How to change clothes in the locker room of NBA?

Compared with football, the locker room in NBA is more transparent, allowing reporters to interview and take pictures. The dressing room is objectively a fashion show. NBA players pursue fashion far more than other athletes, and their luxury is comparable to that of Hollywood movie stars. Webber, the main player of Kings, said: "On the weekend of All-Star Game, you must look perfect and don't dress too casually. Suits should be coordinated with shirts, and belts must be matched with leather shoes. There is a little flaw, and a small dress mistake may be laughed at by teammates. "

The place to change clothes is also the easiest place to expose a person's personality. Take Nowitzki as an example, don't think that his messy hair and goatee are intentional, because he is sloppy. His locker was never closed properly. Peeking in, I can vaguely see a few pairs of socks, a pile of T-shirts, two or three boxes of CD boxes with separated flesh and blood, and half a pack of biscuits for the rest of my life ... On the contrary, his teammate Bradley is an extremely neat person, and several coats are neatly hung on the hook and neatly placed in the small shelf above his head. It is said that teammate Finley judged Nowitzki was not German according to his performance in the locker room.

However, the biggest use of the locker room is to maintain the stability of the team. There is a jargon among NBA managers: buy a veteran and let him be in the locker room! He will make the team perform better on the court and teach young people to become professional players faster. Therefore, the boss of each team is often a player who has entered the "twilight".

At present, about 20 teams adopt this strategy, because young and energetic boys have no patience to listen to the coach's nagging and prefer to listen to the lessons of old players. One of the most famous "locker room owners" is oakley of the Bulls. No one would have thought that Klaus had two photos of the former Bulls hanging in his old office, not Jordan's, but oakley's. Klaus said: "oakley can do all the work on the court, even better than the coach's arrangement." Oakley not only teaches young players how to play, but also teaches coaches how to direct the game. Similar to the old oakley, Mitchell of Pacers, strickland of Hawks and Richmond of Lakers. Rich Mei Sen is special. His task is to teach young bucks how to defend. However, Mei Sen has a bad reputation and likes to fight. So there is a special clause in his contract that he is not allowed to comment on other aspects of the team.

Yao Ming Rockets used young Francis as the "locker room owner", which is also a special case. After the Rockets suffered their first three-game losing streak last season and set a new low in the team's 35-year history, the players held a secret meeting in the locker room. The boss Francis lectured: "I think it is very necessary to call a meeting of the whole team." This is not an important issue. We just talked about something that everyone cares about, hoping to get rid of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible. We have only played 28 games so far, and we are not afraid to win less than 50 games. " Fu Xiao's speech made the mentality of the Rockets, who had just suffered a fiasco, return to normal, and their record gradually improved.

Dressing room rules

According to NBA regulations, if there are no special arrangements on the day of the game, the interview will be held in the players' locker room. After the game, the players entered the locker room to take a bath. During the first 10 minutes, journalists are not allowed to enter. When most of the players finished taking a bath, the door opened. At this time, most of the players only had a bath towel wrapped around their waist, and they dressed one by one under people's gaze.

In 2000, the NBA also stipulated that cameras were allowed to be installed in the locker room, so that the audience could see the activities of the stars outside the court at half time. In addition, it is forbidden to sign in the locker room, and it is forbidden for journalists to take advantage of their work to ask for signatures.
