After the Jiashi battle, the Bucks lost the heat at home with 126-128, and the Eastern first was eliminated by the eighth 4-1, which was regarded as a super unpopular in NBA history. However, after the game, we did not discuss whether Budenholzer did not call suspension correctly, nor did we discuss why the letters did not improve in the past two years. Instead, we were discussing such a question: being “black eight”, is it a failure?
We all think it is, and it must be, but letters don’t think so. He believes that as long as it is sports, there is no failure.
The letter was very calm when explaining this point of view, which showed that he had seen great winds and waves. When he was younger, he just got the first MVP, holding the trophy in his hand, and once wept.
Before the start of the playoffs, the Bucks won the championship with the highest odds. Even under the total score of 1-3 behind, G5 still has the possibility of winning. They were 16 points ahead to enter the fourth quarter, and they were 2 points ahead in the last two seconds, but they were tied by Jimmy Butler’s desperate shot. In the last 5 seconds of overtime, they were only 2 points short, but the coach of the last attack did not call pause arrangement and the letters did not attack. Instead, the pitcher Gregson Allen hastily completed the timeout shot.
One game has a leading and backward, one game has a winning or losing, one stage has gains and losses, and one season can talk about success or failure. However, the letter says that as long as it is sports, there will be no failure.
The letter was not rude to the journalist who asked the question, but it was very sincere. He said, “Eric, you, you come to ask me this question every year. Last year, you also asked me this question. This year, you came to ask me again, so I ask you, have you been promoted this year? Is it a failure without promotion?” That’s what he said–
“Will you be promoted every year in your job? No, right? So have you failed in your job every year? Right or wrong? No. Every year you work hard and have a goal of hard work, that is to get a promotion, be able to support the family, provide them with shelter from the wind and rain, and honor their parents. For a goal, as long as you work hard, it is not failure, but on the road to success. Success cannot be achieved without this process.
“Michael Jordan has played for 15 years and won 6 championships, so are the other 9 years a failure? How are you going to answer me? There is no failure in sports, and there are always ups and downs. Sometimes you can succeed, sometimes you can’t. Sometimes it’s your turn, sometimes it’s not your turn. You won’t win all the time. This year, other teams will win, that’s all.
“From 1971 to 2021, we didn’t win a championship in 50 years. Did we fail in 50 years? No, it’s just a process leading to success. Since we can win the championship once, we can win the championship again.
“Next season we will make a comeback, become stronger, cultivate better habits and perform better. Don’t play badly for another 10 days. I hope we can win the championship.”
Does the letter make sense? Of course it makes sense. We often say that winning or losing is a common thing, but the letter means that it is impossible to talk about winning or losing sports in a row. Then we often say that we don’t talk about heroes by success or failure. Letters mean that as long as we work hard, we can’t be counted as failure. In order to encourage losers, we also say that failure is the mother of success, which is consistent with the meaning of letters. He said that your so-called failure is actually the ladder to success.
The letters seem to be right, but they seem to say nothing, just like we drank a bowl of thick chicken soup, but we didn’t eat any meat.
Yes, the letter uses “chicken soup tactics”, which successfully avoids the problem of reporter Eric.
Failure, Chinese is only two words, English is only one word, actually has three meanings:
The first layer refers to a specific victory or defeat. For example, when the Bucks lost to the heat, the ball failed; 1-3 was blacklisted, and this round of series failed; Without winning the championship, this season failed. At this level, the meaning of winning or losing is absolute, there is no middle zone, because there is no draw in the basketball game.
The second layer refers to strategic significance. For example, whether the team construction is reasonable, whether the injury is controlled, and whether the playoff lineup and play arrangements are appropriate. The reporter Eric actually asked this layer. Letters are not willing to answer this question, because as long as they answer, they will involve all kinds of people: the general manager enters and enters, the training and command of the head coach, the performance of teammates, and whether you have made efforts to make up for the short board. In the so-called least said, soonest mended, players usually say “no comment” or “next question” when answering such questions, but the letters are long-winded and cleverly avoided. It cannot be said that he is a debate talent. The letter said, Eric, I am not aiming at you personally. You also asked this question last year. I still remember that I didn’t answer at that time because I didn’t think about how to say it. Does this mean that although the stag seems to be winning the championship from the outside world, the letters have long thought that the winning opportunity is not big, and have been thinking about this issue for a long time?
There is also a layer of strategic significance: the success or failure of different teams is relative. For example, the Spurs team has been out of line-up or aging for many years. They still insist on fighting on the edge of the playoff circle. Even if they do not succeed in the playoff, we will still not say that they have failed. This year, the Spurs underlay. We think it is a strategic choice, so it is not defined as failure. However, the stag is a great success in winning the championship. The record in the regular season is the first. Don’t say that he was killed by the black eight. Even if the semi-finals and the East final were eliminated, he would also consider it a failure.
The third layer is the chicken soup in the spiritual sense. We use victory, pride, and failure to do pre-war mobilization, where to fall and where to stand up to encourage losers, and let them see the light from the development perspective of historical materialism. I was so anxious that I bit my teeth and compared failure to a successful mother. The letter bypassed the first double meaning and directly compared the mother who was won by black eight, making Eric speechless and difficult to refute.
There were only six black eight events in NBA history. I met once when I started to explain the NBA game in 1994. When the Nuggets fell behind 0-2, they eliminated the supersonic speed with 3-2 winning games in a row. Uncle Mu was lying on the ground, the excited scene of holding basketball tightly is still in front of my eyes.
In fact, this time the stag was “black eight” by the heat, which was not the biggest “black eight event” in history, because the stag only won 11 more games than the heat in the regular season. In 2007, the Warriors hacked the Mavericks and the victory gap reached 25 games. In the dark eight of the Nuggets, the supersonic speed won 21 more games than the Nuggets. In 2012, 76 people hacked the bull, because it was a shrinking season of 66 games, and the victory difference of 15 games was equivalent to 18.6.
There is no bad failure in letters. Apart from many factors such as regular season lineup arrangement and coach on-the-spot command, his waist fall injury is also a very important reason.
The G1 letter was only played at 10 minutes 50 seconds, and the first home court lost 13 points. He then missed G2 and G3 until the G3 stag lost 22 points. Seeing that the momentum was not good, the letters forced to come back with injuries and played for nearly 39 minutes. Afterwards, we learned that he had stopped the pain and insisted on fighting. The letter G5 was typed for 42 minutes, and no one believed that his waist injury had recovered by this time.
Stars don’t like to use injury as an excuse, nor will they easily blame others, such as teammates or coaches, but there are still many other letters to say. For example, his three-pointer projection, three games and three shots without a hit, until the last moment of G5, the heat was still shooting him, no hit. Since winning the championship in 2021, the three-minute hit rate of letters has not improved essentially. This year’s regular season has dropped to the lowest level in 5 years, only 27.5 percent. What is the reason? Tencent asked us to predict the championship before the playoffs. I didn’t have Meng stag because of this.
Failure is indeed a successful mother, but not every failure will become a mother.
Unless you face her directly, you are as sincere and tearful as when you held the MVP trophy.
