Yao's diary: my conversation with Jeff

The following is the translation:

At the noon before we played Philly, Jeff asked me to talk to him. I went to his room and was really worried. I knocked on his door several times, but nobody answered. I was even more worried and didn't know what's coming. It seemed I was going to a tiger's den. After he opened the door, I realized that he just lived in a suite and the room was too big so that he didn't hear me. I sitted down and there was no tea or anything to drink. We cut directly to the main topic.

He asked me:"

What are you worrying the most now in games?"

I said:"

the turnovers."

He felt the same. Then he said:"

there are too many people telling how to play now. It has affected you dramatically. From now on, I will tell them to shut the f*u*c*k up. I will let you to play your own ball. Just play your most familiar way."

After the game with Philly, I told the coach I felt all right. I just shot too hard and lost the accuracy.

He said:"

don't worry, it will come along slowly. You just need to get the feel for a few games."

I felt I was right on track again.




ndcrossfire's words: jeff didn't say shut the f*u*c*k up. I made that up for a joke. He just said shut up.

Hope you enjoy it and sorry for my bad translation.

 

I just realized that now.

 

Thank you.
