Lisko’s American Life

Denver, Nuggets, Denver Pepsi Center.

The team had just finished a game, and almost all the players were downcast and packed their bags exhaustedly. Some players had already entered the washroom to wash off their fatigue.

From the atmosphere of the entire lounge, it can be seen that they have just experienced a big battle, and if nothing else, the battle obviously ended in failure.

In fact, playing in this commercial league, winning or losing is originally a 10-point flat thing. In addition, it is only a regular season system. According to the results achieved by the Nuggets at this time, they are almost firmly in the playoffs, which has exceeded the expectations of all fans. anticipation and anticipation.

After all, the current team has just been reorganized, and the cooperation and tacit understanding between everyone is not so sufficient. It needs game after game and time to hone it.

And this run-in time is almost half a season, and it has just begun.

After so many days of playing the game, the players have already gained some understanding of each other's offensive and defensive characteristics, and the results will definitely get better and better if they continue to continue, but today is an exception. I don't know why. Players are completely out of shape.

Counting the results of this game, the Nuggets have already experienced a 5-game losing streak. Although the fans still treat the team with the biggest beauty, there are currently no claims or reports attacking the Nuggets on the market. The defeat has made all the players feel unconfident. If it continues, everyone will be intimidated, and the losing streak will continue.

This situation is something that all the management and the team's head coach do not want to see. After the game is over, the coach specially arranges an assistant coach on one side and tells all the players not to leave the team lounge for the time being and wait After I participated in the media interview, I came back to give a speech.

After each game, the coaches of the two teams will participate in a meeting held by the media. This is already a practice in this league. Players who perform outstandingly in this game will also be honored to participate in the interview meeting with the coaches.

But today's Nuggets coaches are all over the court, and every player seems not qualified to attend the meeting with him, so he chooses to go alone to face the ridicule of another winning team, as well as the attacks and doubts of all the reporters.

At the meeting, he admitted that it was his tactical failure and the reasons for the poor state of the players. At the same time, he would like to extend his most sincere apology to all the fans who cared about and came to the venue to watch the game. At the same time, he also promised that this disadvantage It will be reversed soon, and in the next time, I and all the team's staff and players will work harder and strive to win every game.

Perhaps it is because the team has been stuck in the quagmire for too long before, so all fans and the media have a lot of tolerance for the current Nuggets teammates. After all, no matter how bad this team is, how bad can it be? Woolen cloth? It's better to pin hope and pray for the day when they can turn around and shine again.

The coach who ended the media meeting was full of bitterness. Since he took over the position of head coach of the team, he has been conscientious. His daily rest time has been suppressed infinitely. He spends all his free time thinking about the team's opponents and how to improve. The strength of the players.

If the cleaning staff working in the main venue should have a very clear understanding, when they go to the coach's office to clean up every morning, they can see cigarette butts all over the floor and cup after cup of coffee paper cups.

I have put in all my energy and ability, but I still can't save the team's losing streak. The coach feels very helpless and sad. Although the current team's general manager and behind-the-scenes boss support me very much and trust my ability, but The results I can achieve really live up to everyone's value and trust.

This feeling made him very tormented. He was not only worried about whether he would be removed from the car, but also doubted that his own ability was not suitable for continuing to be the head coach.

Standing at the door of the lounge, the coach hesitated a little. He didn't know what expressions and words he should use to motivate the players who had just suffered a blow, let alone what was the reason for the team's defeat. Is it because the cooperation is not tacit enough? Some personal abilities are not good enough? Or is there something wrong with my own tactics?

There has never been a clear answer to these matters. If it is not tacit understanding, then I will increase the corresponding running-in training to solve this matter as soon as possible, but the most training the entire team does at present is to cooperate with each other.

It is nonsense to say that personal ability is not good enough. After Risco joined the Nuggets, the team has sufficient funds on the books, and after digging out Paul Yao Ming and Antetokounmpo. The lineup capabilities of the entire team are infinitely strengthened. Relying on the joint efforts of these three superstars, it can be said that this lineup is competitive in the entire league.

If it’s a problem with my own tactics, it’s completely impossible. After all, I’m a professional basketball coach. Those who graduated from the school are good at these academic tactical arrangements and commands. It seems that I’ve never appeared in other teams before. Tactical mistakes.

Squatting down at the door, quietly lit a cigarette, stared blankly at the wall in front of him, and at the same time was reflecting on the current problems encountered by the team and the specific reasons.

Soon a cigarette was quickly burned out. No matter how difficult it was, the coach knew that it was time to face these players. Everyone had waited long enough and there was no need to delay any longer.

Gently opened the door, almost all the players were sitting next to their exclusive wardrobes, without saying a word, some were watching the news on their mobile phones, some were staring blankly at the wall at the top of the lounge , Some people are idly closing their eyes and resting their minds, while others are patting the basketball in their hands.

The basketball made close contact with the ground and made a bang bang sound, which was very loud and long in the extremely quiet lounge.

At the same time, everyone's hair is covered with some moisture, some are sweat, and some are water droplets that have just come out of the bathroom and have not been completely dried.

"Is everyone there?"

The coach glanced at the people in the entire lounge at the door, and asked, trying to use this sentence as a foreshadowing for what he was going to say next.

But at this time the atmosphere in the lounge was still frozen, and everyone remained silent, as if they hadn't heard the coach's question. This look of a defeated general completely angered the head coach, George Karl.
