stadium ambition

Chapter 295

Su Yang is worried that George's enthusiasm will come and go quickly, after all, he will play 82 games throughout the season.

A lot of flying away and seeing friends too often can tire a rookie player very quickly.

Many players lose enthusiasm quickly if they encounter problems such as the rookie wall or too little playing time.

For example, Dakomilicic, a talented boy who entered the NBA, was forced to lose his confidence by Larry Brown.

Many old players will also encounter similar problems, and after playing for a few years, they can be regarded as relatively high-paying jobs.

"Then how can I maintain my enthusiasm for a long time?" George suddenly calmed down.

"My personal suggestion is to set a lofty goal, such as becoming a Hall of Fame player, and then subdivide this goal, such as hitting an MVP in a certain season, hitting a scoring champion in a certain season, and summarizing feedback in stages."

"Understood, it can also be subdivided into each month, or even each game. For example, this game's three-point shooting percentage is low, and the next game will work hard to improve it, but what if it is too late to achieve the goal? Like MVP."

"This is a good question..." Su Yang thought for a moment, "Think about it for yourself first, we will talk later."

Self-positioning and self-positioning adjustments are very troublesome. When many players first entered the league, their dreams were not to mention being comparable to Jordan, but at least to become an All-Star level.

But many of these players will be eliminated soon, and it is remarkable to be able to persist for two seasons without being cut.

There are also some players whose ability is not high or low, always hovering between All-Stars and super giants.That kind of player is often the most painful, because he has put in no less effort than others, and his various talents are just enough, but he can't ask for it.

"See you tomorrow..." George waved goodbye.

...

After a night of rest, the Clippers team assembled at noon and flew to Oakland by special plane.Since the Warriors were about to fly back after the Warriors, the team did not settle in the hotel and rushed directly to the Oracle Center for training. First, they conducted video research and analysis.

The Warriors obtained the former Knicks main center David Lee through a trade in the off-season, and let go of major bench gangsters such as Anthony Randolph and Anthony Morrow. They also replaced the head coach with Keith Smart, which is officially on the road to reconstruction.

In addition to David Lee, another important reinforcement for the Warriors is the signing of free agent Dorell White. According to many analysts, Dorell White, as a 23 swingman, fits very well with the Warriors system and is very likely to hit a new career high. .

Van Gundy and several assistant coaches came to the Warriors preseason game, and after some research, they found that the Warriors deliberately strengthened the inside offense, but Stephen Curry performed better, especially in terms of three-point shooting.

Compared with other three-point masters, Curry's shot omen is smaller and faster, and it is difficult to be prevented and restricted.

Monta Ellis is still the same. Although he ranks highest in scoring in the Warriors, his efficiency is very low.

After some discussions, Van Gundy decided on the main defensive policy: defend Ellis alone, with a little restriction; for Curry and Dorrell White, ensure that someone is always in front, as for the others, they can defend as they want.

After setting a good goal, the whole team conducts regular training, focusing on the practice of third-line fast-break running positions and wide-range passing.

After the training was over, the whole team returned to the locker room for a rest, and Davis posted a link to the article in the group chat.

The article was posted on Twitter by a self-proclaimed professional psychoanalyst, and it was recognized by many fans, with tens of thousands of likes and reposts.

Such a theory is really incredible.

The core of the theory is that Su Yang has won almost all honors, only the best defensive player who is extremely demanding on outside players is difficult to obtain, and other honors such as the youngest XXX or scoring champion can be obtained as long as he wants.

The key is whether he is willing or not. From the author's point of view, Su Yang does not have that kind of strong desire, which will cause Su Yang not to go all out in the future competitions. After all, he has already proved his strength in many aspects, so there is nothing more to say.

The author's direct evidence is that Su Yang only scored 28 points in the first game, which is not as good as his career debut last year. Except for those three dunks on the court, he soon became a pure team leader. He didn't care about personal performance and statistics, and he was lazy by the way.

Some Su Yang fans pointed out in the comments that the purpose of Su Yang's playing is to better help the team and teammates.

The author used Jordan as an example, saying that Jordan won three consecutive championships twice and won the scoring champion each time, so better personal performance and better team performance do not conflict. Su Yang did not try to score more because of desire low.

"I didn't expect that someone knew me better than me..."

Su Yang was startled, and felt that this questioning routine was very familiar.

Thinking back a little, I remembered that fans questioned LeBron's many last-minute passes, which were exactly the same.

As long as he passes the ball, he dare not shoot key shots. He has no killer instinct and can only rely on his teammates to finish.

"Boss, I understand!" George shouted, "This article says that you have a part-time mentality, which is what you told me last night. You train hard before the game and analyze the video carefully, but you don't want to put in more effort during the game. It’s enough to accomplish the goal.”

"You understand what a fart!" Davis scolded with a smile, "This is to smear Su Yang from another angle, thinking that Su Yang cannot reach the legendary level of Jordan, Bird, and Magician, and reversely induces Su Yang to maintain the team for a long time. style of play."

"The author probably didn't think that much." Su Yang said, "I guess he just wanted to use a controversial theory to gain more attention. If I score more points tonight, he will probably say that I am not firm enough..."

McGrady smiled and said: "It may even be said that you are worried about being robbed of your honor, so grab the ball quickly."

"It's still possible..."

Su Yang immediately recalled that sometimes Kobe's teammates performed well, and at the same time Kobe also took a lot of shots, some fans would accuse Kobe of worrying about being robbed of the limelight and must outperform his teammates in performance. LeBron also had a similar experience.

George said: "These people are too picky? What should they do to make them satisfied?"

"They will never be satisfied!" Davis said, "Unless you retire with Jordan's level of honor, even Jordan was always questioned before his first three-peat, even without any valid reason. .”

"Always believe in yourself!" McGrady laughed, "This is the first lesson I taught you in the NBA."

George nodded silently, and everyone continued to chat, while doing basic work such as ankle binding.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the Clippers entered the court again, shooting and warming up while dealing with interviews and other matters.

The game was broadcast live by TNT across the United States, and Reggie Miller and Isaiah Thomas came to commentate on the spot.

After the two finished their opening remarks, they waved at Su Yang and invited him to chat with him.

Su Yang felt that it was feasible, so he happened to experience the commentator, and immediately went to sit between the two of them.

"Have you seen the article that is widely circulated today?" Thomas asked, "It means that you do not have the desire to become a legendary player. I see that many people are reposting it, and there are some discussions among our commentators."

Su Yang nodded, and Miller said, "Then tell us now, what is your career goal?"

"The night before I won the championship, Jordan called me and challenged me to be the scoring champion, so I will challenge for the scoring champion this season. As for my career, I will match Jordan..."

Before Su Yang finished speaking, Thomas rushed to say: "Don't just keep up with him, you can completely surpass him!"

　Sorry for the poor state and a bit of a mess.
