Live broadcast, February 25 -recently, 76 player Niang was a guest of The John Kincade Show. The podcasting program talked about former teammate Ben Simmons.
Host: You won 5 more games this year than the same period last year.
Niang: really? Well, at the beginning of last season Ben Simmons hurt us a bit (Ben Simmons kind of handicapped us at the beginning of last year). I mean, I didn’t want to say it, but now do you understand what I mean?
Host: he has fallen out of basketable Nets rotation now.
Niang: Well, it’s none of my business. When you form a team, from the perspective of a general manager. I don’t know how much Benxi earned, but he is a top-salary player. So you are missing such a player in your squad. He said, “I won’t fight.” You have to find a way to let other players stand up and replace Benxi’s role, to pass, fengshui ball, rebound, defense, etc.
In addition, Niang also said that when the players did not know who played in each game and who didn’t play, and the trading deadline was approaching, everyone was worried that they would be packaged and sent away with Benxi, this will make the players feel uneasy.
Ben Simmons did not play for 76 people for psychological reasons at the beginning of last season, and 76 people also sought to trade Benxi before the trading deadline. On the day of the transaction deadline, Benxi was sent to basketable nets in a transaction with himself and harden as the main body.
