Chapter 177 Sacrifice

"Patrick, calm down." Dan Malley, who was sitting next to Ewing, stood up immediately and grabbed Ewing.

But Ewing shook him off and reached Olajuwon in two steps.

The two of them were like bullfighting bulls with red eyes and horns.

"What the hell are you doing? Even if you can't guard Duncan, you let a rookie trick you into breaking through and scoring. Are you blind? Don't you know how to make up for it?" Ewing spat.

Today we face the Spurs at home.

Facing Duncan, Olajuwon was slow and was beaten continuously by Duncan.

In the middle, Tony Parker, the Spurs' No. 9 rookie, continuously found openings and broke through to the basket to succeed.

"Then what are you doing?" Facing the furious Ewing, Olajuwon was not afraid at all and cursed: "You are as slow as a fucking classic car, David has already beaten you. "

"Fake Squid!"

Ewing directly fisted.

When everyone around them saw him moving their fists, they hurried forward and pulled the two away.

"enough!"

Skiles stepped forward and yelled: "The game is not over yet. If you want to fight, you can do whatever you want after the game, but now, I need you to give me a focused game."

Ewing was pulled by several people, his jersey was almost torn, and he kept spitting trash at Olajuwon.

Fortunately, he was still restrained and did not rise to the level of a family member.

These old guys, they talk trash, but they never rise to the level of family members.

Olajuwon is not a good person. He is relatively withdrawn and has never had a good relationship with his teammates. He often insults his teammates. The famous thing is that your job is to dribble the ball through half the court and then give me the damn ball. It just came from his mouth.

It was towards the end of his career that his temper softened a little.

But now he got angry, broke away from Kidd and the others, and rushed towards Ewing with his fists waving.

At this moment, there was a loud crash, suppressing all the commotion.

Everyone turned around and found that it was Chen Yu with a tin trash can beside him.

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally kicked it. You continue." Chen Yu smiled and went to hold the trash can.

But there was a big dent on it, and it was obviously not as simple as kicking it.

Olajuwon clenched his fists and stopped moving.

Ewing was speechless and just stared at Olajuwon fiercely.

Chen Yu glanced at his watch, then said with a smile: "There are still 6 minutes left for halftime. If you want to fight, please hurry up."

Everyone looked at each other.

Olajuwon clenched his fists. If Skiles said this, he might go over and punch him.

But this is Chen Yu.

For Chen Yu, Olajuwon has great trust, and it is by no means as simple as a doctor who cures himself.

"Chen, you also saw it, he was the first to provoke." Olajuwon pointed at Ewing.

Ewing immediately retorted: "I'm just telling the truth. Chen, you should have seen clearly off the court that what he beat was a piece of shit."

Olajuwon was furious when he heard this and wanted to rush again.

Kidd hugged his waist tightly and was almost dragged away.

"Jason, let him go." Chen Yu pointed at Kidd, and then said: "Let them beat him. Don't worry, even if his legs are broken, I can heal them. It will be fine."

Kidd looked at Chen Yu dumbfounded, not daring to let go.

Skiles also quickly winked at Chen Yu. He knew that the players in the team trusted Chen Yu far more than he did, especially players such as Hardaway who had been treated by Chen Yu. They didn't just obey Chen Yu's words. , not much worse.

He was still thinking of asking Chen Yu to persuade the two of them, but it would be better to just fight with each other directly.

At this time, Chen Yu turned around, pulled over a whiteboard with tactics drawn on it, then picked up a pen and quickly drew a silhouette on it.

"What is this?" Chen Yu turned around and asked.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Anfernee, what is this?" Chen Yu knocked on the whiteboard and looked at Hardaway.

"Trophy?"

Hadaway said tentatively that he could see it, but I have to say that what Chen Yu painted was really ugly.

Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, this is the trophy, the O'Brien Championship Trophy. I want you to see what it looks like, and I also hope you can think about why it is here."

After saying that, he waved to Scales and the others and motioned them to go out.

Scales hesitated and followed.

The coaching staff, medical staff, and staff such as the equipment manager all followed him out of the locker room.

As soon as the door closed, Scales immediately said: "Chen, they won't really fight."

It's not a good thing to spread the word.

"I don't know." Chen Yu shook his head. The conflict had broken out. This was actually a good thing.

Skiles sighed and said thank you to Chen Yu.

It stands to reason that when players have conflicts, he, the head coach, should be responsible for mediating.

But what happened just now was so sudden that Scales didn't think of how to deal with it for a while. Fortunately, it was Chen Yu who didn't start a fight on the spot.

"Chen, they trust you very much. I hope you can have a good chat with them." Skiles said again.

The players on the team basically trust Chen Yu, and Chen Yu is a member of the uniform team and has the responsibility to help deal with internal conflicts.

Chen Yu nodded and looked towards the locker room door.

The soundproofing is so good that I don't even know what's going on inside.    I hope there won't be a fight.

But don't think about it. At the beginning of the season, the two of them could solve the problem of who should start, which shows that the two of them are willing to make any sacrifices for the championship.

Just remind them what the goal is, and two mature veterans should know what to do.

And thinking about it now, it is much better for the problem to be exposed now than to be exposed again after entering the playoffs.

Minutes flew by.

Seeing that halftime was coming, Scales was about to open the door and call someone, but the door suddenly opened.

Ewing took the lead and walked out.

Everyone followed behind.

Olajuwon followed suit and walked directly to the court without saying a word.

Chen Yu grabbed Hardaway.

"They didn't start fighting. They just kept looking at each other and didn't know what they were thinking." Hardaway said with a wry smile.

Chen Yu nodded and patted Hardaway on the back, telling him to concentrate on the game.

Everyone's reaction made Skiles feel uneasy. He looked at Chen Yu and asked, "That's it?"

Don't ask, don't do anything?

Chen Yu nodded: "Let's finish the game first and then talk."

Skiles sighed and walked onto the court.

At the end of the first half, the Suns were 42 to 49, trailing by 7 points.

The problem still lies inside.

Ewing and Olajuwon had almost no cooperation. Popovich, who was as cunning as a fox on the opposite side, had obviously heard some rumors and knew that there was a problem with the cooperation between Ewing and Olajuwon, so he took targeted measures in this game. Arrangement, constantly let the outside line look for opportunities to break through the inside line.

The No. 9 pick they drafted at the end of the first round this year is fast and knows the space very well.

Chen Yu still sat with Nelson.

Nelson held his chin in his hand, staring worriedly at Ewing and Olajuwon on the court, and said, "Chen, are you really going to just ignore it?"

In the first half of the season, Nelson always felt that the Suns were pretty good.

The lineup is reasonable, the team atmosphere is harmonious, and the record is good. Everything is thriving and getting better.

But he didn't expect that such a conflict would break out with a small position adjustment.

After so many years in the NBA, Nelson knows very well that many times the disintegration of a team begins with internal conflicts.

Chen Yu nodded: "After much thought, the best way to deal with it is to just ignore it. They are veterans with clear goals. They know why they came to the sun, and they are even willing to make sacrifices."

Ewing's basic salary and Olajuwon's acceptance of the mid-level exception, and at such an age, they work so hard in training and execute meticulously, which is enough to show that they are willing to sacrifice everything for the championship.

"As long as they understand this, I think all problems can be solved."

And in Chen Yu's view, this is an opportunity, not only for Olajuwon and Ewing to understand that for the sake of the championship, they can sacrifice each other and should cooperate with each other. It also makes other veterans in the team understand that even stars of Olajuwon and Ewing's level can sacrifice themselves, so they also need to work hard and sacrifice for the championship.

It's really not a bad thing for the team.

Just as he was talking, Brian quietly sat down next to Chen Yu.

It was obvious that he had gotten the message.

"I have blocked the news, but there will be no problem with the two of them." Brian frowned and looked at the field.

If the conflict cannot be resolved, the final result will be that two people leave one for the sake of peace in the locker room.

Chen Yu said nothing and looked at the court intently.

There seem to be some changes.

Both Olajuwon and Ewing have become more active.

Not long after the start of the third quarter, Olajuwon moved laterally as if anticipating the enemy's opportunity, blocking Parker who was going around in a circle and heading inside.

Being experienced, he stood firm and gave Parker a big shot.

"Be careful."

After hating Parker, Olajuwon yelled at Ewing and pointed at his eyes.

Ewing had a dark face and said nothing.

But in the next round, he caught the ball in the low post, pushed away David Robinson, and scored with force. After scoring, he clenched his fists and yelled at Olajuwon.

This made Robinson look confused. He thought to himself, "You scored a goal on my head. What did you yell at your teammates?"

Olajuwon curled his lips, turned and ran away.

"No way." Brian's eyebrows twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan", and the two of them were obviously at loggerheads.

Chen Yu shook his head: "No, I think this is good. When two people don't agree with the other, then compete first, and then understand that competition alone is not enough, cooperation is also needed."

"Are you sure?" Brian looked at Chen Yu suspiciously.

Chen Yu shrugged and said again, just give it a try.

For the team, the fastest result is to choose one of the two and let one person sit on the bench.

It's not like Gugliotta, which is too big to lose, and there's nothing you can do about it.

"Ok."

Brian sighed and said no more.

Fortunately, there were no problems with Hardaway and Kidd.

Compared to Olajuwon and Ewing, how far the Suns can go this year depends on Hardaway and Kidd.
