223: Don't force me, I don't want to be the next Jason Kidd

"Doug, you shouldn't have such actions on the court. You know, this will affect morale!" When Rachel returned to the bench, she passed by Adelman, Adelman said to Rachel softly. Although her tone was very light, her expression was ashen.

Rachel turned around and looked at Adelman, thinking that Adelman was watching him jokes, so she didn't care. She just smiled faintly and did not answer. Then she sat back on the bench. Artest and others immediately joked about what had just happened.

Doug Rachel really didn't take Adelman's words to heart. She thought Adelman was just a kind reminder, so she did not increase her attention. But Adelman was really angry. Now he saw that Rachel didn't take his words seriously, and now he became even more angry. After all, the authority of the coach cannot be easily provoked, even if you are the leader of the team.

"Doug, stay off the court for a while first, you are not suitable for playing now!" Adelman walked up to Rachel and said this, then replaced Rachel with Rashid.

Rachel was puzzled, "Why is it not suitable for me to play? Do you have any new tactical arrangements?" Rachel was asked such a question mark in her mind, but she still didn't doubt that she had angered Adelman. After all, although the cooperation between the two was not close, it was considered a kind of harmony.

Drop! Soon, the whistle of the game restarted, Rachel sat off the court, and Rashid was replaced. All the fans of the court saw their prince being left off the court, and a sudden shock sounded in the Aco Arena.

After the game restarted, the Kings' lineup lacked Doug Rachel, and the originally airtight defense immediately created a loophole in the power forward position. The consequence of the loophole in the power forward link was that the entire defensive system collapsed. After all, Rashid's foot was almost overdrawn after injury. In addition, he was not a defensive player, so at this point, Regg Evans snatched a lot of frontcourt rebounds. Moreover, due to his slow pace, the Kings immediately had big problems in the defensive rotation. Therefore, under various effects, the Supersonics made a small climax!

In the end, under the thrill of Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, at the end of the first quarter, the Supersonics equalized the score with 35:35. Even though Rashid performed very well on the offensive end, scoring six points from three of four shots. But now the Kings are not short of scorers, and the team has at least six to seven who can contribute more than fifteen points per game. Now the Kings lack most are players like Doug Rachel who have a fast defensive range.

Unfortunately, Adelman had no intention of replacing Doug Rachel on the court. Even if the fans shouted loudly, "We want the prince!", in Adelman's heart, this could only deepen his anger. In a sense, Adelman was just a stubborn donkey, and his idea would never change.

"Sir Coach, I have to play now!" After the first quarter, Doug Rachel said to Adelman that even though he had said it three times in the first quarter.

But Adelman's answer is still "Believe in your teammates!" Yes, Adelman thought he was getting rid of Doug Rachel's spirit. It makes sense for him to do this, but what he didn't know was that while he was getting rid of Doug Rachel's spirit, he was also challenging the patience of a mad dog. What he didn't know was how terrible it would be when a mad dog loses patience! In particular, this mad dog has the support of his head boss Chloe.

After getting such an answer, Doug Rachel had to sit back in disappointment because now he is the leader of the Kings and he has the responsibility to trust his teammates.

"Sir, we need Doug now!" Artest shouted loudly at Adelman as he smashed the basketball back to the bench. From his angry expression, it can be seen that the beast had lost his patience before the mad dog lost his patience.

"I have my own arrangements!" Adelman still answered calmly, looking like an old god, as if he was in his heart.

"Breaking!" Artest snorted and sat on the bench indignantly. Doug Rachel next to him quickly comforted Artest: "Ron, why are you angry? Are you not behind yet? It's okay, it's just the end of the first quarter now, and there is still plenty of time to slaughter the supersonics."

"Yes!" After hearing Rachel's comfort, Artest let out a long sigh and adjusted his emotions.

"I really don't understand why Adelman put Doug Rachel off the court. Don't he know that the most important player of the Kings now is Doug Rachel? Without Doug Rachel as the defensive core, will the Kings still have airtight defense? Bill, what are your ideas?" espn's commentator Mike Bryn asked such a question when the first quarter was paused.

"My thought is that Rick Adelman is a pig head, put Doug Rachel off the court? Don't he know that more than 20,000 fans in the game are here to see Doug Rachel? If he still remembers the defeat in the playoffs at home last season, he should have put Doug Rachel on the court! Now Doug Rachel is the soul of the Kings, do you still remember the title of Kings before Doug Rachel comes? Queens! Yes, a sissy name is the extreme.

But, now Shake O'Neal dares to say the Kings like this? I believe that even if it's a fight, Shake O'Neal can't beat Doug Rachel! I bet that if Shake O'Neal dares to call the Kings Queens, Doug Rachel, Artest and others will definitely beat him up! Well, I've said so much, just want to tell Adelman not to put you, the spiritual leader of the city, on the bench, especially when he has no injuries."

The game started again soon, and Rachel remained off the court. This time, when Adelman was setting up tactics, he emphasized his Princeton style of play. He meant that Brad Miller and Michael Bibby would continue their previous style of play, while Ron Artest turned into Stojakovic, who was running, and Bonchiwells turned into Christy, and the old Rashid was regarded as Chris Webber! Well, before he went on the court, Doug Rachel had a premonition that this inappropriate lineup would be a cup.

In fact, Doug Rachel's premonition was inspiring. When Artest and Bonchiwells gave up using their big ass, and when Rashid dragged his slow pace and kept passing and cutting inside and outside, OK! This was the beginning of a cup. In the next game, the Kings not only couldn't play defense, but even the offense was checked and balanced. With five minutes left in the second quarter, the Kings of Sartmento fell behind the Seattle Supersonics by five points. Artest on the field angrily called a timeout, and then ran to the bench angrily.

"Sir Coach, we can't continue like this. If I keep running without the ball like this, I will go crazy!" Artest roared at Adelman as soon as he got off the court.

This roar was intertwined with the "We want the Prince" call in the Arco Arena, forming a sharp contrast, and then hit Adelman's heart heavily. Adelman has never been a stubborn person in coaching. He will set tactics according to different people, but he is definitely a stubborn person in terms of personnel. He said that if he doesn't give anyone to the court, he will never let anyone play.

"Ron, you need to be calm now, Kevin, you replace Ron!" Adelman made a very plain decision, that is, to replace Artest who was furious. There are only three reasons for doing this. One Artest does need to be calm now. The second Kevin Martin is more suitable for Princeton tactics than Artest. Maybe a change of someone will have a better effect. Three Artest openly provokes his coach's authority and must give him a warning, otherwise he will be more lawless in the future. Among these three reasons, the third reason may be the most important one, and the least important one.

"Grass!" After getting this tactical arrangement, Artest waved his fist hard, then ran to the bench and sat down angrily, gasping heavily.

"I want to play!" Rachel stood up and stared at Adelman with her eyes tightly. The audience in the stadium thought that Doug Rachel was going to play when she saw this scene, so she quickly cheered.

Originally, Adelman really wanted to change Doug Rachel to play, but when he heard the cheers, he dispelled the idea, "You have to trust your teammates!" Adelman still had this kind of speech. Now he was reluctant to change the speech, which showed that he had entered a dead end, and an obsession had formed in his mind, an obsession that must destroy Rachel's sharpness in this game.

Rachel also waved her fist heavily, then retreated to the bench, sat next to Artest, constantly undulating her chest to control her anger that was about to leave. At this time, Doug Rachel's patience had already endured to the extreme. If this continues, Doug Rachel would probably explode immediately. You must know that Doug Rachel, as the leader of the team, was pressed on the bench for a whole period of time, so how could she not get angry?

Hush! When the fans saw Rachel retreating again, they immediately booed. Avril, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but feel at ease when he saw this scene. You have to know that the game has passed halfway, and Doug Rachel has only dunked two baskets, which is still eight away from his ten basketball goals. "If he can't complete ten dunks, shouldn't my gift be given?" Such worries fell on Avril's brow, and for a moment, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, which was very moving.

...

"I really don't understand what Adelman sells now? Don't change Doug Rachel when leading, Doug Rachel when equalizing, and Doug Rachel when falling. Oh my God, is he going to give victory to someone?" said Michael Bryn, the commentator of espn.

"Strange, so weird! Adelman must be making some tricks, otherwise he should have replaced Doug Rachel on the court a long time ago! You must know that the opponent of Suttermento in today's game is no one else. It was the Seattle Supersonics that swept them out last season. Before the game, Doug Rachel released the slogan of slaughtering the Seattle Supersonics 30. I bet that if Adelman dares to put Doug Rachel on the bench, he will definitely not be able to get out of the Aco Stadium today, and even if he can get out of this goal today, he will definitely be fired tomorrow. You must know that fans are everything they decide to stay." Bill Walton said.

In the next game, with Kevin Martin's addition, the Kings gradually achieved some level on the offensive end. After all, Kevin Martin is a player who is very suitable for Princeton's playing style. With his addition, it will naturally drive the circulation of the Princeton system.

However, although Princeton's style of play was played, the defense was still bad. Rashad Lewis Ray Allen and others still scored points like cutting grass, so simple that it could not be simpler. After all, Rashid and Kevin Martin's defense was below the level, and Princeton did not pay much attention to physical contact, so it became a natural thing to not be able to play on the defensive end.

Finally, after a long whistle, the first half ended, and the Kings fell one point behind 65:66 and entered the second half. Doug Rachel was pulled by Erin Andrews on the sidelines while entering the locker room to rest.

"Doug, can you accept my interview?"

If it were someone else at this time, the irritable Rachel would definitely refuse, or even scold him, but the person who asked the question was Andrews. This Rachel treated her as a reporter who was half a friend. Rachel never refused anything to his friend, so he did not reject Erin Andrews, but gave a deadline, "Three questions, I can only give you three questions." Rachel said coldly, but this indifference was supported by great enthusiasm. If the question was someone else, he would probably ignore it directly.

"Well, the first question, why did Coach Adelman keep putting you on the bench? Is this a special tactic?" Erin Andrews asked.

"I don't know about this issue. I only know that I only have twenty-four minutes to lead the supersonics 30 and ravage their baskets eight times. You know, these two problems are quite difficult, so now I'm in a hurry!" Rachel replied lightly, unable to hear the feeling of being overwhelmed at all, but she heard a faint anger. Yes, Doug Rachel never doubted himself, but he would doubt others, and this other person was Adelman.

"The second question, may I ask, will you play in the second half?"

"I will definitely appear! And it will be full of twenty-four minutes!" Doug Rachel's face was full of perseverance when answering this question.

"The third question, why do you kiss Avril on the sidelines?" Erin Andrews couldn't help but blush when she asked this question. In fact, she could not ask this question, but impulse beats reason, and then things happened naturally.

"This is just a game, I can't refuse my fans. OK, the three questions are answered!" Rachel decisively strangled the next question, then turned around and ran towards the locker room, without even giving Erin Andrews a chance to end.

There was no choice but to hold the microphone and say to the air: "Okay, thank you for accepting my visit! At the same time, I wish you a wish come true!" Well, although Erin Andrews was facing the air, her tone was excited.

...

"Come on, Prince!" "The prince will win!" "The prince slaughtered supersonics"... Amid such cheers, Rachel ran into the locker room with a pale face.

Bang! Rachel kicked open the door of the locker room. After being hit hard by Doug Rachel, the door made a violent roar. The roar not only confirmed the anger of the door, but also confirmed the anger of Doug Rachel, and also confirmed the anger of all Kings fans. Yes, this kick is really important because it carries all the aggrievances of the first half...

"Mr. Coach, I'm going to play in the second half!" Rachel walked to Adelman and said calmly, in sharp contrast to the action of kicking the door. However, for everyone in the locker room, Doug Rachel's quietness at this moment was even more terrifying than the previous one's violentness.

"You should trust your teammates..." Adelman once again took out that set of rhetoric.

But Doug Rachel interrupted his words, using a roar, a roar from the heart: "Shut up! Shut up! I don't want to hear this again! Now our opponent is the Seattle Supersonics, a team that brings us endless pain. Last time I didn't have a chance to play, so I could only watch us get humiliated, but this time, I have enough physical strength to play, and I don't want to see us get humiliated again, so don't tell me anything to believe my teammates' bullshit!"

Doug Rachel's roar left Adelman speechless, and also left the entire locker room silent.

"Don't force me, I don't want to be the next Jason Kidd!" After yelling, Doug Rachel calmed down, but he said something to Adelman to scare everyone.
Chapter completed!
