This time, the basket never refused the basketball's entry!
"How confident is this kid?" Standing on the sidelines, Isaiah Thomas felt a sense of fear, a fear he was very familiar with.
Generally speaking, after a player misses consecutively, he will think that there is a problem with his touch. Things like touch are illusory, but it does affect the player's state and performance. The average player will not hit the iron after several strikes.
After winning, their self-confidence will be hit to a certain extent, and they will be more cautious in choosing to take action, or they will hesitate when taking action. Either they will gradually regain their touch with cautious actions, or they will fall into blacksmithing - confidence is frustrated -
- Hesitation to shoot - a negative cycle with worse shooting percentage.
But there is also a kind of people whose mentality and thoughts are completely different from the previous kind of people. No matter how many times they miss a shot, their mentality will not be affected. No matter how many shots they have missed in the past, they firmly believe that they will make the next shot.
The ball can definitely be scored. This kind of extremely firm confidence does not make a player a superstar. On the contrary, it is very likely to turn a good player into a cancer. But if you want to be confident, you don’t have this domineering attitude to compete with others.
, without this kind of firm belief that you can definitely do it, and that your actions must be correct, it is absolutely impossible!
If you don’t believe it, you can check out the NBA historical scoring list yourself. You can see with your own eyes that the strongest scorers in NBA history are all on the list. Every one of the top 20 players in the NBA rankings is at the Hall of Fame level.
players.
When ordinary people strike iron, it is called forging; when such people strike iron, it is called building character!
And Adrian is obviously the latter type of person. His mentality has not been disturbed by blacksmithing at all. As for whether he will become a cancer or a superstar, it is too early to judge. Before he retires, no one can tell.
You can't make a final conclusion about a player. However, having this kind of mentality means that you have the qualifications to become a superstar. Unlike the first type of person, no matter how excellent his skills or how high his talent is, he can become a first-rate player.
Top stars are at the top and cannot take another step forward.
The experienced Isaiah Thomas knows this better than anyone else. This is how he watched a superstar rise step by step.
Adrian doesn't know the shock in Isaiah Thomas's heart at this moment. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Now the Lakers players basically understand that Adrian is not going to put the responsibility of organizing the team on himself today.
Although it is not clear what kind of stimulus Adrian received, the always calm Adrian began to score crazily after being provoked by Stephon Marbury several times, but no one wanted to play at this time.
Cut off Adrian.
This is not to say that Adrian's status with the Lakers is so high, but because his popularity with the Lakers is really good. Adrian, who has been born in two generations, knows how important popularity is.
He would always smile and say something to anyone he met. Even when dealing with Smash Parker and Chris Mihm, who had basically been reduced to the end of the bench this season, Adrian did not try to play tricks at all when he met them.
The meaning of big name.
Although this won't make Adrian gain everyone's friendship, at least it won't make people feel bad about him.
Furthermore, who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? Even a player who often hangs out on the bench and averages less than five minutes of playing time will perform well in one or two games a year and win 20 or 30 points.
Points become the team's winning factor, not to mention Adrian, as long as there are no injuries
He is almost the inevitable starting point guard for the Lakers in the next few years. He usually organizes the team's offense and defends the opponent's sharp perimeter. He scores a lot but takes very few shots. Today, since Adrian wants to take more shots
, then let him take more shots, it’s just one scene anyway.
After figuring this out, the Lakers players' playing style immediately changed. They kept covering for Adrian. The first choice to grab rebounds was to hand it to Adrian. On the offensive end, they worked hard for Adrian.
Adrian picked up the pick-and-roll and pulled out the shooting space. Vujacic even took the initiative to assume the responsibility of dribbling defender, that is, dribbling the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and then handing it to Adrian...
The whole team serves one person. Only one person in the Lakers can enjoy this kind of treatment, and that is Kobe Bryant. But that was before Adrian came to the Lakers. After Adrian came to the Lakers, Kobe received this kind of treatment.
It's extremely rare, unless Kobe's
The desire to take action is extremely strong. Unless the game has reached the final moment but the winner has not yet been decided, it will only appear when the entire Lakers team decides to believe in Kobe. Normally, even Kobe Bryant has to obey Adrian.
The organization arranges and fights according to tactics.
And Adrian has never enjoyed this kind of treatment.
He has never thought about how wonderful it feels to have the whole team serving one person.
Score, keep scoring!
At this moment, Adrian abandoned all his responsibilities and only thought about scoring, scoring, scoring non-stop, using any method to score, even taking a few three-pointers that he usually never made.
, two of four shots, a 50% shooting rate, which is not bad. This also accounts for the fact that the Knicks players did not expect Adrian to shoot a three-pointer.
As Adrian took shots again and again, scored again and again, tearing apart the New York Knicks' defense again and again. At the beginning, every time Adrian scored, the Knicks' stands would ring.
There were neat boos, but as Adrian kept scoring, the boos gradually stopped.
Walton and Brown's continuous pick-and-rolls successfully blocked a space for Adrian to shoot. Adrian raised the knife and dropped the ball, and the basketball went straight into the net.
"mvp!"
In the silence, someone suddenly shouted, which was particularly harsh in the silence.
Adrian resisted Richardson with his back, and kept lightening his steps. Feeling that Richardson's center of gravity was unstable due to his fake movements, he immediately turned around quickly, resisted Richardson's turn, and pushed
Richardson was stuck behind himself, raised his hands slightly, and easily deceived the incoming Eddie Curry with a fake move. He made a light layup and the basketball flew into the net.
"mvp!"
This time, there were more people shouting, and the sound was sparse.
At the top of the three-point line, Adrian suddenly took a step forward. Richardson quickly retreated to prevent Adrian's breakthrough, but Adrian retracted his step faster and waited until Richardson
When he realized that he had been deceived, Adrian had already pulled up and shot from the three-point line.
"mvp!"
The sound was no longer sparse, but seemed to echo throughout Madison Square.
