"Phew... Finally practice is over, I said boss, why did you play so badly and lose to the Bulls, I actually have to accompany you to practice more! It's not fair!" Antetokounmpo complained.
After all, Antetokounmpo is still a child, a shy Greek boy who has just turned 21 and has just qualified to go to a bar to drink. After trading, I had to suppress my talent to play on the bench and move back and forth from the point guard to the power forward position. My mental endurance has been exercised, but I am still a child at heart.
Now is the 21st century, and many 21-year-olds are still in school. This is why many young players who have entered the league for two or three years are not as mature as a rookie in the 90s.
Most of the players who entered the NBA in the 90s and [-]s entered the NBA after graduating from college, and they are already adults in terms of psychology...
Of course, there are weirdos like Kobe. He has never been naive, and he is so mature when he enters the NBA. He is even more psychologically mature than O'Neal, the league's number one center who was already at his peak at the time.
And this kind of mature psychology beyond ordinary people is quite annoying to other people.
For example, now, Kobe started his rhetoric again: "Train well, you have to rest, and you will have time to rest after you retire. Your professional career is only ten or twenty years old, and you will only be in your 20s when you retire. At that time, you have plenty of time to enjoy life. , But if you want to enjoy it at that time, you must work hard now to get a bigger contract and more money and not go bankrupt after retiring.”
You will go bankrupt!Liu Ren "cursed" Kobe in his heart, and then continued training.
What surprised Liu Ren was the reaction of his teammates. Antetokounmpo, Green, LaVine, Clarkson and others nodded repeatedly after listening to Kobe's words, and they took Kobe's words as the truth just like they read the Bible.
These people are hopeless!Liu Ren resolutely distanced himself from this group of people. He heard that idiots are contagious...
In yesterday's game against the Bulls, Liu Ren only scored 26 points on 9 of 25 shots. When Kobe, Antetokounmpo, Green, and Whiteside were not on the court, his performance became the performance of the Lakers. Being prevented from performing abnormally, the Lakers naturally couldn't play well.
The Lakers lost to the Bulls, which has become an underdog now. D'Antoni expressed his anger and asked the team to practice extra today. The performance will be abnormal, and it will be the All-Star Weekend soon, and then it will enter the stage of the playoffs. This situation cannot happen again, so the whole team will practice more!
D'Antoni isn't going to tell them that he's already tweeting about his No. 40 win this season and has to silently delete it.
……
As the season slowly deepens, the All-Star Weekend is still more than ten days away. The players' mental fatigue from the game is gradually dissipating, and the fans are starting to feel less dull. It's about picking up enthusiasm.
Playing in the NBA is originally a public job. Playing hard is a professional attitude, but playing with enthusiasm obviously requires the cooperation of the audience.
Rockets players often complain that the high-level white-collar fans in Houston are as calm as they are doing aviation science research, and it is better to go to the away game to listen to the boos.
Speaking of it, the Rockets players are also sad. Hearing the enthusiastic boos in the away game, they played better than at home.
The Lakers players have also gradually regained their vitality. The role of D'Antoni's rotation system has begun to really show. The players can no longer hear the complaints about their roles, or they are gradually getting used to it. An easy schedule, only needs to play two-thirds to three-quarters of the schedule of players on other teams, and has more physical fitness.
After D'Antoni forced the players to practice for an extra day on the 29th, the training resumed easy on the 30th. After all, it is the middle of the season and the game is not easy.
And on January 1, the Lakers' last game in January, D'Antoni has a goal.
Just get 40 wins!Flip the Clippers!
……
On January 1, at 31 pm, the Lakers challenged the Clippers "away".
Staples Center.
Every time Liu Ren plays the Clippers, he feels a little bit different.
It's my own home court, but I wear the jerseys of the visiting team, but there are more than half of the fans in the arena, especially the fans who are closer to the sidelines are mostly their own fans. This feeling is very strange.
Especially the ceiling above the court blocked by Clippers player posters is even more fascinating... wanting to beat the opponent to death.
However, for more than a month, the fans of the Clippers in downtown Los Angeles seem to be gradually losing, or the Clippers fans in downtown Los Angeles are gradually starting to lose their support for the Clippers.
This must be related to the fact that the Clippers will move to the Inglewood area next season. The pace of life of people nowadays is very fast. Not many people living in urban areas are willing to drive two or three hours to another city. Watching the game, it’s okay if you go directly to the highway. The key is that Inglewood and Los Angeles are connected, and it’s the road to the airport, so the traffic jam is terrible.
Two or three hours in a traffic jam is not the same concept as two or three hours of speeding on the expressway. Driving on the expressway for 3 hours may feel like it has passed quickly, but a one-hour drive becomes three hours. ...that feeling is almost like living a day.
The loss of the Clippers fans in Los Angeles is obvious. In today’s game, the Clippers fans did not compete with the Lakers fans for tickets. Two-thirds of the fans on the scene belonged to the Lakers. The feeling was similar when the Lakers played the Clippers at home in the last game.
Before the Clippers decided to move, more than half of the Clippers fans who played the Lakers at home were still Clippers fans, but now only one-third are left, and the home atmosphere has completely disappeared.
This made Liu Ren feel even more different. Maybe Kobe, who played for the Lakers at their peak in the early 21st century, couldn't feel it, because at that time, the Lakers at the Staples Center basically didn't have the so-called fastness when they played against the Clippers. Boat fans exist, and the current Clippers fans are basically accumulated diehards and accumulated after Paul came to the Clippers.
And when Liu Ren came to this world, the Staples Center was almost dominated by the Clippers who had a better record than the Lakers in those two years. Clippers fans have gradually "occupied" the Staples Center.
Now as the Lakers reach the peak again, the Clippers don’t know why they lose the chain inexplicably every year as long as they reach the playoffs, and every time they come suddenly and unreasonably, there are various mistakes. They were eliminated early in the playoffs in [-], and sometimes they didn’t even have to play in the playoffs to know they lost. This made many fans who liked the Clippers gradually lose their interest in supporting them because they became stronger. In addition, they had to leave the Clippers It's normal for fans to lose loyalty.
But no matter what, Liu Ren is very excited to play against the Clippers.
The reason is simple, the latest Lakers championship banner above the arena has his name written on it!Most of all, his name is only a little bit, and he can't find it without a telescope. He can't see it with the naked eye unless he mutates...
