After the game against the Knicks, the Celtics returned to their home ground. They would welcome a wave of four consecutive home games here, and then they would fly to the Western Conference for a five-game trip.
After that, they could spend a comfortable Christmas at home.
After all, this year's Celtics did not have a Christmas battle mission. They could rest comfortably at home and enjoy the Christmas holiday.
Before the start of the home game, Antoine Walker aggressively opened the door to Auerbach's office.
In addition to Auerbach, the head coach and general manager, there was also the team's chief assistant, Larry Bird.
Bord saw Walker and smiled." What's wrong, Antoine? I was just talking to the teacher about you." You've played well this season, with an average of 21 points and 6 rebounded per game. We all think you have a good chance of entering the All-Star reserve lineup!”
Walker's expression was ugly. He didn't answer Bord's question. Instead, he slammed his hands on the table in front of Auerbach and said,""I hope you can give me an accurate answer about my position in the team, about our future, and about how this team wants to develop!”
Bord's expression turned ugly. He was also a superstar in the Alliance back then. He was the face of the entire Alliance. When had he ever felt neglected like this?
Auerbach said calmly,"What are you trying to say, Antoine? First of all, I have to tell you that you are a very important part of our reconstruction process, so I will definitely consider your idea!”
"Trade Linlong! And that Chauncey! I don't want to play with them anymore.”Walker slammed his hands on the table again.""If you still regard me as the core of the team and the cornerstone of rebuilding, then send them away! Otherwise, I will definitely not renew my contract with the team next summer! Never!"
Bord's frown deepened. He felt that Walker was bullshitting.
He was only a second-year rookie, and he had no other honors other than the Rookie of the Year lineup. How could such a rookie threaten Auerbach and himself?
Most importantly, no matter how little one knew about football, just by looking at the team's statistics, their usefulness on the field, and their popularity, one could tell that Lin Long was definitely a more important player than Walker!
But Walker was actually here, asking the team to trade Lin Long?
When Bord looked at Walker again, there was only one word left in his mind.
"Idiots who don't know what's going on!"
Auerbach smiled." I understand. Antoine, you mean you don't want to play with Lin Long and Billups, right?" Your relationship can't be repaired?"
"That's right, sir!" " I won't try to repair my relationship with them," Walker said angrily." I don't think it's necessary!" Send them away, and I will lead the team into the playoffs! Besides the two of them, there was also Di Brown and Mccarty! I don't want to see these people again.”
Auerbach nodded." I understand. We will meet your needs, but we still need to study how to operate it. But the team will satisfy you as soon as possible. Don't worry.”
Looking at Walker, who walked out of the office with a smug look on his face, Bord asked in confusion,"Teacher, what do you mean? I don't think we need to coax or lie to him. We should let him know that this team belongs to Lin Long!”
" I'm not lying to him," Auerbach said." I'm indeed considering his proposal."”
" What?!"
Bord couldn't help but ask loudly.
He was the person on the team who was most familiar with Auerbach and knew how much Auerbach liked Lin Long.
Want Auerbach to trade for Linlong?
It wasn't impossible, but you had to bring out someone on O'Neal's level in order to move the old man's heart. Therefore, Bord absolutely didn't believe that Auerbach would give up on Linlong just because of a few words.
"Let's make a few calls. We've received some good proposals before, so we can continue to talk. Since Walker doesn't want to work with Linlong and the others, we'll satisfy him and send him away!”Auerbach looked at Bord and said calmly.
Only then did Bord understand. At the same time, he cursed himself for being stupid in his heart.
That's right! Walker didn't want to work with Linlong, and it wasn't like he had to send him away.
Sending Walker away could also solve the problem!
Walker walked into the training ground with his head held high and his head held high.
He had always thought highly of himself, but when he saw Linlong, Billups, and the others who were training hard, he couldn't be bothered with them.
After a cold snort, he went to the side to practice. In Walker's heart, there was no need to force a good relationship with these guys who were about to be sent away. The boss of the team did not need the friendship of a loser!
I wonder what kind of helpers I can get?
Jason Kidd was not bad. This guy did not steal the limelight and could pass the ball.
Or Mutumbo? This African could help him defend well and let him release himself on the offensive end.
The happy Walker had planned out a perfect blueprint for his future.
