NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 56 Ewing's Law?

"Teacher's List" said that the first emperor collapsed in the middle of his career, and Lu Yuanzhi's plan to play garbage time to seize the main player's playing time was also interrupted by two consecutive losses.

The Kings were at home and lost to the weak Suns and Timberwolves one after another.

There is a famous law in the NBA called "Ewing's Law". The team leader comes back, but the team loses one after another.

But to be honest, Weber really doesn't have to take the blame for these two losses. He scored 21 points and 25 points respectively in the two games, with a shooting rate of about 50%. No matter how much the blame is shared, he can't be blamed.

In the game against the Suns, the main players of the Suns performed normally, but two unknown role players suddenly appeared on the bench and scored 40 points together, directly defeating the Kings.

In the game against the Timberwolves, Szczerbiak and Brandon also played exceptionally well, scoring 42 points together. With Garnett's 29 points, the Kings stole a rare victory at home.

Adelman once again resorted to a 7-player rotation, and even Webber, who had just returned from injury, played nearly 40 minutes, while only Bobby Jackson and Pollard got playing time off the bench.

Lu Yuanzhi's worries became reality.

Now I just hope that what I said at the press conference last time can give the media bullets and play a role, and the overwhelming criticism can make Adelman know his way back.

Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu sat off the court, and the audience was forgotten by Adelman.

The two brothers looked at each other in dismay. In such an intense battle, the two main rotation players, one offensive and one defensive, did not get any playing time.

No, that plan has to be changed again, otherwise I won’t even be able to play. How will the follow-up plan be implemented?
Lu Yuanzhi was thinking about "Plan" 3.0 again.

"Let's have a drink tonight?" After the game, Lu Yuanzhi invited Turkoglu beside him.

Whether it is the 2.0 plan or the 3.0 plan, Turkoglu is a very important part, and another important part is Bobby Jackson.

With the help of Lu Yuanzhi, Turkoglu received an endorsement contract from a domestic game company. The specific details are still being negotiated, but he does not object to Lu Yuanzhi who can help him make a small amount of money.

On the other hand, Bobby Jackson also happily accepted Lu Yuanzhi's invitation. He was more familiar with Lu Yuanzhi, and with the help of Lu Yuanzhi, he had already received an endorsement contract for a certain domestic sports drink.

Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson accepted Lu Yuanzhi's invitation not only because of commercial endorsements, but more importantly, Lu Yuanzhi's level is also soaring, and he is also playing an increasingly important role in the team .

There are so many twists and turns in the world of adults, but the word "interest" cannot be escaped.

In Lu Yuanzhi's apartment, after the three of them had a drink happily, Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu exchanged glances with each other, and then looked at Lu Yuanzhi together, wondering who had called them over this time. What a statement.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Lu Yuanzhi didn't beat around the bush, "Bobby, Xido, what do you think of your playing time?"

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu froze for a moment, today's theme is playing time?

What's the use of the three of us discussing this kind of thing here?

Isn’t it the coaching staff that has the final say?
Seeing the confused expressions of the two, Lu Yuanzhi continued, "Bobby, we all know that you won the Best Sixth Man last season. Do you think you still have hope this season?"

Last season, although Bobby Jackson was a substitute, he played nearly 30 minutes. This is the main reason why he scored 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.2 steals.

But because this season, rookies continue to emerge, just Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu who are present here have seized a lot of playing time, his playing time has dropped below 20 minutes, and his scoring is only about 10 points.

With such results, it is naturally impossible to defend the "Best Sixth Man" title.

Bobby Jackson knew this situation well, glanced at Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu with a strange expression, and then shook his head.

Lu Yuanzhi turned to Turkoglu again and said, "Hido, you sat off the court with me today and didn't get even one minute of playing time. Are you willing to do that?"

willing?How could it be reconciled?

Turkoglu feels that on the offensive end, he can fire from outside the three-point line, break into the basket, and have good organizational skills. He has long been spying on Stojakovic's main position.

But Stojakovic was supported by Adelman to the main position against all opinions, and his previous performance has been good, averaging more than 20 points per game, becoming the team's second firepower.

It will probably be a little more difficult to squeeze Stojakovic out of the main lineup than saving the earth.

Turkoglu smiled wryly, and also shook his head.

Lu Yuanzhi seemed to be talking to himself again, "I also want to get more playing time, but today you also saw that I have been sitting on the sidelines and haven't gotten a second of playing time. If this continues, how can I get more playing time next year?" What about the big contract?"

Everyone knew about Lu Yuanzhi's basic salary contract at the last gathering. Next year is his contract year, so he naturally wants to sign a big contract.

Although Lu Yuanzhi can get a lot of commercial contracts with the help of the domestic market behind him, but in the NBA, if you get a small contract, you can't even speak loudly, and you don't have the right to veto transactions. .

Don't you see a 38-year-old man who shouted to win the championship, but refused to let go of the maximum salary contract in his hand, resulting in the team's salary space being limited, and his teammates were all CBA except thick eyebrows?
Brothers, now that you are anti-imperialist and anti-feudal, you should not be washed away!

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu looked at each other. Although the three of them were in different positions, the interesting thing was that they were indeed the main competitors competing for playing time.

Since everyone is a competitor, why are you complaining about playing time to us?
After all, Bobby Jackson and Lu Yuanzhi have been sleeping in the same room for a long time, and he opened the mouth first, "Max, what do you want to express? Let me be honest, there are only so many minutes for substitutes, and we are potential players." competitors, I will not let you go."

Turkoglu seems to agree very much with what Bobby Jackson said. He also swings at the third and fourth positions, but he plays more at the third position and is in direct competition with Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi had expected the reaction of Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu, "Do you remember the Magic game a few days ago? We all got a lot of playing time."

In that game, Bobby Jackson got a rare 30 minutes of playing time and scored 20 points. It was the happiest game he played recently.

Turkoglu also played nearly 20 minutes and scored 12 points. He was also very satisfied with that game.

Seeing both of them smiling, Lu Yuanzhi continued, "So, did you find any difference between that game and today's game?"

different?Of course it is different!

In the Magic game, the game entered garbage time early. The main players were too embarrassed to return to the court, so the playing time was naturally divided between the three of them.

But today, the game has been tense, and Adelman's stubborn temper has been violated again. He played a 7-man rotation and relied on the main force. Even Bobby Jackson, who was the main rotation player, only played more than 20 minutes.

There is no comparison between the two!

Ok?
Could it be that Lu Yuanzhi wanted to. . .

PS: I didn’t pay attention yesterday. I posted a picture of the rookie Pele’s internet celebrity mother, but it was banned by the system for 7 days. The next picture is yours. (cover face)
