The quarrel between Duhon and Eddy Curry made Scales look a little blue.
"Chris, Eddie, you two don't have to play tonight, just sit on the bench for me. Frank, you start today, replacing Chris!" Skiles immediately made his own move
punishment.
Although Eddy Curry was wrong in the first place, it was definitely not the right thing for Chris Duhon to provoke Eddy Curry in order to stand up for his friend Nocchione.
So Scales' punishment is convincing.
But, changing the generals on the spot, before such an important game? Isn’t it a bit too hasty?
In the few games Hinrich was suspended, Chris Duhon's performance was quite satisfactory. Although not too outstanding, he was at least competent. It was just that Eddy Curry was replaced by Nocchioni. Chris Duhon's performance was quite satisfactory.
Duhon has to be replaced by Frank Williams and directly win two starts at once. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?
Moreover, after Skiles said this, neither of them has a chance to play tonight. For the Bulls, who already have insufficient rotation due to the suspension of Hinrich and Luer Deng, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
ah.
Several assistant coaches frowned. They felt that they should remind Scales that the punishment could be discussed later. This game should be finished first before talking about it!
Besides, it was just a quarrel, just a few words of reprimand, why should the punishment be so severe?
Several assistant coaches thought they should persuade Scales, but before they could speak, Scales seemed to realize what they were going to say. He waved his hand directly with a very firm attitude.
"I'm the head coach now. Whatever I say, you two stay well with me today. I'll settle the score with you after this game! Frank, is there any problem with you playing?"
Scales' words were a reminder to his assistant that he had already made his decision and there was no need for further persuasion.
He didn't want to deny his assistant face in front of the team.
When several assistant coaches looked at it this way, it seemed like their persuasion was useless.
Several people thought this and took back what they wanted to say.
"No problem, coach!" Although Frank also sympathized with Chris, he was very happy to get the opportunity to play, so he answered directly. His attitude was a little excited.
Noccioni glanced at Chris with an apology written all over his face.
Du Hong didn't expect that he would be punished so severely. He was suspended from the team after saying a few words, and his face was panicked for a moment.
Only Chen Jie next to him finally understood what Scales meant.
Skiles was obviously targeting Eddy Curry, and the reason why he punished Duhong as well was because he was afraid that others would gossip.
He believed that after this incident, Duhon was fine. Eddy Curry would definitely complain to his agent, and his agent might call Thomason. At that time, Skye would
Si added fuel to the fire and traded Eddy Curry, which is a sure thing.
Duhong is a newcomer, a rookie. He will not go to the manager to complain if he is punished by the coach. He is not qualified yet.
But Eddy Curry, although he is still holding a rookie contract, has played for four seasons and is now well-known. He is even called the Little Shark. He is also a big person. In addition, his arrogance
If I have a bad temper, I will probably complain to the manager.
By then...
It seems that Skiles is also a sinister man! Chen Jie smiled in his heart.
"Okay, Chris, don't be afraid. The coach just wants to scare the monkeys. Don't worry. He will definitely not punish you too much in the future!" Of course, Chen Jie would not tell Du Hong what Skiles was thinking, but
He still comforted Du Hong like this.
Du Hong still looked panicked. He was really afraid that he would lose his current status and playing time that he had finally obtained.
"I can guarantee that you will be able to play in the next game, believe me!" Chen Jie said when he saw that Du Hong was still worried.
"How can you be so sure, Jie?" Du Hong asked, feeling uncertain.
"I will go to the coach to plead for mercy later, don't worry. The coach will give me face!" Chen Jie said this, which was considered to have deceived Du Hong, but it was also for Du Hong's benefit.
Of course Du Hong knows what status Chen Jie has now. Although his salary is not the highest in the team, he is the core of the team and his status in the coach's heart is definitely the highest. If he goes to plead for mercy, Skiles should give him face?
Thinking about it this way, Du Hong felt relieved.
"Thank you, Jie!" Du Hong thanked him.
"Why are you so polite? Du Hong, we are buddies!" Chen Jie smiled.
After such an incident, Skiles's interest was not high anymore. He asked several assistant coaches to explain the offensive arrangements for the night to the players, but Scales sat silently beside him.
At about five o'clock, the meeting ended and the team members went to have dinner, but Chen Jie found Scales.
"What's the matter with you, Jie?" Skiles asked curiously when he saw that Chen Jie did not go to dinner with the troops, but instead found him.
"Coach, what's bothering you?" Chen Jie asked, seeing Scales frowning.
Before Scales could answer, Chen Jie then laughed and said, "I'm thinking of trading Eddie out. Who should I replace him with?"
Chen Jie's words shocked Scales. He looked at Chen Jie and wondered how Chen Jie knew he was going to trade Eddy Curry.
You know, just last season, Eddy Curry was called the Bulls' future hope.
The Bulls are also preparing to use Eddy Curry as the cornerstone of the team.
After Chen Jie came this season, the Bulls regarded Eddy Curry and Chen Jie as two superstars, one inside and one outside, to train, and they were prepared to rely on these two people to make a difference in the future.
Of course, Eddy Curry's performance in the first half of the season was disappointing.
But many people actually think that Eddie Curry is just not used to not having a basketball in his hands, and is not used to providing cover and support for Chen Jie. When he gets used to it, the Bulls will be even better.
Even many players on the Bulls still believe that Eddy Curry's status is untouchable.
Today, Skiles asked Eddy Curry to be the substitute, and many people were surprised.
Under such circumstances, Skiles was of course surprised as to why Chen Jie guessed that he wanted to trade Eddy Curry.
In fact, Chen Jie also did so because of his past life experience.
Eddy Curry has a heart problem. The Bulls don't know it yet, but they will soon.
At that time, Eddy Curry would not be able to adapt to such intense competition, and would not perform well for at least a few seasons.
Chen Jie knew that the Bulls would definitely trade Eddy Curry. In his previous life, Chen Jie thought it was just because of this reason. When he got to the team, Chen Jie realized that the reason why the Bulls traded Eddy Curry was not just because of a heart problem.
Eddy Curry's playing attitude and temper are unbearable. This is the most important thing.
To be honest, after knowing this, Chen Jie was very happy. Of course, he didn't want his team to be that kind of ruthless place where players would be traded away because they were sick.
The Bulls' trade of Eddy Curry was a certainty. Because of this prophet and Skiles's attitude, Chen Jie could easily analyze Skiles' thoughts.
Of course, this was a bit shocking to Scales.
"We have all seen Eddie's usual performance. I can see that coach you are very dissatisfied with him, and the coach suddenly got so angry today and gave him a suspension penalty, so I guess,
The coach should trade him. As for how to trade him, the coach must be in a dilemma. His salary is not high, but his ability is still good and he has potential. If we replace him with a player of equal value, we will suffer a loss, but if we replace him with a player of equal ability, we will suffer a loss.
Yes, our team's salary cap has also passed. Is that true?" Chen Jie asked again.
Skiles felt that Chen Jie was crazy at this moment. What he said was exactly what he thought!
"Is this why you came to me to ask?" Scales replied, which was considered an admission.
Chen Jie nodded, but then shook his head, "Coach, I came to you to give you a suggestion. Actually, I have an idea." (To be continued...)
