(Second Update)

Cole was dubious about Lao Jin's words.

Cole was drafted by the Suns in the 1988 NBA Draft and has been playing in the NBA for more than 20 years.

No matter how the media promotes the NBA and gives NBA players a golden coat, Kerr knows that it is not as beautiful as most people think.

Passion, self-discipline, friendship, inspiration, etc., appear more in NCAA universities and high school basketball, which are purer places.

Entering the fame and fortune circle of the NBA, the good things are only part of it, and a lot of it is given to violence, pornography, gambling, the struggle for power and profit, ruthlessness, it can be said that it is full of pornography, gambling and drugs.

These are often covered up, just like the locker room of an NBA team, which is always open to the media and the public for a short time, and most of the time the door is closed to hide those shady things.

As a sports league with mainly black players, Cole knows very well the character of most of the players here.

If Lao Metal is a gangster, then he is at least a conscientious and good old gangster who can play a positive role in the team and bring a good team atmosphere.

And even if some players have excellent skills, outstanding statistics, and are all-powerful on the court, with thousands of fans cheering, they are out-and-out bastards off the court.

Another theory is that this person is good at wielding power and conspired to seize the ownership of the Clippers. He has already manipulated Sterling, suppressed the Clippers management, bought people's hearts, made one-sided remarks, and is stingy. He goes to the team cafeteria every day and never gives him anything.

money, and also took the team’s disposable cups and toilet paper home for use...

To put it bluntly, NBA teams are a workplace, and they are a workplace with high wages and high mobility.

Based on his own judgment and the few phone calls and contacts he had with Smart, Cole believed that the first statement was reliable.

Why does he not believe it so much? Isn’t this a fantasy?

They don't go to nightclubs to study techniques for picking up girls and gambling strategies. They continue to study business after work. It's just a joke.

The second theory, which Cole saw from Twitter, was that the origin of these remarks pointed to the mysterious account "NBA-Batman".

If they didn't have the skill of basketball, they would basically have zero contribution to society, or even have a negative effect, such as his former Bulls teammate Dennis Rodman.

Except for the Clippers news, everything on NBA-Batman is credible.

He decided to go to Los Angeles, take a look at the Clippers, and accept an interview with Smart.

Because if you don't do this, you won't be able to gain the respect of those old gangsters. They will think you are weak and easy to bully, and they will not listen to you.

Even some NBA Twitter accounts followed suit and started making some exaggerated news. Yesterday, Cole saw someone on Twitter posting, "Curry was shot by James Harden in the locker room and was later resurrected to ask for Smart."

"Min cut Harden", what the hell is this?

Maybe the Clippers are really the place where he can realize his career as king.

The Clippers conducted tactical training in the morning, and Cole discovered that Smart did not come to the training center.

This is why many coaches who look gentle and wear suits and ties are actually bad-tempered and swear a lot. They are not considered normal people in daily life.

The basketball court is a place where the jungle is strong. Most of the players have not finished college and have become rich overnight. What kind of noble character and qualities do you expect them to have?

In Kerr's impression, the coach with the best temper is Phil Jackson. He rarely yells, often sits on the court without saying a word, and has superior concentration.

"Of course not. Mr. Smart never cares about winning or losing. To tell you the truth, he didn't ask us to recruit assistant coaches, but I'm really old and can't help the team, so I have to turn to you for help."

But even for a team coached by Phil Jackson, Cole, as a person who has experienced it, knows that they are not at the point where the players will consciously practice new tactics and make progress together.

Now, Kim Hughes told him that the entire Clippers team was eager to win, and the players were training voluntarily and developing new tactics. His heart was suddenly touched.

Needless to say, in Cole's opinion, Michael Jordan is also an out-and-out bastard. It's just that this bastard is too good at playing on the court, but he is a bastard off the court. His paranoia, competitiveness and tyrant character, after all, promote

It has a positive effect on the progress of the entire team.

So Cole informed Kim Hughes that he was willing to interview with the Clippers and took a day off to go to Los Angeles.

Cole still couldn't believe it. He had had contact with Smart and heard many rumors.

A team composed of assholes often needs a bigger and more violent asshole to restrain everyone and push everyone towards victory and success.

"Smart won't force you to win and win the game?"

Who would voluntarily work overtime to jointly develop a new project that will never happen with colleagues who may not work together next year?

So I heard from Kim Hughes that the young people of the Clippers will practice tactical movement every day, think about it together, and learn passing and cutting tactics.

On January 2nd and 3rd, the Clippers had exactly two days without a game.

Because Jackson has an extraordinary ability to check and balance off the court, he can teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and he can talk to everyone and tell ghosts. From superstars to role players, from team owners to employees off the court, his interpersonal relationships are well managed and there is no need for violent suppression.

.

But once team gossip spreads, especially the Clippers gossip, it becomes extremely exaggerated. The team makes coups every day, with Smart seizing power one day and laying off employees the next.

The former statement came from Clippers employees, staff, and players, and Cole feels that the credibility is relatively high.

Cole is considered a loyal fan of NBA-Batman. He is not a fan of NBA-Batman because of the gossip, but he is very fascinated by the post-game analysis reports.

Kim Hughes knew that Cole didn't believe it, so he continued: "This is the atmosphere of the Clippers. Everything is spontaneous. If the players want to improve and win, they will calm down and study. It's that simple."

It's just that the content on NBA-Batman's Twitter is very polarizing, and when it comes to team trades and changes, it's quite accurate.

On the 3rd, the entire Clippers team organized training at the training center, and Cole came to visit the center.

There is a rumor that he is extremely generous, free and unrestrained, has a very high talent for basketball, is very accurate in reading people, is decisive in doing things, and does what he says. He is very loved by players and employees, and Sterling has great trust in him.

Curry, who had ankle surgery, is here.

He asked Kim Hughes: "Isn't Mr. Smart coming?"

Jin Hughes said: "Don't worry, he will definitely come for lunch."

Hearing what Lao Jin said, Cole's heart trembled, wondering if the second rumor was true?
