Although he looks dark, stocky and a bit reckless, Green is actually very smart and calm.
Even if he often roars on the court, it is more to boost morale.
After all, the Splash brothers have such good tempers that they don't even get angry when being bullied.
But the stadium is like a battlefield, and it won't work if no one stands up and speaks.
So, just make Green aware of something.
In fact, the team has always treated Green's foul trouble as a top priority.
The assistant coach will remind Green every game to stay calm and not do anything inappropriate.
Cole also has great trust in Green.
However, this time is different. Deng Fang has traveled back in time, and he knows everything that happened before.
Green is smart, but no matter how smart he is, he can't stop his opponent's careful calculations!
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you!
It was calculated mentally but not intentionally, and it happened during a high-speed and fierce confrontation on the court. It was difficult for Green not to be fooled.
However, as a head coach, there is not much he can do.
No matter how good the head coach is, can you play in place of the players?
cannot!
Can you replace the player's brain?
cannot!
What can be done?
You can only rely on that mouth!
Therefore, there are always many people who laugh at Clippers head coach Rivers who only knows how to pour chicken soup, but you must know that being able to boil chicken soup so that the players are willing to drink it is also an amazing skill!
Deng Fang raised his head and took a look at the situation on the court.
At this moment, there were more than 4 minutes left in the game, and the score was still 93:84. Clay had just missed a 3-pointer, and Brother No. 1 alertly grabbed the offensive rebound and was reorganizing the offense.
More than a minute passed, and neither team scored, falling into a stalemate.
This time is actually beneficial to the Warriors.
After all, time is passing slowly and the score has not changed at all.
Normally, the gap of 9 points is not too big, and it takes more than 4 minutes to completely catch up.
But in this game, the two teams have always been evenly matched. The scores are chasing each other, and there is no difference between them.
Even if they were ahead by five or six points, it was still the Cavaliers.
Now that the Warriors have taken the lead, and 9 points is already the largest point difference in this game, and the game time is getting shorter and shorter, the Cavaliers must be panicking.
If you want to do something small, you will definitely have to do it soon.
After all, the score is still high, and the Warriors still have a great sense of crisis.
If the score is pulled to more than ten points and the Cavaliers lose hope of chasing points, then the Warriors will no longer have a sense of crisis and Green will relax. If he encounters another provocation, he will not necessarily fall into the trap.
Of course, if the Cavaliers can catch up and narrow the score difference, no one will probably use dirty tricks.
Because there is no need!
I can defeat you fair and square on the court, why do I have to use those dirty tricks?
Thinking of this moment, Deng Fang quickly stood up, made a gesture to the referee, and decisively called a timeout.
Fortunately, Deng Fang not only controlled Cole's body, but also inherited his ability to speak.
He spoke standard American English.
After calling a timeout, Deng Fang called Bogut and Ezeli over from the bench and gave instructions in their ears.
Although Bogut has a loud mouth and is very annoying, he still has a very good way of conducting himself.
Not to mention Ezeli, a third-year freshman, it is instinct to be obedient.
"Hey, why did Cole call a timeout?" Mark Jackson, one of the commentators on the scene, was a little confused.
"Yes, just over a minute has passed since the last timeout. The Warriors are leading and controlling the situation on the court. It is the Cavaliers who should be anxious at this time!" Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary box next to him also nodded.
Confuse.
Deng Fang had no time to take care of this. He called assistant coach Walton: "Tell them that they must reduce their mistakes, be patient on the offensive end, and just play steadily."
Wharton was stunned for a moment.
What Cole said is just nonsense and has little meaning. Why waste a timeout just for this?!
Besides, even if it was said, it wasn’t him who said it!
This is the job of the head coach.
However, Wharton was still very sensible, and he nodded quickly.
As an assistant coach, the most important thing is to be obedient!
Just do whatever the head coach tells you to do.
Anyway, it's the head coach's responsibility if he makes a mistake.
Wharton immediately stood up and walked forward to call over several players who were leaving the field.
On the other side, after Deng Fang finished his instructions, Bogut and Ezeli walked to the players' tunnel together.
Deng Fang ignored the others and grabbed Zhui Meng who came off the court and wanted to give him a high-five: "Drummond, come here, I have something to talk to you alone!"
Chasing the dream was stunned!
I?
alone?
I didn’t do anything wrong just now!
However, Zhui Meng was not a fool. He took a bottle of water and followed Deng Fang to the sidelines.
I have to say that Cole still has some status in the hearts of a group of players.
Deng Fang walked straight to the players' tunnel on the sidelines and led Chai Meng to a relatively remote corner.
There are security guards here, so ordinary people can't see it, and it's relatively quiet.
There is a treadmill and a bicycle at the entrance of the tunnel for players to warm up.
Bogut was jogging on the treadmill, and Ezeli was standing aside chatting with him.
Zhui Meng greeted the two of them and didn't pay much attention.
It is normal for players who are not playing to warm up below.
This place is nice, no one around here pays attention to it.
Deng Fang patted Green on the shoulder, with a serious expression on his face, and whispered: "Chasing Dreams, do you know how many minutes are left before you will be suspended?"
"Ah?" Chai Meng was stunned again: "1... points, Wharton told me about this before the game."
Deng Fang nodded: "Yes, it's 1 point. I know you know it, but I still have to talk to you alone, because it affects our success or failure this season!"
After a pause, Deng Fang continued: "Drummond, I believe you know your importance to the team, so I hope you know the importance of this game to our season."
Green nodded in agreement: "Steve, I know this game is very important, but the situation is under our control now?! Don't worry, I will do my best to defend and ensure we win this game."
Deng Fang shook his head and said: "Drummond, winning or losing in this game is of course important, but there is a more important thing, and that is your existence!"
Green was stunned again, and then immediately patted his chest: "Steve, don't worry, I promise I won't do anything stupid."
Deng Fang shook his head and said: "No, you will! You know, the most dangerous person on our team is you! I am not worried about Curry and Clay, nor am I worried about Iguodala, but you are what I am most worried about!"
"Me?!" Green frowned: "Steve, do you think I'm that kind of stupid person?"
"You are not." Deng Fang said: "You will never take the initiative to do stupid things, but what if someone deliberately frames you? What if you are deliberately provoked? What if you are insulted? As a man
, can you bear it?"
"I..." Green hesitated: "No problem! I can bear it!"
"No, you can't help it!" Deng Fang shook his head and said: "Otherwise, let's make a bet. From now on until the end of this game, as long as you can endure all insults and provocations and don't make any aggressive behavior, I will lose.
, otherwise you lose."
After a pause, Deng Fang added: "The bargaining chip can be the total bill of our travel this summer. If I lose, I will bear all the bills of our summer travel for you, and vice versa."
Green's eyes lit up: "Steve, do you know my plan to go to Europe to rent a yacht in the summer? That's half a month! If you lose, maybe I will extend the time to a month!"
"I know, I have also rented the Mogabo yacht for 650,000 euros a week." Deng Fang nodded and said, "If I lose, I will pay for the Mogabo yacht for one month."
Green suddenly laughed: "You're going to lose, Steve! I'll take this bet!"
Deng Fang smiled and stretched out his hand to bump Green's fists together: "Okay, from now until the end of this game, no matter who provokes you, you are not allowed to act aggressively!"
Green and Deng Fang punched each other hard, and then laughed loudly: "Steve, just wait for the check to be mailed!"
Before the laughter ended, two big strong hands suddenly stretched out from behind Green, hugged Green, and gave him a kick on his back.
