After Dazhi finished beating Te'Lon Hill, he shrugged at the referee and then left the court on his own initiative.
The referee was confused. Is he so conscious?
However, what should be blown must be blown. In addition to Dazhi being expelled, Auntie was also whistled for a technical foul.
Of course, Old Hill was dissatisfied. Auntie was obviously an accomplice. No, he was even more hateful than Dazhi. If he hadn't let Dazhi whip him, how could he have suffered such humiliation?
Cheeks was so angry that he was angry not with Auntie and Dazhi, but with Old Hill.
He was just trying to build a good relationship with Lin Yu so that he could get some benefits from Lin Yu in the future, but this happened on the field.
Fortunately, Hill was new to the team and was not familiar with his Philadelphia 76ers teammates, so no further conflicts occurred.
Lin Yu could only replace the old Curry on the bench, and then let McGrady play the fourth position.
The Wizards backcourt on the court became Nash and Curry. These two were separated by Iverson. Fortunately, Kobe and Tracy McGrady's offense was sharp enough, and Auntie could also protect them well at the basket. Rebounds, so the Wizards finally won the game.
101:92, a small victory of 9 points.
Iverson had a great time tonight, scoring 49 points.
Kobe Bryant scored 33 points, Tracy McGrady scored 27 points, and Big Mom had 13 points and 15 rebounds.
After returning to the inside, Auntie's combat effectiveness is much stronger than when she was with the Knicks.
In fact, it’s not the fault that the Knicks used the wrong aunt, but that the Knicks are in a special situation. They previously had Ewing and Oakley. If they want these three to start at the same time, they can only let aunt play at No. 3. position, because the other two cannot play the third position.
Now that the Wizards are here, Lin Yu has no one available. Auntie returns to the basket where she is most comfortable, and naturally performs better.
During the handshake session after the game, Lin Yu first shook hands with Cheeks.
"Mo, I'll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow morning, don't forget." Lin Yu said with a smile.
Cheeks nodded quickly, "Okay, then I'll wait for you at the hotel."
"By the way, Lin, I'm really sorry about what happened tonight. Teilon has just joined our 76ers, and his actions can only represent him personally."
"If you are willing, I can trade Teilon to you tonight without any chips."
Lin Yu waved his hand, did he really take himself as the enemy?
Hill has a big contract and is a former All-Star power forward. After being slapped by Oakley, his data began to decline significantly. When he was slapped by Ma Jian again, he was almost useless. .
Now the old Hill is a high-paid but incompetent guy, who would be willing to spend money on him.
Not to mention not wanting chips, Lin Yu still has to think about it even if he offers a first-round pick.
"It doesn't matter. Conflicts on the field are inevitable, and they are not malicious and hurtful." Lin Yu waved his hands and said nonchalantly.
He really didn't take Tailon to heart. This guy just had a bad mouth and didn't really cause any substantial harm to the Wizards players. He slapped him twice and was able to vent his anger.
After agreeing with Cheeks to leave for New York tomorrow, Lin Yu chatted with Iverson for a while.
Iverson always felt that the last time Lin Yu beat Larry Brown on the sidelines was for himself. When he saw Lin Yu, his eyes lit up.
He actually wanted to play under Lin Yu, but he also knew that Lin Yu didn't need him at all. Do the Wizards lack defenders? There is no shortage at all.
Nash, Kobe, McGrady, Billups, Carter and Pierce are on the bench.
Iverson could only keep this idea deep in his heart.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Yu drove to pick up Cheeks from the hotel, and then took a plane to New York.
This year's coaches union election conference will be held in New York.
The coaches union is not as wealthy as the players union and has its own headquarters building. The coaches union rents several rooms in the building, and three employees share an office and a conference room.
After Cheeks led Lin Yu into the conference room, Lin Yu even suspected that he had arrived at the vegetable market.
The room, which was only about forty square meters in total, was packed to the brim with fifty people. There were seats for the more senior ones, while the more junior coaches or assistants could only stand.
Riley stood on the narrow stage and looked stunned when he saw Lin Yu walking in.
"Lin Yu, what are you doing here? You have been expelled from the membership and you are not welcome here!" Riley glared at Lin Yu coldly.
When Lin Yu walked into this conference room, Riley already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Lin Yu glanced at Riley, then smiled gently and said, "Mr. Riley, you don't have the final say whether you welcome me or not. I think there are so many people here, there must be someone who will welcome me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Carl waved to Lin Yu, "Hey, Lin, I welcome you, come sit here with me."
Lin Yu shrugged towards Riley, spread his hands and said, "Look, isn't there someone who welcomes me?"
"go out!"
"You are not qualified to enter this meeting room. I am the chairman of the coaches union and I will not allow you to appear here."
Riley continued to scold Lin Yu angrily.
Lin Yu laughed heartily, "No, today is the election. You are no longer the leader of the coaches union, Mr. Riley, why don't we guess who can win you in the election."
"I guess it's Mr. Paul Westhead, what do you think?"
After saying that, Lin Yu walked directly towards Old Carl.
There was no seat next to Karl Lao. The assistant coaches he brought were still standing. Grizzlies coach Brian Hill was sitting next to Karl Lao. His seniority was not very high. He knew that Lin Yu and his immediate boss Stu -Jackson has a good relationship and is thinking of simply giving up his seat to Lin Yu.
How could Lin Yu sit in this seat? It was up to Brian Hill to decide how he should behave in the future. He quickly pushed Brian Hill back into his seat.
"It's fine if I just stand." Lin Yu simply stood in the middle of the conference room, facing Riley on the stage.
Riley felt a cramp in his chest. He was very reluctant to see Lin Yu. If possible, he didn't even want to play any game against the Wizards.
Every time I see Lin Yu, nothing good always happens in the end.
This time he had an ominous premonition. Looking at Lin Yu's posture, it was obvious that he was here to disgust him.
Moving out Paul Westhead, who on the scene didn’t know the relationship between Riley and Westhead. He was Riley’s mentor, and he was the mentor who was stabbed in the back by Riley.
Originally, Riley didn't care much about the position of chairman of the coaches union, but after Lin Yu came, if he just gave up, his reputation in this league would definitely plummet in the future.
He wanted to call the security personnel to kick Lin Yu out, but unfortunately he suddenly remembered that there were no security personnel in this shabby coaching union.
Taking a deep breath, Riley was silent on stage for a minute, then prepared a draft and began to list the contributions he had made to the coaches union over the years.
This is Riley trying to get votes for himself.
Lin Yu directly interrupted Riley's request for credit with a sneer.
"Dear Mr. Chairman, according to you, you have made such a great contribution to the coaches union, how come we can only sit in such a small conference room?"
"The Players Association has a whole building. How do you become the chairman? Why don't we coaches even have a decent headquarters?"
"There is also a players union that can negotiate salary income with employers. What do you do for a living? Many assistant coaches' salaries are only more than 100,000 US dollars. Players can have a basic salary of 280,000 US dollars. Why can't assistant coaches and coaches set a basic salary?"
"You guys are really thick-skinned. You haven't done anything for so many years, but you still have the nerve to say how much you have contributed to the coaches union."
Lin Yu stood directly in the audience, pointing at Riley's nose and scolding.
Among the dozens of people at the scene, most of them were teaching assistants. When they heard Lin Yu's words, they were shocked at first. They didn't expect Lin Yu to be such a reckless man and not give any face to Riley in front of so many people. Keep.
Moreover, Lin Yu is not only a coach, he is also the boss, the owner of the league, and he actually takes the initiative to speak out for the workers!
He is very different from those capitalists...
"Well said! Why can our coaches only get such a small salary? We also demand a minimum salary!" Cheeks, who came to New York with Lin Yu, hurriedly supported Lin Yu.
With his initiative, most of the coaches and assistant coaches with meager salaries responded.
Lin Yu is right. Players can ask for an increase in their basic salary. What's wrong with the coach? Not to mention getting as high a salary as a player, at least the basic salary needs to be raised, right? Even if you mention the basic salary of 300,000 U.S. dollars, isn't that just free money?
"Yes, we must ask for a salary increase. Why can we only earn so much money?"
"I only have 140,000 US dollars a year. After taxes, how can I support my family? I still rent a house and have to drive at least an hour and a half to the training ground every day!"
"The players with the lowest salary in the team are twice as much as me. The players all wear Rolex, but I can only wear a Casio electronic watch!"
When Lin Yu saw the assistant who shouted that he could only wear an electronic watch, he laughed in his heart. It would be nice to have a Casio to wear it. At least he didn't let you wear a little genius phone watch.
But if there really was a little genius phone watch, in this day and age, it would probably be worth much more than a Rolex.
"I vote for Lin Yu and let him be our chairman!"
"Lin Yu!"
"Lin Yu!"
In the small conference room, most of the teaching assistants were shouting Lin Yu's name. This was related to their vital interests, so of course they shouted hard.
Riley felt a twinge of angina again and decided to be tough. He said that if he could be re-elected, he would negotiate with the league management to set a minimum salary for coaches.
It's a pity that he really can't be strong-willed, because he doesn't have the slightest certainty about this matter.
"Lin Yu, everyone can say nice things. If you can increase the salary of the coach, what can I do if I give up this position to you?"
Riley is indeed an old fox. He directly used provoking methods on Lin Yu. In his opinion, what Lin Yu can't do, can you, Lin Yu, do it?
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu laughed loudly, "I really can't raise the coach's salary, but there are people on the scene who can do it."
Everyone at the scene looked puzzled. Who could do something that even Lin Yu couldn't do?
"who is it?"
Seeing that the scene was getting a little cold, Cheeks quickly spoke. His role tonight was similar to that of a cheerleader.
"Paul Westhead!" Lin Yu's words were so loud that everyone was stunned.
The most surprised person may be Westhead himself. His current expression is like that of Ben Boba who was ordered by Nine-Headed Insect to kill the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk.
Increase coaching salaries? How could I have that ability? If I had that ability, I wouldn't have been stabbed in the back by Riley back then.
He quickly looked at Lin Yu with a helpless expression.
Lin Yu slowly walked to him and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
"I am fully confident that we will be able to promote the establishment of a minimum salary for coaches."
Westhead looked struggling. He was a little doubtful whether Lin Yu could do such a difficult thing. After all, it was taking money from the boss's wallet, so it couldn't be that easy.
But he also knew that this was his only chance to regain his face from Riley. If he rejected Lin Yu this time, he might not be able to avenge Riley's backstabbing until he died of old age.
"good!"
"I did it!"
Westhead summoned his courage and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Bah!" Lin Yu clapped. He was really afraid that old Westhead would run away. Fortunately, his resentment towards Riley was deep enough for him to stand up bravely.
Lin Yu actually has no interest in the coaches union. If he wants to be the leader of the coaches union, it will be easy. He just nodded and he can take the position smoothly.
However, he did not despise this position at all. The reason why he came here today was partly to make Riley look bad and to help Westhead avenge himself more than ten years ago.
On the other hand, Lin Yu wants to make good friends with these assistants.
It sounds like Lin Yu wants to make good friends with these assistant coaches, which is a bit incredible. After all, he is too lazy to pay attention to the coaches of many teams.
However, in Lin Yu's view, there are many benefits to having a good teaching assistant and the cost is low.
The advantage is naturally the various voting in the future, such as the All-Star substitute voting. Fans vote for the All-Stars, and only the starters are selected. The substitute All-Stars are voted by the coaches. Don’t use bean bags as dry food. Assistant coaches are also included. coach.
In addition, there are many honors in the regular season, such as the best defensive team, and assistant coaches also have voting rights.
Lin Yu came forward tonight to help all assistant coaches increase their salaries. As long as you are a normal person, you will definitely be grateful to Lin Yu. When it comes time to vote in the future, Lin Yu's players will naturally take advantage.
In Lin Yu's view, since he has selected these players, even if the purpose in many cases is not for personal use, but to enrich them and trade them, he must be responsible for them. At least he cannot let them get worse after they are in his hands. That level under normal circumstances.
And making friends with many assistant coaches can be regarded as a small gift to the players, but this gift cannot be stated clearly.
In addition, these assistant coaches are the reserve army of the coach, and many of them will be able to take up the position of coach in the future. This is not a good relationship.
The longer Lin Yu stays in this alliance, the more he realizes the importance of connections.
"Congratulations Mr. Westhead on becoming our new leader!"
"Under the leadership of Mr. Westhead, our coaches union will surely get better and better."
Lin Yu applauded and cheered for Westhead.
Everyone also saw the scene where Lin Yu was whispering to Westhead just now, and they wondered why Lin Yu was not the leader and instead promoted Westhead.
But no matter what, now that Lin Yu has come forward, the salary increase has been settled.
Everyone also clapped and cheered along with Lin Yu.
Riley's face was ashen. He could tolerate anyone taking over from him except Lin Yu and Westhead. Now that he saw Westhead enjoying the cheers of the audience, his head felt dizzy and his breathing became difficult.
He knew that there was no point in re-election. Most of the assistant coaches at the scene were supporting Westhead. No matter how he chose, he could not win against Westhead.
He snorted coldly and left the meeting room directly.
"Wait! Don't leave!" Lin Yu quickly stopped Riley.
"Lin Yu, don't be too arrogant. People who are too arrogant will never end well!" Riley said through gritted teeth.
Lin Yu grinned, showing his neat white teeth, "I agree with your statement. Rampant people will indeed not end well."
"But that is an incompetent but rampant person. I don't think I am an incompetent person."
"I think you'd better wait, because Mr. Westhead will expel you from your membership next. If you leave, we will have to send you a written notice, which is too troublesome."
"What do you think?"
Riley pushed aside Lin Yu who was blocking him. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. He wished that terrorists would fly a plane into this building and kill everyone in this conference room. !
If Gentry and others knew about his idea, they would probably cry out for injustice. He and Lin Yu were not from the same group, but they had no chance to speak just now.
I don’t know if Riley was poisonous. Two years later, the building was really hit, which was the 911 incident...
