NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Chapter 185

"Long Rui, I know that this may not be a good night for you, do you have anything to say about it?"

The post-match interview that Long Rui was least willing to face came as scheduled. He is the leader of the team and must shoulder this responsibility.

Facing the reporter's question, Long Rui was silent for a long time, and then spoke slowly.

"You're right. It was a very bad night for me. It's like a nightmare. It may haunt me for a long time."

"We should have had a good chance to win this game, but I messed everything up with my own hands."

"But in this game, we also learned a lot of experience."

"The Heat are a very strong team, and being able to play against them is a very difficult thing in itself."

"I think after this game, we will make a good summary, learn lessons, and strive to get back more victories that should belong to us in the next game."

It can be heard that Long Rui's tone is full of unwillingness. It is a pity to lose this game just now.

"Now there is one very bad thing I have to tell you, maybe you don't know it yet."

"A lot of K City fans have posted some unfriendly comments online, they accuse you of not being able to lead the team to win their enemy LeBron James,"

"Faced with these negative news, will you feel depressed? Because you really played hard on the court."

The reporter looked like a sensible person, maintaining a very calm attitude.

After hearing these words, Long Rui's expression froze slightly. He knew the folk customs of the United States, and of course he thought he would be criticized, but he didn't expect this matter to be so serious.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel relieved, these fans are very temperamental.

He thought for a while, and replied: "There is a saying in Huaxia that love is deep and responsibility is severe."

"I think it's appropriate to apply it now."

"The fans have placed high expectations on us, and we have rewarded them with success after success."

"But we lost the game we shouldn't have lost, so that's why the fans are so angry."

"I can understand their feelings, so when we go back, we will reflect on our mistakes and perform better in the next game."

After hearing Long Rui's answer, the reporter nodded in approval.

"Thank you! I hope that next time we meet again, you can get your wish!"

……

Kecheng, gymnasium.

"Brother Long, many fans are talking about you now..."

Ran Ruoxue was reading the news, and when she saw those remarks criticizing Long Rui, she felt angry, but there was nothing she could do.

"I already know, there is nothing to be angry about, they are just venting their inner emotions."

"After all, they have too many expectations of the team, so when we lose the game in this way, it is difficult for them to accept it for a while."

Speaking of this, Long Rui paused for a while, and then continued: "These are what I should bear..."

Ran Ruoxue pouted her lips, and said reluctantly: "Why? You are not a god, how could you win every game?"

"These people are really, do they understand the game?"

Ran Ruoxue complained about Long Rui's injustice.

"Okay, don't be angry!"

"The only way to appease their anger is to win back in the next game!"

Looking at the angry Ran Ruoxue, Long Rui couldn't help feeling a little funny.

He lost the game, it was supposed to be Ran Ruoxue who came to comfort him, but now it's completely reversed...

At the end of the game, Long Rui thought a lot in the locker room and felt sorry for the team.

But at this moment he has figured it out, losing is actually not that terrible, and he has to learn to accept it and learn from it, which is something that must be experienced on the road to success.

You can stand as much praise as you can stand the slander.

After having a simple meal with Ran Ruoxue, Long Rui began to watch the replay of the game.

He directly skipped the first three quarters of the game and chose to watch the last quarter.

Because they were winning in the first three quarters, there is no need to watch.

Long Rui lay on the sofa, repeating the content of the fourth quarter over and over again. They made too many mistakes in the final stage.

Especially himself, first he failed to score the ball on the offensive end, and then made the most critical mistake on the defensive end, which allowed the opponent to successfully complete the reversal.

Seeing his poor performance, Long Rui also clenched his fists subconsciously, regretting endlessly. If he could make one less mistake in the final stage, perhaps the victory would belong to them.

It's a pity that the competition is not filming, there is no rehearsal, and every game is broadcast live, so there is no room for him to regret it.

At this time, Long Rui's cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Yi Jianlian's call.

After pressing the connect button, he heard Yi Jianlian's urgent voice.

"Long Rui, this is just a game. Don't take it too seriously. Those fans are just venting. Don't be influenced by them."

It turned out that after Yi Jianlian went home, he also saw the comments made by the fans on the Internet. He was afraid that these comments would cause Long Rui to suffer a second blow, so he hurriedly called him to comfort him.

"Oh! Ah Lian, what are you thinking?"

"If I were really so fragile, how could I still be here today!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just watched the replay of the fourth quarter and saw a lot of problems. These are things we have to solve."

"By the way, at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, go to the training ground to gather, and you can help me inform other people."

As soon as the words were finished, Long Rui hung up the phone.

Long Rui's current state is much better than Yi Jianlian imagined. He thought that Long Rui would be hit hard by this, but he didn't expect this to motivate Long Rui instead.

After hanging up the phone, Yi Jianlian also shook his head with a smile. If it was him, he might feel broken...

Now he finally understands why Long Rui can be the leader of this team.

This is not only because of his outstanding personal performance, but also because he has an extraordinary mentality and a strong ability to withstand pressure.

In fact, in the long history of the NBA, every outstanding team leader has these necessary conditions. Only in this way can they lead the team to more victories.

The next day, Long Rui arrived at the training hall early, a full hour earlier than the agreed time.

During this hour, he was not idle, and went through some shooting practice directly.

Yi Jianlian was the second person to arrive at the arena, and he was half an hour earlier, but when he arrived, beads of sweat were already oozing from Long Rui's forehead.
