o be beaten in the small ball era.
Each generation has its own version of God, and so does the NBA.
So what Russell shared was not his experience of success, but just experience.
Or to be precise, it should be a team concept.
“You know with Michael’s kid’s ability, I don’t think it’s a problem for him to score 50 or even 60 points every night, but he will only score 30 to 40 points because he knows that the game is more than just one night. It’s a long season, and he needs his teammates.”
What Russell said next was similar to what Sun Hao thought.
And he used himself and Jordan as examples, with an underlying implication: the team concept is a necessary condition for completing more championships or dynasties.
“I understand, thank you, William.”
Sun Hao benefited a lot.
His scoring role has become more and more important this year with the Lakers, and it can be expected that it will be even more important next season.
That’s great for him personally, but not necessarily for the Lakers.
Russell’s experience sharing is a bit like Jordan’s former college mentor Dean Smith’s training of Jordan.
“Ding, congratulations on triggering the hidden mission ‘Expectations of the Lord of the Rings’.”
Mission description: Bill Russell regards you as the greatest player of this era, and expects you to become the same existence as Jordan.
Mission requirements: Complete two consecutive championships.
Mission reward: Silver-level “Ten Cents” badge.
Oh haha!
Sun Hao didn’t expect that an exchange with Russell would trigger a hidden mission.
This is really a life full of surprises!
The “Ten Cents” badge should not be too familiar to him as a 2K player.
This is a badge that increases the success rate of passing and improves the shooting percentage of teammates!
And it’s directly silver level!
And this badge comes at the perfect time!
After O’Neal publicly announced that he was the boss of the Lakers, his proportion of controlling the ball in the playoffs has increased.
It is foreseeable that this proportion will only increase in the following seasons.
This may be why Russell shared this experience with him.
Just like the mission description, Russell hopes that he can become the same existence as Jordan. To do that, he must always have the concept of a team.
Of course, having a concept and being able to do it are two different things.
This reward is aimed at this goal!
Of course, winning two consecutive championships means this hidden task is also very difficult.
But again, there is a challenge only when there is difficulty.
After seeing Sun Hao’s reaction, Russell knew that Sun Hao had listened, and he smiled happily.
“By the way, I heard that Shaq and you are neighbors?”
Russell suddenly asked again.
“I wonder if this guy is awake now.”
Sun Hao nodded.
“I want to pay him a visit,”
Russell continued.
Sun Hao was a little curious. Russell was very active this year.
But maybe it’s just as the system said, Russell expects him to become a player like Jordan, and na
