Twenty-eight seven: the playoff situation
287: Playoff situation
After a while of silence, Doug Rachel raised her head, but her eyes still did not look at Bonchi Wells, but replied indifferently: "What I can do now is to help you relax, and there are not many things you can do on the team."
"So what you mean is that the team will let me sit on the bench?" Bonchiwells was immediately shocked. It was tantamount to him to get the news, so he lost his wife and his troops.
"In fact, Rick Adelman's statement just now is like this. I don't know how to help you now. Although I really want to help you, it's the playoffs now. The importance of the playoffs is more than my personal feelings for you." Rachel replied helplessly.
"But, do you remember what you said when I joined?" Bonchiwells finally panicked when he saw that Rachel stopped pleading for him. The reason why he dared to yell at Doug Rachel before was that he dared to yell at Doug Rachel because he felt that with Doug Rachel's relationship with him, Doug Rachel would definitely stand on his side. However, Doug Rachel's heart is now ashamed, making him full of despair, because he knew that the Kings were Doug Rachel's one-man show. He could offend Adelman and offend Petri, but he could never offend Doug Rachel, or let Doug Rachel no longer favor him.
"I remember, so I came, but you don't want to continue fighting with me anymore. It was you who gave up the opportunity." Doug Rachel raised her eyes again and looked at Bonchi Wells.
Bonchi Wells was speechless, and Doug Rachel was silent with him...
"What's wrong with me wanting a big contract?" After a long silence, Bonchiwells raised his head and stared at Rachel's eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"You are not wrong, nor are Adelman, and everyone is not wrong." Doug Rachel's voice was still weak.
"Ho ho ho ho ho..." Suddenly, Bonchiwells laughed bitterly, and his whole body twitched. After a while, he finally spoke, "Actually, I should have known that NBA is a business world. When it is valuable, then when it is a big contract, now my record against the Kings has no use value, so I can kick it away at will."
"It should be no problem to get a full middle class based on your regular season data this year." Doug Rachel looked at Bonchi Wells, who was crazy, and then turned around and walked out the door...
"You are all liars! They are all liars. Don't think I don't know you. Your contract this year has expired. You want to get a big contract, so I'll shorten my playing time, right? You can't be so selfish. With your current performance and your appeal, you can get a maximum salary in any team in the league. Why do you still have to compete with me..." Bunchwells howled madly in the face of Doug Rachel's back, as if Doug Rachel owed him something.
Bang! Doug Rachel turned around suddenly, threw Bang Weiss into a mouth, and then punched Bang Weiss in the chest, then pressed Bang Weiss on the bed, and pointed his finger at Bang Weiss' eyes and said viciously: "I didn't expect you to think of me like this. It's great, wonderful. I've always regarded you as a friend and a brother. You actually think that I'm compressing your playing time, and I'm deliberately suppressing you. So, is your defense more active than Kevin? Are you more efficient now? Why should the team keep an old guy who has reached the end of his career, not a player who is in the rising stage, and that player who is in the rising stage performs better than that old guy who is in the late career!"
Bonchi Wells, who had been struggling, gradually became quiet under Doug Rachel's roar, until he finally became silent. His eyes were filled with loss. After a while, Bonchi Wells said casually: "I know I am wronging you, and I also know what I am thinking in my heart? I want to get a big contract, don't laugh at me for greed. Although you didn't say it, I can see it in your eyes. Do you know what a big contract means to me? Is it more money? No, it's never. You have also grown up from a poor child, so you should be able to know that a big contract is just a manifestation of the security of the poor child's life guaranteed and a behavioral expression of respect for others."
Bonchiwells' remarks made Doug Rachel slowly let go of the hand that was holding Bonchiwells' throat, then stood up quietly, and said softly: "You will not have much time in the day after tomorrow, because we are going to sweep, but in the next round, you will get some of my playing time. I hope you can conquer everyone with your skills." After that, he quickly walked out of the room, leaving Bonchiwells alone to look at the ceiling and stared silently...
The next day, the whole team still trained as usual. Bonchiwells and other players also played and chatted with Doug Rachel, and did not feel any unhappiness because of the incident last night.
While the Kings were leisurely training, another playoff game in the West also scored. The Suns beat the Nuggets 115:98 and rewritten the total score to 2:1. According to the Suns' strength, it is estimated that eliminating the Nuggets team with obvious flaws in the lineup should be no problem. After eliminating the Nuggets, the Kings' opponent was locked on the Suns. In fact, the Kings' record against the Suns in the regular season is unbeaten, that is, sweeping, so once they face the Suns, they have a certain psychological advantage. I think this is why Doug Rachel promises Bonchi Wells more playing time in the second round, after all, there is no player on the Suns' scoring line that can resist Bonchi Wells' big ass.
In addition, the two matches in the West were immediately divided into two matches. The Mavericks lived up to expectations and indeed killed the Clippers. The total score was the same as the Kings - 3:0.
When San Antonio faced the Memphis Grizzlies, he also slaughtered the Grizzlies without any effort. Stone Duncan made Espanyol, known as the new generation's No. 1 power forward, suffer a series of defeats. The score so far is also 3:0.
Compared with the Western Conference's strength and weakness, the Eastern Conference is undoubtedly much more intense. Except for the Pistons, the matchups of other teams are 1-to-one, and even the Eastern Conference regular season championship matchups are 1:1. Judging from the momentum, it is estimated that the Bulls are really likely to have the Black Eight.
After such a result came out, it immediately sparked large-scale discussions. Many experts expressed their views on this year's finals, and their views were different. However, one thing in common is that the Kings are likely to enter the finals this year because the Kings' playoff schedule is really well arranged.
Because after the Kings eliminated the Lakers in the first round, their opponents were the Phoenix Suns. First of all, Phoenix and Sartmento were not far away, and they didn't have to travel and did not have to be exhausted, and the climate was adaptable. And the most important thing is that the Suns never defeated the Kings in the regular season. There are two teams recognized by the entire league to be bombarded, one is the San Antonio Spurs and the other is the Kings. Because the Kings' style of playing is basically based on positional battles, and they are all centered on offense under the basket. This style of playing undoubtedly makes the Suns who have lost Stodmeier even more embarrassed. Therefore, both the media and experts from the outside world are unanimously optimistic that the Kings will lose the Suns in the second round. Most of the games they gave are 4:1, and a very small number of them are given 4:0 or 4:2. As for 4:3, I have never heard of it.
Another argument that supports the Kings to enter the finals is that the Kings avoided the battle between bulls and horses. The Mavericks and the Spurs will meet in the second round of the playoffs without any surprise. These two Texas teams are undoubtedly the strongest teams in the Western Conference this year, so the competition between them will undoubtedly be a tragic encounter. It is completely imagined that the battle situation is fierce. The general view of the outside world and the media is that the two teams will play at least six games, or even seven games, and most of the winners choose the San Antonio Spurs, because after all, the GDP combination has been running-in for a long time, and the core players' psychological quality of the Spurs is definitely more than one, after all, they are all people who have fought hard battles.
Under two resistances, the Kings undoubtedly occupied the right time, place and people, and entering the finals became a very likely thing. Even Kings or Mad Dogs began to yy the Kings won the championship.
When the outside world is looking forward to the future for the Kings, they completely ignore the existence of the Lakers and the Suns. You should know that there are only three games in the first round, and the playoffs have just begun. The Lakers are absolutely not allowed to be ignored. They must always stand at the visual center of everyone.
So Kuppcheck, who lost all his face, stood up again. In a local radio interview program in Los Angeles, Mr. GM, the Lakers, began to change his previous views and began to praise Doug Rachel. He said this - Doug Rachel is a very good player. We had a not very pleasant cooperation with him before. I think this does not mean that we will not cooperate again in the future. As you know, NBA is a commercial market, and everything is possible. Maybe he will return to our team next year, and we will also offer him a good salary.
Water, our unhappiness was because of our incomprehension. Now we have the coaches in the league who are the best at regulating the players' psychology, so we are fully confident to create a win-win situation with Doug Rachel. Moreover, Kobe and Phil both demanded me that they would bring him back to the Lakers this summer. My boss, Mr. Buss, also provided me with a check that was not online. Yes, we will give him a maximum contract that the league can allow. And Phil also agreed to formulate personal tactics for him, and neither Kobe nor Lamar had any objections to this...
