Each player has their own motivation technique. For example, “The Last Dance” showed in 2020 that Michael Jordan invented words from his opponents to motivate himself. In order to avoid any relaxation and to animate your inner fire, Jaylen Brown works differently.
While the Celtics lead 2-0 against the Mavericks, and this third round is already decisive, Jaylen Brown got it into his head that his Celtics were trailing.
Mike Malone, the Nuggets coach, or even Joe Mazzulla, his Celtics counterpart, have already made this type of speech in the past: how to over-motivate yourself when you are leading and dominating?
“For me, but it’s different for each individual, it’s almost like you have to trick your mind in a certain way,” explains the Boston winger. “You almost have to play like you’re down 0-2 rather than like you’re leading. It’s difficult to do. You have to get into this state of mind, this concentration. Rather than playing comfortably, we need to let our minds absorb it. You just have to try to stay focused and use your head as much as possible. »
Sacrifices that pay off?
In a good position to win a first title, Jaylen Brown has always made the playoffs since the start of his career in the Big League, but it has always ended in failure. Here’s another motivation for someone who has already participated in six conference finals and an NBA final in 2022.
“I am proud to always play with this fire and this passion”, says the winger. “I feel like that’s what makes me who I am, the essence of why I play and how I play. But my experiences, the pains, the defeats, all transformed into what you see now. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. »
And to get here today, the Celtics made sacrifices. The organization parted ways with Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogdon and Robert Williams III as well as several future draft picks this summer. With the arrivals of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, the collective took an even more important role, and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown saw their volume of shots reduced.
“Personally, I think it was necessary”replies the MVP of the Eastern Conference final. “Any time you want to achieve something big, it will take a little sacrifice on the part of each individual to achieve the goal. Sacrifice is necessary not only in sport, but also in life, to a certain extent, if one wants to achieve a goal. »
