Chapter 107: Don't forget your original intention
"What's going on with you!" Coach Li Xupeng came up with this sentence, which made Meng Xiaohao stunned.
Of course, Meng Xiaohao knows what Coach Li Xupeng said. Meng Xiaohao smiled awkwardly, "I'...... I don't know what my situation is! ”
"Are you Meng Xiaohao?" Suddenly, Coach Li Xupeng asked.
This question made Meng Xiaohao a little confused, "Of course I am Meng Xiaohao, if you listen to my voice and tone, you can guess, I am Meng Xiaohao!" It's like a fake! ”
"The Meng Xiaohao I know is not such a dish, he is a person who is in charge of the American college league, and he is definitely not the person who makes a lot of mistakes in the professional league and is in a particularly poor state!"
Coach Li Xupeng's sarcasm made Meng Xiaohao very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to take the next sentence......
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Meng Xiaohao didn't speak for a long time, Coach Li Xupeng asked......
Meng Xiaohao was speechless for a long time, and finally held back a sentence for a long time, "I don't know, I can't find the state inexplicably, and I'm also very puzzled!" ”
"Alas......" Coach Li Xupeng on the other end of the phone sighed, "I'm very dissatisfied with your state!" ”
"Me too, I'm very dissatisfied with myself!" In Meng Xiaohao's words, there was some confidencelessness, and he knew that he had disappointed Coach Li Xupeng.
"Do you know why?"
Meng Xiaohao shook his head, "I don't know!" But our coach told me that maybe I wasn't used to playing under so many flashes, more than in college. ”
"And what do you think?" Li Xupeng asked.
"I ......" Meng Xiaohao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't think that's the case, I don't have any problems with the college league, and I'm very calm in front of reporters, so I don't think so." ”
"I think so too!" Coach Li Xupeng said.
"But!" Coach Li Xupeng also had a later word, "Although I don't think so, I think you have other reasons!" To be honest, I know you better! ”
"And what do you think?" Meng Xiaohao asked.
"You're nervous!"
"Nervous?" Meng Xiaohao was a little puzzled, "I know I might be nervous!" ”
"Nope! The nervousness I told you wasn't a nervousness! Coach Li Xupeng said, "Do you think the nervousness is because of excitement!" Am I right? ”
Meng Xiaohao hesitated, although Coach Li Xupeng couldn't see it, he still couldn't help but nodded, "Yes!" I think my nervousness was caused by me being too excited and wanting myself to do well! ”
"But that's not the main reason!" Coach Li Xupeng said.
"And what do you think it is?" Meng Xiaohao didn't know what Coach Li Xupeng thought, so he asked.
"I think ......" At this time, Coach Li Xupeng had no voice.
Coach Li Xupeng suddenly had no sound, which made Meng Xiaohao a little overwhelmed, he didn't know what happened to Coach Li Xupeng......
"Coach? Instructor? Meng Xiaohao tried to call twice, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"I'm thinking!" Coach Li Xupeng had a voice on his side.
"Thinking about what?" Coach Li Xupeng's words made Meng Xiaohao a little confused.
"I think so! In fact, you are not nervous because you are excited, but because your expectations are too high, so you are stressed, so you are nervous! Coach Li Xupeng expressed his opinion.
"What do you mean by that?" Although Meng Xiaohao still disagreed with Coach Li Xupeng's words, out of politeness and respect, Meng Xiaohao still wanted to ask.
"You don't want to disappoint me, do you? You don't want your mom to get you back because you haven't been in the professional arena for four years, do you? You don't want to embarrass UCLA and Zhifei for your performance, do you? You want to be the target of Li Mulin's pursuit, right? You want to give China a long face, right? ”
What Coach Li Xupeng said is not bad at all!
"These thoughts and disapprovals make you feel too stressed, and one of them is that although your mother may not pursue your four-year deadline anymore, you subconsciously, you still care a lot!"
Coach Li Xupeng's words were very accurate, as if he was a roundworm in Meng Xiaohao's stomach, he could see through Meng Xiaohao's heart, and what he said was fatal.
Meng Xiaohao didn't know how to take Li Xupeng's words, what he said was right, there was no mistake, which made Meng Xiaohao feel a little chill behind his back.
"It's because of these expectations of yours that you subconsciously want to have a good performance and don't want to play very poorly, but the more you think about it, the more you get half the result."
Meng Xiaohao was silent, he didn't speak, he knew that what he was doing now was to listen to Coach Li Xupeng and listen to his suggestions......
"I think so!" Coach Li Xupeng began to give Meng Xiaohao advice, "I suggest you throw away all these factors!" Forget it all! Not for me, not for your mother, not for Li Mulin, not for UCLA and Zhifei Middle School, not for China! ”
At this time, Coach Li Xupeng paused......
"Just for yourself! Just enjoy the basketball and enjoy the cheers! ”
"Enjoy...... Basketball? Meng Xiaohao said silently in a low voice, "For the sake of ...... Yourself, enjoy...... Basketball? ”
"That's right, purely out of your own hobby, for your hobby, to play the world's oldest basketball league, to enjoy the happiness that basketball brings you! Don't think about the pressure! ”
Meng Xiaohao read these words over and over again in his heart, for himself, enjoy basketball.
Meng Xiaohao vaguely found that when he came to college basketball, it was not for a pure hobby, not only to chase his dreams, for a four-year contract, in order not to lose face, in order to let fans and the media criticize him less, gradually, he seemed to have detached himself from his original intention of playing......
Don't forget the original intention, it seems that Meng Xiaohao is getting farther and farther away......
Why do you play basketball? Is it for money? Is it to fight for breath? Is it to fulfill his father's last wish? Is it to allow China to rise in the basketball world completely? Is it for Zhifei Middle School or UCLA? Is it to make Li Mulin also an excellent basketball player?
Neither!
The original intention of playing basketball is just because of his hobby, he loves basketball, he likes the sport where several people rush to grab a ball together, he likes to see the ball he throws into the basket, making the sound of the extremely beautiful net and the basketball rubbing.
He likes to put on a fancy ball and then his teammates score it, he likes to sweat it on the court, he likes the wooden floor, the ball, the stainless steel basket, he likes it......
Basketball!
In an instant, Meng Xiaohao understood why he was in a bad state, why he was very sluggish, and why...... Go play basketball yourself.
"How lucky a person should be if he turns his hobby into his profession!" Meng Xiaohao smiled slightly and looked at his teammates around him, "These people should all like basketball and love basketball!" ”
There are countless people who like basketball in this world, Meng Xiaohao suddenly found that he was not outstanding, he would not be very prominent because he was in the professional league, on the contrary, Meng Xiaohao found that he did not carry so much, he was the same as those who like basketball, they are all part of the basketball family, they are all people who love basketball and like basketball.
At this time, Meng Xiaohao found that he had changed slightly.
"Coach Li Xupeng!" Meng Xiaohao said in a low voice.
"What? Any thoughts? ”
At this time, Meng Xiaohao raised his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes, which had recently lost their highlights, radiated again, and his eyes also revealed firmness and confidence......
"I want to say......" Meng Xiaohao paused......
"Thank you!"
