One Guard
Chapter 240: Want to Win and Fear of Losing
\u003ccontent\u003e
Yiyang panted heavily and looked at the score on the big screen. 92 to 97, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind. Lost, this time, they really lost.
Beside Yiyang, the Trail Blazers players in white jerseys huddled together. In the middle of this group of guys is not the "Yellow Mamba" Roy who is back from injury, and it is not the new hope of the Trail Blazers Aldridge. It was the desperate Saburo, Gerald Wallace, who was only transferred from the Bobcats in the middle of this season.
The Blazers players looked ecstatic, as if they had won the championship. Because the victory in this game is too important to them, and it is too hard-won. When the game was finally won, the pressure in the hearts of the Trail Blazers players was released like a tide.
Yiyang's heart fell from the clouds to the bottom, the feeling is really indescribable. He bit his lip and continued to stare at the players celebrating on the field.
"Gerald Wallace, his tough style makes me sweat for him. You know what? In a playoff-level confrontation, he is easy to get injured when he hits the rim so desperately. But this guy just didn't stop, and he really rushed to a victory. Wallace is as diligent as a farmer, and he used his own sweat to reap the fruits!" On the commentary stand, even the mean Barkley , today also used all the beautiful adjectives on Gerald Wallace.
Such a victory, such a player, no one can fault it.
"2 to 1, the Portland Trail Blazers can breathe a sigh of relief. They pulled one back and pulled themselves back from the cliff. The next game will be in the Rose Garden, and the Mavericks want to take the lead Returning to Dallas, I’m afraid it will take a little more effort.” Kenny Smith is looking forward to the future duel between the two sides more and more, and this round of the series will only get more and more exciting!
Yiyang stared blankly at the Blazers players celebrating crazily. This was the first time he tasted a loss in the playoffs. The frustration after losing in the playoffs is unmatched in any previous game.
When you give everything you can and you lose, it really hurts inside.
"Let's go, we should go." Just when Yiyang was in a daze, Kidd suddenly patted Yiyang's shoulder from behind.
Yiyang turned his head to look at Kidd, and then at Gerald Wallace who was roaring with excitement. The "lion" with dreadlocks seems to be using his roar to mark his territory. The Rose Garden is not where you come whenever you want!
"What's the matter? Are you unwilling to lose?" Seeing that Yiyang didn't move his footsteps, Kidd
So he just stood there and chatted with Yiyang.
Today, Yiyang can be said to be the hardest player on the court besides Gerald Wallace. Originally hoped to win the victory with the help of Dongfeng who won the best sixth man, but this good wish was crushed by Wallace himself.
"We obviously did a good job..." Yiyang looked thoughtful, as if he was still thinking about why he lost.
"Yeah, we did a good job."
"Then why can't we win the game?"
"Who told you we can't win?"
Hearing what Kidd said, Yiyang pointed to the score on the big screen.
"You mean that score? Dude, it's a best-of-seven playoffs! A game win doesn't count as a win, the one who actually makes the series wins! You want to be the winner? Okay, then Just stick to the end! If I were you, I would go back to the locker room now, take a comfortable bath, and then go back to the hotel to have a good sleep. Tomorrow, I will go to training with energy, and the day after tomorrow, right here, Take back what we lost!" Kidd pointed to the hardwood floor of the rose garden, Yiyang raised his head, that kid's eyes were bright!
"Come on, Jason."
Kidd smiled. "Come on, boy."
※※※
When Yiyang won the best sixth man trophy in Portland, the local media and fans were extremely jealous.
But when Yiyang lost in the first game after winning the sixth man of the year award, the atmosphere in the entire Portland city became as joyous as a festival.
The next day, the newspaper kiosks facing the streets of Portland were full of news about the Trail Blazers' victory. Of course, the media did not forget to add a sentence to the news. "This is our sincere congratulations for also winning the best sixth man award!"
No one wants to see the other party do evil in their own land, let alone Yiyang is a Chinese.
In addition to the suppression of the basketball game, the local media in Portland naturally hope that the pressure of public opinion can crush this rookie. After all, winning an award like the best sixth man will naturally bring you extra pressure in addition to the honor.
They made a big fuss by catching on to this point. Didn't Dirk fall in the first round because of the huge pressure when he won the mvp trophy? What's more, Yiyang is just a rookie. Continue to put pressure on him, it must be right!
Carlisle doesn't care about this issue, because under normal circumstances, Yiyang will not be affected by these things. But in today's training, Yiyang's condition was so bad that everyone was sweating.
On the training ground, Yiyang used Nowitzki's pick-and-roll to break through to the mid-range position. He stopped suddenly, but instead of jumping and shooting, he passed the ball immediately and found Terry who was standing at the left corner.
Even in training, the players' defense is not lax, which is also Carlisle's request. If you want to have a good training effect, you must simulate the situation that is closest to actual combat.
Stevenson waved his arm to catch up to Terry. Terry didn't panic, because from the corner of his eyes, he saw Yiyang get rid of Kidd through a counter-run!
Just when Yiyang was in position, Terry suddenly flicked his wrist! The basketball moved quickly and fell into the hands of Yiyang who was outside the three-point line on the right.
Kidd has already rushed towards Yiyang at this time, this is a fleeting opportunity. But with Peja's guidance, Yiyang can shoot very quickly. Before Kidd interfered, Yiyang threw the basketball.
Seeing Yiyang shoot again, Carlisle clenched his fists nervously off the court.
"Go in, you must go in!"
"Boom!" However, once again, Yiyang missed.
"What's going on with you today?" Even Kidd, who was defending Yiyang on the training ground, was a little puzzled. This was the fifth time that Yiyang missed a shot in a row. And it can be seen that Yiyang's overall condition today is not outstanding.
"It's nothing, let's continue!" It was obvious that Yiyang was also angry with himself. He wants to play the game too much, he wants to prove that he deserves the best sixth man. And he just lost because he wanted to fight well.
On the next defense, Kidd and Cardinal played a pick-and-roll. The former hit the ground and passed the ball through the pick-and-roll, and gave the ball to Stevenson who cut inside.
Yiyang could have switched defenses, but he didn't. Both Terry and Yiyang rushed towards Kidd, but Stevenson was completely emptied. Stevenson was also not polite with his teammates. After getting the opportunity, he went straight to the basket and scored a dunk with one hand.
"Stop, stop!" Seeing this, Carlisle rushed directly into the field with a loud voice.
"Everyone take a break first, Yi, you come here." Carlisle pulled Yiyang aside alone, and the others also wisely focused their attention on other places.
"Why didn't you defend just now?" Carlisle was very puzzled, Yiyang's defense was not at that level.
"I...I'm afraid I'll lose Kidd. So, I just want to keep up with my matchup, and I don't think about supplementary defense..." Yiyang is now afraid of failure, and he is also on the defensive end. Afraid of losing their own people.
"Scared? You weren't like this before. What's wrong?"
"I've been thinking about losing in my mind...what to do if I lose, what to do if I don't score, what to do if I lose my defense. But the more I care about it, the more difficult it is for me to play!" Yi Yang obviously also wanted to solve the problem, otherwise, with his personality, it would be impossible for him to tell Carlisle what was in his heart.
Carlisle stared at Yiyang for a while, Yiyang was finally influenced by outside public opinion once. All the Portland media were waiting to see Yiyang's jokes, the more this happened, the more Yiyang wanted to win them. And this, is the problem. It's hard to perform well on the basketball court when you can't calm down.
The academic coach smiled, at least now, he is sure that Yiyang is not a "Terminator" from the future. This kid will also encounter difficulties!
"Then you might as well think about how successful it would be if you just defended yourself. Don't keep thinking about losing. Everything has two sides. There is no need to focus on the dark side. In fact, you don't You didn’t think too much about what you want to win, you just think about what you’re afraid of losing. Wanting to win and being afraid of losing are not the same concept.” After Carlisle finished speaking, he patted Yiyang on the shoulder. Then he blew the whistle hanging on his chest, signaling everyone to continue training.
He believed that that smart boy Yiyang could understand what he said.
Yiyang was thoughtful, then trotted back to the field.
What a damn best sixth man, what a damn public opinion pressure. I just want to win!
Yiyang clenched his fist, wanting to win or afraid of losing, which side of the coin would he choose? \u003c/content\u003e
