Chapter 367 Unlocking the Position: Li Xia'ao on Top?
"It's no longer possible. The Mavericks still can't get up this season. I admit Lee's strength, but... this offseason's transaction didn't leave him any financial resources. Look at Smith and Jones. Let them play the main starting lineup. It's simply... Expose weaknesses.”
"Magic? The Magic can only rank in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference. Judging from the performance of our Mavericks today, the playoffs are probably on the line. It's ridiculous that Motta said that the new lineup will play in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals. Isn't this a joke? !”
"No, don't underestimate the Magic. Just because they were middling last season doesn't mean they will be the same this season. And our team... is already very strong compared to the previous lineup. It still takes time to achieve results. We can't be too harsh! "
"Harsh? The Mavericks' record has already approached the bottom line of my tolerance. How else can I be harsh?"
"Yes, the offseason trade took so much advantage, but the result is not what the team management said! If you don't strengthen the inside and the strong forward, can you please stop ruining Li."
The game at this time has come to an end. The Mavericks' 5-point deficit will always be like a carrot dangled in front of the donkey, which can never be caught up or eaten. The home fans seem a little disappointed. After all, everyone leaves with high hopes before the game starts. Come in.
It's not that Li Shengli isn't strong enough, it's because the Mavericks don't have any financial resources!
Throughout this game, Li Shengli, Curry, Crotty, and even David Wingate, who appeared in the second half of the final quarter, were the ones supporting the scene, but there was no original member of the Mavericks. All they found were dried salted fish in skewers.
What can you say about this?
The first game was full of confidence, but big problems were exposed!
The next opponent, who doesn't know that your third and fourth positions are your weak point? If you don't stab you twice, you will be sorry for having a pair of eyes!
…
The game is over.
In the last round and the last ball, O'Neal singled out Li Shengli and was pinned to the edge of the penalty area, unable to move. However, the Magic's locked 5-point difference was enough, so he simply didn't bother to move and ran out of time.
"Hardaway, feel comfortable, I feel comfortable, how about you!"
"I feel comfortable too. If I can kill Li, we will strive for the championship this season!"
O'Neal and Hardaway sang along, looking like a 'villain who succeeds'. This was not to provoke Li Shengli, but to bully Li Shengli without any help, which gave them a very perverted pleasure, especially O'Neal... It was Li Shengli who suppressed him before. , now it was finally his turn to turn over and take the initiative, reaching Li Gaiao's position.
"Go, go, go!" Li Shengli scolded the two shameless people with a livid face.
"Oh God, don't be angry, it's not your fault!"
"Hardaway, run quickly. If this guy hits you, I won't help you!" O'Neal choked Hardaway and was about to run. Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Li Shengli, "By the way, Li, this You have to be the second male lead for me once the season is over, and don’t forget about filming a movie!”
…
I’ll take a picture of you, uncle!
Seeing O'Neal playing tricks, Li Shengli felt so depressed that he turned around and left the game. He went to the bathroom with Curry and Crotty, and then returned to the locker room. At this time, the atmosphere in the Mavericks locker room was too depressing. No one wanted to talk.
Kidd was already very aggrieved. The team lost the game, and he felt that he had to take responsibility.
It's not that Smith and Jones didn't want to say it, but they didn't dare to say it, because they looked at everyone as if they were blaming themselves. If they spoke, they would have to take the blame, and it would be wisest not to speak.
As for Curry and Crotty, the two brothers focused on Li Shengli. Li Shengli didn't speak, and they were too lazy to say anything. After all, the only person in the locker room who was most qualified to speak was Li Shengli.
…
boom!
The locker room door was suddenly pushed open.
Head coach Dick Motta, who had hurried back to start the locker room meeting after the game, broke the silence with a roar.
"Asshole, bastard, Smith, what on earth were you doing in the few quarters you played?" Dick Motta couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "You can't attack offensively, you can't suppress your opponent defensively, and you can't even grab a rebound. If you can help me fight the counterattack, what's the use of you if I ride on my horse?"
Is it Smith?
Jones' tense nerves relaxed a little, because Motta's firepower was not with him, and Smith, who was sprayed bloody, could not say anything back.
"Jones, don't be so happy. Do you need me to talk about those low-level mistakes?" Motta couldn't hold back his anger when he saw Jones. "You didn't have a chance before, but now I give you a chance. What can you give me?" What report card is coming up?”
"And you, Kidd!"
"Your performance really disappointed me and disappointed the fans. To be honest, I now suspect that the management has a problem with the draft operation. I even suspect that we wasted a precious draft pick!" Motta went overboard. , "Go and look at Grant Hill behind you. In his debut yesterday, he scored 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. Look at you again, are you worth the second pick?"
Did this Mota explode?
Why do you say everything?
Curry glanced at Li Shengli, and Li Shengli... Even if Mota didn't direct the conversation to his three brothers, the venomous tone in his words still made him very uncomfortable.
People are different. Li Shengli admits this. As a head coach, he should have his own style, but Motta and Sloan have different tempers.
It's true that the coach is strict, but you have to figure out the scale, right?
Leaving aside Jones and Smith, Motta may have meant to 'provoke' Kidd's remarks, but this was too irritating. What do you want Kidd to think? ! Damn it, if you just complain after losing a game, how can you win all the next 81 games? Wouldn’t it mean that you have to complain even more?
However, the words did not reach his own head, and Li Shengli was too lazy to speak. After all, his growth in the past two seasons was not only on the court. There was no reason to become a head coach. However, Motta, the head coach, was a bit over the top, and the conversation turned to Kroc. on pedicle.
"And you, Crotty, I don't care how you played before. Now in the Mavericks, I am the head coach, not Jerry Sloan. This game... as long as you can score more goals, You know it won’t turn out like this!”
In Motta's view, Crotty also has to take the blame for this defeat, but... Crotty's shooting is indeed problematic, but this was known to everyone in the Jazz era, and his role is not only Offensively, even if Motta wants Crotty to improve his shooting, can you see how Crotty plays defense against Hardaway?
Li Shengli is not a virgin bitch, and there is no reason for him to be so great as to stand up for a teammate he has just known for a few days. But when it comes to Crotty, this is not the same thing. Even if Crotty does have a problem, no one can just step on the horse. Talk about bad things and look down on those!
…
"Let's adjourn, you've talked a bit too much today!" Li Shengli said with a cold face. His words silenced the entire locker room. At this moment, it was not only Curry, but also Kidd and the two brothers Smith and Jones who had just been sprayed. They were all stunned.
Done!
This is going to happen if you step on a horse!
Boss Li wants to be the head coach? If this spreads out, everyone in the league will laugh at it. Although they find it incredible, in fact, everyone present will feel... very happy.
What are the three things a new official should do when he takes office?
It's not good for you, the new head coach, to burn anyone, so why don't you burn Li Shengli's younger brother?
There is one thing to say. The biggest impact of these words must be on Mota. It would be a lie to say that he is not angry. After all, his words about dismissing the meeting are just a naked slap in his face. For whatever reason, he doesn't want to know now, but he doesn't care about himself. He was considering it, and Li Shengli's statement... made his first reaction be that something went wrong!
Are you trying to rape me?
The head coach has great power, that’s right!
But he asked himself, it was impossible to put Li Shengli on the bench and prevent him from playing. If he really wanted to do this, he would be mentally retarded. It is estimated that the management could take him out. Dismissal of get out of class or unemployment are all possible options.
Fortunately, Li Shengli's reaction was not that intense. Mota's strong desire to survive made him take over the conversation and said, "Okay, I said a bit too much, but you know yourselves that our team wants to achieve results. No one can relax, in fact I say this to... inspire you!"
…
Inspire us?
I am riding a horse to inspire your whole family!
The players present cursed in their hearts. After all, they are also human beings, and no one can feel happy or angry. As for Motta, who gave in, everyone had only contempt. Instead, they looked at Li Shengli, especially Kidd, who was the focus of firepower. I had to roar in my heart... This big brother is so fierce!
