfaction. May I ask what kind of dissatisfaction is it? Is it because of playing time? , or is there any conflict with teammates?"

"Guys, don't make such a fuss, I think this is a very normal thing, Giannis is still very young, he is just a rookie in the first grade, I think it is very normal to be dissatisfied with his performance in the game, and even I think it is A good thing, it shows that he is aware of his own problems. This is a very important thing for a rookie. The reason why many of our rookie players are difficult to play is precisely because they lack this ability of self-criticism, so I also hope that You should not put your mind on this matter, we have to give young people the opportunity to make mistakes so that they can grow."

On the way to the press conference, Da Zhuang had already thought of an excuse. This matter is actually not that troublesome. After explaining himself in this way, let Antetokounmpo stand up and talk about this reason tomorrow, and everything will be fine. You can also reap a wave of goodwill.

None of the reporters off the court believed what Da Zhuang said.

Da Zhuang also knew that these bird people would not believe him, but it didn't matter whether he believed it or not, besides, it didn't matter whether it was true or not to these reporters.

It's just that what Da Zhuang didn't know was that he really thought of things simply this time.

"Chen, as far as I know Giannis has been dissatisfied with his playing time."

"Oh? Really? Why didn't I know about this, Mr. Reporter, it seems that you know more about the Timberwolves than me, the head coach. I have to say that you are too good. What I want to tell you is that our team is currently The atmosphere here is very good, and the relationship between players is also very harmonious. No matter who you are here, whoever is in good condition can get more playing time, so please don't make random guesses. "

After the press conference, the Timberwolves returned to Apolis that night. Da Zhuang thought that this was the end of the matter, but when he came to the team the next day, he found that things were far from what he thought. So simple.

The next morning, a reporter from the Washington Post interviewed Antetokounmpo's agent Alex Zaratsis.

"Chen is a dictator in the Timberwolves. Giannis approached him many times and wanted to communicate with him about playing time, but Chen directly rejected them all. He is nepotism. He is not a qualified head coach at all. The rookie has only ten minutes of playing time in the next game under his command, which is tantamount to killing a talented young man. He would rather believe in a player who is already in his 30s than give a young man Opportunity, I think it is a tragedy for the Timberwolves to have such a head coach. At present, many teams in the league have great interest in Giannis. Next, I hope that if you are not willing to give Giannis a chance, Chen, then let it go He's gone, don't kill a young guy with a passion for basketball."

George's bombardment of Chen Dazhuang immediately caused a sensation, and Chen Dazhuang was pushed to the forefront by some caring people.

"Chen, something happened!" Da Zhuang in the office was discussing the next month's rotation with Smith and the others. Milt walked in suddenly, and then directly turned on the TV in Da Zhuang's office.

Immediately, almost all news reporting on the NBA was rebroadcasting the video of George's interview.

After reading it, the faces of Smith, Augmond and Benoy were extremely ugly, but Chen Dazhuang's face didn't change much.

"This guy is sick, or his brain is flooded. Giannis' contract is with us. He is not afraid that I will pin Giannis to death on the bench." Da Zhuang didn't understand the opponent's operation.

Antetokounmpo's contract was transferred from the Bucks. As a rookie, the Bucks and Antetokounmpo signed a 4-year 860 million contract. 2015 and 2016 are team options.

What is a team option, that is to say, in 2015, the Timberwolves can consider whether to implement the original contract.

"Chen, your thinking is too simple. This guy's affairs don't matter. The trouble is that some people are behind it." Milt said.

"What do you mean?"

"You continue to look down."

Sure enough, when the TV appeared, a reporter from the Washington Post interviewed Spurs coach Popovich, and the question asked was his impression of Antetokounmpo.

"This is a player who is completely underestimated in the draft. Both his talent and his love for basketball are top-notch. To be honest, I am very surprised why Chen is unwilling to use such a young player. I believe that any No head coach should give up on such a player, and Giannis should be the focus of any team."

Fuck, this old guy really doesn't miss any chance to beat himself.

The interviews on TV were far more than that. Some guys who had conflicts with Chen Dazhuang before stood up one after another at this time, expressing their optimism for Brother Antetokounmpo, one by one wishing to praise Brother Antetokounmpo as Jordan's successor.
