On January 7, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. For the Houston Rockets, their locker room contradictions have subsided. The result was not as drastic as expected, but very peaceful. Kevin Potter Jr. and Wood were banned for one game and started again in the following games.
Are you happy with this result? For the fans, this is an unacceptable result. According to the Rockets reporter, Wood punished him for playing as a substitute because he was late for the training game. Kevin Porter Jr., dissatisfied with assistant coach Lucas's preaching, drove away from the Toyota Center and did not play in the second half. Can these performances really be called "professional players"? In such a rebuilding team, can it grow without discipline? distressed! The 68-year-old assistant coach took the initiative to bow his head, James supported the new core of the Rockets, and Harden left the team because of one person.
The 68-year-old teaching assistant took the initiative to bow his head
Kevin Potter Jr. had a bigger problem than Wood, and he threw something at old Lucas and then turned his head and left. Shortly after the incident, Rockets reporters Adam Spolane and Adam Abramson revealed that the team would not give up Little Potter so quickly, and real life was not a game. It took the Rockets a year to make Porter feel at home in Houston, and it was part of it.
There is also news that is heart-wrenching! Rockets reporter BIG SARGE news: After Porter Jr. left the court early because of the mood in the Rockets vs Nuggets, assistant coach Lucas was the first person to find Porter Jr. and patiently communicate with him. A 68-year-old assistant coach who took the initiative to bow to a 20-year-old young man can see the weakness of the Rockets management.
James pushed the rocket's new core
After a one-game suspension, Kevin Porter Jr. threw a 3-point shot against the Wizards. However, the wizard's home announcer made a very controversial statement: he (referring to Little Potter), like his father, pulled the trigger at the right moment! According to investigation, Porter Jr.'s father was shot.
In response to this insulting remark, league superstar James commented: Oh, he thinks it's cool, right? No! We don't think so! You can't talk like that on your own home, how insensitive you have to be to say that. As for why James supported Little Potter so strongly, he said:
We have to keep protecting our players. I can't let such a thing happen to a child who respects me, and Little Potter respects me, so I have an obligation to let him know that I am his backing.
James's behavior has won praise from many people, as the NBA's signature player, he does have an obligation to defend the interests of the players, for some improper remarks, to give a response. However, from this matter, Kevin Porter Jr. is also a sociable player who can establish a good personal relationship with James.
In fact, the Rockets' cultivation of Little Potter is obvious to all. In order to give him a starting point guard position, he did not hesitate to put more than 40 million healthy Wall on the bench. However, the answer sheets submitted were not satisfactory. He averaged 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.9 turnovers per game, shooting 36 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range. Nowadays, it is really unsatisfactory to make a big fuss about the dressing room. But isn't that the responsibility of the manager?
Harden left the team because of one person
For a team, the head coach is the direct manager of the players. Especially in the dressing room, the majesty, discipline and command ability of the manager will affect every player in the team. Silas is not a qualified manager, and the state of laughter cannot suppress some thorny players or build a tough team culture. When D'Antoni resigned, Harden strongly recommended Tyrone Lou and eventually turned to Lucas Sr. But what? The Rockets management chose the "mild-mannered" rookie coach Silas.
Harden left the team, and Silas was elected manager of the team, which greatly contributed. If the team can meet Harden's requirements, it may not tear its face, or maybe it can rebuild a championship team.
