I am Really an Insider

v2 Chapter 177: Cracks inside the defending champion

When interviewed by reporters after the game, Rasheed Wallace also experienced the feeling of being trampled on by a giant.

  

   "Rashid, is Wei's defense so strong? Do you really have no chance?"

  

   Wallace glared at the reporter, trying to yell at him.

  

   Are you a question asked by someone! ?

  

   But there is no way, who makes his hit rate so low today? It is inevitable to be stabbed.

  

   "Only the first game of the series has been played. It's too early to discuss who wins and who wins." Tianzun replied irritably.

  

   "But I'm not discussing winning or losing. I just want to know, is Wei's defense really that strong? There is really no way for you to do it?" The reporter was reluctant and did not plan to save Tianzun.

  

   "This Nima..." Rasheed glanced at the reporter in front of him, but found that the other person had no fear in his eyes.

  

   I have a hard time today.

  

   Nonsense, reporter from India, can you be gentle with Pistons players?

  

   After the Pacers lost last season, how did the Detroit media mock the Pacers?

  

   A soft egg + hillbilly set meal was arranged.

  

   Now, all the reporters from India are looking for it back!

  

   This is not just a war between two teams, but also a war between two cities!

  

   "Wei's defense was pretty good today, but that's all."

  

   After Tianzun finished speaking, he almost vomited.

  

   I was forced to praise Wayne!

  

  You reporters are so vicious!

  

   Angry, frustrated and helpless, Rasheed’s mood at this time is simply a true portrayal of the psychology of the entire Pistons team.

  

   If you lose a few more points today, the Pistons probably won't be that uncomfortable.

  

   But it happened to be lost in the last few rounds. This kind of hopeful but watching the hopeless feeling is more uncomfortable than the direct lack of hope.

  

   If it weren't for Wayne's difficult emergency stop jumper... Wayne would be the fault!

  

   "Wayne is so special!" In the locker room, Larry Brown said the same to the players.

  

   "If there is no Wei, I think it should be us who won the first game."

  

   Old Brown looked at his players and found that they seemed to agree with his words.

  

   Because everyone has anger on their faces.

  

   Anger is the right thing to do. If you are not angry, how can you mobilize your emotions? How can you fool you?

  

   "So, in the next game, I want you to be tough, to irritate him, irritate him! Do you know what I mean?"

  

   Old Larry pushed his glasses, there was no anger in the eyes behind the lenses, only cold light.

  

   Everyone from the Pistons, look at me and I look at you. It seems that you understand something.

  

   Does the Hall of Fame coach have to be perfect?

  

Do not make jokes.

  

   There is no perfect person in this world.

  

   What's more, he is just a basketball coach.

  

   In order to win, Larry Brown doesn't really care about the means.

  

   can't beat him, and can't let him join, let him disappear.

  

   In fact, aren't most of the old-school coaches in the league now like this?

  

   Popovich, George Carl... which one is good?

  

   They have all made their own world in the basketball world, but they also have such bad behaviors.

  

   It's just that they were all covered by victory.

  

   victory.

  

   In the world of competitive sports, victory can cover everything.

  

   Larry Brown knows this truth well.

  

   used vicious trash talk and small gestures to lure Wayne into a foul, force a relationship, and get him expelled from the field.

  

  Larry Brown, of course, knows that this is not an upright trick, but... so what?

  

   If he wins, people will only call him a champion coach.

  

   Larry Brown finished speaking, then got up and went to the player tunnel.

  

   Because his phone rang, it was from Knicks general manager Isaiah Thomas.

  

   This is a call that is inconvenient for the players to hear.

  

   "Hey, Isaiah."

  

   "Sorry Larry, you are only a little short of victory. As I said, the Pacers are a tough team." Although Isaiah Thomas said sorry, his tone seemed very happy.

  

   "We will pull it back, no matter what."

  

   "Of course I believe in your abilities, Larry. By the way, how are you thinking about the contract?" Isaiah Thomas called, not for greetings.

  

   Yes, as the general manager of the Knicks, he is poaching a champion coach who is about to lead the team to the championship!

  

   What’s even more surprising is that Larry Brown kept the management of the team secret and had a very good conversation with the Knicks.

  

   His heart is all on the big contract that the Knicks opened.

  

   "I think it's good. If nothing happens, I will coach my hometown team next season."

  

   At this time, Billups came out and wanted to discuss some details of the game with Larry Brown.

  

   But as soon as I found Brown, I heard the sentence he just said, "If nothing else, I will coach my hometown team next season."

  

   "What are you doing Larry? We are playing in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and we are behind 0 to 1!"

  

   Billups became anxious in an instant and exploded with his coach.

  

   To be honest, Billups can understand Brown leaving for money.

  

   New York is a big city, and there is still great exposure.

  

   Billups did not expect Larry Brown to live in Detroit forever.

  

   But, can you wait for the end of the season to think about these **** things?

  

   The most important thing now, isn’t it united to fight the enemy together?

  

   A coach, after losing such a crucial game, is negotiating a coaching contract with another team.

  

   What does Billups think?

  

   Actually, when the Pistons went to New York to play away games earlier this year, Larry Brown was caught meeting with the Knicks boss, which caused some criticism in the team.

  

   just as time goes by, the influence is slowly diluted.

  

   Billups couldn't even think of it. Larry Brown was still thinking about the Knicks' big contract at this moment.

  

   You are too scumbag.

  

   "As you can see, I'm negotiating with the Knicks." Larry Brown didn't hide it, he didn't care much about his players' thoughts.

  

  If he cared, he wouldn't have put Milicic on the bench for two full seasons.

  

   Billups must admit that although the Pacers won the championship after Larry Brown arrived, he had wanted to fight Brown's old boxing countless times.

  

   "We're playing the **** Eastern Conference semifinals, and we are behind 0 to 1, Larry." Billups had to emphasize this point again.

  

   "I know, you just need to do your own thing, Chauncey."

  

   After finishing speaking, Brown continued to pick up the phone in front of Billups: "Isaiah, are you still there..."

  

   Billups was furious, he felt that Larry Brown was no longer on the same line with the Pistons.

  

   He originally came to discuss the details of the game with Brown, but now, he doesn't want to say a word to Brown.

  

   "We can do without him!"

  

   Billups thought so in his heart.

  

  ※※※

  

   Billups did not tell his teammates about the contract between Larry Brown and the Knicks during the playoffs. He did not want to affect the team's locker room atmosphere.

  

  Where Brown is going, Billups has no idea.

  

   He just wants to finish the playoffs this year and strive for two consecutive championships, nothing more.

  

   When the Pistons were experiencing a crisis of trust between the coach and the players, on the Pacers side, Wayne really went to the press conference again.

  

   Before this, most people thought that no matter who won the best rookie, the gap between Okafor and Wayne would be very small.

  

   But the final voting result was unexpected to everyone.

  

"Wei won 61% of the first vote alone, while Emeka Okafor only had 34.1%. The remaining four candidates shared the remaining 5% of the first vote. Although not unanimously elected, Wei Well, the vote rate is pretty scary!"

  

   At the press conference, the Pacers press officer announced the voting data for the reporters.

  

   To be honest, Wayne was also quite surprised.

  

   He thought that his first vote might account for about 45%.

  

   Under normal circumstances, the first ballot can account for 45%, and it can basically win the prize.

  

   As a result, 61% came directly.

  

   is like six people vying for 100 tickets. In the end, Wayne got 61 tickets alone, and the remaining five people.

  

   You can know how popular Wayne is and how far the other people are from him.

  

   Okafor's double-doubles per game were just buried.

  

   After all, the Best Rookie Award has no judging criteria. It does not mean that you can win a double-double per game.

  

   Wayne's exposure and popularity this season far surpassed Okafor, so it makes sense to get more votes.

  

   The worst is actually not Okafor, his 34% of the votes are already a lot.

  

   The worst is the champion happy beast.

  

   also averaged a double-double per game. His vote accounted for only 1.23%, which is a bit miserable.

  

   A group of high-ranked rookies were slammed by Wayne, the 12th pick.

  

  Okafor saw the results and found that he was not as discouraged as he thought.

  

   A year ago, he just wanted to fight Wayne to the end and get back what he lost in college in the NBA.

  

   But since the All-Star Game, Okafor has been convinced by Wayne.

  

   Wayne has shown strength and leadership, which Okafor is not ashamed of.

  

   And Wayne shared the rookie game MVP behavior with the whole team, which also made Okafor's hostility to Wayne less intense.

  

   Therefore, even though Okafor is still a bit disappointed this time, he is not particularly sad.

  

   This result, he had long expected.

  

how to say?

  

   Now, Wayne has jumped out of the circle of competing with rookies.

  

   Now it's Duncan, it's Garnett, it's a player like Rasheed Wallace, who has a headache because of Wayne.

  

   Wayne is also competing with such players.

  

  Okafor? Howard?

  

   They are no longer on the same channel with Wayne.

  

   Wayne's competition is one level higher than theirs.

  

   When Wayne was about to compete with rookies again, it was a dimensionality reduction blow.

  

   Olajuwon also had a double-double in his rookie season, and the data was exaggerated 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.7 blocks.

  

The results of it? Michael Jordan is the best rookie.

  

   Okafor is miserable, can Olajuwon be miserable?

  

   So, just accept the facts with peace of mind.

  

   In the applause of everyone, Wayne won the transparent best rookie trophy, an honor that he can only get once in his life.

  

  In his rookie season, Wayne has two personal honors.

  

   Many people can't help but include Wayne in the category of "supernova".

  

   To put it plainly, it is the "Superstar Reserve".

  

   After receiving the trophy, Wayne is indeed a little happier than last time.

  

   After all... the best sixth man does not have the 1 million bonus clause, but the best rookie has.

  

   As a guy who was still eating free pizza with his teammates the year before last Christmas, if you say Wayne has no feelings about money, that would be too fake.

  

   Tony: You just remember the pizza!

  

   Wayne won the best rookie, also filled the regret of Chinese fans.

  

   Because at that time, Yao Ming was only 5% away from the best rookie.

  

   And now, Chinese fans no longer feel sorry for this.

  

   won the best rookie award, Wayne invited his teammates to go home and have a good night.

  

   Of course, there is no wine or sweets. It's just gathering together to play cards and blow beeps.

  

   Everyone has not forgotten their goals for this year.

  

   The next day, he was still at the Bankers' Life Arena, still the Pistons VS the Pacers.

  

   As soon as today's game came up, Wayne found something was wrong.

  

   As soon as the game opened, Tian Zun blatantly gave Wayne a big elbow when he was defending.

  

   Tianzun may be a bit more trash talking, and his roar is a bit louder.

  

   But in reality, he rarely does it directly.

  

   To put it bluntly, it's still a bit embarrassing.

  

   But as soon as they come up today, they will directly serve dry goods!

  

   Wayne doesn’t know if this guy took dynamite or something, you are jealous of me taking the best rookie?

  

   Even if I don’t take it, you can’t take it!

  

   Don’t look at how old you are!

  

   Shameless!

  

   But then Wayne discovered that not only Tianzun, but all the Pistons seemed to be targeting him!

  

   has become the enemy of the whole people?

  

   Push, elbow, bump, trash...

  

  Seriously, Larry Brown admires Wayne's psychological quality.

  

   The serious rookie encountered this situation, and his mentality collapsed prematurely. It is estimated that they all cried and went back to find their mother.

  

   Refer to Milicic who is sitting on the bench for the Pistons at this time.

  

   But Wayne has been gritted his teeth and persisted, enduring.

  

   has not done anything extraordinary ~lightnovelpub.net~ but the more it is, the more blatant the Pistons. Even, he extended the demon to other people.

  

   Finally, in the middle of the second quarter, when Big Ben used a very rough collision to knock the old Payton out of the layup, Wayne rushed to Big Ben for the first time, cursing.

  

   Colton was full of spirits.

  

   Other people are noisy, it is pure joke.

  

   Wayne goes up, the nature is different!

  

   This is the first time Wayne has joined the fight in person since two games!

  

   "Wei appeared in front of Ben Wallace. He stood between Payton and Big Ben. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the foul committed by Big Ben just now!"

  

   Well, Wayne himself was violated so badly in the first quarter, he didn't break out.

  

   This time his teammates suffered, Wayne broke out instead.

  

   In some ways, Larry Brown really likes Wayne.

  

   It's a pity, they are enemies now!

  

   The guy who is most likely to do it, he finally ended up.

  

  The people in the Global Pavilion held their breath.

  

   Larry Brown is the only one who wants to be beaten so much for the first time in his life.

  

   Besides, it's the kind of beating that doesn't fight back...
