Chapter 501: The Origin of Thorn Whiteside
And he realized that Whiteside's mind was worse than he thought.
Although a person is not bad, he has a bad mind and is also a thorn who loves to cause trouble.
If you continue to do this, the Pelicans may really want him.
Whiteside finally apologized to the whole team at Williams' request, but from his expression, he was really reluctant.
This performance is reflected in that the team members took the bus back to the hotel one after another, and he was still in the locker room alone.
Tang Tian didn't go with the team either.
He had told Demps before that he would talk to Whiteside once, and that was a chance.
And if it is not useful this time, he plans to give up.
Although Whiteside will have good strength in the future, for the Pelicans, it is only this season.
As a time traveler, Tang Tian wants to strengthen the team in the draft next season, which is much easier than this.
"Tell me, why did you go back to the locker room early today? There is no one else here. You have nothing to say to me."
After Tang Tian sat down, he said straight to the point.
"I can't play, so there is no difference between leaving earlier and leaving later."
Whiteside said.
Although Tang Tian didn't say that, he was able to sign a contract with the team, and his agent told him about Tang Tian's help, so he trusted Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was stunned when he heard this. Is this guy really not good at thinking?
"Then is there no difference between you being in this team and not being in this team?"
He looked at Whiteside and asked back.
When Whiteside heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then remained silent.
"You are in this team and you are a member of this team. Don't you know that your behavior should be consistent with the team? Didn't anyone tell you that you can't do that?"
When Tang Tian saw Whiteside's reaction, he was a little angry.
Whiteside shook his head.
“…”
Tang Tian suddenly felt that some people became thorns and were fond of trouble, but Whiteside's words were really bad.
"When I was in Sacramento, I saw players doing this, but the coaching staff didn't say anything."
Whiteside then defended himself.
When he heard this, Tang Tian was stunned for a moment and suddenly stopped getting angry.
Speaking of which, he was a coach in his previous life and had seen many such players.
The player's growth environment will largely determine his future.
For example, Durant can have the most firepower in the Thunder in his rookie season, but Milicic sits on the Pistons bench.
Kwame Brown might have grown very well if he didn't play under Jordan, and Bennett might be a good role player if he was not selected as the No. 1 pick.
These encounters, even the actions of these teammates mentioned by Whiteside, will affect the players' mentality and thus their future.
After all, players are people, not machines for playing basketball.
"I don't care what you are because of, or you were late for the last time in training because someone in Sacramento set an example for you, but Hassan, I just want to remind you one thing now."
Tang Tian continued.
He spoke up a little while he said this and looked straight at Whiteside.
"You have only less than 6 days left to leave the NBA again."
Whiteside was obviously stunned when he heard this.
"The NBA provides at most two ten-day short contracts to one player. With your current performance, it is impossible for the management to renew your contract with you."
Tang Tian said it very clearly, and Whiteside's eyes changed.
"So I said 6 days is really 6 days. If you can't catch it, just continue to go to the overseas league to travel and wander around."
"I don't want to go to Lebanon again."
Whiteside immediately spoke instinctively. He had encountered terrorist attacks while playing in Lebanon, and he would never forget the feeling.
"The Development Alliance is also good. In just a few years, you can take all your buses for the rest of your life."
Tang Tian continued.
The Development League’s salary is low, and it is not like the NBA. No matter how far away you are, there are buses to wait until you vomit.
"Don, I want to stay in the NBA."
Whiteside said seriously.
Sister, finally said this. If the Pelicans' inside player wasn't really weak now, he wouldn't have the time to be hard-working here.
"But the coach never trusted me. I had very little playing time before and it was very fragmented. Now I don't let me enter the activation list."
Whiteside continued, and he was full of resentment when he said this.
"Do you really think it was Williams' prejudice against you if he didn't play much before?"
Whiteside nodded.
When Tang Tian saw Whiteside's reaction, he really wanted to jump up and give him a hairy chestnut. This guy is really bad at brains.
"You make a foul for two minutes, tell me, if I were Williams, how could I give you playing time?"
Tang Tian asked back.
Whitesay stammered for a long time without saying a decent word.
"Forget it, I'll help you one last time."
Tang Tian said as he took out his tablet and threw it to Whiteside.
"There are some details on how to control fouls."
He continued, saying that this was what he had sorted out himself before to help Davis.
Davis is cute, but he has a high ball player and has a good understanding. He basically controlled the foul after spending half a season.
If Whiteside's words were all about his mind, he could only look at luck.
"Apart from this, I can't help you anymore. You only have 6 days left to impress Coach Williams."
After Tang Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left.
This is really what he can help in the end. He is not Whiteside's biological father. If the latter doesn't have the time to do anything, he will not have time to do anything.
The next day, the Pelicans flew to Washington to usher in a away game against the Wizards.
The Wizards have been in decline for several years since the disintegration of the Trident.
Now Wallbill has taken two guns, plus Ariza and Gotat, a group of outstanding role players, currently ranks fifth in the Eastern Conference and is very strong.
The two teams played until the fourth quarter before they decided to win.
Evans grabbed offensive rebounds next to Gott, and Tang Tian and Davis scored one after another.
The Pelicans won the Wizards in a wave, ending the team's two consecutive losses.
Tang Tian scored another 35 points in this game, Davis also scored 20+10 data, and Evans continued to perform with rebounding 15 rebounds.
The Wizards performed averagely with their double guns, but Ariza was accurate, and scored 6 three-pointers and scored 23 points.
Although it is called Tieza by fans, when it comes to accuracy, there are 3 and D, and he is a very outstanding puzzle player.
Whiteside still did not make it to the activation list. After this game, he only had the last five days of his career with the Pelicans, or the last two games.
One fights the magpires, one fights the king.
