The Way of the Center

The day before yesterday, in the same dressing room, the atmosphere was still lively and lively. An Jie also became the focus of the entire dressing room and became the object of praise from everyone.

Today, still here, no one wants to speak. The only sound that can be heard in the entire locker room is the gasping of the players.

If you fail as hard as you can in the second game, there is nothing to blame. But today, the Thunder players themselves know how **** their performance is!

The Thunder team was unstoppable when the Thunder's three young players were all over the line. However, when the Thunder's three players were misfired, it was difficult for the Thunder to win.

Durant and Westbrook's offense is simply a career blemish, and Anjie's defense, which produces arrogant psychology, is the worst ever.

The Anjie, who slammed Yao Ming and sweated O'Neal, seemed to have disappeared. Bynum and Gasol took a sigh of relief, and An Jie relaxed, these two guys were eager to cast all the fire on An Jie.

Bynum hasn't forgotten the cold eyes of the reporters when he passed the home team's locker room after losing the game the day before yesterday. Everyone is waiting for Anjie, waiting for the savior of that game. As An Jie's opponent, he didn't get even the slightest respect.

Today, An Jie is slack, but Bynum wants An Jie to look good. Therefore, Gasol and Bynum will be overwhelmed in the Thunder's proud interior, and even Kobe is willing to give up the ball.

After being suppressed for 3 games, the Lakers Twin Towers finally found a chance to let out a sigh of foul. An Jie's arrogance and the emotional outbursts of Bynum and Gasol created this situation.

"Hey!" Van Gundy almost slammed the door in. When he rushed into the locker room, no one dared to look up at him!

Kobe and James may not be afraid of any head coach, but for the Thunder and the already successful little guys, the head coach's anger is still a very scary thing.

Van Gundy stood in front of the white board with his waist in his waist, biting his lip, spinning around in place. He wanted to find something to smash, but after looking around, he didn't find anything that could accomplish this mission.

"Shit! What a **** shit! You think you're great, huh? Can you believe the nonsense of the media? When they hurt you, you know that the media are just a bunch of idiots. Now it’s good. When they praise you, Do you regard the media as an authority? They say we can advance, can we advance!? This is the playoffs gentlemen! This is the **** playoffs! Any loss in a game may make us Fuck away!" Van Gundy yelled, his head turned red, and the veins were clearly visible on the bald head.

"Damn..." Van Gundy, who was originally tough, suddenly softened and fell to the ground. The Thunder's locker room remained silent, but the next second, everyone panicked.

"Boss!? Boss!?" An Jie was the first to rush to Van Gundy's side. In the past, when he was injured, Van Gundy called himself anxiously. An Jie didn't expect that he would call Van Gundy one day.

Everyone gathered around their head coach. Naturally, these big bosses didn't know what to do. Livingston was the most clever, rushed out of the locker room and called the team doctor.

Although Van Gundy fainted to the ground, he did not completely lose consciousness. He was weak, and his head was dizzy and painful.

"Fuck, I forgot to take my medicine this afternoon..." Van Gundy tried to sit up, but was stopped by Anjie and the others.

"You still don't move your head now, the team doctor will come right away." No one dares to imagine what the Thunder will be like after losing Van Gundy, even the players who have just been reprimanded by him. The Nuggets' loss of George Karl is the best example. Injury to a player will greatly reduce the strength of a team, and the absence of a head coach is likely to cause the same consequences.

After a while, Livingston brought the team doctor to the locker room. Hearing the players describe Van Gundy's symptoms at the time, the team doctor made a decisive decision and said Van Gundy's blood pressure was too high.

"The plot that you often see when watching TV is who is so angry that he fainted. In fact, he was not fainted with anger, but because the hypertensive patient was so angry that he fainted because his blood pressure soared. Mr. Van Gundy was In this situation, you must have not taken antihypertensive medicine." The team doctor counted Van Gundy's pulse, looked at Van Gundy's pupil condition, and confirmed that he was not in serious trouble, at least his life would not be in danger.

"I was busy with the game in the afternoon and forgot to eat." Van Gundy replied honestly. Just now he was really so angry that he exploded, and his blood pressure was not controlled in time.

"Well, after taking this rapid-acting antihypertensive medicine, you should get better soon. But to be honest, Mr. Van Gundy, you must take a good rest and try not to be too agitated." The team doctor said and looked around for a circle. , I felt like I was talking nonsense.

"I know it’s not easy to meet the above requirements in your business. But for the sake of your own health, I think you should listen to my opinion. If there are no other problems, I will go out first. If you have any discomfort, just call it Me." After speaking, the team doctor picked up the first aid kit and walked out of the locker room. He knew that now Van Gundy needs to be alone with the players.

"Huh... help me up." Van Gundy took a deep breath, making sure he wouldn't faint again after exerting his force. In fact, Van Gundy didn't need to use any force at all. Anjie and Morris moved from left to right and easily stood Van Gundy up.

Westbrook immediately brought a small bench over, and everyone was staring at Van Gundy, for fear of something wrong with his coach.

"Don't look, I don't like being stared at by a group of big men." Van Gundy waved his hand, but still no one scattered.

"You really played today..."

"We know the boss, our appearance is rotten. It rotten like **** on the street in a slum, totally unbearable." Before Van Gundy finished speaking, Anjie took his words. He didn't want Van Gundy to get excited and fainted again after cursing.

"So you still know that you did a great job in the last game, but the victory has passed. You defeated the Lakers in the last game, and you may not be able to defeat them in this game. Look at your attitude on the court, KD, This is how the youngest scoring champion in the league plays? Don’t get rid of it and shoot directly against the defense. This is the secret of becoming a scoring champion? Russell, your breakthrough is fast and tough. It is a sharp weapon that all teams are afraid of. But today Well, soft, casual breakthroughs, except for mistakes and strikes, are of no use at all. Ann, O'Neal and Yao are impressed with you not because of your offense, but because of your toughness that never gives up Defensively, because you made these two incomprehensible guys feel difficult! But today? The Lakers' twin towers have been defeated consecutively by you, so you can relax your vigilance? Don’t forget how you beat them , You used your own sweat and hard work to win the Twin Towers!" Van Gundy said a lot in one breath, feeling his head aching again.

"I don't want to say too much, everyone else, you also have your own problems, I think you know it for yourself. Alton, you will be able to attend the press conference later on instead of me." Van Gundy held his forehead. , The players were so scared that sweat was dripping, for fear of Van Gundy's problems.

"Okay, let's do it today, disband. Tomorrow training as usual, we will go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow. I, I will rest in the locker room for a while." Van Gundy finished speaking and leaned back in his chair. The team doctor said that he should pay attention to rest. Yes, how long hasn't I slept well? Let alone rest, even taking antihypertensive drugs will be too busy to forget.

The players are very guilty, and Van Gundy's efforts are seen by everyone. The Thunder's talent is indeed amazing, but Van Gundy has only taken over the team for two years, giving the Thunder a qualitative leap. This is not something that players can do only with talent.

Van Gundy was at work when they were out for fun. When they slept in their mansion at night, Van Gundy was at work.

Van Gundy never blamed the team for losing. When the team wins, Van Gundy will never steal the limelight from the players. He always praises his players in front of the media, but rarely mentions himself in front of the media. When it comes to the Lakers, apart from Kobe, the second thing people think of is not Gasol, but Zen Master. But when it comes to the Thunder, Van Gundy is rarely remembered by people.

Van Gundy was just as unremarkable as his dilapidated Toyota sedan. But don’t forget that if this old Toyota wants to run as fast as other cars, it must run harder than other cars. Once this dilapidated Toyota is missing, Oklahoma City will lose an irreplaceable scene.

Thinking of the two years from the bottom of the league to the Western Conference semifinals, the feelings of guilt in the players' hearts are even more intense. Van Gundy's desperate efforts were wasted by their arrogance and relaxation. They can be irresponsible to themselves, but they must never squander other people's efforts for themselves.

"Boss, you will come later tomorrow. We...we will train ourselves." After Anjie changed his clothes, he squatted down in front of Van Gundy.

"Yes, yes, I would take the initiative to find a trainer to practice breakthrough without you, and I will never be lazy." Westbrook also ran to agree.

"I went to the strength room to increase the amount of training."

"I'll take care of the 50 return runs that I owe."

"I...I will help you teach this kid Ann!" Finally, Morris gave a unique answer.

Van Gundy almost couldn't hold back his laugh, but in order to make the group of boys reflect deeply, he suffocated his laughter and continued to grieve.

"Go ahead, I don't bother to talk to you now." Van Gundy waved his hand and motioned for the players to go home quickly.

Tonight, the Los Angeles Lakers are finally proud in Oklahoma City.

Tonight, Bynum and Gasol finally succeeded in rectifying their names.

Tonight, the reporters attending the press conference wanted to find out why Van Gundy was absent.

Tonight, the total score in the Western Conference semifinals was equalized again.

Tonight, too much happened ~www.NovelMTL.com~ but only what happened in the small home team locker room made Van Gundy most pleased.

They are just a group of children in their early twenties, and although Van Gundy calls them "gentlemen", they are still just children. As long as they have not fallen and are full of desire for victory, that is enough.

Van Gundy is not afraid of losing, he is afraid that the Thunder will lose because of depravity and complacency.

Van Gundy knew that the players were not joking just now. They will really go early tomorrow and will really complete the training in their absence. With this attitude, a loss in a game can be regarded as a reward.

As he himself said, a finished game has become history, and the history of another game will be written now.

When Van Gundy returned home, his wife and children were stunned. Van Gundy rarely comes back so early, and not a few times in a season. But afterwards, Van Gundy was greeted by the warm smiles of his wife and children.

Maybe, it's time for this hard-hitting coach to take a break...
