Basketball myth

Chapter 31 Imaginative Journalists
Well, the main team didn't play for a long time, so you are now a substitute, okay?Don't you know how much time you have to play as a substitute?It’s just over one session!
All right!There is nothing to say about the Huahua game. The main players only played for 15 minutes to warm up. In this game, 12 players played and all scored. The best performer was of course Stephenson, who scored 25 points With 3 assists and 5 rebounds, Xiaoheng had another double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Thomas' arrangement had a miraculous effect.

Of course, if there is no post-match press question and answer meeting, Thomas will be happier, "Hello, Mr. Thomas, I am a reporter from XX newspaper. Excuse me, you didn't send the main players to play in this game. Are you looking down on the current Kings? ? Is there a quarrel within you? Is it because you plan to change the starting player? Please give us a clear answer, thank you!" The initial question was so sharp, and the reporters stared at him with bright eyes. Thomas looked.

Thomas was very uncomfortable being stared at, thinking that this is lest my Nets team will not be chaotic!Asked for a pair of sunglasses from the staff behind him, put them on, and the anger in Thomas' eyes was well concealed.

Of course, in the eyes of reporters, it is irresponsible to the media. You see, in such a public place, when we asked questions, you actually put on your sunglasses first. You said, you either look down on us or you feel guilty about the answers!What a great topic!Tomorrow's report will be even more fascinating!

"First of all, I want to say that we are a young team, we are a team of young players, we will encounter a lot of problems, our starting lineup has never been fixed, in order to win, my team Will send the right players, which means my starters have not been fixed." Thomas began with a very serious voice, like a hawk protecting a young bird.

Of course, this is just a metaphor for Thomas to himself. In the eyes of the reporters, he is guilty of guilt, and raising his voice is to show that he has a high degree of guilt.

"Then, our players didn't quarrel. Our goal is to win. The relationship between the players is very good. You can inquire about our players and see what they will say! After losing the game against the Jazz, We just held a summary meeting, no player has ever criticized anyone, we are all self-criticism." You can't see that you are calling yourself!thought the reporters.

"Finally, what I want to say is that there are no underdogs in the NBA. Coach Paul's team has studied our players very much. They changed the inside line, which completely paralyzed the inside offense that we beat them last time. Fortunately, Stephenson stood up. , His breakthrough has helped the team a lot and enabled us to win this game. We tried our best in every game, and we fought for victory."

Thomas thought to himself: "Hey, it's so tiring to put on such a face. If I don't say this, how can I protect the players I really want to protect? The NBA is a business. It depends on how heavy your weight is." It's just great quality!"

Well, the good thing is that Coach Paul didn't go into the details, he just kindly cooperated with Thomas to end the reporter's Q&A quite peacefully.

Of course, the reporters would not be so kind to let go of such a good subject. First of all, the reporters guessed that the Nets have already had a lot of internal differences, and it is very likely that a trade will be made. It is very likely that it was the last time they played against the Jazz. At that time, several rookies who did not perform well.

"Runaway Locker Room", Coach Thomas paid the price of his youth.Because of his young age, the players of the Nets have begun to disobey his arrangements. Excellent coaches lose to age, and talented coaches are about to retire from the Nets?Stay tuned for the next report. (This is still normal.)
"Players forced the palace", the young coach declared his rule iron-blooded, facing the players who forced him to the palace, Thomas showed his iron-blooded side, he put the troubled players into the cold palace, he showed own determination. (Is this on Thomas' side?)
"Cold-Blooded Coach", Thomas still succumbed to the reports of our media. He released the players who had been hidden in the past. Stephenson's performance proved the media's vision. His excellence proved George's incompetence. His 2 games of 20+ It is quite a challenge for a player who averaged only 10+ per game in more than a dozen games. We should continue to protest Thomas' cold blood, don't trust cronies, but trust strength.

……

(I've come to admire the media's imagination, how about you?)

Thomas saw the reports on a plane to Denver, Colorado, with coaches and players collectively.

Well, this is also Thomas' arrangement. After seeing such a newspaper, the collective players of the Nets laughed for a minute, because the content of the report was too funny, especially the team's assistant coach and chief analyst Mr. Shelton, looking at Thomas' embarrassing face, couldn't help but pat Thomas on the shoulder haha, and couldn't help laughing, the most fun laugh ever!

"Forced", "cold-blooded" and "out of control", these words actually appear in the Nets' dictionary!so funny!Well, the players all suppressed their laughter and did not dare to speak out, because there were too many lessons learned in the past!

But the embarrassment of seeing Thomas's white face!Seeing the unscrupulous laughter of the assistant coaches, they couldn't be seduced, and they burst into laughter.What kind of punishment is there, I will talk about it later, let me laugh first!

Thomas looked at the smiles of the players, and the little depression in his heart drifted away with the wind. Seeing such smiles is when the team is most united.But seeing George and Stephenson's slightly forced smiles.

Thomas also sighed involuntarily in his heart. It is impossible for these two players to coexist in my team. It is okay for one to be poorer, but it is impossible for a player who plays at the level to still think about suppressing it.This will really produce contradictions!

……

On November 11, the Nets led by Thomas came to the home of the Nuggets, Denver in the Highlands.

This is a back-to-back game for the Nets. If the Nets hadn't changed a new coach (starting from boasting), the Nets' trip to the West would have been quite miserable.From the 15th to the 20th, 6 games in 4 days.

Hehe, you can imagine.Fortunately, the team led by Thomas only lost one game, which is still within the acceptable range.This also proves Thomas' ability!After this game against the Nuggets, you can go home, and now our players have already had the idea of ​​​​going home soon.

Of course, because of Thomas's practice of reducing the playing time of the main players, he changed the idea of ​​​​the Nets into: the main players have to fight to avenge themselves, and the substitutes have to prove their own fighting. If Thomas finds out that you are slacking off, the fight will end immediately. Thoughts, what awaits you is hell or another team's locker room!

For the future development of the team, Thomas has compromised to a certain extent. The Nets' main lineup today is Curry, Stephenson, George, Love, and Pekovic.

This is an unusual start. Of course, in the eyes of reporters, Thomas' compromise was seen. Stephenson and Pekovic were the targets of Thomas' suppression in the past.Now that they appear in the starting lineup, it proves that Thomas did suppress players before!What a great discovery for journalists.

Of course, it would be great if Nuggets coach George Karl thinks so too!Thomas is someone who is chasing a victory and doesn't care too much about gossip. The better Stephenson's data is, the higher his value will be.

But in order to prepare for this game against the Nuggets, Thomas has been preparing for a long time. The main team's game yesterday was just a warm-up. Thomas, who has been suppressing their anger, made the Nuggets bear it well.

The current Nuggets are not the Western Conference powerhouse that fought the Lakers back then, nor is it the super strong team that can create the biggest gap in the playoffs with the Hornets with Chris Paul!
Now they only have an aging backcourt and Anthony who wants to leave the team.
