Chapter 420 The person who decides victory or defeat

This is the TD North Shore Garden Arena in the early morning, and Shi Lei came here early as a habit.But when he changed his clothes and came under the basketball hoop with the basketball in his arms, preparing for a day of shooting training, he found it difficult to calm down.

The three failed games just past were always circling in his mind, and he couldn't help thinking: "Why did the team fail?"

Yes, he tried to find the reason through the video of the game, but this time he didn't let himself get what he wanted.If the first loss to the Kings can be attributed to their game attitude, the second loss to the Lakers is due to the balance of strength, whether the balance is left or right, then the third game?

There was a problem with the physical strength of the team's main players in this game, but what about the substitutes he led?He did everything he could, scored 17 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, but why did the team still fail?
"The king's almightiness met the embarrassment of the emperor, and the three-point rain of the warrior made the savior of the Celtics lower his high head!"

"Am I really wrong?"

Shi Lei couldn't help but let himself think this way, but his long-term education and the influence of his living environment made it difficult for him to give himself a clear answer.

"Team and individual", this is the first time Shi Lei has seriously thought about the real relationship between the two. Before that, he always thought that they were in opposition, but he was obviously so selfless, and kept suppressing his urge to act , "But why can't I still make our bench really stronger?"

Shi Lei finally threw the basketball in his hand, but that didn't make him calm down. "If none of this can be changed, what's the point of me doing this?"

Shi Lei thinks that he doesn't care about the criticism or praise of the media, but in fact it is very difficult for him not to be influenced by them. The formation of his playing style, on the one hand, comes from the influence of the Spurs he originally played for, and another factor that contributes to this is the media. In their evaluation of those stars.

They have been criticizing Iverson's "independence" and Kobe's "independence", which made Shi Lei subtly think that this is something he should avoid.But is the relationship between the team and the individual really as simple as these people say?

In fact, everything in the world is always easy to say from the mouth, but the strength of the mouth does not mean that it is a giant in reality. In fact, several of those who said these words have really touched basketball What about?The ultimate goal of most people participating in sports competitions is to win, so if there is such a shortcut to victory, why do some people still insist on walking on a detour when they already have enough experience?
Shi Lei ignored these, or this is the biggest shortcoming of his short exposure to professional basketball.The basketball game is not only composed of skills, but Shi Lei does not have a "teacher" in other aspects, he can only comprehend and learn by himself.

Shi Lei was throwing the basketball mechanically. Although his mind was not concentrated, the muscle memory produced by long-term training made his shooting rate more accurate without external interference in this unconscious situation. .

"Hey, morning, Shi!"

The voice from behind did not make Shi Lei come out of his own world.Realizing that his brother was distracted, Pierce walked up to Shi Lei and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, what's up bro?"

"Good morning, Paul!"

Shi Lei shivered, and greeted Pierce reflexively.However, the basketball from his hand bounced off the court with a bang.

"Thinking about a game?"

Pierce ran to the sidelines and snatched the basketball into his hands, turned around and threw the basketball while asking Shi Lei this question.

"Yes, thinking about why we failed!"

Shi Lei shrugged, received Pierce's shot from the other side of the basket and said.

"It's very simple. All the failures can be summed up by two factors. Our strength is not strong enough, or our performance is not good enough. What do you think is our reason?"

"The second type?"

The reason for using the question is that Shi Lei doesn't know whether the answer is correct or not.Are they not strong enough with the "Big Three"?It is definitely a joke to say that, but to say that they are strong, but their bench is hard to convince people.

"Yes, it's just that we didn't play well enough!"

While talking, Pierce walked to the opposite side of Shi Lei and stood still: "Do you remember what I told you? At the bowling alley."

"Of course I do, but Paul, I."

When Shi Lei didn't know what to say, Pierce said what he wanted to say: "Yes, you tried your best, we all know, but Shi, that's not what we want to see, do you know why you say that? ?”

"why?"

"There are countless goals in a person's life. For example, when he feels hungry, he will buy food, he will go to work, and earn enough money to fill his stomach. These can also be reflected in basketball, tell me Shi, what is your purpose in playing basketball?"

"Of course it is victory!"

This sentence blurted out from Shi Lei's mouth, he never forgot his goal.

"But not everyone. Do you know what Eddie's goal is in basketball? Do you know what Tony's goal is in basketball? Do you know what Giddens' goal is in basketball?"

Pierce didn't give Shi Lei a chance to answer his question, but continued: "Eddie's purpose in playing basketball is to get a good stat so that he can have a team willing to give him a contract next season. Tony now wants to A big deal, so he's working really hard, and Giddens is like getting consistent minutes. So man, I ask you, what are they going to choose between their goal and the team's victory?"

Shi Lei opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say, he wanted to ask if their hard work is not equal to victory?But does it really equate to victory?Shi Lei found that he didn't know the answer either.

"So, bro, the victory will only be our own business. It's our team, not theirs. Do you think anyone will be selfless enough to give unreservedly for someone else's business? Yes, there is, But bro, don't expect everyone to be like this, in fact most people are selfish!"

This is a set of theories that Shi Lei has never heard of, but Shi Lei has to admit that what Pierce said makes sense: "Then what do you mean?"

"Yeah man, let's be selfish, we're the ones who win or lose the game, not them!"
