Chapter 25: The state is sluggish
"Andy, don't you have anything else to do? If it's okay, I'll leave first, and I'll have to prepare for the night's game! Tiger saw that Andy was lost in thought, and stood up to leave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh! One more thing. After Wang's injury, I found that the lack of personnel in the team has become more obvious, do we need to arrange some trades? Andy was regained consciousness by Tiger, put down the notebook in his hand, and began to say something else.
"Let's do this for now! Arrange the transaction needs chips, we have no chips, the current players have a very tacit understanding between each other, exchanging them, can not solve our lack of people, and the new players, but also from the new run-in, so the gains outweigh the losses, Coach Fitch before the start of the game, should have prepared a detailed plan, you talk to Coach Fitch, ask him what his opinion! I don't recommend trading. "For the lack of people in the team, this matter, Tiger really has no way, as for the transaction, Tiger does not agree, now these players in the team, Tiger wants to break his brain, just come out, how can the future cattle people be released?
"Well, well! When we first discussed, we didn't set a target for the team for this year, but we've had a good record lately and I'm getting a little greedy and I'm talking to Coach Fitch. By the way, the team's stadium design has been revised according to your opinions, and I asked them to make a model, and I will arrange a presentation in the next few days, and you will participate in it at that time. Also, remember to prepare for the interview in Chinese, I will inform you of the specific time, and now you can go. Bye! ”
Tiger gave Andy a middle finger and left Andy's office to prepare for the night's game against the Raptors.
Andy sat alone in his office, thinking about the contents of his notebook for a while, then picked up the phone at hand and dialed Stevens, who was far away in New York. "Mike, I'm Andy. Well, it's okay lately! I need your help with one thing here, yes. Have you had time to visit Los Angeles recently? The design of the arena is also out, yes. Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport then, goodbye! ”
Hanging up the phone, Andy was in a good mood, called his assistant, and began to arrange some specific things. NBA players are busy in major cities in the United States, and the team manager is not sitting in the office drinking coffee, and Andy has been in a busy state since he took over the Clippers manager, and in his own words, there is no time for appointments.
The Raptors have been in Los Angeles for two days, yesterday they just played the Lakers in Staples, today they will face the Clippers at Staples Arena, the Raptors have improved a lot this year, the team has been in the top eight in the East, there is hope of making the playoffs, the age composition of the team is reasonable, plus the gradual maturity of Carter and Maddie, the team is on the right path.
Before the start of the game, Tiger and Carter hugged each other on the sidelines, and agreed to get together after the game, and the friendship between the two was also known throughout the United States because of the photo of Carter helping Tiger off the field last year, so when the two hugged, the audience at the scene gave applause. The Raptors have Kevin Willis and Antonio Davis on the inside, Maddy at the small forward position, and Carter and Boggs at the guard. The Clippers used a regular starting lineup, Carter and Tiger were on the court, and after the game began, Carter used his outstanding scoring ability to show his strength as the fourth in the scoring list, and Davis quickly integrated into the Raptors.
The Clippers didn't play well at the beginning, I don't know if it was affected by back-to-back, the Clippers made a lot of mistakes today, so that the Raptors quickly took the lead in the game, Coach Bilfitch sat on the bench, watched the team's performance, but never said anything, he hoped that the players could adjust themselves, these are part of the growth. The first quarter of the game played 6 minutes and entered the official timeout, the Clippers did not make any changes, and Coach Fitch just asked the players to play more steady. The Raptors have started the rotation of players, and now the team is ahead, and there is one game tomorrow, and the Raptors coach wants to give the players enough time to rest.
After the game started anew, the Raptors used a semi-bench lineup to play a wave of 8:2 for the Clippers, and Coach Bill Fitch sighed in disappointment off the court, called a timeout, and replaced all the players on the court with Wright, Skinner, Bowen, Ginobili and Ragabel. Facing the Clippers starters who walked off the court, Coach Fitch stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back and a serious expression, completely ignoring them.
The Clippers' bench lineup played well, and under the leadership of Ginobili, they began to organize, and the good offense, and the defense of Raga and Bowen also had an immediate effect. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers recovered some points, but still lost by eight points, 20-28.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Raptors also changed to the full bench lineup, and there was a veteran among them, who was 35 years old, and his name was Dale. Curry, maybe many people are not familiar with this name, but more than ten years later, in front of his name, there will be an additional title - Stephen. Curry's father. Curry Sr., a 3-point shooter who was named Sixth Man of the Year in 1993-1994, is 35 years old and now faces the question of his imminent retirement. At the same time, along with the old Curry, there is also the league's famous villain Oakley.
What has been the Clippers' biggest success this season? Coach Bill Fitch has been saying: It's the Clippers' bench lineup. The Clippers' bench lineup is an important weight to ensure the victory of the Clippers, and this game confirms this, including Wright and Skinner, the Clippers bench players are playing very hard and tenacious, Bill Fitch looked at the situation on the court, turned to the five people sitting on the bench and said: "Don't you feel ashamed to see them?" You are the team's starter, but you let your emotions affect the game, and you are sleepwalking, maybe you think your talent is very good, you should be the starter. Then I tell you, that's glam, there is no fixed preempt with me, everything depends on strength and state. Tiger HSD, tell me, what have you been pursuing? ”
Tiger was bowing his head to listen to the training, but he was suddenly called out and replied in a daze: "Become the best player and lead the team to win the championship." ”
"Ghit! You've lost all your hunger to win and you're still dreaming of a championship. And you, what have you been pursuing? It's all for me to think clearly. Coach Bilfitch finished and gave them the back again.
