Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 173
Not being able to play, but watching the team fall behind, is definitely a torment.

However, under this torment, Wang Hao calmed down even more.

At halftime, the Sonics were 20 points behind.

42:62
To be honest, this is definitely a desperate point difference.

Not only Wang Hao, but the entire team was a little listless when they returned to the locker room.

"Wang, how do you feel? Are you a little panicked?"

On the way back to the locker room, head coach Paul Westphal suddenly found Wang Hao.

"That's right, I can't understand why the referee would do this? Aren't they trying to ensure fairness?

And these fans, why are they so violent, this is just a game, it's too exaggerated! "

Wang Hao couldn't help complaining, there was nothing he could do, the game was really aggrieved.

It's not that you can't win, it's not that you can't fight, you just can't fight.

If it's just that, that's okay, I'm already very upset, and there are a group of fans fanning the flames.

The fire that was simmering in my heart had already been ignited.

"I'm next year, but Wang, you need to understand that this is the NBA game, and it's perfectly normal."

"normal?"

Wang Hao couldn't understand it. The referee had already whistled so far, yet he still said it was normal?

"If you've been in the league long enough and experienced enough, you've got it.

Although such whistleblowing is very uncomfortable, it is indeed normal and part of the NBA.

As for the home whistle, when we were in Seattle, we could also enjoy this kind of treatment, more or less.

As for the shouting and scolding of the fans, how well do you think they will be treated when they are in Seattle?
I'm not trying to excuse anyone, I just want to say, this is the NBA, these are within the rules.

Only by adapting to these can you be considered adapted to the NBA. "

Wang Hao is not the kind of passionate young man who would believe in absolute freedom and justice.

Isn't this an unspoken rule of the NBA, and unspoken rules are everywhere.

I never expected that after reliving the whole life, I was already injured, and I was still so aggrieved!
Although helpless, but after thinking about it clearly, the aggrieved feeling in my heart dissipated a lot.

After all, I have encountered aggrieved and helpless things, as long as you don't care and don't take it seriously, it's actually no big deal.

"I understand, Mr. Paul, I will play well in the next game."

Seeing Wang Hao adjust his state so quickly, even Paul Westphal was a little surprised.

He even planned to give up this game, and adjusting his mentality became the only role of this game.

He knew very well that as the second core of the team, if Wang Hao couldn't adjust his mentality, even the next game would be in danger.

Now, Wang Hao has quickly adjusted his mentality, so this game is not without chance.

"Have you been beaten? Or have you been beaten stupid?"

Just returned to the locker room, looking at everyone sluggish, Paul Westphal's words were not polite.

"So, are you asking him to admit defeat? If so, then we should raise our hands and surrender earlier."

For a man, it is impossible to surrender, because it means losing.

"of course not!"

As the core of the team, Gary Payton naturally needs to be the leading brother at this time.

Although there is a big difference in points now, once you give up, there is really no chance.

What's more, the problem of mentality will not only affect one game, but also the next one.

However, just as Gary Payton was about to speak, another voice sounded.

"Even if we lose, we have to fight back. The ball can be lost, but people can't be cowardly!"

Looking back, it was Wang Hao.

This surprised Gary Payton very much. Even though he was listless just now, why did he regain his energy all of a sudden?
Regarding the situation of this game, he is naturally very clear that the situation is very unfavorable to them.

Apart from the home court advantage and the referee, the most important thing is because of Wang Hao's abnormal performance.

Of course, Gary Payton also knew that it was Wang Hao's fault.

As a rookie and this is the first time to participate in the playoffs, if he encounters this situation, he will definitely perform abnormally.

Even if he himself encountered this situation for the first time, the result would not be better than this.

It's just that Gary Payton was only an important member of the team at the time, but he was not the absolute core.

Nowadays, Wang Hao is the absolute second core for the Sonics. Once he plays abnormally, there must be problems.

"That's right, it's impossible to surrender. It's a big deal." As the boss of the team, Gary Payton also spoke out immediately.

Although Wang Hao took the lead, it's just that Gary Payton didn't pay much attention to it.

In addition to character, more important is age.

The impact of age on athletes is not only physical fitness and athletic ability, but also psychological.

Otherwise, Gary Payton in the original time and space would not go to the group, for the championship, again and again.

"Very well, I also don't like the guy on the other side's mouth, if that's the case, let's fight."

Seeing the recovery of the players' momentum, Paul Westphal immediately made tactical arrangements for the second half.

In fact, tactics are not the most important thing. Winning two games in a row has proved that their tactics are fine.

What's more important is the mentality.

By the way, there is another problem, that is, pay attention to fouls, especially Wang Hao has committed four fouls.

The halftime break ends and the second half begins.

I don't know if it is because of too many wins and a 20-point difference, it is difficult to complete the reversal in the playoffs.

The advantage is too great, and the mentality of the Spurs has also been enlarged.

No, when the inside is double-teamed, after getting the ball from the outside, he doesn't have that much patience.

What?Do you want to continue to conduct the ball?How about trying one?
Mario missed the middle distance, and Johnson's three-pointer was still so far-fetched.

And on the other side, that is, the Sonics.

First, Gary Payton made a strong hit, and then Wang Hao hit a three-pointer through a run.

With this three-pointer, all the fans who followed the Sonics game all cheered at this time.

They waited too long for this ball.

Everyone knew very well that if Wang Hao couldn't adjust his state, the only thing waiting for them was to lose.

Although they knew very well that this had nothing to do with Wang Hao, the referee's decision made him helpless.

But as a fan, who doesn't want to see the gods come down to earth when their team is behind?
"Damn, cheer me up, defend, defend...how many times do I have to say that?"

Popovich's voice resounded from the sidelines. He had already seen the problem, and his players were too relaxed.

The huge point difference is indeed easy to let people relax their vigilance, but this is not his purpose as the head coach.

At critical times, help the team make the right choice.
