In the recent game between the Rockets and nuggets, something very unpleasant happened.
During the game until halftime, there was infighting in the Rockets' locker room, when assistant coach John Lucas gathered a number of players, including Porter Jr. and Wood, to criticize by name, Porter Jr. was very dissatisfied, and Lucas had a fierce argument, and also threw something at Lucas, and then drove away from the Toyota Center, the home of the Rockets, and the second half of the game was directly missed.
Not only that, but another rocket player, Christianwood, also began to make trouble, although he did not leave the stadium, but also refused to play in the second half.
In this way, the Rockets were finally flattened by the Nuggets and lost the game without playing with the two main players.
And today, the details of this infighting were also blown away by the omnipotent NBA reporters, and the fans found that there were so many circles in it.
The whole thing is like this.
At half-time, Lucas called the players in and harshly criticized some of them for not playing hard, not taking it seriously on the pitch, not wanting to win at all, and influencing their teammates.
The players didn't say a word, but someone set their sights on Porter Jr., which made Porter Jr. anxious, he felt that Lucas was talking about himself, but in the first half he felt that he played very hard - in the first half, Porter Jr. played 16 minutes, scored 8 points and 3 assists on 3 of 5 shooting, and the game was quite engaged.
Porter Jr. felt angry, so he angrily picked up something and threw it at Lucas, then left the Rockets home without looking back, drove home in his car and slept.
But little Potter did not know that he was simple-minded and had long been used as a shield.
Is Lucas criticizing Porter Jr.? Of course not, he criticized, it was Wood.
Wood was late for yesterday's game and missed the team's new crown test, so the head coach asked him to play off the bench, and Wood was not happy, and after playing, he began to grind foreign workers, leisurely walks, played 8 minutes in the first half, shot 4 of 0, 3 of 3 three points, and only got 1 rebound.
That is, the coach saw that Wood was playing a little temper, so he did not let him play more, otherwise he would be full, and the Rockets would enter garbage time at the end of the first half.
Obviously it is your own late fault, let you come on as a substitute is not to let you play, the result is that Wood also made an emotion, on the field grinding foreign workers, this attitude is a professional player should have?
Of course, Wood is still very smart, lucas criticizes the player in the middle game, in fact, he is criticizing him, but he takes advantage of Porter Jr.'s unsophistication and violent temper, and when Lucas opens his mouth to criticize the player, he signals that the person who scolds Little Porter Lucas is him, and sure enough, the stupid little Porter instantly takes the bait and turns on the explosion mode.
But the coaching team is not vegetarian, Wood so they also see it, so they criticized Wood by name, this Wood is not happy, I should be scolded by you? He simply refused to play in the second half.
Wood's self-indulgent behavior is not a day or two.
A few days ago, the Rockets and Bucks game went into the second quarter, and during a timeout, Wood and Brooks had a heated argument, as if they were right and had to comply.
Later, in the Rockets and Pacers game, Wood and Jaylen Green quarreled again, because Wood was unhappy that Jaylen Green ignored his own ball in an offensive round, there was no dead ball at the time, the team was still attacking, Wood stopped and angrily sprayed Jaylen Green.
Good guys, Jaylen Green is the rocket's future star, who are you Wood?
Of course, you can't blame Wood, this season, Wood has always been selfish on the court, playing in his own way, only care about personal data, don't care about the team, because he wants to play beautiful data to sign the next big contract, Wood is very clear, he is just a hit on the Rockets to take over.
So Wood tried his best to seize power, he was now clearly bullying the coaching staff's lack of seniority, if the coach was Popovich, It was Patreli, Wood would have been thrown into which stinky ditch to ferment.
That is, the Rockets' rebuilding team, coupled with the fact that the coaching staff is not big enough and has a soft heart, so it has indulged Wood's wanton behavior.
The Rockets this season in fact, the configuration itself is not outrageous, but also can win, why they lost so much, is because the team is full of mountains, one of the most favorite to split the team is Wood, he engaged in confrontation within the team, and pulled up Porter Jr. and other people, and some other teams led by Jaylen Green, Sagu, Christopher and other newcomers on the field and off the field fiercely.
Such a fight makes the rocket have serious internal attrition, which is why the combat effectiveness this season will be so low.
Whether he wants to train a rookie or want to shape the culture of the ball emperor, Wood can't stay, let him play is to brush the data, and the opponent who encounters the strong point is to steal and slip, and also bring bad Little Potter.
Of course, Little Potter also has a problem, that is, his temper is really too grumpy, and he explodes at one point.
And there is no respect for the leader, no respect for the coach, although the potential is full, but the attribute of the thorn head is also obvious, before the Cavaliers was sent away because of the beating of the general manager, this little thing can make him can not hold the temperament, is really not suitable for being a professional player.
No professional player is directly burdened by a sentence of prodding, if this is the finals, the team is counting on you? So little Porter, even if his heart is not bad, he can't stay.
Of course, this kind of neurotic player, if there is someone who can suppress him, then everything is fine, such as James to JR Smith, unfortunately, where can the Rockets suppress the players who can hold the scene?
