Chapter 199: Larry is out of class

In this year's preseason, the Wizards were scheduled to play in the China Game, but not with the Rockets.

When Yao Ming and Jiang Dalin met in the NBA, it was definitely a "big dish". It was not something that should be served to everyone in this kind of preseason game.

The Nets are playing preseason games with the Wizards. Because Jiang Dalin and Jiang Dalin are college alumni, and the two have mutual achievements in the dunk contest, Jason Richardson is now very popular in China.

Just like Tracy McGrady back then.

I heard that I also received two business contracts from mainland China.

This is the benefit of being brothers with Chinese players.

Before the game started, the hug between the two people also caused huge cheers.

It was rare for Jiang Dalin to play with the cheers being all in Chinese. He was also very eager to score in this game. He completed dunks under the basket and made everyone inside the Nets numb.

At the end of the game, Jiang Dalin scored 38 points. On the Nets side, Kenyon Martin had practiced hard this season and thought he was good again. As a result, after the first game of the preseason, he already knew

Well, this season is another year of playing with you.

Jiang Dalin seems to be more terrifying than before!

Well, that round of the finals did allow him to complete a big transformation!

Didn't you see that even Shaquille O'Neal didn't beat him at the last minute?

It's really bad luck to be the same generation as this kind of person...

But he probably lacks a defensive partner like me around him, right?

Kenyon Martin finally thought about it, and an idea came to his mind.

Look at that Haywood, he's so clumsy, he doesn't look like a qualified No. 4 position!

Look at that Boozer again, he's just relying on Jiang Dalin's fake power!

giegie worked so hard, I feel so sorry for giegie.

Probably because he was so involved, Kenyon Martin took the initiative to give Jiang Dalin a warm hug immediately after the game.

Jiang Dalin was also very satisfied when he saw him like this.

Um……

Has my charm reached this level now?

In the next few preseason games, Jiang Dalin didn't play much. He basically only played 20 minutes, scored 17 or 18 points and 89 rebounds, and then left the game.

With his status, he really doesn't need to play too seriously in the preseason.

In addition, there is another point. With his level of diligence, he does not need to use these pre-season games as training.

In the end, these five preseason games focused on Larry Brown polishing his defensive lineup.

Arenas paid the price for his stabbing behavior. He only played a dozen minutes in each game, and it was very incoherent. Naturally, the sporadic playing time made his performance not very stable, averaging 7.5 points per game.

3 rebounds and 2.5 assists, completely lacking the prestige he had with the Warriors last season.

From this we can see that if a head coach really wants to destroy people, it is really easy.

Jiang Dalin finally knew how Milicic was destroyed.

In this way, as long as the player is still growing, he can't stop him at all. Moreover, the outside world said that the head coach gave him the opportunity, but he didn't use it.

Just like now, many media are saying that the Wizards have made a loss-making transaction. You know, Arenas is worth tens of millions in annual salary. With such a price and such performance, the loss will naturally go to grandma's family.

Faced with doubts from the outside world, the conflict between Arenas and Larry Brown has become more acute.

Arenas also mentioned guns more and more often.

Jiang Dalin saw this and quickly comforted him.

Although Arenas knocked out Larry Brown with one shot, it was quite cool, but Arenas is the most important signing for the Wizards this year, and it is also the "heavy weapon" Jiang Dalin hopes to use against Kobe on the outside. After all, he is

The man who was able to score 60 points on Kobe in 2006 is still growing, but with Hamilton and Billups on the outside, he is definitely not weaker than Kobe.

As for Larry Brown, Jiang Dalin has actually already thought of a way to deal with him.

"Man, you have a bright future!"

Based on his trust in Jiang Dalin, Arenas no longer mentioned the gun. Instead, he made trouble for Larry Brown in front of the media, questioning his bias against his use.

It doesn't work once or twice, but after three or four times, the effect will come out quickly.

Even though Larry Brown is a highly respected head coach, some media still believe that since the Wizards spent 10 million a year to buy Arenas, they should make good use of him instead of only giving him so much in one game.

Click on playing time.

As soon as this voice came out, Jiang Dalin immediately informed Happy to make the outside world's doubts louder.

At the same time, the NBA regular season opener has officially arrived.

As last season's championship, the Wizards faced the challenge of last season's Eastern Conference finals opponent, the Pacers, at their home court.

In this game, many stars who announced their retirement in the summer came to the scene, but Michael Jordan did not come.

Having just had such a disgusting conflict with the owner of the Wizards, there is no way he can give the Wizards any more exposure.

When other people received the rings, especially Barkley and Karl Malone, they cried with joy and couldn't stop crying.

They gave up their dignity as superstars at the last moment and chose to join forces just for this thing. Now, they finally got it!

They also hugged Jiang Dalin one by one. Without his superb performance at the last moment, the Wizards would not have won the championship, and they would have lost the only opportunity in their lives.

The Wizards, who just received the championship ring, failed to win the first game of the next season tonight.

Instead, the Pacers won on the road with a 98-90, 8-point advantage.

Jiang Dalin, who scored 29 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, said with a gloomy face: "This is undoubtedly a bad start. Of course, this is only the first game. This season is very long. We have enough time to make adjustments!"

But what no one expected was that the Wizards, who lost the opening game, would then lose to the Suns and Jazz respectively.

A wave of three consecutive defeats at the beginning.

The voices questioning Larry Brown are gradually getting louder.

After all, this team has the foundation for a championship. Jiang Dalin even won the Finals MVP last season. His performance in the first three games of this season was similar to last season. But with the same data, why did the Wizards

The team made great progress last year, but now it is on its knees?

And when the voices of doubt suddenly become louder, any unreasonable hiring decisions by Larry Brown will be amplified by the media and fans.

For example, Arenas was used once in the preseason.

Larry Brown is still stubborn: "We have encountered major changes this summer. The entire system and the entire rotation have areas that need to be adjusted. Whether it is a three-game losing streak or a five-game losing streak, this is actually all.

That’s what I expected.”

Jiang Dalin almost laughed on the spot.

As expected of you, Larry Brown.

However, Larry Brown still changed somewhat in the following time. He became more inhumane and more cruel. Anyone who made the slightest mistake during training would be scolded by him.

The entire training atmosphere suddenly became very bad.

This also makes the Wizards players even more resistant to Larry Brown.

Although they don't have Jiang Dalin's status, there is a mentality that all of them have, that is, if you don't even have a championship, why are you so confident!

Except for the new players this year, who among you here does not have a championship?

We haven't been scolded like this before, didn't we also win the championship?

Originally, they thought the atmosphere of the Wizards last season was dignified enough, but now they discovered that the dignified atmosphere last season was due to their spontaneous respect, and the current dignified atmosphere was entirely due to Larry Brown's inhumane training.

Jiang Dalin was the only exception. When he found that the entire atmosphere was getting more solemn, he knew that it was about to happen!

To be honest, Larry Brown's reputation is indeed very good, but there is a problem...

He forgot whether this team had won the championship or two years in a row.

And when the players discovered that the path they had taken to win the championship was more relaxed and enjoyable than what Larry Brown required, their doubts spontaneously arose.

At this time, Larry Brown's filter is broken. In their view, he is just an incompetent and angry old man. What kind of head coach is he?

On November 6, the Wizards finally won the first game of the season, but the win was against the Magic, which is nothing to complain about. The Magic will have the No. 1 pick next season.

Immediately afterwards, they lost to the Spurs again.

In short, no strong team can beat any weak team, but it also depends on their condition.

Larry Brown's constant emphasis on defense on the sidelines was ridiculed by the Washington media. The Wizards' defense is already good enough, averaging 89.4 points per game, ranking fourth in the league.

But they scored fewer points than they lost.

He averaged just 88.9 points per game.

At this time, no matter how you look at it, you should emphasize offense, right?

"This guy can only focus on defense!"

"The reason why the 76ers can't win the championship has been found, what use can this cerebral palsy coach do?"

"Does Larry Brown only defend the word? Is he senile?"

Arenas, who has been on the bench, received huge support from the media at this time.

Arenas can wake up laughing just reading these newspapers these days.

Jiang Dalin looked at these reports and knew it was coming soon!

One more game and Larry Brown should be gone!

Unexpectedly, at this time, Larry Brown called him, hoping that he could be in the same boat as him.

In other words, if Earl asked him if he wanted to change the head coach, he'd better say "Larry Brown is the best head coach for the Wizards."

He just broke up with the 76ers, and now in such a short period of time, he broke up with the Wizards again, and he was fired after starting with 1 win and 6 losses. This must be a huge blow to his career.

Jiang Dalin said: "Don't worry, Coach Larry, I am definitely on your side!"

Then he received a call from Earl: "Jiang, should we change the head coach?"

Jiang Dalin neither confirmed nor denied. What a joke, you recruited this person, and in the end I will be the villain? I won’t play with you!

This is also the reason why he promised Larry Brown.

He doesn't want to become the management's target.

Besides, the reason could be found elsewhere if not from him. He believed that Earl would figure it out soon.

On November 24, the Wizards had 3 wins and 7 losses, ranking fifth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Wizards fans marched outside the arena holding signs, demanding that the management fire Larry Brown immediately.

"He's not a good fit for us at all!"

"What we need is a head coach who better understands the culture and spirit of the Wizards!"

"This kind of head coach who only yells about defense should be fired long ago!"

It was also amid this wave of calls that the Wizards management officially fired Larry Brown.

A generation of veteran coaches sadly dismissed from get out of class.

Before leaving, he thanked Jiang Dalin, because from his channel, he knew that the Wizards general manager had asked Jiang Dalin for his opinion half a month ago, and Jiang Dalin kept his position at that time.

"It's a pity that I can't coach you for longer. You are an extremely good player!"

This is probably the time when Jiang Dalin likes Larry Brown the most. As long as he doesn't coach him, in his eyes, Larry Brown is a famous coach!

"Let's meet at the top!"

Larry Brown was filled with emotion when he heard this.

He was so gentle, I cried to death.

As for the Wizards, they quickly announced their next head coach, and Scott is back!

And this time he got it back with a price increase, and now he has officially entered the ranks of head coaches with an annual salary of one million!

When he saw Jiang Dalin again, he also had a smile on his face: "Man, I leave it to you!"

Um!

Familiar taste!

Jiang Dalin likes such a conscious head coach.

"First put Arenas in the starting lineup."

This is something that must be done.

Scott said it was OK, but he was also a little worried about the current state of the team.

When it comes to losing, he is used to losing. He is really afraid that with the current state of the Wizards, he will not be able to recover.

Jiang Dalin didn't have so many worries.

First of all, Arenas is definitely determined to prove himself.

Speaking of which, this is also the reason why Larry Brown brought Arenas over after he came.

Arenas was stimulated through the conflict between the two people.

As long as Arenas is on the road to prove himself, he is undoubtedly the strongest Arenas and will not engage in any messy off-court affairs.

Coupled with the departure of Larry Brown, only by performing better can this team prove that it was Larry Brown who delayed this team, not them!

This is also a motivation.

This is also the reason why Jiang Dalin dared to let the team lose during this period.

Teams that lose for a long time do so because they have no fighting spirit.

But the Wizards just don't lack fighting spirit.

On November 27, the Wizards will play against the Timberwolves at home. Jiang Dalin will use this game to tell everyone that the Wizards are still the same "tiger and wolf team"!

Moreover, he finally doesn't have to think about how to lose without leaving a trace. Sometimes he really doesn't dare to use his strength!

Now it's fine, there is no need to worry anymore, it's time to start the real "Jiang Dalin Mode"!
