Chapter 176: Cohesion

As the whistle blew at the end of the game, most of the Pelicans fans in attendance remained in their seats, as if they didn't believe it was all happening.

"Damn, how can you lose? We led by 37 points in the third quarter, 37 points! How can you lose a game? ”

In the audience, a black man dressed in Pelicans products who looked like a die-hard fan spoke to his companion with a look of chagrin and surprise on his face.

And his companion, a fat white man who looked noticeably more sane, patted his partner and said, "Okay, man, accept it, our team lost." With a 37-point lead, the players played stinky like shit and lost the game. ”

"Has any team been reversed before this with so much lead?"

After the die-hard Pelican fan black man asked, the white fat man took out his mobile phone and put it in front of his partner, sighed and said, "No, the previous record was 36 points." We were fortunate enough to witness a new NBA record, but our team was nailed to the pillar of shame. ”

"Damn, that's a shameful record!" The black man shouted with anger on his face.

There were a lot of die-hard Pelicans fans who were angry and frustrated at this time, and they were ashamed of the home team's performance that night.

At this time, the Pelicans players left the court and walked to the locker room in a hurry, as if staying here was a nightmare.

"Shh When they walked into the players' tunnel, they drew boos from the fans near the scene.

"You guys are so disappointing!" "A bunch of cocky guys!"

Pelican fans vented their frustration and frustration at this time, and angry yelling filled this corner of the court.

These words of Pelican fans pierced the hearts of every Pelican fan like bayonets, making the expressions on their faces extremely ugly and making them feel extremely ashamed.

In fact, even the Pelicans players still didn't believe it had happened, and when they stretched the margin to 37 points in the third quarter, they thought the game was over early.

There were no players to argue against the Pelicans fans' shouting, and they didn't even have the courage to look up at their home fans, and one by one the players picked up their pace and hurried off the court.

Compared to the Pelicans players, the Kings players were treated well at this time, although they received a lot of boos from the Pelicans fans during the game, but after the game, when they walked to the locker room, the Pelicans fans did not boo them again, and it is clear that the tenacious performance of the Kings team today left a good impression on them even as away fans.

In fact, the Kings players didn't care about the reaction of the Pelicans fans at this time, even after the game, they still kept their excitement, so they basically didn't pay attention to the reaction of the outside world at this time.

And after entering the locker room, the Kings' players could no longer control it and began to roar loudly.

"Wow, that's cool, haha, we won the game and made the biggest comeback ever!"

"God, we're setting a new record, it's a great feeling!"

"We can win the game from 37 points behind, that's what we're capable of!"

"Win! Guys, we won! ”

After a burst of yelling, the players began to talk excitedly to each other again,

"Haha, Thomas, I can already imagine what the media will say about this game - trailing by 37 points is not a problem, the biggest comeback in the history of the King!"

Li Tian was still immersed in the excitement of the game at this time, and he pulled Robinson and shouted loudly.

Although Robinson was not present at the last moment, he was also very excited at this time, and he shouted: "No, Lee, what you said is not right, we set a record, OK?" You have to bring the record with you, that's the most important thing. Come to think of it, man, our performance tonight is going to be written into the history of the league. ”

While Li Tian was talking to Robinson, the rest of the Kings players were also shouting to each other, and the entire locker room was bursting with laughter.

As Adelman watched all of this with his coaching staff on his face, he turned his head to his chief assistant Turner and said, "Elson, they won the game." ”

Turner knew that Adelman was answering his own question at halftime, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Chief, they're more tenacious than we thought." ”

"Yes, our lads already have the foundation to be a strong team." Adelman nodded, and suddenly there was a feeling of pride in his heart.

"Smack! Syllable! Adelman walked to the middle of the locker room, clapped vigorously, and after capturing the attention of all the Kings players, he shouted, "Guys, tell me, what did we do tonight?" ”

"37 points reversal!" "A new record was set...... As soon as Adelman finished shouting, the Kings players immediately shouted loudly.

"Yes! We came back from 37 points down, we set a new record, boys, you are tenacious enough, it's an honor for you! We are a strong team, and when we work together, we are able to beat all opponents! ”

……

Adelman gave an impassioned speech in the dressing room on the road, and at such a moment, every Kings player felt passionate!

At this moment, the confidence of the Kings' players was higher than ever, they felt as if they could beat all the teams in the league, and they felt that their trust in their teammates had deepened, which is exactly what Adelman wanted to see.

The Kings are a young team, most of the team are young players, and after this summer from the management to the player lineup adjustment, how to make this team have better cohesion has become what Adelman has always wanted to do, and now, Adelman accurately grasped this opportunity, in the team has just completed such a big reversal moment, his speech has sublimated the cohesion of the whole team!

"Boys, our goal this season is to be in the playoffs, and we have the quality to make the playoffs and get a good place and then make a difference in the playoffs."

Seeing that the emotions of the Kings players were fully mobilized, Adelman took the opportunity to present his team's goals.

Ahead of this game, Adelman had already felt some complacency in his team, as the team's results had improved significantly from the previous season, and Adelman knew that such emotions were deadly, and he had to make his players forget about such improvements, and that setting new goals was the best way to do so.

So even though it's only the end of December, Adelman has already put forward the slogan of getting into the playoffs and getting a better place, and Adelman's goal shouting really makes the eyes of the still excited Kings players shine.

"Yes, my goal should be the playoffs!"

"I've never played in the playoffs, and this season, we're going to make that happen!"

"We're going to win lots and lots and we're going to work hard for the playoffs!"

Adelman is no longer sensational, he has already achieved the desired effect, and he believes that the entire Kings team will maintain the high morale for at least the next period of time, so that the team can maintain the current good record before the All-Star weekend.

"Alright, guys, pack your things and let's get back to Sacramento and have a nice Christmas."

After Adelman finished speaking, the King's celebration in the away locker room finally came to an end, and the players began to shower and change clothes before leaving, and of course, there were people like Li Tian who couldn't wait to call and share the joy with others.

"Judy, I'm sorry, I think I disturbed your sleep. Oh, you're waiting for me to call? ”

"You watched the game? I thought we played so badly in the first half that you had gone to sleep. ”

Hearing that Annette had also watched her team's reversal performance, Li Tian's mood became better and better, and it felt like a child getting a gift, and his little friend watched him open the gift.

"yes, we made a big comeback, it set a new record, and that feeling, it's really cool."

Riding the team's bus to the airport, Li Tian was still chatting with Annette on the phone, talking about the game until he came to the airport to prepare for boarding.

"Judy, I've got to get on the plane, I'm back in Sacramento now, I'll fly to the Kansas airport tomorrow morning, and I should be able to get to you tomorrow afternoon...... Yes, the first trip to buy a plane. Don't worry, I won't miss the Christmas dinner you have prepared, see you tomorrow! ”
