Chapter 130 The Last Cup
Chapter 130 The Last Cup
It was raining outside, and it finally rained in Auckland, which had been gloomy all morning. The rain was not heavy, but it was enough to disturb people's minds.
Whether it's the wind blowing or the rain falling, it's not as exciting as Mu Lin's heart.
Mu Lin was very distressed. It wasn't that he didn't know how bad his performance was last night, and it wasn't that he didn't know that what Li Weisi said was true, but in front of so many people, he really felt ashamed and subconsciously refuted Li Weisi , I didn't expect things to get worse and worse, to the point of being out of control.
In fact, the person who is most dissatisfied with his performance last night is himself, and the person who cannot forgive him the most is precisely himself. If he is a person who is bearish about winning or losing, he will not be in such pain as he is now. Isn't wolfberry fragrant for a walk?
However, the problem is that he, Mu Lin, is also a very competitive person, he is unwilling and does not allow himself to behave like Shi.
But just last night, he found that his body was a little weak. Sorry, I mean his physical fitness...his bed...his performance on the field.
Take Li Weisi's defense as an example, it was indeed because he did not chase and bypass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and caused a burden to his teammates, but it was not because of his shooting as Li Weisi said, but because he wanted to When bypassing the defense, I suddenly found that my legs were weak, so I didn't start up and bypass the defense.
And the reason for all this, he himself knows well, is not a woman, but alcohol.
In his college days, he was one of the best college players at that time. He joined the rookie star team in his freshman year, created the best record in team history in his sophomore year, and represented his country in the 1984 Olympic Games in his third year. His performance in the team was only lost to Jordan alone.In his senior year, he won the John Wooden Award, which represents the highest honor in the United States.
After entering the NBA in the same year, he wears the hat of a potential new star. Although he is not as dazzling as Li Weisi this season, it also makes him famous in the league. He has the title of a talented pitcher and even has a free throw percentage of 89.6. %, ranking second in the league.
Unfortunately, in his rookie season, the Warriors lost more than they won, and the lack of enthusiasm of his teammates made him depressed. At the end of the season, he lost the All-Rookie Team, which made him very unconvinced and depressed. From the beginning, I quit drinking to relieve my worries.
After a period of time, when he regained his strength, he found that he could no longer do without alcohol. Once he stopped drinking, his hands and feet would tremble, his mood would be irritable, and he would sweat profusely when he slept at night.
So he continued to drink, and it wasn't until the start of the season that he realized that he was really addicted to alcohol.
It's not that he never thought about quitting alcohol, but he gave up after trying it, because the taste was so uncomfortable that it affected his normal life.
He also consulted a doctor, but the final answer was that they needed a lot of time to treat slowly, and the new season had already started, and he had no time to treat at all.
So, he tried to drink alcohol at a fixed time to control it, but found that he would often drink too much during the drinking process, which would affect the next day's training and even the competition.
As, this is precisely the case, and the interval between the occurrence of this situation has begun to shrink.
Mu Lin, who was irritable, anxious, and distracted, really wanted to have a drink at this time to relieve himself, damn alcohol.
"Do you want a drink?" Suddenly, Nelson's voice came from behind Mullin.
Mullin looked back at Nelson, his face changed: "Coach, are you mocking me?"
Nelson squeezed out a smile on his wrinkled face, patted Mullin on the shoulder and said, "Just call me Nellie, isn't that what you all call me?"
"If you're here to mock me, please go back! You still have to host the analysis meeting!"
"There's no rush. I've been here as the head coach for so long, and I haven't skipped a shift yet. Today is just in time, so let's go out with you. To be honest, I like drinking too!"
After speaking, Nelson walked towards the elevator entrance, and seeing that Mullin was still there, he shouted, "Hey, let's go! Why are you standing there?"
Mullin froze in place with a puzzled look on his face, but in the end he followed Nelson uprightly and left.
Not long after, in a small bar not far from the stadium, only Nelson and Mullin were sitting in the old bar, not even a waiter could be seen.
It's no wonder that it's not even noon yet, and it's the break time for the bar. Mullin knocked on the door and let the boss open the door cursingly.
Fortunately, the boss agreed to let him in after seeing that it was Mullin. After all, Mullin is not only a celebrity in the Bay Area, but also his rich man.
"This place is pretty nice. Although the decoration isn't very good, it's very quiet. It's lucky that you found this place." Nelson looked around and took a sip from a glass of beer on the table.
"Last season, Floyd brought me here. Later, I got acquainted with the boss, so he only opened the door today. There are quite a lot of people here at night, and many of them are Warriors fans." Mullin stared. The wine in front of him swallowed his saliva, and he looked away with difficulty, looking at Nelson.
"Really? That's great. It's a good place to be able to drink while chatting with fans." Nelson took another sip of beer, saw that Mullin didn't make a move, and said with a smile: "Why didn't I see you drinking? I still don't want to drink with me?"
"Coach... Nellie, don't hurt me any more. If you have anything to say, just say it? No matter what kind of punishment it is, I will admit it." reoccupied the brain.
"Punishment? Punish you for what? Didn't you ask me for leave?"
"You know that's not what I'm talking about, because I drink too much and cause the team to lose, the responsibility is mine. West is right, it's all my responsibility..." Mullin's face became painful again, Covering his face with his hands, he leaned on the table with only his arms.
"You know what? West didn't finish his sentence at the time. After you left, he said, 'You are responsible, everyone else is responsible. Losing is never the responsibility of one person.'"
"What you said is true?" Mullin looked at Nelson again in surprise, wanting to confirm whether Nelson was lying.
"Of course, other people in the team were there at the time, so you can ask."
"So, did I blame him?" Mu Lin had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Yeah, it was a mistake." Just as he was speaking, Nelson suddenly laughed, and seeing Mullin's puzzled eyes, Nelson quickly said, "However, it's not a big deal, just apologize to West later and let it go." , What kind of character is he, don't you understand now?"
Mu Lin didn't speak, just nodded mechanically.
"However, Chris, the team's loss is everyone's responsibility, but winning also requires everyone's efforts. Do you want to win?"
Mullin nodded again.
"Then drink this last drink and quit drinking!" Nelson leaned forward and solemnly said to Mu Lin with a smile on his face.
