Chapter 643 [Infighting Incident]

The Bulls suffered another three consecutive defeats, and what's worse was that some reporters raised trouble. Some problems at the press conference aroused the conflict between Chandler and Oden.

The two had an argument while leaving the stadium and were photographed by paparazzi, and several conversations were exposed.

Chandler said: "You are just a newcomer. Are you the one who won the championship and defended the inside in the first two seasons?"

"I don't mean that," said Oden.

"Then don't smile when you lose." Chandler said loudly.

Just a few words, without fierce conflict, but they have attracted endless imagination.

The media immediately predicted that Chandler's departure had entered the countdown. This season the Bulls will trade him in exchange for an inside line that can shoot and prevent pick-and-roll, which will change the team's current dilemma.

Chandler had a too harsh temper and couldn't help but say something. Oden recently continued to rank third in the center in the All-Star selection, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

After showing off his strength in the finals, Chandler wanted to be selected as the All-Star.

If Chandler still has the data from last season, he is likely to be selected as the All-Star, but he was injured at the start of the game and has not played much. He averaged 226 minutes per game, and his data dropped to 5 points and 76 rebounds. Naturally, there will not be many fans who voted for him.

At this time, Oden and his teammates often talked about votes, which stimulated Chandler. Oden was only 9 years old and was not mature. He didn't know what to say and didn't say anything, and he didn't expect Chandler would think he was showing off.

Oden's playing time increased to 25 minutes, which caused conflicts in these few minutes. Chandler could not stand the role player who had gone from one of the core to about 20 minutes of playing.

Skeles was a helpless move. David Lee was injured. He had not many cards in his hand. The two centers overlapped and had to stagger their playing time. There was never a double tower tactic that was a partner of two big men who could not shoot.

Greedy people are prone to jealousy. Chandler was dissatisfied with his playing time before Oden came, not to mention that now, Chandler does not want to leave the Bulls, and jealousy will cause both others and himself to lose both.

A discussion started online, and some fans thought Chandler was a hero to win the championship. He was stronger than Oden. At that time, the Bulls should have chosen Durant, better than Rollden, and a superstar would appear at the third position in the future.

Seeing Durant take 20 and say such words is a bit suspicious of being a hindsight. If it weren't for a team like Supersonics that lack scorers, Durant wouldn't have been able to get so many ball rights, which is difficult to train.

Some people also suggested that the Bulls send Chandler away immediately and cultivate the talented Oden.

In fact, Chandler is not bad at talent and has rich game experience. He is a big man who has signed a long contract. If Oden is allowed to replace him, it would be impossible for him to do better in the playoffs.

Skeles didn't want to send Chandler away. Chandler finally discussed with his agent and did not continue to be stupid. He said at the press conference that it was just a misunderstanding and that if he continued to make trouble, it would be irreversible.

The Bulls official said that this was just an ordinary quarrel, and there was no problem with the two. "Internal strife of the Bulls" is still the thing that people care about the most.

On the 4th, the Bulls' home opponent was the Knicks, and they got a chance to breathe. The player recovered his strength during the holiday.

Wang Jun, Hill and Howard discussed and offered to treat them to gather the players for a dinner.

After Wang Jun's toast, Hill mentioned the recent situation in the locker room.

"Recently, our team has encountered some difficulties, three consecutive losses, players were injured, etc. I know everyone is not feeling well, but we must restrain our emotions."

Everyone doesn't interrupt. Hill is a basketball celebrity and an old star. Everyone has to give him face.

Hill looked at Chandler and said, "I am a veteran. I have played for a longer time and I have seen it a lot, so I will talk about my thoughts here. Tyson has had a little unhappiness with Greg recently. In fact, it has nothing to do with the right to play or anything else, but the team is in poor condition recently and I can't suppress the fire in my heart. That's it."

"Yes." Chandler cannot say no, it must be made small and small. Otherwise, before the mid-term trading deadline, he may leave the Bulls, which is not expected to happen.

Leaving him will bring his reputation as a thorn player, causing internal strife between the defending champion team, and it is no small matter, and his image will be seriously damaged.

The Bulls can send him to a bad team. If they can't achieve a good record, it will also affect his next contract in the future. Even if they don't sign a big contract, he still wants to win three consecutive championships.

Hill continued: "Today we sit together and have a good chat, we have to work hard to overcome difficulties. Zhu Wan and Brevin, I have no championship, and joining the Bulls is just to realize our dreams here. We have all experienced many and have joined at least three teams. If we want to achieve good results, strength is one aspect, and the most important thing is another word. Do you know what it is?"

No one else spoke, Howard sat next to Chandler and gave him a wink, signaling him to say.

Chandler certainly knew what the word was, and said loudly like the soldiers in the army: "It's unity."

A team that is not united has never won the championship, no matter how strong the lineup is.

As the team captain, Chandler should have stood up to do peace when the team had problems, but now Wang Jun treats him. Hill is a little ashamed of this.

The coaching staff hoped he would become a locker room leader, but he never did the job well.

Hill nodded and smiled, "Greg is a newcomer, lacking experience and prone to saying the wrong things. It is normal for young people to make such mistakes. We can communicate in private and should not be excessive, nor should we be photographed by the media. Our goal this season is to win the championship and we must unite. Taking this opportunity, you two have a drink, don't blame each other, it's not a big deal."

Chandler immediately stood up, walked to Oden with a glass of wine, and said seriously: "Greg, sorry, I'm too impulsive to speak, please forgive me."

Oden had been very low-key, and quickly raised his cup and smiled, "I won't take it to heart, let's work together."

After the two of them drank, the atmosphere became eased.

This dinner was very timely. If the veteran didn't say anything and made it clear, other situations might happen in the future.

Wang Jun watched from the side and learned something.

If Hill doesn't tell him what to do, he can't handle such things well. He knows how to convince his teammates to pass the ball to him, but he won't do it well. As the core of the team, his opinion is also very critical, and any side he leans towards may play a decisive role.

Being a team core is a big idea, not just doing well with outstanding skills.

Like the Lakers who played well this season, one of the important factors is that Fisher is back. Compared with football skills, Fisher is far inferior to Kobe, but he is calm and can think about the overall situation.

Communication between players is necessary, which is also a valuable experience. One day, Wang Jun will also have to assume the role of a veteran.

Wang Jun hopes that this day can come as late as possible. He hates such things, which is too nerve-wracking and cannot concentrate on the court.

When leaving the hotel, the team arranged in advance to take photos of the players. Oden and Chandler went out with the other party's shoulders in a "good brothers" attitude.

With photos as evidence, the media can explain that the two are fine and put an end to this "internal strife" incident.
