Chapter 298 Delong's apology to Sloan(2/2)

Including what he did before, there were certain personal emotions involved, especially after Lin Ying won the Best of the Week.

Why did he come to the Nets first, and now the Nets have become Lin Ying’s team?

If a person is not selfish, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If a person is not selfish, he is no longer a human being.

But now that emotion has disappeared.

Lin Ying not only showed his ability, but also showed the temperament of a leader, the courage to help his teammates even without data.

He has been in the NBA for so many years and has seen many players, but Lin Ying is the only one he has seen do that.

In other words, he was willing to "help" from the bottom of his heart.

So his current mood has changed to wanting to chase the championship that represents the highest glory for players with Lin Ying.

The two of them chatted for a while, and unknowingly they talked about the reaction of Jazz fans tonight.

When talking about the changes in Jazz fans, both of them laughed unconsciously.

The feeling of conquering a group of people is very beautiful.

Then naturally, the two of them talked about Sloan.

When the mood came, Delong also completely opened his heart.

"We just had some communication problems that day. I really didn't expect that he would choose to leave suddenly. He didn't even talk to me."

"You should know him better than anyone else."

Now that the conversation has come to this point, Lin Ying doesn't say anything haha.

This sentence is also very profound.

It seems that it is just saying that Deron and Sloan have a good relationship, but the deeper meaning is that Deron knows Sloan very well, and he should be very clear that what he did touched Sloan's bottom line.

Delong was silent for a while.

Because the topic between him and Sloan was too heavy, he had been avoiding the issue in his heart, and was even reluctant to think about it more deeply.

But Lin Ying's words threw the most obvious answer in front of him.

"That matter was indeed my fault."

At last Delong finally spoke.

"But to be honest, his approach has proven to be incapable of leading teams to success in the past."

But after a turning point, Delong also expressed his deepest thoughts.

He is not Stockton, and it can even be said that he is completely different from Stockton.

Before going to the Jazz, he had unlimited firepower in high school and college, and he was a master scorer.

It was Sloan who told him that to become a qualified leader, he had to learn to sacrifice and suppress his desire to score. Only then did he become the person Sloan wanted, the second Stockton.

But it turns out that neither Stockton and Malone nor he and Boozer can succeed in that way.

So since it has been proven unsuccessful time and time again, and even Boozer chose to leave, why not choose to change?

So he felt that Sloan was a little stubborn and he wanted to change it in his own way.

It also happened to coincide with the Magic Box of Desire brought about by the decision, which made his choice too direct.

Lin Ying nodded, what Delong said was actually correct to a certain extent.

For an NBA championship team, it is too difficult to win the championship through teamwork, which is why the 2004 Pistons are mentioned again and again.

Sloan's strict and military-like system suppresses players' desire for performance to a certain extent.

Just like educating a child, you keep telling him that this is not allowed and that is not allowed, and then when you really want him to do it, what do you tell him to do?

"One question, have you ever thought about why Sloan must suppress your desires? Is it possible that he is protecting you?"

Lin Ying continued.

"Protect me?"

Delong was stunned by Lin Ying's novel statement.

Lin Ying said nothing, but looked at Delong's knees.

Delong seemed to understand somewhat what he meant.

"The drag step changes direction. Grover is also training me in this technique. I know how much burden it will put on the knees. For me, it is just one of many weapons in the arsenal, but for you,

That is the most commonly used offensive method, so imagine if you let go, like tonight, what will happen in the end?"

Lin Ying then spoke.

Delong was stunned.

He really had never thought about it this way before!

And if it were before, if someone, even Sloan, had told him this, he would have thought it was all nonsense.

If you want to control his desire to take action, just say so. All this nonsense seems very hypocritical.

But tonight was different, because he really did that, and the feeling that he was still sore and swollen even though he was wrapped in an ice pack told him that what Lin Ying said was right.

"Is he really trying to protect me?"

Delong was confirming with Lin Ying, but he seemed to be asking himself.

"I'm not Sloan. You can try to contact him, or as I just said, you should know him better than anyone else."

Lin Ying said.

After he finished speaking, Delong remained silent, as if thinking.

Lin Ying knew that he might need to think alone, so he stood up and patted Delong on the shoulder, then left the medical room.

He didn't know whether Sloan thought so, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.

But it's more likely.

Similar examples include Thibodeau and Rose.

At the beginning, the media and fans were rumoring that Thibodeau fucked Rose to death and eventually beat Rose to death.

At that time, Thibodeau received numerous criticisms.

But it wasn't until a few years later that the truth was revealed. Thibodeau had been suggesting Rose change his style of play, and it was Rose himself who insisted.

It was also years later that Rose regretted not listening to Thibodeau's advice.

Yes, how could a coach who brought out a superstar want to destroy this person?

Similar examples include Yao Ming and Van Gundy Jr.

Van Gundy Jr. asked Yao Ming to gain weight to increase his low-post dominance, but the usage time was always strictly controlled.

Therefore, Lin Ying speculated that Sloan was more likely to be.

And this is actually a psychological suggestion.

Because it is impossible to ask about Edelon’s current relationship with Sloan.

As long as you accept this reason in your heart, the problem between Delong and Sloan will naturally be solved.

As for whether it is true in the end, does it still matter?



The next day, after accepting the Nets training session, Deron did something in front of reporters:
Chapter completed!
