Zhao Feiyang's big hat ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience, and also made the sophomore team nervous again. Before the ball was officially issued, the sophomore team was called for the next timeout by captain Damian Lillard.
During the timeout, several core players from the sophomore team gathered together to discuss new tactics.
From the close-ups of the live footage, you can see that Damian Lillard, as the captain, is constantly discussing something with other people, and other players also express their opinions from time to time.
On the first-year team, Michael Carter also imitated Damian Lillard and expressed his opinions, trying to guide other teammates to cooperate. However, he had played too many singles before and his teammates simply ignored him.
"Uh... guys, listen to me, it's time for us to come together..."
"We are still 10 points away. There are 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game. We have every chance to turn defeat into victory..."
Michael Carter looked earnest.
His words were quickly echoed by his teammates.
"Michael, you don't think we lost those 10 points, do you?"
"That's right. How many turnovers did you make before? Do you want to see how many times you shot? And how many times we shot?"
"Fuck the game, we know you want to win MVP! Just like in the beginning, that's your business and has nothing to do with us..."
The teammates' words made Michael Carter speechless!
But he couldn't refute it, because what his teammates said was indeed true.
His number of shots is currently the highest on the team. Although the data ranks first on the team, he also misses the most shots.
He has already lost the trust of most of his teammates in his previous singles.
Michael Carter was helpless.
He was about to curse a few words to get angry, and when he was about to turn around and ignore these guys, suddenly, a hand wrapped around his shoulder.
The person who extended his hand was none other than Zhao Feiyang. He didn't speak until he got off the stage just so as not to have any conflict with Michael Carter. Now that he saw that Michael Carter couldn't handle the others, Zhao Feiyang officially stood up.
He stopped Michael Carter, who was about to leave, and called the other players together, "Guys, being downcast is not what we should do!"
"Look!" Zhao Feiyang pointed in the direction of the sophomore team's bench, "Those guys are more excited than the other. They must think they can win against us..."
"Maybe some people will say, 'Look! Those rookies are destined to lose, they are not worthy of being our opponents!' The outside world has always believed that our rookie class is not as good as theirs..."
"Fuck the game, I don't really care about winning or losing, and I don't care about MVP... I just don't want those guys to look down on us. They just entered the league one year earlier than us, so why should we care about it?" Pretending to be an old bird in front of you?"
"Labor and management just want to defeat them and let them know that rookies are not easy to mess with..."
Zhao Feiyang's words immediately resonated with his teammates.
Especially Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo. He was often targeted by thick-browed Anthony Davis on the court. There were many times when he was frustrated. The opponent often spat at him and deliberately interfered with his performance. mentality.
"Zhao, you are right. I have long disliked those guys... Tell me! What do I need to do in the next game?"
"Count me in!"
"Count me in, I don't care about winning or losing or who gets the MVP, I just want to see those guys cry after losing..."
Michael Carter was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
He didn't expect that he could not compare to Zhao Feiyang's few simple words despite his earnest words. Just stating a seemingly random feeling can resonate so much with other teammates.
"Shet!"
"That bastard said it well!"
Although Michael Carter was a little dissatisfied and complained a few words in his heart, he had to admit that these words really touched the fate of others.
For those non-core players, they know that they can't win the MVP, and they just want to score two more points to show off.
So there is no use painting a pie for them!
You can change the perspective and put everyone's dissatisfaction with the veterans first, which can actually arouse everyone's dissatisfaction at the same time.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded, the timeout ended, and the game between the two sides started again.
Zhao Feiyang also briefly discussed the new tactics with his teammates, everyone put their hands together, and then the main players came on stage again.
During the whole process, Gary Payton, who was standing aside with his hands on his hips, was a little embarrassed. As the interim coach, he planned to arrange new tactics for the players at the last moment, but when Zhao Feiyang opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't shout at all. Move other players.
He said "assembly" several times in a row, but the players "coincidentally" ignored them all!
In order to cover up his embarrassment, the depressed Gary Payton had to quietly sit on the team bench aside. The live camera captured this wonderful scene, and many fans couldn't help laughing when they saw Gary Payton being left out.
Of course, there was one person who was not smiling.
Dennis Rodman's situation is not much better! His tactics have not been used much since the beginning of the game, especially after Damian Lillard came on the stage to organize the offense, Dennis Rodman's tactics were directly abandoned.
When the game reached the critical moment of the last quarter, Dennis Rodman became invisible and no longer had the role of interim coach.
Even the timeout whistle was called by Damian Lillard himself to the referee.
"Farke!"
"The children have grown up... let them be! Dad can't control you anymore..."
Dennis Rodman crossed his legs and leaned on the chair in the team bench. Wearing sunglasses, he shook his head while imitating the characters in the movie and saying the lines.
On the field.
The sophomore team serves again.
Damian Lillard got the ball, and he controlled the ball while organizing his teammates to move. Suddenly, Anthony Davis ran out from the right corner, and Damian Lillard quickly passed the ball to him.
After receiving the basketball, Anthony Davis pretended to play singles, but actually threw the ball to Harrison Perot who rushed to the basket with a second pass.
Harrison Perreault leapt high to receive an empty pass, and when he was about to score the goal, Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo suddenly burst out from the side.
Snapped.
Another big shot was delivered.
All the fans in the audience exclaimed.
The basketball rolled out, Zhao Feiyang picked it up, and threw it directly to Michael Carter, who was closest to the midline.
Michael Carter ran wildly with the ball and quickly reached the half court. Just as he lifted the basketball for a layup, Bradley Beal, who was chasing behind him, suddenly approached, and their bodies were almost touching.
At the critical moment, Michael Carter, who felt that he was likely to be blocked, passed the ball decisively.
Snapped.
Zhao Feiyang, who followed up, was already standing on the three-point line in the left corner. After successfully catching the ball, he jumped up and took a shot.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
