Chapter 201 That Wall
For a team on a winning streak, losing isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Losing the game will allow Donovan to better find out the current problems of the team, so that he will not be caught off guard at critical moments.In addition, the Thunder's performance at the beginning of the season exceeded its actual strength.Over time, players will have the illusion that they are really strong, so that they are blindly arrogant.Losing now is a better warning to the Thunder, let everyone calm down, carefully examine their own shortcomings, and then improve their abilities as much as possible.
Moreover, in the state of winning streak, the energy of the players has always maintained an extremely tense state.Mental lack of rest is more dangerous than physical fatigue.
Losing now is a good thing.After losing to the Raptors, the Thunder team breathed a sigh of relief.Everyone felt a lot easier.82 games in a season and you can keep winning.As strong as the Bulls and Warriors, they will still lose.
At the press conference, facing reporters' interviews, Donovan and Westbrook were very relaxed.
Reporter A: "Mr. Donovan, what do you think of the loss in this game?"
Donovan: "We really didn't play well in this game! We missed a lot of shots and didn't play a lot of tactics. But losing is part of every season. Maybe we don't lose tonight, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. Losing. It's normal! Players are not superhuman, they can't always be at their best. Everyone understands that."
Reporter B: "Coach Billy, after the winning streak is ended, will there be any adverse effects on the team?"
Donovan: "I don't think there is any bad influence. Everyone is trying their best to win. As for the result of the game, there are many unforeseen circumstances. But that doesn't affect anything. After all, we have always been on the right track. On the road!"
Reporter C: "Russell, do you think Ann's performance has a big impact on the team?"
Westbrook: "Yes! I think it has a great impact. You know, he is a scorer averaging 20+ per game!"
Reporter C: "So, Russell. Do you think An Luo is responsible for the loss of this game?"
This question obviously stunned Westbrook, who was speechless about the reporter's question.He couldn't help but shook his head and replied: "I don't know why you think this way. But what I want to tell you is that we should be grateful to Ann. We are grateful that he can help the team win continuously. But this is not his responsibility. He is only 19 years old! Still needs time to grow. I think it is entirely my responsibility to lose the game. I made too many mistakes and let the opponent get too many scoring opportunities.”
Westbrook clearly already knows how to be a leader.And it seems to be doing pretty well.
As the protagonist of this topic, An Luo is not very calm now.
After the game, he soaked in the locker room tub and forced himself to be quiet.He has to figure out where the problem is, and then find a way to solve the current predicament.
An Luo hasn't entered the bracelet space for some days.He was afraid that he would not be able to stand those temptations, and he would lose his life.
It was still the empty basketball court, and An Luo's basic attributes were displayed on the big screen.
When An Luo saw it, he understood what his problem was.
The basic attributes have not changed, it is still the same.However, in the blank space on the right side, there is a countdown timer and a piece of text that has never been seen before.
It turned out that I really hit the rookie wall.
An Luo is no stranger to this term.Anyone who watches the NBA knows that most rookies will encounter this situation.But the rookie wall that others hit was unclear, but An Luo could see it clearly now.
It's not so much a state, but a task to pass the level given by the bracelet.It does not appear randomly, but is activated when certain conditions are met.This was something An Luo didn't know at all before.
An Luo shook his head involuntarily, and sighed: "I don't know how many things I don't know about this bracelet!"
It's very easy to activate this thing, as long as the regular season score reaches 120, that's enough!An Luo doesn't know if all rookies are the same, but this requirement is really too low!
Under the condition that the rookie wall is activated, all of An Luo's offensive abilities will be sealed.Abilities like three-point shooting and fadeaway jumpers are basically useless.It won't come into play until the rookie wall is broken.
No wonder, no votes!
As for why the ability on the defensive end has not been sealed, it may be to give An Luo a chance to play and complete the conditions!
There are two conditions for breaking the rookie wall.One is to make a total of 1000 three-pointers. Of course, it is in the training game. If it is put in the game, it is definitely impossible.However, the second condition must be fulfilled in the game, a total of 10 steals of the opponent!
If you want to recover, you must break the rookie wall.And according to the reminder, after breaking the rookie wall, one of the sealed abilities will be randomly selected to increase by one level.
This is a good thing!An Luo currently has only a few offensive abilities, and if any one wants to improve, it needs a lot of vitality.Now is a great opportunity to move up a level for free!
But An Luo understood that things would not be that simple.
Taking steals as an example, 10 doesn't seem like much, but with An Luo's inefficiency on the offensive end, his playing time will also decrease accordingly, and it is still very difficult to complete.You know, he is now averaging nearly 20 steals in 2 minutes per game.
1000 three-pointers are even more difficult!Putting it before, An Luo felt that he could finish it in a day.But now, maybe 100 votes a day would be nice.After all, without the bonus of the bracelet, the hit rate must be terrible.And you can't act too hastily, you must cast in a limited amount, or you will strain your muscles, and it won't be worth it!
Of course it can't be too slow.The countdown on the screen has already started, An Luo looked at it, four days have passed!There are less than 11 days left.Looking at the Thunder's next schedule, in the next 11 days, there are still five games to play.Only one of those games is on the road; the others are in Oklahoma.An Luo has enough time to fulfill those two conditions.
In short, this rookie wall is both a challenge and an opportunity for An Luo.If you grasp it, you can go to a higher level. If you can't grasp it, you will return to the pre-liberation overnight.
Everything depends on the next 11 days!
An Luo made a simple small goal for himself.Starting tomorrow, 100 three-pointers per day and 2 steals per game.
Right now, An Luo has to deal with those chattering reporters.
