668 To Do or Not to Do?
"After tonight, our team will start training with more targeted training. If you don't want to do it or don't feel like you're 90 per cent, you're basically not far away from leaving the team."
Chen sat on the couch for a while and then spoke quietly. The voice was calm and powerful, as if a stone that had suddenly fallen into the water had scared the fish away. The air around them suddenly fell silent.
"Coach, we usually train, is there any difference this time?" Goodwin asked, thinking that he had guessed correctly.
"This time it was different from the usual training. Let me start with a question for you, do you think we're going to make the playoffs this season? Oh, and one more, how far do we want to go if we make the playoffs? ”
"The coach feels like the playoffs are still very far away from us. I think it's pretty good that we can go from 15 to 14...... It's hard," Jefferson felt his voice getting quieter and quieter as he said this.
"Well, that's good. Everybody talked, relaxed, knowing that I should have said to you as soon as I entered the room," Chen just leaned back on the couch with the players on his back. There was a feeling that it was just a hallucination when the lights were not turned on at night, making some players feel as if they were in a dream.
"I feel like even if we finally make it to the playoffs, we will probably be swept out in the first round, that's my idea. This season has complicated a lot. A lot of teams have become strong teams, and I feel like every team has become a strong team now," Mozgov said as he looked at Chen's back sitting on the couch.
"It's because we're getting too weak. So it looks like that team is not easy to play, but if it is another team such as the Magic or the Bulls, it is estimated that this game will be won today," Russell received after hearing Mozgov's words.
"It's true that this season feels like it's getting harder. It is also true that when a team is in a relatively low position, it basically does not give much judgment to other teams now. Chen suddenly stood up from the couch and startled the players around him.
It was as if there was suddenly one more person in the night...... There was silence again.
'There will be some players leaving the team this season. Our team has been like this all these years. However, during this period, whether you choose to be traded at a low price, or exercise yourself well, and get more points on the field to have a decent salary is also up to you. The choice is up to each of you."
Egyptian Dius lowered his head at this time and felt a little uncomfortable, he controlled himself not to show this emotion, so his shoulders trembled slightly. But what reassures him is that no one else can see this in the dimly lit room. And the room without the lights makes people's sense of hearing more acute.
"Maybe some of you think it's just started this season. But I don't feel like time is running out. Get a good night's sleep here. I can't sleep and go out for a walk and come back, and tomorrow we will fly back to Brooklyn because we will be delayed in the morning, so we will have to make up for the training in the evening. You can choose not to, but I'll think of you right away when the team starts."
"Can the coach have a day off tomorrow? There are still a few days left until the next game~" Quincy said weakly at this time.
"No, you can't. And Atkinson also knows about this, and if you don't believe me, you can read the email message between me and Atkinson. I will arrange a specific break" After Chen finished speaking, he walked directly to the door and opened the door of the hotel, the light outside was a little dazzling.
However, the players were not in a hurry to leave. Everyone just watched quietly as the door was shut, and darkness once again enveloped the room.
"Huh? Do you think it's going to be a dream? It just so happened that everyone had this dream, maybe the pressure of this game was too much~ Our tacit understanding is good. That's why I entered this dream~ I really hope that when I open my eyes and find myself in bed, it is already dawn"
Quincy's words amused everyone at once. But the laughter didn't last long, but seemed to stop abruptly at some point. I thought it would be nice if it was a dream.
......
"It doesn't matter too much about your fitness on the field! Sometimes it's the team that needs it, sometimes it's the score difference that you need to stay, and sometimes it's the coach who forgets about you~" Some of the players couldn't help laughing when Steve said this.
"You are, Gu ...... Devin? It's okay, understandable. But what I want to say is that you won't be able to laugh when you get there. Mozgov, did you know that from the last game? ”
Several players and Steve looked at Mozgov. The big man nodded slightly.
"There may be doubts, not many now. But when it's time to practice, I think, why do I come here with me when I'm an NBA player? I'm pretty good on the field, and I'm just going to get over, isn't it? "Steve looked at everyone as if he wanted to see the hearts of the players.
"If you want to be a blue-collar player who is okay. You have to train your body well, at least generally, if it's too big, you can't find it. If you want to be a great player, like a star player. You're not Booker, and you're not Kobe. A personal score of almost 100 is not so easy to get on a whim, of course, there is also the effort of your teammates here~"
"So if you want to be that kind of player, physical fitness is a basic condition. And if you want to play in the playoffs, you have to do it. Now it's time to train, teach me your energy, and teach your body to your bed at night. ”
Some of the players are actually already shaking a little. They know it's the former Nuggets' strength and conditioning coach! In the rest of the training, as a few of them thought. The general training has increased more than several times in terms of volume!!
Egyptian Diyus didn't sleep very well the night before. Today he ignored that. Instead, I started training under the guidance of the trainer. When I first started to pick up those devices, it felt heavy.
But he got into training right away. It wasn't long before Egyptian Diyus began to gasp for air! And the players around me are still training there very easily.
It's time to start a full-court switchback run. At this time, Egyptian Dius felt a little dizzy. Now he usually thinks half of his training is a little hard! Not to mention today's training!
The players around him were training while thinking about what Chen had said last night and what Steve had said today. Every player feels differently. Crabbe slept late yesterday. He feels like maybe this team is really going to change.
And what Jefferson and Lin and Goodwin feel is that the Nets' state of the previous year seems to be back! But there is still a difference from that time. It feels like the goal is bigger this season in Brooklyn than in previous years!
Thinking of this, their hearts were a little bottomless for a while. Suddenly, there was a loud noise not far from them. The players, trainers and assistant coaches looked up at almost the same time to see what was going on.
Jeremy Lin's first reaction was that some equipment was broken, and when he thought of this, he immediately felt worried.
