Chapter 236 Draw the sword 10,000 times, Kwame's trick
Blake Griffin himself may not have imagined such a result.
He originally thought that his desperate efforts would earn him the other party's begging for mercy and the team's increased attention.
He is like a child who threatens to run away from home. He and his management team believe that his parents will rush out to find him in a hurry, or even drag in a group of police officers.
However, the reality is that he screwed up.
Even though he started an internal strife in front of the whole world, even though he made it impossible for Mike Brown to step down, even though he caused the entire team to fall into a storm of public opinion.
However, the team remains motionless.
He is no longer the hope of the Clippers' revival. He is like a piece of chicken ribs and is no longer so indispensable.
Moreover, he did not establish a close relationship with any of the players. His departure did not even make the locker room feel a little weird, like ice cubes melting in water, silently and without ripples.
General manager Dunleavy's handling of the situation stunned Griffin and his agent. Dunleavy directly agreed to his trade request, but was suspended indefinitely until the transaction was completed.
And it's an unpaid suspension.
Old Dunleavy did not show any mercy to Griffin and his team. This can only show one thing: Griffin is no longer the core interest of the team.
Moreover, Dunleavy Sr. does not intend to tolerate any of Griffin's privileged behavior, nor will he tolerate his bad habits.
Griffin's team may have wanted to be coquettish in exchange for some benefits, but now Dunleavy has simply removed the stool, making it impossible for him to get off the ground.
Griffin went from being a favorite of heaven to being an outcast of the team.
This will greatly affect his future.
He will be described as a fiery player, a troublemaker in the locker room, and a thorn in the side of the head coach.
This will be a heavy blow to his personal image, and his commercial value will be greatly damaged.
Before the Madison Garden brawl, Carmelo Anthony's commercial value was very high, but that suspension destroyed his image, his commercial value plummeted, and he was classified as a problematic superstar.
among.
In the NBA, there are many unwritten rules. For players of the same strength, if the person is humble and polite, the probability of him getting a premium contract is extremely high. For example, Rashard Lewis can actually get a billion-dollar contract. And if you
If you are defined as a thorn in the side and trouble in the locker room, then your probability of getting a normal contract is extremely low. For example, Artest, Bunch Wells, etc.
Now, Griffin's agent has seen the trend.
Moreover, as the No. 1 pick, once he is sold by his home team, it will be difficult for him to get better treatment than his home team in any subsequent team. NBA super rookies will not seek to be traded at least during their rookie years.
Will Griffin be the first?
Will his promising future be completely ruined?
After Mike Brown and Mike Dunleavy Sr. hung up the phone, the matter actually came to a conclusion.
At the same time, Griffin was completely panicked, and he and his management team were in an ice cave.
They all realized they had screwed up.
Griffin acted willfully and fell out with the head coach in front of the whole world. His management team exerted extreme pressure, and as a result, they immediately removed the ladder...
"The only way now is for the Clippers to keep losing without you, and keep losing. Only by losing can you reflect your importance, and only by losing can your anger towards Mike Brown be justified." Griffin's agent said this
Say to Griffin.
He asked Griffin: "Do you think the Clippers' strength will plummet without you?"
Forehead….
Griffin fell into silence seriously. He thought about it for a long time, and he really had no answer. Because he was really not familiar with the current Clippers at all. He felt very unfamiliar. He just found that his status had declined seriously. It was not at all
Last season, I was in a situation where I was loved by thousands of people.
Therefore, he was wild and willful, never thinking that he would die if he got too addicted.
…
"The general manager said he would trade Griffin if the right leverage was available."
Mike Brown saw Fan Xi at the door of the locker room and said to Fan Xi.
His attitude towards Fanci is completely different from his attitude towards Griffin. As a top head coach, he can tell the difference between the big and the big.
He would report important matters to Fan Xi. As for Griffin, he didn't take it seriously.
If you are loyal to everyone on the team, then your loyalty is not absolute. If your loyalty is not absolute, you are absolutely disloyal.
This is Mike Brown's approach to coaching.
Fan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.
Trade Griffin?
When Fan Xi raised his eyebrows, those who knew him well knew that his brain, which was like a sophisticated computer, began to spin.
"This matter must be handled carefully and not acted on impulse."
Fancy said to Mike Brown.
Mike Brown didn't understand, but he nodded obediently. He knew that it didn't matter whether he understood the leader's thoughts or not, but that what mattered was to follow the leader.
…
Beep!
The second half of the game started quickly.
The Chicago Bulls obviously put a lot of effort into the locker room. Thibodeau is a very impressive head coach and he must have given a very informative speech.
As a result, Derrick Rose went straight to the paint area with the first ball. He directly broke through Fanxi's defense with amazing damage. Fanxi was indeed defending with all his strength. He followed Rose's first two steps, but Rose finally
His jumping step still threw him half a body away.
Rose is too difficult to defend.
He is worthy of being a physically strong man at the point guard position.
After Rose jumped into the paint, he dunked over Leonard...Leonard collided with him in the air, and Leonard was at a disadvantage, but Rose failed to smash the basketball in, but threw it in.
.
When he landed, Ross stumbled suddenly, and Fan Xi reached out to support him.
He couldn't help but said to Rose: "Derek, I can't reach out to support you every time. You can completely restrain yourself a little, and the effect will be the same. It's easy to break if it's too strong."
Fan Xi regarded Ross as a true friend, so she reminded him like this.
Ross just smiled shyly.
Of course he knew Fan Xi meant well, but over the years, his style of play had almost become fixed.
He likes this tough style of play, and he likes to force smashes at the end without making any fake moves. He does it incisively and vividly, and he doesn't care about the bearing capacity of his ankles, nor does he care about his knees.
How much torque will be exerted?
He just does this, accelerating, accelerating again.
Change direction without slowing down.
Dunk without pulling the basket.
Don't pull the lever when encountering a defense.
His basketball philosophy is to move forward.
This is probably why he is so loved by the media and fans.
After changing sides and fighting again, Fan Xi showed Rose's completely different handling methods.
Fanshie, like Rose, also rushed into the paint area sharply and quickly, but he paused, suddenly turned around and made a pass to Dunleavy from the outside. Joakim Noah's defense was taken away, and he took advantage of the situation.
Turn half of your body, hook your left hand, and the basketball enters the basket.
Also 2 points.
It's not any different in terms of score than Rose's difficult collision score.
He is even more elegant than Ross in terms of beauty and technique.
Rose obviously didn't understand anything. He turned around and went on to do his own thing. He and Joakim Noah covered the penalty area and passed the ball to Noah. Noah supported him from the high post and passed to Luol Deng in the bottom corner.
Er Deng hit a 3-pointer.
The Bulls attack like a tide.
However, looking back, the Clippers handled it easily.
Even Fansheed didn't participate in the offense. He passed the basketball to Hamilton, who made a feint and passed it to Dunleavy, who hit a jumper.
Although the Clippers have not formed a real offensive system now, their players are experienced and can play well according to their body memory.
The two teams are still evenly matched.
Although ESPN has been preaching that the Bulls will defeat the Clippers, the Clippers' lack of Griffin is like a locust losing its thigh.
But in fact, the Clippers made a sudden change of players, with Grant Hill, Vince Carter, Rasheed Wallace and others playing in succession, which did not affect the progress of the game at all.
They've always been able to hold up the bull.
He also performed extremely well on the defensive end.
The fans at the scene were extremely happy. They realized that something exciting was happening. The Clippers' massacre of the Lakers was not a fluke. Their strength had truly improved.
They can compete with last year's Eastern Conference regular season champions. At least in the first three quarters, the two teams continued to be tied.
87:87.
After the third quarter, both sides were still evenly matched.
This made the ESPN commentator, who had been talking down the Clippers at halftime, very uncomfortable and aggrieved.
They don't know what will happen next, but they are still saying that the Clippers are vulnerable and the Bulls will find their form soon. They will let the Clippers know what the league's first defense is. The Clippers are trying to use this
It was impossible for the stragglers to resist the Bull Legion.
God knows why they say so many things that they have no confidence in.
Maybe it's the so-called crooked butt.
The Bulls bench was not so heroic. Thibodeau was furious on the bench. He originally thought that the three quarters of the game could solve the newly formed new army. He had never underestimated Fanshie, but he did not expect the new Clippers' first team.
One official game can push the Bulls to this level, and they even gave up Griffin.
He thought it was a shame, so he yelled at the Bulls players. He demanded that these guys must win the game tonight, otherwise they would go back to Chicago and let them feel the joy of training.
The happiness in Thibodeau's mouth made everyone super unhappy.
They all stared angrily and vowed to fight the Clippers to the death.
…
"I feel that after the game, I'd better call Jack Fan. He is the only one who can help me now. I believe that I can help him, and he can also feel this."
After watching the third quarter, Griffin called his agent and was ready to give in.
But he didn't give in to Mike Brown, he gave in to Fan Xi.
He felt that in the current situation, only Fan Xi could save him.
If Fan Xi is willing to tell him the truth, he believes that all the bad things now will have a happy ending.
only….
His agent has two concerns: "Can Jack get management to change their minds and get Mike Brown to bury the hatchet? Also, are you really going to be the Robin next to him instead of becoming Batman yourself?"
Griffin sighed, and he recognized the reality. He said: "Yes, I have no other choice. The Clippers' situation this year will not be bad. Maybe if I follow him, I can become an All-Star starter. As long as I win consecutive
With two All-Stars starting, I can activate the Fanci clause."
Griffin said wistfully: "In fact, he and I have no essential conflict. It's just about adjusting my psychological position."
Griffin instantly became enlightened.
His agent was silent for a while, and that was all he could do.
…
The fourth quarter begins.
After Thibodeau's scolding, the Bulls players' condition improved dramatically.
At the beginning, Luol Deng used a crazy defense to lock Vince Carter in the corner. The poor demigod jumped up and didn't even pass the basketball. Luol Deng slapped him and flew out of the court.
Serving again, Leonard hoisted the basketball into the penalty area. Kwame Brown caught the basketball and was about to go for a layup when Joakim Noah hugged him directly from behind. Kwame Brown's brute force disappeared before it could take effect.
.
He was furious.
It took a lot of effort to catch a difficult pass without a smooth hand, but it was ruined in the end.
After the referee blew the foul whistle, he slammed the basketball to the ground, jumped into the basket with both hands, and jumped up... In the end, he did not hit the basketball into the basket... This was to
Eat it.
Kwame Brown is not smart at all, but his thinking is still clear.
At this moment, Fan Xi's eyes lit up.
He saw Kwame Brown hitting the ground with the ball and jumping suddenly... It was like a brown bear beating his chest hard, with infinite explosive power bursting out of his muscles.
Draw your sword ten thousand times!
This is the advantage of Kwame Brown.
If he has mastered this move, with his physique, his athletic ability, and his strength... not many people can guard him.
As long as he has a trick under the basket, he can gain a foothold in the now withering interior.
Fanci imagined Kwame Brown's offensive posture in his mind.
boom!
boom!
Missed both free throws.
Kwame Brown sighed in annoyance.
Fan Xi said to him: "You will become an elite player soon, Kwame, you are great."
Fanshi's praise left Kwame Brown confused.
But he is very useful and he runs faster.
He quickly rushed to the frontcourt and stayed under the basket.
At this time, Derrick Rose launched an impact. He cut into the penalty area like lightning, jumped into the air after a jump step, and Kwame Brown predicted the landing point of Rose's jump step. He moved over in advance, and when Rose bounced violently again,
Kwame Brown has jumped to suppress the past.
When Fan Xi saw this scene, there was only one sigh in his mind: What a talent.
This time, he was lamenting Kwame Brown.
However, Rose, who was extremely talented, had already surpassed Kwame Brown in the air. He slammed the basket hard, blocking Kwame Brown's body.
Kwame Brown couldn't stop Rose from smashing the basketball into the hoop.
But his strong body pushed Rose away.
Rose habitually doesn't catch the basket.
Therefore, his body fell backwards like a kite with its string broken.
Fan Xi quickly stretched out her hand.
But Rose's left foot landed first after all, and his ankle and knee were severely pinched.
But then, Fan Xi reached out to support Rose, preventing all his gravity and inertia from compressing his knees and ankles.
Fan Xi's hands bear great strength, but unlike Ross, he can release the force.
