One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-One. I, Old Sun, Will Soon Become a Veteran.
We have come this far, how can we not fight for the position of the number one player in the league!
This does not need to trigger any events, it must be evidenced.
Compared with getting rewards and relying on them to accomplish something, winning the first place in the league is much more important. Improving your own strength, competing for honors, working hard to complete events and get rewards... In the end, isn't that just for the sake of it? The title of a first person?
When Sun Ce understood the significance of this Western Conference Finals, he felt that this was the most important thing. The king of the conference finals, the most powerful player... were nothing compared to the top player in the competition league!
Although public opinions from all sides say that he will be the first in the league sooner or later, and public opinion is saying that even if James wins this time, he will only be the first in the league for the shortest time. But Sun Ce doesn't want to wait, he wants it now, immediately, immediately !
It's definitely much more satisfying to rush for it than to wait for the time to naturally become the first one.
Although it has nothing to do with maturity, Sun Ce has been playing basketball for so many years, and his mentality has been changing.
Just like now, although the number one player in the league will be his sooner or later, he wants to get it now. He and his team have created such a perfect opportunity for him to step into the number one position. It is impossible to think about it. "If you lose", you have to win!
The emergence of this emotion was actually because the effect of his "King of the Western Conference Finals" made his teammates more active and restless, which in turn made him more confident!
As players on the same team, it is always easy to influence each other.
…
…
The last day of preparation before the start of the Western Conference Finals is finally over.
Although they have experience, are mentally prepared, and know how to stay calm, Sun Ce and his teammates are almost impatient to wait. Finally, on the first day of the month, the game day of the first game of the Western Conference Finals has arrived!
All the preparations that need to be done have been made. In the morning pre-match meeting, the coaching staff simply emphasized the basic tactics and then asked the players to prepare on their own to reduce the pressure caused by the Western Conference Finals.
As a team leader, Paul George feels strange.
When he first entered the playoffs, he felt that the playoffs were under control. They were sure to win and would definitely win the championship.
But after the first round, we played the Warriors in the second round.
It felt like the pressure was on, and the Grizzlies clearly swept their opponents in the first round and played much more easily than their opponents.
As the second round progressed, the pressure increased, but they were clearly winning all the time.
In the second round, they once again swept their opponents to advance, and their opponents in the Western Conference Finals had to play a tiebreaker before advancing. Logically speaking, the Grizzlies played more easily than their opponents in the previous round, so they should have a psychological advantage.
However, now Paul George feels huge pressure! And this is the most stressful time in my career so far.
He didn't understand why he had such an emotion. He guessed that it might be to help Sun Ce win the title of number one in the league?
But he didn't think so. From the bottom of his heart, he always felt that Sun Ce was the strongest in the world, and when he thought of Sun Ce, he felt that the pressure became less.
Is that because they are afraid of the strength of the Lakers?
Paul George rejected the idea as soon as it came up.
When he thought about playing against the Lakers, he was excited and eager to compete with them.
If you don’t understand, then ask someone to help you figure it out! After searching for a long time, I found Sun Ce who was teasing little Gohan with Zu Ge in the lounge.
Today Lily Collins was at home with her twin siblings, while Sun Ce’s parents, Zu’e and little Gohan came to watch the game.
Little Gohan, who is just over two years old, has been very wild since he was a child. Whenever Sun Ce is not at home, he will run all over the yard... But when Sun Ce is around, little Gohan seems to be very depressed...
No, as soon as little Gohan got up, Sun Ce put a finger on his forehead and sat down on the floor.
But melancholy is melancholy, and little Wuhan likes to stay with Sun Ce, which makes Zu Ge very happy. She is obviously the one who loves this Dabao the most!
Finally, a teammate called Sun Ce away, and Zu Ge ran away with little Gohan in his arms, as if protecting his cub.
Sun Ce was used to seeing this scene. It was no secret at home that Zu'e liked children and wanted to become mothers early, and was often teased by Sun Ce's mother.
With no one left, Paul George described his current emotions and confusion to Sun Ce.
After hearing this, Sun Ce fell into deep thought - why did this guy come to ask him?
His grandson only entered the game one year earlier than Pickle. How does he know why Paul George feels stressed and anxious? Wouldn't it be better to ask Pierce, Livingston, or Blake about this?
But if you don't know the answer, wouldn't it mean that Sun, a superstar who is about to become the number one player in the league, is incompetent?
Since Paul George asked sincerely, then someone of his own generation would naturally have to be merciful and compile it... No, he should help Paul George clarify his thoughts.
Sun Ce stared seriously into Paul George's eyes and said, "Paul, I have had the anxiety you are feeling now."
"Third brother, do you also have moments of anxiety?" Paul George was surprised when he heard this. In his opinion, Sun Ce has been shining in the public eye since he entered, and he is always full of confidence. From the beginning of his career to now, he is actually Also anxious?
This question asked, why does Sun Ce feel that his image in the eyes of his teammates is a bit silly and reckless?
But this also gave Sun Ce an idea, and he responded, "Of course I have it too. I was also a substitute at the beginning, and I also had to play as a substitute behind Mike, Rudy, Mark, and Zach. When the team notified me that I was the starting point guard of the new season, I also felt anxious. I didn't know if I could do it well."
After speaking, Sun Ce paused. Paul George felt that it was a bit interesting, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, yes, that's me. I'm a little worried that I'm not doing well enough."
Originally, Sun Ce had nothing to say, but Paul George interrupted this, giving Sun Ce time to continue thinking. After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, as the season progressed more and more smoothly, I even got it in the second year, but when it came to the playoffs, I became more uneasy and more anxious..."
What Sun Ce said was more and more in line with Paul George's thoughts, and he felt that it was more and more overlapping with himself. Although he had nothing to do with him, he was in the second team and one defense this year, and he was also a big boss, but there was indeed such psychological activity as Sun Ce said.
At this moment, Sun Ce suddenly changed the subject, "But, Paul, I don't think you are afraid of the Western Conference Finals, nor are you really anxious."
This sudden denial made Paul George come back to his senses immediately. Sun Ce's sudden change of words made Paul George feel a little unconfident for a moment, unsure whether what he just thought was right.
"I'm not afraid or anxious?" Paul George asked doubtfully.
"Yes, you are not!" How could Sun Ce know whether Paul George had any fear or anxiety? This is how you fool people. You agree first, then suddenly deny at the key point, and then you can say ambiguous words.
Seeing the confused and curious expression on Paul George's face, Sun Ce knew that this matter could finally be over, and said, "You are not afraid, nor anxious, but awe of the game!
You know you are no longer the small role before, you are the core of our team, the boss! The face of our team!"
"Third brother, you are the core..."
"No! You are the core! You think so in your heart, don't you?
You want to be worthy of the role of a core player in the team with me, Zach, Klay, and Radmarcus, so you will have negative emotions about tonight's game.
You are worried that you are not doing well enough, and you attach great importance to the next game.
This is not fear, nor anxiety, but awe of the game!"
Sun Ce's conversation made Paul George dizzy. Although he didn't understand what he meant the more he listened, he just felt that it made sense!
Sometimes, when a person wants others to help him analyze a problem, he doesn't really want to hear the most correct and reasonable answer. Instead, he just needs to say something that is easy to be recognized but may not actually have any direct relationship. It's best to be ambiguous and give some room for thinking.
Finally, I will use a word that looks more high-sounding to summarize, and everything is done.
Now Paul George only remembers one sentence-I am not afraid of the game, I am in awe of the game!
In fact, it is almost the same thing, but when Sun Ce said this, it seemed different instantly.
As for what is different, who cares?
At this time, Zu Ge, who was holding Little Gohan and drinking juice in the corner of the lounge, whispered to Little Gohan, "Arthur, look, your father is looking at Paul George's eyes so seriously, your father is fooling people again..."
On the other side, after comforting Paul George, Sun Ce felt very relieved to see Paul George relieved from some anxiety.
What he said is actually his current mental journey. Although he has confidence and the conditions to achieve the most important goal at the moment, anxiety is inevitable.
And he prefers to regard this anxiety as awe of the game! Awe of the position of the first person in the league that he wants to get!
As for Paul George's emotions, Sun Ce thinks that Paul George is too positive, wants to win too much... and other side effects of the strengthened emotions.
In the previous championship years, there may have been similar situations with teammates, but at that time, there were Nash and Battier, and Sun Ce didn't have to worry about anything. But since last season, everything has begun to change. Although Paul George was pulled out to the front line this year, Sun Ce found that he had to deal with more and more things like a veteran.
When thinking of this, Sun Ce suddenly remembered that this was the end of his sixth season in his career!
Sun Ce looked at Zu Gee, who no one would find strange to carry around in his arms, and now he is tall and slender and looking forward to holding a baby... Time flies! Next season, in the seventh year of his career, he will be called a veteran!
