The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1413 restless mind
The latest website: The battle between Liu Yuqing and Kobe Bryant's starting lineup is even more suspenseful than Louis expected.
From the perspective of personal strength, Kobe has the upper hand.
This can be seen in the team competition.
It is not difficult for Kobe to beat Liu Yuqing face-to-face, but Louis also said that the Lakers' second position is more functional, so the ability to reflect personal ability like offense with the ball is not that important.
Unless Kobe's personal strength is too strong to be ignored, whoever has better functionality will be able to serve as the starter.
In the official game, Kobe's most brilliant is still his personal ability, he is already a good strength.
If you need to arrange one-on-one singles on the weak side, Kobe will be a good choice.
But Bodi Loga complained after the game: "Kobe held the ball for too long, moved too little, and his outside shots were not stable enough."
As the brains of the team on the field, Bodi Loga's opinions on Kobe annoyed the latter.
"I train hard every day not to match you!"
Duncan told the truth: "Actually, as long as you increase the three-point shooting percentage, the problem will not exist."
"That's right, Bean, your outside shots are obviously not as good as Jiang's."
Garnett chimed in.
There is no doubt about it.
Liu Yuqing established herself as the league's top shooter last season, and this season's opening stage is even hotter. She currently leads the league in three-point shooting with 45%, while Kobe's three-point shooting is only 36.7%. It's league average and adequate, but not reliable enough as a shooter.
The other main players of the Lakers are used to standing on the perimeter with open hands, and Liu Yuqing, who basically never misses opportunities, naturally shoots less than 37% from the perimeter.
After four games, Kobe not only showed his magic in one of the games, rushing to shoot, causing the team to lose, but also witnessed Liu Yuqing, under the feeding of Wilson and Bodi Loga, shooting 10 of 12 in a single game Horror three-point performance.
At the end of the competition with Kobe, Liu Yuqing's performance not only did not decline, but her three-point shooting percentage even increased by one percentage point.
However, Kobe, who was not suitable for the starting line-up because of his self-willedness and the expansion of his mentality due to his advanced strength, had a subtle change in his mentality.
He lost.
This season, Liu Yuqing will continue to serve as the starting No. 2 for the Lakers.
And Kobe and Barkley formed the Losers Alliance.
The way Barkley spends his sorrows is to eat and drink, but Kobe trains harder.
He is such an axis person.
Since Liu Yuqing became the starter because his three-point shooting is more accurate than him, then he has no way out, and can only catch up with the former in his three-point shooting percentage through hard training day after day.
It's just that the 46% three-point shooting rate looks like a myth.
Considering that Liu Yuqing hits more than three three-pointers per game, this shooting rate looks even more terrifying.
How on earth did he maintain such a terrifying hit rate?
Kobe secretly observed Liu Yuqing's training, just like he painstakingly studied benjstep during the offseason.
It is said that hard work pays off, but no matter how much he studies, he can't find the secret to Liu Yuqing's high hit rate.
One day, Kobe couldn't take it anymore, so he took the initiative to ask, "Why can you shoot so accurately? Could it be that you are the lucky one chosen by the shooting god?"
Liu Yuqing looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.
"Don't look at me like that!" Kobe felt despised by Liu Yuqing.
"Maybe it's because you haven't trained enough?"
"Bullshit!" Kobe yelled, "I've been up for practice in the morning!"
"Maybe you're not as hardworking as you say you are?"
"Nonsense!"
Liu Yuqing said sarcastically: "You work so hard, why can't you increase your three-point shooting percentage to over 40%? Is 37% your limit?"
Not working hard enough, or lacking in talent, you have to pick one.
Kobe, who was blown up, didn't choose any of them, but silently increased the amount of outside shooting training.
Approaching the Christmas game, the Lakers lost only one game.
If Kobe hadn't played a demon in the competition with Liu Yuqing, maybe now they have approached the regular season winning streak set by the Lakers led by Chamberlain and West 25 years ago.
After so many years, Louis no longer cared about this kind of record.
For him, if you can break it, you can break it, and if you can't break it, there is no loss.
More important than the record is to stabilize the mood of the players.
The Lakers have become the Beatles of professional sports, with a following everywhere they go.
An inconspicuous little friction will be infinitely magnified by people.
Any source inside is a treasure trove for the media.
They are in full swing, some people praise them, and some people slander them.
After Dejan Bodiloga became a celebrity, his negative press has not stopped.
The news focused on a few things.
Bodi Loga was not a likable character, he was not the unassuming kind of guy who just said the right nonsense that people like to hear.
At the same time, although his advertising endorsements have made him worth half a billion dollars, he still hates tipping culture.
He is the only NBA player who refuses to tip.
Even Byrd couldn't do that.
Bird was only opposed to tipping too much back then, and Bodi Loga is already better than blue in this area.
His attitude towards tips is no longer a matter of giving more or less, but, why should he give?
He would never give more money, not even a penny.
The shape Barkley regained not so long ago has quickly lost shape since losing the starter.
This time, he seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.
Buckner doesn't plan to get back into shape anymore, and it doesn't matter to him what kind of shape he maintains.
Because Duncan and Garnett will only get stronger and stronger, and the gap between them will only widen rather than narrow. This cannot be changed by him losing a few pounds of fat.
Instead of torturing yourself cynically like Kobe, embrace it.
That's how people are. It's not easy to try your best to prove that you can do something, but it's very simple to give up and lie down.
Barkley has regained his calm, which is a good thing, but there are still many internal problems for the Lakers.
Rodman's performance was basically not unexpected. He caused troubles every day, was either suspended, was suspended by the team, and was absent from training for no reason. Sometimes, he was like a shadow player of the Lakers.
He exists on the roster, but teammates rarely see him.
Garnett, who is no longer competing with Duncan, is worrying about another matter.
This year is his contract year, and he has to play good enough data and performance to save enough capital for his contract renewal negotiations.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Garnett often made mistakes because of his eagerness to perform.
Standing in the starting position, Garnett often behaved more anxiously than Kobe off the court.
A word from Wilson reminded Louis: "Jasmine, maybe you should try to calm yourself down with meditation."
】
Garnett's answer made people laugh: "Ben, my buddy doesn't want to be a monk."
"I meditate a lot, do you think I'm a monk?"
They chatted like this, Wilson may be serious, but Garnett didn't care.
Louis took it to heart.
Last season, he asked Wilson how to control his desires. Wilson's answer was that he learned the way of meditation from Phil Jackson during the offseason.
Louis is not interested in Zen, but as the head coach, Zen master's most unique strength is his control over the locker room, and his ability to tame wild beasts has been proven in his previous life.
Therefore, Louis bought related books to read, and tried to enter a state of meditation in his spare time.
It was difficult at first, and Louie would often fall asleep during the meditation, but then he got the hang of it.
Because this in itself is not an unfathomable thing.
All those who fail at the beginning of meditation~www.mtlnovel.com~ are just struggling with their inner mind and their mind is bound accordingly.
Finally, Louis completely relaxed his body and mind instead of struggling in endless thoughts.
It felt like my body was a washing machine running non-stop. There are some ideas that I like, but there are many ideas that I don't like.
The same goes for Louie's emotional state at the time, as if a busy mind wasn't enough.
Louie felt as if he had been in unnecessary worry, depression. This emotion is generally at a normal level, but there is a tendency to get out of control from time to time. Whenever this emotion gets out of control, he is helpless, as if he is completely at the mercy of this emotion, panicked and helpless. When things were good, everything was fine, but when things were bad, his head felt like it was going to explode.
In an instant, Louis woke up from this state.
He took a few breaths and felt that he had found a little trick, but it was not enough to help Garnett and Kobe, and he needed to continue to practice.
