Chapter 26 Something Has Happened Again
"Yunchen, stop yelling, people who don't know think I'm doing you wrong!" Xu Qianxiang said angrily on the other end of the phone.

But Yun Chen was not in the mood to argue with him, and immediately frowned: "Xu Qianxiang, don't make a mistake, look at the current Tristan Thompson, the former Odom, and Humphries, and even With Harden, who doesn't immediately fall into the Kardashian family?"

But Xu Qianxiang didn't take it seriously when he heard the words: "Oh, Jenna is different from those two, she is not the kind of casual person."

Hearing these words, three black lines immediately appeared on Yunchen's forehead.

He only knows one sentence, that is, all the crows in the world are as black, and compared to her two older sisters, Yun Chen, Jenna only thinks that she is worse than her two sisters!

"Oh, Yunchen, it's fine, trust me, you will accompany me on a date with her in a few days, then you don't have to do anything, she will bring a sister, if I don't bring a brother, I can't control the scene, just In this way, I will hang up first!"

"No, listen to me, women from the Kardashian family..." Yun Chen wanted to say something, but there was already a beep on the other end of the phone, and Xu Qianxiang hung up without even giving him time to refute. Telephone.

Yun Chen: "..."

Putting down the phone, Yun Chen let out a long sigh.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Yunchen didn't get up early. The intensity of the NBA game is very high, and he still can't fully adapt, so he needs more rest time.

While brushing his teeth, he turned on his cell phone to watch the news habitually, and every morning he would pay attention to the developments in the league.

Then one of the pieces of news caught his attention.

For the Timberwolves, some media broke the news that there seemed to be some quarrel between Ty Gibson and the head coach in the team training hall yesterday. Later, some internal staff revealed that it was because of the team's starting.

Originally, Gibson was the team's No. [-] starter, but now coach Thibodeau wants Yuan Junjie, who performed better in the summer league, to start and let Gibson play the team's sixth man.

Because Gibson is not young anymore, the team must try to train young people for future development.

But it is conceivable that Gibson is of course unwilling. It's not that he is unwilling to give up the starting lineup. It's just that he is replaced by a rookie who is not high in the draft, and he is of yellow race, which makes him feel humiliated.

So it is said that Thibodeau said this sentence later, whoever performs better will start.

Fair competition is a good thing for both parties.

Originally, this incident had ended like this, and the media had nothing to hype, but the problem reappeared.

This time it was an issue outside of the team.

Charles Barkley, a former NBA star and now a well-known commentator on TNT, released some bold words when he participated in a live broadcast earlier today.

"Yuan Junjie of the Timberwolves, compared to Gibson, you are obviously stronger. You should punch Gibson in the face and tell him, hey buddy, this starter should be mine, you should get out of my position Get up and down!"

I don't know if it was for the effect of the program, or he just thought so, anyway, his words directly caused the media to scramble for hype, and for a while, all the mainstream basketball media were reporting on this matter.

So soon, Barkley made a statement on his Twitter again.

"In the Timberwolves' opening game tonight, Yuan Junjie's performance must be much better than Gibson's! If not, I would like to kiss the ass of the donkey live as I did when I bet on Yao Ming that year!"

Seeing this sentence, Yun Chen spat out the foam in his mouth with a puff.

"Damn, this Barkley is too daring to say it..." Although he was obviously doing it for hype, it is not difficult to see that he is really optimistic about Yuan Junjie.

In the summer league, Yuan Junjie's performance dropped his jaw, almost making all the teams with high draft picks regret it.

And tonight, the Timberwolves will challenge the Portland Trail Blazers away, which is also their first game of the season.

After washing up, Yun Chen simply ate some breakfast and rushed to the training hall. Today's training is mainly to find out how to feel, because they have a match tomorrow, so they have to conserve their energy.

When he arrived at the training hall, there were already many people training in the stadium.

But one person who should have appeared was not here. Tylen Lu was missing, and Osman said he hadn't appeared since he was called away an hour ago.

But Yun Chen didn't care, and started training after putting away his things.

Today's training was very easy, so Yunchen felt that the time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and the players all packed their things and prepared to go home.

All day today, Yunchen didn't see Tai Lunlu.

"It's strange. The team is training and there is a game tomorrow, but the head coach is gone. The assistant coach is always explaining tactics to us..."

But when he was leaving the gymnasium, Yun Chen bumped into Tai Lunlu head-on in the passage.

"Huh..." Yun Chen, who had been walking with his head down, didn't see it, and didn't realize it was him until very close.

"Li Yunchen..." Tai Lunlu was also taken aback. He was wearing a white shirt and was holding his suit in his hand, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Hello coach, I haven't seen you today." Yun Chen greeted politely.

But Tai Lue turned his head and looked around, and then said, "Can you accompany me for a drink?" There was some helplessness in his eyes.

"Huh?" Yun Chen thought he had heard wrong.

……

Half an hour later, the two came to a nearby bar. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Tyronn Lu opened a private room. After entering with Yun Chen, he ordered a table full of wine, and then drank it on his own. with.

"Would you like some?" Tylen Lue asked.

Yun Chen shook his head, there was a match tomorrow, he was afraid that drinking would have an impact.

Tyronn Lue nodded, and then kept drinking, as if he had encountered a major setback in his life.

"What happened again?" Yun Chen wondered.

The management allowed him to stay on if he won five games in the first ten games of the season. Now that he has won one game, he should be happy, but now he seems to have lost ten games.

"Today... Altman called me over and he told me..."

It turned out that it was the general manager who called Tyronn Lue away today. He told Tyronn Lue that the requirement of winning five games in the first ten games of the season was invalidated, and he no longer needed to worry about winning.

Tylen Lue was of course very happy to hear this, thinking that he had overcome the difficulties.

But Altman's next sentence made him face another difficulty.

He asked Tyronn Lue to learn Steve Kerr's tactical system, and tried to build the Cavaliers into an offensive and defensive team like the Warriors.

As he said to Gilbert before, he is going to start implementing a plan to change the team.

And he put forward a new requirement, that is, in every future game, the management will pay attention to various data of the team, and then use the background database to track and analyze the team's system changes.

Once the team does not develop in the direction they want, Tyronn Lue will face the situation of being fired.

Yun Chen: "..."

Co-authoring means that the management is dissatisfied with Tyron Lue again. This is clearly to let him step down, because a coach's tactical system must be fixed, and everyone has a unique style. It is impossible for a head coach to change his coaching direction. It's different from making Howard's free throws as good as Harden's.

What's more, Tyronn Lue's tactical literacy...is not high in the first place.

"What should I do, Li, almost no one in the team listens to me now. Even if I want to change the team, I may not be able to implement it because of their reasons... I really want to dismiss get out of class!" Tyronn Lue At this time, I was a little emotional and kept pouring wine into my mouth.

"Eh..." Yun Chen was stunned, suddenly feeling that he was really pitiful.

Now is the era of big data, it is impossible to deceive the management, so we must use real talents to make changes.

"Then why did you ask me to come here... want me to help you go to the management and say something good?"

"No, I just want to find someone to chat with me. You are just a rookie, no matter how important you are, it is impossible to affect the management's decision." Tyronn Lu shook his head.

"Well... since the management asked you to try to change, then you should try to change it. Watch more of Cole's games and analyze their tactics." Yun Chen replied.

Tyronn Lue shook his head again when he heard the words: "How can it be so easy, his tactics are weird and changeable, I have experienced it in the finals, how easy is it to learn?"

"Oh, how do you know if you don't do it? I'll help you with the players. You just need to learn his tactics by yourself." Yun Chen laughed.

Compared to Tai Lue's pessimism, Yunchen felt that this might be an opportunity for him. The management at least had some expectations for him, and the fact that he was not laid off was the best explanation.

Moreover, Tyronn Lue basically has no tactical literacy, that is, he does not have his own coaching style, so it must be much easier for him to make changes than other coaches!
