The King of the NBA

In the Timberwolves locker room, the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

If the game is lost, the season will be over, and they will be eliminated 2:4. Although they have already prepared for this kind of mental preparation, at this time, the generals of the Timberwolves are still very unwilling and uncomfortable.

If you win this game, can you come back? Can they advance to the finals, and can they create another miracle when they reach the finals? Anyway, as long as you keep going, there is hope.

But now, hope is gone.

Ning Yi lowered his head, covered his head with a towel, and let his brain empty. He is actually relatively calm, knowing that even if he can win this game, it does not mean that he can win the tiebreaker. Even if he wins the tiebreaker, there are still In the Western Conference finals, or even the finals, with the current strength of the Timberwolves to compete with the Thunder and even the Heat?

This is unrealistic and almost certain to lose.

But even so, when the game ended, Ning Yi still felt very lost, and his heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden.

"I hate failure." Ning Yi growled in his heart.

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of his teammates at the moment of failure, seeing the disappointment and even disappointment on the faces of the fans, he was very uncomfortable, really uncomfortable, even if he knew the result, even if he was prepared, so what? Ning Yi is also a human being, he will be lost, he will be unwilling, and he will also feel sad.

Le Fu was sitting next to Ning Yi, his face was numb, his eyes were staring at the front, not knowing what he was thinking.

Rubio, Martin, Pekovic, Dion. In fact, the more players come back for the game and the more they have a sense of belonging to the team, the more uncomfortable they feel at this time.

On the contrary, there are some players who don't have much playing time and are almost just spectators on the sidelines. There is no big fluctuation in their hearts, such as Zeiss Budinger.

"Alas." Adelman sighed in his heart, seeing the appearance of everyone, he clapped his hands and raised his voice, "Isn't it just a loss, have we been eliminated? We lost now, but it doesn't mean we will in the future. cheer up."

Everyone was shocked and raised their heads.

Adelman said again: "We lost this series, but I am satisfied with your performance. You know, this is the first time we have entered the playoffs in several years. Originally, I asked you to pass the first round. One round, you have done it. And, this round against the Spurs, we hit the sixth game. You have proved yourself, one loss is not everything, and people will not deny you because of one loss. This time We have failed, but there is a future."

Listening, flames ignited in everyone's hearts, and their eyes lit up.

Ning Yi removed the towel from his head, and he also realized that he is the core of the team and should not be immersed in failure. He stood up and said to everyone: "Brothers, we are here, and the dream is here. This time we lost , that means we are not strong enough, what we should do is not to remember the failure, but to work harder to make ourselves stronger, so that we can come back stronger in the next season. In the next season, we will never repeat the same mistakes .”

These words completely ignited the blood in the hearts of everyone.

Le Fu looked at Ning Yi, and suddenly sighed in his heart. Maybe he is indeed not as good as Ning Yi, and he has more leadership qualities. In this case, he can't say it.

Of course, at this time, Le Fu also had to say something: "Brothers, I know you are very disappointed, very sad, and I am also very sad, but I will not allow myself to be sad for too long, um, I plan to give myself a night. Today I may be drunk, but when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will forget about this game, I will forget about this season. I will tell myself to move on, and I hope you will also move on and forget about this failure."

Everyone laughed, knowing that Le Fu said "maybe drunk" was a joke, Le Fu is still very strict with himself, and will not go to get drunk just because he lost this game.

But Le Fu's suggestion is good, give yourself one night to be sad, and when you wake up the next morning, forget about this failure and move forward.

"Love, you are right. I have decided, and I will only give myself one night."

"One night is too long, I only give myself an hour."

"I only need half an hour. I think after half an hour, I can go to training. Hehe, I think you will probably be asleep by then."

"Hey, I'm a fragile person, can I take two days?"

"Ha ha."

Everyone laughed, and the oppressive atmosphere was swept away.

That night, everyone in the Timberwolves reached an agreement to only give themselves one night, and after tonight, they all cheered up.

Ning Yi also gave himself one night, returning home from the arena, Jenna came, seemed a little worried about Ning Yi, Ning Yi smiled at her, told Jenna that she was fine, and sent Jenna away.

Sending Jenna away, Ning Yi looked at the time, it seemed that it was a bit over, it was already eleven o'clock, but he quickly realized that it was eleven o'clock in the evening here, and it was still morning in China, he pressed the dial button, there The phone was connected quickly, and when he heard the voice on the phone, Ning Yi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he called: "Grandma."

After half an hour, Ning Yi hung up the phone.

At this time, Ning Yi had already come out of the defeat. He didn't tell his grandma about losing the game, but just asked how his grandma was doing, and chatted with her about some family issues.

Ning Yi didn't want his grandma to worry, but he would also be weak. At this time, he didn't want others to see it, including Downey, Jenna, and brothers like Liu Dan and Zhao Haoran.

Only in front of grandma, Ning Yi can be weak.

In Ning Yi's heart, grandma will always be the one who loves him. In the eyes of grandma, he may always be a child. Children can be weak and cry.

Although he was afraid that his grandma would be worried, Ning Yi didn't tell his grandma, nor did he show his emotions. He just chatted with her, but this was enough.

"Now, let go of failure and look forward." Ning Yi took a deep breath, thought for a while, and felt that he might not be able to sleep well tonight, so he simply changed his jersey and ran to the center of the target.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, the street was very quiet, and some places were dark.

Ning Yi ran all the way, and soon arrived at the Target Center arena. When he entered the door, the guard gave him a strange look, but he didn't ask anything. He opened the door and let Ning Yi in.

Ning Yi pushed open the door of the training gymnasium on the basement floor, and was taken aback for a moment. He couldn't help being surprised: "Le Fu, why are you here?"

At the same time, outside the arena.

A tall person came and put down his hoodie. The security guard saw the person clearly, and he couldn't help being stunned, thinking to himself: "What's the situation, first it was Love, then Ning, now Martin is back, could it be Coach Adelman's arrangement is a mysterious late-night training plan?"
