The proud Ron Artest.
The arrogant Baron Davis.
And those DNA players united by the championship victory.
The first day of combined practice.
Even the re-arranged lockers in the dressing room reminded Qin Yue...
This team has beco a brand-new team because of an accidental championship.
These changes, Qin Yue cannot hastily judge as good or bad.
They could be positive, but they could also be negative.
Currently, including him, there are as many as 7 DNA players in the Warriors.
These increasingly united DNA players can certainly help the Warriors secure more victories, but conversely, you could also interpret it as...
The Warriors, placing more and more importance on lineage, will gradually beco an extrely exclusive team.
And usually, the order of the lockers in the NBA locker room also represents the composition of a team and the status of players within the team.
During the pre-season training camp, Qin Yue noticed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, next to his locker symbolizing the Head of the Family of the Warriors...
Almost all were players with Warriors lineage.
Is it that Davis, who is always proud and ambitious, and Artest, who constantly talks about toughness and iron will, dare not take the spot closer to Qin Yue’s locker?
Yes, they dare not.
Because with Richardson, Deng Liwei, Murphy, and Jack leading the Warriors DNA series, not only are they all championship contributors like them...
But... their sa lineage as Qin Yue decides that when they take the initiative to change the order of the Warriors’ locker room, even Davis and Artest must consider whether it is an arrangent from Qin Yue.
Davis and Artest can certainly ask Qin Yue face to face, but...
The point is not Qin Yue’s answer, but that Ah Tai and Davis cannot risk angering half the team to restore their original locker order.
Qin Yue—this top pick handpicked by the Golden State Warriors, this most legendary Rookie in NBA history, this NBA icon just after completing his Rookie season, has long established supre authority within the Warriors.
No one dares to anger the dragon king within the Warriors, so when those Warriors players with the sa lineage actively choose to lean towards him...
How dare Artest and Davis utter half a word of defiance?
This is precisely the terrifying aspect of DNA culture, the glory Qin Yue brought to the Warriors will also benefit all the Warriors DNA players, making them naturally superior within the Warriors.
Over ti, they will form a highly exclusive group due to common interests and reject newcors from joining to share the spoils.
Moreover, Qin Yue cannot even solve this problem.
Because... he is indeed the biggest beneficiary of the Warriors DNA culture.
However, in the short term, Qin Yue does not yet need to focus his energy on solving this problem.
After all, the historical "Class of ’92 Red Devils" and the "Curry Soup" in his mory have proven with their successes that the current Warriors, with most of their DNA players in their pri, will unite closely around him due to their sa lineage and always maintain a sufficient desire to win, fighting alongside him for one championship after another.
The excellent form exhibited by Richardson, Deng Liwei, Murphy, and others during the pre-season training camp has already fully demonstrated this.
Currently, the Warriors are in an era of enjoying the benefits of DNA culture.
Qin Yue is well aware that the issue the team must currently address is Artest.
For this, Qin Yue did not show favoritism towards Ah Tai.
Instead, after naming Barnes for his tactical discipline, he pulled the extrely aggrieved Artest into the locker room.
This is definitely the most uncomfortable day Ron Artest has ever had.
Since being traded to the Warriors, he has made nurous sacrifices every night for the team’s victory.
His overall shooting percentage last season was indeed only 39.9%.
But the free throws he earned through battles every ga, didn’t they relieve the pressure on Qin Yue in offensive tasks?
Moreover, in the finals, if it weren’t for his stepping up, how could Wade collapse exhausted at every critical mont?
So, Ah Tai couldn’t comprehend...
Why, for rely violating tactical arrangents a few tis during training sessions, was he publicly criticized by a new recruit?
Even later, the team leader he always recognized nad this new recruit for praise.
Artest felt like he couldn’t fit in with the Warriors anymore.
This had nothing to do with changes in the team’s tactical system.
It’s just that Artest felt his honor at the Warriors was stripped away, his face beca worthless with the defending champions.
If Qin Yue’s way of appeasing Barnes earlier was fair and convincing, then the feeling Artest had at that ti was aggrieved and desolate.
"Go ahead, do you want to shoot the horse when the hunting is done or hide the bow when all the birds are killed?"
In the locker room, looking up at Qin Yue, knowing he definitely couldn’t overpower him, Artest curled up and said, feeling wronged.
Seeing this, Qin Yue did not rush to get to the main issue.
Instead, he had a heart-to-heart with Artest.
The content of this heart-to-heart was called reminiscence.
"Good thing you rember in that Rockets ga I stood up to ’Big-Yao’ for you multiple tis. You have no idea how strong that guy is!"
"Don’t ntion it, in that subsequent ga against the Lakers, every ti you threw a trash talk at Kobe, he’d retaliate towards . That guy’s a real bastard, only daring to take it out on !"
