Chapter 26: Friends

Although after Bilfitch's reprimand, the Clippers players performed much better in the following games, but they felt cold and finally lost to the Raptors by 3 points, and Carter got the best of the game. After www.biquge.info the game, Carter showed up at a bar in Los Angeles with Maddie and Tiger, along with Jackson and Billups of the Clippers. In the private room, Tiger and Carter sat in a relatively quiet place, chatting. Maddie was drinking and playing with Jackson and Beerups.

"You've had a good year and should be fine in the playoffs." Tiger glanced at Maddie, who was drinking with Jackson, and said to Carter first.

'It's too early to tell, the season has just started and everything is uncertain. Your Clippers have really surprised this year, and now they are in second place in the West, and they have won against the Spurs and Lakers, which is completely unexpected. Don't talk about juice, you should celebrate with me and a glass of wine. Carter shook his head absently, holding up the wine glass in his hand and looking at the juice in front of Tiger.

"In those two games, there were too many accidents, especially the one against the Lakers, and I have been scolded by many people until now, and I am also a little puzzled now, are we wrong?" Tiger reached for the juice in his hand, ignoring Carter, who had advised him to drink, and instead talked about the game against the Lakers. He actually wanted to talk to someone about that game, and recently because of this game, he was scolded by too many people, and he was a little unsure in his heart.

"Tiger, this world is not absolute black and white, we live in the grayest NBA, in the NBA there are only wins, there is no so-called right and wrong, Bill Lambier, Isaiah Thomas and Rodman their original bad boy army, resounded through the league, especially Ranbir, people are called demons, hooligans, murderers, but they are still NBA championship players. You partnered with Rodman to get Shaq, so you were abused by people, it's normal, you are the beneficiary, you won the victory, what about being scolded by others? What would you do if things changed between you and the Lakers, and the Lakers got your players in order to win? Carter also knew that after the game between the Clippers and Lakers, the media put too much pressure on Tiger and the Clippers.

"I think I'll be angry if things change, but I'll be able to accept the result. Thank you! Buddy. Listening to Carter's words, Tiger took a sip of the juice and put himself in his shoes. I understand a little, what you said makes sense, but I am too hypocritical, I find that I care too much now, and what others think of me, some fall into misunderstandings. Not to mention that, when is your next game? ”

"Tomorrow, I'm going to San Antonio to play the Spurs, and I'm going to meet Thiem again. I don't know who is on the schedule, now it's the Lakers, then you, then the Spurs, and then the Mavericks and Rockets behind them, none of which are easy to play. When it came to the schedule, Carter couldn't help but complain.

"Tomorrow? You coaches are so talkative, are you and Tracy going to San Antonio tomorrow to meet with the team? "When the Clippers face back-to-back games like this, they rush to the next city overnight after the game to give the players time to rest.

"Haha! Our whole team will fly to San Antonio tomorrow, you must know that Los Angeles is a big city, and if you come out of a small city like us, you will definitely choose to stay in the big city for an extra day, who wants to fly to the next stop in advance! You big city teams won't understand. Our head coach understands this, so we arranged for tomorrow's plane, which is very close to San Antonio. ”

"Stay one more night, why don't you fly to the competition venue overnight and still have a good rest, is it any different to stay in Los Angeles?" Tiger was puzzled.

"Of course, I dare say that a lot of the Raptors players tonight have taken time off to go out to nightclubs, and this is Los Angeles. Los Angeles that everyone loves! Forget it, you won't understand, for you, maybe it's really no different, your thoughts are always different. At the beginning, many people thought that you would leave the Clippers, but in the end you stayed, and your thoughts are difficult for people to understand. Carter looked at Tiger with a puzzled expression, and felt disinterested.

"Actually, when I think about that time, I didn't think about leaving the Clippers at that time, it was the most difficult time, and I was unwilling the most, and then after falling out with Sterling, I thought it was possible, when I really wanted to leave, I didn't have a clear goal in my heart, just confused, but no team appeared in my mind, maybe it was really me who was too smooth before, so when something happened, it would be like this. However, if there are no accidents, I will definitely play with the Clippers until I retire, and if you don't want to stay with the Raptors in the future, you can come to the Clippers and play alongside me. Tiger said, patting Carter on the shoulder.

"You're going to start poaching people now? It looks like you're really bullish on the Clippers right now. However, I think the Raptors are not bad, although they are far away in Canada, but the team and the fans are very supportive and need me, and now, we are working hard for the team in this year's playoffs, and I hope to bring home a championship trophy to the Raptors fans in the near future. When talking about Raptors fans, Carter's face had a different glow.

Looking at Carter's longing face, Tiger didn't know how to continue, Carter's talent and talent, he knew best, so he begged Bruce Bowen not to do anything to hurt the players. As a friend, he was afraid that Carter would not escape his fate, but he didn't want Carter to be hurt, and he didn't want the person who hurt him would be his teammate Bruce Bowen.

Tiger didn't want to disturb such Carter, so he turned his attention from Carter's body to Maddie's body, the two cousins now seem to have a good relationship and are very harmonious, but in the end, why did Maddie leave Carter and go to Magic? There's a lot of speculation here, but if Maddie stays with the Raptors, what kind of situation will he create with Carter? Perhaps only God knows.

The next day, Carter and the Raptors left Los Angeles and headed for San Antonio. But the big and small newspapers in Los Angeles have published photos of Tiger and Carter, going in and out of bars together, and the media in Los Angeles, because of the game between the Clippers and the Lakers, have a minimum perception of Tiger and the Clippers, and now they are even ridiculing Tiger as a liar, a hypocrite, with his teammates and Raptors, lingering in bars, and staying late at night before leaving, the Clippers' slump yesterday was because they focused their energy on the off-court.
