Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Beating the Rockets and taking another win, the Sixers returned to the locker room, happy.

Including the previous defeats to the Nets and Magic, they have won three straight, which is something to celebrate for the 76ers who have had a poor record this season.

"The two goals from Yao Ming in the back startled me. If I scored, the result would be uncertain." Hawes said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't score."

"It seems that Yao Ming is about to transform." Iguodala said: "Looking at his style of play today, we have to be careful about his three-pointers when we encounter the Rockets in the future."

Hawes's expression froze, suddenly embarrassed.

However, when Iguodala changed his words, he also smiled and changed the subject: "Qin played very well today. This Chinese derby will definitely make the fans very enjoyable."

"That's for sure." Speights sat next to Qin Hao and patted Qin Hao's shoulder, "26 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, but it's a pity that the assists are one short, otherwise Qin would be the same as Yao Ming and get a double-double. already."

Today Yao Ming played very well and was very efficient. He got a double-double of 20+10, but Qin Hao was not bad. He played 34 minutes and scored 26 points, plus 4 rebounds and 9 assists. He was only one assist away from reaching double figures. Just a little less rebounding.

After all, the opponent has Yao Ming and Scola inside. Today, the 76ers are at a disadvantage in rebounding, more than a dozen less than the Rockets.

Qin Hao said with a smile: "It's useless to rely on me to play well, the main reason is that everyone plays well."

This is not modest. The 76ers played really well today. Except for the abuse on the inside, the outside has the upper hand. Iguodala scored 25 points, Brand 17 points, Holiday 12 points, Yang 8 points , Lu Wei scored 14 points, and 5 players in the team scored in double figures, and this was how they won the game.

Of course, it has something to do with the Rockets' Martin's cold hand in the second half. At first, Martin played well, but later he felt cold. He made 5 of 18 shots and only scored 13 points.

A group of players were having a heated discussion, but the head coach Collins had a gloomy expression, as if someone owed him millions. The team performed very well on the outside today, but the inside line was hammered again.

How many times has this happened?

"You must change the insider, you must trade." Coach Collins said.

After this game, the 76ers will not return directly to Philadelphia, and they need to play another road game.

The 76ers failed to win the following game and returned to Philadelphia with a defeat. Once back in Philadelphia, Coach Collins immediately found team general manager Ed Stefanski.

......

In the office, the two sat opposite each other.

Stefanski took out a box of cigars and handed one to Collins. He knew that Collins smoked and had smoked cigars together before: "Try this, a friend brought it back to me from Cuba, a local The most authentic cigars that are not available on the market.”

"Thanks, I don't smoke." Collins refused.

Stefanski frowned slightly, feeling that Collins was in a bad mood today, he shrugged his shoulders, cut a cigar and lit one for himself, took a sip, and said, "Doug (Doug Collins), you What's wrong, is there any trouble?"

The little old man didn't greet Stefanski, and went straight to the point: "General manager, didn't you promise me to improve the team's inside line, why hasn't it changed? Our inside line is really bad, Hawes is in a very bad state, Barty's ability is limited, and Speights still needs to be tempered, not stable enough. We need a strong insider, otherwise it will be too bad for some other teams."

Weakness in the interior has always been the weakness of the 76ers this season. Almost most teams will be beaten when they encounter it. The team's poor record now has a lot to do with this.

But when he heard this, Stefanski was a little unhappy, saying: "Doug, when we traded to Hawes and Nosinho, we asked you, and you recognized them. Now they are fighting. No, you want to trade and find a strong insider, but where can I find it for you?"

"I don't care about that." Collins didn't show the general manager at all, "This is your management's business, I'm only in charge of coaching, I must have a strong insider, or you will even fire me for the team's record. Can't improve."

"Coach Collins." Stefanski's face darkened, "Please pay attention to your words, you are the head coach of the team, and it is your responsibility and obligation to lead the team to achieve better results. I think you should look for problems in yourself, instead of blindly forcing our management."

As the team's general manager, Stefanski was disgusted by Collins' approach to threatening management.

What's more, it's not that he doesn't want to improve the team's inside line, but there are not many strong inside lines. How easy is it to trade for a strong inside line?

If it were that easy, instead of trading Hawes and Nosinho in the summer, they would just find a star insider.

When it comes to Hawes and Nosinho, Stefanski gets even more irritated.

In May, the team signed Collins as the head coach, and Nosinho also asked for his advice when he acquired Hawes in the trade, and he also recognized it.

In fact, Hawes averaged 10.0 points and 6.1 rebounds per game with the Kings last season, but this season he can only get a pitiful 5.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and no injuries. Stefanski I also think there is something wrong with your Collins coaching ability.

"I will naturally do my thing, but the management should also do their own thing." Collins stomped his neck, turned around and left.

"You..." Stefanski pointed at the door with a trembling finger, the cigar in his hand swayed, and when Collins disappeared, he retracted his hand and took a sip of the cigar, feeling very unpleasant. Well, "Fake." He cursed, and dropped the cigar on the ground.

A conversation broke down.

Although the general manager's office has good sound insulation, Coach Collins slammed the door and Stefanski was angry and cursed, but he was still seen and heard by many people, and rumors soon spread. People are talking about this.

A day later, even many media knew about it.

A reporter named jow was even more experienced, and almost completely exposed the quarrel between the two, which immediately caused an uproar in the outside world, and the discussion was overwhelming.

This made Stefanski even more annoyed. He felt that there was a spy in the team. He called his subordinates on the same day to find the spy, but unfortunately he failed.

Then the 76ers had to hold a press conference.

Stefanski attended in person and said that he and Coach Collins had only had a small dispute, and that some disagreements about work were normal and nothing.

This silenced the discussion.
