play for it

Chapter 268 End
After the goal, Ginobili unexpectedly called a short timeout. After all the players left the field, he turned around and waved his arm at a player on the bench, shouting: "James, get ready, I need you to replace Yang!"

Hearing the call, James Anderson pulled up from the chair, quickly dragged down his coat, and started warming up on the sidelines.

Although his physical stamina was almost exhausted, Yang Ke didn't want to end at the moment.The score is still very anxious, Yang Ke thinks the team still needs him to stay on the court, you must know that the Knicks dare not ignore his outside shooting ability.

Just like the offense in the round just now, he only needs to stand outside the three-point line, and he will be like a magnet, invisibly attracting the defender's attention.

In short, Yang Ke felt that he was still useful, so he put down Gatorade directly, turned around and said, "Manu, it's not too late to replace me after the third quarter, I can persevere!"

"I know."

Ginobili nodded when he heard the words, without denying it.As a player, Ginobili understands Yang Ke's reluctance to leave the court, and he also knows that he can grit his teeth and persevere in the remaining minute of the third quarter.

However, considering the overall situation, this is obviously not a correct choice. Putting his hand on Yang Ke's shoulder, Ginobili said slowly: "Yang, you are not a dispensable rookie now! The last quarter still It's up to you to fight! You really need a break!"

Green quite agreed with this, and said: "Manu is right, you are the core and the leader now, and we are all playing around you. You have to rest now, or you will not be able to play in the fourth quarter of the decisive game!"

"I understand."

It was only then that Yang Ke remembered that he had been the temporary leader of the team since the midfield.Many decisions and choices can no longer be as willful as before.

After figuring it out, Yang Ke took the initiative to walk to Anderson, reached out to shake his hand, and said with a smile: "Dude, go up and kick their ass! It depends on your performance!"

Frowning, Anderson grinned and opened his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth, and said leisurely: "Take a good rest! Don't worry, we are old birds, not so easy to deal with!"

After the timeout was over, the players walked onto the court. Yang Ke was still standing aside, holding the towel handed over by the staff and wiping the sweat off his body.

After strenuous exercise, the body's blood circulation and heart rate will increase. If you stop exercising immediately, it is easy to cause chest tightness, dizziness, shortness of breath and even shock.

But Yang Ke's physical consumption and physical condition this time are far worse than when he was off the court in the past, so he has to be cautious.So although he was extremely eager to sit down, he still chose to stand for a while and wait until his heartbeat stabilized before sitting down and resting.

At this time, Ginobili leaned over. He was very pleased with Yang Ke's performance in the third quarter, so he said: "Yang, you played beautifully! You are very competent as a core player!"

"Manu, stop talking nonsense."

Yang Ke smiled wryly and shook his head. He still has self-knowledge, and he is still far from being a qualified core.

Don't look at him playing vigorously on the field, but after calming down and thinking about it now, he realized that he had problems in his choices and shots several times.Fortunately, with the support of Dior and others, he barely made any mistakes.

Ginobili waved his hand and said solemnly: "I'm not lying. For the first time, your core is already very good. However, there are indeed many problems. The most important thing is that your mentality has not been adjusted yet. .”

Yang Ke frowned: "Attitude?"

"Yes, although you are enjoying the core treatment, you are also trying to bear the burden of the core, but from the bottom of your heart, you have not yet regarded yourself as the core."

Mental problems, Ginobili has long been aware of, after all, he has experienced this situation before.

Soon, the third quarter of the game ended, the score was 70:63, and the away Spurs led by 7 points.

For this still very anxious point difference, both sides can obviously accept it.However, the fans of Madison Garden were not so calm. You must know that before halftime, the team still had a double-digit lead.

And now, the third quarter was played 30:11? It turned the Spurs directly. This scene is so familiar. It seems to be this routine when the team loses in the past. This time makes them a little difficult to accept.

Spike Lee, who was sitting on the sidelines, had a livid face at this moment.If he lost to the complete Spurs, he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable, after all, the strength gap between the two does exist.

But facing only a Spurs without GDP, Spike Lee couldn't figure out why the Knicks, which had the Big Three, still fell below.

Taylor Swift looked very open, took a sip of the drink, and then said: "Don't think about it, we don't specialize in basketball, so what if we find the reason? As long as this game is exciting?"

Turning his head, Spike Lee gave Taylor an angry look, and counterattacked: "Come on, when the Spurs fell behind in the first half, I don't know who panicked somewhere."

Then, remembering that he would meet Taylor on the sidelines from time to time in the past, Spike Lee couldn't help but wondered, and asked, "By the way, you used to be a die-hard Knicks fan, why did you overturn the wall now?"

"I don't know basketball."

Shaking his head, Taylor smiled and said, "At that time, I came here to watch the game, just to increase exposure, and of course it is the same now. The reason why I support the Spurs is because my best friend's boyfriend is on the team."

Ha ha!

Spike Lee took a deep look at Taylor, and he didn't believe a single punctuation mark in her words.However, Spike Lee didn't continue talking, turned his head, bent down to pick up the drink cup placed at his feet, and took a sip impatiently.

Meanwhile, on the Knicks bench, Woodson walked up to Anthony, leaned over, and asked, "Carmelo, are you ready?"

"Ok!"

Anthony nodded, stood up from his seat, took off his coat calmly, and arranged his equipment.After getting ready, Anthony realized that he had attracted everyone's attention, which made him stunned.

Seeing this scene, Woodson was not surprised, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to say something?"

No matter how you say it, Anthony is a veteran with great achievements. He quickly came back to his senses, looked at his teammates, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "This year we have been plagued by injuries, and the media and fans look down on We, but we got through it, and the only obstacle left in front of us right now is ourselves."

"There are three games left before the playoffs. At this point, all the achievements we have achieved in the regular season, whether it is me personally or the team, have no meaning."

Since entering the league, Anthony's playoff career winning probability is only 31.5%, which is the lowest winning rate among star players who averaged at least 20 points per game in the regular season!
This hit him hard, without Anthony being very strong, he firmly believes that every playoffs is a new start, so the downturn in the past will not affect his confidence in the first round of this year's playoffs, and he also hopes that his teammates Also like myself.

"To be honest, I don't know what's going to happen in the future. But given where we are now, it's time for us to accomplish, change, something special for the sake of the playoffs."

"That's right now."

"I want to hear your voices."
