NBA: The strongest physical talent, the inside is king

"I think the team's goal should be more practical, that is, to play badly!"

"Then wouldn't our efforts in the previous games be in vain? The current situation is that as long as we persist, we can make history and enter the playoffs!"

"What if we can't make it?"

"That's right, you have to fight to know! If you play badly, everything will be ruined!"

In the meeting room of the Charlotte Arena, a fierce debate is going on, and soon it turns into a quarrel!

Head coach Bernie Bickerstaff and general manager Petty Tom's faces are not very good at this time!

A team is not controlled by the general manager and the head coach!

In the management, there are also operations directors, executive presidents and vice presidents!

There is naturally direct intervention from the boss!

Most team owners will not interfere with the team's lineup and tactical aspects, but there are exceptions!

For example, Cuban of the Mavericks!

When encountering such a boss, the power of the general manager and the head coach can be easily hollowed out!

The Mavericks once made a farce of two teams in their previous life.

Cuban brought his team and General Manager Nelson's team to the draft at the same time, and then made different choices and trades!

As a result, of course, the boss has the final say!

But Nelson has been ridiculed by his peers!

Another example is a family business like the Lakers' old Buss, who relies entirely on the team to survive!

There are endless infighting inside!

Various creative positions have also emerged, and the people below sometimes don't know who to listen to!

Now a newly established team like the Bobcats has not yet evolved into such a complicated interest mountain!

However, the goal of Petty Tom and Bernie Bickerstaff to strive for the playoffs set at the beginning of the season still encountered great doubts at this time!

And the other party is not unreasonable, what he said makes sense!

Then it becomes a question of choice!

"I suggested before the season started that we should play badly this season to compete for the No. 1 pick, because there will be two high-quality point guards next season!"

"Then we can form a core of one inside and one outside, and then supplement it with other role players. This is a standard team building idea!"

"The hope of success is great!"

"But you had different opinions at the time, thinking that relying on Wang Ke, you can take off right from the start!"

"I have to admit that I underestimated Wang Ke, and your estimation of Wang Ke was correct. He is really strong!"

"But he needs help!"

" This season, we can't find the helper through the transaction, there is no bargaining! But "but we can bring him a second home by the draft next season!" "You, can you not wait for a season!" "What about gambling?" "Oh!"! "Operating director Peggy knocked on the table in front of him, and his tone has become severe! As the operating director, Peggy pays more attention to the team's revenue and expenditure finance. The team's operation and income obviously have a lot to do with the team's achievements. The good record of the season will usher in more fans and sponsorship for the team. Now, Paige thinks he needs to take action to get the team back on track!

"I disagree with your opinion!"

"What determines a team's final success in the league?"

"I think it is something that can be called [team spirit]: winning gene!"

"And how is the winning gene established?"

"It is not that winning more games can establish the winning gene, but that you never give up in every game and fight to the end!"

"Winning means knowing how you win!"

"Losing means knowing how you lose!"

"If our team's ultimate goal is just to make the playoffs, then I admit that you are right!"

"If we play badly this season, selecting an outside core next season will make it easier to make the playoffs than this season!"

"But what about after making the playoffs? Is that the end?"

"And if our team's ultimate goal is the championship, then I think it is important to forge the team spirit in the first two seasons!"

"As for choosing another core, it is not that important!"

"Because we have alreadyWith Wang Ke!"

"Don't forget, not every rookie can grow as fast as Wang Ke!"

"Do you want to wait a few more years?"

"Don't waste Wang Ke's peak period!"

"And players like Gerrard and Primoz may not be able to be tempered!"

Bernie Bickerstaff stood up, expressed his opinions, and fought back!

The quarrel in the conference room continued!

When neither side could convince the other, the choice could only be handed over to the boss!

And given the boss's neurotic characteristics, both sides were actually unwilling to let the boss make the decision!

Because the results are often random and unreasonable!

But in fact, there is no way!

Both sides are praying that the coin toss will fall on the side they choose!

...

On Christmas Eve, Wang Ke and Claudia spent a night of tenderness.

The next morning, when Claudia woke up, she found that the man next to her was gone!

"Ouch! "

Claudia sat up suddenly, and her forehead touched a sock, the sock that Santa Claus used to put gifts in.

"What's in it!"

Claudia muttered. When her forehead touched it just now, she could feel that there was a hard object inside the sock!

She reached into the sock and took it out, and then she was stunned!

Tears could not stop flowing down.

It was a ring!

"I said women are troublesome, they only know how to cry!"

"Is it really okay for you to say that about your sister?"

"She will be your family soon, so contact me less in the future!"

"Senior, sometimes I really want to beat you up! "

Wang Ke took a deep breath and knew it was his turn to come out!

Holding the flowers, Wang Ke walked in front of Claudia.

On Christmas Day, Wang Ke formally proposed!

This is Wang Ke's Christmas gift to Claudia!

Together, for a lifetime!

Both parties have no parents, and with Senior's witness, the two are considered engaged.

Senior has almost recovered.

Except for a little weakness, there are no other problems.

The wedding is tentatively scheduled for next summer, during the offseason.

In fact, the two of them living together are no different from family members!

But Wang Ke knows that Claudia needs a status and a sense of security in her heart!

Snowflakes are floating outside the window, it's snowing.

...

"It's snowing!"

In the general manager's office at the Charlotte Arena, Petty Tom also looked out the window!

On Christmas, Petty Tom is still working overtime.

"Yeah! "

Bernie Bickerstaff looked up and continued to look through the player information in his hand.

The quarrel in the meeting that lasted for nearly three days finally ended and had a result!

As expected, the neurotic boss Robert Johnson has a neurotic way of making decisions!

"Turning bad? No no no!"

"That's too tacky!"

"We will be the first team to make the playoffs right after the team was established?"

"We will cultivate the team spirit?"

"Cool! This is good!"

"It's decided!"

"Don't follow the beaten path! This is in line with my temperament! "

These are the original words of the boss Robert Johnson on the phone!

Petit Tom and Bernie Bickerstaff got the boss's [support] again, but they were not so happy at this time!

The pressure came with it!

After this big discussion, the two can basically be regarded as having issued a [military order]!

If the team makes the playoffs this season, then everything will be fine!

And if it doesn't make it, it's probably time for them to leave!

"The point guard position has a big problem!"

"Without a good organizer, sometimes it's difficult to pass the ball to Wang Ke smoothly!"

"We fought to the limit in every game before! There is no backhand and no retreat!"

"Some adjustments are needed in tactics!"

"It would be best to sign an experienced point guard veteran!"

"It's also necessary to give Wang Ke a heavier burden!"

Bernie Bickerstaff said while looking through the information.

"There is an old saying in the Dragon Country, the sword is sharpened by grinding! "

"Michael led the Bulls to the playoffs in his rookie season, and I think Wang Ke can do the same!"

"He can handle the pressure!"

"Besides, Paige and the others actually overlooked an important variable: Wang Ke's growth rate!"

"It's almost time for him to take another leap!"

Petit Tom said with a smile.

Unconsciously, Wang Ke's position in their hearts has been placed in the league's historical superstar line.Listed!

Of course, it is not to say that Wang Ke has such ability now, but he has such potential!

"When did you become interested in Dragon Country culture?"

...

On December 26, the Bobcats players ended their three-day vacation.

And as soon as they come back, they will face another away trip!

Tomorrow night, they will go to New York to challenge the Knicks!

The next morning, the Bobcats players gathered at the Charlotte Arena and got on the team bus together, ready to go to the airport!

And on the bus, Wang Ke saw an unexpected person appear!

At that moment, Wang Ke thought he was seeing flowers!

"Coach?"

Wang Ke looked at Rod Strickland who came to sit next to him!

"Now he is your teammate!"

"I didn't expect it!"

Rod Strickland said with a smile.

During the offseason, Rod Strickland has been training Wang Ke's ball control, so Wang Ke has always called him coach!

After playing 15 games for the Rockets this season, Rod Strickland was cut!

The Bobcats urgently needed an experienced point guard veteran to fill the lineup gap, so they quickly signed a contract with Rod Strickland!

"I really didn't expect it!"

Wang Ke also laughed.

It's a happy thing to meet familiar people!

"Wang!"

"I didn't see you use the things I taught you in the summer on the court!"

"It's time to use it!"

Rod Strickland patted Wang Ke on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

After being signed by the Bobcats, Rod Strickland, as the only veteran over 35 years old in the team, had full communication with head coach Bernie Bickerstaff!

Rod Strickland also made suggestions on the organizational support problems of the Bobcats!

Why not consider letting Wang Ke play the role of the core of the organization appropriately?
