The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1422 mind
Latest URL: The Lakers' fourth defeat of the season was set by the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves are one of the teams that has sprung up this season.
Although the Keith Van Horn selected in the draft is not a cornerstone of the team that can change the team, but the Danny Manning they exchanged from the Heat is a top ten superstar in active service, enough to make a weak team The team becomes a strong team.
However, with the strength of the Lakers, it is meaningless to simply discuss the opponent's strength if they want to lose the game.
Because no matter how strong the opponent is, it is impossible to defeat them with hard power. For the Lakers to lose, something needs to happen.
The accident of this game happened on the outside.
The Lakers didn't shoot three-pointers, but the Timberwolves seem to have set their three-point shooting percentage to 100 in 2k, and they must hit open shots, and they have a shooting percentage of more than 50% when they are disturbed.
Ray Allen ushered in the night of his career, shooting outside and inside, scoring 42 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
And Manning lived up to expectations. Facing the defensive line of Garnett and Duncan, he gave full play to the special characteristics of the unicorn inside line. He launched an attack from the outside line and flexibly led the team, just like a No. 1 player. Like the fourth position, he had 38 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists.
The Lakers, who are collectively sluggish on the offensive end, will rely on defense to maintain the suspense of the game until the last quarter, but in the end they cannot escape the defeat.
Louis didn't know if he had opened his mouth. A few days ago, he just said it casually, and the news of the world came.
At the press conference that night, the indistinct smiles on the faces of the media made Louis feel as uncomfortable as eating flies.
There's not much to sum up this defeat, though.
The starting Five Tigers didn't play a strong point on the offensive end. If Barkley strengthens the offense, the already excellent Timberwolves will perform better.
】
If I have to summarize anything, I can only talk about Garnett's temper. Recently, in order to learn from Rodman, this guy has become obsessed.
But the problem is that Rodman caused trouble on the court, breaking the opponent's defense.
Garnett is good. When what he does can't let the opponent break through the defense, he himself will become anxious, and when it is serious, he will lose control of his emotions.
It is a common problem of impetuous young people. Since Louis started the "meditation" training, he can basically control his emotions at a stable point.
What is the use of mastering "meditation" if it doesn't help those around you?
The day after the loss to the Timberwolves, Louie specifically called out Kobe and Garnett.
Before the training started, Louis took the blindfold and handed it to them.
"Sir, what is this for?"
Garnett asked curiously.
"Recently, I plan to add a small item to the training class - this item will neither exercise your basketball skills nor strengthen your physique, and has nothing to do with tactics." Louis said directly, "But, it can Let you have a stronger heart."
"Sir, how do we start?"
Louie didn't tell them that the next training session was meditation.
Because things like meditation are too easily associated with monks, and Kobe and Garnett must have no interest in becoming monks part-time.
"Now, put the blindfold on."
The two did so.
"Imagine sitting on the side of a busy road, and the blindfold covers your eyes." Louis described the scene softly, "Maybe you can hear the noise around you and the sound of cars whizzing by, but you see No, because your eyes are covered, right?"
Garnett nodded in surprise: "Yes, that's right."
Kobe listened quietly. In fact, what he meditated was another scene.
But he also nodded in agreement.
"Actually, everyone thinks and sees different scenes." Louie said loudly, "Because our inner world is always full of noise and thoughts, so even when you sit down and start to relax, or When you go to bed at night, you still have that noise in your ears, don't you?"
The more Garnett listened, the more he felt that this was about him.
exactly!
Kobe is also irrefutable. He can indeed feel that he can't calm down in his heart. Even when he is alone, he feels uneasy. He always thinks it is because he is not good enough. Now it seems that maybe it is not the case?
"Now, imagine taking the blindfold off, and for the first time you see your surroundings clearly, and that's your mind. You see cars going by, you see things in different colors, shapes and sizes. Maybe sometimes you’re drawn to the sound of the cars and other times you’re more interested in how they look, and that’s when you first take off the blindfold.”
Garnett became panicked.
He said something funny, as if he saw something dirty in his inner world, and was puzzled by how many thoughts came to him.
Kobe is much calmer than Garnett, he is more willing to think.
Louie saw Garnett's reaction and said with some amusement: "Don't panic, this is what the inner world looks like, not only yours, but everyone's. That's why it's so important to train your mind. It's hard to know what to do about it when you're aware of the chaos in your inner world. Some people can't help but panic. Sometimes people try to stop these thoughts from outside, and sometimes , they will try to ignore them and think about something else. Or, if the thoughts are interesting, they may try to feed them and engage in them. In fact, all of these are just trying to escape reality.”
This training session will soon be over.
Louis taught them two basic introductory methods, and gave this kind of training a lofty name—Shen Si—and asked them to meditate for half an hour every day.
Louie has no plans to spread meditation training to the entire team.
Training pays attention to teaching students according to their aptitude. High school students like Kobe and Garnett are immature in mind, so there is nothing wrong with using meditation to strengthen their hearts.
And for someone like Duncan who was able to say no to the NBA at the age of 20 and resolutely chose to return to college to finish his fourth year, it is disrespectful for him to have this kind of training.
After that, Louis went to Wilson to ventilate again.
benj was the first person on the lakers to experience meditation training, and the response to this training has been very good for him.
Louis hoped that Benj could use his own experience to help those two high school students get started faster~www.mtlnovel.com~ Naturally, he agreed.
After that, the season entered the final stage, and the Lakers rested a large number of main players on the eve of the end of the regular season.
This does not have any psychological burden for the Lakers, who have locked the record for the most wins in regular season history. Based on the principle of taking a rest as long as he can, Louis made benj, Duncan, Garnett, and Dumars all play free cards.
Even if many of the main players are rested, the Lakers' cards are still strong, but their opponents are not weak.
Their opponents, the Miami Heat, know that this is the best time to beat the Lakers, and the whole team treats the game wholeheartedly.
After a hard fight, the side that wanted to win more stood at the end.
The Lakers lost the fifth game of the season, and then defeated the 76ers in the season finale, ending the regular season with a record of 77 wins and 5 losses.
