"Coach Van Gundy made a crucial substitution for the Thunder to regain control of the game, and Wade worked hard, but he lacked helpers around him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoPeople say that the Heat may be at the bottom of the East this season, although it is a joke, but I think if it weren't for Wade, this sentence would really be fine. Charles Barkley now has to admit that Van Gundy is also improving with the Thunder's group of youngsters.

Pat Riley needed some help for Dwayne, and after Van Gundy put Durant at the No. 4 spot in the first quarter, the offense of the entire Heat team became Wade's personal affair. Kenny Smith agrees with Charles Barkley in this regard.

"I think we're going to keep our eyes on the game, and in the second quarter, or the rest of the game, how will the Heat deal with the Thunder's lineup change and interior offense?" Reggie Miller's responsibility seems to be to bring back the two unreliable guys around him.

"Michael Beasley. Barkley didn't think about it, and he said the name.

"No matter how good Wade is, he is also a person. Only when Michael Beasley plays at his level can the Heat win. ”

"Michael Beasley!" Van Gundy shouted as he clapped his hands in the locker room, his thoughts surprisingly in unison with Barkley.

"Kevin, you continue to play against him in the second half, and it's no surprise that the Heat will take two inside lines in the second half and put Beasley at his preferred No. 3 position. At that time, I wanted you to continue your previous performances. Van Gundy looked at Durant with confidence, and this silent guy rarely disappoints.

"If Spoelstra had really put Haslem and O'Neal Jr. on at the same time, it wouldn't have been as easy as it was in the first half. ”

"I'm not going to rush into action. Anjie knows what Van Gundy is worried about, but he doesn't get carried away by back-to-back goals.

"Alright, let's play! There is no reason for us to lose this game, let me clear the haze of losing streak!"

"Roar!

....................

"Didi......, Di, Di

The "Didi......Didi" phone was still ringing, but Riccard didn't want to answer it.

"Didi Di Di ......" can't be escaped, no matter how upsetting these things are, Ricard can only face them.

"Hey. ”

"It's Coach George Ricard, right?" said a middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the line.

"It's me. Ricard already knew what was going on, and his tone was very calm.

"I'm Jay Claude's father, and I'm here to discuss with you about my son's transfer to Marquette University. You know, my son isn't coming to the draft this year, but he's always aiming for the NBA. Now the Whirlwind team ...... It's really a bad situation, and I hope my son has a better development ......"

"As long as the school agrees to release them, I have no problem. Before Jay Crowder's father could finish speaking, Ricard replied impatiently. Yes, most of the Whirlwind players this year just want to use Iowa State University as a springboard, like the few who once wanted to work hard for the team to do well. Besides, even if Riccard had an opinion, he did not have the right to decide whether a student should stay or not.

Jay Crowder was the Cyclones' leading scorer this season, but now the Cyclones are losing games in a row, making him feel that the Iowa State University springboard has lost its purpose. Now, he just wants to leave.

"Well, thank you, coach. During this time, Jie didn't learn anything under you, but I wish you good luck in the future. ”

"Click!" Rickard hung up, holding his forehead. It's changed, everything has changed. It's still Iowa State University, it's still the Whirlwinds. But Ricard's "third-generation" Whirlwind team is very different from the previous two generations.

They don't train with passion and don't have a lot of unity on the pitch. The tricks that Ricard used to use in the past had no effect on this group of young players who were seeking fame and fortune.

Michael Beasley's team didn't have a good record in college? The result is that people are now playing in the NBA, earning millions of dollars a year. Mike Taylor is your captain under Ricard, right? He's not weak in college in terms of on-field or locker room leadership, right? Now? Struggling in the Development League, he could lose his job at any moment.

That's the reality, and that's why the third-generation Whirlwind players are more individual-oriented. Rickard couldn't change their utilitarian heart, couldn't keep the Whirlwind team together, couldn't win, couldn't enjoy the work......

No, the team's top scorer "defected" because of the team's poor results, looking for a bigger springboard, rather than looking for a way to make the team win like Anjie and Morris.

"Damn it!" Riccard smashed the mug on the table. Since becoming the coach of this college basketball team, my temper has been getting worse and worse.

Grab your coat and wrap your scarf, Rickard is heading home. The Whirlwinds have an important game tomorrow, but now that the team has lost four in a row, and the team is panicking, Ricard feels that he is not worth the time for the Whirlwinds.

But back home, it's a person. After Peggy gave birth to her baby, she went back to her parents' home. Because Rickard was busy with work and had no time to take care of Peggy, Peggy had to go back to recuperate temporarily, and Rickard only found time every week to see the mother and son.

Alone, equally lonely and boring. At this time, Riccard remembered the Chinese restaurant that Anjie had taken him to. The owner there seems to be very fond of basketball and is a die-hard fan of the Whirlwinds.

Maybe such a person is suitable for heart-to-heart talk......

....................

The bearded man had a busy day, and thanks to Anjie's successful relationship with Morris and others, his small restaurant was also glued and frequented. As for the table that An Jie used to eat back then, someone really bought it, but the beard was not sold, and guests were not allowed to sit. He left the table there, where it was.

The daughter went to New York, and the old man, who had been single since the death of his wife, had nothing to talk to every day. But fortunately, there is basketball in the world to accompany him.

"Damn, you're so ruthless. The bearded man stared at the TV and looked at the score, 50-39, and the Thunder had an 11-point lead. And now, there are three minutes left in the second quarter.

"Two defeats in a row, I want to say goodbye. The beard stretched, and if he continued to play at this state, the Thunder should not have a problem winning the game. But with Wade, there is only one person who is struggling to support him.

"Knock knock. Just then, there was a knock on the door of the restaurant.

"It's closed today. "The bearded man didn't answer the door, but the game was exciting. Now Anjie is holding the ball, and the bearded man wants to see how he can break through the inside line guarded by Haslem and O'Neal Jr.

"Knock knock. The guest didn't leave, and knocked on the door again.

"I said we've ......," the bearded man swallowed back half of his words when he walked to the door and saw the visitor's face.

"Coach George Ricard?"

Previously, there was no decoration on the walls of this restaurant, but now, the walls are covered with various photos of the Whirlwind team back then. A photo of them having dinner here, a picture of them fighting on the court. Rickard's roar on the sidelines, and the smiles of the Whirlwind Three Musketeers on the field, are all vividly hung here.

Rickard touched one of the frames with his hand, he missed the imps.

"Why come to our store at night, coach. When the bearded man saw that it was the coach of the Whirlwind team that he respected, he became enthusiastic.

"The training wasn't going well, and I wanted to find someone to talk to. I guess I'm not in the wrong place. Rickard focused on the TV so that he didn't get too caught up in the memories.

Commercials have begun to be shown on TV, but there are still scores on both sides at the bottom of the screen. 45-55, the Thunder still have a ten-point advantage.

"Be proud, in this game, apart from Durant, the best performers are Ann and Morris. The bearded man came out with two cans of beer and sat down with Ricard.

"I've always been proud of them. Rickard smiled, for the first time in recent days.

"The team has been ...... recently It's not in good shape. Taking advantage of the halftime break, the bearded man also chatted with Ricard about the Whirlwinds.

"Hmph, those guys. They don't want to win, they just want to get good data and get a big contract quickly. "The Whirlwinds are a lot more famous than they used to be, so there are fewer and fewer people joining the team just to play.

"And what else you can't do?"

"Stop talking, watch the ball. The game started again, and Rickard and Beard turned their attention to TV again.

"The Heat are dying, and although Beasley can score now, Durant's form and confidence have long been built. Oops! How to defend this ball, let Durant score again. "Barkley looked anxious in the studio, Beasley can score yes, but he scored two points, and Durant can return a three-pointer if he doesn't do it.

"Kevin is probably going to have to go to 30 points again this game, eh, Joe Anthony is on the Heat's side? Polstra, what a card is played. ”

Joe Anthony is the blue-collar of blue-collars, with weight, height, and skill as well. Anjie's scoring was still easy, and the Heat's interior collapsed.

Wade is still breaking through again and again, falling again and again. No way, the team needs him, desperately needs him.

It's a pity that except for Wade and Beasley, the other players haven't scored too many points for a long time. O'Neal Jr. has four points so far and Haslem has three, and as Barkley said, Anjie's defense has given them no chance to score.

And what about the Thunder's side? Under the fierce pursuit of Anjie and Durant, the Thunder team is getting smoother and smoother. Even Serge Ibaka and Livingston have scored a lot of points. If there is a flaw, it may be that Westbrook's offensive efficiency is still low.

Van Gundy looked at the court with relief, and his actions of calling him to the office one by one to talk really worked.

With five minutes left in the third quarter, the Thunder Sanshao was relieved. Beasley played harder and harder after Durant's departure, but with the excellent play of the Thunder's second team, his crazy scoring failed to make waves.

"No, the Thunder won. Riccard took a sip of the beer in the can, and although there was still a 12-minute game to play, Riccard knew that the game was over.

"So sure? Considering that the big comeback in the final quarter of this season is often staged, I think the Heat may launch a comeback in the fourth quarter. "The bearded man and Ricard disagreed.

"The Heat can't get up, Wade is tired, he's too tired. Although he ...... Didn't give up. "You can't give up on yourself, Rickard seems to be reminding himself.

"I have to go, thank you for your hospitality. If the Thunder loses in the end, I'll lose you a hundred dollars. After Ricard finished speaking, he hurriedly turned and left, the game could not be given up, even if there was only one person, he had to fight. The same applies to coaches. If you lose, you have to lose like a man.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wade's offensive momentum was very fierce. He continued to break inside to make kills, and also hit two three-pointers from the outside.

The Heat seemed to have a resurgence under Wade's perseverance, but when the Thunder reappeared, they completely brought down the "Flash".

Wade was overwhelmed, and Sanshao was full of energy. Just six minutes into the fourth quarter, the Heat surrendered.

The moment Spoelstra dropped the game and replaced Wade, you could see how unbearable the tough man's face was. His performance is no worse than that of the winner, and his spirit is stronger than that of the winner. However, he was not a victor.

In the end, Rickard didn't lose the hundred dollars. Beasley also failed to regain face, while the Thunder led the team out of the haze of consecutive defeats under the careful tutelage of Van Gundy.

80-98, even though the Heat are fifth in the East, even if they have "The Flash" Wade. But this night, they can only be the foil of the powerful thunder.

What about Ricard? He was not willing to give up, even if it was difficult right now. If his disciples can come out well, then he, as a master, should lead by example.

Only tenacity can climb to the top.

Anjie and Morris high-fived in celebration, and the bones that fell under the hands of the two of them were one more. (To be continued.) )
