"Alas! The maturity and leadership you showed at the NCAA level was so much higher than your peers that I was mistaken for thinking that you were mentally mature, and it seemed that I was too anxious! Shashewski sighed, "I didn't expect you to resist the temptation of Vanity Fair!" Those reporters, I don't deny that there may be people who really treat you as the next Jordan, but more reporters just treat you as a gimmick, a gimmick that can make their stories attract more traffic, and they will throw you a lot of traps and problems, push you to the forefront, and make it difficult for you to ride the tiger if you are not careful. Their reports did give you fame and fortune, but that is deadly poison, your foundation is on the court, you can't be swayed by the ideas of reporters, who do you think knows the true meaning of basketball better, coaches or reporters? ”

"I used to be quite averse to hype, but how did I enjoy it unconsciously?" Hoggist also seemed to finally feel that something was wrong.

"Most people can't resist the temptation of fame and fortune, it's normal, I sometimes hesitate, let me give you a suggestion! When you are intoxicated with fame and fortune, you might as well make a list in your study, what do you want, even if you want luxury cars, famous watches, villas with pools or a group of beautiful women around you, these flashy things don't matter, and then you open your bank account and look at your savings, is it not enough for the money you earn from playing ball and endorsements to afford these squandering? I guess it's more than enough, right? If you're making enough money to squander yourself, why spend time and energy thinking about those false names? Why don't you take more time to think about why you're playing basketball? Coach K asked.

"Because playing makes me happy!" Hoggist blurted out without thinking.

"Is it the very thing that makes you happy, or is it beating others that makes you happy, or is it the money you spend that makes you happy?" Shashefsky asked.

"Well......" Hoggist couldn't answer, and after thinking for a long time, he hesitated: "It's definitely not the big money I earn from playing that makes me happy, I can't make money playing in high school and college, but I devote myself to the game just as wholeheartedly; But I don't know if winning makes me happy or if basketball itself makes me happy, because I hate the feeling of losing, but even if it's not a game, I feel happy when I train or shoot alone. ”

"It doesn't really matter, since the reason why you started playing is not fame and fortune, then now that you have gained fame and fortune, you shouldn't be bothered by them, but keep your purest original intention, right?" Shashewski smiled like a father and nodded, "Do you remember that you refused my national team invitation and insisted on returning to your home country to play for the Chinese men's basketball team?" At that time, although I felt regretful, but I also admired you for having the courage to pursue your ideals, how many people with poor economic conditions would rather starve and starve in pursuit of their own ideals, think of you as a worry-free and talented person should not see through the vanity of fame and fortune, to pursue ideals as the first priority in life? ”

"You're right, my mentality is really wrong, I always thought that I was playing tricks on the media, but I didn't expect to lose my heart when I answered the question against my will." This time, Hogist really covered his face with a towel and began to seriously reflect on his own problems.

"I'm not going to take you to the press conference today, Saggy did a great job defending in the fourth quarter and should be given a chance to show his face," Shashewski nodded.

And during this time when the two began soul torture, Nick. Young's three-point strong shot after going around the cover caused Porzingis to foul and graduate, and the Knicks, who lacked Porzingis, had no power to resist, replacing Anthony to officially throw and admit defeat, and the final score was fixed at 100:77, the Lakers beat the Knicks by 23 points, and Horgist's data shrank again, "only" got 25 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals, and the rebounds hit a career "new low".

"ell, ell, ell, let's see who's back, our three-pair little prince, finally got three pairs today, right?" Yi Jianlian stayed in the locker room after re-stitching the wound, and took the initiative to greet his teammates when he saw them returning.

Because Yi Jianlian left the court twice injured in the second half, he didn't know that Hoggist couldn't play in the fourth quarter, and thought that Hoggist led the team to defeat the Knicks on the court, so he raised the question of which pot not to mention. However, after Shashewski's enlightenment, Haugist also saw a lot and laughed at himself: "This may be the worst game of my career!" It's really a church apprentice, starving to death the master! ”

Nick. Yang didn't understand the Chinese stalk between Hoggist and Yi Jianlian at all, so he had to smile on his face. Young is still very grateful for Hoggist's careful guidance on defense, and now he sincerely respects Hoggist as a teacher.

"Saggy, follow me to the reporter!" Shashewski said as he knocked on the locker room door.

Nick. Yang was very surprised, "Me? But Haoji's performance is much more exciting! ”

Coach K said coldly: "He was grounded by me!" ”

"Grounded? With such a strong parental style, do you want to create a team atmosphere that is like family? "Kobe Bryant sat in the back chair with a big guy style.

“Just for Haogistt！ Your method of dominating the team isn't for a rookie like him! Shashewski explained.

“It’s fine，I’m just joking！” Kobe Bryant suddenly changed to a relaxed expression, "I believe in your ability to develop players, you are professional, the way you decide, I only have one request, I like Hoggist's competitiveness the most, even if you transform it, it can only make it stronger, if Hougist's competitiveness is reduced by a penny, then I will have to find you trouble!" ”

"Don't worry! He'll grow into a good leader! Shashefsky assured.

Kobe Bryant shook his head, "It's not enough to be qualified, I need him to be the best team leader among the thirty teams!" ”

"Is this also your paranoid competitive spirit?" Old K winked at Kobe Bryant and took Nick. Yang left.

When a room full of reporters saw that the player in today's interview was Nick. Young when Binick. Yang was also surprised, all the questions prepared before were in vain, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and calculated new questions, or Winters, the female reporter of the Lakers country, reacted quickly and took the lead in raising her hand to ask, "Saggy, your defense in the fourth quarter is almost like two people compared to the last minute of the first half, what caused the sudden increase in the intensity of your defense?" ”

“O，that’s super akard！ It's so embarrassing, you just praise me for defending well in the fourth quarter! Ha ha! "Nick. Young quipped, "But seriously, at halftime our little brother Haugist gave me one of the most important defensive lessons of my life, do you think I had some of his shadow in the fourth quarter on the defensive side?" ”

Immediately, a reporter asked: "Why was Hoggist hidden by the head coach in the fourth quarter?" We saw that it seems that he had an argument with the coach before the end of the game, and the coach didn't bring him to the press conference today. ”

"Disputes? I didn't see it! And in the fourth quarter we have been leading by a large score, are you serious about going to Haugist? Does the Knicks have a grudge against you? Do you want us to win by thirty or forty points? "Nick. Yang said with an exaggerated expression.

"Howgist is almost a season low in all stats, has he hit the rookie wall?" Some reporters quickly threw out new questions.

"Haugist's role on the court is to lead the team to beat the opponent as quickly as possible, the stats are not his concern, to put it irreverently, if we can lead by more than 30 points in the first quarter, maybe you won't see him back on the court in the next three quarters! Didn't he have the name of Hurley in the half when he was in college? In the NCAA, Hougist basically only plays half a game, and you need to get used to his style! By the way, shouldn't you ask more questions about me? "Nick. Yang was very depressed, and finally came to a post-match press conference, how did he become the spokesperson of Hoggist, and all the problems revolved around Hogist.

"Iggy is your girlfriend," one reporter said of Nick. Yang's girlfriend, rapper Amelia. Kelly (AKA Iggie zalea) and Nick Young let out a sigh of relief, finally have a question about me, and the scandal is okay! But the reporter then asked, "Does she have anything to do with Koloe?" The inside scoop on Molise and Haugist's real relationship? ”

Nick. Yang was almost about to explode, how could this be related to Hogist? Hold back the fire, Nick. Yang said in an unprecedentedly stern tone: "Respect is mutual, I don't feel any respect from your questions, so I won't answer your boring questions, if you don't have questions about my basketball, I think today's interview can end here!" ”

It's a pity that there are always a few uninteresting people in life who ask inappropriate questions in inappropriate situations, "When it comes to Hoggist, you are so impatient, is there a problem in your relationship?" ”

"I refuse to answer questions about him precisely to protect him from journalists like you who rely on imagination to do news, thank you!" After saying that, Nick. Yang got up and left the interview room without looking back.

"It's really Asshole every year, especially this year, and the good mood of winning is ruined! Don't call me next time! "Out of the interview room Nick. Young complained to Coach K.

"You're a veteran player, it's easier to deal with these people than Haugist, and the language scale is more appropriate, Haugie has been a little dizzy by reporters recently, so we have to give him a safe distance to protect him and give him some room to grow! Next time I'll let Kobe Bryant scare them! Shashewski smiled and walked in the direction of the locker room.

The Lakers flew to Miami overnight, and the Nicks. Young's outstanding performance in the fourth quarter saved him from the punishment of telling cold jokes, everyone sang and laughed all the way to the plane, and many people chose to rest during the flight, but Hougist carefully studied the video of the Heat's previous games, the Heat's inside big white side Hassan Whiteside and Bosh are far more difficult to deal with than the Knicks' two, how to deal with them is the key to whether they can win, as for Wade Hoggist is not worried, this year's Wade is no longer the omnipotent Flash, the new apprentice Nick. Young should be able to deal with it, even if Nick. Yang can't do it, and the old and spicy Kobe Bryant is in the formation!

Although the arrangement of the squad is a problem for the coaching staff, Hogist has always liked to study how to make the lineup play to avoid weaknesses and defeat the enemy, and it is fun to use his brain off the court to strategize and lead the army on the field, not to mention that Shashewski is also very happy to exchange tactical issues with Haugist, he thinks that Haugist is enough to be his chief assistant coach even if he is at his current level, Kobe Bryant is training Hoggist as the heir, why not Shashewski?

So the only two people on the plane who were awake sat down together and discussed tactics. Shashewski, like many coaches he has met, likes to listen to him, develop his independent thinking and analytical skills, and then fill in the gaps. Hougist took the tactical board and drew while talking to the old K coach, "Wade's breakthrough finishing ability Kobe and Saggy are enough to deal with it, and Dragic's organizational ability to attack can be completely limited by Jeremy Lin, and the key point of victory and defeat should still be on the inside, especially Bosh." How do you think I'll defend Bosh? ”

"You're defending Bosh? Tell me what you think. Shashefsky looked at Haugist with encouraging eyes and motioned for him to continue.

"I carefully studied Bosh's style of play, although he is nearly 7 feet tall, but his most certain offensive method now is mid-to-long-range shooting, not a lot of shots under the basket, and his finishing ability under the basket can be seen from the 14 Finals has begun to gradually decline, even the aging Duncan can easily limit him, so I think I should be able to limit his performance on the offensive end, and Whiteside's hand-to-hand blue-collar interior I think Turner should be able to handle it, with Jeremy Lin, Kobe, Randle, My lineup and Turner's lineup picked up the tempo, the tempo of the transition between attack and defense, and it shouldn't be a problem to drag them down. Hoggist analyzed seriously.

Shashewski quickly spotted a small problem, "It's a good idea to speed up and drag down Whiteside and Wade, but don't you think about Kobe's physical problems?" ”

"Uh...... Running for about 5 minutes per session shouldn't be a problem, right? When it comes to the bench lineup, there's nothing to worry about, and on the outside you have a new defensive Nick. Young, those outside bench players of the Heat, what Taylor. Johnson, Josh. Needless to say, Richardson is too weak, Winslow is your veteran, and you should be more familiar with his technical characteristics than me, and McRoberts, who can enter the rotation on the Heat's inside, is too soft, Haslem is short, old and slow, and we have more advantages in the bench matchup time! Hoggist hesitated for a moment, and then analyzed his opinion, in his opinion, Kobe's physical strength is really a small problem not worth worrying about.
