Chapter 889： I will do my best

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the genius of basketball madness in the left!

"Curry will not play in the regular season and is expected to return in the first round of the playoffs, depending on the situation!" As soon as the Knicks' press officer finished speaking, the press conference hall was silent.

Then-

Full of laughter!

"Hahaha, the Knicks have become humorous now."

"This **** for an April Fool's joke, do you really think you're going to fool us."

"Curry Zuoli just played a game, and it's too fast to be reimbursed today, hahahahaha, is this today's opening ceremony, I understand, please continue."

"Happy April Fool's Day! Come on, I know I can't wait!"

"Let's get some real news! Stop doing these routines!"

…

Looking at the laughing reporter, the press spokesman's face turned black. Do you know how sad he, a veteran Knicks fan, was after hearing the news, and he even laughed!

but…

"Go, whoever chose a good day!"

No wonder people don't believe it. April 1st happens to be the traditional Western April Fool's Day. On this day, many NBA teams have a tradition of giving fans a job. For example, in 2003, on April 1, 2003, the Hornets challenged away. Mavericks, during the second quarter pause, the Mavericks boss Cuban and the referee staged a full-fledged exercise, from quarrels to shoves to fights, terrifying everyone present, and then the Mavericks assistant coach Silver Fox Harris was terrified. Aphasia, the Mavericks players were also stunned. Afterwards, Cuban's proud smile on the bench made many fans unforgettable. This April Fool's Day joke has always been considered the most successful April Fool's Day trick in NBA history.

In addition, there are little dinosaurs scaring Howard, Ezeli was deceived and fired, James officially announced goodbye in the fall, and so on.

So... From this point of view, it seems that the Knicks chose to announce this news today.

But when the reporter laughed and laughed, and the spokesperson on the stage remained serious, the CCTV reporter first discovered something was wrong, and Liu Jia, a senior reporter from the sports channel, asked cautiously: "Curry is reimbursed... It's not true, is it?"

"Of course..." The spokesperson glanced at Liu Jia gratefully. It's been five minutes, and finally there is a sober person. It must be a serious Chinese. Look at these European and American people, and they are not afraid to laugh. Damn, is it so funny, I really convinced these old sixths!

"Okay folks, it's April Fool's Day, but it's not a joke, Stephen Curry has a right ankle discomfort after yesterday's game, and for the playoffs, the team and the individual have decided that he will miss the next seven games. "

Reporters: "Hahahahahahaha~"

news spokesman:"……"

However, after laughing for a long time, more and more reporters came back to it. It was so serious that no one of the Knicks staff around laughed. If it was fake, they played too well...

If it wasn't fake-

"OMG!

! "

"Big news!

! "

The press box rioted, and more and more reporters realized that Stephen Curry was really out of season!

"Is Stephen Curry seriously injured, what are the specifics?"

"It is inconvenient for me to reveal too much about the specific situation."

"Will the season reimbursement affect the playoffs after the Knicks!"

"Please pay attention to the review questions. It is reimbursed for the regular season, not for the rest of the games."

"Then are you still chasing the bull's record!"

"I remember we never said we were going to chase the Bulls record, it was gossip, absolutely gossip."

…

The press officials were talking to each other, the Knicks locker room, and the players watched this scene on TV.

The atmosphere was a little dignified, especially when the reporter asked "Will the Knicks still chase the Bulls' record?" Zuo Li could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere in the locker room.

Zuo Li and D'Antoni looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, giving up is sometimes harder than persevering.

Although human emotions are invisible and intangible, they are real, and they will have an important impact on human behavior. The impact on the game is also self-evident, emotional instability, performance will not be good, Why Zen Master is a very good coach in Zuo Li's heart, because he is very good at adjusting the players' emotions, so that the players can play normally or even beyond the level.

Don't underestimate this ability. Without this ability, the Bulls' second three-peat championship may not happen, and the Lakers' three-peat championship may also collapse in the middle.

Therefore, players' emotions are something that must be taken care of. If you want to win the championship, you don't have to think about bad emotions.

So Zuo Li and D'Antoni exchanged glances instantly. Before they came here, they had a conversation. D'Antoni meant that there was no need to hit the regular season anymore. After all, Curry's absence would have too much impact on the rotation. It might be more than worth it.

Although Zuo Li also understands this, he obviously thinks more, the most important thing is the emotions of his teammates.

It's not that easy to say give up.

Even if they really gave up because of the relationship between D'Antoni and Zuo Li, depression is inevitable, which may affect the Knicks' playoffs instead.

"You mean, other people are normal, you take more responsibility?" D'Antoni said: "No, you will be too tired, you are our absolute core, now the Knicks can be without Curry, but without you , then you can surrender directly."

Hearing Zuo Li's words, D'Antoni's first reaction was to refuse. How could Zuo Li take more responsibility? He even wanted to take a break from Zuo Li. If it wasn't for fear of affecting Zuo Li's subsequent awards, D'Antoni would not even have ten games before. I just wanted to start, how could Zuo Li take responsibility at the last moment?

"I understand, but, coach, we also need to take into account the mood of the players. This season we have been too smooth, we have hardly encountered resistance, and now the record is in front of us, not to mention the Bulls, but to say 70 wins, that is history The second chance to win 70, if you give up, give up, think about what the players will think." Zuo Li said.

De Shuai fell into silence. Zuo Li's words made sense. As a senior coach, why didn't he know, but he couldn't risk Zuo Li's injury to do so.

Seeing to see the coach's concern, UU reading Zuo Li continued: "Don't worry, coach, I won't force it, I promise it's within my ability, if it doesn't work, I'll withdraw. It's still season. The playoffs are the main thing, what do you think?"

De Shuai thought for a while and said, "In case the players don't respond, maybe, let's not guess, or we'll go take a look in the afternoon and make a decision."

De Shuai still couldn't easily say what he agreed with.

However, sure enough, Zuo Li guessed right. After hearing the conversation between the press officer and the reporter, the locker room was visibly depressed.

Zuo Li asked D'Antoni's opinion with his eyes. D'Antoni thought for a while, then nodded.

Forget it, let's follow Zuo Li's idea.

And Zuo Li got the coach's approval, and he didn't hide it. He stood up and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention: "Guys, listen to me..."
