Chapter 387: It's not about winning a game, it's about winning a round

“…… YEAH!!!! ”

In the Auburn Hills Palace court, the Pistons fans were lonely, the Pistons players were lonely, and the 76ers players and coaches held back their inner ecstasy, and they were not too arrogant on the road, keeping a low profile as much as possible and leaving the court quickly.

Only the heartless Carney howled, causing a burst of angry eyes from the fans.

"Hurry up, hurry up, walk quickly!"

Before many fans could react to what was happening, Chen Mu grabbed Carney's neck and walked off the field, plunged into the players' tunnel, no matter what sound he heard behind him, he didn't look back, and quickly returned to the locker room.

"Win...... Won. ”

Walking into the locker room, Chen Mu sat aside to rest, ready to change clothes. Beside him, Lowry, who was on the playoff battlefield for the first time, was staring blankly at the void in front of him and muttering to himself.

"Playoffs...... Won. ”

Lowry's hands and legs were trembling slightly at this time, Chen Mu knew that this was not only because of nervousness, but also because throughout the game, Lowry was fighting one-on-one with Billups, who was a lap older than him.

While Billups wasn't particularly successful defensively, Lowry had a good individual performance, at least 13 points and seven assists on the offensive end, which was pretty good for a sophomore in his playoff debut.

"Boss, we won ......!"

Lowry still can't believe that in the first game of the playoffs of his career, he actually won away from home against a Pistons team that has been strong for many years. When he looked back at Chen Mu, his eyes flashed with incredible brilliance, as if he had lost the ability to organize language, and he was just repeating this sentence constantly.

"Know, know, win, win, hooray."

Chen Mu couldn't laugh or cry. Although I think back to the playoffs last season, after I won the first playoff game of my career, I was also excited in the locker room for a long time. But seeing Lowry's appearance at this moment, I still felt a little funny.

"Win, long live !!"

Back in the locker room, Carney was like a wild dog on the loose...... Ah no. Like a child without restraints, he shouted excitedly and kept waving his fists in celebration. The players burst out laughing and looked at Carney as if they were looking at a child.

On the side, Iguodala, Korver and others were relatively calm, Korver was still a little happy, and Iguodala couldn't see any mood swings at all. This guy, who usually has a bit of a babble, has become quite calm at this time, and is grabbing Korver to talk about the last round. What are the areas of Korver's defense?

"If you add one more set of equipment exercises, you'll be able to defend against that fast break." Iguodala is serious.

"Where did the devil theory come from!" Korver couldn't laugh or cry.

Others are also relatively calm, Hellam Porter, Evans, Louis Williamson, Willie Green, etc. are all players who have worked hard in the league for several years, have experienced playoff victories, and are not a tendon like Carney, so they can naturally control their emotions.

And Milicic's mood at this time is undoubtedly quite complicated.

We won.

I, won.

We...... Defeated the Pistons ......!

Milicic bowed his head. The tall body looked less dazzling at this time, and shrunk itself in the corner of the locker room. Quietly staring at the ground in front of him, his mind was surging.

From being drafted by the Pistons, to playing for the Pistons for the first time, the first turnover, the first shot and not scoring, the first foul. The first time I made a mistake in defense, the first time I was played by the opponent, including being completely blown up by the current team boss - the Chinese kid......

This super-rookie with the name of genius was once the darling of the city and the best dynasty successor in the hearts of countless Pistons fans.

But the harsh reality. The immaturity of his mentality put Milicic at a low point.

How many times, as soon as I got on the field, I was booed by the fans, every action, every time I received the ball, every time I handled the ball, I was booed by the fans and couldn't raise my head.

Perhaps, the most important thing is my own problem, that is, I am not mature enough, and I have not done what I should have done well.

But when I was at a low point, did you give me even the slightest encouragement......?

Maybe there is.

Milicic vaguely remembers that there were a few fans who did often cheer themselves on on the sidelines of the Pistons' home court, holding signs and always believing that they could reach their potential.

But those people are from Serbia and Montenegro......

Milicic didn't hate the Pistons, he didn't hate Auburn Hills Palace, and he didn't hate the city of Detroit.

What he hates is only those who are eager for quick success, those times that have been wasted and can never be returned.

“…… Daktronics. ”

"Huh......?"

Hearing the shouting, Milicic looked up and saw that everyone in the locker room had gone to their respective jobs, and he didn't know how long it had been. Several players have even finished showering and are listening to music with headphones on.

The person around him is Chen Mu.

"Don't be in a daze, the coach said let's go to the press conference together." Chen Mu said.

"...... we? Conference?? Milicic was stunned, after coming to the 76ers, he had never participated in the post-game press conference, and even after the game against the Hornets and high shooting percentage, he was not included in the post-game press conference.

Why did you suddenly ask me to attend the press conference?

Is it because ......

"It's not in Detroit." Chen Mu said with a smile: "The coach said that he wants to make you majestic, hurry, take a shower and leave!" ”

“…… Horse, up, on, come. ”

Milicic was provoked by Chen Mu's words, and almost gritted his teeth and got up to take a shower.

Detroit? Piston? 2nd in the Eastern District??

It's not my big Milicic's men who are defeated!

"Hey, hey, you're misleading...... Forget it, let him go. ”

Chen Mu shook his head, put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned to walk away.

Twenty minutes later, the post-match press conference.

"Congratulations on winning away and getting the playoffs off to a great start!"

The 76ers won, and the Pistons' local reporters didn't eat the visiting players, so where is the mood to ask? The first to ask questions was the 76ers' team reporter, Justin.

"Is there anything you would like to say about the victory in this game?" Justin's opening question is traditional.

"Uh-huh!"

Before Chicks and Chen Mu could speak, Milicic grabbed the microphone not far away, coughed and said.

"Thanks to the Pistons and Detroit for cultivating me, and thanks to my old teammates for their support and encouragement, I will definitely make persistent efforts to lead the team to eliminate the Pistons!"

After Milicic finished speaking, his head tilted to the side, and he continued to pretend to be his cold president.

Both Chicks and Chen Mu collapsed.

"Uh......"

Justin couldn't say a word for a long time, and he was stunned for a while, feeling the embarrassing silence in the conference hall that could kill people, and he didn't know how to answer this sentence at all.

You say this domineering, it's not particularly domineering, you say friendly, it's even more impossible to beat.

How do you describe it......?

Isn't the word owe flat particularly appropriate?

"Darko's, uh, in good spirits, uh, uh...... It's very scrappy! Justin, a high-achieving student, was struggling for a long time, and finally said a word that the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth, which was rounded, and he hurriedly continued to speak in embarrassment, as if this would make everyone present forget about Milicic's brain-dead answer: "Coach Cheeks, we noticed that before the game started, the team's player Carney did say that he would eliminate the Pistons and advance. Is this Carney's personal opinion? ”

"Hmmm......"

"It's not his personal opinion." Before Cheeks could utter a complete sentence, Milicic spoke again: "This is what is about to happen. ”

No way......

Chen Mu was full of black lines, and he couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground immediately.

"We're going to win, we knew before we started that we're going to win."

"Hmm...... Win the first game? "Justin is completely powerless to help the 76ers control the situation.

"It's not about winning a game, it's about winning a round."

In Milicic's eyes, he didn't know whether it was the flame of revenge or the flickering halo of the brain, and he said such a sentence categorically.

Just as Chen Mu was silent on the Auburn Hills Palace after completing that desperate block on the court, there was also a silence at the press conference after Milicic's words were uttered.

Five seconds later, the scene exploded.

Clamouring is really an art.

Chen Mu rolled his eyes, simply looked at the ceiling, and studied the structure of the electric lights in the conference hall.

Everyone knows that Milicic breathed a bad breath in his heart after winning the game, and he wanted to be arrogant.

But this arrogance is not at all off, and there is no impact at all, but it seems quite childish and boring.

The clamor turned into arrogance, and the snort became brain-dead, Milicic wanted to learn from Chen Mu's domineering spirit at the press conference, and also shake off the spirit of Wang Ba. But it was the painting of the tiger that did not become an anti-dog, which became the biggest joke after the game that day.

Whatever, anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same.

Watching Cheeks anxiously answering the questions of the angry local reporters, Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at the domineering president with his nostrils facing the sky again, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time.

It's okay this way, there is no way back, there is motivation.

In the uproar, the press conference ended, and it was not until the 76ers players and coaches followed Milicic, as if the shrimp soldiers and crabs would follow the Sea Dragon King, walked out of the venue amid the angry denunciation of local reporters, and many people reacted:

This one...... What are the technical and tactical details of this game...... The 76ers don't seem to say anything!

The second playoff game between the two teams took place in Detroit three days later.

When the time comes, how will the Motor City fans who learned of Milicic's wild remarks after the game "welcome" their "pride of the sky"?

I'm looking forward to it!

Watching Milicic walk step by step, Chen Mu was in pain and happy. (To be continued.) )
