Chapter 113 Problem Player ([-]nd update today)

The Pistons are full of players, but Carlisle has had a bit of a headache recently.

After the team started normal training, everyone else was normal, only Billups was not quite right.

When fighting in groups, no matter who gives him a pick-and-roll, he doesn't care, he only cares about individual singles; if you don't give him a cover, he keeps calling the pick-and-roll...

After a successful breakthrough, this guy will always sneer at the opponent defending inside, and it is the same when he is shooting a goal;

The atmosphere of the team was messed up by this guy, and Carlisle deliberately talked to Da Ben and Wang Dalin, hoping that they could have a good talk with Billups.

Big Ben nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Chauncey!"

Wang Dalin also said: "Rick, don't worry, we will take care of it!"

Carlisle frowned and said, "When you two talk to him, pay attention to your tone, but don't make things worse!"

Da Ben grinned and said, "Don't worry, coach, I know how to talk to him!"

Wang Dalin slandered: "You know what a fool! Look at your bulging arms, do you want to beat Billups first?"

But he said with a smile on the surface: "Chauncey is not the kind of person who makes trouble, we will definitely have a good communication with him!"

Carlisle finally relaxed his frown and said with a smile, "Well, I know that Chauncey had a bad reputation before, but I believe he is an excellent point guard and can definitely help the team, so I hope you don't reject him, and find a way to let him join our big family wholeheartedly!"

As early as the beginning of the team's assembly, Carlisle talked to the three old players of Big Ben, Atkins and Michael Curry.

In this conversation, Carlisle made it clear that Wang Dalin will be the core of the team, hoping they can support this young man and help him establish prestige in the team.

Daben and others all agreed, and they have spared no effort to maintain Wang Dalin's authority after the team assembled, so Wang Dalin has not encountered any trouble since he came to the team.

The old players like Daben have feelings for this team, they have no intention of being the boss, and Robinson and Hamilton have just joined the team this season, so naturally they have no such thoughts.

Robinson is too old and has no desire to be competitive for a long time, and Hamilton is probably convinced by Wang Dalin's 30+ triple-double performance in the regular season last season.

I have to say that the good attitude of Daben and his old players towards Wang Dalin is probably because of that game...they happened to be Wang Dalin's background board in that game.

Sometimes, the status in the world is like this, and it can only be achieved by real swords and guns!
……

On this day, after the training, Wang Dalin greeted with a smile: "Everyone, don't rush to leave, I have some small gifts for everyone here!"

Everyone gathered around, Da Ben grinned and said, "What gift? Let's make it clear first, I don't want those cheap street stalls!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "How come? Come and see, do you like it?"

He opened a bag, and saw that the bag was full of beautifully packaged small boxes with the logo of "Tiffany" on it.

It turned out that this guy signed another commercial endorsement, which is the most famous jewelry brand in the United States "Tiffany". This bag is just a gift from the merchant... There is no signing fee this time, but this bag of jewelry is not cheap.

Hamilton opened the box and saw that there was a string of platinum necklaces and a diamond pendant on it. Not to mention dozens of small diamonds, the largest main diamond must be at least 2 carats.

Obviously this necklace is worth a lot, at least tens of thousands of dollars.

Da Ben smiled and said, "Wang, this gift of yours is not cheap. Have you signed an endorsement again?"

Wang Dalin nodded and said: "Yes, I signed another endorsement recently, and I just wanted to 'seek some benefits' for everyone. How about it, do you like it?"

Da Ben smiled and said: "Of course I like it, but we are all old men, you give this thing...we can't wear it!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said: "You can take it back and give it to your wife, and if you don't have a wife, you can give it to your girlfriend... Let's just say, brother, do you like this gift?"

Da Ben smiled and said, "Of course I like it, do you like it?"

Everyone laughed and said: "I like it! Darling-Wang is awesome!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "It's good if you like it! Everyone has worked hard in training today. I will treat you tonight. Let's have a big meal first, and then go to the nightclub to have fun, how about it?"

Atkins said with a smile: "There is still a show? So what are you waiting for?"

Da Ben also smiled and said, "Okay, tonight we will mess with you, a rich man!"

Billups silently took a box of necklaces, and said lightly, "I won't go, I'm a little tired today, I want to go back early and have a rest."

Wang Dalin put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Changxi, if you don't go, we will be short of staff. No, you have to go today!"

Da Ben also smiled and said: "That's right, Chauncey, you have to go, I also want to have a good drink with you!"

Billups sneered, and said: "Okay, I'll go...but let me say yes first, I only play until 10 o'clock in the evening and I will go back!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "No problem!"

……

After eating a sumptuous meal, everyone rushed to the most luxurious nightclub in Detroit and had a good time.

In the box, Wang Dalin deliberately sat next to Billups, and said with a smile, "Chauncey, I have a question for you."

Billups took a sip of beer and asked, "What's the matter? You ask!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Who do you think is the most powerful point guard in the league right now?"

Big Ben came over at some point, and hurriedly replied, "Does this need to be said? It must be Jason Kidd!"

Billups also nodded: "Yes, I also think he is the number one point guard in the league now!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Jason is very good, but I think someone will be better than him in the future!"

Billups and Big Ben asked in unison, "Who is it?"

Wang Dalin smiled mysteriously, then pointed to Billups and said, "It's you, Chauncey!"

A blush appeared on Billups' dark face, and he hurriedly said, "King, don't talk nonsense, if the reporter finds out, they might write some articles to mock me!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Chauncey, don't look down on yourself, let me analyze it with you. First, I want to ask you, your shooting percentage is higher than Jason's, right?"

Billups froze for a moment, then said blankly, "Yes, my shooting percentage was indeed higher than his last season!"

Wang Dalin then asked: "Is your three-point shooting percentage higher than his?"

Billups nodded and said, "That's right, I made 37.6% of my three-pointers last season, much higher than him!"

Wang Dalin asked again: "You are 6 feet 3 inches tall, and he is 6 feet 4 inches tall. Except that you are a little shorter than him, your speed, jumping, and strength are similar to him. In terms of physical fitness, you are not inferior to him, right?"

Billups' eyes brightened a lot, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, my physical fitness is definitely not worse than his!"

Wang Dalin paused for a moment and asked, "Then I want to ask you, what can you do better than him? Is it the overall situation, passing skills or experience?"

Billups thought for a moment and replied, "It should be experience!"

Obviously, the 25-year-old Billups is quite confident in his overall view and passing skills.

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "So... Chauncey, think about it for yourself, is it possible for you to surpass Jason and become the number one point guard in the league in the future?"

Billups pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "That's right, Wang, after hearing what you said, I seem to have found my target right away!"

Big Ben smiled and said, "Chauncey, what Wang said is very reasonable. You will definitely become the best point guard in the league in the future, and we will definitely win the championship together!"

Billups laughed: "Yes, come on, let's have a drink... for the championship!"

"For the championship!"

After clinking glasses, the three drank it down...Of course, what Wang Dalin drank was fruit juice.

Billups wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "It's really a pleasure to be with you. I used to have a bad relationship with my teammates. You probably have heard of my past shit, right?"

This guy was selected by the Celtics with the third overall pick in the first round, but there were frequent reports of discord with his teammates in Boston, and then he was traded to Toronto, and then he was traded to Denver and Minnesota...

In the early years, Billups was indeed a "problem boy". His performance on the court in the first three seasons was not bad, but his performance has not been as good since the fourth season.

If it weren't for "parallel imports", why would the Timberwolves be so anxious to trade him away?

The Wizards' first-round pick is indeed valuable, but if Billups played the same performance as when he won the FMVP last season, would they still send him away?
Wang Dalin said with a smile: "I've heard of it, but that's over, don't think about those unhappy things anymore!"

Daben also smiled and said, "That's right, why do you keep thinking about those unhappy things in the past? I was not selected in the draft, and I still have the ball now!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Speaking of losing the election, am I the same? Changxi, you are much better off than us. Back then, you were a talent show!"

Billups said with a smile: "Traveling flowers is nothing special, don't they just call me 'parallel imports Tanhua'?"

Big Ben smiled and said, "Chauncey, let those people see how good you are this season!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "That's right, we all support you!"

Billups was inexplicably moved, poured another glass of beer and said, "Come on, don't say anything, let's go one more time!"
