Chapter 203: The Best Core (1st Update)
Howard's words were very inappropriate.
What does that mean after a team lose? Shelling teammates?
Jason Williams played a little poorly in this game, although he got 9 points and 8 assists, but he shot 4 of 16, which was very dismal, and the assists were only average.
Playing for such a long time, as the team's main point guard, this assist count is very average.
When Jason Williams heard this, his face was ugly, but he didn't say anything. Jason Williams is not a rookie and doesn't have a big temper.
As a veteran of dedication, Jason Williams just wants to win the championship with his teammates.
The Magic team is very strong this season, and Jason Williams joined because of this, so he is very smart and low-key at this time, even if he is angry in his heart, he did not say it.
Vince Carter stepped forward and patted Jason Williams on the shoulder, and before Vince Carter could speak, Williams said, "It's okay, Vince, I know what to do." ”
Jason Williams said a few words in an interview without saying anything.
The Bucks laughed on the sidelines, happy that they won.
Qin Yang was speechless and wore a mask for the interview:
"Contradictions within the Magic team? It's completely non-existent, I know Dwight, he's the kind of person who thinks you're bad today, so he just says it, maybe tomorrow he'll say you're my brother, and as for someone in particular, I think he's talking about me, and I didn't play today because of a cold, which is the main reason for the team's loss. ”
"I hope my teammates don't get mad at me because of this."
Qin Yang jokingly put aside the topic.
But after the game, many media outlets still reported the incident with sensational headlines.
"Warcraft openly bombarded his teammates, and it is suspected that he has broken up."
"Howard questioned the team's point guard prowess, and Bruce Qin was out due to injury."
"The Magic team has been replaced with the disease that can't win without Bruce Qin?"
"How important is Bruce Chin to the Magic?"
…………
The media is very undisciplined. The media wants to see what they want, so they don't care what they really want to look like.
Fortunately, there are many similar sensational headlines every season, the Magic team has banned the outside world, no one has been interviewed about this, and the matter has passed quickly.
After the plane landed in New York, the Magic players quickly arrived at the hotel.
Back in the hotel, Qin Yang immediately called Howard and walked away.
"Dwight, our goal this season is the championship, you shouldn't say that in the media?" Qin Yang said with a serious expression.
Howard was a little angry: "Dude, can I be blamed for this?" You don't see how he does it, the Bucks are no match for me on the inside, and if I give the ball to me, I can get 40 and 30 rebounds in a game. But what did he think, take me off, I played less than thirty minutes. ”
Howard said angrily.
In this game, Coach Van Gundy's approach was indeed a bit excessive.
Van Gundy is well aware of Howard's strength and treats Howard as a super blue-collar worker, which is the ultimate reason why Howard and Van Gundy do not get along.
"Dwight, I know the coach didn't give you more minutes and opportunities, but it's because I'm not on the court, Jason hasn't been able to pass you a lot of good balls, and if I'm on the court, you don't have any problem getting forty points, the Bucks are weak inside, and you can easily deal with most of the league's interior lines."
Qin Yang could only praise Howard according to his words.
Howard smiled, happy.
"But, you have to know, Dwight, you shouldn't be singles in the low post with the ball, it's a waste of time, and it's very inefficient, even though it's best to be prepared for an open dunk. Don't learn from that big shark, it's not ten years ago, and there are more and more fast breaks and three-pointers. ”
Qin Yang continued to persuade, and Howard nodded and continued to smirk.
Howard's personality is like that of a high school student, dumbfounded.
"You should apologize to Jason, Dwight." Qin Yang's heart relaxed a lot, and Dwight was stunned after listening to it: "Why?" ”
Qin Yang covered his face and said helplessly:
"Dwight, what do you mean by that? Whoever passes you less on the pitch, don't you say Jason Williams again? ”
"You know, I'm not."
"But everybody thinks that's what you think."
…………
In the evening, Qin Yang called everyone in the team for an internal meeting.
This kind of meeting, James has held many times in the Cavaliers, and has solved a lot of internal problems. It stands to reason that Howard should preside over this kind of meeting, but Howard is too stupid and a happy second fool, and he can only be done by Qin Yang.
The atmosphere in the team was not bad, and Dwight reluctantly apologized to Jason Williams at Qin Yang's request, and repeatedly stated that he was talking about Coach Van Gundy, not anyone else.
Qin Yang is face is black line.
"Okay, the opponent in the next two games is the Knicks, this is a good opponent, everyone who wants to get good data as soon as possible, I will help everyone."
"I want those thirty points."
Howard jumped out first.
Qin Yang glanced at Howard: "I'll let you get forty points." ”
After solving this matter, the atmosphere of the team is also much better, Jason Williams didn't care too much about this matter, as a veteran of the league, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he won't take it to heart, and now Howard has directly picked it out, and the team's originally dignified atmosphere has completely improved.
Back in his room, Vince Carter and Jason Williams lived in the same room.
"Jason, do you have a feeling that the core of the team and the boss are not the same person?" Vince Carter said with a smile, and Jason Williams was stunned and nodded.
If it were someone else, Jason Williams wouldn't have answered it at all, but Vince Carter was different.
The two have a lot in common, they are both veterans, they are not interested in the rights and status of the team, and they both want to win the championship, so the two laugh a lot when they say this.
"Bruce is a good core and will be a good boss."
Jason Williams thought for a moment and said.
Vince Carter shrugged: "Great minds think alike!" ”
Great minds think alike.
The next day, the team game begins.
The Knicks are a weak team that has been rebuilding and has never been surpassed since they were traded for the team flag, and there are several other similar teams, such as the Timberwolves, Bucks, etc.
As the game was about to start, Coach Van Gundy briefly laid out the team's tactics.
The team's tactics have long been practiced, and at this time it will not be brilliant at all, and the simplest tactics can be decent.
The whole team, both the coach and the players, are relaxed.
Just kidding, can it not be easy to face the Knicks.
Qin Yang originally wanted to start, but because the cold was just right and his physical fitness was a little poor, the team asked Qin Yang to come off the bench, and the starters were Howard and Rashad Lewis.
