Chapter 561 Paul who failed to fight for power

"Gentlemen! Pay attention to coordination! Also, don't engage in personal heroism! When you don't have a good chance, you must hand the ball to the king! This is our strongest offensive point! All People must center on him! There is no room for negotiation on this point! Do you understand?" D'Antoni said with a serious face.

"Got it." PJ Tucker and others responded loudly.

Only Chris Paul pursed his lips.

He feels that he is the core of the organization and the starting point of the offense. He should be able to freely control how to distribute the ball on the court.

How can all the balls be handed over to the king?

If so, where is your role reflected?
Do you want to be a spot-up shooter?

Chris Paul still finds it hard to accept.

D'Antoni glanced at Chris Paul, he was also a bit big headed.

D'Antoni thought Chris Paul had accepted his new role. Now, Chris still firmly believes that he is also a very important core of the Rockets.

The brain circuits of these superstars are really different from others!

They are clearly on the decline, and the gap between them and the newcomers is getting wider and wider, but they still can't let go of their arrogance.

Just like Thomas Jr., obviously his state has fallen to that point, but he just joined the Nuggets with a basic salary, but he still thinks he is very good and he should shoot more shots.

As a result, after only playing a few games with the Nuggets, he was completely benched and never got a chance to reappear.

"Paul, what do you think?" D'Antoni asked.

When Chris Paul heard D'Antoni asking his opinion, he couldn't help panicking, and hurriedly said: "Mike, I think what you said makes sense. However, I have a suggestion, and I don't know whether it should be said or not."

"Speak up! I'm listening." D'Antoni said with a serious face.

Paul said: "I think that in the game, the situation on the court changes rapidly, and every player should have a little freedom to handle the ball, and can't just pass the ball to the king. We should have more and more players. In the game, Wang is the core of offense and defense, and I can also be another core. After all, I have more experience than Wang, and it will be easier for me to control the situation on the court. a little better."

This is asking D'Antoni for the ball.

Paul is a top point guard. If he doesn't have the ball, he won't be able to play to his advantage.

Moreover, he thinks that he is more qualified than Wang Fei, so he is more qualified to be the leader of the team.

Competing for the ball is the main source of conflict in a team.

In almost all NBA teams, conflicts arise from possession of the ball.

The harmony of the Big Three composed of James, Wade and Bosh is really rare.

Why did the OK combination fall apart?

Isn't it because Kobe, who is becoming more and more mature, is unwilling to be O'Neal's younger brother, and he wants to control the initiative on the court by himself?

A team can only have one leader.

It's like there can't be two suns in the sky.

When there is a struggle for power and profit in the team, the manager should cut the mess quickly at this time.

Just like the Mavericks last year, rookie Doncic emerged out of nowhere. In order to stabilize Doncic's leadership position, Cuban directly took a cruel step and traded away all the disobedient veterans.

D'Antoni raised his eyebrows and said: "Chris, what you said is unreasonable. You shouldn't make such a suggestion! The Rockets can only have one core, and that is Wang! Everyone else only needs to cooperate well with Wang. That's fine. If you think you can't do it, then I can only make some lineup adjustments."

D'Antoni's words were decisive.

The meaning is also clear.

You can obey whatever I arrange. The Rockets don't need two leaders, let alone you to dictate.

Your importance in the team is getting smaller and smaller now.

The team can continue to win without you.

If you don't obey, then I don't mind putting you directly on the bench.

I don't care how high your status in the NBA league was in the past!

Chris Paul is so smart, he immediately understood what D'Antoni meant.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! Mike, I didn't mean that. Of course, I admit that the Rockets only have Wang as their core. I just think that my rich experience can give Wang some guidance, and I can make Wang better. "

"No! You can't guide Wang at all! Wang's performance on the court is mature enough, just look at the number of assists he sent! His assists have averaged 11.8 per game, and he understands offensive organization better than you." Anthony waved his hand and said.

Paul tactfully shut up.

Going on, maybe D'Antoni will tell him directly: The Rockets don't need you at all now.

The main reason why Chris Paul now wants to compete for the leadership of the team is that he sees the Rockets becoming more and more likely to win this year's championship.

He wants to win the championship as the leader of the Rockets.

In that case, it would bring even greater glory to Chris Paul.

Still the same sentence, NBA superstars all believe that only the championship won with themselves as the absolute core has greater significance.

"Does anyone else have any comments?" D'Antoni asked.

The Rockets players were silent, and no one said a word.

"That's good!" D'Antoni nodded.

He glanced at Paul and said, "Chris, you don't need to play next, your position will be replaced by Terence."

Chris Paul was taken aback.

D'Antoni's arrangement was a bit too ruthless.

"Mike, why? I have clearly recognized Wang's status as the team leader. I can assist him without any regrets. Please don't let me sit on the bench. I am eager to play and do my part for the Rockets to win the championship. Contribute." Chris Paul said quickly.

"Don't say more, I also understand you, I think you are a little older, you should take more rest." D'Antoni said.

Chris Paul immediately understood: D'Antoni regarded him as a thorn in his side!
"Mike, I take back what I just said. I just ask you to let me continue to play. I will unconditionally obey your tactical requirements. Please give me a chance." Chris Paul said.

Chris Paul is worried that he will never have a chance to play in a game again like Carmelo Anthony, who was hidden by the Rockets.

For Paul now, he is eager to make more money.

However, he also hopes to win the championship and enjoy the game on the court.

D'Antoni shook his head and said: "I won't give you another chance for the time being. Just sit down and reflect on your behavior."

Chris Paul has never been treated so cruelly by D'Antoni.

For a while, he really couldn't accept it.

Chris Paul turned to look at Wang Fei.

"Wang, please help me say something to Mike. Okay? We are good brothers. I think we have a good relationship all along." Chris Paul said.

Hearing what Paul said, Wang Fei was both angry and funny.

He actually thinks that he has a better relationship with me?
Is this funny?

Chris Paul has messed with Wang Fei several times, but each time he didn't show much affection.

Wang Fei smiled and said: "Chris, just sit down and calm down for a while. When you really figure it out, maybe Mr. D'Antoni will give you a chance!"

If you ask me to say something nice to you, I will do it for you, right?
What do you think I am?

Good old man?
Chris Paul finally understood at this time that he paid a more painful price because of his impulsiveness.His situation with the Rockets is even more difficult now.

At this time, Chris Paul really thought about leaving.

He wanted to leave and go to a place where he could be comfortable and act like a big star.

There was a little episode on the Rockets side.

On the Warriors side, Steve Kerr is going all out to arrange his tactics.

"Stephen, you did a good job! You have restricted the king. After you defended the king, his scoring and defensive data dropped significantly. So, it is still up to you to defend the king. Of course, Sean must also provide full assistance. We are about to enter the final quarter of the game. We need to be a little tougher on defense and more oppressive, you know?" Steve Kerr said.

Curry and Livingston, who were mentioned by him, nodded in response.

Steve Kerr nodded with satisfaction and said: "We still need to play faster. Only by playing faster will the opponent be brought into our rhythm! In the fourth quarter, The opening is very important! I need us to hit a climax, take the lead, and then suppress the opponent! Only in this way can we get a chance to win..."

In short, Cole explained a lot.

Taylor Swift, who was sitting behind the Rockets, clenched her fists nervously. She turned to ask Kobe: "Kobe, do you think the Rockets can win?"

Kobe said with a smile: "This is not necessarily the case! The score difference between the two teams is not big. Although the Rockets lead by four points, the four-point difference is really too small. I think the Warriors may have a greater chance of winning. .”

"What? You think the Warriors are more likely to win? This shouldn't be right?" Taylor Swift was surprised.

"Why shouldn't you? I know that you are eager for the Rockets to win, but you also have to see clearly that the Warriors are in good momentum now. There seems to be some internal strife in the Rockets team just now, and this is the home court of the Warriors. . Therefore, the Warriors' probability of winning is really greater. In fact, it doesn't matter if the Warriors win another game. After all, the Rockets are now leading 2:0!" Kobe said.

"You seem to make sense. But I really don't want the Rockets to lose! Wang already scored 68 points tonight. It would be a pity if the Rockets lose again." Taylor Swift said.

In ESPN's live broadcast seats, the question of which team is more likely to win the game between the Rockets and the Warriors is now being discussed.

All three experts agreed that the Warriors are more likely to win.
