After the event, Jeremy Lin rushed to meet with Hoggist, just to ask him face-to-face about the skills of data brushing and exchange his experience in this area.

Hoggist first listened to Jeremy Lin's ideological report, and in just ten days, Jeremy Lin was able to understand everything and draw inferences from one another, which really deserved his name as a Harvard scholar.

"You're smart! It seems that your understanding of swiping data has risen to a new level. Hoggist smiled.

"Don't just praise me, what I think about myself is not perfect, tell me what are the mistakes and shortcomings of my ideas?" Jeremy Lin asked modestly.

"Then I'll talk about it!" Haugist took a sip of water, "As a playmaker, you have to be nice in scoring and assisting, but it's also important to control your mistakes, so we have to analyze the mood and mentality of our teammates on the court. ”

"You always emphasize analyzing the emotions and mentality of your teammates, but we are not psychologists, and we are not roundworms in other people's stomachs, how can we know what others think?" Jeremy Lin asked.

"We don't need to make a precise judgment, we just need to know a rough idea, as the so-called pushing yourself and others, you put yourself into a preset scene, what kind of mentality will you have, and the mentality of others is probably like that, eight or nine are not far from ten. For example, let's assume a scenario, if we have similar ball skills and training attitudes, and we are in a team to guard the water cooler together, but one day the coach asks me to play as a starter and asks you to continue to sit on the bench, can you feel better? ”

"It's definitely not comfortable!" Jeremy Lin replied without thinking.

"So if you change and you start, and I'm on the bench, do you think I'll feel better?" Hogist asked.

"Of course, it won't feel good...... I understand! Jeremy Lin was enlightened.

"So as long as you put yourself in the position of a teammate and think about your own feelings, you will definitely come to a conclusion that is not too far off!" Haugis nodded, "At the beginning, everyone's mentality is in the normal range, and they are generally eager to try, wanting to attack one or two balls to try their feelings, at this time you have to make more balls for your teammates, and you must pass when you have the opportunity, of course, you must not forget Kobe, but you can't just pass the ball to Kobe, you can grasp the proportion, I believe you have a spectrum." ”

Jeremy Lin couldn't stop nodding yes, and Hougist continued, "When the team falls behind by a big score, you can turn with Kobe, you two take turns, and if Kobe is not there, you can even brush up on points." But be careful, if you have a new teammate, you must pass a few to them. ”

Jeremy Lin asked, puzzled: "Why do you only pass the ball to the newly replaced teammates and not to the players who have been on the field?" ”

"Because I personally think that if a player is on the field and the team keeps falling behind, no matter how hard he tries and can't see the hope of chasing points, then his mentality will definitely collapse, you give him the ball and he will only be at a loss, the worst case is that he is not ready to receive the ball at all, which will cause you to pass the ball wrong, add a bad debt for you, and in some cases, they will get the ball like a hot potato, and quickly waste the ball with an outrageous shot or mistake." Hoggist explained.

"And the new teammates have calmed down below, their mentality is quite calm, and they can at least handle the ball reasonably after they get on the field, right?" Jeremy Lin added.

"Exactly!" Hoggist was pleased with Jeremy Lin's understanding.

"What if the team is ahead? Although the team is aiming to win the championship, it is impossible not to win a game, right? ”

"It's up to the opponent to be ahead, and if you're ahead of those playoff teams, you can give it a go, and it doesn't matter if you win, and the coach won't dig into it. However, when encountering other weak teams in the lotto area, you must also find a way to lose in a fancy way, otherwise every time you win, you will cross out some of the probability of winning the champion lottery and give it to your opponent. ”

"That's why I hate playing on bad teams! It's disgusting that two teams have to go to great lengths to lose to their opponents! Lin's face was full of disgust.

"This is the contradiction between competitive sports and capital operation! What the team owner needs is the greater good, sometimes you don't express your determination to put a bad gamble on the top of the lottery, every year the lottery champion, the fans think you are messing around and not pursuing! The pursuit of the team and the pursuit of the players do not always match, so we must learn to compromise and strive for perfection, and brush up the data in the bad team, and the heart is a little wronged, but it is also for the big contract in the future! Hougist patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder and said.

"What do you think will happen if the Lakers get the No. 1 pick?" Jeremy Lin asked suddenly.

"Not good! I can only congratulate you on your success! Hougist said disapprehantly.

Jeremy Lin looked at Hoggist with strange eyes, as if he had a great appearance. Hogist felt a little puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"As the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and you also have times when you can't talk but have a brain!" Jeremy Lin laughed.

"What did I say?" Hoggist looked dazed, and didn't react for a moment.

"Please, haven't you already booked next year's champion? What if the Lakers get the No. 1 pick next season? "Jeremy Lin started YY.

"I won the championship with Kobe Bryant in the later years of my career, inherited the purple and gold blood, and completed the transfer of power to the Lakers, just like the Magic back then, is it legendary enough?" Hoggist asked.

"You should be able to surpass the magician! After all, Abdul-Jabbar was still at the peak of his rookie season for the Magic, and Abdul-Jabbar was injured when he was leading 3-2 in the finals. So theoretically, the magician relied on the last battle of the finals to become a god. You're different, your rookie season requires you to lead a team of former kings and fallen aristocrats who are ready to be rebuilt, and climb straight from the quagmire to the top of the mountain, and the strongest player in this team besides you is Kobe Bryant, a living fossil-level superstar who is preparing to compete in his 20th season. Bryant, how difficult is this? It can be said that there is no one before! The more Jeremy Lin spoke, the more excited he became, his hands dancing, and the whole person was about to fly into the sky.

Of course, although Hougist sometimes has some moments of his heroism and invincibility, but this does not mean that he is not self-aware, he has not been in college for a day, and he has not played a game in the NCAA, and now imagine that he has led a team that has been in a bad league for a season to jump directly from the bottom of the previous year's ranking to the first place in the league, which is too foolish to dream!

Hoggist poured cold water on Jeremy Lin, who was still immersed in his colorful imagination world, "It's also possible that I hit the rookie wall after three or five games, and my personal characteristics have been thoroughly studied by my opponents, and I can no longer play efficient games, and I can't carry the whole team forward." ”

Jeremy Lin nodded, agreeing with Hoggist's point of view, "But I heard that you can achieve a 30% shooting percentage under Leonard's single defense, I don't know how many outside players in the league are as good as Leonard's defense?" LeBron, Paul. George, Jimmy. Butler, Durant barely counts one, and then who else? Giannis. Antetokounmpo? ”

"Wait, are you talking about that Greek rookie from the Bucks? You can even call his name! "This is the first time I've heard someone pronounce his last name on an unofficial occasion!" ”

"Haoji, aren't we speaking Chinese? Antetokounmpo is just five words, and it's not a tongue twister, can't I still say it? Jeremy Lin gave Haugist a blank look.

"I was so involved in the conversation that I forgot about this stubble! But when it comes to Giannis, his defense is not weak, and players like them with both height and arm span and speed have an innate defensive advantage! This size is the benchmark for future all-round players, so I've always wanted to be taller, at least 6'8", preferably as tall as a magician! "Hoggist dreamed of being a tall perimeter player from the very beginning of high school.

Jeremy Lin denied his point of view, "The increase in height will inevitably bring a decrease in flexibility and speed, and if you want to grow taller and play point guard, I am afraid it is difficult to have the best of both worlds!" ”

Hogist has his own set of theories, "In my opinion, flexibility, agility, and speed are all talents like height, arm span, and figure, but talent is not easy to have!" O'Neal has both height, figure and flexibility, Olajuwon and KG have height, flexibility and agility, and Giannis's speed, agility and height and reach are extremely good, but the shooting is really bad. Iverson surpassed the 96 golden generation in terms of speed, agility and flexibility, but his height was too short, so there were various ideas for the majority of fans for the two-meter Ai. ”

"There seems to be some truth to what you're saying." Jeremy Lin couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.

"So a player like me with speed, flexibility, agility, and projection talent is looking forward to growing taller!" Hougist boasted.

"You are such a strange person, one foot in the sky and one foot in the ground, one moment blowing yourself into the sky, and the next talking as if you are embarrassed by the great responsibility." Jeremy Lin felt that he really couldn't keep up with Hoggist's train of thought, so he couldn't talk anymore.

Haugist stroked his palms and laughed: "You don't understand this, in the face of other people's praise, I must have a clear understanding of myself, and I can't lose myself; But I dare to brag about myself, that's because I know which sentence is true and which sentence is false, can I still be fooled by myself? ”

"You're probably the most bizarre person I've ever met!" Jeremy Lin teased.

"It's a peculiar way of thinking that's the embodiment of imagination and creativity, and that's why I'm able to pass the ball as much as I want like Manu!" Haugist began to boast again.

"Are you really happy like that?" Jeremy Lin asked with a very serious expression.

"Do you think I'm as happy as you think?" Hougist asked rhetorically, and before Jeremy Lin could answer, Hoggist asked himself and said, "No, you're wrong, you can't imagine my happiness!" Hahahaha! ”

Hougist leaned back and fell back with a smile on the side, leaving Jeremy Lin alone in the powerful cold air of the central air conditioner. Before they knew it, they were chatting until the next morning, and they slept less than two hours before Leonadra took them to the training gym.

There is no doubt that the state of the two is a mess, Haugist failed to even score a ball in the morning, Leonard is very happy, according to this state, it is estimated that the last "end three goals" in the morning can finally win a big victory!

However, luck always seemed to be on Hougist's side, and just when Leonard offered to persuade Hoggist to rest for half an hour to prepare for the final heads-up, Jeremy Lin's phone rang sooner or later.

Jeremy Lin answered the phone and chatted briefly, then hung up. Haugist wittily leaned over and asked enthusiastically, "Whose phone is it?" How can I help with something? ”

Jeremy Lin didn't understand Hoggist's intentions, but as if he was eager to help, he replied to Hoggist's question: "It was Mitch who called me." ”

“……？” Hoggist looked confused, "You still have a part-time job at Disneyland?" ”

"Are you serious? Or are you telling me bad jokes? Jeremy Lin cried and laughed and explained, "It's not Mickey Mouse, it's Mitchell. Kupček, the general manager of my lake! ”

Leonard, on the other hand, was amused by Hoggist's cold joke, as if it was such a funny joke.

Jeremy Lin pointed to his head and said to Leonard and Hoggist, "I suspect you guys have a problem here!" It turns out that Kehuai also has this kind of brain circuit, no wonder he never smiles during the game. ”

"What are you looking for?" Hoggist asked.

"Tomorrow night at the press conference for me in LA, Mr. Cook asked me to pick a jersey number first, I said I want No. 7, he said the Lakers are not trading Xavier at the moment. Henry's plan, asking me if I should consider number 8. Jeremy Lin said.

Leonard didn't react, but Hogist shouted anxiously, "Did you promise him?" Don't say yes! That's a pit! ”

"Don't worry, of course I won't say yes! That's Kobe's number! When Kobe Bryant was replaced by No. 24, the Lakers' No. 8 was equivalent to retirement! I'm crazy to pick number 8! I picked the number 17 from the Knicks era. Jeremy Lin said calmly.

"Then I'm relieved! I didn't expect you to be quite witty! Haugist let out a sigh of relief.

"Wit? Thank you for the compliment! I'm waiting to see you go head-to-head with Leonard for the last three balls! Let's get started! "Jeremy Lin actually fought against the Hoggist army.

Horgist didn't expect that his conspiracy to take advantage of Jeremy Lin's sudden incident to answer the phone and take the heads-up affair was debunked in this way, and he didn't think of a wording for a while, so he had to deal with it in a hurry: "Heads-up? That one...... I didn't get a good rest last night, so forget it today! Besides, that's all for now, let's go to dinner! ”
