Chapter 1053 Advice, comprehension

The Eastern regular season is over, and the playoffs are officially announced.

Ranked by record, the top eight in the Eastern Conference are the Raptors, Heat, Celtics, 76ers, Cavaliers, Pacers, Bucks, and Wizards.

Immediately afterwards, the regular season in the Western Conference ended quickly, and the playoffs in the Western Conference were announced. The Rockets ranked first in the record (65 wins and 17 losses), followed by the Warriors, Trail Blazers, Thunder, Jazz, and Pelicans , Spurs, Timberwolves.

The teams that did not enter the playoffs have already begun to prepare for the next season, while the teams that entered the playoffs are actively preparing for the playoffs.

Miami, American Airlines Arena.

Today's regular training is over, and Xiang Long is still training, but today besides Meng Yun, there are Spoelstra, Craig, and Rostern on the sidelines.

"Whoa, whoa"

Xiang Long was running back and forth, and in the empty training arena, he could even hear his panting clearly, sweat flying in the air and falling on the floor.

Running all the time, running back and forth.

"It can't go on like this." Craig frowned and said, "Xiang Long's training intensity is too high. Even with a professional team behind him, the danger is still great, and it is easy to hurt yourself. The playoffs are coming soon. It's coming, if you get injured at this time."

"Yes." Rostern also said: "The playoffs are coming soon, and Xiang Long must stop this kind of training. He needs to rest, reserve his energy for the playoffs, and adjust his state."

As they spoke, the two looked at Meng Yun together.

Meng Yun smiled wryly and spread his hands together: "Two coaches, what do you think I'm doing? I've tried to persuade you, but it didn't work. Why don't you try it, maybe it will work."

The two were speechless, who didn't know that your kid and Xiang Long had the best relationship, even if you tried to persuade him, it didn't work, it's not the same if we talk about it.

But the playoffs are coming soon.

The two could only look at Spoelstra, ask Spoelstra what he thought, and see what he could do.

"Our opponent in the first round is the Bucks. It shouldn't be a big problem to beat them." Coach Spoelstra said: "We should meet the Celtics in the second round. The Pacers are not the opponents of the Celtics. , The Celtics are likely to advance in the first round. The Celtics are more difficult to deal with than the Bucks, but we still have a certain advantage against them, so we should have at least half a month."

The three of Meng Yun looked at each other in blank dismay.

Coach Spoelstra didn't explain after finishing speaking, and walked to the field and shouted: "Xiang Long, stop for a moment."

"Wait another five minutes."

"Uh" Coach Spoelstra was a little embarrassed, and shook his head with a wry smile, "This guy is really stubborn."

Meng Yun and Craig couldn't help snickering, coach Spoelstra couldn't do anything about Xiang Long, the coach had to wait to talk, Xiang Long was considered awesome.

After waiting for 5 minutes, Xiang Long stopped.

He came to Coach Spoelstra: "Coach."

Coach Spoelstra said: "The playoffs are coming soon. Your training like this consumes too much on yourself, and it is difficult to maintain a sufficient state. When it comes to the playoffs, your performance will be greatly affected. Influence, do you know these things?"

"I know." Xiang Long nodded.

"Well." Coach Spoelstra said again: "I know you have always insisted on your own ideas, and I will not advise you to stop this kind of training. But I suggest you reduce the intensity of training, haven't you noticed? Even if It’s because your training intensity is so high, you almost train to the limit of your physical fitness every time, but you don’t gain much.”

Xiang Long's heart trembled, and his brows were slightly frowned. He did realize this. After training for so long, it stands to reason that he shouldn't gain nothing, but in fact he never captured the feeling of "breaking the limit". nothing.

This is very unreasonable, and even makes Xiang Long feel deeply desperate. Could it be that this method really doesn't work, that he really can't break through the limit?

Seeing Xiang Long frowning and thinking, Spoelstra smiled slightly and said, "You should have realized it too."

Xiang Long nodded: "Yes, I have also realized this recently. I have tried so many times and tried my best to train, but I have hardly gained anything."

"Do you know where the problem is?" Spoelstra didn't intend to show off, and then explained: "Your problem is that you just practice at ordinary times and ignore the game. As a basketball player, the most important thing is always On the pitch, in the game."

"You should know that the usual training is only to lay the foundation, and the real improvement and progress must be obtained from the competition."

Xiang Long's eyes lit up, thoughtful.

There is no competition, just training blindly. This will make your foundation more and more solid, but it is difficult to improve qualitatively. Training is for competition. Only by going to the competition to experience actual combat can lead to quantitative changes. to the process of qualitative change.

Training is 0, competition is 1, and the combination of 0 and 1 is not just as simple as adding, but like computer code, it can have countless changes and infinite possibilities.

"You put too much energy into training." Coach Spoelstra continued: "Which one is more important, training or competition? It should be said that both are important. But if you want to break through the limit, it is very important in training." Difficult to do."

"I understand." Xiang Long's eyes lit up, and he was enlightened, "Training is just accumulation, which brings me infinitely close to the critical point of breaking through the limit. This is just the accumulation of quantity, but the real breakthrough requires qualitative transformation. This is pure What can't be achieved by training, we need to find the answer in the game."

"That's right." Spoelstra laughed gratifiedly: "You are very smart, do you know where the problem is now?"

"Yeah." Xiang Long nodded.

"Do you know what to do?" Coach Spoelstra asked again.

"Understood." Xiang Long said, "Thank you coach."

Spoelstra waved his hand: "Thank you for what I do. This is what a coach should do. Well, think about it for yourself and adjust it. The playoffs are coming soon."

Xiang Long nodded again and again, his eyes sparkling.

Such a long time of training has no effect, which makes him very depressed and even a little desperate, but now the words of coach Spoelstra seem to open a window for him, pointing out a way for him to Knowing that he was on the wrong path before, now that he has guidance, the future is bright.

Meng Yun has been listening by the side. At this moment, apart from being happy for Xiang Long, he also has some understanding. It is difficult to improve his physical fitness. Now he mainly hones his skills, but just like his physical fitness, skills also have their bottlenecks. What should he do? How to break this bottleneck?
Perhaps, it is also necessary to go to the competition to find the answer.
