Chapter 222: The Interpretation of the White Gloves (Ninety-Eighth Update!) )
I finally won, but fortunately I didn't lose, otherwise tonight would probably be my last night in charge of the Grizzlies.
Winters thought with a sigh of relief.
Davidson's side also breathed a sigh of relief, he finally lost, he was really afraid that Christie's three-point score just now, it would be embarrassing.
Everyone in the room was not stupid, and everyone could see Davidson's purpose for deliberately losing, but they couldn't think of a reason for Davidson's behavior at the moment.
Isn't it fragrant to continue to maintain a winning streak......
After the game, the players and coaches of both sides walked onto the court to shake hands.
Davidson first grabbed Raheem, and he was able to lose tonight, and he really had to thank this kid.
"Good job, man." Davidson patted Raheem's arm and said with a smile on his face.
Raheem was more shy, and he bowed his head at Davidson and smiled bitterly, did he really do a good job in this game?
As the big boss of the Grizzlies, when the opponent is considered to have given up the game, only winning the opponent by two points, can this be considered a good performance?
Of course, if you look at the data, Raheem's 23 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks tonight are indeed good.
Winters also walked towards Davidson with a strange face.
"Thank you, Wilson." Winters said with an awkward smile.
Facing the coach in front of him, who was much younger than himself, Winters sighed in his heart.
Why don't you have such a terrible selection eye as Davidson? If so, do you still need to be so worried now?
Davidson frowned when he heard Winters' thanks, "Huh? Thank me? Why thank me. ”
"Winters, you don't think our king is releasing water, do you?"
Davidson hurriedly waved his hand, this kind of deliberate abandonment of the game, he would never admit it.
It's not nice to say, the NBA says it's a business league, but it's also a competitive sport.
Competitive sports deliberately lose, that's nothing.
Winters was bewildered by Davidson, just as a reporter came over.
Reporters can't wait to interview Davidson and find out why Davidson wanted to lose so much tonight.
Because in their eyes, it's quite incredible.
If it is the closing stage of the season, in order to meet a difficult opponent in the playoffs, and then deliberately lose, staggering the difficult opponent, this is understandable, this kind of thing in the NBA is not uncommon.
But now the key is that the season has only started for a long time, and Davidson is going to lose on the pole, which is really incomprehensible.
"Coach Davidson, why do you feel like you don't want to win tonight?" A reporter got straight to the point and threw the question to Davidson.
Hearing this, Davidson hurriedly waved his hand.
"You can't talk nonsense, you're saying this is an insult to the Grizzlies, they're also a professional team in the NBA, isn't it normal to win?" Davidson said quickly.
The corners of Winters' mouth twitched on the side, people asked you questions, why did it come to us grizzly bears again.
"If you don't want to lose, why do you take all four of the starting four on rotation?" The reporter asked again.
It's really a pretty wacky thing to do.
"Naturally, I want the players to have a good rest, they are too tired during this time."
"Muresan's injury is a wake-up call for our Kings, and if they continue to work so hard, they may not make it to the playoffs."
Davidson said with a rather solemn expression.
The reporters are even more speechless, you Kings players are desperate? Obviously, they all clock out and leave work in three sections......
In the previous games, many games were too big because of the lead in the first three quarters, so many of the main starters stopped playing after the third quarter.
Maybe the whole league is going to count their Kings players easily.
But since Davidson said so, it is difficult for reporters to refute it in person.
After all, Muressan's injury, that's just happened.
"Okay, don't guess, we just lost one game, it's just a normal regular season, it's no different from any other regular season." Davidson smiled at the reporters.
"By the way, Coach Davidson, some fans are curious about what secrets are hidden under your gloves, can you share them with us." Another reporter asked a question.
Some fans noticed that Davidson was wearing several rings on his fingers, and many people discussed at the time what the significance of these rings Davidson was wearing.
Some say this is the number of championships Davidson has set for himself, and a few rings mean that his goal is to win several championship trophies.
Some people also say that Davidson is a young man, and young people like to engage in these bells and whistles to attract the attention of the outside world.
Anyway, there are all kinds of theories, and there are different opinions, and there is no consensus.
Davidson explained to the people around him at first that this was a thought left by his parents, but then there were more and more rings, and he couldn't explain it.
simply put white gloves on his hands, but I didn't expect this to be even more curious.
Similar to the reporter's question just now, Davidson has been asked at least ten times!
"It's a pretty private question, and the NBA allows us to refuse to answer that kind of privacy question." Davidson again used his usual rhetoric.
The NBA has relevant regulations, and in general, NBA practitioners must answer questions from reporters.
Of course, if there are some personal privacy issues, the person being asked can refuse to answer.
The reporters looked disappointed, and what they wanted to figure out most now was the meaning of Davidson's white gloves.
However, the outside world has a more reliable answer.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, gloves were used to represent authority and purity, so all of those medieval knights wore a pair of white gloves.
Wearing white gloves represents sanctity and justice, and if you take off the white gloves and throw them in front of the opponent, you will challenge the duel.
This interpretation is quite convincing, but Davidson never admits it......
……
In the loss against the Grizzlies, the starters were a little confused, but they didn't care much about it.
Players like Ross Barkley and Richmond only want a championship right now, and as for their regular season record, even if they surpass the Bulls' 72 wins last season, they won't be happy without a championship.
Their only goal at the moment is to win the title, and there is nothing else to think about but to win.
As for the two of them, Daba and Nash, they will definitely not have any opinions.
Next, the remaining five games in November, the Kings went out with all the players and won all of them easily.
In the first month and a half of the regular season, the Kings played a total of 22 games, and the result was a 21-1 record.
