Chapter 56



Stephen could only sit on the sidelines and watch, but he was thinking about the fierce fighting on the field just now. Although it was only a preseason game, it was already much more intense than the NCAA games. Although the tension was not as good as the last few games, but The antagonism far exceeds those games.

After Stephen left the field, the situation of the Spurs became even worse. Popovich didn't see it, or he just watched it like watching a play, neither giving any instructions nor knowing what he was thinking. After a while, Stephen also noticed that, indeed, as Carlesimo said, other teams were more enthusiastic about the game when they faced the Spurs, but the Spurs felt a little slack. I don’t know why. Intentional or not.

The Spurs' defense is indeed very good. No matter who is on the court, they are very active in defense, while the Pacers only have Artest and Stephen Jackson. They defend well when they are on the court. The score was narrowed by the Spurs again, so the score was not opened by the Spurs, and the Spurs have always looked at ease, which also made the Pacers dare not relax. It seems that they are the one behind. It's the championship team, but they have confidence. Stephen's blood is a little bit surging when he sees it below.

In the fourth quarter, Stephen played again, but at this time the teammates around him had been replaced by those players with non-guaranteed contracts, one by one scrambling to express themselves on the court, and did not cooperate with Stephen at all, Stephen naturally I don’t know how to cooperate with them. After getting the ball, I attack it. If I can’t attack it, I just throw it outside. You can’t make a shot anyway. Stephen’s scoring is in double figures very quickly, but the assists are still eight, not at all. Change, but grab another rebound. Popovich saw that Stephen was useless on the court, and he was afraid that their style of play would damage Stephen, so he replaced Stephen.

Although the Spurs still lost the game, Stephen scored [-] points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] blocks in this game. The data is very remarkable, especially when he is on the defensive end. The performance of Artest and Stephen Jackson has won the praise of experts and the media. They all praised this as another treasure that the Spurs picked up at the end of the first round and the second round. Nobili on par.

Just when Stephen was a little complacent, Robert Horry and Brent Barry came to his door and told Stephen, don't take what the experts and the media say seriously. If you perform well today, they will praise you to the sky. It makes you unable to play even if you think about it. If you perform poorly tomorrow, they will say that you are worthless, and they will even say that you are a cancer of the team. So no matter what the media says to you Just ignore it, especially the news that praises you, if it is a criticism, sometimes it still has a certain meaning, but you have to remember that, apart from the players themselves, only the coach has the most say. Don't take what the media says seriously.

The two of them pointed out news related to the Spurs to Stephen. Only then did Stephen notice that he was too busy watching news related to himself just now. Looking at other news, the Spurs have been criticized to the point that they have been criticized. What? Lost the motivation to win the championship, what is the lack of spirit to pursue, what small fights can't win the championship, the Spurs don't have a championship appearance, so they won't win consecutive championships. In short, the Spurs are in their mouths. The team is not as good.

Except for the team, it is to criticize the players. Duncan has no negative criticisms. Most of the criticisms are concentrated on Ginobili and Michael Finley. The criticism of Ginobili is that Ginobili pays too much attention to The national team's game is over, and he doesn't even think about the salary he earns here. Put the team aside, you can say that the World Championships or the Olympics are fine, and the American Championships will also participate in the battle. Injury, who should bear the responsibility.

The criticism of Michael Finley is that he has been unable to dissolve into the team for a long time. As the biggest signing of the Spurs this season, his state is directly related to the team's prospects of winning the championship. Judging from his performance in these few games Looking at it, the Spurs' prospects for winning the championship are worrying.

Seeing this, Stephen felt that what the media said was really unreliable. Why did Finley say that? The team is used to test newcomers, so naturally they won't let him play for a long time. What kind of state can be seen from the game time? These media are really talking nonsense. Thinking of this, and thinking of the self-satisfaction just now, Stephen Immediately, I felt as if I had been insulted. These media boasted that they were purely hurting themselves.

After thanking Robert Horry and Brent Barry for their kindness, Stephen returned to the training ground and began to train conscientiously. Recently, he felt that his shooting percentage had always had a feeling of breaking through, but after the shooting, Stephen went to calculate and found that it was still the same , but in the process of shooting, Stephen felt that when he captured the feeling of how to shoot and how to hit, he could hit many shots in a row, but once he got out of this state, he would miss consecutively. , the result is the original hit rate in the final calculation.

After Stephen told Engelland about this feeling in detail, Engelland told Stephen that this is your shooting feeling, and your task is to find this feeling in the game as quickly as possible through training. At the same time, let this feeling last as long as possible. Once the feeling is interrupted, you must quickly find it, so as to maintain the fiery feeling.

When Stephen brought this feeling out to Robert Horry and Brent Barry, he got different answers. Robert Horry believed that the feeling was just an illusion to deceive himself. The most important thing in shooting is decisiveness and self-confidence. What does it feel like to be superstitious? When you need to shoot, no matter where you stand on the court, no matter who is defending in front of you, even if he is a master, even if he is the best defensive player, you just need to put the ball in your hand. Just throw the ball.

"His theory only applies to lore shots. As a shooter, self-confidence and decisiveness are of course necessary." When it comes to shooting, Brent Barry is not far behind. When it comes to shooting percentage or free throws He far exceeds Robert Horry in terms of shooting percentage or three-point shooting percentage, so he has his own views on shooting.

He also believes that this kind of shooting feeling is undesirable, and there are people who shoot by feeling, but this kind of people are nothing more than that after the feeling comes up, it is not a problem to score a few points after a game, but once they don’t have the feeling , then miss a few shots in a row. This state is only suitable for that kind of All-Star player, because even if he misses, no one will blame him. Normally, shooting should become a habit, regardless of the opponent. How to defend you, you only use a fixed habitual action to shoot, in that case, your hit rate can also be guaranteed.

What Brent Barry said also made some sense. Stephen took this question to Engellander again. Engellander laughed and told Stephen that each of their theories were based on their own situation. Yes, if you want to say that there is no reference value, of course there is, but you have to go out of your own way. Why does Robert Horry think that shooting only needs to be decisive and confident? It is because most of the roles he plays are lore players , and why Brent Barry does not approve of this kind of sensory shooting, it is because he has always been a role player of the team and needs to play steadily. player of.

Engelland believes that with Stephen's talent, it would be too wasteful to be a lore player. If the goal is only to be a role player, it would be too small to underestimate his own potential. Engelland is very fond of Stephen. It is admiration, thinking that Stephen's talent is unmatched, and at the same time, Stephen's seriousness and self-consciousness in training are also unmatched by the Spurs except Duncan. Just for this, Engelland believes that Stephen's future is impossible. Limited, so Engelland's suggestion for Stephen's choice of shooting is sensory shooting.

It is naturally a very happy thing for someone to express affirmation of one's own ability, but Stephen is very distressed about the feeling Engellander said, whenever Stephen deliberately captures it, but always how You can't find that feeling, just when you gave up all hope, but it suddenly came to you again.

The feeling is really elusive. After two days of trying without any progress, Stephen was discouraged. Forget it, just follow what Brent Barry said, shoot with habit, but when Stephen practiced shooting with this idea However, that magical feeling came to Stephen from time to time.

There was even a feeling that Stephen made 56 shots in a row, which was unique in the past. When his body did not become like this, Stephen did not practice for such a long time, nor did he count it, but his body became After this appearance, Stephen has never achieved such a good result.

Such a good result is still produced under the mysterious, mysterious and elusive feeling. After arriving here, Stephen was cruel and ignored this feeling. He first practiced the shooting habit, and then said As for the feeling, I also walk on two legs. When I have a feeling, I use my feeling, and when I don’t feel it, I use my habit.

Just when Stephen was about to show off his skills in the next game, against the New Orleans Hornets in an away game, Stephen didn't even get 1 minute of playing time, and what's more, the team actually won, and It was still a big victory with more than ten points. Ginobili and Michael Finley, who were criticized by the media and experts, had a big explosion together. When the game ended, Popovich looked at the media with contemptuous eyes. Looking over at Xi, Stephen understood a little bit, isn't Popovich slapping those experts and the media who are talking nonsense, but he didn't let them boast about himself, so why should he suffer this innocent disaster?
