The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

It is very common for stars to play big names in the NBA, and it has even become an unspoken rule. Sometimes team owners have to coax their own team's leading stars with three-pointers.

But the premise of playing a big name is that your own strength has reached the point where the boss can bear it. For example, Shaquille O’Neal, who will go to the Lakers in the future, when he played with Kobe, he would just be lazy and like to be the boss.

For example, Jordan, now when the general salary of stars is only a few million, he dared to take the 30 million sky-high contract offered by the Bulls. Such things are not uncommon.

But among all the stars who can play big names, Derek Coleman is definitely not included, even if he is the No. Still 20+, he is currently the league's most favorite power forward.

But his current achievements are not enough for him to play big names like Jordan and O'Neal, even if he has one or that kind of problem, there are still many teams optimistic about him, otherwise he would not be sent away by the previous team and come to 76 People can still get the highest salary.

In particular, it is even more unforgivable that he plays big names and does not abide by the team's training rules. When he is injured, he drinks too much to make his body fat and his strength decline.

In the eyes of Yang Dongxu, such a player is simply rat shit, and he is also a powerful rat shit. Keeping him in the team is simply bringing bad rookies and destroying the foundation of the 76ers.

So after all the players had a night of carnival, after the players realized that his new boss was very generous, he showed his hard side.

A boss who doesn't care about the team's performance, if you dare to blow up your hair, will just let you sit on the bench, even if you get the highest salary for nothing, let all the players feel that this seemingly friendly boss is not easy to mess with.

Derek Coleman was pressed next to the drinking fountain for three consecutive games. Even if the team lost, the team doctor thought he could play, but the coach still ignored his existence.

At the beginning Derek was very upset. He felt that the boss who felt good before was an asshole, and the coach was also a stinky shit. He always kept himself training and training all day long. Those things that you can do by yourself, why do you have to train so tiringly?

So when the 76ers lost after he was not allowed to play, although he had no expression on the surface, he was very proud in his heart. So what if I'm lazy, the 76ers can't win without myself.

But when the 76ers lost 4 or 5 games and he was still proud, when the 76ers lost more than ten games and he still didn't have a chance to play, he began to panic.

It's not that he cared about the performance of the 76ers and blocked himself like this. Even if the 76ers rot into stinky shit, he won't care. He was worried about his worth.

Although sometimes the value of a star can't just look at the data, but you have to admit that sometimes the data is one of the rigid standards for measuring the value of a star.

He didn't even have a chance to play, how could he brush up his statistics? How can he improve or stabilize his worth without data? What's more frightening is that the team owner intends to press him to death until the contract expires.

That's right, the 76ers didn't let Derrick Coleman play, and they didn't release news that they wanted to trade him. It's completely like the owner of a player who guards the drinking fountain is rich and willful for $8 million.

So at the beginning, I didn't play, I didn't train, I drank every day and got a high salary, Derek felt very happy, but after a period of time, such a happy life passed. But not as happy as imagined, but more and more flustered.

"Is this the end of the matter? If it goes on like this, he might really be useless." Today, for the first time, Derek came to the training ground on time and asked for training. Larry Brown called Yang Dongxu.

After such a long period of indulgence, Derek's body is even fatter, and his current figure at 2.08 meters looks even more exaggerated than the big-ass O'Neill.

As a coach who puts defense first and sticks to tradition, seeing such a traditional big center with high-quality talent that makes people envy and hate turn into garbage in his own hands, not only Derek is feeling a little tormented now, but also in his heart. Also very tormented.

"After losing so many games, we definitely have no chance to make the playoffs this year. Since we can't make it to the playoffs, is there any difference between losing 1 game in the regular season and losing 10 games in the regular season? Keep pressing him, let him train when he comes to train , In short, just don’t let him play. Tell Buck to release the news that Derek is a non-trade player of the 76ers, and no one will agree to trade even if it is a high price.”

"But if this is the case, it will make other players feel insecure." Larry Brown still wants to fight for it.

After all, he felt that it would be better to accept it as soon as he saw it. Otherwise, Derek, who had no self-discipline, might really degenerate completely after this period of fear and fear.

"Since you have done it, you must do it thoroughly. For other players, you and Buck should do more mental work. If you can accept it, you can accept it. If you can't accept it, you can leave except for Iverson." Yang Dongxu snorted coldly, and there was nothing negotiable in his tone mean.

But after being tough, he pondered for a moment and said: "If he really wants to play now, it's not like he doesn't have a chance. Let him train first, and then talk about playing after all the training has met the team's requirements. But I can't guarantee that Let him play."

"Understood." Larry Brown sighed and walked out of the office towards the training ground.

Seeing Derek, who was much more active than before on the training ground, he beckoned.

"What's the matter, coach, can I play?" Derek looked at Larry Brown expectantly. Team rules that don't catch a cold are fine.

"The boss wants you to train first, and he has not agreed to play for the time being, but I helped you fight for it." Larry Brown said.

"Shit, this is for the hateful Chinese people, I'm going to the federal government to sue him." Derek growled, he was very angry at this time. He even said that he was subdued, and it was too much for the other party to not let him go.

"I advise you to think carefully about this matter. If he really holds on to your contract and refuses to let you play, your career may end early.

Even if the contract expires and the team still wants you, how much salary do you think you can get if you have not played for so long and your physical fitness may be worse than now? "Larry Brown scolded, frowning.

"I" an angry Derek paused.

Although he is not self-disciplined and likes to be lazy, it does not mean that he is not smart enough. Now that Yang Dongxu has made it clear that even if he spends money, he will support him for nothing, so he really needs to think about his future.

Having enjoyed a high-quality life, he absolutely does not want to return to the poor and poor life of the past. And the biggest source of income to guarantee his lazy life is playing ball. If he can't play, although his salary will be a lot, he will definitely not have an endorsement contract, and his income will drop a lot in an instant.

"Our boss is not short of money, at least he can do it if he pays you for nothing. But you can't afford to bet, and even if this matter gets out, the impact on him is far less than that on you.

An owner who spends money to buy players to play requires players to abide by the minimum team rules, which makes sense in the entire league. But a player was raised for nothing because he didn't abide by the team's rules. Believe me, Derek will definitely become a clown if the news spreads. "

"But now the rumors are flying all over the sky." Derek roared, but this kind of roar was obviously a strong outsider, and he didn't walk away immediately. He didn't even realize that he had already compromised.

"No, no, no, those rumors are nothing now. Injuries, training rookies to reduce the playing time of veterans, and the team's top management want to continue to play badly to get draft picks. In short, there are too many reasons to explain this matter. Trust me Derek As long as you're playing, it's not going to do you any harm at all."

"But he won't let me play now." Derek complained, his voice at least a few degrees lower than the previous growl.

"No, no, you have to understand that boss Derek is not saying that you must not be allowed to play, but that your previous performance has disappointed the new boss.

But there is no team owner who doesn't want to make money, or likes to use his own money for nothing. So Derek you better step up your training now. Let your state return to its peak as soon as possible, and then I will give you a chance to go shopping. "

"You can really call the shots?" Derek looked at Larry Brown suspiciously.

"I will do my best to fight for you. You don't have to choose now, do you? Besides, the training restores your state, and even makes you better than before. This is also for your own good.

If you are better, you will definitely be favored by other teams. If your current salary can be doubled, do you think the new boss who doesn’t like you thinks it’s better to spend 8 million to keep you for nothing, or sell you for 16 million? Is it more beneficial to go out? "

"This." Derek's face became hesitant.

This is indeed a way to get rid of this stinky shit boss, but how can he let others see that he has become better if he can't play.

"Stronger body, more accurate shooting, even if the boss doesn't agree with you to play, don't there still be players warming up before the start of each game? At that time, there were many reporters and the opponent team watching.

Let you warm up and not play, I think I still have the right. And don't forget that there are scouts in addition to statistics. If you are really good enough to shine, I believe scouts are not blind, and you will always get a contract that suits your worth. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you, how do you train in the future?" In terms of career, or the choice of whether to eat dirt or meat in the future, eating meat temporarily defeated Derek's laziness.

"I will discuss with the assistant coach and the team doctor and come up with the most suitable training plan as soon as possible. Believe me, Derek, even if the boss doesn't like you, as long as you follow the team rules and strengthen your training, you will definitely have market opportunities.

After all, the owner of the team can make more money if the team wins. No one in this world will have trouble with money, right? Larry Brown heaved a sigh of relief and showed great joy. Originally, he was afraid that the boss, who was too tough, would let it go if he pressed so hard. Who would have thought that Derek, who really pressed him, would give in.

"Our boss may be different. His family may be a gold mine, so he doesn't care about money." Derek said strange things coldly.

Larry Brown pretended not to hear this, and took Derek to the team doctor for a detailed examination, and then called the assistant coach to discuss his recovery training plan.

And taking advantage of this period of recuperating from the field, Derek can make up for his shortcomings, and at the same time, he has to hone what he was good at to become even better at it. In short, we should take advantage of the time when the laziness is temporarily cured, and let Derek practice well.

In the following period of time, Larry Brown admired himself as the new boss even more. Because the mood of the entire team changed suddenly. After all, even Derek, who was paid the maximum salary, gave in, and the boss had an attitude of killing you if he took money for nothing. That player is not afraid and has no sense of crisis? Who dares to dabble in foreign labor?

In this way, although the team ushered in another three-game losing streak in the next period of time, the team's style continued to change quietly. Even if Derek still didn't play, it was no longer as easy for other teams to win them as before.

In this way, under the premise of finally establishing his prestige in the team, Yang Dongxu walked into the team's training hall with two Chinese medicine doctors when he arrived in early 1998.
