Antetokounmpo excitedly shouted, "Ubuntu!!!"
Yu Fei was already immune to Rivers' motivational tactics. He and Yao Ming had been through a lot, and their mentality and emotions were very stable. In this respect, they were indeed approaching a middle-aged mindset.
But seeing the young guys on the team getting stirred up by Rivers' few words, you have to admit, the pig-headed coach has everything it takes to be a coach, except for coaching-related professional skills.
"Tonight, you just need to do two things," Yu Fei said to Thompson, "move around and shoot."
Thompson said, "I might take 30 shots."
"As long as you don't die from exhaustion, I have no objection to 40 shots," Yu Fei gave Thompson the confidence to shoot without restraint.
In fact, just looking at the number of shots, Thompson was already the Clippers' second option.
Aside from Yu Fei, Thompson was the only one on the Clippers averaging more than 16 shots per game.
