lakers championship

Chapter 254
The Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Warriors is about to start, and the whole world is watching. Tianyang's harsh words are outright big news. The tabloid reporter was ecstatic, and immediately took out his mobile phone, "Do you have the guts to say it again?".

Tianyang knew that he was recording, but he didn't mind, and repeated again: "The Lakers will beat the Warriors!".

After finishing speaking, Tianyang turned around and left. The Lakers players shouted excitedly and agreed to beat the Warriors. A group of people boarded the bus to the hotel in a mighty manner.

When Tianyang got in the car, just as he sat down, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that Wharton had sent a text message.

"During the playoffs, try to avoid such a high profile, otherwise it is easy to cause problems."

After reading the text message, Tianyang was very pleased.Walton is a good coach. He felt that there was something wrong with the players' practices. He didn't point it out in public, but warned him privately. He didn't use the tone of a lesson, it was more like sharing experience.

Tianyang also knew that in the past, Wharton would never talk about this matter, but his performance today is very different from the past.Before that, his high-profile was only aimed at himself, such as saying at the rookie conference that he would bring the Lakers, the last in the Western Conference, into the playoffs, but this time his high-profile was aimed at others.

"I want to cheer up my teammates, the most direct and effective way of ridicule," Tianyang replied quickly.

"Okay, your goal is to win, that's totally fine." Wharton immediately understood.

To be honest, the Lakers played against the Warriors with 3 wins and 1 loss in the regular season, with a superior winning percentage, but the two teams only played a tough battle once, and the other 3 games were all leading by a large score. The game entered garbage time early and lacked reference.

Meeting the Warriors again in the playoffs, the Lakers will be a little panicked. After all, the experience and mentality of the Warriors' four kings are much more sophisticated than the Lakers.As soon as I got off the plane, Tianyang could see that, especially Randall, the whole person was in a tense state, and it must be difficult to perform in the official game.

Just when the tabloid reporter provoked him, Tianyang had an idea to come up with this strategy to strengthen the psychological hints for his teammates.

In competitive competitions, inner hints are particularly important. Once there is a situation where you think you can't beat the opponent, you will definitely be defeated, and it will be even more difficult to rebuild your self-confidence.

But it's definitely not enough to just sarcastically, Tianyang also prepared a further plan.

……

Like the previous two rounds of the series, after the Lakers arrived in Oakland, they voluntarily gave up using the Oracle Center for training. They spent a lot of extra money to temporarily rent a training room in the local area, which can avoid media interference and not be affected by the time of use.The training equipment is more abundant and may not be used, but it is in case of emergency.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 3rd, the Lakers began regular training.

First, they warm up each other, then concentrate on running tactics, and finally practice shooting and dribbling in a scattered manner.

In the blink of an eye, it was 6 pm, and the routine training was over. Wharton beckoned for the Lakers to gather together, said a few words, and left time for Tianyang.

Tianyang walked to the front of the crowd, looked up and looked at everyone, and said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate all of us. We defeated the Rockets and Spurs 4-0 in two consecutive rounds and entered the Western Conference Finals. Our record is like launching , all the way from the ground to the sky, it's amazing."

After the words fell, all the players nodded excitedly and gave each other high-fives to celebrate. Tianyang and Ingram went to the stadium for extra practice after defeating the Spurs before. The team didn't even cheer together.

"The day after tomorrow is the Western Conference finals. Our opponent is the Warriors, a team that no one or any team dares to say is sure to win. I know that there may occasionally be a thought in your mind, that is, it has come so far and the results are gratifying enough. Even if it fails, the fans won't care."

Speaking of this, Tianyang stopped and inspected the eyes of the players again. Except for Ingram and Nick Young, everyone else dodged a little, as if they were afraid of being seen through their inner thoughts.

"This kind of thinking is a natural reaction, and it's normal. I think this way occasionally, and there are countless reasons, such as this is my first year as a rookie, the Warriors have 5 All-Star players, and the Warriors have the first record in the regular season. Lose. But my mind tells me I don't have many chances."

After this passage, all the players pricked up their ears, wondering why there were not many opportunities.

"We all know that Kobe has played for the Lakers for 20 years, but do you know how many players have only played in the NBA for less than one season? According to statistics, the average career length of NBA players is 1 years, and only one playoff game is held every year. There's only one championship."

"If we lose the game this year, we have to wait for next year. In one year, there are too many changes, so many that the Lakers can go from being the championship in 10 years to being swept in the second round of 11, and so many that the Mavericks can go from being swept in the second round of 11. The championship turned into being swept in the first round in 12, so much that the Heat can go from being a championship in 14 to being unable to enter the playoffs in 15."

"We must avoid this kind of thing from happening to us. The best way is to do our best. We must not give up our efforts just because the opponent is too strong. In China, a famous military scientist said that 1 years is too long, as long as Fight for the day and night. From now on, I hope everyone will stop having any worries."

Tianyang said three paragraphs in one breath, and did not use the word 'fear', in order to prevent all possible wrong psychological hints.It took about 1 minute for all the players to react.

Nick Yang was the first to respond: "Well said! Now we must do our best!"

Cousins ​​patted his chest: "I can't guarantee anything else, it's okay to beat Pachulia and West!"

Ingram nodded: "Everything is possible. We grow faster than the Warriors because we are talented and hardworking, and our luck is very good. There is no need for self-doubt."

Randall clenched his fists: "I was worried at first that I was overly responsible and afraid of making mistakes. Now that you have said this, I feel much more relaxed. When the game starts, I will just keep the same mentality as before."

After Randall finished speaking, Tianyang finally understood why he was nervous.

As a player who can defend big and small, under the Warriors' pass-and-cut system offense, Randall must bear a series of responsibilities for changing defenses, replenishing defenses, and assisting defenses.

As far as the two games against the Spurs were concerned, all kinds of big-name fans came to watch the game. It can be said that it was the attention of the whole world. If there was a mistake at the last minute, it would definitely bear the endless anger from the fans.

"Well, let's go to Oracle tomorrow. I'll temporarily simulate the offense of Durant and Curry, so that you can familiarize yourself with it first. When the game starts, you will have a general idea in your mind." Tianyang thought of a way temporarily.

"Are you going to teach me how to defend?" Randall smiled. Before Tianyang shared defensive secrets, he and Ingram learned together, but the effect was not very good. He hoped that this time he could hold the class alone.

"No, you made a mistake. I want to blow you up and let you lower your expectations to the lowest. When you face Durant's fairy balls, you won't be so dazed."

After Tianyang finished speaking, all the players roared with laughter, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a solution.

Expectation starts from the lowest point, and it will only get better and better in the future, and it will be easier to inspire strength.

"If you really want to learn some other defenses, I'll call and ask He Dou to come to Oakland. Anyway, he has nothing to do now. It's better to come to the team as a trainer. He can teach skills and restore his shape. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. "
