"Coach Van Gundy's key substitution allowed the Thunder to regain control of the game. Wade worked very hard, but he lacked helpers. People say that the Heat may be at the bottom of the East this season. Although it is a joke, I think if it weren't for Wade, this sentence would be fine." Charles Barkley has to admit now that Van Gundy is also improving with the group of young people from the Thunder.

"Pat Riley needs to find some help for Dwyne. After Van Gundy let Durant reach the fourth position in the first quarter, the entire Heat's offense became Wade's private affairs." Kenny Smith also agreed with Charles Barkley's point of view in this regard.

"I think we should focus on the game. In the second quarter, or in the subsequent games, how should the Heat deal with the Thunder's formation change and inside attack?" Reggie Miller's responsibility seemed to be to bring back the two unreliable guys around him.

"Michael Beasley." Barkley said this name without thinking.

"No matter how powerful Wade is, he is still a personal one. Only when Michael Beasley plays at a level can the Heat have a chance to win."

"Michael Beasley!" Van Gundy clapped his hands and shouted in the locker room, his thoughts with Barkley were surprisingly erotic.

"Kevin, you continue to play against him in the second half. If nothing unexpected happens, the Heat will take two insiders in the second half and then put Beasley on the third position he likes. At that time, I hope you can continue your previous performance." Van Gundy looked at Durant confidently. This silent guy rarely disappointed.

"If Spolstra really let Haslem and O'Neal Jr. play at the same time, your offense will not be as easy as the first half."

"I won't take action rashly." Anjie knew what Van Gundy was worried about, but he wouldn't be dizzy because of consecutive goals.

"Okay, come on the court! We have no reason to lose this game, so I can clear the shadow of losing streak!"

"Roar! Thunder!"

................

"Dididi..." The phone on Ricard's desk rang again. He wanted to smash the wall with the receiver, but he knew that he could not do this.

"Didi..." The phone ringing was still ringing, but Ricard didn't want to answer the call at all.

"Didi..." I can't escape. No matter how upset these things are, Ricard had to face them.

"Hello."

"It's Coach George Ricard?" The voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me." Ricard already knew about what was going on, and his tone was very calm.

"I am Jay Claude's father, I'm here to discuss with you about my son's transfer to Marquette University. You know, although my son does not participate in the draft this year, he always strives to nBa as the goal. Now the Tornado... is in a bad situation, I hope my son has a better exhibition..."

"As long as the school agrees to release people, I have no objection." Before Jay Claude's father finished speaking, Ricard replied impatiently. Yes, most of the players on the Tornado this year only want to use Iowa State University as a springboard. There are only a handful of people who once wanted to work hard for the team's good results. What's the use of staying with such people? Besides, even if Ricard has an opinion, he has no right to decide whether to stay or not.

Jay Claude is the number one scorer of the Tornados this season, but now the Tornados lose one after another, which makes him feel that the Iowa State springboard has lost its effect. Now, he just wants to leave.

"Okay, thank you coach. Jay hasn't learned less under your hands during this period. I hope you will have good luck in the future."

"Tsk!" Ricard hung up the phone and held his forehead. It changed, and everything changed. It was still Iowa State University or the Tornado team. However, Ricard's "third generation" Tornado team was very different from the previous two generations.

They train without passion and are not united enough on the court. The tricks that Ricard used to be used to have no effect on this group of young players who pursue fame and fortune.

Michael Beasley's team's record was not good at university, right? Steve Curry lost a lot of games at university. What's the result? They are now playing the main player in NBa, with a yearly salary of millions of dollars. Mike Taylor is the captain of your Ricard, right? He has good leadership skills in college, both on-court and locker room, right? Now? He struggles in the Show League and may lose his job at any time.

This is reality, and this is also the reason why the third generation of Tornado players pay more attention to their individuality. Ricard cannot change their utilitarian hearts, cannot unite the Tornado, cannot win, cannot enjoy the work...

That's right, the team's top scorer "defected" because of the team's poor performance, looking for a bigger springboard, rather than finding ways to get the team to win like Angel and Morris.

"It's so fucking!" Thinking of this, Ricard smashed the mug on the table. Since becoming the coach of this college basketball team, his temper has become worse and worse.

With his coat and scarf on it, Ricard plans to go home. The Tornados will have important games tomorrow, but now the team loses four consecutive times and the team is panicking, Ricard feels that he is not worthy of his current Tornados.

However, when he went home, he was also a person. After Peggy gave birth to a child, he returned to his parents' home. Because Ricard was busy with work and had no time to take care of Peggy, Peggy had to go back to recuperate temporarily. Ricardy took time a week to meet the mother and son.

Yi, personally, is also lonely and bored. At this time, Ricard remembered the Chinese restaurant that Anger once took him to. The owner there seemed to like basketball very much, and was also a loyal fan of the Tornado team.

Maybe such a person is suitable for heart-to-heart talk...

................

The bearded man was busy for a long time. Due to the successful relationship between Anjie and Morris and others, his small restaurant was also sticky and people often visited him. As for the tables used by Anjie and his friends for dinner back then, some people really bought them, but the bearded man was not sold and the guests were not allowed to sit. He left the table there and left it in place.

My daughter went to New York. This old man who has been single since his wife passed away has no one to talk to every day. Fortunately, there is still basketball in the world to accompany him.

"Damn, An, you guys are so cruel." The bearded man stared at the TV and watched the score. 5o to 39, the Thunder had already led Yiyi. And now, there are still 3 minutes left in the second quarter before the end.

"I'm losing two consecutive times, I'm going to say goodbye." The bearded man stretched and continued to play in this state. It should be no problem for the Thunder to win the game. Wade was so pitiful, only Yi personally struggled to support it.

"Dongdongdongdongdong." At this moment, a knock came from outside the restaurant door.

"It's closed today." The bearded man didn't respond, and the game was very exciting. Now Anjie is holding the ball, and the bearded man wants to see how he will break through the inside guard by Haslem and O'Neal Jr.

"Dongdongdongdongdong." The guest didn't leave and knocked on the door again.

"I said we have already..." When the bearded man walked to the door to see the face of the visitor, the bearded man instantly swallowed back half of his words.

"Coach George Ricard?"

In the past, there was no decoration on the walls of this restaurant, but now, the walls are full of various photos of the Tornado team that year. The photos of them having dinner here and the scenes of them fighting on the court. Ricard's roar on the sidelines and the smiles of the Tornado Three Musketeers on the court are all vividly hung here.

Ricard touched the photo frames in it with his hands. He missed these little ghosts.

"Why are you here to visit our store in the evening? The bearded man became enthusiastic when he saw that he was the head coach of the Tornado team he respected.

"The training is not satisfactory, I want to find someone to chat with. I think I'm not in the wrong place." Ricard focused on TV to prevent himself from falling into memories too much.

Advertisements have started to be broadcast on TV, but there are still scores between the two sides below the screen. 45 to 55, and the Thunder still maintains a very strong advantage.

"Be proud, in this game, except Durant, the two guys who performed the best are Ann and Morris." The bearded man took two cans of beer and sat with Ricard.

"I'm always proud of them." Ricard smiled knowingly. This was the first time he had smiled in recent days.

"The team... is in a bad situation recently." During the halftime break, the bearded man also talked to Ricard about the Tornado.

"Hmph, those guys. They didn't win. They just wanted to get good data and get big contracts as soon as possible." The Tornado team has a much bigger reputation than before, so fewer and fewer people joining the team simply for the sake of playing.

"And what you can't handle?"

"Let's stop talking, watch the game." The game started again, and Ricard and the Bearded Man turned their attention to TV again.

"The Heat are almost out of reach. Although Beasley can score now, Durant's condition and confidence have been established long ago. Oh! How can he defend this ball? Durant has entered again." Barkley was anxious when he watched in the studio. It was right for Beasley to score, but he scored two points. Durant might have a three-pointer if he did it well.

"Kevin probably has to go to 30 more in this game, eh? Joe Anthony is on the Heat? Porstra, all the cards are really played."

Joe Anthony is even more blue-collar workers, with weight, height, and skills among blue-collar workers. Anjie's scoring is still easy, and the Heat's inside line collapsed.

Wade is still breaking through and falling down again and again. There is no way, the team needs him, urgently needs him.

Unfortunately, except for Wade and Beasley, other players have not scored too much for a long time. O'Neal Jr. has scored 4 points so far and Haslem has 3 points. As Barkley said, Anger's defense has given them no chance to score at all.

And what about the Thunder? Under the relentless pursuit of Angel and Durant, the Thunder team became smoother and smoother. Even Ibaka and Livingston won a lot of points. To talk about Weiyi's flaw, it may be that Westbrook's offensive efficiency is still low.

Van Gundy looked at the stadium with relief. His actions of calling each other to the office to talk really worked.

Five minutes left in the third quarter, the third young master of the Thunder came to an end with confidence. After Durant left the court, Beasley played harder and stronger, but with the outstanding swing of the Thunder's second team, his crazy score failed to cause trouble.

"It's gone, the Thunder won." Ricard finished drinking the beer in the can. Although there was still two minutes of the game to play in the quarter, Ricard knew that the game was over.

"So sure? You have to know that the big score reversal in the end of the season is often staged, so I think the Heat may launch a counterattack in the fourth quarter." The bearded and Ricard had different opinions.

"The Heat can't get over, Wade is tired, he is too tired to play. Although he... hasn't given up." Ricard seemed to be reminding himself.

"I have to leave, thank you for your hospitality. If the Thunder loses the final game, I will lose you a hundred dollars." Ricard said and turned around and left quickly. He couldn't give up the game, even if there was only one person, he had to fight. This point applies to the coach. If you lose, you have to lose like a man.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wade's offensive momentum was very strong. He broke into the inside and caused damage, and also made two three-pointers from the outside.

With Wade's perseverance, the Heat seemed to have a rekindled momentum, but when the third young master of the Thunder came back, they completely dragged down the "Flash".

Wade was overwhelmed, and the third youngest was full of energy. After only six minutes of the fourth quarter, the Heat surrendered.

When Spolstra gave up the game and replaced Wade, you can see how unbearable this tough man was on his face. His performance was no worse than the winner, and his spirit was stronger than the winner. However, he was not the winner.

In the end, Ricard did not lose the 100 dollars. Beasley was unable to regain his face, while the third young master of Thunder led the team out of the haze of losing streak under Van Gundy's careful training.

8o to 98, even if the Heat are fifth in the East, even if they have the "Flash" Wade. But this night, they can only be the flap of the strong Thunder.

What about Ricard? He is unwilling to give up, even if there are many difficulties now. If all his disciples can come out well, then he, as a master, should set an example.

Only by being tough can one climb to the top.
