Chapter 1040 Jordan’s Stubbornness

"Last time you said that Kawhi's injury would be more serious than expected? Has he communicated with you?"

Popovich should have encountered an injury dispute with Leonard just like in history.

Tang Tianduo reminded him that Popovich probably thought Leonard and Tang Tian had communicated.

"No, I just felt like watching the video. What's wrong?"

Tang Tian asked tentatively.

"Well... I can't contact him now. He doesn't believe in the team right now. To be honest, I don't know his injury situation right now, and he went to New York on his own."

When Popovich said this, he looked at Tang Tian.

The meaning is relatively clear. He knows the relationship between Tang Tian and Leonard, and he wants Tang Tian to help.

"Old man, I have an opinion on this matter. I wonder if you want to hear it."

Live your life to the end and send Buddha to the West.

Since he had spoken to Popovich at the beginning, he would have ended the matter well.

Popovich nodded and signaled him to say.

"Kawhi's personality is different from Tim's. He's not a good kid, even though he looks like he is."

Popovich was surprised when he heard this. Obviously he felt that what Tang Tian said was wrong.

But he didn't say anything. The same player, coach and teammates may be two people in front of him.

Tang Tian said this, the reality is probably like that.

“He’s experienced his father being killed, so he’s going to be very sensitive, and he’s going to have his own thoughts.

So in my opinion, if he trusts the doctors in New York more, let him go and see them, and he will come back naturally after seeing them. "

"Then he can't lose contact with the team!"

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Popovich said angrily.

He has been coaching the Spurs for more than 20 years, and this should be the first time he has been treated like this.

"I think Paul George made a bad start. If push comes to shove, no one can guarantee that Kawhi won't do that."

"He dares!"

As soon as Tang Tian finished speaking, Popovich was so angry that he slammed the table.

This bad temper is exactly the same as when he coached Tang Tian.

But after finishing the filming, he realized that Tang Tian was no longer the Tang Tian he was during the Spurs, and his angry expression gradually faded away.

“Man, not everyone is General Robinson, or Tim, or Manu, or Tony.

Kawhi is not a good boy, but he is not a devil either.

I think giving him certain superstar rights and making him feel respected will make him loyal to the team, which is also a good thing for the future development of the Spurs. "

Tang Tian finally spoke.

If he hadn't played for the Spurs and played under Popovich for two years, he certainly wouldn't have said these things.

But he served, and now one is his mentor and the other is his younger brother. He does not want the two of them to go to the extremes in history.

Some things have changed since he traveled through time, and some things have not. He hopes this is the one thing that has changed.

Popovich looked at Tang Tian blankly for a while, then nodded.

Others said he didn't believe it, but Tang Tian said he was willing to believe it.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

No one knows what the future holds for Popovich and Leonard, but at least things are moving in a good direction.

The Pelicans' next opponent is the Hornets.

Butler was only thinking about the game against his old team, the Mavericks, which hadn't started yet, but it wasn't his turn yet, it was Walker's turn first.

After the Hornets let Walker go and traded Lamb, Jordan showed his vision and traded Terry Rozier from the Celtics for a future first-rounder.

This deal was complained by many fans. After all, the Hornets have been a bad team for ten thousand years and they also walked away from Walker. The first-round pick is very valuable.

But Jordan defied all opinions and felt that Rozier was the chosen one.

The Hornets have 0 wins and 7 losses in their past 7 games, ranking last in the league.

But Rozier performed well, averaging 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, making him the team's leading scorer.

"He had no chance at all in Boston the past two years. It turns out that all this guy lacks is an opportunity."

"He is a natural scorer. He always has a desire to attack the basket. He can also find open teammates. He is very versatile."

"He has a chance to be Charlotte's new ace, I believe that."

…

This performance made Jordan feel particularly embarrassed. He praised Rozier's performance in public more than once.

Obviously, this was a case of Jordan's stubbornness.

Letting Walker go made him endlessly ridiculed by the fans. Everyone thought that he had poor vision, so he just wanted to prove that he had the ability to discern pearls.

Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it!

The 20+5+5 defender was discovered by him only after searching for a long time!

The day before the game, the entire Pelicans team arrived in Chartreaux to prepare for the game against the Hornets.

The opponent was relatively weak, and the Pelicans did not arrange training after arriving.

And this time, Davis did not travel with the team to Charlotte due to hip discomfort.

The Hornets conducted daily training.

The first half of the two-hour training is closed, and the last half hour is open to the public.

The open part of the knowledge is simple shooting training, but reporters found Jordan at the training site.

He conducted careful shooting coaching training for Rozier on the sidelines.

It can be seen that the basketball god is particularly fond of this short man who is 1.85 meters tall.

The reporter quickly found Jordan for an interview.

Jordan has rarely given interviews to reporters since he became the boss, but this time he made an exception and allowed it.

"What do you think about tonight's game, this is the first time Kemba Walker has returned to Charlotte since he left the team."

"We all know that the strength gap between the two sides is quite large tonight. Has the coaching staff said anything about how to win?"

"Rozier will face off against Kemba Walker tonight. What do you expect from him?"

…

When reporters ask questions, they don’t care who you are. The angle of the questions is tricky and they are not polite.

"I prefer your question."

However, Jordan has a strong aura. He did not answer each one, but named the last reporter who asked the question.

This is a selective answer, domineering and leaky.

"Kemba's contribution to this city is obvious to all, but now we have to focus on Rozier and he is trying to help the team win.

I don’t know how he will develop in the future, but I expect him to reach or even surpass Kemba Walker’s level. "

Jordan's answer is simple, but also very thought-provoking.

But like his previous answer, he attaches great importance to Rozier.

After only playing 7 games, he already expected Rozier to catch up with Walker.

The reporter wanted to continue asking, but Jordan waved his hand to indicate that his time for the interview had come.

Ignoring the reporters' disappointed expressions, the basketball god left the training hall under the escort of two bodyguards.

ps: I recommend a friend’s new book "Krypton Life Scorer". You can tell from the name that it is also in the Krypton mode. It’s not bad. If you are interested, you can read it.

ps: I have something to do during the day today, so I will update 3, and tomorrow I will update 4. Also, please give me a small reward. If the reading interface data looks better, more new readers will come in, thank you~
