Chapter 365: "meditation"

Sun Hao, went to see him at O'Neill's house.
Well, if you live next door, to paraphrase the popular Chinese language, it's a drop-in.
When Sun Hao went, O'Neill was playing golf in the yard.
O'Neill belongs to the recurrence of an old injury, and does not need to lie in bed like a fracture.
In addition to the necessary treatment methods, the team doctor's more suggestion is to let him rest.
But O'Neal still couldn't bear to be lonely.
Many NBA stars have their own hobbies, such as Hayward playing e-sports, George loves fishing, Nash loves football, Duncan loves car repair, Harden loves nightclubs and so on.
Those hobbies are almost equated with their names.
But if you want to ask about O'Neal's hobbies, there are so many that can be equated.
Such as acting, singing, being a policeman, and playing golf.
Of course you can tell more about his hobbies, because this guy is so fun.
Sun Hao knew another one today.
After the two chatted for a while, O'Neal took him to the back of his yard.
Although it is not the first time to come to O'Neal's house, this is the first time O'Neal has done so.
Then, when Sun Hao arrived, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Because in the back yard, there is a little tiger!
A special person was there to take care of him. O'Neill screamed cute when he entered, and picked up the little tiger in the past.
Sun Hao, a little confused.
He has two cats and O'Neill has a tiger?
What a big gap!
This kind of play is allowed in the United States, and it is illegal to protect animals in the country.
But looking at O'Neill playing a tiger, it is no different from playing a cat.
How about he also raise one?
But after thinking about it, Sun Hao still shook his head.
This thing is easy to get out of control when it grows up, and it is estimated that it can only be kept in a cage, it is better not to raise it.
O'Neill brought some meat to the little tiger.
The big shark feeds the tiger.
This scene looks very suitable.
Sun Hao also went up for a few strokes at the invitation of O'Neill, and the little tiger also rubbed and rubbed comfortably. It seemed to be no different from a cat!
After finishing the tiger, Sun Hao sat down and chatted with O'Neal again, and he mentioned about weight loss, which was another purpose besides visiting O'Neal.
O'Neill, it's time to lose weight.
Otherwise, even if he did not meet Riley, the toe injury would greatly shorten his career.
"Yao had previously thought of gaining weight in order to fight you, but I gave him advice. He didn't have a toe-like injury."
Sun Hao uses Yao Ming as an example.
Although the two are not the same type of center forward, they are both very heavy, which makes them encounter similar problems. This example is also very appropriate.
"Isn't he unable to guard me if he doesn't gain weight?"
But O'Neill's answer left Sun Hao speechless.
"I was in my best condition at 345 pounds. I need flesh on my body and I have to withstand the impact."
O'Neal said while shaking his head.
Obviously, he can always find a reason to lose weight otherwise, and it sounds reasonable.
Sun Hao realized that O'Neill could not be convinced by his mouth.
"Shaq, what do you like to eat?"
Sun Hao changed his mind.
"That's a lot, chicken, Caesar salad, fish, grilled chicken...but my favorite is steak, which I eat every night before going to bed."
O'Neill did not forget to wipe the corner of his mouth when he said this.
This guy looks like a foodie.
Sun Hao felt that it would be great to introduce Chinese food to O'Neill if it were not for O'Neill to lose weight.
However, what is the operation of eating steak before going to bed?
Sun Hao looked at O'Neal suspiciously.
"I have to eat five meals a day. It takes a huge amount of energy to maintain this size."
O'Neill's subsequent words silenced Sun Hao for a while.
After eating like this, it's no wonder he has his current weight.
"Then do you like to eat?"
Sun Hao then asked.
"Durian, I don't like that kind of thing the least. It's something people eat? If I see someone eating that thing in front of me, I will lose my appetite all day."
Sun Hao nodded after listening.
He already has an idea.
...
Two days later, when O'Neal missed the first game with an injury, the Lakers faced their old rival Kings.
The Kings left Divac, but Brad Miller filled up well, and they are still one of the best teams in the West.
However, Miller has worse defense than Divac, and Christie, the Kings' strongest defensive player on the outside, is also absent due to injury.
After the opening tonight, the two sides fought a battle.
As a result, Sun Hao showed off his key ball ability in the final moments, scoring consecutively to help the Lakers defeat the Kings 116-111.
Sun Hao scored 39 points, the same score as O'Neal in Game 1.
Finley scored 21 points and Juwan Howard had 17 points.
A very good start.
However, it failed to have a good continuation.
Against the Supersonics, 100 to 106.
Against the Magic, 103 to 91.
Against the Timberwolves, 99 to 110.
Against the Nets, 97 to 103.
In the 5 games Sun Hao led the team with a single core, the Lakers had only 2 wins and 3 losses.
In these five games, Sun Hao averaged 31.6 points per game, second only to Kobe in the league.
But he failed to help the Lakers win more games.
And the Lakers' opponent in the next game is the defending champion Pistons.
For them, being careless is a three-game losing streak.
After the training session on that day, Phil Jackson did not immediately disband his teammates, but greeted everyone to the video room.
Sun Hao didn't think too much.
After losing one after another, it's not wrong to look at the video analysis.
But when he arrived, he found that it was different from what he thought.
Jackson didn't even turn on the projector.
"Everyone put the chair down and lay on it."
What Sun Hao didn't expect was that Jackson made a seemingly "weird" request to them.
But Sun Hao was a little excited at this time.
When he first visited the Staples Center, he said that the chairs in this video room were a bit strange.
He was curious at the time, but Kupchak sold him a close, and he would know when it comes to the beginning of the season.
He was full of curiosity at the time, and it seemed that the answer would be revealed soon.
Strange, still going on.
Phil Jackson went to the window and pulled the curtain down.
"Close your eyes."
Then, he also turned off the light.
This team has undergone major changes in the summer. Most people have never experienced such a scene and are full of curiosity.
And shortly after the light was turned off, a faint fragrance began to float in the air, which should be the smell of some kind of plant burning.
Sun Hao lay there and smelled it. After smelling it, he felt his body relaxed a lot.
I don't know what Jackson did.
"Now, forget the environment you are in, there is no game trouble, no training trouble, you are no longer an NBA player."
Jackson then began his Zen sermon.
Sun Hao, probably also knew what Jackson was doing.
Meditation, the word that will be mentioned the most in the future is still in yoga practice.
The most well-known is yoga voice meditation, also known as Mantra, which means a set of special voices that can draw people’s minds away from various worldly thoughts, worries, desires, spiritual burdens, etc. .
In fact, the meaning of meditation and meditation are almost the same. It can also be called meditation, which is to let people relax step by step and enter an ethereal state.
The role of meditation is to help people free themselves from stress and negative emotions, thereby restoring peace of mind.
The Lakers have lost many games recently and O'Neal has been injured again. Jackson wanted to help the players relieve pressure in this way.
Jackson...Of course he didn't continue.
If he said that for the whole scene, he might have gone to be a monk in the temple.
He turned on a radio, and it began to broadcast a series of steps for people to enter a state of meditation.
Sun Hao didn't feel much at first, but because the surroundings were quiet, he couldn't do anything except follow the sound in the recorder.
And don't say it, slowly, Sun Hao's whole body nerves relaxed, and he entered a state that he had never experienced before.
There is no trouble, no joy, as if I were a dust floating in the universe.
It sounds mysterious, but it feels like that.
"Coach, I'm almost falling asleep."
But soon, a slightly funny voice broke that state.
This funny comparison is Damon Jones.
Suddenly, other people couldn't help laughing.
Although Jones has not played a lot of time since the beginning of the season, his pistachio attributes have a great influence on the Lakers locker room.
Jackson coughed, but he just smiled.
"If you want to sleep, sleep."
And what he said afterwards was unexpected.
Then there was another round of meditation.
No one spoke this time.
And gradually, there were some slight snoring sounds in the video room.
Although what Jones said just now was a bit funny, it was not a lie.
Not everyone can enter the so-called state of meditation.
If you can't get in, in such a quiet environment, you will naturally sleep.
Sun Hao fell asleep slowly.
By the time he woke up, it was already more than an hour.
Don't tell me, after waking up, he felt refreshed and uncomfortable.
This is such a good thing!
Sun Hao suddenly felt that the so-called Zen studies didn't seem to be completely useless.
In fact, it was not just him, the others looked at each other, and it was probably the same feeling as Sun Hao.
When everyone else left, Jackson suddenly stopped Sun Hao and asked him to go to the office with himself.
Sun Hao... I felt like being named by the teacher when he was a child.
Although the effect of meditation just now was very good, he still didn't really want to discuss Zen with Jackson.
Fortunately, after arriving at the office, Sun Hao found out that Jackson was talking to him about the recent difficulties of the team.
"Before you came to Los Angeles, I talked to Tang on the phone, and he told me a lot about you."
Jackson and Nelson are also old opponents in the NBA. Like many so-called "old enemies" in the NBA, they actually have good personal relationships.
It's not surprising why after the first training session, Jackson will directly explain the triangle tactics to Sun Hao.
It is something that most people cannot understand and digest without time.
"So I want to talk to you, what do you think is the current predicament of the team."
Jackson said and looked at Sun Hao.
Sun Hao was not surprised.
Jackson's questioning was definitely not just asking him. Perhaps he already had an idea in his mind, just to verify whether he was the same as the old Nelson said, or maybe someone really needs to verify it.
After all, the city of Los Angeles has far greater pressure from public opinion than other places.
If he can't get the team out of the predicament as soon as possible, the pressure from the management will be great.
People in big cities have less patience.
"Defense."
Sun Hao quickly replied.
"Why was it not Shaq's injury?"
Jackson asked rhetorically, O'Neal's injured team record has ups and downs, and most people's instinctive reaction will be that.
"Because it was not easy for us to win the game when Shaq was not injured."
The question of Sun Hao's perspective is a bit special~EbookFREE.me~ But after listening to it, Jackson nodded with a smile.
Triangular offense is a superstar singles tactic, which means that role players play a limited role in offensive singles.
Correspondingly, in order to reduce the consumption of superstars in defense, they need to make greater contributions on the defensive end.
Some people may wonder why the Lakers didn't need to defend better players at the beginning of the season.
Because the Lakers didn't.
At the beginning of the season, Malone, a veteran, has not yet opened his body. The only player the Lakers can defend on the outside is Ariza, but he is a rookie.
So in that case, Jackson used Horry and Howard to start to ensure the team's offense, and the choice was no problem.
But now, the team record has ups and downs, and the defensive problems have become more prominent, he has reached the point where he must change.
"Do you think if you start with Karl and Trevor, is it good or bad for the team?"
Jackson continued.
"I think it does more harm than good."
"How to say?"
"Although Carl's body has not yet adjusted to the best, he has excellent frame protection ability. Although Trevor lacks experience, rookies are often the most active defense."
After hearing Sun Hao's words, Jackson couldn't stop nodding his head. In fact, he thought so too.
"Even I think Chris can be used as the starting center. He moves faster than Vlad."
But Sun Hao's next words were something he didn't expect.
When O'Neal is not there, Divac has always been the starting lineup, and Sun Hao even suggested replacing him.
"But what about our score?"
Jackson then asked.
"I."
Sun Hao's answer this time is concise and simple.
Although he is not as paranoid as Kobe came from, he has never lacked self-confidence.
