In the NBA, when the team achieves good results, it is normal for the boss to invite the management, coaching staff and players to have a meal. For example, Lakers owner Buss often invites Phil Jackson or Kobe Bryant to have a meal together. Have dinner.
So it is normal for Bill Davidson to entertain the heroes who won the championship. However, after this banquet, a shocking news suddenly came out from within the Pistons - Rick Carlisle will leave the Pistons!
Wang Dalin called Carlisle as soon as he heard about it. Carlisle's tone on the phone seemed very relaxed: "Yes, Darling, the news you heard is true. I have indeed been fired!"
Wang Dalin asked hurriedly: "What's going on? You led us to win the championship for consecutive years. No one can do it better than you Why do they want to fire you?"
Carlisle smiled and said: "Darling, I can only tell youthe boss is dissatisfied with me, it's that simple!"
Wang Dalin was so anxious that he cursed: "What the hell! Why should he be dissatisfied with you? We have been the championship in the past two seasons, and no team can compete with us. What else does he want? No. , I have to ask clearly!"
Carlisle said lightly: "I advise you not to do this kind of thing, because you can't change anything if you ask. I'm determined to leave It just so happens that I've been very tired in the past two years, and I really want to take a good rest. !¡±
Wang Dalin ignored him, hung up the phone, changed his clothes and drove to the team headquarters office.
He rushed straight into Joe Dumas's office without even knocking on the door.
"Qiao, I think you should give me an explanationwhat's going on?" Wang Dalin sat down on the sofa and asked this sentence with a solemn expression.
Dumas saw someone suddenly breaking into his office. He was about to get angry but saw that the person was Wang Dalin, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Darling, this mattersighit's really hard for me to follow." Please make it clear!"
Wang Dalin squinted his eyes and said, "It was you and Rick who brought me to Detroit. Now that Rick is leaving, shouldn't I know the specific reason?"
Dumas sighed again and said: "I knew you would get to the bottom of it, but this matter really has nothing to do with you. It's Rick He has offended many team managers, and they are eager to take action immediately. He drove them away, and of course these people did not include me!"
He paused for a moment and then continued: "You know, I have always admired Rick. He is the best head coach in this league. Without him, we would never have won the championship for two consecutive years! He is the Pistons' A hero of the team, I certainly don¡¯t want him to leave us!¡±
Wang Dalin thought for a moment and asked: "Rick saidit's because the boss doesn't like him, is that right?"
Dumas smiled bitterly: "The most important reason is this Sigh! You know, Rick's temper has always been bad and tough. I have tried to persuade him many times, but he never listened to me ¡The boss has already spoken and must let him leave, but there is nothing I can do!¡±
Wang Dalin almost blurted out: "What if I say the team must keep him? Will the boss consider my opinion?"
Although Wang Dalin was just a happy fat man in his previous life, he still read many articles about NBA stars on the Internet. The status of many leading stars in the team is not limited to the court. Some of them can even compete with the boss. Equal dialoguesuch as Jordan in the past, and Kobe and James in later generations.
He didn't say this without thinking His progress in the past two seasons is obvious to all, especially in the season that just ended. Even if he made a big move and called himself "the first man in the league", it is estimated that Many people agree.
If he insists on keeping Carlisle to owner Bill Davidson, I'm afraid the Pistons boss will have to carefully consider his opinion.
In the previous life, I heard that a certain star "forced" the team, which caused a very bad impact, so Wang Dalin didn't want to be such a person, but if it was to keep Carlisle I don't think he would have to "force once" "Palace".
Fortunately, his behavior is quite legitimate, and even if it is exposed by the media in the future, it will be nothing. At least it is much more noble than those stars who blackmail the team to provide themselves with a big contract.
Maybe there will be many people giving him a thumbs up Although the NBA has always been called a cold and cruel business league, where everything is just business, people generally still admire good men who value love and justice, no matter what It's the same everywhere.
Hearing what Wang Dalin said, Dumas looked surprised and then asked: "Darling, are you serious?"??eyes said.
"Darling I messed up!" Dumas' voice was trembling a little, "The boss is very determined. Even if you want to leave the team, he will definitely drive Rick away!"
Wang Dalin raised the backrest of the seat and asked in confusion: "It's not like they don't have any deep hatred, why are they so incompatible?"
Dumas smiled bitterly and said: "Now it's not just him and Rick who are at odds with each other! Darling, your actions have obviously angered him. Just now, he has clearly given me an order You must be included in the list today." Get on the trading list!¡±
Wang Dalin was even more shocked and angry now: "Is he crazy?"
¡°It¡¯s no wonder he was so gaffe-like. Davidson¡¯s attitude was so unbelievable that it was completely beyond his understanding.
It is true that Carlisle does have his bad side, especially that he is stubborn, arrogant and extremely controlling. Even in today's Pistons team, young players such as Boozer and Okur are afraid of him. McGinnis, who joined the team early, also disliked him.
In the original time and space, if it weren't for his bad temper, maybe he wouldn't be dismissed from the Pistons and could win the championship many years in advance.
Even after he successfully led the Mavericks to the top, his relationship with some players was not harmonious. He once trash-talked Kidd. Fortunately, Kidd was an old man in his thirties at the time and knew how to tolerate and tact. , so the two of them got along well.
At that time, the young and energetic Rajon Rondo couldn't stand his bad temper. The conflict between the two intensified, and Carlisle directly hid him Even though he had left the Mavericks for many years, Rondo still hated Carlisle.
Carlisle led the Pistons out of the trough, and his record for two consecutive seasons was obvious to all. However, he was fired by owner Bill Davidson because of his bad temper. Larry Brown, who succeeded him, really picked the cake Just the Pistons' lineup at that time , if Carlisle continues to lead the team, won't he be able to win the championship?
Wang Dalin knows all these things, but it has nothing to do with him, because no matter what, Carlisle is both a teacher and a friend to him, and it is definitely worthy of his standing up to protect him.
What he couldn¡¯t believe was that Bill Davidson would rather send him away than fire Carlisle. This is simply crazy!
You must know that Wang Dalin is only 21 years old this year. He is the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history, and he has also won FMVP for two consecutive years. Such a supernova with superior strength and unlimited potential He actually gave up just because he said he gave up?
"Does he have shit in his head?" - Not to mention, that's what Wang Dalin was really thinking at the moment!
¡¡
That night, Wang Dalin had just finished taking a shower and before he could lie down on the bed, a call came from his agent Jeff Schwartz.
"Darling, what happened? Why did the Pistons put you on the shelf?"
Wang Dalin could tell through the phone that Schwartz was extremely surprised, and there was a bit of anger in his tone.
"How do I know what old man Bill Davidson thinks?" Wang Dalin said angrily, "He wanted to fire Coach Carlisle. I went to him and said a few words, and then he hated me too!"
Schwartz exclaimed: "Is there water in his head?"
Wang Dalin pretended to smile relaxedly and said: "Maybe it's really water!"
Schwartz paused and continued: "Okay, let's not talk about these useless things! Because the incident happened suddenly, the current situation is very complicated, but as far as I know, there are already Lakers, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Knicks The Pistons, Clippers and many other teams have made offers to the Pistons!¡±
"Oh?" Wang Dalin became interested immediately after hearing this, "Tell me quickly, what price did they offer?"
"The Lakers' offer is that except for Shaq, the Pistons can choose anyone else, even Kobe!"
"Heythis is a big dealwhere are the other teams?"
"Except for Tim, the Spurs pick randomly, which is similar to the Lakers! The other teams pick randomly, and no one on the team is not for sale!"
"Haha didn't James Dolan publicly say last year that Alan Houston was not for sale to the Knicks? Do you think he was slapping himself in the face?"
"Stop laughing, now I want to ask your opinionWhich team do you want to go to?"
"It doesn't seem like it's up to me to decide, right? Since old man Bill insists on sending me away, can he still follow my wishes?"
"Darling, his purpose is nothing more than to send you away, and then get the maximum value back to the Pistons. As for which team your next home will beit's up to Joe to decide!"
¡°I can¡¯t decide which team I want to go to right now. Let¡¯s wait until all teams have made their bids and then I¡¯ll contact you to help me analyze it, okay?¡±
"Well, don't worry, I will fly to Detroit tomorrow. It seems that I have to have a good talk with Joe!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and finally sighed and murmured: "Oh, it seems that we are really leaving!"
