Zhu Fangyu paused and continued:

"About the defeat of self-confidence, the most typical example is postman Malone's 'weekend postman doesn't go to work'."

"The Jazz and Bulls Finals G1 happened to be Sunday. Malone, nicknamed Postman, scored points in a row at the last moment. With 7.5 seconds left in the game, the two sides tied at 82. And Malone had to execute two free throws. Once the penalty was made, it was possible to kill the game."

"But when he was free throw, Pippen, who was the opponent, said in his ear, 'The postman doesn't go to work on the weekend', and Malone's psychology changed. He missed two free throws and was eventually defeated by Jordan. He also lost the championship because of this."

"It was because his confidence was defeated in that game. Since then, every time he came to a critical moment, his free throws were not accurate. Because every time he made a free throw at a critical moment, Pippen's words 'The postman doesn't go to work on weekends' would always sound in his mind."

"And now, Hachimura Shu has this trend."

In the next two minutes, until the end of the first half, Hachimura Shizuki failed to score another point.

In fact, there were two opportunities in the middle.

But every time he seemed very hesitant.

NBA's game, opportunities are fleeting.

When he was so depressed, he lost his chance to get out of his cell phone.

In the end, the ball can only be passed out.

Because he was hesitant to play here, the smoothness of the ball was affected.

The Wizards' offense was as if they were constipated.

In the end, at the end of the first half, the Lakers led by 11 points.

Wang Yi didn't feel very good in the first half.

Two of five shots were made, only 5 points were scored.

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was relatively relaxed.

James patted Wang Yi's butt and said:

"Wang, you did a good job. Continue in the second half."

Caruso said while taking off his sneakers:

"That Hachimura was very arrogant at the pre-match press conference. Wang has responded to him."

The other players also nodded and congratulated Wang Yi.

Wang Yi put on the bandage on his ankle again and said like a joke:

"This is just the beginning."

It seemed like a joke, but only he knew, that's what he thought in his heart.

Losing confidence in beating your opponent?

This is far from enough.

He wants to fight to make his opponent desperate!

Make your opponent never dare to be arrogant in front of him again!

Let the opponent take a detour in the future!

He remembered a famous saying from a fat man who couldn’t play basketball: Don’t let them live!

At the same time, in the home team's locker room.

The atmosphere of the team seemed a bit dull.

Hachimura Shizuo even lowered his head and sat there silently without saying a word.

Bill kept clapping his hands to cheer the team up.

"They are not scary!"

"LeBron is no longer that king, he is old. There is no player in the Lakers who can show off except him."

"We just need to defend LeBron and let him pass the ball, and we will win half of it."

Westbrook reminded:

"Their No. 1 also played well, we have to be careful of him."

Bill shook his head:

"He just played three good goals. His three-pointers were no longer so sharp in this game. I have noticed that he only scored 5 points in the first half. Even if he scored 10 points in the second half, as long as other players didn't open it, we can easily defeat the Lakers."

Westbrook wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't say it.

Instead, he turned his head, pressed Hachimura's shoulder and said:

"Take your momentum in the second half and show the momentum you once scored 30 points."

"You have to remember that he is just a poor short contract player. And you are a star player who scored 30 points. He is a poor maggot in front of you! Do you understand?"

Hachimura nodded subconsciously.

His eyes that had been dim before seemed a little brighter.

When he came back from the third quarter, the Wizards' first attack was still handed over to Hachimura Shizuo to fight.

This time, Hachimura finally arrived at an open space through a pick-and-roll.

He didn't hesitate anymore, he raised the basketball high, and the person was already jumping and was about to take action.

But at this moment, Wang Yi suddenly bypassed the Wizards player who was covering Hachimura and rushed towards Hachimura.

Hachimura Shizuki felt a thud.

It seemed like a cloud passed by in my heart.

In a panic, he did not dare to take action again.

Turn around and look for the outside players.

But in his vision, there was no outside player in the open position.

After such hesitation, others have fallen.

Wang Yi took advantage of his whereabouts and swung his left hand around, and bang-

A big hat hits the head and face it!

"oh--"

The audience immediately shouted in unison.

The commentator on the scene also exclaimed:

"Oh-no, he blocked Hachimura again!"

"As the Wizards' home commentator, I hate his blocking. But from an objective perspective, I have to say that his blocking ability is too strong."

"Official information shows that he is only 1.92 meters tall, but he has such outstanding blocking ability, which is really rare. This reminds me of Wade."

"I turned to his data from the last game. He actually... Oh my god, he actually got 10 blocks in the last game! Incredible!"

On the field, Hachimura's eyes that had just lit up dimmed again.

Seeing this, Wizards Brooks frowned tightly.

In the first round, the little courage that Hachimura had just plucked up was beaten away again.

This won't work.

It doesn't matter if you lose this game, but you must not let the players lose confidence.

While he has not completely lost confidence, he must build up his confidence again in this game.

Thinking of this, he took advantage of the dead ball to replace Hachimura.

Hachimura sat back on the bench, still lowering his head, his eyes were dull.

Coach Brooks took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.

Hachimura took the water blankly, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank it woodenly.

Coach Brooks said:

"Hamura, have you forgotten what you said before the game?"

"You said you would beat him up! You should teach him a lesson for your seniors! You should teach him a good lesson. Have you forgotten all this?"

Hachimura's eyes leaped slightly.

Coach Brooks continued:

"You have to think about it. If you can't do it and you're beaten up by him, how shameful it would be? What would your country, your people, your relatives and friends think of you?"

Hachimura's eyes began to flash.

He held the mineral spring bottle's right hand and had already tightened a little.

The mineral water bottle was moaning loudly in his hand.

Coach Brooks saw that his words worked, and Hachimura was already motivated.
