Basketball myth

Chapter 35 A bet that made the Nuggets unlucky

"Matthews, the target of your defense, the breakthrough is very characteristic of you. This is the first gift I have given you. Look at him and think about your own path. Of course, defeating him is a part of yourself. A big breakthrough, even if you beat yourself, let me see your progress! Dude."

Matthews would never forget what Thomas said. Looking at Lawson, Matthews felt strength in his tired body. (Of course you may have forgotten their horror journey of 6 days and 4 games.)
"I see such players and such fighting spirit. I really can't imagine that such a team will be in civil strife? I think the young rookie coach Thomas must have graduated in psychology. His language is very good at disturbing everyone's vision. This is what old foxes are like. It's very difficult to do, and many people have been deceived! It seems that young coaches have advantages that others don't have! Well, the cohesion of the current Nets is really great!" Johnson said with emotion as he watched the performance of the Nets' bench. said.

"Yeah, I think Carl thinks the same way! How much does Thomas know about his players? How much does he know about him? Every step Thomas takes is where Carl is uncomfortable. This is already Assi How many blocks did K get?"

"Ty Lawson obviously stepped into the trap that the Nets prepared for him! Coach Thomas must be a coach who has done a lot of homework. It seems that on the surface, the young head coach is likely to be the best head coach this season. I'm already a candidate, and I've already won votes for him!" Van Gundy made a rare joke of his own.

Why do you say that about Lawson?Of course it's because of the Nets' defense. For a young player, especially Lawson, he doesn't have many options when facing a player who is about the same size as him.

First, break through the basket.But the route Matthews gave him is very clear. His breakthrough route is where Asik is ready, but the first time he was blocked, he was unprepared. What about the second time?
Matthews only gives you one way for charging and fouling. If you want to disguise yourself and rely on your body to gain breakthrough space, there is no way. Of course, pass the ball casually.What about the third time?The ball passed to JR was cut off by Allen, and he quickly scored.

Second, Lawson's newly practiced emergency stop shot, unfortunately, Matthews, who restricted Lawson's breakthrough route from the side, grasped the time well.Already covered the second risk!Of course, Matthews' hard-working performance was for Lawson's third choice!

Well, isn't there a third option here, a three-pointer!Fortunately, Lawson scored 2 three-pointers. I think this can be regarded as a surprise for the Nuggets, otherwise the gap in the score will be even greater.

Matthews, who was almost one step away from Lawson, faced Lawson's three-point shot. Matthews thought strangely in his heart: "Quick, how many more shots? Only then can we make it! I will never defend your three-pointer." Points, quick shot."

All the players of the Nets were thinking together in their hearts.

Of course, if you let Lawson admit this, let all the Nets players admit it, they will never admit it.Otherwise, it would be a big trouble, a terrible trouble!

If Lawson's shooting is still really accurate, Lawson remembered what the coach said: "It's okay, if he scores 5 three-pointers. If he loses this game, it will be mine, and I will give you three days off." ,how?"

McGrady shook his head when he heard it. The encouraged players, behind McGrady's not-so-broad shoulders, quickly moved to line up behind him, and then shook their heads in a tacit understanding.

Then I heard McGrady say: "Coach, we don't care about the three-day holiday, (really?) Our decision is that if your bet loses, you have to accept each of our 12 players for one day of training! You must obey the day Commanding the players! Of course it is just a matter of training, you have to agree unconditionally! This is our joint decision!" Before dying, he did not forget to pull one, no, it was all backed up.

Seeing such a situation, Thomas felt helpless. After thinking about it for a long time, he thought about it, and said with an idea: "Hey, it seems that my prestige is not that high. Look, you all dare to resist me, (if all this It’s a resistance!) Okay! Who told me that I’m the most democratic coach? Then let’s rule democratically! There are 12 of you in total! Right! My assistant tactical coach, nutritionist, trainer, and shooting assistant Coaches, data analysts... where are you?" Thomas said arrogantly, pointing at the players triumphantly.

"Tell them, your decision! We are the most democratic, aren't we? Well, how about I give them 3 days off, and you 5 days? The bet is so settled. Guys, get ready to compete!" Thomas took it for granted that he had achieved the standard of the bet.Ready to leave the dugout and head to the court!
But what a pity!

"Coach, they collectively agreed with our decision, and now the vote is 24:1, you lose!" Finally, the cute kid Curry said while pulling Thomas's clothes. (Fuck, you're writing again—where are we going?)
"Coach, your bet should be changed to one of us players training you for a day! This is the judgment of our democracy! The bet is established for the coach." In the end, Stephenson said, who was most desperate.

Thomas opened his mouth in surprise, looked at all the people in the room speechlessly, pointed at each of them, and finally nodded speechlessly after listening to Stephenson's words!Agreed to the gamble!

Thomas thought bitterly and darkly, "Damn, I don't believe it. Lawson's three-pointers will really score 5. Once he scores, I will admit it! But, guys, you just wait for me Let’s learn a lesson! Am I so easy to cheat!”

The players jumped up excitedly when they saw Thomas's nod, and happily slapped each other's palms, as if they had already won the victory!I have forgotten the tragedy when I was training in Thomas' hands!What a bunch of simple-minded idiots!But I am happy, you care about me!
(What a horrible suppression! I would rather be punished in training later, but let it out first! The players feel like they are about to be liberated! Do you feel it?)
This is the West, a society that attaches great importance to contracts. If the words spoken are not fulfilled, the prestige of the coach will suffer a considerable blow!Even if Thomas' prestige is unmatched by the Nets now. (Except for the boss, of course, if you look at who makes what list, the boss must be rejected internally first.)
However, how could a person who was born to value credibility break a small bet!Emphasis on credibility is Thomas's rule of life!

……

Back to the game, maybe the resentment of the players felt heavenly. Ty Lawson really scored the third goal, but a bigger resentment directly caused Ty Lawson to leave the field. It's time for the main players to play!
Seeing that the hope of victory was disappearing, the five main players began to perform crazily. If the suspense could be ended earlier, it would be time for the substitutes to play. By then, Lawson would definitely have a lot of three-pointers.

The coach didn't say anything about the shooting percentage, as long as he made 5 three-pointers, the current score is 53:42 and we lead by more than 10 points, work harder!

Anyway, after this game, we can rest for 2 days and return to the home court. Our physical strength must be fine.This is the thought caused by such a great resentment!

The players of the Nets looked at each other's eyes, exchanged eyes very seriously, and even started to press the defense?

"Coach Thomas, is this going to end the battle quickly? This is a bit of looking down on the Nuggets! Arranging the main players to start a full-court tight defense, what a bold coach! I don't know, are there any Nuggets players?" Such courage! When there are 3 minutes left in the second quarter, I wonder what they will do?"

Facing the crazy pressing defense of the Nets, Johnson said in surprise, if he knew that the players of the Nets were only because of a bet, what would he think?
Maybe you will be envious!Because in the league, such a young, united, aggressive team that will do its best for an entertainment bet is the only one in the league.

If you ask a coach, just let you train with a player for a day and complete a game.Then, all your players will unleash the greatest enthusiasm to complete a game, do you agree?

I think ninety-nine out of [-] would agree, except young Thomas who was a bit too much!There is no such word as "envy" in his mind now, he just gritted his teeth, pouted and watched his players start to perform crazily!
