Chapter 222 Interpretation of White Gloves
Finally I won, but fortunately I didn't lose. Otherwise, tonight might be the last night I coached the Grizzlies.
Winters thought with lingering fear.
Davidson also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally lost. He was really afraid that Christie's three-pointer had just entered, so it would be embarrassing if it came.
No one at the scene was foolish. At present, everyone could see the purpose of Davidson's intentional loss, but they could not think of the reason why Davidson did this.
Do you continue to maintain a winning streak record? Isn't it good?
After the game, players and coaches from both sides walked onto the court to shake hands and greet each other.
Davidson first grabbed Raheem and could lose tonight, so I really have to thank this kid.
"Good job, man." Davidson said with a smile on Raheem's arm.
Rahim is shy and lowers his head and smiles bitterly at Davidson. Is he really doing well in this game?
As the leader of the Grizzlies, if the opponent gave up the game, he only won the opponent by two points. Can this be considered a good performance?
Of course, if you look at the data, Rahim's data of 23 minutes, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks tonight is indeed good.
Winters also walked towards Davidson with a weird face.
"Thank you, Wilson." Winters said with an embarrassing smile.
Facing the coach who was much younger than him, Winters sighed in his heart.
Why don’t I have such a terrible vision of selecting people in Davidson? If so, would I still be so worried now?
When Davidson heard Winters' thanks, he immediately frowned, "Hmm? Thank me? Why thank me."
"Winters, you don't think our king is letting water, do you?"
Davidson waved his hand quickly. He would never admit that he would give up the game deliberately.
It doesn't sound nice to say it. NBA says it is a business alliance, but it is also a competitive sports.
What's the matter if competitive sports loses on purpose?
Winters was confused by Davidson, and a reporter happened to come.
The reporters couldn't wait to interview Davidson, wanting to know why Davidson wanted to lose so much tonight.
Because in their opinion, this is quite incredible.
If it is the final stage of the season, in order to meet difficult opponents in the playoffs and then deliberately lose and stagger the difficult opponents, this is understandable. NBA has happened before, and it is quite common.
But the key point is that the season has only started for a while, and Davidson is going to lose the game by pole, which is really hard to understand.
"Coach Davidson, why do you feel like you don't want to win in tonight's game?" A reporter went straight to the point and threw the problem to Davidson.
Upon hearing this, Davidson waved his hand quickly.
"You can't say this nonsense. Your statement is an insult to the Grizzlies. They are also a professional team in the NBA. Isn't it normal to win?" Davidson said quickly.
Winters' mouth twitched, and someone asked you a question, why did it touch our grizzlies again?
"If I didn't want to lose, why would all four of them be rested?" the reporter asked again.
This is indeed quite weird.
"It's a turn to rest, so I naturally want the players to have a good rest. They are so tired during this period."
"Murraysan's injury sounded a wake-up call to our Kings. If they continue to work so hard, they may not be able to hold on to the playoffs."
Davidson said with a serious expression.
The reporters were even more speechless. You Kings players were fighting hard? They were obviously clocking in for three quarters and getting off work...
In the previous games, many games have too great advantages in leading the first three quarters, so many main players will no longer play after playing three quarters. How can this be tiring?
Maybe the whole league will be counted as Kings players, so it's easy.
But since Davidson said that, it is not easy for the reporters to refute it in person.
After all, Murraysan's injury was a fact that just happened.
"Okay, don't guess it. We just lost one game. This is just a very ordinary regular season game, no different from other regular seasons." Davidson said to the reporters with a smile.
"By the way, Coach Davidson, some fans are curious about what secrets you hide under your gloves, and can you share them with us." Another reporter asked a question.
Some fans noticed that Davidson wore several rings on his fingers before. Many people had discussed at that time what the meaning of these rings Davidson wore.
Some people say that this is the number of times Davidson sets for himself in the championship. A few rings mean that his goal is to win several championship trophys.
Some people also say that Davidson is a young man, and young people like to make these fancy ornaments to attract the attention of the outside world.
Anyway, there are all kinds of statements, and there are many different opinions, and there is no consensus.
At first, Davidson explained to the people around him that this was the thought left by his parents, but later there were more and more rings, and there was no explanation.
I simply put white gloves on my hands, but I didn't expect this to make people even more curious.
Davidson has been asked at least ten times in a question similar to the reporter just now!
"This is a very private question, and NBA allows us to refuse to answer such privacy questions." Davidson brought out his usual set of rhetoric.
NBA has relevant regulations. When faced with reporters’ questions, NBA practitioners generally have to answer.
Of course, if there are some personal privacy issues, the person being asked can refuse to answer.
The reporters looked disappointed. What they wanted to figure out the most now was the meaning of Davidson's white gloves.
However, there are relatively reliable answers to the outside world.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, gloves used to represent authority and purity, so all the medieval knights wore a pair of white gloves.
Wearing white gloves means sacredness and justice. If you take off the white gloves and throw them in front of the other side, you will challenge the duel.
This interpretation is quite convincing, but Davidson never admits...
...
The players were a little confused when they lost the game against the Grizzlies, but they didn't care much.
Players like Barkley and Ritchmond, the only thing they want now is the championship. As for the regular season record, even if they can surpass the Bulls' 72 wins this season this season, as long as there is no championship, they will definitely not be happy.
Their only goal is to win the championship, and there is nothing else to think about other than winning the championship.
As for the bus and Nash, they definitely won’t have any comments.
Next, in the remaining five games in November, all the Kings were dispatched and they easily won.
In the first month and a half after the start of the regular season, the Kings played a total of 22 games, and ended up having a 21 win and 1 loss.
