I got up early the next day, and I came to the Staples Arena early as before for basketball training, and this training habit is very important for me to maintain, because if there is a time when I indulge myself and don't train, then it is quite a huge change for me, and I don't want to develop a bad habit for myself, because habits are developed slowly, once you develop a bad habit, If you want to correct it later, it will take a lot of effort.

At this point, I was ready to stick to this habit, and I did, when I tried to stick to one thing, no matter what the result would be, it would be a new beginning for me, a better result.

I spent most of the rest of my time in the Staples arena, and while it wasn't easy at times, it wasn't that bad for me at this point.

I went into practice in the morning and then I would train for a long, long time, and it was so long that I should say that from morning to night, I was doing this kind of shooting and basic skills that seemed very boring.

But on the basketball court, these seemingly very basic and very basic repetitive training can indeed often help you the most, in fact, talent is a difficult thing to say, from a certain moment I even realized that in fact, hard work itself is a talent, not everyone has strong self-control, and there is no way to let them follow a direction for a long time to work hard, so in this case your effort is actually a talent for yourself.

Talent is not only your physical fitness, not only your mind, not only your ability to learn, but also your mental quality, in fact, it is also a part of talent, and if you ignore this part, you may be very tested, because in fact, no one should ignore these problems.

Jessica continued to read the diary at home, of course, I also wanted to spend more time with her, but I know that the most important thing for me is still to play well, because basketball is my most important and basic foundation, only after I play basketball well, other things will become simpler, a person's life always needs to have some key directions, and now for me this is a more important direction.

Today's training is still the same for me, I will first warm up my body, and then I will work on all aspects of basketball fundamentals, but I will still omit some of them here and focus on the next games.

Today's game is still on the home court of our Lakers, the opponent is the Minnesota Timberwolves, this team is actually not very strong, after all, although they have two future All-Star level players in the team, Garnett and Marbury, but after all, they are still one or two years old rookies, no matter how strong the rookies of this era are, in fact, the strength of the two rookies of 95 and 96 is very strong.

After the game started, I found that the wolf king Garnett didn't seem to choose to match with Shaq, of course, he definitely won't go to the opposite position with Shaq, I heard that he deliberately reported that he was a few centimeters shorter when reporting his height, in fact, his real height is about the same height as Shaq, the reason why he reported short is actually to let him not play the center position, in fact, the wolf king does look thin enough, with his current body type, it seems that there is really no way to carry an inside giant like Shaq, So from this point of view, the choice of the wolf king Garnett is actually very wise.

He is actually quite alternative in this era, but in the future he will become a template for a very versatile interior player, but this era is still the era dominated by the four centers, and it has not yet reached the era when he Garnett is the king, of course, even Garnett only showed his personal strength later, and was not able to lead the Timberwolves to achieve any particularly high achievements, of course, this is also because the strength of the Timberwolves itself is still limited.

Of course, it is actually related to the Wolves' own reasons, because he later signed a sky-high contract of 100 million yuan, which caused Marbury to be dissatisfied and left, which is really a bit like Shaq being dissatisfied with Hardaway's contract and leaving, but overall Garnett's strength is definitely stronger than Marbury's, of course, the Timberwolves are not a loss, but they are definitely not profitable, because if Marbury still stays in the Timberwolves, the result may not be like that.

Many times things are like this, when each of us faces a choice, we often can't see the long-term, we can only think about our immediate choices and ideas, after all, everyone does not have three eyes, and there is no way to predict the future, so it is inevitable that there will be some problems in the choice, these are the weaknesses of human nature, and everyone is likely to have problems in their own lives.

So in fact, each of us is not qualified to deliberately blame others for what their choices look like, each of us will make the most beneficial choices for ourselves, and many times we do not know what the consequences of these choices may lead to, if each of us thinks too much, we will lose something in life, after all, each of us is not a saint, after all, it is possible to make mistakes, and we should always have some qualifications to obtain the forgiveness of others.

After the game started, Shaq still got the basketball in his hand very easily, this time he handed the basketball to me first, at this time Shaq actually has more trust in my strength, which is also the reward of my efforts for so long, for me if I can get the trust of every teammate, it is naturally a very good thing.

In the following game, I broke out first, rushing into the Timberwolves' interior is a split, Wolves King Garnett wanted to rush over to defend me, but obviously he underestimated my speed and explosiveness, and perhaps the most important point was to underestimate my determination, when I was very determined, he couldn't cover me head-on, and it was for this reason that I worked very hard to impact.

When you play, especially when you have to impact the inside line defended by a player with a strong ability to protect the frame, you have to be more resolute, because if you don't show so resoluteness, you can't really deter the opponent, if you can't do this, your strength will not be able to really show perfectly, this is a psychological factor, but in the actual game these situations will be reflected.

The Timberwolves were going to fight back against us, but their offensive focus didn't seem to be very clear, Marbury's style of play was a bit unique, and he liked to highlight his importance in the team in various ways, but while he could make himself look good in one way, it could also make his teammates a little less like him in another way.

Although this situation is not so problematic at the beginning, many times after a certain level of play, if you can't trust your teammates, then you can't really find a way to solve this internal conflict, and your team will stagnate, and it will be difficult to reach a higher level.

This level is really not so easy for many teams to achieve, it takes a process, in this process they need to make some kind of compromise with each other, and this compromise really requires them to put in some necessary effort.

Garnett and Marbury were a little bit separated from each other in this game, and I can see that they don't work together so well, maybe from the first time they worked together, there were contradictions between them, and even many times they didn't seem to have as much of a conflict between the two sides as the conflict between me and Shaq, but it would cause more trouble.

Even though there was a certain contradiction between me and Shaq, we were still going to try to do our best on the court and prove to each other that we were the better players, and the relationship between Garnett and Marbury, the lone wolf, seemed to be two parallel lines, and they didn't seem to have much communication with each other, so they couldn't have some kind of chemistry.

The importance of this chemistry in a team is sometimes unbelievably great, and many times the players or the team's management are not aware of it.

In fact, a very important point is actually because in such a team as a whole, there is a chemical reaction that is not very good, so that there is no way to form a more harmonious and reasonable relationship between players.

It's not necessarily a very fixed relationship, it can be a lot of different situations where players can build a completely different team culture with each other, and those team cultures, when established, can have a huge impact on both the pitch and off the pitch.

Our Lakers team performed much better than the Timberwolves today, first of all, our team players are far faster than the Timberwolves in terms of entering the state, I don't know why, maybe it's because this is our Lakers' home after all, as an away team, the Timberwolves seem a little listless after coming up.

The competitive form they are showing against us who are stronger than them will only lead to one result, which is a heavy defeat, of course, the game has just begun, and it may be a little early to say this, but after so many regular season games this season, I have also found a lot of signs, and from these signs I can really see some influence on the direction of the whole game.

Experience is sometimes so useful, or experience can really make us make the right judgment a lot of times, at this time at the beginning of the game I have found some major flaw or weakness of the Timberwolves, and then what we need to do is to seize this weakness of the Timberwolves, and then launch a crazy attack, and then win this game, it's that simple, I've forgotten how many consecutive wins this is our Lakers, But for us, this winning streak is really meaningful.

If we continue to win a few games in a row, we may already have a chance to hit the top spot in the league, and we will continue to win, and I believe that our Lakers have that quality this season.

After Shaq left the game, the Lakers also replaced the backup center, and the Lakers' backup center's personal strength is a bit different from Shak's, in fact, not only his personal ability is not good

, even his psychological quality is not good, probably because of the usual playing time, once on the field, it is difficult to quickly enter the game state, the whole game is like an alternative, completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of other people's games.

At this time, I was still watching the rest of the Lakers players play on the bench, although I would have liked to play earlier, but looking at the appearance of the Silver Fox Harris does not seem to have any intention of making me play quickly, maybe because he wants to let those Lakers starters who have not performed well before regain some confidence in the weaker Spurs.

I can't do anything about this, after all, they are now the starting players of the Lakers, in fact, they do still have some strength, but many times they can't fully play in the Lakers' existing team system.

At least in terms of abuse, our Lakers team is still quite powerful, because many players have strong individual single ability, so it is easier to play well when encountering teams that are not very defensive overall, but when they encounter players with good defensive discipline or super individual defensive ability, they can't play so easily.

Therefore, although our Lakers quasi-All-Star level players have good individual ability, they do not have absolute individual strength, and they can also call the wind and rain when facing the real league's top defense.

Shaq may indeed have quite a strong personal dominance ability on the inside, but he also has a big flaw, on the one hand, relying on his center to initiate tactics are relatively slow-paced positional battles, and in fact, several of the Lakers' outside starters are not particularly good at positional battles, and their style is more like running and shooting or opening up games.

Therefore, in many cases, the existence of Shak's strong point often does not bring good opportunities for outside players, because these outside players like Van Exel and Eddie Jones basically need to have the ball in hand, and Shak's passing timing is not good, so it is difficult to simply use Shaq to attract the bag to get scoring opportunities for outside players, even if the outside line gets a good open shooting opportunity, as a result, their shooting percentage is not guaranteed to cause enough damage to the opposing team.

Of course, I'm also a shooting guard who needs to attack with the ball in my hands, but the difference between me and Eddie Jones and Van Exel is that I have a lot more individual ability than them, and a lot of the time the opponent needs to pack me, so I'm a lot more defensive pressure when I'm with Shaq.

In fact, Eddie Jones and Van Axel certainly have some individual ability, but their single ability is not enough for the opponent to have to deal with with the double bag, so they will pose a much less threat to the opponent's defense.

I spent the rest of the first quarter on the bench, which means that everyone else except Shaq played the whole first quarter among the Lakers' starters, and when the first quarter ended, the Lakers led the Timberwolves by 7 points at 25-18, in fact, the Timberwolves' bench players came up late in the first quarter and launched a fierce counterattack, but in the face of the counterattack Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris was almost completely unresponsive, It may be that he thinks that the Timberwolves will not pose any immediate threat to launch such a counterattack, and it is unlikely that this game will be lost no matter how it is played.

When the second quarter came up, Shaq and I got the opportunity to play at the same time, maybe the head coach Silver Fox Harris arranged so that I and Shaq can have the opportunity to further develop the tacit understanding of the game, in fact, in the last few games at key moments, Shaq and I are often put on the court at the same time to play, which may also show that this head coach still understands the ball a little at some times, and knows what kind of person to believe at critical moments, although I am still a nominal substitute player, But as long as I can keep up the way I'm now, it's hard to say what's going to happen before the trade deadline this season.

After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs' bench players still maintained a strong fighting spirit, it seems that they obviously have more desire to win than the Spurs' starters, maybe they also feel that they are unlikely to win, so they do not have the psychological baggage to play, but are likely to give full play to their strength, after all, the players who can enter the NBA rotation lineup have a certain strength, do not despise any player at any time, they may play exceptionally in the game at any time.

First of all, in terms of defensive enthusiasm, these Timberwolves bench players have shown a very tenacious side, although they are constantly scoring by me and Shaq, but their defensive formation has never been chaotic, and it can be said that they are indeed lacking in personal athleticism and ability, but their defensive enthusiasm and defensive will are still worthy of recognition, at least as an opponent, their performance is worthy of respect.

However, Shaq's initiation of Weilai is really a bit of a momentum of God blocking and killing Buddha, and he is a little bit ignoring the hard defense of the Spurs players, just like he wants to collapse the opposite side.

In the face of Shaq's forced jump dunk against the defense of several people, the Timberwolves players did not show the slightest anger or sadness, but they would always send the ball out as soon as possible, looking for a fast break opportunity when Shaq was busy celebrating and making provocative moves, in fact, several times it was indeed because Shaq was busy interacting with Lakers fans on the sidelines, which directly allowed the Spurs to play more and successfully seize the opportunity to counterattack and break quickly.
