"Brothers, come on......!!"

Sacramento, the center of the Kings team.

Paul George had just finished today's restorative confrontation practice, wiping his sweat and saying goodbye to his trainer in a hurry, and then immediately went headlong into the preparation room to turn on the big screen and start watching the live broadcast of the game.

Why not just let George just play with the team? Anyway, this game is at the home of Sacramento, not much away from the center of the team, and George can easily reach it.

"You can't give everyone a sense of anticipation."

Phil Jackson responded to George's question: "We need you now, more than ever. It's not just you and I know that, all the players know it too. ”

"That's why I should go to the scene to refuel!" George was puzzled.

"If you're there, there's going to be anticipation, you know?" Phil Jackson gave his trademark enigmatic smile: "Everybody would expect you to play, expect you to play on the court, and you can't help but think 'If only Paul was here' or something like that. In this way, everyone's initiative to solve problems on the field will be reduced, and your cheering will have the opposite effect. ”

George understood.

Indeed, as Phil Jackson said, although sometimes, one of the team's main players is injured and comes to watch the game, which is sure for the players

It's an incentive. But the current situation is different, this is the playoffs, and it is the moment of life and death, if the Kings can take advantage of the current momentum to continue to work hard, maybe they can really create a sweeping miracle.

At this time, if George is on the field, the string that is tight in the hearts of the players is likely to relax. Watching George cheering on the sidelines, and then looking at the court, Gu Yu wants to fight Leonard, Ginobili, Parker and others alone, everyone can't help but think that if George is here, Gu Yu will be much easier.

This kind of thinking is like a poison, and the effect is not visible for a short time. But if the game reaches a critical moment, when the outcome is in a thought, some players think so, and the slightest action is not in place, and there is a little hesitation in their hearts

The result is hard to say.

"You're going to be a reason for everyone to comfort themselves." Phil Jackson continued: "If it was crunch time, people would think, if you're there, you can defend Leonard, you can block Parker, you can catch my cousin's pass and do the key goal. So the thinking is relaxed, some details are not done well, and the game may lose by this goal or two. ”

"We're playing against the Spurs, one of the best teams in the league and one of the best teams in the league to take advantage of their opponents. If such an obvious mental flaw was revealed in front of them, what do you think Greg would do? ”

"Hmm...... He will seize this and try to influence his teammates who are already hesitant and then find a way to win. George nodded.

"Yes, it's a far more dangerous situation than you think, and it could affect not only this game, but the entire series." Phil Jackson said: "If we lose today, there are still people who think, 'We didn't lose because we couldn't beat the Spurs, because we didn't have a complete lineup, and if Paul was here, we might have won'. If you think about it this way, the next game will also be affected, and the next game will also be affected. Everyone will have a feeling that God is unfair to us, and with resentment in their hearts, how can they play well? ”

Only then did George understand the hard work of the old handsome.

"So you can practice here with peace of mind." Seeing that George understood, Phil Jackson smiled: "Don't worry, we need you very much, the sooner you come back, the sooner the help for us will come." As for this round of the series......"

As he spoke, Phil Jackson looked outside the center door of the team, beside the team bus, Gu Yu was shouting and calling for the people to hurry up and get on the bus and "beat the Spurs".

"We, we must sweep ......!"

Come on!

So, at the beginning of the game, George sat in the center of the team's preparation room, clenched his fists, and prayed silently in his heart.

Pray that the team can really create miracles under the leadership of Gu Yu.

At the same time, sleep trains.

“…… And then if they're on the line, be sure to move the ball, don't get in love, don't try to break through your cousin's blockade. Especially you, Tony. ”

The old drunkard is seizing the final preparation time to instill in the players his coaching philosophy: "Don't think that you are in good shape and you can try to challenge your cousin's defense. He's got a complete idea of your offense now, what you want to do one second, what you want to do the next, he probably knows better than you do. Don't challenge him, you're going to lose badly. ”

“…… Got it. Parker was also helpless, sighed and shook his head.

Who told the coach to tell the truth?

"And you too, I'm not just saying this to Tony, all of you remember, remember, I'll repeat it." The old drunkard looked at the players with stern eyes, and said word by word: "No matter when and where, no, want, challenge, fight, cousin, brother!" ”

“GOT-IT-SIR！”

Spurs players, shouted in unison.

That's it.

The on-site announcer began to remind the players of both sides to enter, and the referee was making a final check of the match ball, and a game of life and death was about to begin.

The face that should be lost has already been lost, and the burden in everyone's hearts that should be discarded has long been discarded.

This time, the inferior horses are no longer the Kings, but our Spurs.

You must have the tenacity to fight against the odds, and you must have the momentum to break out of everything.

Only in this way will it be possible to take away the victory in front of the cousin!

"That's all we can do."

The players took to the court one by one, the Sleep Train Arena was full of people, the Kings fans wore neat white T-shirts, and the scene was a boiling white sea.

Countless slogans fluttered all over the stadium, whether they were distributed by the team or homemade by the fans, no matter what font was used, it was a single word.

“MIRACLE”

Marvel!

Sacramento, waiting for this miracle, has been waiting for it for too long.

From the years of the conquest of the white horse and spear, to the battle of the bayonet.

One of the oldest teams in the NBA has been looked down upon by the world for too long.

It's time to pray out loud to all the gods of the world, to the air.

Pray for a miracle!

'There's going to be a lot of uncontrollable factors on the pitch, you know.' Looking at Duncan, who was still nervously tying the last shoelace beside him, the old drunkard said, "Timmy." ”

"Hmm." Duncan nodded, looked up at his mentor with his eternally innocent eyes, his mouth moved, and he still didn't say anything.

"I've done everything I can do, and this time, we're going to have a better mentality than they did." The old drunkard looked at the court, where the Kings players were all on the court, cheering the Sacramento fans and performing their final stretches.

"I know, Coach." Duncan responded.

"Well, blame me, blame me for being so conceited, conceited that I think I can really be on an equal footing with Phil." The old drunkard smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "I was really brainwashed by those media, and I really thought that Phil had more rings than me, just because he had Jordan and Kobe." But who would have thought that I also had you! ”

"I know."

"So, Timmy!" The old drunkard sighed and shook his head: "One more, one more, even if you wear out your mouth, one more than you is more." Phil has a lot more rings than me, even if he is lucky, even if he is lucky, he still has more than me. Since you have more rings than me, you are stronger than me! ”

"I know ......"

"Timmy, do you know how much I want to retire and never coach again." The old drunkard seemed to be a little emotional, and said with a smile: "But I can't let go of you, I can't let go of the three of you, you five, you twelve, you fifteen." I can't let go of the Spurs, I can't let go of San Antonio! ”

"Coach ......"

"Let's fight well!" The old drunkard looked at Gu Yu, who was showing off his martial arts on the field, and said with a smile: "There are still many people who believe that we will win, and I also believe that we will win, so you must work hard and grasp the advantages of our current mentality." They wanted to win so much, they wanted to knock us out so much, and this was our chance and their fatal flaw......"

"Coach."

Suddenly, the old drunkard's shoulder was held by a hand that had always been big and strong.

The white-haired old man, who was already old, trembled.

This grip has the power of time.

"I know, Coach." Duncan's voice was as calm and firm as it had been for more than a decade.

This is a self-confidence that will not be wiped out by time, and it is also something that can only be possessed after being accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and it belongs to the calmness of the king.

"You can sit at ease, I know what you have to say." Duncan's hand let go of the old drunkard's shoulder, causing the latter's feet to stagger: "You supported me before, now I support you, and ...... in the future"

Looking at the court, the old drunkard's eyes were a little moist for some reason.

Seem......

It seems that this is their last chance.

"In the future, they will stand up for us."

With that, Duncan stepped away, every step was so heavy and powerful.

Finally, for the first time in this round of the series, there is no psychological baggage, no tricks, no intrigue tactical duels.

The San Antonio Spurs are in full form, and they are about to be seen by everyone.

"I'll pull it out."

"Eh, my hair hurts...... Timmy, are you going to die!! ”

"Hahaha......"

Ginobili's screams finally settled the old drunkard's heart.

The corners of his mouth raised a smile.

Leave it to me.

On the field, Duncan turned around and winked at the old drunkard, and then his eyes changed.

The No. 21, who once made the league tremble, is back, completely.
