Super Lord of the Rings
Chapter 151 [Work together]
The Knicks started the game in a mess and only won two games. The New York media still watched the excitement and satirized the Nets.
Wang Jun waited anxiously at home and called to inquire about the situation. Assistant coach Larry Drew told him that he had to continue to wait and internal training was suspended.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jun's face was very ugly.
Seeing that Wang Jun was in a daze, not knowing what to think, Abby poked him and said, "What's going on?"
Wang Jun came back to his senses in an instant, and said with a wry smile: "The suspension of training is probably due to Scott."
"The Nets played so badly at the start, why doesn't he use you? How did you offend him?"
"After being sent off, he scolded me, and I defended myself."
Abby was annoyed for a while: "Are you talking back? The Nets already have internal conflicts. What if he takes you under the knife now and establishes his prestige?"
"Can this establish prestige? It's clearly asking for trouble, right? Kidd told me not to worry, but the suspension time is up, but I can't go back to report..."
Abby breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since Kidd promised, don't ask, don't worry, you may be able to go back soon."
"Why? Kidd is just a player, can he be bigger than the head coach?" Wang Jun asked suspiciously.
"The team can do without Scott, but it can't do without Kidd, so he is bigger than the head coach. Let's wait and see."
On November 9, the Nets lost an away game to the main rival Pistons in the East.
Lost to the Spurs at home on the 12th, the team only scored 71 points. 1 win and 7 losses are the bottom of the league.
On the 14th, Kenyon Martin came back and Kittles came back. The Nets finally stopped their losing streak and narrowly beat the Knicks 85 to 80. In the important derby match, the Nets players finally cheered up.
Scott's employment is still miraculous. Martin, who just came back, played 42 minutes. Aaron Williams, who had been playing for about 40 minutes before, became a marginal player again. He only played 12 minutes and scored 5 points and 2 rebounds.
The Nets had only nine players on the court, and the substitutes didn't play much at all.
Playing the underdog Eagles back to back, the Nets finally achieved a hearty victory, winning 100 to 81.
Unfortunately, everyone in the Nets was not happy because center Alonzo Mourning felt unwell after the game and went to the hospital for examination.
As soon as the inspection results came out, the Nets were forced to hold a press conference, and Mourning announced his retirement due to illness. He only played 10 games for the Nets, averaging 8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 17.2 minutes.
Wang Jun, who has been training by himself, felt even more dizzy when he saw the news.
He thought that the Nets would be able to hit the championship, but now it seems that it is difficult to enter the playoffs, and the coaching staff did not notify him to leave the team.
Is the Nets too bad, or is his luck too bad?
Everyone felt that the Nets were dying, Mourning retired, and the center was still a blue-collar player. There is no good substitute on the outside, so Kittles can only be used, internal and external troubles.
This season, the Nets' tactics are still the same, fast break, pick-and-roll, and singles.
In the two finals, the opponents are all studying the Nets, and it will not work if it is so simple.
The Nets' momentum was low, and the winning streak ended, losing to the Hornets in the West.
What disappointed the fans even more was that "bearded" Baron Davis beat Kidd, scoring 25 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists. Kidd only had 6 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and made 3 of 10 shots.
Scott didn't have a fixed second set of lineups, and the score was immediately opened up as soon as he started in the second quarter, every game like this.
After the game, the media still focused on the Nets and Mourning.
The doctor reported that Mourning's condition had deteriorated, and it was best to undergo a kidney replacement operation as soon as possible. He needs a kidney transplant, and it is no longer controllable by drugs.
Embarrassingly, Mourning signed a four-year, $22.6 million contract with a protection clause. According to NBA practice, the team will pay 80% of his salary to him.
The player missed at least 41 games due to injury,
After that, the insurance company will pay 80% of the remaining salary until the player returns.
However, the insurance company refused to settle claims against Mourning on the grounds that Mourning's kidney disease was not included in their insurance terms. This was a pre-existing injury and did not appear after signing with the Nets.
As a result, the owner of the Nets had to pay for Mourning out of his own pocket.
Lewis flew into a rage and called both Thorne and Vandeweghe to his office to scold them.
What about the agreed signings to hit the championship? Get a patient and give millions of dollars a year for free. Is the team going to change careers and become a charity?
Lewis is dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and can't tell the pain.
The media doesn't care how miserable Mourning's contract is for the Nets. They will only praise Mourning's greatness in coming back from illness and wish him a speedy recovery. In the eyes of fans, Mourning will always be a great "kidney fighter".
The Nets got three days to rest. Kidd invited four starters and three important rotation players to eat at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and found a large private room with good sound insulation.
Wang Jun was also invited, a total of nine people.
As soon as Kidd saw him, he asked, "Wang, how much do you weigh now?"
"97 kg." Wang Jun replied.
"That's right, I'm not idle when I look at home." Kidd laughed.
Wang Jun's weight loss seems to have lost 10 catties, because the flesh on his face has disappeared, and he has become more energetic and handsome.
Kidd made a toast first, and then served the "main course".
"Guys, we got off to a bad start, 3 wins and 8 losses. Everyone thinks the Nets are finished. We are a joke. Clowns with no fighting spirit. We can't even make the playoffs this year. After reading this kind of news, what do you think? How do you feel?"
No one answered, for fear of saying something wrong.
Kidd went on to say: "I think everyone knows that we can't play well because we have the most overrated head coach in the league. He doesn't know how to use everyone's strengths at all, and only uses four people to attack regularly. , the others are in charge of defense. If we waste a season like this, will everyone be willing?"
"Not reconciled." Wang Jun cried.
No one else responded, looking at him like an idiot.
Kidd looked at Wang Jun with satisfaction and smiled, and said loudly: "Very well, we need Wang Jun's energy. Don't worry, you will play the game soon. Before that, we have to work together and unite, Get that self-righteous fool out of here!"
"Get rid of him," Kittles said.
"Mosquito" is also fed up. He is often assigned to defend outsiders who are much stronger than himself, and his playing time has increased to 38 minutes. This is because he wants to kill him.
"Yes, get rid of him." Veteran Rodney endured Scott for a year. He thought he could get a chance by going to the Nets, but he turned out to be a marginal man.
Others were also mobilized and responded one after another.
Wang Jun has gained knowledge, and he was involved in disputes between players and coaches as soon as he entered the league.
He even didn't expect that an NBA coach could be so unpopular.
He disliked Scott after only a few days, not because of himself, but because everyone hated him.
Kidd took out a piece of exquisite manuscript paper, on which there were only two lines written - "I hope the team changes the head coach and fires Scott, otherwise this season will be a bad choice for the No. 1 pick!"
Nine players took turns to sign the threatening "joint letter".
In this case, how could Scott keep his position?
