Chapter 26 Rookie Wall
After listening to Durant's words, Westbrook nodded. When Durant saw this, he sighed in his heart. It was true. Then he looked up at Westbrook and said seriously, "You have never encountered a rookie wall like Huang Junros and others this season. I think this should be your rookie wall. As for how to get out, except for you, no one else can help you."
How high your height can be depends entirely on how you crack your rookie wall. If you really choose to submit, then there is no doubt that your ultimate achievement is just an excellent player or a first-line star, and you can never become a superstar, because you don't have that kind of fearless spirit. You can't become a superstar.
Durant naturally didn't say this. He just thought about it in his heart. He was still very optimistic about the future of Westbrook, but some things he needed to face should be faced. Some things that outsiders could not help him, so Durant could only secretly bless Weiss in his heart, hoping to choose Choose the best way.
After listening to Durant's words, Westbrook smiled and said, "Thank you, Kevin. I won't let you down. Our goal is the playoffs. When our playoff goal is completed, our goal will no longer be the playoffs, but the championship. I believe there will be mine on the way to the championship. It exists."
After saying this, Westbrook fell directly into meditation. Although he knew that it would be very unwise to fall into meditation, he couldn't wait to fall into meditation. He wanted to break his rookie wall as soon as possible. The faster he broke it, the better it would be for his future.
The time was waiting, and a little passed. Twenty minutes later, the players on both sides stepped into the court, and Weis did not play. Originally, the head coach of the Thunder wanted him to play, but after listening to Durant's words, he decisively chose to let Westbrook stay off the court. For this, Weiss did not If there is any dissatisfaction, he naturally knows why the team left him off the court instead of letting him play, because he knows that his current mentality is not suitable for the game at all. He must complete a breakthrough in the next limited time. He has a faint hunch in his heart.
This hunch tells him that if he successfully breaks through the rookie wall, he will definitely have an essential change. After breaking through the rookie wall, he will not be a rookie. This is the feeling in his heart. In reality, he is naturally a rookie. When he breaks through the rookie wall, there is still a choice. Everyone has a choice on the road. Of course, everyone's choice is different.
For example, Kobe and Iverson's path is the same. It's both killing path, but now Iverson has transformed and is no longer a killing path. At the end of his career, he can also choose a path, and this path will usually appear when you reach the age of thirty-three. This road is a change in my heart.
James chose the all-round path. He is different from Kobe and Iverson. He is not the kind of player who scores first. James can pass the kill ball to players with better opportunities. If it is Kobe, he chooses to shoot without hesitation. This is the way of the two. The way is different, and the way to deal with the game is naturally different.
After the game, Huang Jun looked at the opponent's starting point guard who did not appear in the lineup. He looked thoughtfully at Westbrook with his eyes closed off the field and didn't know what he was thinking. He said to himself, "What the hell is this boy doing? Did he offend when he was resting just now? The head coach, and then the head coach got angry and didn't let him play?
Westbrook's personality learned a little more or less through the short game just now. For the reason he said, he thought it was very possible. In his eyes, Westbrook was such a nervous person. If it hadn't been for Durant's consolation in the first game, he would have been sent off as early as the first quarter. So he thought that what he guessed was very reasonable and reasonable.
Huang Jun never thought that the other party did not play in the game because of the rookie wall. Everyone's rookie wall is different, and Huang Jun has never experienced the rookie wall so far. Naturally, he doesn't know what's going on, so it's really reasonable for him to think so in his heart.
In the five-minute game after the second quarter, Huang Jun played better and better, because Thunder's substitute point guard was so bad that he could not be his opponent at all. Coupled with the influence of the slam dunk just now, Thunder's morale fell to a trough at this moment, so the current Thunder is not the opponent of the Cavaliers at all. He is no longer the opponent of the knight, and now he is absent from Weiss, and he is even less the opponent of the knight in terms of strength.
If Adu wants to resist the attack of Huang Jun and James, this is a fool's dream. James alone is far above the current Durant. Now Adu is far from James's opponent both offensively and defensively.
James's defense can make Durant very uncomfortable, and his offensive efficiency plummeted. Therefore, at the end of the first half, the Thunder, which was only six points behind, was 15 points behind at the end of the half. That is to say, in the five-minute absence of Westbrook, the Thunder lost nine points. .
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Thunder still did not replace Westbrook. During the half-time break, the Thunder officially announced that Westbrook would not play in the next second half. As for the reason, Westbrook suffered a little injury, so for the sake of Ann All, the team chose to let him rest. As for whether he can play in the next game, the official answer given by the Thunder is that it all depends on the degree of Westbrook's recovery.
In the absence of Westbrook, the Thunder completely collapsed in the third quarter. It was impossible for the Cavaliers to be the opponent. At the end of the whole game, the Thunder lost nearly 30 points to the Cavaliers at home. Durant and Jeff Green failed to stop the Cavaliers' outbreak in the second half.
This game is destined to go down in history, not because of the score difference, not because of the data, but because of a Chinese, that is, Huang Jun. He did what no one did. He jumped from the free throw line and completed a slam dunk. At the same time, he pulled the basket down and smashed the rebound.
