In the rest of the second quarter, my competitive state was still very good, in fact, because my game was still in good shape, so even if Shaq had a slight comment about my crazy attack, but in the end it still didn't seem to find much reason to stop me, maybe Shaq himself figured it out, I played well in the second quarter, and he played a little better in the third quarter.

The Magic's defense in the second quarter has increased to a terrifying level, as soon as I get the ball, they will at least two people come to me and play crazy traps on me, and they seem to find that I am mainly single-handed, and basically rarely pass, so they are just going to let a few guys wrap me up and not let me continue to attack.

However, at this point I just don't want to pass the ball, even if they are three or even four people to wrap me, I will not choose to pass, after figuring this out, my attack becomes more resolute, as long as I maintain enough concentration and determination, even if there are many people at the same time to cover me, but in fact, it can not have a huge impact on me, this is difficult to say.

In fact, the most important thing on the basketball court is to maintain your own rhythm of the game, no matter how difficult this rhythm of the game is, as long as you can do what you are good at, then you are a very good one on the basketball court.

Although many times playing requires teamwork or reasonableness, but sometimes when your individual competitive state really reaches a certain level, it seems that you can ignore the restrictions on your game, of course, all this is actually difficult to explain, but if you can maintain enough aggression, then you will become the opponent's eyes have to focus on defending on the court.

For the remainder of the second quarter, our Lakers starters were basically full, and the Magic's bench players were substituted shortly after because they had a terrible performance against our starters, and the second half of the second quarter was mostly between our Lakers starters and the Magic's starters.

There is still a certain gap between the starting players of the Magic team and the starting players of our Lakers team, whether it is inside or outside, whether it is individual ability or team ability.

Originally, our Lakers team is not actually a team that is good at playing team basketball, and our team's tactical execution ability has always been not very good, but after all, it is a comparison with top team basketball teams such as the Jazz and the Rockets.

In fact, although our Lakers team often conducts tactical training before home games, at least before the last few home games, including today's home game, our Lakers team has strengthened tactical execution ability through some in-team tactical training.

Although the innate talent will have a certain impact on the cultivation effect of the day after tomorrow, as long as the acquired training method is mastered enough in the process of training, then the player can still obtain a relatively strong tactical execution ability in the day after tomorrow.

This is also reflected in our past few games, at least our Lakers team has had some huge improvements in tactical execution compared to the beginning of the season, although these improvements may sometimes be one or two games and there is no way to see how huge, but as long as we accumulate a few more games, this gap will still be obvious.

Today, when the Magic team faced us, it was able to pull a certain gap in tactical literacy by our Lakers starters, which I still didn't expect before the game, but at least the players of the team did work very hard to cultivate tactical literacy in our pre-game training today.

And our head coach Silver Fox Harris in order to cultivate a set of our Lakers exclusive tactical system, he still put in a lot of effort, no matter what, our Lakers team can achieve proud results, certainly not the achievements of one or a few people, but the result of the joint efforts of everyone up and down our Lakers team.

Whether it is a starter or a substitute player, whether it is a head coach or an assistant coach, whether it is an ordinary staff or management, in short, behind our Lakers team's good record this season is the result of the joint efforts of countless people, no matter when we should not forget this, because if we forget this, we will fall into a misunderstanding, feel that we are particularly powerful, but in fact, although personal ability is very strong in basketball games, But you can't mythologize the impact of individual abilities on the team as a whole, because in the end, what really makes a team special is something like chemistry.

It's not so easy to talk about chemistry, for example, the personalities between me and Shaq are actually quite opposite, but in a sense, Shaq and I are very complementary, and it is precisely because of this opposition and complementarity that when the two of us are on the field or even off the field at the same time, we can form an unusual chemical reaction, which can transform the conflict that seems not very good into some kind of powerful energy, help us improve ourselves, help us to defeat our opponentsTherefore, don't think that sometimes this opposition is necessarily bad, and the reasonable application of this opposition energy may be able to help you achieve great success.

At this time, the game continued in the second quarter, and as the Magic team used so many players to defend me, my offensive involvement on the court has reached a rather terrifying level, and as long as I reach this kind of influence, then what I do next can determine whether our Lakers are in an advantageous position, because when their Magic team defends me, they are in a very passive change situation, and I am in a state of active adjustment by myself. And that's what gives me the initiative, or rather a good initiative for the Lakers as a whole, and that's very important.

The Magic seemed to stick to their defensive strategy, and they were convinced that I was still going to play very alone, but after the second half of the second quarter I started passing, and the main target of this passing was Shaq, because my connection with Shaq was so strong that when I gathered too much attention around me, Shaq didn't have enough control around me to defend Shaq.

Of course, in fact, Shaq sometimes wants to attack with the ball by himself, but he will definitely not refuse if he has a good opportunity to eat cakes, so in the end Shaq still has to accept my arrangement of the ball on the court, because he will eventually understand that my arrangement of the ball is very correct, and in fact, many times he Shaq has no way to do this correct arrangement, after all, more often on the field can control the rhythm of the game is the outside player.

Although the tactical core of some teams may also be interior players, but that is based on some special conditions, one of the very important conditions is that their core interior players need to have strong enough personal ability, if the interior player does not have such ability, then he naturally has no way to achieve such influence on the offensive end, which is the key to the problem.

The Magic team has no way to face the tacit cooperation between me and Shaq, and even because my pass is too high to hit the dunk directly in the air, they even want to foul me directly, because when Shaq flies up, it seems that they have no way to foul Shaq again, even if the foul is mostly two plus one, but my free throw shooting rate is as high as 90%, it seems that no matter what they do, they can't defend me and Shaq, which of course will make the players on the Magic team crazy.

And the All-Star guard Hardaway who was opposite me seemed to be in a very bad mood, and he was obviously a little difficult to accept being blown up by me as a rookie player, because whether it was offensive or defensive, I did completely suppress his Hardaway light on both ends, which made him more and more difficult to accept, so he started to talk trash talk to me on the court, but I was not interested in his trash talk at all.

In fact, Hardaway may not be a person who likes to talk trash on weekdays, so the trash talk he says is often not powerful at all, and it is precisely because his trash talk lacks the necessary power that I don't care about his trash talk at all, just as a fun point on the field, when you feel that the other party's trash talk on you is like a joke, then your psychological tolerance is undoubtedly quite strong.

And when you have such a strong psychological endurance, the opponent on the field wants to cause you any huge interference is undoubtedly in vain, and once your psychological level completely crushes your opponent, then you can crush him at any level on the field, whether it is offensive or defensive, the psychological impact sometimes has a great impact on the player's state, which is quite beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Only when you personally feel this pressure on the field and the impact of this psychological state on you will you understand a truth.

That is, it is really necessary for you to improve your own psychological quality, and a good psychological quality can also help you achieve greater success while playing, which is why Shi Buddha and other pits went to learn psychology in college, and then HOU entered the league so steadily, because his personal psychological quality is really too strong, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have the same maturity as him at his age, which is really different from others. That's where he far outperforms the others, and in that sense, Duncan's wait in college was actually very successful.

In a place like the NBA, where strength speaks, your personal strength, not your emotions, really determine your value and status on the court, and trash talk alone won't help you succeed.

Although many superstars like Jordan and Larry Bird seem to like to talk trash, they succeed not because they can talk trash, but only because they are successful to say trash talk, and only when you have enough strength to pretend that your coercion is valuable, otherwise you can't just talk trash and can't help you shoot those damn balls, what is the actual value of you saying trash talk, you say you are talking trash talk, You might think that spewing this trash talk will make you seem like a joke.

That's why I don't trash talk at all, and I don't pay attention to the trash talk of my opponents, because I know that all my attention on the basketball court should be on the basketball itself, and anything that will interfere with me getting into this state is something I need to avoid, and whether or not trash talk affects my opponents, at least one thing is clear, and that is that it will definitely affect me.

That's something that I can't accept, because in fact I don't need to influence my opponents, but to keep my focus on being competitive, otherwise everything will go the same way.

However, there are not many young people in the league who have such an awareness as me, and many older people don't seem to have such awareness, of course, many young players don't know how to talk trash at first, but they are influenced by some older generation of players, and gradually they start to like to talk trash talk, they actually don't know whether it makes real sense to talk trash talk, but there is no doubt that since those seniors like to talk trash talk, So why don't they talk trash themselves?

This is like some people can smoke, and then let the younger generation see that smoking seems cool and seems very handsome, so they also want to learn to smoke, many good habits may not be learned by many people, but some bad habits are many people vying to learn, this may be a weakness of our human beings, of course, there are many human weaknesses, this is just one of the more obvious examples.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Magic team called two timeouts, because their state on the court is really a bit bad, both the offensive end and the defensive end were comprehensively suppressed by the OK combination composed of me and Shaq, although this is only an away game for them, but if the loss is too bad, it will still have a very huge impact on the morale of their entire team, as for why there is such an impact I have also said before, mainly because of Shaq, Shaq is undoubtedly a thing formed between our Lakers and the Magic, it may be like a thorn, as long as the Magic team sees Shaq's crazy performance, they will continue to regret letting Shaq come from their Magic team to our Lakers.

In any case, their management can't find a place to buy regret medicine, and now they can only watch their team's players being blown up by our Lakers players on the court, of course, mainly by me and Shaq, and it can even be said that they have been completely blown up.

Hey, Shaq and I are not going to show mercy at all, after all, we all know very well that there is no need to show mercy, we all enjoy this kind of game very much, enjoy the pleasure of beating opponents, because this is the NBA, this is professional basketball, it is so cruel, and the same as nature is to follow the law of survival of the jungle, if you are not strong enough, you will become a loser.

You can say that there is always someone who wants to win, why not me, but if you don't have the strength to match your ambition, your ambition is just a joke, and only when you understand this deeply will everything seem more worthwhile.

But no matter how many timeouts the Magic called, their performance on the court was still not satisfactory, of course, they could change things a little bit, for example, they may not be able to prevent me and Shaq from attacking, but they can still make themselves a little better on the offensive end, and of course they did do that, they did play better on the offensive end after the timeout.

But if it was just better, there was no way to help them win the game, or even help them narrow the gap a little, and by this time with two minutes to go before the end of the second quarter, our Lakers had already taken a 15-point lead.

Such a half-time score advantage can already explain some problems, one of which is very important, that is, the overall strength of their Magic team is indeed much worse than our Lakers, which is difficult to change.

No matter how much the Magic team makes tactical changes to the current roster, there is no way to change all this, their disadvantages are multifaceted, and the only thing they can pray for is whether Shaq and I are willing to show mercy and give them a little bit of face, so that they don't lose too badly.

Of course, it may depend on Shaq's mood, after all, he is the real protagonist of today's game.
