Chapter 261 The Ending Midfield

At the end of the Spurs bench, Yang Ke was sitting there, holding a bottle of Gatorade in his hand.He lowered his head and covered his head with a slightly wet towel, making it difficult for people to see his state clearly.However, his slightly trembling body revealed his uneasy state of mind at this moment.

Noticing Yang Ke's strangeness, Ginobili and Whiteside changed seats, sat on Yang Ke's right, reached out and took the towel off his head, and said at the same time, "Yang, that's not how towels are used."

With the disappearance of the covering, Ginobili saw Yang Ke's expressionless, woodcut-like face.His slightly sunken eyes stared at the floor in a daze, without any reaction to his movements.

Ginobili frowned slightly, hooked Yang Ke's head with his hands, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Yang, remember that you are just a rookie, and you can perform like this in your rookie season. Amazing!"

"I once told you that there is still a long way to go, and you still have a lot to learn. Don't let the momentary emotions affect you, don't take it too seriously."

Feeling the care and comfort from Ginobili, Yang Ke cheered up a lot, forced a smile, and said slowly: "Don't worry Manu, I didn't make a fool of myself. It's just that I was out of shape tonight and played very badly. It hurts me, it hurts badly."

After saying this, thinking about what happened on the court before, Yang Ke finally couldn't help asking: "Manu, do you think I was targeted by the referee tonight?"

Ginobili was not at all surprised by Yang Ke's suspicion of the referee.Shaking his head, he patted Yang Ke on the shoulder and said: "Nothing, everyone will make mistakes in the game, whether it is a player or a referee. Players will hit irons and make fools, and referees will also miss and misjudge. At times, this is normal.”

"I know too."

Yang Ke sighed with distress on his face, everyone understands these truths.But after experiencing it for yourself, you will understand that it is far from being as easy as you think.

Looking at Yang Ke in this state, Ginobili can only say: "This is part of a career. If you want to achieve a brilliant future, you must look forward instead of dwelling on one or two mistakes or flaws in front of you." .”

Yang Ke stared at Ginobili, and after a while, he nodded thoughtfully.There are many things in life that are unclear and unclear. Perhaps only a long experience can let time clear up your doubts.

…………

Soon after, the first half of the game came to an end.Under the leadership of the Big Three, the Knicks have been firmly in control of the rhythm of the game.So that at the end of the half, the Knicks led the Spurs by 18 points.

On the VIP seat on the right side of the technical stage, Spike Lee picked up the Coke that was placed at his feet before, took a sip with great comfort, and at the same time couldn't help but said: "This competition will be boring at once!"

Having said that, Spike Lee's lips drew a perfect arc, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that he was in a happy mood at this time.Maybe the game may really become boring, but who makes his favorite team have a greater advantage.

Taylor Swift frowned, for some reason this sounded a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help retorting: "I happen to have a different opinion on this, the game still has the second half, everything has not yet been decided!"

Glancing sideways at Taylor, Spike Lee shook the Coke cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Although the Spurs have not collapsed under the efforts of Mills, Diaw and others, they have been led by the nose by the Knicks."

Taylor was at a loss for words for a moment, and she also knew that although the Spurs were performing very smoothly now, facing this situation, if they didn't take a slant to regain the rhythm, it would just be a slow death.

Tilting his head, Spike Lee continued: "The three of GDP were not on the court, and Popovich was sent off again. Who do you think the Spurs rely on to chase points?"

Without even thinking about it, Taylor blurted out, "Yang Ke!"

After giving Taylor a meaningful look, Spike Lee then shrugged and said, "It is undeniable that he is indeed a very good young man. Maybe he can do it on weekdays, but tonight he is in deep trouble!"

Adjusting his sunglasses, and staring at the three referees who started to discuss, Taylor said indignantly, "That's because he was treated unfairly tonight!"

In the NBA, the referees who hold the most power on the field often have a series of "hidden rules" for law enforcement, such as star whistle, rookie whistle, balance whistle and so on.And these shady referee law enforcement "principles" can often affect the outcome of a game.

"I didn't expect you to say such a thing."

Spike Lee felt a little surprised and looked at Taylor in surprise.On this continent, almost every circle has similar or similar "hidden rules".As Taylor is a top celebrity in the music industry, she should be very clear about it.

"Why, it's okay to complain a few words?"

Taylor sneered, but his attitude was no longer as clear as before.To be precise, she knew very well that the referee's actions were indeed wrong, but it couldn't be said that it was right or wrong.

The "principle" of refereeing exists because it's good for the league, it's good for the TV, it's good for the game.This "hidden rule" exists by default in the entire circle, and it is the result of compromise between all parties.

Coincidentally, other "hidden rules" are the same.They are inseparable from the industry, and the industry thrives on them.

"No, it's normal!"

Sighing, Spike Lee put the Coca-Cola back at his feet, looked up at the ceiling with a complicated expression.Every movie he makes, no matter whether it is successful or hit the street, has its existence behind what ordinary people can't see.

A lonely jersey suddenly flashed in his vision, and Spike Lee thought of the young man on the Knicks team. He was crazy about him a few days ago, but now he has forgotten it.

Shaking his head, thinking of the protagonist in the previous chat, Spike Lee suddenly said: "Taylor, you said that facing the rules of existence all the time, which way would Yang go?"

Facing the rules is nothing more than three choices: first, become a strong man and let the rules change for you; second, change yourself, adapt to the rules, and climb to the sky with the help of the rules; third, swing left and right and become mediocre.

After pondering for a moment, Taylor said slowly: "As far as I know, Yang is a smart person, and at the same time he is born to be strong, so..."

Standing up from his seat, Spike Lee patted his pants, interrupted Taylor, and said leisurely: "In the whole world, there are many brave people like Derek Rose, but in the end, there are very few people who make the rules change on their own initiative." Not many."

After a pause, Spike Lee turned around, looked at Taylor, and then continued: "Jeremy Lin is also a smart person, and he also wants to become stronger, but now he has failed! As a rare success on this road, I think you should know why?"

"...some things are more important than hard work."
