"Alyssa, where are you?"
"Honey, I'm in Los Angeles and shopping at the Beverly Center. Are you going to pick me up?"
"no problem."
Duane had just come out of the Toyota Center and was heading home.
After learning the location of his "best partner" Alisa Dushku, he immediately drove to pick her up and help her swipe her card.
"Dear, didn't you say last night that you were going to the Toyota Center for training this afternoon? Why are you free to pick me up?"
Alyssa Dushku saw Du En handsomely taking out his wallet and helping her pay for goods worth tens of thousands of dollars, her eyes were filled with little stars.
Du En was holding a shopping bag in one hand and holding Alyssa Dushku's thin waist with the other, leading her to the car.
Put Alyssa Dushku in the car and close the door.
Du En then returned to the driver's seat and answered truthfully: "Today's training content is different from before.
It is not conventional warm-up and training, but relatively special psychological treatment.
I was so young and had no mental problems, so I naturally came back early. "
"Psychological treatment? Didn't you guys win? Who was so beaten that he needed to see a psychiatrist?"
Alyssa Dushku asked curiously at first, and then she seemed to have found some interesting topic and continued to ask.
"Who is it? Kobe or Shaq? Who else? Karl? Derrick? Since it's not you, who is it?"
Alisa Dushku wants to know, who was beaten to the point of seeing a psychiatrist?
Is the psychological quality of NBA players that bad?
It would be interesting if it was the Lakers star!
After being together for half a year, Du En naturally knows what his best partner is thinking at the moment.
I just wanted to find the media to break the news and catch the heat of the Lakers Finals.
Du En has never admitted that Alyssa Dushku is his girlfriend, and the information released to the public is just that she is a relatively close best friend of the opposite sex.
Although Alyssa Dushku was a little resentful about this, she became relieved over time.
She originally approached Du En as a female fan, and her purpose was to rub him against Du En.
Du En did not resist this, and Alyssa Dushku naturally took the opportunity to enjoy it.
But this time, Duan said that he could not be rubbed randomly by Alisa Dushku.
Du En just wants to win the championship steadily, whether it is FMVP or not.
“Alyssa, it’s not what you imagined!
This time it was just a routine mental health check-up and treatment.
During an NBA game, it is normal to receive treatment from a psychologist.
I participated in back-to-back games in the regular season before, and I also underwent a psychological examination after returning to Los Angeles.
But I am very healthy and have no psychological problems.
Others don't understand me, don't you understand me? "
As Duan said, psychological consultation, psychological examination, and psychological treatment are all normal phenomena in the NBA.
Even players at the level of Jordan and Duncan have had the experience of receiving treatment from a psychologist after or during the finals.
By the way, Duncan also has a master's degree in psychology!
Duncan's achievements in psychology are not simple!
To put it simply, Duncan played with an unnamed historical superstar for seven years with just one sentence...
However, in the 2005 Finals, in the G5 Battle of Tianwangshan, Duncan was defended by the Pistons and made 1 of 7 free throws in the fourth quarter and 0 of 2 in overtime.
In the end, it was Parker and Horry who turned the tide, defeating the Pistons by 1 point and returning to San Antonio safely.
Then, Popovich saw that something was wrong and immediately arranged for a psychiatrist to help Duncan recover his mental state.
In G6, although Duncan made 5 of 10 free throws in poor condition, it was slightly better than 4 of 11 free throws in G5.
After nearly a week of continuous treatment, Duncan completely broke the psychological shackles in G7, redeemed himself by making 5 of 6 free throws, and won another championship.
Therefore, psychological treatment is still very helpful to NBA players.
Because the Lakers management has a lot of experience in the playoffs and finals, they immediately hired a psychologist to nip the problem in the bud after playing G1 of the finals.
I have to say that the Pistons' defensive intensity is too great!
Because of the large amount of physical contact, which in turn causes a large amount of physical energy consumption, Lakers players will inevitably experience muscle soreness and physical fatigue the day after the game.
Even though Lakers players generally use technology to increase their physical recovery before game day, this is not a panacea. They will be resurrected with full blood as soon as they finish playing.
Just like when people are sick, people tend to become more irritable than usual.
After participating in a high-intensity game and feeling unwell the next day, NBA players' tempers will also become very bad.
Even some black players will suffer from various mental illnesses, hurting their teammates and the team.
The Pistons' iron-blooded defense is also accompanied by a lot of trash talk and small moves.
In a high-intensity defensive battle and a highly concentrated finals, the Lakers players' mental state will inevitably be deeply affected after the game.
Even if you rest at home, you may still hurt your family members who used to be close together.
In the past, this kind of problem was actually relatively easy to solve.
The most common form of pornography, gambling, and drugs in the 1970s and 1980s was actually to solve the negative mental impact caused by high-intensity defense.
However, with Stern's management and Magic's example, the NBA has become more formalized and scientific.
Using calming technology is actually the simplest and most effective way. However, under the leadership of Zen Master, the Lakers use meditation more and rely on their own spirit and will to overcome psychological difficulties.
In addition, the cost of hiring a psychiatrist can save much more money than directly using technology.
As the saying goes, the landlord's family has no surplus food.
Therefore, what the Lakers management arranged for the players was to invite a psychologist to help eliminate the players' psychological instability.
And then help the Lakers, who have an absolute advantage, to win the finals without fail!
"Honey, why are you in such a hurry?"
"The psychiatrist gave me two video tapes and said they could help me. I... I just want to share them with you."
"Wait, don't worry, I'll call a sister over first, I can't stand it alone!"
"Don't worry, we will still play ball tomorrow night. But I don't mind if you ask a few more people to play together."
However, before Alisa Dushku finished the call, Duan started watching the video.
At the beginning, I saw a forest and heard the sound of running water in the voice-over, which made me a little excited! Du En thought this was some big production!
But when Alyssa Dushku asked for reinforcements, she came to Du En, and then sat together admiring the forest, streams, and waterfalls...
Du En was originally very angry. After watching the video for more than ten minutes, he seemed to have entered the sage time.
It can only be said that the psychiatrist is indeed a psychiatrist. Just giving Du En a few hints, Du En knew how to find inner peace.
"What's so interesting about this?"
Eliza Dushku was very puzzled.
Du En could only say calmly: "Forests, streams, waterfalls..."
Not long after, the scene in the video changed, and we came to a coast with golden beaches, and we could only hear the sound of waves running...
After this spiritual healing of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, Duan's nervousness from participating in the NBA Finals for the first time, as well as the accumulated fatigue throughout the playoffs, were relieved to a certain extent.
Duen originally wanted to receive further treatment, but unfortunately because the Pistons' defensive intensity was too strong and the sequelae of physical exhaustion still existed, he had to reduce the intensity of confrontation and playing time in the field.
It has to be said that Du En's physical condition did not return to normal until the next day.
However, Du En's mental outlook is undoubtedly much better than before.
Time will soon come to the evening of June 8, and the Finals G2 between the Lakers and Pistons will start again at the Staples Center.
After playing G1 of the Finals two days ago, the Lakers and Pistons basically made their cards clear.
At the critical moment, the Lakers still had Duko's pick-and-roll, but the Pistons could only hope to turn defeat into victory with the help of shark-cutting tactics.
The problem is, Ben's free throw shooting is also problematic.
Once the Lakers maintain a scoring lead and remove O'Neal first, and then implement cost-cutting tactics against the Pistons, it will be Larry Brown's turn to have a headache.
Now two days later, the Lakers don't know whether Larry Brown has thought of a solution.
In short, the Lakers know their own strength very well.
As long as they can bring their overall strength to full play, the Lakers will be able to gain a certain lead in scoring in the first three quarters, relying on the triangle offensive system and the personal strengths of Kobe, Duane, and O'Neal.
In this way, if the Lakers want to win, they will not wait until the Pistons drag the game to a critical moment.
It is worth mentioning that whether it is the first three quarters or the critical moments of the fourth quarter, the roles of Kobe, Duane, and O'Neal can be interchanged with each other.
The Pistons cannot rely solely on a fixed defensive method to defend the Lakers' iron triangle, which constantly swaps roles.
Kobe and Duane's combination of with and without the ball, coupled with O'Neal's finishing at the basket, the Lakers' offensive intensity is undoubtedly far superior to the Pistons.
Once the Pistons are unable to make more progress on the offensive end, they can only stick to the mixed defense system they are good at in an attempt to win the championship with defense.
At that time, the initiative in the game will still fall into the hands of the Lakers.
The Lakers can strengthen their defense at any time and use cost-cutting tactics to disrupt the Pistons' familiar game rhythm.
You can also suddenly increase the frequency of outside or inside shots at a certain period of time to catch the Pistons off guard.
"Let's go Lakers!"
"Let's go Lakers!"
"Let's go Lakers!"
The cheers of Los Angeles fans filled the Staples Center again.
O'Neal did not disappoint the fans at the scene. He helped the Lakers get the ball from the beginning, and there was no jumping ball violation this time.
Just like G1, after Fisher got the ball, Billups stepped forward to press and defend.
Duan was forced to step forward to respond, but immediately accelerated after receiving the ball.
Because Prince was following Du En too closely, he was suddenly diverted by Du En's crotch.
Duan ran directly to the left at a 45-degree angle, one step in front of the three-point line, and pretended to shoot a three-pointer.
Ben could only let O'Neal go and save it, but Duan bowed to Buddha and turned to the basket.
At this time, only Hamilton and Roaring Sky were left in the Pistons' three-point line, but the Lakers had Kobe, Malone and O'Neal.
In a 4-on-2 situation, Duen does not need to use super giant-level organizational skills.
Du En only swayed in the half-basket area, and Ben and Roaring Heavenly Lord had to double-team Du En.
But will that stop Doon from taking the ball? Obviously not!
After Duan took off, he simply threw the ball into the sky. O'Neal immediately followed and jumped from the basket, made an alley-oop, held the ball with both hands, and slammed the basketball into the basket.
boom--
O'Neal started to abuse the basket as soon as he came up!
"Not even a no-fly zone can stop Superman from taking off!"
O'Neal quickly got off the basket and came to Duen's side to high-five Duen.
And he threw some targeted trash talk at the two Wallaces!
