NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 199 Mamba spirit tempered into steel
At the end of the second quarter, the Bobcats ended with:

60:51
Also led the Jazz by nine points, ending the first half of the contest.

"After the third quarter, everyone cheered up and tried to expand the score. The team has suffered a three-game losing streak, so a victory is urgently needed to defend everyone's sweat."

"Especially Mo Williams and Pachulia. Since the two of you were traded here, the team hasn't won yet. You must have heard the news from the outside world."

"Although the reason for the loss cannot be blamed on you, but that I failed to get you together as soon as possible, but obviously, I believe you don't want to see such news."

"I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first half, because I have already seen something different from the previous games in your body. It has nothing to do with skills or experience. This kind of thing is called confidence."

"You have become more and more fighting spirit, and fighting spirit is the first key to a strong team. If you don't believe that you can win, then who can believe you."

Under Liu Rui's series of manipulations, the average age of the Bobcats is getting younger and younger.

The starting five are all rookies in recent years.

Jefferson, the main offensive point on the bench, is only a rookie this year, and only a few people on the backup guard line can be regarded as veterans who have played in the league for many years.

Although in normal times, Smith plays the role of spiritual leader in the locker room, and he is very successful in transmitting experience.

However, it is inevitable that young players are still not stable enough. After consecutive missed shots, they are not confident enough and become afraid to shoot.

These cannot be avoided with a few words. Liu Rui is not a mentor of chicken soup for the soul, but you have to admit that at certain moments, these so-called chicken soup for the soul are far more important than you saying nothing.

This is why there are always some boring speeches before some important occasions.

Because sometimes, these languages ​​give you feedback far beyond expectations.

To be honest, Liu Rui is quite satisfied with the current state of the team.

Especially Okafor, he didn't play like a rookie at all, which may also have something to do with the honing of Rio Kafor in college.

After so many years of honing in college, he has won all the honors he deserves, which has given Okafor a psychological endurance far beyond that of ordinary rookies.

Even in the game, there are many performance disorders, but so far, it can be regarded as the most stable player in the Bobcats.

After all, Wallace has been in the league for many years. What he lacks has never been psychological counseling, but enough playing time.

So after Liu Rui gave him all this, Wallace also gave back to Liu Rui with a perfect data.

And it is very likely to be selected for the All-Star this year. The Bobcats were established in the first year of this year. If there is a player who enters the All-Star and is selected for the first time in his career, this kind of player who has grown up in the Bobcats will definitely have a great impact on the history of the Bobcats.

This honor will also be recorded in Liu Rui's personal file. After all, Wallace can be said to be a child trained by Liu Rui.

In the previous losing streak, Mo Williams and Kevin Martin, including Al Jefferson, who has a strong inside offense, fell into the unstable stage of rookies.

Mo Williams, in particular, even became afraid to shoot for a while on the court, which made Liu Rui's expression not very good.

After explaining to Bickerstaff, he has not checked the recent training status of the players.

Until the end of the first half of the game today, the players responded well to Liu Rui with actions.

Although Martin still felt bad in the first half of the game, facing Lagabel, Liu Rui would not ask a rookie to perform so amazingly.

Among them, Liu Rui's favorite is of course Ariza. Ariza can be said to be the one with the worst statistics among these rookies except Pachulia.

It is also because of the positioning Liu Rui gave him, that is, a pure 3D player.

Although in many offensive games, Ariza will still contribute 5 for 1, 6 for 1, such data.

But Liu Rui maintained enough patience with him, because Ariza not only worked very hard in the usual training, no matter how many times he missed shots on the court, Ariza would still bravely try to shoot when faced with open opportunities.

Frustration on offense will not affect his performance on the defensive end.

If you hit a lot of irons, you may be abused by people, and you may be thought to have delayed other players.

But a hundred tempers make steel, and dripping water wears away stone.

People who are not outstanding in talent can reach a higher level only through continuous hard work acquired.

In later generations, this term is called the Mamba spirit.

And this spirit has always existed in Ariza, but the difference is that Ariza is a player who prefers money.

It is also because of his childhood experience that he has become more dependent on money.

I think that only when I get more money in my hands, will my heart become more at ease.

He is used to living a hard life, and out of human instinct, he would choose the former between money and honor. Of course, there is nothing wrong with such a decision.

But for improving himself, Ariza has been doing very well.

In the Huoyong battle of later generations, because he missed so many three-pointers, he was constantly abused by people on the Internet, and many people called him Tiezha.

But in any case, to any team, Ariza can get playing time.

There are even more than 80% of the time when they appear as the main force.

They are all able to get enough playing time under different head coaches, which is the best proof.

So Liu Rui has never been afraid of these players hitting the iron, because no matter what, they are just some newcomers.

Few people will peak at their debut, and there are only a few rookies who peak at their debut in the entire history of the NBA.

But it is undeniable that Liu Rui urgently needs them to grow up quickly.

It has nothing to do with overthrowing the seedlings, because Liu Rui knows their style of play and personal skills at the peak of their later generations.

Just instill in them what belongs to them in advance.

Let them avoid some detours and get on the right track quickly.

However, all of this is when there is playing time and possession of the ball.

So Liu Rui wanted them to act boldly and try boldly, instead of being humble.

Being unselfish is a good thing, but only if you have already attracted the approval of others, and in this case, your politeness will be called unselfish.

If you are just an unknown junior, your so-called selflessness will only make people think that you can't seize the opportunity...
