General: You can only see the NBA appearance unless you are in the team s locker room every day

September 26th September, General Arenas recently talked about some media people and fans who have never played in the NBA but like to talk big.

"The outside world doesn't know what the players are behind the scenes, but after they see you perform in a few consecutive games, they suddenly start talking. They try to figure out what is going on. If your performance is unstable, it leaves room for people to guess. For example, a fan who sits on the sidelines to watch games every day and sees you score 25 points in a few consecutive games, and then suddenly one or two of them perform well, he will naturally be confused. They will ask, 'What the hell happened? Why are you so poor today ? Is it because the coach or teammates have asked you to reduce the number of shots and pass more? ’. So, when the media says that your condition is down, the coach and the players say that it is not the case. They want you to pass more. They don’t know what you did in the training, nor do you know what you said in the locker room. If you shoot 35 shots in a game, there must be a reason. If the team wins, no matter how many shots you shoot, it is acceptable. But the fans don’t understand these situations, they only see the surface. "Alinas said.

"So, if you score 55 points in a game and the next game is down to 20-25 points, fans and the media will start talking. But in fact, the team is winning, and that's the most important thing. Only those who have really played basketball can understand this sacrifice. You are not in the locker room of a team every day, and you are not chatting with the coach every day, so what you see is appearance. People who have never played the ball cannot understand the sacrifices players make for the team. When your score drops, people say you are down, but they don't know you are contributing to the team," Arenas said.
