Chapter 297 [Teammates must open their hearts! 】
A PK between Hayes and Artest caused the Bobcats to lose two games.Such a senseless loss made Hayes hate Artest.
Bobcats lost to the Eagles, Hayes also found a problem, that is, a team must have an absolute core.Bobcats lineup looks very strong, Hayes thought he could win the Eagles even without himself, but that's not the case.It's not easy for the players to distribute the ball when Hayes is not on the court.Wallace is the oldest in the Bobcats, Billups is the most experienced, and the most talented person is Durant.Gerald Wallace, except for Hayes, refused to accept anyone and naturally wanted to be the main attacker. In fact, when he was the core of the team's offense, he averaged up to 18 points per game, and his scoring ability was not too strong.Billups overwhelmed Deron Williams and Chris Paul in the Dream 8 team to become the main starter, and he has played eye-catching in recent games. He also believes that Hayes is not present, and he is the team leader.Durant is the person with the strongest scoring ability except Hayes, but his teammates don't pass the ball to him, so he dare not say anything.
The role of Hayes in the team is not only reflected in the statistics. As long as he is on the court, the players are very clear that they must first pass the ball to him and start the attack from his point.Hayes messed up when he wasn't on offense.Bobcat Hayes is the boss, but it's hard to say who is the second.Gerald Wallace was the clear No. [-] last season.But his strength cannot be said to be stronger than Billups. Durant became the team's scoring leader. When he was in Los Angeles, he was invited to participate in activities with Hayes. This is a signal, and most fans feel Durant is the Bobcats' No. [-] man.If you can't fight for the boss, you have to fight for the second child. People inevitably have selfishness.
The relationship between other players is not particularly harmonious. Brook Lopez has more and more playing time, and veteran Camby has less and less playing time. Camby began to have some opinions on the arrangement of the coaching staff. Zizi is young and has potential. It is understandable that the coaching staff should focus on training him, but Camby's contract is more complicated, consisting of annual salary and bonus.This season, as long as Camby plays more than 60 games and can get 10 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, he can get an extra 300 million.So far, Camby's data has been reduced to 5.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks, and his playing time has been reduced from 35 minutes last season to 26 minutes.As a result, it is very difficult to achieve the data stipulated in the contract, which makes Camby a little unhappy.
Dissatisfied with playing time inside and Bargnani and Marc - Gasol.Bargnani was also the main Bobcats last season. After returning from injury, his playing time has been shortened to only 18 minutes, which is indeed too little for a No. [-] pick.He worried that his career would be over if it went on like this.If it weren't for the Bobcats having a chance to win a championship, he would want to ask for a transfer now.Marc Gasol played too little time in the Bobcats, and sometimes he couldn't get into the rotation. No player wants to make a name for himself in the NBA. What's more, Gasol, who came from Europe to the NBA for gold, has been sitting on the bench for a long time, which makes him very depressed. .
Van Wever and Anthony Morrow didn't get on too well.If Morrow wants to enter the rotation, he usually replaces Weaver.Last season, Weaver was also nominated for the best sixth man. This season, he became a marginal man, and his playing time was reduced to less than 10 minutes per game. Most of them were in garbage time, and he could only score 4 points.Weaver is a proud man who wants to be reused.Morrow has a three-point stunt, and he once scored more than 20 points in a single game. As the season progressed, he became more and more unwilling to be a marginal player.
There are also Rajon Rondo and George Hill.Rondo's shooting has always been criticized, and the coaching staff often praised Hill for his good shots, which made Rondo feel threatened.Rondo's passing awareness is very good and he is a pure point guard, but he has few opportunities to perform because of the existence of Billups.When Rondo went to church, he always prayed that Billups was injured, which shows how much he wants to be in charge. (Is this a prayer?)
Hayes found that the relationship in the locker room had become a little tense.Although no one dared to challenge his core position and spoke politely to him, players in the same position have already started fighting openly and secretly.No one obeys anyone, and they don't talk much to each other.I don't know when it started, the locker room became more and more deserted, and few people spoke before the game and during the break, let alone joked.
Basketball is a team sport. If you want to win, you must not only rely on the stars, but also rely on the concerted efforts of the whole team.Many teams have a good configuration on the books, but it has been difficult to achieve convincing results. It is inseparable from the temperament of the team boss, and it is inextricably related to the internal atmosphere of the team.The infighting within the team directly affects the team, which in turn affects the team's combat effectiveness, and can even lead to the disintegration of the dynasty.
No one from the Bobcats has come forward to compete with Hayes for the boss, and there will be no disintegration of the team. However, the relationship between teammates is not "monolithic", which will still affect the team's combat effectiveness.
In the Bobcats, or in the entire NBA, there are some unspoken rules that affect players' emotions, such as rookies being called around by veterans, carrying bags, serving tea and water, and so on.These are trivial matters, if you are a broad-minded rookie, you will naturally not care about them.But in the Bobcats, several veterans are "newcomers" who have just joined the team, and their qualifications in the team are not as good as young people like Weaver and Landry. These rookies will make people feel disgusted.
When eating in the team restaurant, the players also "clique", the main players eat together, the main substitutes get together, and the marginal people sit together.These are small things, but Hayes thinks they can't be ignored. "Disasters often accumulate in the slightest."For "little things" that affect the overall situation, we must not take it lightly.A group of small insects, with their insignificant but non-stop attacks, can kill a giant tree; a small "ant nest" can form infiltration, cause piping, and cause the embankment to collapse.
Hayes wanted to do something to bring the players closer together.
11月25日，海耶斯解禁复出拿下24分15篮板10助攻，山猫117比98主场大胜76人。
The next day, Hayes paid to invite all the team players and coaches to the best restaurant in Charlotte, "Firebirds Wood Fired Grill", and feasted everyone in the name of celebration.
Hayes is well-known in the local area, and easily booked a large private room. He specifically asked the people in the restaurant, one private room, two tables.
After the players entered the dining room, the coaching staff sat at a table with the main players and veterans, and the substitute players sat at a table, forming a clear differentiation.
Hayes had previously asked Azubuike to reserve a seat for him on the bench.This made one of the substitutes sit next to the main players and the coach.
When Hayes sat down next to Azubuike, Gerald Wallace called out, "Chuck, come sit here?"
"Why can't I sit here? We're all in the same room anyway." Hayes laughed.
D'Antoni and Van Gundy also asked Hayes to sit in the past.
Weaver smiled bitterly: "This is a marginal player. I just said that it is inappropriate for you to be here."
"I don't think there is anything inappropriate. Before the dinner, I have something to say. First of all, I want to announce that after every home victory, I will invite everyone to come here to celebrate!" Hayes smiled.
It was a very extravagant restaurant, and Hayes was the team's biggest moneymaker.He was generous enough to spend money to treat his teammates to dinner, and everyone was very happy.Azubuike and Durant also took the lead in applauding Hayes.
Hayes signaled Azubuike not to boo, he stood up, his expression became more serious, and he said seriously: "Next I want to say something, we are a united team! But rest in the locker room, in the locker room There is something unnatural in our team when eating in the restaurant. Now we have two tables here, you know what I saw here? It’s not that everyone sits in two groups, but a gap! Yes, it’s the main players , Substitute players, fringe players... I would like to ask, why is this happening? I suggest that everyone sit together, disrupt this unspoken rule, get to know each other sincerely, and speak out what is in your heart! Our Bobcats Although the team is not a perfect world, there is no class here, we are equal. We are friends, there is nothing that cannot be said."
Everyone looked at Hayes in surprise.
"Let me talk about my thoughts. I think everyone is eager to get playing time, get shot rights, get beautiful data, and prove their ability. But the data is not the most important. Ginobili's strength is not inferior to McGrady, but he is willing to do it. The best sixth man of the team, as well as Terry of the Mavericks, he is also capable of becoming the main player, but they all make sacrifices for the team's victory. No one will think they are weak because of it. The important thing is the championship. Everyone must show their abilities when they play. As long as I play, I will not pass the ball to someone because he is a substitute and his strength is weak. As long as he has a chance, As long as he is working hard on the court, I am willing to give him the ball and grab rebounds for him. To win the championship, we must play the most reasonable team basketball. In order to cooperate better on the court, we must eliminate the barriers outside the court , work hard for a common goal! I hope that everyone will open their hearts. I am speaking my mind now. This season, although I declared that I want to win the championship, the media already thinks that we are arrogant. In fact, my goal is Breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins, we have already lost two games, but in the next game, I am confident that the number of losses will be kept within 9 games!"
Azubuike stood up too.Said loudly: "I also talk about my own psychological words. Last season, I started for a long time. Now that Kevin (Durant) came, I was pushed to the bench. At the beginning, I I'm very upset about this guy because he cut my playing time in half, but I think about it now because he is really strong. He is a good scorer. With him, it is easier for us to get Champion! I am willing to give my all when I come off the bench. I think everyone should strengthen communication! Instead of secretly trying to grab the main position."
Marc Gasol also stood up.Said in not very fluent English: "Let me also talk about it. I know that my shortcoming is slow movement speed, but I have advantages. I am a good team player. I have strength and can support the offense. I hope that the opponent's inside When players are not strong enough, they can get more chances to play. I came to the NBA from Europe, hoping to have a successful career instead of being a bench all the time. Even if my strength is not enough, I hope everyone can support me, help me, and let me improve my skills Make progress!"
At another table, Billups stood with Miller.Miller motioned for Billups to speak first.
Billups laughed: "I want to sit over there. Who will switch seats with me?"
Miller said with a smile: "This is what I want to say. Chuck is right, we should communicate more. Although not everyone can be the main force, we can become good friends and make progress together!"
The atmosphere in the room was lifted, and Hayes' initial goal was achieved.
