At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 39 Du Zhe’s Position

Seeing Du Zhe's resolute attitude, Ellis felt heartbroken.

He is no longer as aggressive as before, and no longer expects to win this one-on-one. He only hopes that Du Zhe can score the winning goal as soon as possible and end this public execution of him.

"Du, um, I... my attitude just now was indeed a bit excessive. I apologize to you... and Moreau." Ellis muttered.

Ellis' voice was as thin as a mosquito's gnat, and Du Zhe, who wanted to get the system reward, couldn't hear what the other party was saying. For him, getting the system reward as soon as possible was the most important thing.

After mechanically passing the ball to Du Zhe, Ellis has given up on defense and watched Du Zhe shoot resignedly.

As an opponent, Ellis was so looking forward to Du Zhe being able to make this goal.

Now he really regretted that he had offended such a madman.

If the time could go back more than half an hour, he would only want to say one thing: "Give me the ball, I want to go home."

Although the opponent had no intention of defending at all, Du Zhe still shot and shot very steadily, and hit the ball steadily.

He smiled happily as the notification sounded that the task was completed.

Du Zhe, who received two awards, was in a good mood. He patted Ellis on the shoulder and said magnanimously: "Mengta! Although you did something unethical today, we are still teammates after all. Since you have apologized Alright, let's get over this matter!"

"When you go back to the court, you can fight as you should without any mental burden." At this time, Du Zhe looked like a generous elder.

Ellis on the side also left the training hall as if he was being amnesty, for fear that Du Zhe would change his mind and continue to drag him into a duel.

The victory and defeat were decided, and the training hall, which had been tense and noisy just now, returned to calm again.

After calming down, Du Zhe finally had time to check the rewards for this mission.

The first is the gold-level talent randomly given by the system-microwave.

After acquiring this talent, if Du Zhe can hit consecutive shots, he will receive a bonus to his shooting feel for a certain period of time.

But for the gold-level microwave talent to activate, it needs to hit 3 goals in a row, which is a little bit reluctant for the current Du Zhe.

Fortunately, after completing the task of single-handedly defeating Ellis, the system also rewarded him with a talent upgrade card. After using it, Du Zhe successfully raised his microwave talent to the highest level - Hall of Fame level.

Now he only needs to hit two consecutive goals on the court to get the blessing of microwave talent. This threshold can be said to be very low.

Although Du Zhe's ability value is still only 78 points now, he is at the level of a starter for a weak team and a substitute for a strong team.

But with the equipment of stealer's gloves, coupled with the skill of microwave, he can also explode at the quasi-all-star level under certain circumstances.

Moreover, due to his specialization in adding points, he can even completely suppress some ordinary stars who are incompatible with each other in offensive and defensive situations in explosive situations.

It's just that the duration of this outbreak is not stable, and it is not enough to support Du Zhe to play the whole game.

…………

Seeing that the farce was over, the head coach of the Warriors, Old Nelson, was about to get up and leave slowly.

He had not shown his face just now, just silently observing the development of the situation.

From his point of view, although these boys were quite noisy, they still solved the problem on the court after all, and they didn't overdo it. Naturally, there was no need for him to intervene.

As for Ellis, although he can be regarded as a confidant and favorite general cultivated by old Nelson, after all, he has a lack of character, and it is not a bad thing to have someone to suppress his fiery temper.

However, how this matter will end is a bit of a headache for old Nelson. It seems that he still needs to have a good communication with these two young people, let this matter end here, and don't make any bigger troubles in the locker room contradiction.

…………

Early the next morning, the Warriors head coach's office.

"Dong dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

As soon as old Nelson finished speaking, he saw Du Zhe push the door open and enter.

Nelson was deeply relieved to see Du Zhe come to him early in the morning and felt that this young man was quite good.

"It seems that Ellis can be called over later. When the time comes, I will mediate and let the two take a step back to resolve the conflict. It will be a good story of reconciliation."

Thinking that this farce that might cause chaos in the locker room was about to be eliminated by himself, Old Nelson's frown suddenly relaxed, and his words became more polite: "It's Xiao Du, sit down quickly! One big day. You came to me earlier, maybe there was something wrong."

"Yes, I do have something to discuss with the coach." Facing Old Nelson, Du Zhe's attitude was very respectful.

"I want to re-discuss my team positioning with you, the coach."

Hearing Du Zhe's words, old Nelson's heart that was still warm just now turned cold again.

I couldn't help but think to myself: "Did this guy use what happened yesterday to force him to have a baby? It seems that he has misjudged the wrong person..."

However, Du Zhe's recent performance is indeed good, and with Ellis making such a fuss, it is normal for him to feel dissatisfied and want to improve the team's status.

Thinking of these, old Nelson immediately fell into a battle between heaven and man.

Anyway, the coaching staff had planned to increase Du Zhe's shooting power, why not just agree to it as a favor?
no!If Du Zhe makes such a fuss, the team agrees to his request, then how to maintain the prestige of the coaching staff and the management?Will the team be in a mess in the future?

Old Nelson, as an old coach, has a tough character.

When he was coaching the Dallas Mavericks, in order to protect the injured Nowitzki, he rejected Mavericks owner Cuban's request to let Nowitzki play in the playoffs with injuries.

Although this incident became one of the triggers for his dismissal from Mavericks in the future, the old coach has never regretted it, and he still does his own way.

Such a tough and seasoned coach naturally thinks more deeply and thoroughly.

After thinking for a while, Nelson made up his mind to increase Du Zhe's ball rights?There's no problem with that, but it can't be now, at least not until this storm has passed.

So he opened his mouth and prepared to tactfully reject Du Zhe's request: "Xiao Du, the team has performed well recently, and you are part of the credit for this. It also shows that our current tactical system is still acceptable."

"You'd better overcome it first and then take a closer look. After a while, our coaching staff will make timely adjustments based on the actual situation." In the end, Nelson was afraid that Du Zhe would be dissatisfied, so he quietly hinted.

"Okay, since you've said that, coach, I'll continue to start..." Before he could speak, Du Zhe was blocked. This made Du Zhe a little discouraged.

"Well, that's right... isn't it? What do you mean by continuing to be the starter?" Halfway through, Nelson finally realized something was wrong and looked at Du Zhe in disbelief.

"Yes, coach, I have been a starter in these games. Although I have performed well and the team has defeated several strong opponents, I always feel that I am more suitable for the substitute position. It seems more comfortable to play as a substitute. I can show my strength.”

"You... really think so?" Old Nelson still had a hint of surprise in his tone, but Du Zhe couldn't help but believe in his serious expression.

"Yes, and as a rookie, I feel very sorry to let the veteran Maggette serve as a substitute for me." Du Zhe took out the speech he prepared last night and continued to persuade the old Nelson.

Rejecting the starting position and continuing to play as a substitute is an issue that Du Zhe has been considering for the past two days. Especially after receiving the "microwave" talent yesterday, his idea has been strengthened.

One is because he will face less defensive pressure against the opponent's bench lineup, so that he can activate his microwave talent more easily, forming a virtuous circle and producing beautiful data.

The second is that Du Zhe feels that with his current strength, besides the best defensive player, it is really difficult to compete for awards such as MVP and scoring champion. On the contrary, he has a great chance for the award of best sixth man Go for it, and for this award, the rewards given by the system are quite generous.

That's why he made up his mind to continue playing as a substitute.

As for playing time, Du Zhe also has his own calculations. As long as his efficiency is high enough and his touch is good enough, the team will not rigidly insist on replacing him. The time is also more than three 10 minutes.

It's just that Nelson didn't know what Du Zhe was thinking. In his opinion, Du Zhe did this to resolve the previous conflicts and take the initiative to give the other side a step down so that the team can continue to get back on track.

I didn’t expect this young man to have such magnanimity and mind!Comparing it to the conceited and impulsive Ellis, Nelson couldn't help but admire Du Zhe's high moral character.

Winning without being arrogant, taking the overall situation into consideration, this mature way of dealing with things is really not something that a young man in his early twenties can achieve.

Perhaps this young man is the future of the Warriors.

Monta Ellis' position in the heart of his mentor, Old Nelson, was shaken again.

But old Nelson is an old quack after all. Although his heart was agitated, he didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He was still smiling and asked calmly, "Du, do you really think so?"

"Well, I've been thinking about this for a few days."

After confirming Du Zhe's true thoughts again and again, old Nelson excitedly took the case.

"Okay! Du, I agree to your request. From now on, you will be the team's sixth man. As for playing time, you don't have to worry about it. I have my own arrangements."

Old Nelson's sudden change in attitude shocked Du Zhe, but since his goal had been achieved, he no longer wasted time and was ready to say goodbye and leave directly.

Just as he was about to open the door to go out, he heard old Nelson say behind him: "Du! If Ellis still dares to trouble you later, you don't have to worry about him, just tell me."

But as soon as these words came out, Old Nelson felt that he was unnecessary.

Yesterday, Ellis was almost cried by Du Zhe. He probably wouldn't dare to provoke Du Zhe again even if he had the guts to do so.

"Also, I will report it to the management later and give Ellis an additional two-game suspension. This guy is becoming more and more unruly!" Nelson was so angry that he asked Du Zhe to suspend Ellis.

This is actually to take care of Du Zhe's face. After all, Du Zhe has already made concessions and went to play as a substitute. If Ellis is not punished, it is obviously difficult to convince the public.

"I don't think it's worth forgetting. Now that the team has a lot of illnesses, it's time to employ people. There is no need to suspend players for such a trivial matter."

Du Zhe knew that Ellis was the old Nelson's confidant and favorite player. In addition, the current team lineup is not neat, and the old Nelson may be just pretending to suspend the game.

"Since that's the case, let's do as you want, but it's too cheap for him. We can..." Du Zhe's generosity made old Nelson's favorability for him soar again, and he quickly went downhill. I agreed.

…………

Subsequently, on the Warriors training ground, the assistant coach announced the lineup for the next game.

Seeing Du Zhe being placed on the bench, many players felt aggrieved for him.

It was Ellis who provoked the trouble, but why was it Du Zhe who was punished? Could the boss of the team do whatever he wanted?
What's more, in terms of strength, it's still unclear who is more qualified to be the team boss, Ellis or Du Zhe.

If head coach Nelson hadn't been standing by, the other players might have been unable to help but start talking.

And Ellis, who was beaten yesterday and was frightened, regained a little bit of confidence when he saw someone supporting him. He glanced around the other teammates sternly, as if declaring his sovereignty.

Looking at Old Nelson standing aside, Ellis was even more proud. After all, he was still his mentor.

What's the use of Du Zhe's spanking?To go out and hang out, you need to have power and background.

Thinking of this, Ellis looked at Old Nelson more earnestly.

But the next second, a loud shout made him tremble.

"Ellis! Come out!"

It was the head coach Old Nelson who had been standing silently aside just now who spoke.

Hearing the teacher's words, Ellis didn't dare to delay, and quickly stood up.

Although he was rebellious, he didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of old Nelson.

After all, Ellis's status today is largely due to Nelson's trust and training.

When Nelson first took over the Warriors, Ellis was just a second-round pick averaging 6 or 7 points per game.

It was the old Nelson who gave him the starting position and playing time, which made him grow into the league star who averaged 20+ per game today.

It can be said that Ellis is a soldier brought out by old Nelson.

"Ellis, you provoked your teammates for no reason during the training match and violated team discipline. Now the team has decided to suspend you for five games!" Old Nelson's tone was cold, with unquestionable majesty.
