Chapter 134: Sacrifice

In the NBA, many teams have very poor conditions in the away locker room, as for the reason, some say that the owner is stingy, and some say that this is one of the tactics for the away team, who knows? But Staples Arena is an exception, and the giants are the atmosphere? Located in a cosmopolitan city? Is being rich is capricious? All right! In fact, the main reason is that the Los Angeles Lakers will also use the away locker room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Michael Reid pushed open the door of the away locker room with a lonely face, looking at the empty room, a little messy, and even full of manly foot smell, but now he is not in the mood to think about this, now he is very uncomfortable, last summer, he participated in the NBA draft with a vision, originally predicted that the pick was only in the second round, but unexpectedly at the end of the first round, was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers, what was his mood at that time? Agitated! Excited! Unbelievable!

The Los Angeles Clippers used to be the NBA's fish belly team, if it was two seasons ago, no, even before the start of last season, he wouldn't want to come here, last season's Los Angeles Clippers, in the NBA caused a young storm, not only unexpectedly played into the playoffs, and entered the second round of the playoffs, especially the team's core players, Tiger Washington is the existence that their generation looks up to, for being able to be teammates with Tiger Washington, so Michael Reed is very excited.

After coming to the Los Angeles Clippers, Michael Reed slowly found that in this team, maybe he can learn a lot, but it is not suitable for him, the teammates here are very friendly, there has never been a bully of newcomers, there is unity here, there are no factions, everyone is constantly working hard for victory, Tiger Washington is better than he imagined, he is not only outstanding in personal ability, but also takes great care of newcomers, Coach Bill Fitch is the most powerful head coach he has ever seen, he always has a lot of ideas, The tactics are flexible, but there is no place for him here, and he is not resentful of that, because everyone here is strong, at least better than him.

After the start of the season, the Los Angeles Clippers have achieved a good record, Michael Reed also got some playing time, although there are not many opportunities, but Michael Reed is still very grateful to Coach Bill Fish, he has learned a lot here, and his strength has been greatly improved, in general, in the few months of the team, Michael Reed has had a good life, and even once felt that it was not bad to stay here for a lifetime.

However, today Michael Reid began to doubt his life, when Coach Bill Fitch pulled him and asked him to rush up and pull Stephen Jackson away, he didn't think about anything in his head, he never thought about the consequences of rushing in, just firmly implemented the coach's arrangement, when the chaos was calmed down, he was sent off by the referee on duty, he didn't make any arguments, just felt very lost, on the way back to the locker room, the reason that slowly returned made him almost collapse, he trusted and respected the head coach the most, At the critical moment, he chose to sacrifice him, and this feeling of abandonment and betrayal corroded his heart.

Michael Reid walked into the locker room and sat down casually, his eyes unfocused, just in a daze. When Rodman walked into the locker room, he saw Michael Reed's appearance, took a bottle of water from the side, walked over to Michael Reed and sat down, handed the water in his hand to Michael Reed, and said softly: "Hi! Michael, I know you're in the mood right now, and you'd rather have a glass of wine, but there's no here, so how about a glass of water first? ”

Michael Reed didn't respond, still sitting like that, Rodman reached out and put his arm around Michael Reed's shoulder and said, "Man, you're a man!" Men shouldn't be like a girl with self-pity, I know you must be in a very lost mood now, feel abandoned by the team, but man, have you thought about it, you're just a rookie, a man's world is respected by strength, you have time to be sad, it's better to think about how to become stronger and let others sacrifice for you. ”

Rodman's words made Michael Reid even more uncomfortable. "Yes, I know, I'm just a rookie, I also know that I'm the weakest in the team, I've been working hard to fit in with the team and be someone who can contribute to the team, I'd rather be broken by the other side when I'm fighting on the field for the team than be the one who is outcast."

"Man, no one has abandoned you. The coach will choose to let you go because he trusts you, and I believe that you also know the situation at that time, the two sides will fight at any time, and except for you and me, the other players will definitely wave their fists as soon as they go up, instead of stopping, okay! I'll admit that they were all taught badly by me, and I've been proud of it before, and I don't regret it now, but the league has changed, and David Stern is going to turn the NBA into a gentleman's sport, and I'm probably the league's knockout. Rodman said in the end, also a little lonely.

"Dennis?"

"Look! You're such a good boy, and you can still look at me with worried eyes. Everyone in Michael's team is making different sacrifices for the team, Ginobili's strength can be the team's starter, but he and Tiger clashed positions, so he became the team's sixth man, Wright is also sacrificing, doesn't he know that he is just a substitute? He knows better than anyone else, but he is still constantly helping the team to run in the lineup, Tiger as the absolute core of the team, but never enjoys privileges, and even gives the ball to his teammates, which of them has not sacrificed? If everyone is not willing to sacrifice and just blindly fight, then the team will really disperse, even if we have 5 superstars, it will only become a fish belly team, boy, sometimes, being selected to sacrifice, it is also a recognition. Rodman took Michael Reed's hand around him, reached over Michael Reed's head, and gently rubbed his head.

"What about you? Dennis: What about you? ”

"Me! I'm the team's last trump card! It is used to deter the Quartet. What do you think? Isn't it amazing! Haha"

Rodman's laughter echoed in the locker room, separated by a door, and Rodman, under the innocent gaze of Michael Reed, began to tell his glorious history, and outside the door stood a Jemaine O'Neal in casual clothes, listening with a complicated expression, he had heard 'was' many times.

Many people say that Rodman's arrival has taught the young players of the Clippers badly, and many people think that Rodman is old, but who really understands the significance of Rodman to this Clippers team? He was the one who sacrificed the most. Reason? Maybe just because of love! (To be continued.) )
