If there is an expression to define Hector, it is Zen attitude. The state of tranquility, calm, and serenity is his life philosophy.
Zen attitude requires detachment from one's emotions and the external environment. This detachment does not mean resignation but a desire not to be overwhelmed by one's feelings and to know how to relativize to face situations.
Establishing a mental, physical, and emotional balance but also balance in his relationships is an obligation for Hector.
Hector has several routines: 10 minutes of meditation a day and an alone moment for an hour.
Ten minutes of mindfulness meditation to get to know yourself better and avoid becoming an exclave of negative thoughts that flood the mind. It allows you to be fully aware of yourself and others at every moment. This is the basis of all meditations: simply being there in the present moment, without judgment, and welcoming all the thoughts, sensations, and emotions that come.
Taking time for yourself is always beneficial. The moment alone is the time to take stock of the day and relax the body and mind. It also serves as a general calming of muscles and the mind.
He decided to go vegetarian by drinking more water and eating nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables. For lunch, he can consume grilled vegetables with a smoothie. Would you be able to tell me if dinner is okay? More vegetables.
Contrary to what is said, it is possible to gain weight by vegetarianism. There is no impossibility of gaining weight, whatever the diet.
His good friend Harrison Barnes is also a vegetarian, and he believes it is beneficial for Hector to get into it. Even Belinda got into it.
In the NBA, there is an increase in plant-based diets among players. Everyone has reasons for gaining weight, a healthier lifestyle, or simply bluffing.
All these dietary decisions have been adjusted and reviewed this week of the All-Star break.
But the resumption of competition will take much work for Hector.
On February 21, Hector had an execrable game against Ja Morant's Memphis Grizzlies.
3pts 3reb and 3ast. He didn't make a shot; all his points came from the free-throw line. Fortunately, the Kings won the game 125-129.
He corrected the next game against the Clippers with a double-double in a 112–103 win in Los Angeles.
But after this game, he will not exceed the 10-point mark for eight games with questionable shooting percentages. That's it; the dreaded rookie wall has finally come to ring the doorbell.
The rookie wall is a drop-in rookie activity that appears around January-February in the face of the infernal pace of an NBA season.
After the euphoria of arriving in the NBA, it's time to fall back down to earth, and it's the rookie wall will remind you that you're just a rookie.
Young players unaccustomed to the sequence of matches feel tired at this time. At this point in the season, rookies have played more games than in a college season in half the time.
Ask any rookie, and they will tell you about the difficulties and physical consequences of transitioning to professional play.
But the wall sometimes has a negative impact. Once overcome, if the conditions are met, it is possible to see someone's potential.
Hector is not worried about everything; he always does what he needs to do in defense to make up for his mistakes in the attack. Despite his 33% shooting, he averages 1.5 blocks and 1.7 steals.
But then comes a massive problem for Hector.
Not a massive problem for the league? Neither.
A massive problem for the world. Even if Hector has prepared for it beforehand, hence the urgency to finish his team of full-time managers, the whole world will stop.
For real.
