Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 82 Special Sources of Confidence

Of course, Wang Hao's performance in this game is not bad, with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal.

It's just that the shooting percentage is not very good, 14 of 5 shots, 11 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 6 free throws.

Tonight, Wang Hao was closely watched.

That's right, the pattern of the digital team's game today is obvious, that is, other players defend and Iverson attacks.

In this way, there are enough people in the team to carry out focused man-to-man defense.

Not only Wang Hao, but Wen Baker was also stared at today.

However, he can still feel that other teams are strengthening their defense against him.

The performance is getting better and better, and it should be taken seriously.

If we talk about the first few games, Wang Hao basically hid behind Wen Baker and Gary Payton and crazily output.

Then, from now on, he will most likely also stand in the front, and only if he holds on, can he pick up the cocoon and break into a butterfly.

In the NBA, there is never a shortage of players who explode in a certain game, role players who average 10 points per game, and suddenly score 30 or even 40 points.

This is not impossible, but happens from time to time.

The reason for this is naturally because the opponent's target is not enough, coupled with the sudden outbreak.

However, only players who can make the explosion a routine are the stars that the NBA lacks.

In the next game, whether they can withstand the opponent's target is the most critical.

"King, let's talk!"

"Field, what's the matter?"

Although he said so, Wang Hao still took the initiative to open the door and let Field walk in.

Now it's an away game, so naturally he doesn't live in an apartment, but in a hotel in Philadelphia.

In addition to Wang Hao, there is Gerani McCoy in this room. The two live in a hotel?
Of course not, this is Wang Hao's room alone, and Gerani is here to visit.

Mainly lived with Gerani, a white training match whom Gerani didn't like.

So, apart from having to go back to sleep, Gerani simply stayed in Wang Hao's room.

Do you feel that the boss of the NBA is a bit condescending, and they don't arrange a single room for each person?
In fact, the cost of NBA away games is not a small number for each team.

In addition to the players, there are also coaching staff, staff, and even team reporters accompanying the team to the away game.

The Sonics' performance in recent years has not been ideal, and the team's owner is also a little suspicious.

Even so, the number of them going to away games is around 40.

Air tickets, buses, hotels, and food and drink are all counted, and it is not a small number every year.

Therefore, in addition to the coaches, there are also the main players of the team, marginal players, rookies, and staff live in double rooms.

At the beginning of the season, during the preseason, Wang Hao also lived in a double room.

However, as the official game begins, he will naturally be able to enjoy the single room treatment after he is firmly established as the main starter.

The difference in treatment between the main players and rookies is so big, otherwise why so many people are desperate?
Not only that, for example, Gary Payton, an ordinary single room is not enough, if conditions permit, it must be a suite.

Although Field is only an assistant coach, Gerani stood up very honestly.

"Oh Field, do I need to leave?"

There is a computer in Wang Hao's room, and Gerani came here to play games, which is why he refused to leave.

"It's okay, I chatted with Wang casually, mainly about the next away game?"

"Away game, is there any problem?"

Wang Hao was a little surprised. The away game naturally has something to do with him, but it's fine to play normally, so there's nothing to talk about.

"Well, actually Paul wants me to convey something to you, and I hope you will be ready next time?"

"Prepare?"

"The next away game is not easy, especially for you, people have started to pay attention to you.

Maybe you can also feel that in today's game, the digital team is very strict with you. "

Wang Hao nodded and said, "That's true, but I will try to solve their defense."

"Of course, we have faith in you and so does Paul, so we hope you have faith in yourself too.

It’s okay to perform poorly in a game, adjust the state and recover in time, this is the most important thing. "

……

After talking for a while, Wang Hao finally understood what was going on.

It turned out to be the coaching staff. They predicted that Wang Hao would encounter trouble in the future, which was to vaccinate him in advance.

The game with Philadelphia is over, and tomorrow, the Sonics will go to Washington to play another game with the Wizards.

Not just the Wizards, there will be the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, and New Jersey Nets next.

Five consecutive road trips, in which the Wizards and Cavaliers are still back-to-back.

During this period of time, it was not only a test for the Sonics, but also a test for Wang Hao.

The away trip is difficult, and Wang Hao will be taken care of in the next game.

He has maintained a very good state, and he would have been focused on by his opponents.

In addition, he is now in the limelight, and such a newcomer's limelight will always make some old people unhappy.

Physical problems, coupled with special targeting, will indeed be very troublesome, even big trouble.

Maybe it will trigger Wang Hao's rookie wall.

In fact, the rookie wall is not only related to physical fitness, but also related to the self-confidence of rookie players.

After a smooth start, suddenly encountering a hurdle, which cannot be overcome no matter what, will really make people lose confidence.

"Field, I see, don't worry, I'm full of confidence in myself.

Look well, in the next game, I will definitely keep scoring as before! "

"If so, of course it's best!"

For the next game, Wang Hao naturally knew it would not be easy, but he wasn't particularly worried.

It's not that Paul Westphal and others made a big fuss, but that they don't know Wang Hao well enough.

In the next game, Wang Hao will encounter nothing more than two problems, confidence and physical fitness.

But the question is, does his confidence come from his performance on the field?Yes, but not quite.

Wang Hao is full of confidence in himself, it's just because he has something on his body, this is the source of his incomparable confidence.

I've already played with you, if you still can't win, why don't you uninstall the game as soon as possible?

Therefore, even if Wang Hao is in poor form in consecutive games, he will not lose confidence.

As for physical fitness, I'm sorry, isn't physical fitness something that can be recovered after a night's sleep?
Hearing Field's words, Paul Westphal breathed a sigh of relief, although Wang Hao seemed a little overconfident.

However, it is better to be overconfident than to lose confidence!

Five consecutive away games are absolutely crucial to the record in the first month of the new season.

According to Paul Westphal's idea, five away games must win at least 3 games.

The Washington Wizards, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New Jersey Nets are all opponents who must score points.
