Chapter 127 Milicic's Heart Knot

After McGrady joined the Pistons, due to the lack of powerful helpers, the team's record was not very good. Before the match against the Warriors, it was only 4 wins and 3 losses. Carrying it on his own shoulders, he is currently averaging 31 points per game, ranking at the forefront of the current league scoring list.

But no one cared about McGrady's performance today, because the Warriors finally broke the shameful seven-game losing streak and won their first victory of the season.

Attentive fans have noticed that Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington can't bear the pressure a bit, and they start to pass the ball to late arrivals!
It is precisely because of the transformation of these two people that the late arrival broke the dilemma of scoring 20+ points in the half and almost zero points in the second half.

It's a pity that the fans didn't buy it. Jackson and Harrington failed to get the fans' understanding.

American's trolls are also super powerful. The pressure of the team's losing streak forced Harrington and Jackson to make changes.

After the game against the Pistons, Harrington and Jackson were completely honest. They were late in training to direct them to move, and they would no longer ignore being late.

But this does not mean that Late has gained control of the locker room. Late's plan to control the team has just completed a beginning.

According to the original idea, late should strive for more neutral players.

But something went wrong with Dakomirisic, who was a little too muddled.

Even if the old Nelson invited a psychological counseling expert to communicate with Milicic, he failed to achieve much good results.

Milicic feels like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. As long as he can still play in the league and he is not allowed to return to Serbia, everything else will be fine.

He gave people the feeling that "it's better to live than to die".Anyway, as long as you have money to take, it doesn't matter if you have more money or less money.

Anyway, he played in the NBA for a few years, which is almost enough to spend his whole life.

Late also tried to build a good relationship with Milicic, but the effect was mediocre.

Milicic will occasionally talk to late about his future plans, and return to Serbia to buy a large farm after retirement-this is his future plan.

It is really embarrassing that the genius who was highly anticipated in the past has been reduced to this point.

There are many reasons for his tragic fate, and Larry Brown is undoubtedly the biggest culprit.

Milicic, as the No. 34 pick, only got [-] appearances in his rookie season, and all of them were in garbage time. As a result, he was given an insulting nickname "Human Victory Cigar" by Pistons fans, which means that as long as he On the court, the Pistons have already won the victory, even if they are playing with a cigar in their mouths, it doesn't matter.

Larry Brown doesn't trust newcomers at all, and doesn't give Milicic a chance to hone at all, and he has a very domineering personality. As long as Milicic makes a slight mistake, even during training, Larry Brown will yell at him crazily.

Milicic was only 18 years old at the time, very immature mentally, and soon became unable to play under Larry Brown's scolding.

In fact, Milicic is a typical European insider with excellent shooting skills and solid skills at his feet, which is much more comprehensive than many black and thick.

It's a pity that Larry Brown can't see this. He can't wait for all the rookies to be the peak Jordan.

Milicic did not work hard in his rookie season. In order to adapt to the confrontation in the NBA, he increased his weight. The daily training was the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Larry Brown was hard-hearted and ignored Milicic's efforts.

Milicic, who had no way to change the environment, had to adapt to the environment by himself. He couldn't get the opportunity to play games for a long time, so he had nothing to do on the sidelines of the court, and he had to find a way to pass the time.

He dyed his hair and pierced his ears, but nothing more outrageous.

Because he knew that he could not leave the league. When he was very young, his father went to participate in the Bosnian War. He was selected by the local team, and he was able to achieve his current status only with the support of his mother.

Now that the Warriors are here, Old Nelson still believes that he has potential to be tapped.

Old Nelson believes that Milicic's figure, physique, speed, technique, and dexterity are incredible. In the old Nelson's eyes, Milicic is the most perfect center forward candidate.

It's a pity that the current Milicic has been ruined. He has lost the normality of a professional player, and everyone feels that he has no way to start.

When you get along with him, you will feel that he is an extraordinarily honest person. He will meticulously complete the training tasks assigned by the coach, and even practice additionally on his own, but he has not mobilized his enthusiasm. Zhong couldn't exert half of his strength in training at all.

Late once tried to use encouragement to let Milicic take more shots in an attempt to rebuild his confidence.

The result had no effect at all, and even after feeling that the team valued him, Milicic's performance quickly became pulpy.

He doesn't seem to want to be the best player, just muddle along.

Old Nelson is worried about this. If Milicic can't play, and the team's locker room is unstable now, the Warriors' lineup is really not enough.

On November 11, the Warriors played against the Nuggets at home. Carmelo Anthony turned into a melon. He took 22 shots, hit 18 goals, and scored 12 points with extremely high efficiency.

Under his leadership, the Nuggets had a very high overall shooting percentage, and finally overturned the Warriors in an away game 118:112.

Late performed steadily in this game. He scored 45 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

As a team insider, Milicic was blown away by Marcus Camby.

In the middle of the game, Milicic was even in a trance for a while, and the old Nelson left him on the court regardless, which made many fans completely incomprehensible.

Being late actually understands what old Nelson thinks. After all, he values ​​Milicic so much. Seeing his poor performance, old Nelson also looks very anxious.

It's a pity that his plan fell through. Milicic applied to end and refused to continue playing.

After the game, Nelson tried his best to defend his disciple in the face of media questioning: "Milicic still has a lot of potential, he may even become the top star in this league, and he is only 21 years old now. I hope everyone can be more tolerant to him and give him some time, I believe he will become the inside core of our Warriors."

The old Nelson who returned to the locker room almost lost his temper, probably because of his misfortune towards Milicic, but also because of his anger towards him.

Milicic didn't say anything about it, and the Warriors players got used to his indifference and didn't say anything.

Everyone took a shower and tidied up, and left separately. When they were late, they found that they had forgotten their mobile phones, so they turned back to the dressing room. Just as they walked in, they heard movement in the bathroom when they were late.

Is there anyone left?
I was late and didn't want to say hello. I took my mobile phone and was about to leave, but I heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop, and there was a faint cry.

"Why didn't I meet you sooner, why do you value me so much, I don't deserve your expectations at all, woo woo woo..."

Late turned around and glanced at the locker room, only to find that Milicic's wardrobe was still open. He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to check the situation.

The crying in the bathroom was intermittent, but Milicic never talked to himself again, making it impossible for Late to get more information.

He's used to keeping everything in his heart, and doesn't have expectations of the outside world, nor himself.

After waiting for about 30 minutes, Milicic came out of the locker room. When he saw Late standing at the door, he was also taken aback for a moment.

"What's up?"

Late smiled at him: "I heard it all just now."

Milicic looked surprised: "Eavesdropping is not a gentleman's behavior."

He didn't care about being late, and retorted: "Is that person hiding in the bathroom and crying secretly, is it a gentleman's behavior?"

Now Milicic couldn't stand it any longer, so he muttered twice, snorted, turned around and left.

I walked late to catch up, and asked him lightly: "Dako, you are very clear that both the coach and I believe that you still have great potential, but your performance is very disappointing. Don't you really want to do something? Do you want to keep hearing people booing you, mocking you as a human victory cigar, and negating all the hard work you put in on the court?"

It's a pity that the reality is not Riman, and a few words of cannon obviously cannot shake Milicic's will, and he turns a deaf ear to the late words.

I was prepared for being late, and then said: "Dako, I don't want to tell you the truth, you have experienced a lot in the United States. I just want to remind you that maybe the Warriors are your last chance. When laughing at you and saying that you are a history-level parallel importer, many team owners and managers also think the same way. When Downey completely loses patience with you, what do you think will be the ending waiting for you? where?"

Without waiting for Milicic to speak, he was late and immediately said: "Don't think about it, I think you should understand that no team will sign with you again, you will be kicked out, and you will return to Serbia in despair. You are a shame. And your mother and your sister will be ashamed because of you. They will continue to be hungry and cold and fear the future. Maybe one day a missile will explode on your head, and you will lose everything you have."

Milicic turned his head sharply and stared fiercely at late: "Enough, I know you want to motivate me, but I will never allow you to curse my family like this!"

Seeing that Milicic finally showed obvious emotions, Late knew that he had finally grasped the point.

"Well, I apologize if I offended you by saying these things, but I meant no harm, you know."
