Chapter 542: On Emotional Intelligence
"Rhythm! Strength! Come on! Come on! ”
Frank's voice echoed over the training pitch like a bell, and his heartfelt slogans urged everyone in the room, and no one was exempt.
Frank is a head coach who is very good at team building, and he also got inspiration from Xu Xuan's training during this time, and it may be helpful to strengthen the training intensity appropriately.
That's why there is such a thing today.
"Ingram doesn't want to be seen by the fans because they're going to boo! You also won't want to be seen by your dad because he'll kick you in the ass! ”
"Russell! Isn't that funny? I'll make sure you won't be able to laugh in fifteen minutes! ”
"Atai! Rhythm! Keep up with the pace! Why, you eat too much every day, and now your stomach can't take it back! Covered in fat and expecting the team to pay for your useless fat? Daydreaming! Keep up the pace! Come on! You can keep going! Get mobilized! God hell! Get mobilized! ”
"Easy Jane Lian! Watch the action! The action is in place! Keep your hands and knees vertical! Are you kidding me? Don't let me watch you train alone! I don't have time to waste on stupid people! ”
"Barnes! Rhythm! Don't be lazy! You can keep up! Rhythm! ”
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Rhythm! This is the first item of training, what happened to all of you? Aren't you the high-minded, talented players in the professional league? What's going on now? Even college students are able to persevere in training, but you are already weak? ”
"Isn't it okay?"
"Ahh Are you men? Or have all of them lost their courage and courage? I'm facing a women's basketball team right now? Yes! ”
"If that's the case, make a little noise and I'll stop training immediately!"
......
There are not many people who can survive, and even if they do, the whole person is like a dead dog.
Little Wharton came to the side worriedly, "Coach, let's do this, what about the night game?" Their condition is not so easy to recover. ”
"Luke, you don't understand." Frank shook his finger and said solemnly: "Now for us, the important thing is not to win, but to condense that spirit, we must take this opportunity to condense the spirit and momentum, otherwise even if we win one or two more games, it will still be a mess in the playoffs." ”
The Lakers are a team with a big background, but this background will not be the killer feature of the current Purple and Gold.
Because they're so young, from top to bottom, it's almost a whole new combination, and there's no veteran who can hold them back.
It's a young team, it's a new and dynamic team.
But it's because they're young, they're full of energy, and it's good that the game goes smoothly, and once they get caught in a tug-of-war, a scorching battle, they will be torn to pieces by experienced enemies!
Therefore, Frank wants to take advantage of the momentum that has not been broken up and condense the spirit of this young team.
In contrast, losing the game can only be said to be a necessary trade-off.
"Rhythm! Rhythm! Keep up the pace! ”
The harsh and tough training command lingered in his ears, and Xu Xuan was all too familiar with it; Moreover, he also knows that this is only the beginning, and the coach's means and intensity are far more than that, and a little slack may not be able to keep up.
It seems that the high-intensity training is unkind, but in fact, Frank has repeatedly discussed with Xu Xuan to ensure that the training intensity can challenge the limit little by little, but not to reach the nightmare level and cause unnecessary injuries? Or maybe it's beyond the load range of the player's seniority.
It's not easy, but it's exactly what Frank and Xu Xuan can resonate with: scientific and systematic training.
At this point? The group of professional players around Xu Xuan are absolutely top-notch in terms of physical talent, but after many years of playing in the professional arena, their mentality will inevitably change, whether they are proud or arrogant? Or maybe let your guard down, gradually? A lot of players are starting to train at a lower intensity – and this is still the case for injuries and age.
Basic training has gone through two phases of intensity change? More than half of the players are already lying on the ground on the training ground? Panting like a cow.
Frank shook his head? Look at Xu Xuan? Directly announce the break and disband.
He wasn't ready to eat fat in one go.
Kexue training? Why Kexue Training?
It is to pay attention to a step-by-step process.
Compared to taking over? Obviously, the process is a little more important, because the essence and spirit are condensed in this process.
Of all the players in the field? Xu Xuan is the only player who has spare energy, isn't it because his physical fitness is better than others? Is it because he understands that Frank's training plan is not over yet, and he needs to allocate his physical strength reasonably? Train strategically like a marathon? In this way, you can maximize the effect of your training.
Scrupulous. All eyes and ears.
Xu Xuan began to enjoy the training instead.
And this scene is simply impossible to look at in the eyes of other Lakers players.
This hanging man is outrageous!
They are all tired like this dog, Xu Xuan can still enjoy it?
I now seriously doubt that Xu Xuan's body is equipped with a machine that will never stop, otherwise, it is impossible for a person to be perverted to this extent...... Everyone on the Lakers complained in their hearts.
"It works pretty well." As he eats lunch, Frank has a relaxed expression.
Every team in the NBA has a training camp before the start of the season to get players back on track after the offseason's indulgences, and once the regular season begins, the amount of training is drastically reduced.
After all, at the beginning of the regular season, there are too many things, and everything will affect the energy of the players.
In such a state, if you increase the intensity of training, it is likely to have the opposite effect.
Frank didn't understand this, but he did it for two reasons.
One is that as just said, spirit is obviously more important to the Lakers than winning or losing.
The second is because the Lakers are a young team, their players are more energetic, and their leader is called Xu Xuan!
What they can do and what the upper limit is is determined by their leader, and with Xu Xuan's training in front, this group of young men will involuntarily regard Xu Xuan as their role model.
The power of role models is endless, and it can definitely bring out the latent power in them.
"That night's game is probably going to be gone." Little Wharton smiled wryly.
"If it's gone, it's gone." Frank said without hesitation.
Ever since he made up his mind, he had already thought about the consequences.
They are now 20-2 and sit first in the league, followed by the Golden State Warriors with a current record of 17-3.
Even if the Lakers lose tonight and the Warriors win (and the Warriors also have a game tonight), they're still top in the league.
They also have a win gap over the Warriors.
The Cavaliers are now even further behind, only 13-5, and even the Spurs' record (16-4) is not as good, and they have fallen from the second tier to the third tier.
So, Frank wasn't worried at all.
If you lose, you lose, and if you lose, we are also the first in the league!
......
In the evening game, the Lakers' opponent was the Utah Jazz.
Many people say that the Utah Jazz are strong this season, but in fact, they have not changed much this season, and the free market has only scratched the surface of signing "former Hawk King" Joe Johnson.
Johnson, who just turned 35, played for the Nets and the Heat last season, and signed with the Heat for 410,000 after being bought out by the Nets in February this year, averaging 13.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in 24 games with the Heat, shooting 51.8% from the field. The Jazz will be the sixth team he has played for in his career.
Johnson was a seven-time All-Star and averaged 25 points per game in his peak season. In 2010, he signed a six-year, $128 million contract with the Hawks, becoming the highest-paid player at the time. But he didn't stay the "Hawk King" for long with the Hawks, and was traded to the Nets in 2012. The Nets' so-called "supership" did not succeed, and Johnson was eventually abandoned. Last season, he earned a whopping $23.18 million in annual salary with the Nets, second only to Kobe Bryant among all players in the league.
Now Johnson's market price has finally returned to a "normal" number, and the annual salary of 11 million is very suitable for this veteran who can still play.
The last time the Jazz broke into the playoffs was back in the 2011-12 season, and in today's small-ball environment, the Jazz's style of play has simply become a clear stream, and head coach Quin Schneider still emphasizes the use of airtight physical confrontation to maintain the team's defensive performance, and they use a turtle-fast offensive rhythm to suppress the opponent's offensive rounds, just like the predator Pistons at the beginning of the century, which makes them a defensive winning team, and they have now replaced the Memphis Grizzlies. Become recognized as the league's No. 1 defensive powerhouse!
So the Jazz's purpose in signing singles Joe is self-evident, using his very rich experience to develop young players on the team, and his scoring ability will also bring a lot of help to the team's backcourt and bench.
That's why, when the Lakers' Pelinka phone call was interrupted, the Jazz still didn't agree to trade Joe, they needed the Hawks.
But it's hard to say, the Lakers' first choice at that time was Joe Johnson, but it was Barnes who got it, and it was considered to be the end of the East.
There is really no suspense in this game, the Jazz are the old turtle style of the scoundrel, this is the second time the two teams have met, but the result is completely different from the first.
The final score was 107-98, and the Lakers did not score more than 100 points in the whole game.
"Gobert played well in this game, shooting 4-of-7, 14 points, 17 rebounds, and 7 blocks! The performance was too good. Kenny Smith was amazed by Gobert.
It was also Gobert who really played this game, scoring double-doubles at the same time, not only got 17 rebounds but also got 7 blocks!
That's 7 blocks, it's a wall, whoever comes, who dies!
"Gobert's defensive ability, tsk, it's really enjoyable to watch." Barkley shook his head and said: "It would be nice if he was on a team with Xu Xuan, with such a person standing on the inside, Xu Xuan would be much more comfortable playing on the outside, and he would definitely score more points." ”
Gobert's inside line is still a great help to the outside line, and Barkley is already wondering if Gobert has a chance to team up with Xu Xuan.
With this 14+17+5 statistic, Gobert became a well-deserved MVP of the game.
That's when the live interview began.
"Rudy, congratulations on completing 14+17+5, congratulations on your victory, so do you think today is your normal performance?" A reporter asked.
"The Lakers didn't trap me, they didn't cut me, the defense didn't come up with intensity, and their center wasn't a threat to me, which is why I scored more. If they had picked me up at the beginning, it might have been different today. ”
Goebel said modestly.
"Will you lose?" The reporter asked.
"Yes, I'm going to take them out and make them really lose this fight." Goebel laughed.
"Haha......" the reporters laughed.
"Do you think the Lakers didn't lose this game?" Another reporter asked.
"No, what I'm saying is that Xu Xuan didn't lose." Gobert waved his hand and retorted: "Personally, we only have a few matchups, which is not a real contest, so we can't talk about real wins and losses." For the Lakers, it was just an inconsequential regular season, and they didn't go all out, especially Xu Xuan, who didn't attack much, and didn't reach his average number of shots per game, which I know. I know what he's capable of, he led the team to a championship last year, he was amazingly efficient offensively, he played horrible numbers, and I don't think he showed half of his strength tonight. ”
Goebel Road is wider...... This emotional intelligence gives you a round of applause......
"Xu Xuan scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in this game, your performance is better than him, do you think your strength has surpassed him?" A reporter asked.
"As I said earlier, he may not have taken out half of his strength, and this data doesn't say anything. As for the strength between us...... I'm a center, and I'm a center, and I've played a lot of supergiants in so many games, and these guys I've met haven't played to their full strength, and I hope to meet them again in the playoffs. Goebel said.
"Besides, is Xu Xuan's data very poor? I remember his 26 points was a game-high score, right? Gordon, how many points did you score? At this time, Gobert happened to see Hayward walking in front of him after the interview.
"Me?" Hayward touched his nose: "23 points." ”
"Now, look." Gobert spread his hands: "Gordon didn't score as much as Xu Xuan, it's just that he didn't go all out in this game." ”
