Chapter 269
“One State Unite By Basketball, Now C Us Rise!”

During the 2-minute intermission, a high-pitched and loud voice suddenly sounded from the Knicks bench, which immediately attracted the attention of fans and the Spurs.

The meaning of this sentence is: basketball makes us unite, now watch me rise!

At this time, the expressions on the faces of the fans were extremely complicated.They still remember that before the start of the season, the management confidently assured them that the new season will be the team's best season in recent years.

They chose to trust, but only one month later, what the team showed them was the longest losing streak in team history.After losing to the 76ers at home, they swallowed a humiliating nine-game losing streak and finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Victory seemed out of reach. Fans didn't know why. All they saw was Knicks infighting, locker room discord...

They even heard Anthony's confusion from ESPN TV: "I think we go to the court every night just to lose the game. Sometimes the game has not even started, and we feel that we are going to lose. This feeling Really bad."

"To be honest, I don't know how to unite the whole team as a whole to strive for victory. There is no joy in playing now..."

The fans were disappointed, and they began to scold the management, the coaching staff and even the players.

However, the fans are often ruthless. Although they are disappointed with the team, they are still supporting the team in their own way.

At this moment, when they heard the shouts of the players, they suddenly realized that the team had changed, and the gossip news might not have been heard for a long time.

Unknowingly, the team has gone from the bottom of the East at the beginning of the season to the eighth in the East now, and the coveted playoffs are just around the corner.

The fans don't understand the ball, they don't understand why the team has such a big change.But they know the ball, and they know what they should do now.

“One State Unite By Basketball, Now C Us Rise!”

“One State Unite By Basketball, Now C Us Rise!”

In an instant, the sound of neat slogans resounded throughout the arena, over and over again, one after another.All the fans opened their throats, their faces flushed, and they contributed a little bit to the team.

Hearing this familiar but unfamiliar slogan, Barkley and Smith, who were on the scene, were shocked and seemed to see the past.

They were still players at that time, and every critical moment of the game, fans in every arena would shout the slogan that belonged to their own team.

It is this small slogan, whenever the fans shout in unison, it will not only improve the morale of the players in the team, but also cause a certain deterrent to the opponent.

The fact is also the same. On the Spurs bench, all the players looked solemn and dignified, and they all felt tremendous pressure.

Damn, how could I forget him?
Looking at the Knicks standing in the center of Anthony, Ginobili rubbed his temples with a headache.He is very aware of Anthony's ability, and the Knicks are now on the rise, this fourth quarter may be difficult.

At this time, Borrego thought about it and asked: "Manu, Cameron almost rested for a quarter. It seems that the Knicks coaching staff may have planned to let him control the fourth quarter. What should we do now?"

"I do not know."

Ginobili shrugged helplessly. For a player of Anthony's level, as long as he is physically fit, it is difficult for anyone to guard him.

Besides, the Knicks are in full swing now, and Anthony may explode, so it will be even more difficult to deal with.

"All right!"

Borrego sighed, obviously he had no solution to Anthony's threat, and then said, "The team members are a bit suppressed now, aren't you going to say something?"

Ginobili heard the words, turned his head to look at Yang Ke, and saw that he was also shocked by the shouts of the home fans, and frowned suddenly.

After thinking about it, Ginobili gave Borrego the tactical drawing board in his hand, walked up to everyone, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Guys, don't be fooled by this illusion! You know, Nick Stanley continues to demonstrate that success in New York is always short-lived."

Hearing this, Diaw, Green and other old players laughed, because they suddenly remembered that the Knicks would cheer up and explode for a period of time every season.

But every time it comes to the critical moment of the playoffs, the Knicks will lose the chain inexplicably, and they cannot be regarded as a qualified strong team.

Ginobili is very reassuring about the psychological state of his old partners. They may feel nervous and uneasy, but as long as they are adjusted externally, they can temporarily suppress those negative emotions.

Then he looked at Yang Ke, who smiled reluctantly, and Ginobili shouted: "Hey, Yang, are you scared?"

"No, just a little uncomfortable."

Yang Ke shook his head and raised his hand to run through his hair.He has never played in the NCAA, and he has never experienced this kind of basketball atmosphere, and he has never seen this kind of scene in the usual NBA regular season, so the pressure was a bit high for a while.

Ginobili was not surprised by this, and immediately said: "This is basketball, this is the NBA, the atmosphere of the playoffs will be more depressing than this, you have to learn to adapt."

Yang Ke nodded thoughtfully, and he also knew that he had to adapt as soon as possible, otherwise, once the playoffs started, he would drag the team back.

Ginobili continued: "Young, basketball is round. Please remember that the game is fickle, but the result is always in the hands of the players. External factors will only affect the players, not the process of the game."

"I understand."

Speaking of which, Yang Ke suddenly changed the subject, "However, Manu, I heard this passage on TV. It should be about football, right?! How did you get involved in basketball?"

Ginobili was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yang Ke who was smiling, and he reacted, feeling relieved immediately.

Yang Ke's words were very cold and bad, but it made others feel his relaxation.

After chatting with the players for a while, guessing that the break time is almost here, Ginobili turned his head to look at another rookie in the team, and said, "Kawhi, get ready, wait for the fourth At the beginning of the quarter, you go and replace Green."

"Ok!"

Leonard responded, and he also realized that he might play, so he took off his coat early and did some preparatory exercises, so that he can play directly later.

"Guys, work hard in the fourth quarter, the victory of this game will eventually belong to us!" With the last words of encouragement, Ginobili turned around and walked back to the coaching staff.

Returning the tactical drawing board to Ginobili, who has been paying attention to Borrego on the player's side, sighed in a low voice: "Compared with you, I realized how immature Yang is as a leader."

Ginobili smiled, then leaned towards Borrego, and said in a low voice, "Coach, ask the technical staff to collect more information about the fourth quarter later, the old man will use it. We didn't Gotta win."

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
