Chapter 432 Confidence on the verge of collapse!
Seeing this news, Lin Long just remembered!
Perhaps it was because of his arrival that he had a butterfly effect, and it was not like the history that Lin Long knew. He was selected in 1999 but came to the NBA almost 3 years later, missing the best opportunity to raise the ball!
Although Lin Long knows that it's bullshit to say that roughly not being delayed will replace Nowitzki as the symbol of Dallas.
But Lin Long also believes that if he can come to the United States in the best years, his NBA career will not be so short and failed.
With the general talent and style of play, if you don't miss the ball-raising period, then it will definitely be no problem to become a main substitute and core rotation in a mid-level team!
In general, the failure of his NBA career, except that he himself spent the most lucrative years in the cba for various reasons, the most important reason is that his character is too restrained and too humble, and his English is not fluent, which makes him He can't really fit into an NBA team at all, and can only be a bystander when his teammates laugh and play.
Over time, even his teammates regarded him as an outlier, and naturally it was difficult to survive in the team.
Thinking of this, Lin Long did not hesitate, and after returning the news to Gong Luming to reassure him 31, he immediately called Routou.
The reason why he is so enthusiastic is not only that he gave Lin Long a very good feeling during the contact at the Huaxia event, but also because Lin Long thought that after the end of this season, it will be the Sydney Olympic Games!
Lin Long is not interested in Asian-level competitions, but he is very interested in Olympic-level competitions!
This summer, Lin Long will definitely come to Sydney to represent China in the Olympic Games!
Since participating, Lin Long has only one goal - to win the championship! Gold!
Other than that, all the rankings mean nothing to Lin Long.
But Lin Long also knew that in 2000, in addition to the powerful dream team, Sydney was surrounded by many powerful enemies. If you only rely on yourself and the original team of the old and the young, the Huaxia country that is in the green and yellow stage. Team, the game is bound to be extremely tough.
If you want to rank, you must improve and improve as much as possible!
Presumably the high-level officials in Huaxia also took this situation into consideration, and the emergence of Lin Long gave them a whole new outlook, so they simply let him come to the United States in the same year that he was selected. Improve yourself as much as possible!
Now that the rough is here, Lin Long will never let him be like the one in his memory, wasting his youth and wasting his peak!
Even if it is impossible to really replace Nowitzki as the core of the Mavericks.
At least get roughly squeezed into the Mavericks' rotation and become a qualified NBA player in the span of a year!
The general call was quickly connected, and the general on the other end of the phone said hesitantly, "Alin?"
"It's me, why did I come to the United States for so long, and I didn't contact me even once? It's too boring. 35 Lin Long didn't talk to the general, but got straight to the point:
"I watched your latest game video and data, what you've played recently, it's not very good!
As Gong Luming said, when he first came to Dallas, because of Nelson's recommendation, he still got some good opportunities. The head coach also gave him about 15-20 minutes of playing time at the beginning of the season. As a 2-round rookie, this treatment is not bad.
It's a pity that for various reasons, although he can play some good performances, it can't be sustained. The state fluctuates greatly. Coupled with the loss on the defensive end and the lack of tactical understanding caused by language, he gradually lost his head coach. of trust.
After entering December, he almost never even got a chance to play, and was completely pressed at the end of the bench.
That is to say, from this time on, it has roughly fallen into a vicious circle.
This is also the reason why Gong Luming asked Lin Long to call Roughly.
Gong Luming and the others were far away in China, and no matter how worried they were, they were still at a loss. After thinking about it, they found that Lin Long was the only one who could help the United States, so they called him.
"I'm not very good. Recently, the coaches have given less and less playing time, and I always feel that I can't integrate into the team. I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to improve. Lin, shouldn't I have chosen to come here? 55
Listening to the general tone of voice, Lin Long knew very well that he had entered a stage of serious self-doubt. If he could not be properly enlightened at this time, he might just give up and give up completely.
"Roughly, don't say that, you definitely have the strength and talent to play in the NBA! What you are missing is just some changes in your chances and personality! You know, the substitute players are completely different from when you were in the Bayi team. You are the absolute core of the first team, and there are opportunities to find your state and feel.
"But here, you're just a rookie trying to get into the rotation. Everything has to start from scratch. This sense of gap may be the biggest problem for you to stand in the NBA! But if you ask me, be prepared and feel free to Be prepared anywhere, and only when you can turn it on and heat like a microwave can you truly realize your talent.
After a pause, Lin Long continued: "At least in my opinion, you are no worse than that Nowitzki! Look at his starting point and rookie year data! Everyone starts from this step! Well, Seems like a super genius like me doesn't have to go through this. But it's a very rare case.
On the other end of the phone, he roughly smiled bitterly and said:
"I was about to cry just now, but your last sentence made me want to beat you up a bit. What should I do? 35
"It's easy to say." Lin Long felt that his general mood was obviously numbered, and said with a smile:
"See you at the game the day after tomorrow, if you have the skills, show us on the court! 39
"However, I may not have the chance to play."
After a joke, he roughly recalled his current situation, and once again fell into self-confidence.
"Don't worry, you just need to be ready to play anytime and anywhere, and keep your confidence and state!" Lin Long said confidently: "Then, the opportunity will definitely appear!
Hanging up the phone, Lin Long called the team's assistant coach who was in charge of exploring and analyzing the opponent's situation, and asked him to prepare a complete set of Mavericks information for himself, which he needed to look at.
"Dallas Mavericks? They're just a belly team." Assistant coach Tom didn't know why, and immediately woke up: "This is a superstar! This is why we can stand at the top of the league! Even if it's a belly ball Team, Lin Long will never underestimate them! He will fight with 100% motivation!"
Thinking of Tom here, he immediately brought up all his energy.
Quickly sorted out the detailed information of the Mavericks and sent it to Lin Long.
Until 30 years later, 72-year-old Tom Thibodeau, who has become the league's top coach, was asked how he maintained the same work attitude and diligence for 30 years.
Thibodeau still tells the story over and over to anyone who asks him.
"Lin Long, the god of basketball, called me at 8:00 am on December 17, 1999, and wanted to get all the information about our opponent, the Mavericks. The Mavericks were a complete underdog at that time! And we, we haven't lost in that season, that's the spirit that gave me the motivation and inspiration to keep me motivated all the time!
"As for the outcome of that game, we certainly targeted the Mavericks' weakness and played a perfect victory!"
