Chapter 165 Training Milicic Again
"The Phoenix people are really strong enough this season. Stephen Nash does have the strength of the MVP. This game failed, but our boys did a good job. The failure is my responsibility."
Cartwright took the blame for the failure on himself in his postgame press conference.
He really felt that these players in his family did a great job.Because even at the end of the third quarter, the Bulls maintained a strong desire to win and played quite well.
At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls were still chasing the Suns by just four points 74:78.
But in the fourth quarter, when Nash and Stoudemire began to lead the Suns to play their signature seven-second offense.Scored 38 points in a single quarter.Young bulls are then thoroughly beaten.
But even though he lost to the Suns by 18 points, Cartwright is still very satisfied with the team's performance.After all, the Suns are too strong this year, and it is not easy for the Bulls to entangle them almost to the end.
Wang Shipeng scored 37 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, and played his role almost perfectly.However, in an interview after the game, Wang Shipeng also took the responsibility for the loss on his shoulders.
"Wang, you almost scored 40+5+5. Even Michael Jordan can't guarantee that he can do better. Are you taking responsibility for others?"
Wang Shipeng glanced at the interview badge on the reporter's chest. Sure enough, he was an ESPN reporter.
"Even if I scored 81 points, it doesn't matter if the team loses. My teammates have done a great job, and the loss is naturally my responsibility as the captain. Otherwise, what do you need the captain for?"
After speaking, Wang Shipeng pushed the reporter away regardless of the danger of being fined.Because he knew that if he was asked any more questions, he would soon be asked about Milicic.
That's right, Cartwright and Wang Shipeng took responsibility in the interview at the same time, just to give an arrow to Milicic who should have really taken responsibility.
Milicic played like shit in this game, playing 27 minutes, only scored eight points on 12-of-3 shooting, and got six rebounds at the same time.At the same time, six fouls left the field in the second half of the third quarter.
Lost Milicic's 20+ per game contribution and inside deterrence.It is an important reason why the Bulls were defeated by the Suns in the fourth quarter.After all, Al Jefferson is not the little wolf king who averaged 20+10 per game to prop up the Timberwolves inside in the post-Garnett era in a few years.Expecting him to replace Milicic is somewhat unreliable.
Of course, Turkoglu is also responsible for the Bulls' failure. Although Turkoglu scored 14 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, in the critical fourth quarter, Turkoglu couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the fast break , and Nash lost a mess in the competition for rhythm.
Of course, Turkoglu cannot be blamed for this. After all, he is not an orthodox point guard. Even a decent point guard has several people who can contain Nash who instigates a fast break.
So Wang Shipeng thinks it's okay to lose this game. The Suns are No. [-] in the regular season this year, and the Phoenix Storm led by Nash has not fully demonstrated his power.
Therefore, losing one game to the Suns is really not a big deal. Even the bulls, who won the most, only won 72 games.
But when Wang Shipeng saw Milicic's expression in the locker room during the intermission, he knew that things were not that simple.
It's all Blame Brown. If he hadn't selected Milicic in the second pick but refused to train him well, Milicic wouldn't have become this kind of virtue.
Wang Shipeng can confirm that if the Pistons have the Lakers' patience in training Bynum or the Blazers' patience with Oden, the Pistons will definitely get a white-skinned Olajuwon.
No way, Milicic's talent is too good.Even Wang Shipeng, a traveler who has seen so many super centers in the later generations, was salivating.
But this child's mind is too sensitive, there is nothing he can do. He has been spoiled by coaches, family members and teammates since he was a super basketball genius.No one said a single word.
At the age when I needed it most, I was suddenly thrown to the concentration camp of bad boys in Detroit and the tyrant Larry Brown.Wang Shipeng felt a little pitiful when he thought about it.
dare not think, dare not think.
Now that the team traded him to Chicago, it is necessary to find a way for Milicic to fulfill his potential.
So Cartwright initially ordered Milicic banned from interviews and even kept him off social media.Even when journalists accused Cartwright of human rights violations, he ignored them.
To be honest, Milicic has performed quite well this season. Looking at the stats of 18+9+4+2, few people in the entire league can match it.But maybe there was too much black material left last year, and the American media had too much prejudice against Milicic from Eastern Europe, coupled with the resentment of not being able to interview Milicic for a long time, the American media had watched the Suns and the Bulls. Orgasm after the game.
Back in the locker room, I saw Milicic still sitting there in a daze.Wang Shipeng shook his head, it seems that the important task of training Xiao Xianrou is still a long way to go.
"What are you thinking? Darko."
Milicic raised his head and saw that it was Wang Shipeng who came in, and smiled bitterly:
"It's nothing, Wang, I just don't understand why they can't let me go?"
Wang Shipeng smiled. He walked over and patted Milicic on the shoulder: "Dako, it seems that you still secretly read the news on the Internet."
Milicic blushed a bit, he was still a child, how could he not pay attention to other people's evaluation of him.
"Darco, it's pretty clear why they didn't let you go. Americans have always been such arrogant and ignorant bastards. They never only trust their own people. Even guys like Dirk from Germany can't get them Not to mention a guy like you from the former Yugoslavia. Of course I do too."
Hearing Wang Shipeng's words, Milicic was taken aback: "How is it possible? Reporters almost never speak ill of you."
"That's because they didn't have a chance, have you forgotten what it was like last year at the beginning of the season."
It was only then that Milicic remembered that at the beginning of the 03-01 season, there were indeed more people belittling Wang Shipeng.
"Understood? If you are an American, Brown would never have dared to treat you like that last year. The American media has already blown you into a big white dream.
Just look at Dirk, how much better that guy Larry Bird is than Dirk.It's not all about scoring.Do you think anyone dares to say that Byrd is a softie?And that guy in Minnesota, does he dunk at the rim every time he makes an attack?Why can he be called tough.Just because he will call after scoring a goal.No, because they are Americans and you and Dirk are not. "
"Pfft", Wang Shipeng's words amused Milicic.Think of Garnett beating his chest and yelling every time he scores a goal.It really makes sense.
"So, Darko, don't care what those sons of bitches say. Just remember that in your home country, there will be a group of people who love you and cheer for you.
Moreover, as long as you are always strong enough, the Americans will be conquered by you sooner or later. "
