Arenas frowned, apparently thinking back to each of his own attacks in the previous half hour, and the more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became. Aside from the first few attacks, almost every shot by Arenas was simple and rough, and he was not strong enough to support his simple and rough attack, even if Mutombo did not defend him, he might have difficulty scoring goals.

Chang Wei smiled and said: "In our country, controlling anger is a great skill, learn to control your anger, and you will be able to go further than others." The West also says that impulse is the devil, do you want to put your fate in the hands of the devil? Anger is a sign of irrationality, and in the NBA, there are countless opponents who will try to provoke you, and once you fall into an angry mood, then you will be in the hands of your opponent, and it will also have a huge impact on the team. ”

"Gilbert, I can promise you that you will be an important member of the team this season, and your performance will determine the outcome of the game to a certain extent. So you have to learn to control your anger, there will be a lot of people who provoke you, even more powerful than Deacon Bay, if you can't stand it now, what will you do when the time comes to participate in the official competition? ”

Arenas muttered to himself, "Anger? Control your anger? How do you control it? ”

Chang Wei said leisurely: "For you, there are only two key points to control anger, one is restraint and the other is humility. The so-called restraint, calm in the face of things, forbearance first, self-criticism of everything first, and find reasons from yourself; The so-called humility, do not put on a show, do not be arrogant, only by lowering your position, will you not be angry because of the actions of your opponents. ”

Mutombo also walked over, grabbed Arenas, and said to him: "Gilbert, I know you are a very talented player, and I can see your strength from the one-on-one with you just now. But your shooting is still too simple, how can I say that you are also the starting center of the championship team? Do you think it's so easy to beat me? ”

Arenas's face turned red, he really didn't have enough respect for Mutombo, he took himself too seriously, he took the other party too lightly, thinking that victory would be easy, but in the end he was slapped in the face by the facts. However, he was still a little happy in his heart, after all, Mutombo still admitted his strength, which was good news for him.

Looking at Arenas's mixed feelings, Chang Wei said while the iron was hot: "I know that talented players have their own tempers, and I also know that any star who can go to the top has his own edges and corners, Gilbert, you can keep your temper and character, but remember, don't become a slave to emotions, otherwise you won't be able to become a big weapon for the rest of your life!" ”

Arenas lowered his head in shame and whispered, "I remember, I'm going to try to learn to control my emotions in my rookie season and not make trouble for the team in the middle of the game." But if the other party is too provocative, can I fight back? ”

Chang Wei laughed and said: "Of course, but you always have to remember one thing, you can't do it anyway, you can use trash talk to attack your opponent, or you can cut down high scores to lead the team to win, but these are all things that you can do if you continue to stay on the court." If you fight with someone in a moment, the outcome of the whole game has nothing to do with you! ”

Arenas nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try to keep myself under control, if there's nothing else, then I'll go back first, I need time to think about it, it's not a small difference from my previous style of play......"

Looking at the back of Arenas leaving, Chang Wei chatted with Mutombo again, and now he was most interested in what kind of level Arenas's current strength was. Mutombo thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Chang, I really admire your vision, this guy is completely capable of taking Michael's position." Of course, his skill set and style of play are very different from Michael's, with Gilbert preferring to break through and get kills, while Michael's shooting is more accurate. ”

Chang Wei laughed: "Then you are wrong, you must know that Gilbert has increased his three-point shooting rate to more than 35% in his sophomore year, and he is also a dangerous point outside the three-point line." As long as he gets an open shot, he'll definitely be able to surprise us more, and maybe he'll be more effective than Michael......"

Mutombo looked shocked: "You really don't think low of him, but this guy is still flawed, right?" And it's still that kind of big flaw, otherwise you wouldn't have called me directly to come over and help! ”

Chang Wei said helplessly: "You can also see it, it's just a few small actions, he has lost his mind, put aside all the things he is best at, and only thinks about how to score the ball as soon as possible." If it's so unbearable in one-on-one with you, it's estimated that the opponent will eat all the bones in the NBA! ”

Mutombo patted Chang Wei on the shoulder, comforted him and said, "Chang, he is just a child, don't be too demanding of him." It's a saint who doesn't react at all to the opponent's small movements, and any player will be angry when he encounters something like this, and I'm the same, let alone him. We should give him a little time to overcome it so that he can grow. ”

Chang Wei shrugged and said: "I don't want to do this either, but now that we are the defending champions, and all the teams in the league are targeting us, in fact, we don't have time to adjust slowly." Although we won the championship last season, the shortcomings were also obvious, after Michael was promoted to the starting line-up by the coach, the attacking firepower of the bench players dropped significantly, and many times we had to let two or even three main players continue to play on the field with substitutes. So at the coaching staff meeting, I suggested choosing a backup scorer to give the main players more time to rest and not get into trouble after the substitution. ”

"Do you think Gilbert can do it? I'll admit he's a talented player, but he doesn't seem to be a knife on our bench just yet, right? He's still too young! ”

Chang Wei shook his head and said seriously: "I believe that Gilbert can become the top star in the league in the near future, scoring is just a small meaning for him, it depends on whether he is willing to change." Of course, he's strong enough with his talent right now, but I don't want to stuff a bomb in the dressing room, he has to make changes for the sake of the team and his career. ”
