Chapter 110: Teachable
It is not easy for ordinary people to receive the education of teachers, and it is not easy to accept it all. And genius, at this time, can draw inferences.
Yi Feng humbly listened to Kobe Bryant's experience and after thinking about it, he said: "Actually, I have a question that has been buried in my heart for a long time. ”
Kobe Bryant looked interested, "Tell me about it." ”
Yi Feng nodded and said: "I think this should be the idea that many superstars have, that is, many times, I shoot by myself, and the score is more certain, if my teammates are not in good shape, even if there are two or three people in the bag, it may be more likely that I will score." ”
"In times like these, do you still choose to trust your teammates?"
Kobe Bryant had a smile on his face, "It seems that we are the same kind of people, in fact, I also had such a question at the beginning." ”
Yi Feng hurriedly asked, "Then how did you solve this problem?" ”
Bryant shook the red wine glass in his hand, and the bright red wine slowly slid down to the bottom of the glass like smooth silk.
"I choose to believe in myself."
"Why did you choose that?"
Yi Feng wanted to know why Kobe Bryant chose such a solution.
"Believing in your teammates means passing the ball to your teammates whenever they have an opportunity and believing that they can take it."
"But you also know that the state of professional players has its ups and downs, and sometimes even if you shoot in an open position, you don't always have to hit every shot. And if you miss a shot in the open position, it is easy to erode the trust between teammates. ”
"Trusting your teammates is when you can pass the ball to your teammates after they miss shots in the open space many times."
"But it's hard, especially for star players who are very attacking and very good. His teammates were constantly wasting chances, and his own offensive ability was not being used. At this time, what will he choose? Do you continue to believe in your teammates, or do you believe in yourself? ”
"It's a tough choice, you need to start from your own point of view, and you need to take a combination of factors before you can make a choice."
"Take myself as an example, although there are a lot of assists, but in fact, those assists are not passed at the crucial moments. The more critical it became, the more I believed in myself. Believe you can throw that damn ball in the hoop! ”
"LeBron, and he might be able to surpass Larry Bird as the best small forward of all time. He chose to trust his teammates at critical moments. He believes his team-mates will be able to take advantage of the opportunities he creates. ”
"Of course, no matter which path you choose, you will face trouble."
Yi Feng knew what the trouble was that Kobe Bryant was talking about.
Bryant chooses to believe in himself in key moments, and if he hits the key ball, then he is a hero and a finisher. And if he doesn't hit the key ball, then he becomes a sinner, and the pot of losing can only be carried by him, and he can't shake it off.
LeBron James chooses to trust his teammates at critical moments, and if his teammates shoot key shots, he naturally has a share of the credit, and he accounts for most of the credit; And if his teammates don't hit the key ball, he is the culprit for the team's loss. LeBron succeeded because of this, and he will be criticized by many people for being stealthy at critical moments, not taking responsibility, etc.
Bryant continued: "No matter which path you choose, it's not easy to follow. It's decided from the moment you become a star. If you're just a role player, who cares if you're trusted by the star players on the team. ”
Rights and obligations are relative. The more rights a star player enjoys, the more obligations he has to bear. And role players are not treated as well as star players, and they naturally have fewer obligations.
Bryant stopped at this point and didn't continue.
Yi Feng was thoughtful.
He said: "Is it this multiple-choice question, there are only two choices?" ”
Bryant was surprised, "What, you still want to make a compromise choice?" Want to believe in yourself and want to believe in your teammates? ”
Yi Feng nodded seriously, "Actually, this is not a conflict, right?" Just because you choose to believe in yourself doesn't mean you can't trust your teammates. ”
Kobe nodded, "There really isn't much conflict between the two, but it's just in normal times." ”
"In a game, you have a lot of time and you can score a dozen points on your own and then pass a few balls to your teammates. In this way, I believe in myself and my teammates. But in fact, at a particular single moment, you can only choose one way. At the last critical moment, you can only choose one way. ”
Yi Feng couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, it seemed that he had thought about the problem too simply......
Suddenly, Kobe Bryant said meaningfully: "Yi, from this way of thinking of yours, I can see a lot of things." ”
"For example, you have difficulty choosing. When you're faced with two things that are the same, and you can only choose one, it's hard to choose. That's when you think, if you can do both, it would be perfect! ”
"On the basketball court, it's obvious that you have an equal distribution of energy on both ends of the floor. Because in your opinion, offense and defense directly determine whether a team wins or loses. With such two important factors, how can it be possible to choose only one of them? ”
"Right?"
Kobe's words directly made Yi Feng speechless.
Because he was directly stabbed to the point!
There are a lot of choices in life, and although it seems cruel, it has to be done.
Many people are reluctant to make such a choice, and they keep putting it off until the end of the day, when they really have no choice before making a decision. This is known as the choice difficulty.
This cannot be dismissed as indecision.
In fact, it may also be considered greedy. Because people don't want to choose one or the other, they want to make both choices. I didn't make a choice for a long time, I just wanted to wait for such an opportunity.
Regarding the distribution of physical strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends on the field, Yi Feng's choice was obviously based on the latter's considerations.
But such a greedy approach is likely to attract backlash.
If you want to make sure you have both options, and you don't have enough strength yourself, the end result will be nothing.
Just like the Lakers lost to the Suns in the last game, a large part of the reason was Yi Feng's choice on the issue of physical distribution.
After these games, Yi Feng's body was hidden in this fatigue that he had never been aware of. He thought that his physical strength was full, but in fact, this fullness was only a superficial phenomenon and a void.
It's not full of physical strength, and the average score is at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, so naturally both sides are not pleased.
And the Suns' two backcourts, Bledsoe and Knight, are not fuel-efficient lamps either. It consumed so much energy on the defensive end that he always felt that something was missing on the offensive end.
In the long run, if Yi Feng continues to play like this, then the Lakers will lose more and more times. Because fatigue accumulates more and more, and without adequate rest and recuperation, Yi Feng's physical reserves can only be depleted little by little.
After a long time, Yi Feng nodded helplessly, "It's all up to you." ”
Kobe Bryant's face was colorful, "I've come over the years, and I'm not just playing. Look at the wrinkles on my face, it's full of life experience. ”
Yi Feng: (⊙o⊙)...
Kobe Bryant looks such a cold person, and he would joke like this. He really has the talent of a smiling man.
Later, Kobe Bryant said: "Although I can't cure your selection difficulties, I can still teach you how to distribute your physical strength reasonably in the game." ”
Finally get to the point!
Yi Feng was excited and listened very seriously.
"My advice to you is to put more energy into attacking."
Kobe Bryant only said one thing, and then he kept silent.
Yi Feng was puzzled, "Why did you give up defense?" Isn't it true that defense leads to a championship? ”
Bryant explained: "I'm not saying you choose offense and give up defense altogether. I'm just asking you to focus more on offense, like attacking with sevens and defending with threes. ”
"Of course, I'm going to make it clear that this advice of mine is only for the regular season."
"The NBA is a business league, and the regular season is a big show. And it is the participation of the whole Union. Unlike the playoffs, where you compete for a championship, you need to give your best to play the playoffs, while playing the regular season is more like participating in a small All-Star game. ”
"Not a lot of people give their best in the regular season, and so do the coaches. Many teams use a few simple tactics in the regular season, and in order to attract more box office and fan markets, the team's tactics are more biased and flashy offense. Because the offense wins the fans. ”
"In the regular season, fans want to see more exciting dunks and gorgeous passes, and those hard-hitting defenses are not so popular on this stage."
Yi Feng nodded, "So you're suggesting I focus more on offense?" ”
"That's just one of the reasons. ”
"You know, our current teammates, we can't say bad, but they can't say good either. If you don't seek change, even if you make the playoffs, you won't be able to go far. ”
"Now the whole team, the offense and defense are too dependent on you, which is not a good sign. If you're not in good shape, or if you're not playing, then the Lakers are hanging in the air if they want to win. ”
"Byron's new defensive system is also very dependent on your athleticism and anticipation. As long as you don't play, his system won't be very useful. And you don't have enough energy to focus on the defensive end. Because you have more important things to do on the offensive end. ”
"In basketball, the side with the most points is the winner, so it's important to attack. If you can only defend and not score, then such a player will never become an All-Star. ”
"Besides, you're the league's temporary leading scorer, do you want to lose that honor for nothing? If you put more effort into defense, then this is bound to reduce your points per game average. Don't tell me you don't want to be the league's leading scorer in your rookie season. ”
Yi Feng's face was full of determination, "I have already said that I want to win the scoring championship this season!" ”
Subsequently, he added: "It's just that I don't want people to say that it's a data brush, I only care about my own data brushing, and I don't take care of the team's record." That's why I will do my best in the game and win every game as much as I can. ”
Kobe Bryant suddenly said, "I think about it, those media seem to have reported on this matter, saying that you are too arrogant or something." ”
"Actually, you don't have to care about what those media say, they are fine all day long, they have to find trouble and pick a bone in your eggs."
"You're the top scorer, and you're not good at scoring, so you'll look for others. If your team's record is not good enough, they will attack in this regard, saying that you have affected the team's record because of the data brush, and bluntly saying that you are a data brush. ”
"Or if you shoot too many times and the shooting percentage is low, they will say that you are a wasteful shot, the offensive efficiency is low, and the high score is piled up by the right to shoot......"
"In short, the media is something without conscience, just don't pay too much attention to it. We play for the fans, or for the owners of the teams who pay us, not for the journalists who are picking on them all day. They won't give us a penny, but they will tell us right and wrong. ”
The media does have the right to guide public opinion, but with the changes of the times and the development of society, in today's network society, they no longer say the same, and people can no longer receive some of the latest information through them.
"Don't care about them, is that really good?"
Yi Feng has his own doubts, "Although the influence of the media is declining, for many people, they are still the most authoritative sources. As long as they hold a position of authority, their credibility remains. ”
Kobe Bryant laughed dumbly, "You say they have credibility?!" ”
Faced with Kobe's sudden laughter, Yi Feng was a little confused.
Bryant laughed and said, "You shouldn't forget, we won five in a row before, and then you were lifted to heaven, but then the next two consecutive defeats, they trampled you to hell again." ”
"And then as you get more and more wonderful performances, they pull you out of hell again."
"So capricious, it's like a fickle villain. With such a media, you say they still have credibility? ”
Yi Feng thought about it, what Kobe Bryant said was a fact that did exist.
Although there is a behind-the-scenes promotion, judging from this series of actions by the media, it is true that their credibility cannot be seen.
As long as you behave well, their praise for you can be bottomless. And once you don't behave well, they feel that they have lost their eyes, and they will be annoyed and angry and belittle you to the end.
Under such an offensive by the media, those who can survive have become real stars. And those guys who are really just a flash in the pan have long been obscure under the pressure of the media.
Perhaps, from another point of view, the existence of the media is a litmus test. What kind of quality do you have, and whether you have the potential to become a star, the media will know as soon as you try it.
Yi Feng took a deep breath and said to Kobe: "Since I don't need to care about these media, then I don't have to think about the team's record all the time on the court?" ”
Bryant said: "Actually, it is the instinct of every professional player to want to win. But in order to win better, sometimes it is extremely necessary to relax. If a string breaks too tightly, it can easily break. ”
"You don't care what the media says, you just have to be yourself. If you play your own offensive level and dominate both offensive and defensive ends at critical moments, then the winning rate of the game will definitely not be low. ”
Yi Feng understood, "In the first three quarters of a game, I put seventy or eighty percent of my energy on offense to ensure that the score does not fall too far behind, and then I can put more physical strength into the final showdown, right?" ”
Kobe nodded, the son can be taught! (To be continued.) )
