Back in the 76ers locker room, there was silence in the locker room, everyone knew that they didn't play well and were suppressed at the beginning. It doesn't matter if it's inside or outside.

Everyone was silent. Including Reed, who usually loves to laugh, Aaron, who loves to make noise, and Big Ben, who is giggling, did not make a sound.

Larry didn't speak either. He knew that none of this was the fault of his disciples. All this can only be blamed on the enemy being too ferocious, there is no way that the Minnesota Timberwolves performed too well today, with almost no flaws, especially Garnett on the inside, who played against the 76ers' power forward and almost completely penetrated the 76ers' interior defense. At power forward, Garnett chose to play inside and use his explosiveness to win; In the center position, Garnett has appeared a few times now, but Big Ben and Theo Ratliffe can't prevent Garnett from being much taller than them, and once he meets the center on the inside, Garnett will choose to solve the battle on the perimeter, Garnett's basket mid-range shooting is basically used at the top of the arc or near the free throw line, plus Garnett's shooting point is very far back, his height and arm span are too long, and the possibility of being interfered with is very small. And today he hit extremely high percentages and barely missed. No way at all. Allen was also restricted, and the 76ers' offense was not smooth and naturally inefficient.

Just when everyone was silently drinking water and resting, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

"Who's phone ringing?" Larry asked.

"I'm sorry, Coach, it's mine." Luke said embarrassedly. "I'll go answer the phone first."

"Okay, go ahead, come back early." Seeing that it was Luclari, he didn't say anything more.

"Hey......" Luke walked out of the locker room to answer the phone.

"Hey, son, how are you feeling?" It was Bill's voice.

"Hey, Dad, I'm still competing, what are you calling for?" Luke paused. Then he said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Of course it's the feeling that you're being abused, it's really helped me out of a bad breath, you kid who doesn't respect the old and love the young should be punished, otherwise you don't know that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, hum!" There was some noise coming from Bill's side.

"Dad, you're watching my game?" Luke asked.

"Of course not. I'm just doing it live, and watching you play is just incidental. "Going back to the topic, how does it feel to be abused?" ”

"I haven't been abused...... Luke muttered quietly. But it was still heard by Bill.

"You, you're ......," Bill said, "and said that you weren't abused, you look at your stats today, you didn't score more than 10 points, needless to say rebounds, your old mistake is again, what about assists?" What about the assists you rely on for a living? How come there are only 3 of them? There is only a pitiful 1 block and steal, but 7 turnovers, what happened to you today? I guess tomorrow the newspaper will say that the strongest rookie is back to reality, unable to defeat the Timberwolves, the Wolves abusing the 76ers, etc., etc. ”

"......" heard this, Luke also knew that he didn't perform well today, and even the whole team didn't perform well, but this is normal, no team can win every game, even the Super Lakers, who were all 4:0 in the first three rounds of the playoffs in the original world next year, lost to the 76ers on their home court. Victory and defeat are commonplace, and Luke certainly knows it. But now that I heard Bill's words, I was still a little uncomfortable, "Dad, you didn't call specifically to taunt me, did you?" ”

"How so?" Bill said, "Of course I want my son to win every fight, so why would I want him to lose? I'm calling to tell you that I can help you defeat Garnett! Bill threw out a "bait".

"How to beat?" Luke came interested.

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the ...... pay first," Bill said.

"You still want to be paid?" Luke asked, surprised.

"Of course, I don't do free work." Bill said.

"Then tell me about it." Luke said.

"I've got a nice bottle of Absolut vodka from the last vintage, but I've been getting a little ...... lately," Bill said.

"Mom won't let you drink, and besides, I don't have any money." Luke replied.

"The latter you want to lie to me, I know that you just signed a contract, and I also know that David has helped you find a contract that suits you, and you will naturally have money. As for the former, well, it's also very simple, just say that you gave it, and your mother definitely let me drink it. What do you think? ”

"You've already figured it out, what else can I say?" Luke rolled his eyes, but Bill couldn't see it.

"Okay, I'm waiting for you." Bill said excitedly. "I'll tell you the essentials......

Soon Bill was done, hung up the phone, and Luke returned to the locker room.

The atmosphere in the dressing room is not as dull as it was just now. Because everyone's mind is no longer on this game, Larry has begun to prepare the post-game summary and the tactics to be used in the next game, and even Allen, who has never given up, has not put his mind on this game.

"Coach." Luke comes to Larry's side.

"What's the matter?" Larry didn't lift his head and did his thing.

Luke said, "Coach, I want to play power forward in a minute. ”

"Huh?" All eyes were on Luke.

"What do you say, say it again?" Larry asked, somewhat surprised.

Luke calmed down and said bravely: "Coach, I want to wait and play power forward!" ”

"Oh, you're sure." Larry asked.

Luke nodded.

Larry thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can go fight, but if it doesn't work, come down, you know?" I don't want to lose a big player just because of a regular season game. ”

"Got it, Coach." Luke said gratefully.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's get ready to play." Larry said, getting up. Everyone followed out of the locker room.

"Hey, Luke, wait for me." Aaron shouted from behind.

"What's the matter?" Luke asked, looking back.

"You really haven't given up yet?" Aaron said.

"Why give up? The game has not yet reached the last minute, and the winner has not yet been decided, what are you afraid of. Luke said, rolling his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be so immature." Allen covered his forehead and said, "Well, since you're willing to go crazy, how can I, as the boss of this team, not participate?" Do you have any plans? ”

"Of course!" Luke said confidently. "Larry's help is needed, though."

"That's fine, I'll tell you about your plan." Aaron was already a little impatient.

"Here's my plan......" Luke said in Arlen's ear. A genius program is about to be born, and the Timberwolves have it.
