Chapter 479 The Origin of "Stabhead" Whiteside (First Update!)

And he also realized that Whiteside's brain was worse than he thought.

Although he is not bad, he has a bad brain and is also a troublesome thorn.

If this toss continues, the Pelicans may really not want him.

Whiteside finally apologized to the team at Williams' request, but it can be seen from his expression that he was really reluctant.

This kind of performance is manifested in the fact that the players took the bus back to the hotel one after another, and he stayed in the locker room alone.

Tang Tian didn't go with the team either.

He had told Demps before that he wanted to have a chat with Whiteside, and this happened to be an opportunity.

And if it doesn't work this time, he also plans to give up.

Although Whiteside's future strength will be very good, in fact, for the Pelicans, it's just this season.

As a traveler, next season's draft and free agent signing, Tang Tian's reinforcement of the team is a matter of hand, much simpler than this.

"Tell me, why did you go back to the locker room early today? There is no one else here. You have nothing to say to me."

After Tang Tian sat down, he said straight to the point.

"I can't play, it doesn't make any difference if I leave earlier or later."

Whiteside spoke.

Although Tang Tian didn't say anything, he was able to sign a contract with the team. His agent told him about Tang Tian's help, so he trusted Tang Tian.

Tang Tian froze for a moment when he heard this, is this guy really out of his mind?

"Then there is no difference between you being on this team and not being on this team?"

He looked at Whiteside and asked back.

Whiteside froze for a moment when he heard this, and then fell silent.

"You're on this team, you're part of this team, don't you know you have to behave like the team? Didn't anyone tell you not to do that?"

Seeing Whiteside's reaction, Tang Tian was a little annoyed.

Whiteside shook his head.

"..."

Tang Tian suddenly felt that some people became thorns because they love to make troubles, but in Whiteside's case, they really have a bad mind.

"When I was in Sacramento, I saw some players do it, but the coaching staff didn't say anything."

Whiteside went on to defend himself.

When Tang Tian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was no longer angry.

Speaking of which, he was a coach in his previous life and had seen many players like this.

The growth environment of a player will also determine his future to a large extent.

For example, he is also the second place in the list. Durant can have the most firing rights in his rookie season in the Thunder, but Milicic sits on the Pistons bench.

Kwame Brown might have grown up very well if he hadn't played under Jordan, and Bennett might have been a good role player if he wasn't selected as the No. 1 pick.

These encounters, and even the actions of these teammates as Whiteside said, will affect the players' mentality and thus their future.

After all, players are human beings, not machines.

"I don't care what your reason is, or you were late to practice last time because someone set an example for you in Sacramento, but Hassan, I just want to remind you of one thing right now."

Tang Tian continued.

He said it emphatically, then looked straight at Whiteside.

"You're less than six days away from leaving the NBA again."

Whiteside was visibly taken aback when he heard this.

"The most that the NBA provides to a player is two ten-day short contracts. With your current performance, it is impossible for the management to renew your contract."

Tang Tian made his words very clear, and Whiteside's eyes changed.

"So when I say 6 days, it's really 6 days. If you can't catch it, just continue to wander around in overseas leagues."

"I don't want to go to Lebanon again."

Whiteside immediately spoke instinctively. He had encountered a terrorist attack when he was playing in Lebanon, and he would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life.

"The development alliance is also good. In just a few years, you can sit on the bus for a lifetime."

Tang Tian continued.

The wages of the Development League are low, and they don't have planes like the NBA. No matter how far away, they are served by buses until you vomit.

"Don, I want to stay in the NBA."

Whiteside said seriously.

Sister, I finally said this. If it weren't for the fact that the Pelicans are really weak inside, he wouldn't have the time to talk hard here.

"But the coach has never trusted me. The playing time given to me was very small and fragmented before, and now the active list does not let me in."

Whiteside went on to say it with bitterness when he said it.

"Do you really think Williams' prejudice against you was due to the lack of playing time before?"

Whiteside nodded.

Seeing Whiteside's reaction, Tang Tian really wanted to jump up and give him a chestnut. This guy is really out of his mind.

"You foul every two minutes, tell me, if I were Williams, how would I give you playing time?"

Tang Tian asked back.

Whiteside faltered for a long time before he could utter a decent word.

"Forget it, let me help you one last time."

Tang Tian said as he took out his tablet and threw it to Whiteside.

"There are some details on how to control fouls."

He went on to say that he sorted it out himself to help Davis.

Davis is cute, but has a high golf quotient and a good understanding. It took half a season to basically control the foul.

For Whiteside, his brain can only look at the good fortune.

"I can't help you other than this, you only have 6 days left to impress Coach Williams."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

This is really the last thing he can help, and he is not Whiteside's own father, and if the latter is not good for himself, he has no time to bother.

The next day, the Pelicans flew to Washington for an away game against the Wizards.

The Wizards have been in decline for several years since the disintegration of the Trident.

Now Walbeer's double guns are formed, coupled with Ariza, Gortat and other outstanding role players, the current record ranks fifth in the Eastern Conference, and their strength is not bad.

The two teams played until the fourth quarter to decide the winner.

Evans grabbed offensive rebounds consecutively beside Gortat, and Tang Tian and Davis scored consecutively.

The Pelicans won the Wizards in waves, ending the team's two-game losing streak.

Tang Tian scored another 35 points in this game, Davis also scored 20+10, and Evans continued his rebounding idiot performance with 4 points and 15 rebounds.

The Wizards' two-shot performance was mediocre, but Trevor Ariza scored 6 three-pointers and scored 23 points.

Although it is called Tiezha by the fans, when it is accurate, there are 3 and D, and it is a very good puzzle player.

Whiteside still has not entered the active list. After this game, he has only the last 5 days, or the last two games, of his career with the Pelicans.

One against the Mavericks, one against the Kings.

ps: There is another chapter later.
