No matter which team you are on, the atmosphere in the locker room is very important!
The locker room is the most important place for players to communicate after the game. Most of the information communication between the players of a team occurs here.
If the atmosphere in the locker room is not good, it will be difficult for the players on the court to work together and cooperate with each other tacitly.
Like other places, the main reason for conflicts in the locker room is because of power!
Who is the boss, who takes the shot at critical moments, who is the starter and who is the substitute, and whether the team's salary distribution is reasonable? These are conflicts that many locker rooms have.
And the head coach often can't do anything about this.
What the head coach can control is the team's tactics and the players' playing time.
If ordinary role players have opinions, they won't resist.
Because you don’t have that right yet!
If you dare to resist, just trade away!
But the stars are different.
No matter how good the coach is, he can't play in person.
Generally speaking, you can only use what tactics according to the kind of players you have, rather than the other way around, where the head coach forces the stars to adapt to his tactics!
Unless the star's wrist is not big enough!
Therefore, in the NBA, stars are more important than coaches, especially big-name stars.
Once there is a conflict between stars and discord in the locker room, there is nothing the head coach can do.
What Deng Fang can cure is the players' physical injuries, but he can't do anything about the players' mental illnesses.
When dealing with a group of people, balancing the contradictions in all aspects is the most difficult thing!
It is for this reason that many experienced teams will find one or two respected veteran players to take over the position of coach to maintain the atmosphere of the locker room.
Many words are more effective for veteran players than for head coaches.
Of course, the most important thing about whether the atmosphere in the locker room is good or not depends on the character of the boss.
The boss of the team is a free-spirited person who does everything from food, drink, prostitution and gambling, and never takes the coach's words seriously. Such a team's locker room will definitely not be good.
No matter how prestigious a veteran is, it’s useless!
No matter what you say is right, others must listen!
So the most important thing is for the team to find a good star to be the leader.
This is not only about the level of playing, but also about character and personality.
Once such a star is found, the core of the team must be clarified as early as possible.
This person is the core of the team, everyone listens to him!
The boss can lead by example on the court, and the same goes for the locker room.
The atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room is very good, which is the result of Deng Fang's hard work for a long time.
At the beginning of the season, Deng Fang traded away several bad guys, including Stephen Jackson, Monta Ellis, and Corey Maggette, who were all sold off!
No matter how well you hit the ball, if you don't obey me, get out!
Curry is the boss, the only core!
The first thing Deng Fang did when choosing a player to trade was to look at his character.
You have to have the strength, and it's not okay to be disobedient.
You can have a personality, but you have to understand the general picture!
You can do whatever you want with your opponents, but not with your teammates or the head coach!
Not even those with many bad habits.
Lopez has a gentle personality, Prince is a good guy, and although Azubuike is a bit fierce, he is still obedient to the head coach.
Lagabell is a thorn in the side, but he has always been a role player and knows his position. After Deng Fang healed his injury, he was convinced by Deng Fang.
Besides, a team also needs a ruthless character like Laga Bell.
That's why Deng Fang kept Lagabert.
If Lagabert showed any disobedience to discipline, Deng Fang would have traded him away long ago.
Livingston is an even better kid, and so is Belinelli.
Even the young Jordan knows how to listen to his coach.
As for Anthony Moreau, Tolliver and others, Deng Fang does not need to worry.
How dare a bunch of players with minimum salaries be disobedient?
Of course, if a team has a good locker room atmosphere, role players will always be secondary.
The most important thing is the team leader!
And Curry, the leader of the Warriors, is the most reassuring one!
No matter how much honor he gets, Curry will never get carried away, become arrogant and make his teammates uncomfortable.
No matter what the coach asks him to do, Curry never complains. He always does everything the coach asks carefully and obediently.
Even though he is obedient, Curry is still a tease!
Whether on the court or in the locker room, Curry is everyone's pistachio!
Even in terms of salary, Curry ranks low in the team!
With such a team leader, it will be difficult for the Warriors to cause conflicts in the locker room!
But once James comes, it will be completely different!
Who is the boss?
All the Warriors players have become accustomed to following Curry. Now that an outsider has arrived, a superstar, who should they listen to?
Can James be as meek as Curry?
Would he agree without the ball?
Is it possible to have James come off the bench?
Did James suffer the consequences of not giving him special privileges?
But if James is given special privileges, what will other players do?
For various reasons, Deng Fang firmly opposed taking the initiative to invite James to join.
Deng Fang firmly objected, and Tim had no choice but to give up.
Of course, Tim didn't have much hope at first, he just wanted to follow the trend and give it a try.
What if James wants to come?
Who would refuse if James could come?
Since Deng Fang disagrees, forget it.
Not much hope anyway.
Who would have thought that James would now take the initiative to send out an invitation, hoping to have an interview with the Warriors!
Taking the initiative to request an interview means that James has taken a liking to the Warriors and has a very strong desire to join the Warriors!
This is great news!
Tim was overjoyed and excited after receiving the call, and immediately agreed to James' request for an interview.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, Deng Fang poured cold water on Tim again.
"No matter what James's request is, it is impossible for Curry to be the second boss!"
Deng Fang spoke very firmly.
Tim was a little disappointed. He didn't understand why Deng Fang was so stubborn.
It’s James who’s coming!
It was delivered to your door, but you still dislike it?
Curry is great, but he is a rookie!
So what if James is the boss?
Curry has no objection, so why should you?
However, Deng Fang was very tough and said that there was no room for negotiation on this point.
James can come if he wants, but he has to be the second boss!
I've said it before, James is an excellent second-in-command!
It's impossible to be the boss!
Tim knew Deng Fang's style of doing things. If he didn't say anything, he wouldn't change his mind if he said it.
Moreover, Deng Fang's status in the team is very high, and he basically means everything.
Fortunately, James has a strong desire to join, so it seems that we can negotiate.
Early in the morning on July 1, James' agent flew to Golden State.
James is very smart, he did not take action personally.
As long as I come to Jinzhou at this time, it will make people think about it.
It’s okay if the negotiation is successful, but if the negotiation fails, someone will definitely dig your grave and slap you in the face afterwards!
James would never do anything that would lead to someone being caught!
