Yesterday's NBA theme was not only DeRozan's back-to-back kills, but also infighting in the Rockets' locker room. Before the game against the Nuggets, Wood surprisingly did not enter the starting line, and head coach Silas revealed that Wood was breaking the rules of the team.
The specific situation is that Wood was late and missed the time for the new crown test, which affected the team's plans, and Silas was very unhappy about it. But in the end, Silas still let Wood play as a substitute, but Wood was very unprofessional.
After coming off the bench, Wood was obviously passive and sluggish, blindly shooting from the outside, and there was no defense. Although he usually plays like this, it was especially obvious yesterday, and he was the culprit in the second quarter crash.
Rockets reporter Fagan said: "Wood lacks enthusiasm in playing, I don't know what the specific reason is, I don't know what Wood's purpose is to expand the contradiction. ”
The Rockets basically lost the game at halftime, and during the halftime, the Rockets' locker room completely exploded. Everyone was angry, Wood refused to play in the second half, and Kevin Porter Jr. lost his temper and left the Toyota Center directly in the second half.
Subsequently, according to the famous Shams, the person who had a serious quarrel with Little Porter was the rocket's respected assistant coach John Lucas, and Little Potter not only confronted Lucas, but also threw something at Lucas, the specific throwing is uncertain, it is said to be a chair.
It can be said that the cause of the incident was that Wood violated the team rules and then slacked off on the field, causing everyone's emotions to explode at one point. And then Little Potter became the one who detonated the explosives again.
Everyone should also know that he was the fuse of infighting in the locker room during the Knights period, and a year ago Porter Jr. found that his locker was being used by his teammates, and immediately became angry in the locker room, shouting and smashing with food.
Cavaliers general manager Altman and the head coach came to reassure and persuade them, but Porter Jr. even began to argue with them, and the scene was out of control for a while. Later, the knight almost gave little Potter White to the rocket, and quickly got rid of this hot potato.
After coming to the Rockets, Porter Ann Jr. scored a period of time and even brushed 50 points in a game. It seems that Porter Jr.'s talent that has not been redeemed for various reasons has been successfully cashed in on the Rockets, and Rockets fans have jokingly thanked the Cavaliers for sending the core of the old iron.
I don't know if the Rockets fans are still laughing now, the time bomb on Porter Jr. still exploded in their locker room, although it was late. Ironically, the Rockets hoped that Porter Jr. would change his temper by following Lucas, and this time Potter Jr. bumped into Lucas.
John Lucas is one of the league's oldest coaches, starting his coaching career in 1992 and coaching several teams before becoming an assistant coach for the Houston Rockets in 2016.
When the Rockets changed coaches, Harden strongly supported Lucas to become the new manager of the team, but the Rockets owner finally chose Silas, which was one of the ultimate reasons why Harden applied for a trade.
Harden and Lucas have developed a deep relationship in the past few years together, even if they go to the Nets, every time they play against the Rockets, Harden will come to greet the 68-year-old coach.
Even Harden has great respect for people, why did you little Potter throw something at him? Bad temper can do so? This is not the first time, it shows how incorrigible this person is.
Afterwards, Porter Jr. of course apologized to the Rockets, and this was not the first time he apologized to the Rockets, after Porter Jr. was punished by the team for violating the epidemic prevention regulations.
As it stands, the Rockets want to treat the incident cold this time and will not have obvious penalties for Porter Jr. and Wood. Of course, this may also make them play some more trading value and then get out of hand.
It is not difficult for Wood to find the next home, but what team dares to ask for a player like Porter Jr., who is unorganized and undisciplined, who doesn't play well and has no reverence?
