Chapter 903: It's Time
"He fell asleep. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the 2009-2010 season, after the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference Finals, a short but enthusiastic award ceremony was held in the Wachovia Center Arena.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Allen Iverson held the trophy representing the strongest player in the East high and met the warm eyes of the world, once again, standing on the top of the East.
It's not over yet, although the playoffs are still going on, although there are more formidable opponents waiting not far away.
But that night, it belonged to Philadelphia.
Soon after, the players returned to the dressing room for a short rest and a shower.
Later, at the press conference, the reporters waited eagerly for the Philadelphia hero to appear, but did not see the Oriental figure among the people who came to the scene.
In retrospect, shortly after the end of the game, Chen Mu disappeared.
Everyone was in the excitement, everyone was cheering. Although Chen Mu is very important, he is the master of this stadium and an absolute hero of Philadelphia. But it is not strange that Chen Mu did not notice Chen Mu's movements at this time.
The stadium was so noisy, too many people were walking back and forth on the pitch, people were constantly coming in and out, and the scene was very lively.
However, after not noticing for a while, Chen Mu disappeared.
Where did Chen Mu go? disappeared with him, as well as Milicic, although it is a bit cruel to say, but Milicic's movements are not so many people's attention.
So Chen Mu, where did he go?
"Really, I didn't lie, he fell asleep."
At the press conference, a reporter raised this question, and Carlisle replied without hesitation: "Darko accompanied him to the locker room to rest, and I don't know how long he will sleep, so I didn't let him come." ”
Milicic ...... Accompanied Chen Mu to sleep......?!!
This sentence is a bit informative!
Everyone was confused, and it was only when someone realized that Carlisle wasn't making some dirty jokes that everyone's hearts relaxed.
So...... Are you really asleep?
This one...... It's also a bit rare......!
"Averaging 26.2 rebounds per game, this is the most terrifying individual rebounding performance in NBA history since the technical statistics were perfected in 1985."
Although no one was at the press conference, all the topics still revolved around Chen Mu. A reporter got up and reported Chen Mu's data.
"Is there anything Coach Carlisle would like to say about this performance?"
"Phenomenal, dominant, all the words of praise are not enough to describe Chen's strength."
Carlisle said in a serious manner: "He is our cornerstone and the basis of all our tactical operations. To be able to coach a player like that...... It's a kind of happiness. ”
At the end, Carlyle's eyes even showed a somewhat exaggerated look. It's like a dream I've been dreaming for years has finally come true.
Rick Carlisle, his heart throbbing.
From the Pacers to the Pistons, Carlisle enjoyed the glory of his playing days, but in his coaching days, he has always been separated from the highest honors.
After working so long, trying to break through so many times, how many times Carlisle has already glimpsed the view of the highest peak.
But it fell to the bottom again and again.
Abandoned by the team, ridiculed by the fans, and seen by the team as a "good" coach who "can shape the foundation of the team, but cannot make the team to the top".
In other words, when the team is rebuilding, or when the team changes a lot, or when the team needs to build a winning culture, Carlisle is a good choice.
But if the team comes to a high point and wants to go one step further and chase the highest honors. Carlisle's strength, but it seems to have a flaw.
Just like Adelman, Jerry Sloan, and D'Antoni, he has always been a winning general in the regular season, and from time to time he has played a representative season to get the team to the top of the regular season.
But when it came to the critical moment, the team's changeable tactics and rigorous style encountered a bottleneck.
was completely defeated by those superstars who didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and played as much as they wanted.
The frustration and dissatisfaction continue to spread in the hearts of these coaches who have never been able to get that damn ring.
After being at home for a while, when he received offers from several teams, Carlisle thought about it carefully.
In the end, it was the Mavericks and the 76ers who made it to his final list.
The Mavericks, with a group of veterans, have a historic offensive ace power forward Deknowitski. Dirk's projection, back, and response abilities, Carlisle can come up with 10,000 offensive tactics with his toes.
And there are more veterans, although there are rotations, physical fitness, and health problems, but the players all have many years of experience, and there are even old monsters like Kidd. The tactical arrangement should be able to be implemented quickly. With the addition of one or two suitable players, the Mavericks' take-off is just around the corner.
And if the 76ers are chosen, a team that can be said to have come out of the ruins of the post-Iverson era, what Carlisle can get is a rising star who may become a superstar, or may not be just so - Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's skills are undoubted, but if he wants to be the core of his treacherous and changeable tactics, Chen Mu ...... Can it be done?
After carefully studying the footage of the game in Philadelphia, Carlisle decided to come to Philadelphia.
Here, there's more to it for.
Go to the Mavericks, maybe according to Cuban's big spending, after getting the players he wants, he can make the veterans' dreams come true and get a championship trophy.
But go to the 76ers, perhaps, can create a dynasty.
Maybe this time, it can really be ......
"There's still a game tomorrow in the West, and the Lakers are leading for the time being. If it ends up facing the Suns, what will be Philadelphia's overall strategy? What about a matchup with the Lakers? ”
Another reporter asked.
"The sun is fast, but we can play faster. Than speed, Philadelphia is not afraid of any team. ”
Carlisle is full of confidence: "The Lakers are very strong, especially Kobe Bryant on the inside and outside, and they are even more incomprehensible. As you know, they are indeed our bitter masters. But this year, I have a feeling. ”
"We ...... It can go one step further. ”
"Why? Where does the confidence come from? ”
The reporter asked.
"Because the sleeping hero, I said it at the end of last season."
A confident smile appeared on Carlisle's face.
"He said we'd win the championship and he never broke his word, so this time, it's time."
It's time!
Many local Philadelphia reporters were enthusiastic by Carlisle's sentence and wrote down this sentence.
It's time.
Philadelphia 76ers, it's time to get back to glory!
About an hour after the press conference.
Vajovia, home team dressing room.
"Hmmm......"
Chen Mu's headache was terrible, just like after a hangover, since the crossing, Chen Mu had hardly touched alcohol. This feeling is still left over from the "previous life", which makes him feel a little strange.
"It's ...... Dressing room? ”
Gradually waking up, Chen Mu raised his dazed head and squinted at the scene around him.
I was lying on the bed I usually used for physiotherapy, covered with a blanket, and the corners of the blanket were folded well. A small table with a glass of water on it.
Died of thirst.
Seeing the water, Chen Mu's senses seemed to have just been awakened. His throat was as hot as cotton on fire, so he reached out and picked up the water glass, straightened up, tilted his head and poured it down.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock"
Almost as soon as he drank it, the feeling of water flowing through his throat made Chen Musu wake up, and his whole body was full of soreness and tiredness, as if he was about to fall apart.
Look at the other side, there is a well-matched game meal.
After the game, some players will be very hungry, but they can't eat too much at this time, so what they eat is very important.
The meal was perfectly paired and seemed to have been specially prepared by a nutritionist, but ......
"Tick, tick"
Not far away, the clock was moving non-stop, and when he looked at the time, Chen Mu's eyes widened.
"! It's so late?! ”
The evening game is important, and the official time is naturally prime-time. It started at 9 o'clock and ended at about 11:30 o'clock, plus the award ceremony and the press conference, when it all ended, it should be more than 12 o'clock.
And now it's more than one o'clock in the morning, but Chen Mu is still sleeping here, which means.
"I missed the award ceremony and the press conference!"
Chen Mu exclaimed, he didn't expect that he had slept for so long. And think about it, when did you fall asleep?
The last memory is to hug Aaron, say something, and then ......
Then there was no consciousness.
Too tired?
What a pity!!
"Damn, I missed a great opportunity to put a fork in my head!!"
…… That's right, our protagonist, sometimes, is a bit of a wooden-minded person......
"Ah, yes!"
After shouting for a while, Chen Mu remembered that after such an important game was over and won, his mobile phone should have been blown up a long time ago. I just wanted to get up and look for my phone, but I found that the phone was not far away, quietly swinging, and it had entered Do Not Disturb mode.
Who helped me switch?
Light up the screen, a lot of missed calls, text messages, Twitter and other APP reminder messages. After reading it roughly, most of them are congratulations from friends.
"Congratulations."
Mike Jordan, a cold one.
"Good ball!!"
Boss Su, as always, was shocked.
"Brother Mu, pay attention to your body, don't come back too late!"
Xiao Nizi always pays attention to Chen Mu's body.
"Wonderful, my hero."
Michael Jackson, this text message is worth a thousand dollars.
There are also many text messages from players, commentators, and people from all walks of life who will not repeat them.
Let's send a text message back to Yin'er first!
At this time, Xiao Nizi should have fallen asleep, and the phone stopped calling.
Just when Chen Mu was about to type.
"Purr...... Purr ......"
The snoring sounded not far away.
Looking up, Dacomilisic, who hadn't changed his jersey yet, just sat on the chair next to Chen Mu and fell asleep with his head sideways.
"Darko ......!"
All the details, all the care, every bit of care......
Chen Mu's eyes were actually a little moist.
Thank you, Daktronics.
Got up and walked over to Milicic and put the blanket over the big man in Serbia.
Half a month later......
I'll bring you back to glory! (To be continued.) )
