Chapter 151: Heart-to-Heart Talk
Back at Oakland's home court, the Warriors' next opponent is the Orlando Magic, and then back-to-back home games against the Celtics, two strong teams in the East with a full lineup and momentum.
Losing too much, Zhou Xuan was in a bad mood. He felt that he was playing badly, and his statistics were on the rise, but he couldn't help the team win, and he suspected that he was also a "data brush".
The Warriors seem to have some meaning of "bullying the soft and afraid of the hard", the game against the weak team can be won, but when it meets the strong team, it is more than the loss and the less win, he has analyzed the Magic and the Celtics lineup, if the Warriors want to win, unless they play their best, these two teams can make some mistakes, but mature strong teams rarely make mistakes.
At night, Zhou Xuan dreamed of playing magic, it felt like walking in the desert, he couldn't move his legs, and the defensive end let Nelson, who was only 180CM tall, pass over again and again, and the offense couldn't get rid of Bogans and Courtney Lee, and he couldn't shoot the ball until he woke up.
In the morning he eats a sandwich, makes a cup of coffee, turns on his computer, and starts browsing today's sports news. After a while, a text message came up on the phone, with only a short sentence on it: "Are you up?" ”
The text message was sent by Nie Yuyan, if Zhou Xuan didn't get up and didn't reply, she wouldn't ask anymore and let him have a good rest.
Zhou Xuan immediately replied: "I'm up." ”
Nie Yuyan immediately called and said, "I'll go to you in a while and wait for me." ”
After a while, Nie Yuyan arrived, Zhou Xuan welcomed her into the house, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to class today?" ”
"Skipped class. It's rare for you to have a holiday, and you will be disappointed if I go to class again, right? You may not say it, but I know you're going to be disappointed. Nie Yuyan said with a smile.
"yes, I'd love to have someone with me right now."
"Because of losing?"
"Hmm."
Nie Yuyan stood behind Zhou Xuan, massaged his shoulder, and said lightly: "The pressure you put on yourself is too great, in fact, you are already very good, the two generals are injured, and it is understandable to lose." ”
"I know that I am more depressed because I am not strong enough, I can play good statistics, but I can't lead the team to win, and I am not the one who stands up and scores at critical moments. Now we're getting worse and it's still a long time before Stephen comes back, so if I don't make the playoffs, I'm going to have a big responsibility. Zhou Xuan sighed.
He hoped that he would keep his word and promise Nelson Sr. that when Jackson was out for surgery, he would have the confidence to make the playoffs, but now he really thinks too simply. The competition in the west is so fierce, losing a few games, the ranking will change, and it is not enough to maintain half the winning rate.
The next opponents are very strong, even if he studies psychology and can be his own psychiatrist, he can't put aside these pressures.
Nie Yuyan said lightly: "I just hope you don't push yourself too much." These responsibilities should be borne by the veteran players, and they may be able to figure out how to do it. ”
"No way, Madi? Collins is terrible, there is only one Azubuke who can play up front now, he is also at a height disadvantage, he was a rookie that year, and we lack someone who can defend on the team, unless Margeti returns, it will be difficult to win against the strong team. You know that I have a special mind, and I said that there is no way, the probability that other people can come up with a solution is too low. Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
He has a good mind, not only can see his own strengths, but also can see the shortcomings, as long as the opposing head coach is not stupid, arrange the lineup to attack the weaknesses can win. Nelson Sr., no matter how powerful he is, can't greatly improve the individual ability of the players, especially the defense of Morrow and Randolph.
In fact, Zhou Xuan's defense is relatively tight, but he can only prevent the guard from breaking through, the opponent is misplaced to attack, or he is difficult to defend in front of him. And if the opponent wants to pass Moreau, as long as it is a powerful No. 2 position, he can be left behind by changing direction or turning around.
"I can't help you with playing, but I can help you cook." Nie Yuyan said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're with me and listen to me. You can calm my mind. Zhou Xuan held her hand, kissed her lightly on the face, and smiled: "Thank you, thank you." ”
Nie Yuyan often makes his heart pound. But kissing the cheek is already his boldest move so far. has no experience in love, and he is afraid that his appearance will be disgusting.
Nie Yuyan blushed for a long time before she spoke, looking at the QQ software hanging on his computer, there were not many friends in it, and the more conspicuous names were Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and she changed the topic and said, "Do you often chat with them?" ”
"Occasionally, Yi Jianlian doesn't talk much, and his performance in the Nets is also very bad, so he can't give me any advice. Yao Ming has been more depressed than me lately, and Maddie has driven him crazy. A top-five high-paid person in the league, with a shooting percentage of more than 30%, and a large number of shots, and no defense, is really terrible. Zhou Xuan paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I also often chat with my mother, and I bought a computer at home, and now I have contact with them." ”
You can also use Chinese software abroad, just download one by hanging a proxy server. Otherwise, you can only type English characters when you go abroad, which will be troublesome. Zhou Xuan didn't play much with the computer before, but now he can practice typing very quickly.
"Let's talk about something else, you don't know much about basketball, and I also have a bit of a break to talk about work."
"Okay."
"Tell me about you? How have you been at school lately, and are there any things you'd like to do? For example, watching a movie, going to a good restaurant, going to the beach, or going to the playground, etc., we can go together when this hellish schedule is over. ”
Zhou Xuan said very naturally, a few proposed movies are often watched, boring. It's better to go to a restaurant to eat than to do it yourself, and the weather is not suitable for going to the beach, and the only thing you can choose is the playground, which is a psychological suggestion.
Nie Yuyan didn't think about it and said: "It's good to go to the playground, we haven't been to it together, the last time we went to the playground together was when I was a child." ”
"Then we'll go to the playground next time." Zhou Xuan said with a smile. The plan provided by Azubuke can be implemented. He wanted to bring the relationship between the two closer in a more romantic way.
Nie Yuyan talked about the recent events in the school, Jim, who pestered her before? Lacob was expelled from school. The reason was that someone on the football team laughed at him for apologizing in public, saying that he was a bastard. He got into a fight with his teammates and broke the bridge of the man's nose with a punch. The school had heard that Jim had a bad personality and decided to expel him, and there was no one in the school to speak for him.
"The fuse was the party that day, and I think he must hate you." Nie Yuyan sighed lightly.
"It's useless to hate it, now Mitchell still has that recording, it's just some provocations, he is honest and has nothing to do, if he does something out of the ordinary, it will immediately become evidence, he doesn't dare to touch us."
"But his father has been to the school, learned the ins and outs, seems to be very supportive of Jim, I heard that his family is very powerful, is it okay?"
"You don't hire a killer, do you?" Zhou Xuan didn't take it seriously at all. The owner of a large company, with many industries under his control, can't get along with him as a small player, it seems unlikely.
Zhou Xuan didn't know what to say, Jim's father was a die-hard fan, and every time the Warriors were at home, he sat in the front row to watch them play, and Joey? Lacob loved his son very much, even though Jim was not a good man.
At noon, Nie Yuyan cooked, and the two had just finished eating, and Jackson called.
After losing many games in a row, Jackson was also a little out of breath. "Zhou, I know that the next two games will be difficult to win, I hope you can shoot more and practice your attacking ability, we are short of scorers now, if you can play it is very important. This is my personal advice to you, it's okay to lose to a strong team, you have to win a team outside of the playoffs. ”
"I will do my best, you can recuperate with peace of mind, how many shots you take, it depends on how the coach arranges."
"I think Donald will reuse you, too." Jackson sighed.
Zhou Xuan's appearance triggered a series of butterfly effects. Without him, Jackson might not have had surgery, Randolph wouldn't have come to the Warriors, and Biedrins' stats would certainly be better than the current nine. 6 points 9. 5 rebounds are beautiful, in order to strengthen the guard line, the person who comes to the Warriors and Harrington exchange will be Jamal? Crawford too.
Zhou Xuan felt that he was not strong enough, but many people had already regarded him as the hope of the team.
If Jackson doesn't have surgery, he will lead the team to cooperate with Randolph, and he will not have the confidence to do better than Zhou Xuan, at most, he will rely on the height advantage of the organization forward to shoot more dry shots, and exchange high shots for high scores. In terms of tandem teams, Jackson thinks he can't compare to Zhou Xuan. Even if they can't make a breakthrough in the playoffs this season, Jackson thinks it's worth it, and they have a bright future ahead of them next season.
Zhou Xuan only takes it as good news, the feel of star players is raised by a large number of shots, Durant, Paul, Kobe and others are like this, when they first entered the league, the shooting rate was more than forty percent, and if they shot more, their confidence came. He talked to Nelson Sr. as he got ready for training, and asked for advice. He has long realized that players who only pass the ball and do not shoot have no future, but the coach does not let go, he does not dare to try too many attacks, if he takes more than 20 shots, it may affect the unity of the locker room.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Xuan had a smile on his face, and Nie Yuyan asked, "Is there anything happy about it?" ”
"Jackson didn't blame me for not being able to help the team win, but encouraged me, which is a good thing. Do you still want to watch the last two shows? Maybe we'll be miserable. ”
"Go, I bought a season ticket."
If you lose, you lose, Zhou Xuan plans to take out all the offensive momentum in high school, the last time the team lost the magic very happily, even if he still loses this time, he wants to let Nelson taste it. Although this 180CM defender is quite strong, he is not afraid, and he didn't suffer a loss last time.
After staying at home for an afternoon, Nie Yuyan insisted on making dinner again, acting like a full-time wife, Zhou Xuan felt very happy, if the two went further, it should be better if they lived together, and when the game was over, just ask her opinion.
