Chapter 110 The story of 105 men and 3 women (second update)

After today's training, Dunleavy asked Ricky Davis to stay and said he had something to talk to him about.

Ricky Davis had no plans to leave the training center. He planned to stay and continue training to improve his shooting accuracy.

Seeing that Dunleavy wanted to chat with him, Davis put on his sports coat and followed Deng to the coach's office.

The relationship between Ricky Davis and Lao Deng has always been neither salty nor cold, and there is even some ambiguity between them, because Ricky feels that he cannot be reused here by Dunleavy.

In the 2007-2008 season, before Davis was traded to the Clippers, he averaged 13.6 points per game with the Timberwolves.

After being traded to the Clippers, Davis' scoring plummeted, dropping to an average of 6.4 points per game.

His statistics this season are even worse, averaging only 4.5 points per game, making him a marginal player at the end of the bench.

Davis believes that on the one hand, it is due to the impact of injuries, and his condition is indeed not as good as before.

On the other hand, he felt that Dunleavy would not use him and always wanted to use him as a small forward.

Just like the leaders in some units ask their subordinates to do things, any subordinate with some ability cannot execute it 100% perfectly without discount. They must have their own little calculations.

But the subsequent sharp turn and Brand's departure broke Dunleavy's heart. He originally had great ambitions.

In terms of ability, he is not much worse than Brand.

"Okay coach, starting from tomorrow, I will practice defense after every training... No, you don't need to start from tomorrow, just start from today. I will go to training right away."

Dunleavy is not a puppet. He has his own ideas and coaching philosophy, and he will not completely follow Min Congda.

Dunleavy came out of the office and was surprised to see Davis practicing basic skills on the court like a high school student.

If you want to grow as you wish, you can either reach the top of the pyramid in terms of ability, or you can go to a lower league and become Jordan.

To put it simply, Davis is now the team's cancer, while Randolph has a high win share.

Given Davis's character, if he makes a trade request again, or simply doesn't come and lets the team buy him out, that's what Dunleavy wants to see.

"What is going on? Why has he become so obedient? Is he really enlightened?"

Calling Davis into the office, Dunleavy looked at the unshaven black man and said, "Ricky, do you have any plans for your future?"

Those who are capable but have crooked ideas will go against the leader.

Those who want to execute 100% without discount are the incompetent people.

Dunleavy rubbed his nose. He wanted to think about how to deal with it. Didn't this guy play his cards according to the suit?

Look at Randolph again. He missed an entire season in high school because of gun theft. Although he and his team reached the semi-finals in college, he had no personal honors and nothing. Entering the NBA was even more troublesome.

Ricky Davis listened to Dunleavy's words, looked at the form in his hand, clenched his fists, and said: "Then...Coach Dunleavy, what do you think I should do? How should I do it so that I can perform better and serve the team better?"

contribute?"

To put it bluntly, he plays like the boss of the team, but his ability has long been unable to support his status as the boss.

It’s unbelievable, what’s going on? I’ve always been arrogant, but at first I thought James was here to help my man.

Dunleavy was prepared to face Davis' bad temper, but he didn't expect that this guy would give in?

Randolph's recent performance has been equally gratifying.

But after that one time, Randolph seemed like a different person, becoming more mature and reliable.

After all, Dunleavy is a veteran coach in the league. Min Congda does not put pressure on him to achieve results and allows him to perform freely. He will be completely obedient if he comes on the bench more often?

He has little ability and no evil intentions, so cheating and cheating will be discounted.

In terms of physical fitness and talent, Randolph is even better than Brand.

Davis found a stool and sat down on his own, saying, "What else can I plan to do? Let's play hard."

Instead of standing in the corner, running, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, he takes a shot, and then focuses on defense.

"You...you start with defense. You have to do additional defensive training every day for two weeks, and I will consider increasing your playing time."

Even if Min Congda asked, Dunleavy could explain that Davis himself didn't want to behave well.

After saying that, Davis got up from the bench and returned to the court to practice lateral movement and sliding.

Dunleavy said: "Do you think you are still capable of playing well? Your performance this month is not very good."

Ricky Davis' defense has always been a shortcoming, but he is 31 years old this year, so let him start practicing defense again?

Davis's playing style is that of a standard shooting guard. He has to hold the ball, break through, and play in isolation.

There are too many players like this in the NBA who are ambitious but not capable enough.

The most I can do is practice my defensive attitude and get back into shape, that's all.

Before the start of this season, Randolph got into trouble again with a nightclub beating.

Dunleavy also disliked this fat black man before.

"Mr. Smart came over and asked if Ricky Davis' playing time could be increased. After all, he has a salary of more than 2 million and it is not good to sit on the bench all the time. I said, his current state and performance,

If you asked him to be the coach, he would probably put himself on the bench. What do you think, Ricky?"

Dunleavy suddenly thought of Zach Randolph.

Even after renewing his contract in advance, he still played hard and changed his appearance on and off the court.

Dunleavy wanted to use such words to anger Davis and make Davis turn against him, so that Dunleavy would have a reason not to use him on the stage.

But those who are incapable cannot accomplish anything.

European League, Chinese League, or NBDL, etc., that is the right place for him.

Dunleavy felt that with Davis' ability and style of play, it would be better to go to the lower leagues and become Jordan.

Dunleavy has seen too much. If he wants to survive, he must shape himself into what the environment requires.

The Clippers in the 2005-2006 season are good memories of Dunleavy's coaching career. The team was really good that year.

With that said, Dunleavy showed Davis the statistics table of the November game. Davis still had scores, assists, and rebounds.

His body, his consciousness, and his technical foundation were basically finalized 10 years ago, so how can he practice?

But Davis nodded vigorously, and he actually agreed.

Where does Brand come from?

New York State Basketball Player in high school, graduated from the prestigious Duke University, NCAA Player of the Year, All-American First Team, John Wooden Award winner, No. 1 pick in the 1999 draft, and Rookie of the Season. No matter on the court or off the court,

They are all trustworthy top power forwards and true captains. Dunleavy never has to worry about them.

Now he lowers his head and asks the coach, what can I do to contribute to the team?

Dunleavy is neither very capable nor very capable. He doesn't want to confront others, but he is not completely submissive either.

But his high-level statistics are terrible. When he is on the court, the team's defense and offensive efficiency are declining.

But in terms of personality and background, Randolph and Brand are worlds apart.

"It's really strange. Does Smart really have any magic power?"

Dunleavy couldn't figure it out and was about to leave. Then when he passed by the gym, he saw Randolph doing strength training inside.

"Xie Te, this guy Smart...maybe really has magical powers...He seems to have a special affinity with these bastards. Is he Song Jiang?"

Not to mention, Dunleavy is quite knowledgeable and has read the English version of Water Margin, the story of 105 men and 3 women.
