king of defenders

Chapter 1389

"Only 5 points away."

"It's a pity, the original score has almost caught up."

"Yeah, if the last three-pointer I can"

In the locker room, the Nets players hung their heads and were a little depressed.

If they lose by more than ten points, they may not be like this if they lose in 10 minutes. They will only feel that the opponent is too strong and they will not be wronged if they lose, but they will not be reconciled if they lose by a few points.

Meng Yun clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said: "We did lose this game, and I am not reconciled, but a loss is a loss. What we should do now is not to indulge in failure, but to lose." It’s time to reflect on why we lost, and where did we not do well enough?”

"For example, in the last few minutes, many of our goals can actually be scored, if we play more patiently and calmly."

Everyone nodded, but a little embarrassed.

They also know that they were a little flustered in the last few minutes, and they played too anxiously. For example, they should not shoot so many outside shots, but should break through. Even if they can’t score, it’s good to make a foul. , The opponent fouls and he can go to the free throw line.

It's just that at that time they saw that the game time was getting shorter and shorter. Whenever the score was about to catch up, someone from the Nuggets would always stand up and score. The fight was not very calm.

Meng Yun also knew this, coughed lightly, and continued: "We must believe in ourselves, our teammates, and that we can do it. No matter how difficult the situation is, even if it is desperate, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, We have to have confidence in ourselves. Then let ourselves calm down and play every ball well."

It is not so much that the players were not calm enough in the last few minutes, it is better to say that they lack confidence. Only when they have confidence in themselves and the team can the players remain calm at critical moments, because they always believe that their side can reverse and have such confidence .

"Trust me." Meng Yundao: "Believe in yourself too. As long as we stay calm and fight hard, we can counterattack, defeat our opponents, and win."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded.

Today's game also only lost 5 points, and even caught up to only 3 points. If they can calm down and play better in the last period, for example, Harris has an open three-pointer. If the open three-pointer can shoot If you do, the result might be different.

Another example.
In short, as Meng Yun said, if they can be more confident, calm down, and play well in the last few minutes, it is entirely possible to reverse and win the game.

"You're right." Harris said, "If we can be more confident, calm down, and seize the opportunity, we may not lose to the Nuggets."

"It must not be like this next time." Yang also said.

Afterwards, everyone spoke one after another, expressing that they must not do this next time. After all, they worked hard for the whole game, forty minutes, and lost the game because of panic in the last few minutes. That is really a pity.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Meng Yun nodded secretly.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Coach Atkinson and two assistants walked in.

"coach."

"coach."

the crowd shouted.

Coach Atkinson said with a straight face, "Pack up and get ready to go, we have to catch a plane to Chicago." After speaking, he looked at Dinwiddie, LeVille, Yang, Belica, Noel, Alan and the others said, "The others and the two teaching assistants go to the car first, and you guys stay behind. I have something to say to you."

Dinwiddie and the others looked stiff, everyone looked at them, Meng Yun shouted "Let's go", and followed Meng Yun and the two assistant teachers out of the locker room.

There was a sudden silence in the locker room.

Dinwiddie stood in front of Coach Atkinson, but no one spoke. They all lowered their heads, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts, anticipating what the coach would say.

Coach Atkinson said: "We lost today's game. There are many reasons. I can accept it. But there is one thing I can't accept. That is your performance on the field. You are teammates, but I watched you on the field. It didn't feel like 'we're teammates'."

He looked at Belica and Dinwiddie: "Even, there are still people fighting on the court."

A few people had nothing to say, and there was no way to refute.

Coach Atkinson said again: "I know you are competing. I don't think it is a bad thing, but the premise is that it helps the team. Competition can make people more motivated, make people better, and make people better. The team gets better, and I hope it's the rivalry, not stupid grudges."

"Some of you have been in the team from the beginning of the draft to the NBA. Some of you have just been traded this summer and have just joined. Some of you feel that this is your territory, and some of you I want to make this new place my own."

"But I want to tell you, the people in the team, everyone, except Meng Yun, no one is not for sale, no one is indispensable. The Nets are not something you can fight over, they It doesn't belong to one of you, or to a few people, it belongs to everyone, players, coaches, front office, every staff member of the team, every fan who supports us."

"If you can't do something good for the team, then I can only put you on the bench, because you will not help the team when you are on the field, you will only add chaos to the team."

"If you are not convinced and unwilling to accept, then you can choose to leave and submit a trade application. I think the team will agree."

Dinwiddie's heart was shocked, and he quietly raised his head to look at Coach Atkinson. Seeing the serious face of the coach, he looked directly at them. Everyone knew that the coach was not joking.

In fact, it doesn't take the coach to tell them that they know that, except for Meng Yun, who is not for sale, all of them can be replaced or discarded.

It's realistic, but far from brutal.

After all, this is the NBA, not a playground, not a play house for children, and not a place where you get emotional.

Yang and Belica were the first to figure it out, and said: "Coach, I'm sorry, we made a mistake, and we promise that it will never happen again."

Then Dinwiddie and others also expressed their views.

Coach Atkinson's tone eased: "Actually, it's a kind of luck for you to be able to play next to Meng Yun. He can make you better and lead you to win victories, enter the playoffs, and even hit the Eastern Conference championship. Even the championship. If you leave here, I believe you will regret it."
