The Knicks lost Game 5 86-107. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Knicks fans were disappointed, the Bulls weren't happy, and Rodman was also helped out by his teammates to check out.

The two Bulls superstars played well, Jordan scored 45 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and Pippen also scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The Knicks scored in double figures with five players on the team, and no one scored 20+, and the situation seemed to be not good.

At the post-match press conference, the managers of both teams said that the injury of the opposing player was just an accident, and that the injury of the own player was a malicious foul.

Yang Rui was interviewed and generously admitted the thumbs up. "I still want to give Rodman the middle finger, bastard has been punished, no one is allowed to gloat?"

The two sides happily tore B, and no one could help anyone.

The media news didn't mention much about malicious fouls, and they were suppressed by the league, and the Bulls went out in two consecutive rounds, which affected the image of the league very much.

A lot of fans are talking about Bowen, who made a name for himself by injuring the famous bastard Rodman and not even getting a common foul.

The next day, Yuyin's injury was announced and he was diagnosed with a first-degree medial collateral ligament sprain in his right knee, which was not serious and required two to four weeks of rest.

Rodman sprained his ankle and will miss about two weeks and will not be able to play.

For the sake of ratings, Stern certainly wants the Bulls to play seven games against the Knicks, but not in this way. Now he's leaning toward the Knicks knocking out the Bulls to advance.

Adam Silva, a bespectacled, thin-haired, emaciated special assistant asked, "David, should we arrange for the Bulls to get them into a tie-break?" ”

He's talking about arranging the home whistle to make sure the Bulls win.

Stern shook his head. "No, don't do anything, if the Bulls can't win against the Knicks in a fair game, they deserve to be eliminated, it's time for this team to rebuild."

Stern also won't make things easy for the Knicks, and most of the time, he doesn't help either. Ewing is injured, the Knicks are missing a big gimmick, and this playoff game is destined to be imperfect.

On the evening of the 25th, the Knicks flew to Chicago and practiced on the afternoon of the 26th.

Van Gundy was still angry, sullen, and planned to take the players to practice, but Yang Rui raised objections.

"I don't think there's any need to practice, there's no time to arrange new tactics for them to get used to, we can only use our existing advantages against the bulls, and physical strength is the key."

"What tactics?"

"Pressing all over the court, fast attacking. Patrick is not there, positional warfare will definitely be affected, we have to avoid slowing down as much as possible, compared to speed, the Bulls are not opponents. Yang Rui said.

Van Gundy was silent for a moment and sighed: "Just do as you say, only practice shooting today?" ”

"Well, practice three points, I'll go talk to Ben."

As soon as Ewing was injured, Van Gundy had a sense of foreboding, suspecting that the Knicks would be unlucky again this season. It was because he didn't have enough confidence in his team that he was angry and worried about being eliminated.

Yang Rui is calmer than him, Ewing is in a style of play, Ewing is not there, the Knicks still have characteristics, not that they must not be able to beat the Bulls. Ben Wallace, for example, starts at center and is far more mobile than the Bulls center.

Yang Rui stopped beside Ben Wallace, and Big Ben spoke first. "Jerry, I was sorry yesterday."

"No need to apologize, I seem to have found the reason for your low shooting percentage, if you want to help the team on the offensive end, you have to get through your own mentality. Ben, you have no way out, your playing time will increase, the Bulls will use shark slashing tactics, and the Jazz will definitely do the Finals. ”

Ben Wallace took a deep breath and felt more stressed as soon as he heard the "shark slashing tactic".

Yang Rui slapped the basketball twice, shot the basket in front of the free throw line with a standard urinal, and said with a smile: "You can have a shooting rate of about 60% in training, but only 30% on the court, why do you think it is?" ”

"Am I too nervous?" Big Ben replied embarrassedly.

"I think it's because you're working too hard and being too focused." Yang Rui paused for a moment and said lightly: "The desire to score goals and please the fans will make you put in extra effort and focus, and this kind of conscious effort can mess everything up." ”

Big Ben frowned: "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Isn't effort a compliment? How can everything be messed up?

Yang Rui smiled slightly: "Have you ever accidentally burned or spilled while drinking coffee?" ”

"Yes."

Yang Rui pretended to be holding a cup of something and explained, "Now, you imagine that the cup is full of hot coffee. You don't want to spill it, worry about it spilling...... All of a sudden, you're moving completely differently. ”

Big Ben understood what Yang Rui meant. When people notice how tightly they hold the cup handle, they begin to think, they will want to be more stable, have more strength, and even use the other hand to assist, and the movement will be unnatural.

"That's why I'm making worse free throws on the court?"

"Well, because you're starting to think about the consequences of failure, you're afraid, and your arms aren't as good as they were when you were training."

Yang Rui read an article in his previous life in which the author revealed the world-renowned pianist's bizarre localized dystonia, a functional disorder of the limbs or joints, especially the hands.

If the piano is removed, the fingers of these pianists can move freely, and it is the task itself that causes the dysfunction.

If you're faced with a task that requires precision, deep down you're thinking, "What am I going to do?" How can I be more precise? "And then worry about the consequences, which can lead to aberrations, and many people have been in similar situations.

That's the case with Big Ben, as soon as he gets to the free throw line, the mental changes can cause his hands to become dysfunctional. Fear of missing a penalty and being criticized by the media, fear of being ridiculed by fans for the action of a free throw.

Big Ben was silent for a while and looked at Yang Rui: "What should I do?" ”

'Keep a normal mind, I can only point out that, you have to believe on the pitch that you can score the ball and forget about the consequences. Remember, being able to help your team win, no matter what you do, is the coolest. ”

Future NBA articles will introduce the mentality of the players. Humiliation can be a powerful deterrent.

On March 2, 1962, in the game in which Chamberlain scored 100 points, he scored 28 free throws and conceded only four. Best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell points out in his History Revision Podcast that Chamberlain only conceded four free throws at the time because he used a urinal-style free-throw position.

After shooting a career-high 61.3 percent from the free-throw line this season, Chamberlain surprisingly returned to free-throw shooting the following season.

Gladwell uses this example to illustrate why some people make the wrong choice knowing what is best for them. He interviewed Rick Barry, who said O'Neal rejected his suggestion, saying, "I'd rather shoot zero than make free throws." ”

The mentality has prevented the two interior stars from reaching the heights they deserve, and if O'Neal had shot 20 percentage points higher from the free-throw line, he might have won multiple scoring titles, rather than averaging 30+ per game at the peak of his career.

Big Ben began to practice free throws, and Yang Rui said everything that should be said, whether he can win tomorrow depends on the player's performance.
