Chapter 167: Shock!
Tonight, the Indiana Pacers will be challenged at home, and the Lakers could face a stunner in the final 18 seconds!
The Pacers used up the last timeout of regulation to set up a crucial offense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If the ball is scored, the game is over; If you don't score, then continue to fight in extra time.
Paul George was given the mission to kill the Lakers.
But under the Lakers' forward defense, Paul George missed a good opportunity and missed the ball to the basket, and the game went into overtime.
In overtime, Paul George vented all his frustration about missing the shot, and repeatedly forced the basket to cause fouls. Hibbert became the Lakers' first player to leave the court with six fouls because he was the most active in defense.
I didn't expect Hibbert, who played the most active game tonight, to be so important to the Lakers! After he was sent off, the Lakers' defense seemed to have no last gate, and the Pacers repeatedly hit the basket, relying on the immature Randle and Nance Jr., except for fouls, there was no way to protect the basket!
The game played like this, and the Lakers were completely gone. Although Yi Feng can continue to cause damage on offense, his scoring has become more and more difficult, and he is gradually unable to keep up with the Pacers' scoring efficiency.
The offense was difficult to compete with the Pacers, and in retrospect, they couldn't stop the opponent's attack, and the Lakers finally lost the game cleanly in overtime. It's completely indiscriminate that they have been tough with the Pacers for 48 minutes in regular time.
The final score was 125-117, and the Pacers scored 15 points in overtime to take the victory in one fell swoop. The Lakers only scored 7 points, including 5 points contributed by Yi Feng.
And the first contributor to the Pacers' victory in this game is, of course, Paul George, who scored 41 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.
Although Yi Feng's 42 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists were completely unfamiliar with Paul George, the better performance of his teammates made Paul George win the final victory.
The Pacers picked up their 11th win of the season and improved their record to 11-5 and continue to cement their second-place position in the East. In first place in the East is the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have lost only three of their 17 games; Behind the Pacers is the 10-8 Toronto Raptors.
After losing their last game on the road to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Lakers returned home to continue their losses at home, losing to the visiting Indiana Pacers and snapping a two-game losing streak.
As a result, the Lakers' record has come to 10-6, and the winning percentage has dropped from 100 percent at the beginning of the season to 80 percent and then to 60 percent now. In the West, where there are many strong teams, the record of 10 wins and 6 losses can only be ranked fifth. The top four are: Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, and Oklahoma City Thunder
In fact, the Dallas Mavericks, who are ranked sixth in the West, also have a record of 10 wins and 6 losses, but this season because they were double-killed by the Lakers, they can only be relegated.
Once upon a time, the Lakers briefly climbed to the first place in the West, but now they have slipped to the fifth place in the West.
This seems to confirm the outside world's perception of the Lakers: they had a good record at the beginning, and it was really just luck. As the number of games increases, so does the Lakers' record, which is how close they are to their true strength.
It is foreseeable that they will continue to slip from fifth position.
When the team loses, someone has to take the blame.
Whether it is a victory or a defeat, Yi Feng's performance can't make people too picky. In other words, the team's loss has little to do with his performance. But he is the foundation and key to the team's victory. So Yi Feng doesn't need to carry this pot.
Similarly, although Kobe's performance is not as good as it was back then, as a team leader, whether it is to inspire his teammates in the spirit of love, or to set an example for young people on the court, he has done a good job. He is not the object of the blame.
Clarkson, Randall and the like are not qualified to take the blame. So the pot naturally fell on the head coach Scott.
Scott doesn't have any qualifications, no impressive tactics, and no way to build a mature team system. The current Lakers, although no longer like the Lakers this season, are a mess, with players working in silos, and it is difficult to be integrated into a whole; But in fact, it is not much better, the reason why the current Lakers team gives people the impression of "rising rapidly" is because the team's record is there to support the façade.
And with the decline of the record, the glamorous appearance gradually lost its color, and it gradually became impossible to hide the holes under those beautiful appearances.
Originally, the Lakers' top management signed Scott to let him lead young people during the Lakers' rebuilding period, so that they would have more opportunities to grow. But after the Lakers traded to Yifeng this summer, the pace of rebuilding is moving fast, and it seems that the rebuilding has almost been completed all at once!
So Scott, the coach, seems not so appropriate.
Although it is a derogatory term, human beings inevitably have such a mentality. A success is in front of you, you want to run a marathon of dozens of kilometers, and then get it; Or do you want to do it overnight and come straight to it?
If there is really such a choice, I believe that as long as you are a normal person, you will not choose the first option.
With Yi Feng, the Lakers have a mature super team building cornerstone, and then as long as some adjustments are made, then the rebuild will be completely completed!
In other words, this season, the Lakers may be able to produce results!
In that case, why wait a long time? The top management wants to see the results immediately, and the fans don't want the team they support is a weak team that can be slaughtered.
With such a mentality, there are many voices of dissatisfaction with Scott. There are even some extreme voices, clamoring for him to get out of class.
There are undercurrents surging, and perhaps before long, there will be a super tsunami.
The day after the Lakers' two-game losing streak, the players were mentally prepared and ready to face those doubts. But they found that not many people really paid attention to the Lakers' losing streak -
Because they were all attracted by the peachy news that happened to one party!
People have always been very interested in the gossip and scandals of celebrities.
Why are humans so interested in gossip, and even scientists have studied it.
Eating chocolate when you're anxious can make you happy because chocolate stimulates the secretion of endorphins in the brain. According to some scientists, gossip also has this effect: chatting about gossip appropriately can relieve psychological stress and benefit physical and mental health.
Psychologist Dr. Baker has found through a lot of research that when gossiping about others and watching entertainment news, people's brain cells will be actively mobilized to stimulate the human brain to secrete endorphins.
Endorphins are a morphine-like biochemical released by the human brain, which has the effect of anesthesia and excitement, so it is also often called the "opiate" naturally produced by the human body, which is used to help reduce stress, relieve pain, and at the same time produce a sense of happiness and joy.
Not only from a scientific point of view, it can explain the universal love of human beings, but also from other perspectives such as sociology and psychology.
The contact between people is divided into different levels and different distances, and chatting gossip is just at the middle level, which is a fairly safe way to contact, without exposing yourself too much, not having to be very intimate, and promoting the relationship between the two parties by sharing third-party information to meet people's certain psychological needs. There are about five of these needs:
First, create a topic and add a sense of intimacy.
Anthropologist Christopher Behm proposes that "small talk" is a way to promote group unity, sharing information with each other, indicating that everyone is in the same "circle", creating a common topic for two seemingly unrelated people, which is conducive to shortening the interpersonal distance, and can also form a kind of "psychological contract" to make everyone become friends.
Second, relax your mind and release stress.
A study from the University of Michigan in the United States found that people who gossip a lot have a significantly higher happiness index than people who are taciturn. In the face of life's pressures and setbacks, appropriately expressing dissatisfaction and complaints can release negative emotions and relieve inner anxiety. Gossip is also a kind of language expression that does not need to pay attention to logic, unlike making a report, and it does not have to be responsible, and there is no burden of thinking.
Third, find a sense of superiority. Eight
The essence of the hexagram is "I know about it, but you don't know", and what lies behind it is the gossiper's sense of superiority, and the acquisition of superiority will stimulate the gossip to gossip endlessly.
Fourth, schadenfreude strengthens self-identity.
According to scholar Van Dyck, "When self-esteem is low, people do everything they can to please themselves, and they gloat when they see someone in trouble." If you help these people to increase their self-affirmation, they will be less gloating and will no longer need to find self-identity in the misfortunes of others. "Schadenfreude during gossip is a kind of self-affirmation when people feel "threatened" by others, so as to alleviate their own feelings of envy or jealousy and increase their positive evaluation of themselves.
Fifth, subconsciously we all desire to have someone else go through pain instead of ourselves.
Psychologist John Mendel argues that people subconsciously desire others to experience pain instead of themselves, and that people who pay attention to scandals and negative news are in some ways trying to fulfill this desire. When many people get together and gossip becomes a collective act, individual guilt also diminishes.
People already like gossip, and with such a major entertainment news happening to Yi Feng, everyone naturally won't miss it.
As a perfect man who only appears in comics, Yi Feng's existence is an outlier. So when he became a public figure, the number of fans skyrocketed, and most of them were female fans. The instinct of the opposite sex attracts each other, and the perfection that does not allow you to reject Yi Feng is not allowed.
People love fantasy, and Yi Feng is so perfect that he must have existed more than once in the fantasy world of many people. And at this time, Yi Feng's role, except for Prince Charming, will have no other.
can prefer the good one, and suddenly the news that Yi Feng has a girlfriend was exposed! This made many female fans very angry, because Prince Charming, who belonged to them alone, had been taken away!
Therefore, the appeal that Yi Feng has made has no effect at all. Fans spontaneously dug up Tang Ya's life, and they wanted to know what kind of person was qualified and capable of snatching their Prince Charming.
The power of fans is huge, and the power of angry fans is even more terrifying.
But with the exposure of Tang Ya's identity, it helped the turbulence of this wave.
Tang Ya herself, excellent is excellent, but it is not enough to shock. But her identity as the eldest daughter of the president of a Fortune 500 company surprised the world.
Isn't this a proper daughter of a wealthy family?
Born noble.,And I'm very good.,It seems that it's a woman who can only be found from comics.。 It seems that she and Yi Feng are very compatible......
This is also what makes Yi Feng's large number of female fans unhappy, Tang Ya's perfection makes them so desperate that they can't be jealous. Although the two are a match made in heaven, unwilling fans don't want to see the combination of this golden boy and girl.
Maybe it's subconsciously, you can't see others.
As a result, there are many people who support Dakota Fanning to dig the foot of the wall!
What a surprise! As a genuine girlfriend, Tang Ya didn't get much support from many people, but Dakota Fanning, who is not a junior, because in front of many of them, bravely said what she loved in her heart and confessed to Yi Feng, but won absolute support!
Perhaps there is some hatred towards the wealthy. Although everyone's life is getting better and better, the rich own only a small number of people, and the vast majority of the people, and the assets are far from these rich people.
Tang Ya's family is in the middle of this small rich class; Dakota Fanning, on the other hand, is a girl from an ordinary family, and she is more supported by the people than Tang Ya.
Moreover, Yi Feng's fans also believe that he should not "marry into a wealthy family", and his background is more compatible with Dakota Fanning. They hope that Dakota Fanning can incarnate Miyue, kill Tang Ya, and become the mother of the main palace.
The world has never had a positive attitude towards the third party. Destroying other people's families and destroying other people's happiness, the third party completely exists as a saboteur.
But for Dakota Fanning, a brave third person, people did not spurn her, but encouraged her to pursue her own happiness!
Of course, this is selfishness.
If there really is a third party who comes to destroy the happiness that belongs to them, then this third party will definitely not be welcomed by them. But now Dakota Fanning is going to pry Tang Ya's corner, to free Yi Feng from the state of having a girlfriend, and let him return to his single state, that is, to become a prince charming who belongs to thousands of female fans again, so although Dakota Fanning is a third party, she has been supported by so many people.
