The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 287 Make Me Pay The Price?
The Suns bench was silent, and head coach Alvin Gentry almost went crazy.

What Li Xun did was to slap him in the face.

Throwing the Morris brothers on the Suns bench like dead dogs, who is this for?

Of course it was for Gentry.

Gentry, the head coach, is a typical aspiring and talented man, who can't do anything, and has nothing left to eat.

In terms of qualifications, Gentry is actually an experienced coach in the league. He had already taken the position of head coach of the Heat in 94.

It's a pity that nothing has been done for so many years.

In 09, D'Antoni, the fast-break master who launched the seven-second offense in the Suns, resigned, and the transitional coach Terry Porter led the team to a record of 28 wins and 23 losses.

This record caused considerable dissatisfaction with the Suns management.

Because they feel that after spending a lot of money to introduce O'Neal, the Suns should have a more perfect record.

In this way, Porter was fired and Gentry took over the coach.

As a result, Gentry didn't get any better. Until today, the Suns have made him worse every year, and now they have become a bad team.

In terms of coaching ability, Gentry may not even be as good as Carlisle's feet.

There is of course a reason why a coach like him can survive in the league.

This is a princeling.

The cousin is the basketball player, Jordan's idol, Skywalker David Thompson.

With such a relative, it is obviously much easier for him to enter this circle. Later, he was favored by Larry Brown, and he has established a strong network in the league over the years.

It can be said that Gentry is the coach of the Brown Department.

After all, this NBA is actually a society of personal relationships.

Without Skywalker's halo blessing, Gentry guessed that it would be good to be a head coach in a high school.

Li Xun doesn't like all the coaches of the Brown family. One counts as one, and none of them is an exception.

And what happened tonight, the Morris brothers dared to be so arrogant. If there was no consent from Gentry, Li Xun would never believe it.

Two new melons, without the permission of the head coach, why would they dare to make trouble on the court.

"Li Xun, you are too rampant."

"This NBA is not your personal industry!"

Gentry growled angrily at Li Xun.

Just as Li Xun has no affection for Brown's coaches at all, Brown's coaches will definitely not have a good impression of Li Xun either.

Because their patriarch Brown has now completely disappeared in the NBA.

"It's really not my business."

"But you are not a threat to me yet."

Li Xun smiled.

"Banned! You will definitely be severely banned!"

"The alliance will definitely punish you severely!"

Gentry continued to roar.

Li Xun shrugged and looked at Gentry in an indifferent tone, "If you are banned, you will be banned."

"It's not like I haven't been suspended before."

"The said suspension is nothing special."

The referee's whistle had already sounded, but the referee didn't dare to urge Li Xun to roll off the court rashly.

Li Xun could only stand in front of Jin Teli and talk for a while.

"You will definitely pay the price, I swear!"

"I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Gent's ears were red, and he stood on the court and roared loudly.

He usually has a loud voice and often roars on the sidelines, as if all the Browns have such a problem.

Now under the rage, his voice has broken through the ceiling.

Li Xun looked at Gentry who lost his composure jokingly, and couldn't help becoming interested.

"Oh? Make me pay the price?"

"I'm looking forward to what the price you said is, don't tell me it's a suspension."

"The suspension is not a price for me at all, it just so happens that I can rest for a while."

"Don't just talk and do nothing, Alvin, I will patiently wait for the price you said."

After all, Li Xun laughed and walked towards his own locker room passage.

Seeing Li Xun's free and easy exit, the fans couldn't help standing up and applauding Li Xun.

For nearly 20 years, the Mavericks team seems to have nothing to do with toughness.

From the establishment of the team in 1980 until the rise of Nowitzki, during these 20 years, Blackman should be the most successful star in the history of the Mavericks.

Unfortunately, Blackman is not the kind of player who leaves a tough impression.

Some people describe him as the most underrated shooting guard in the 80s.

At first glance, this seems to be a compliment to Blackman, but after careful consideration, it is really not a compliment.

Doesn't this mean that no one pays attention to Blackman?If someone really paid attention, how could it be considered underestimated.

Later, in the Nowitzki era, not to mention.

That is to say, leading the team to the finals before can be regarded as taking off the hat of a softie, otherwise the driver will still be called a softie now.

And Li Xun's entry into the team has completely changed the mental outlook of the Mavericks.

Whether it is Blackman or Nowitzki, they are definitely not the same type of players as Li Xun.

From now on, when it comes to the Mavericks, the fans' first impression will definitely not be soft.

The game continued on the court, and the Mavericks held a great advantage. Even without Li Xun, it is impossible to lose this game.

And even if Li Xun didn't appear on the stage from the beginning to the end, with the Suns' damn lineup, it's unlikely that they will be the opponent of the Mavericks.

Now the Mavericks' lineup is not a show, it really has real strength.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Mavericks beat the Suns by 118 points with a score of 96:22.

Clay's performance is still outstanding.

Li Xun was not here tonight, and Nowitzki deliberately gave him the ball, causing him to take as many as 21 shots.

That is to say, he mainly plays off the ball, and the number of shots is destined not to be too many, otherwise it is possible to take [-] shots tonight.

He made 21 shots, including 11 three-pointers and five hits, and five of the other 10 two-pointers. In addition, he made 5 of 4 free throws and scored 29 points.

The offensive efficiency is not particularly outstanding, but this kind of stable performance is actually more terrifying.

If he can play this kind of offensive efficiency every night, he must at least be a top three-pointer when the four major shooting guards are collectively aging or retiring.

Whether it can be stabilized all the time is a question.

Jiba also played well tonight, scoring 12 points in exchange for 17 shots.

The little assassin Thomas is the king of the final quarter. After the first three quarters, the Mavericks only led by 12 points.

As a result, Thomas showed his power in the last quarter and scored 14 points, directly opening the point difference to 22 points.

The little assassin also scored a good 26 points in the whole game.

Mavericks fans are dumbfounded.

Are you sure these three are Pistons abandoners?

Why is one braver than the other?
If it's just a single game, it's fine. In the last game, the three of them teamed up and scored 60+ points.

In this game, the three of them even scored 70+ points.

The key is that they are still so young, all of them are sophomores, and the Mavericks can at least let them do child labor for two or three years.

It's such a bargain.

Thinking about the No. [-] pick sent by the Mavericks and the No. [-] pick picked by the Pistons, it is really unsightly.

Any one of these three abandoned generals will be better than the second place of the parallel importer.

Thinking of this, Mavericks fans couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Fortunately, they traded with the Pistons, otherwise, if their Mavericks chose the second place in the parallel imports, it would be too miserable now.

It's not just the Pistons who gave up the trio that performed well.

Green also got a chance tonight. Li Xun wasn't there, so he played a lot more.

在27分钟的出场时间里，格林拿到了6分7篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽的数据。

Has already initially shown its all-around ability.

This also made the Mavericks fans secretly surprised that a [-]th overall pick actually selected such a versatile rookie.

This is like a poor man's version of Li Xun!

The Mavericks have a characteristic, that is, they like to make some super giants of the poor man's version.

Like the poor man's version of Jordan, Michael Finley.

Like the poor man's version of Bird, Antoine Walker.

For example, the poor version of Iverson, Tyronn Lue.

Grandpa Lu's version can no longer be said to be the poor man's version, it belongs to the bankrupt version.

These players have all played for the Mavericks.

Now there is another poor man's version of Lee Hoon.

"Boss, we won."

"Big victory with 22 points, the three of us scored more than 70 points!"

After Jiba returned to the locker room, he quickly announced the good news to Li Xun.

"Not bad, the three of you played well."

"Come on, I don't think it will take long for you to be in the All-Star."

Li Xun encouraged the three of them.

The eyes of the three are shining, can they make it to the All-Stars?This is the dream of all young NBA players.

Whether it is a star, strength is only one aspect, and the other is whether it has been selected into the All-Star team.

Clay is okay, after all, his father is the champion.

For players from the bottom like Jiba and Thomas, their hearts started to thump.

Their draft is not high, especially Thomas Jr., who almost lost the draft.

If he can really be selected for the All-Star lineup, it will definitely be a good story.

"Boss, I didn't play badly tonight. When I left the field, many fans cheered for me."

Big Mouth Green also stepped forward to claim credit.

Li Xun nodded with a smile, "That's right, you two rookies are also playing well, I think you'll be in the All-Star sooner or later."

As soon as the words came out, Middleton blushed.

Because he is still a little transparent, in the last two games, he only scored two points in total.

This is still mixed in garbage time.

Li Xun said that he could be an All-Star, and he felt like he was hurting himself.

Li Xun definitely didn't have such thoughts. Players like Middleton actually lacked an opportunity.

As long as he is given a chance, he can soar into the sky at any time.

Of course, these two rookies definitely have no chance to be selected as All-Stars this year.

On the one hand, due to the rules, rookies cannot be selected for the All-Star team.

But even if there were no such rules, the ability and attention of these two people were not in place, and there was still a big gap between them and the All-Stars.

But the Pistons will definitely have a chance this year when they abandon the trio.

Because Li Xun tossed with the Pistons in the past few years, he tossed many stars to the East.

This also makes the All-Star competition in the West less intense, and one of the lucky three may actually be selected for the All-Star lineup.

At least Clay's chances are not small.

While Li Xun was chatting with several newcomers, Cuban also walked into the locker room.

Just now he had been thinking hard on the sidelines, which bodyguard should be suitable for Li Xun.

To act as a bodyguard, at least one person must be tall, strong and strong, and must have a rough enough personality.

Otherwise, if something happens, who will protect who is not sure.

For example, both Oakley and Washington are power forwards, and they are both strong and hot enough.

After thinking hard for a long time, Cuban also had no idea.

Just run over and ask Li Xun.

"Li, judging from what happened tonight, I have to find a bodyguard for you."

Cuban said solemnly.

Carlisle on the side nodded, this is indeed a question that must be put on the agenda.

As a head coach, the last thing you want to see is definitely the suspension of players in the team.

And this is the core of the team's core being suspended.

If there was a bodyguard, Li Xun would not have to do anything if this kind of thing happened again.

Li Xun shook his head and smiled wryly, "Mark, do you think too much?"

"What era is this? It's not the wild era of the last century."

"There is no need for bodyguards at all. Brother Morris is a minority after all, and I don't think they will dare to provoke me again."

As soon as Li Xun finished speaking, Jiba and Green were unhappy.

"Boss, I am the bodyguard, definitely the most competent bodyguard."

"If the boss hadn't waved me away today, I would have taken the heads of the Morris brothers."

"Don't worry, I will never allow this to happen again in the future."

Jiba patted his chest and promised.

"And me, no matter who dares to provoke the boss in the future, I will definitely be the first to stand up."

"We are the best bodyguards."

Green also said confidently.

Li Xun was speechless, these two guys are talking nicely now, if they really encounter hard problems, I guess I have to protect them both.

Cuban beamed, these two rookies are good!
There are currently five rookies in the team, and each Cuban is particularly pleasing to the eye.

In the past ten years or so, the Mavericks have always had a good record, so they have never had a high draft pick.

There are no decent rookies in the annual draft.

Cuban has never experienced a situation full of potential rookies like the current one.

……

That night, Stern suffered from insomnia again.

Li Xun's behavior on the court tonight was really bad, and he insulted Gentry to death.

If it were someone else, Stern would not hesitate to give a guaranteed [-]-game suspension.

But this person happened to be Li Xun, and Stern couldn't give so many suspensions.

When he was in the Pistons before, the facts have proved Li Xun's box office appeal.

The games with Li Xun, no matter the home or away games, were all sold out, and the ticket prices could be sold up.

If Li Xun was suspended for [-] games, how much money would he lose?

This is all wasted gold, and Stern doesn't want his alliance to lose even a penny.

But if it is impossible to ban the game, it is definitely impossible. What will other players think?
So Stern is in a dilemma now, thinking about how to punish Li Xun all night.

Emotionally, he didn't want to suspend Li Xun, because he felt that he still owed Li Xun a big favor.

Li Xun left the Pistons, this is a favor.

Even though the two never talked about it, Stern still felt that Li Xun had done him a big favor.

It wasn't until early in the morning that Stern made up his mind and called Xiao Hua.

"Adam, come up with a punishment and suspend Li Xun."

"How many games are suspended?" Xiao Hua asked curiously.

"Three games? No, it's really too few, maybe five games." Stern said with a sigh.

Xiao Hua was speechless, such a bad incident was only suspended for five games?
Could it be that Li Xun was having an affair with Stern?This is too doting on Li Xun.

It is estimated that Gentry was so angry that he vomited blood!
