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

Chapter 40 Want to become the boss of the team?
Suspended?Five games?
Hearing the familiar word suspension, Ellis's mind suddenly buzzed.

The painful memories of last season flooded into his mind again.

At that time, the team was almost about to cancel his contract. If it wasn't for the support of his mentor, Nelson, he might have been kicked out by the team long ago.

Despite this, he was suspended by the team for [-] games, which also cost him a heavy price.

But what happened today?Isn't my mentor here to support me?Why was I still suspended?Ellis felt a little out of his mind.

But one thing he still knows is that he was suspended for thirty games last season. If he is suspended again this season, his status in the team and his reputation in the league will be really in danger.

I wonder which team would trust a player who is suspended every year?In the eyes of every team in the league, he will also become synonymous with the cancer and thorn in the locker room.

What's more, the suspension does not pay wages. The 300-game suspension last season has cost Ellis more than [-] million dollars in vain. The five-game suspension will also cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars. The flesh hurts endlessly.

After all, as a second-round pick, Ellis' previous salary was actually not high. Although he also signed a big contract last season, he lost a large amount of salary in the first year of signing because of his own death. .

Thinking of this, Ellis turned to his mentor Nelson again for help. In this situation, he could only hope that the old coach would remember his old friendship and be able to show his favor.

But Nelson was just thinking about the punishment to himself and didn't pay attention to him at all.

Old Nelson's attitude made Ellis feel cold, and the old man ignored him, so who else could save him?

Looking around again, the other players obviously seemed to be watching the excitement without taking too much trouble...

It's over, it's completely over now... Ellis can only resign himself to his fate now.

Suddenly a voice sounded, interrupting Old Nelson's speech.

"Coach, our team is full of injuries right now. It's not easy to get the current ranking. If Ellis is suspended again, I'm afraid it will affect the team's record and let everyone's efforts go to waste..."

"Besides, Ellis and I are just comparing our skills. A direct ban of so many games would be too harsh."

It was Du Zhe who spoke. Although his voice was not loud, these words caused a commotion among the players. Everyone looked up to see who was the brave guy who dared to tease Old Nelson. Tiger whiskers.

After seeing that it was Du Zhe interceding for Ellis, several young players who were familiar with him, including Curry and Moreau, were puzzled.

Ellis was obviously so aggressive yesterday, and his suspension for a few games can just kill his prestige. Why did Du Zhe intercede for him?
When the other melon-eating people saw a new situation, they ignored the presence of Old Nelson and started talking one after another, looking forward to the next change of the situation.

In their view, although Du Zhe went too far in punishing Ellis yesterday, it was the other party's fault. And when he just pleaded for Ellis, he was considering the overall situation of the team. Obviously, he was better than Ellis who didn't know the importance. Much stronger.

Only Ellis, as the person involved, was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He once again hurriedly apologized to Du Zhe, hoping that the other party would give him a few more kind words. The confidence he had just mustered up suddenly returned. Nothing left.

It could be seen that yesterday's heads-up had left a lot of psychological shadow on him.

"Du, even though you say that, there are no rules, and the team also has team discipline. The penalty for Ellis is a decision made by the team after careful consideration!" Old Nelson sighed, pretending to be embarrassed.

"Coach, please think again. Let Ellis go this time. If he commits another crime in the future, the team will double the punishment." Du Zhe's tone was sincere, and he began to compete with old Nelson.

Hearing Du Zhe's words, Old Nelson frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and said hesitantly, "Since you are so persistent, that's fine. I'll discuss it with the management and see if I can do it." The penalty against Ellis cannot be withdrawn."

"But I can only do my best. Whether it works or not depends on the management's decision." At the end, Nelson added another sentence, which made Ellis, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly become worried again.

"Well, thank you coach." Du Zhe's attitude was very modest, and he couldn't see the spirit of yesterday's one-on-one match with Ellis.

After communicating with Du Zhe, Old Nelson suddenly changed the subject, turned around and said to Ellis in a stern voice: "And you, do you hear me clearly? If you dare to do anything in the future, the team will never take it lightly. Spare!"

At this time, Ellis was like a deflated ball, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

But what Ellis and the other team members didn't know was that the so-called suspension penalty was nothing at all, and what the old Nelson said about discussing with the management was pure nonsense. These were just a double reed sung by Du Zhe and the old Nelson That's all.

In the eyes of other players, it is obvious who will have the last laugh in this turmoil.

Not only was Ellis, the team boss, toyed with by Du Zhe in the one-on-one duel, but the subsequent attitude of head coach Nelson also clearly showed that he was on Du Zhe's side.

As for Du Zhe's follow-up operation to intercede with Ellis, it just made this group of simple-minded bosses feel deeply. Compared with Ellis, who is rebellious and has eyes above the top, Du Zhe's bearing is so high where it goes.

However, all of this was based on Du Zhe's one-on-one defeat of Ellis.

After all, the NBA values ​​strength first, and generosity without strength as a support is just weak and can be bullied in the eyes of others.

Only with absolute strength can your generosity become what others call magnanimity and leadership qualities.

The reason why old Nelson dared to handle Ellis was not only that the opponent was a player trained by him, but also to a large extent due to Ellis' own poor strength.

If Ellis had the ability to compete with top stars such as Kobe and James, Nelson would never resort to such methods.

After this turmoil, Du Zhe's team status also soared. The limelight faintly overshadowed Ellis's, and he has become the center of the young players.

After all, the Warriors' players have been very mobile in the past few seasons, and most of the players in the team are rookies and homeless players.

Except for Ellis and Biedrins, most of the other players have played for the Warriors for no more than two seasons, and it can be said that their qualifications are not deeper than Du Zhe.

In this way, except for those old players who have been playing for many years, Du Zhe's prestige in the circle of young players can be said to have risen in a straight line.

After a few days of training, Du Zhe found that he was going to play as a substitute, but why did he feel more and more like the boss of the team?
