Kobe: "Being a rookie is so frustrating!

Just help the old guys carry their bags and buy food. If you want to play well, you have to take care of so many things!"

Kobe, who was a star among the stars at Lower Merion High School, has not yet fully adapted to the change in status.

Wang Dazhi: "When you could score 30 points in every game, your farts were all truth, but now you don't even have the qualifications to speak."

Wang Dazhi briefly explained Kobe’s current situation in a straightforward and popular way.

Kobe: "Understood! Let's practice, brother!

For our farts to become the truth!”

Kobe picked up the ball, rushed in and dunked.

In the team training session in the afternoon, coach Delmar Harris only arranged simple recovery training.

In the training session after the training, coach Delmar Harris announced that when Shaquille O'Neal is not on the court, the pick-and-roll tactics of Kobe Bryant and Wang Dazhi can be appropriately increased.

NBA head coaches will provide general direction for players' playing style, but rarely specifically guide players on tactical details. These things are done by assistant coaches.

Since the coaching staff has definitely increased the pick-and-roll tactics of Kobe Bryant and Wang Dazhi at the suggestion of Shaquille O'Neal, Larry Drew also made an appointment with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to specifically coach the two men's pick-and-roll skills.

Since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is only a consultant and does not follow the team every day, the special training for Wang Dazhi and Kobe Bryant was arranged after the afternoon training, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also rushed over from home.

As for Larry Drew, as assistant coaches in the NBA, they all have a very heavy workload. Accompanying the players for additional training is only the most basic part. There are only four mentors and apprentices left in the gym.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "King, your hook attack has improved a lot. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort in training, which makes me very happy."

Arriving at the training hall, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar first affirmed Wang Dazhi's progress.

Wang Dazhi: "The media have reported it, saying that I am your closed disciple. How can I live up to your reputation in the world if I don't make a name for myself?"

Wang Dazhi praised himself and his teacher.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "The media likes to write about these things. The reason why I teach you is entirely because I receive a salary from the Lakers. If the Bucks double my salary, I won't mind bringing my talents to Milwaukee.

Wang, you know, your talent is above average at the NBA level, but your mouth can make you an All-Star.

If I train with you, at least I will be in a good mood!

You and Kobe were beaten so hard by the Utah Jazz that you wanted to learn their tactics?"

Jabbar twisted his waist, stretched his arms, and rolled his neck.

Wang Dazhi: “It’s all arranged by the coaching staff, it’s all arranged by the coaching staff!”

Wang Dazhi did not dare to blame himself for this matter.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "I watched the game against Utah. Although I fell asleep during garbage time, I still heard Erwin's funny voice on the TV. He kept saying that although he was far behind, he was still

Wang and Kobe did not give up. They kept playing pick-and-rolls to regain the game.

After a disastrous defeat in this kind of focus battle, Coach Harris is not in the mood to ask you two rookies to practice new tactics at the last minute!"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar exposed Wang Dazhi's background mercilessly, and what he wanted to express was already obvious.

Wang Dazhi: "At least today Coach Harris agreed to increase our pick-and-roll tactics!"

Wang Dazhi could only laugh and avoid talking about the core issues.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Perhaps in the most critical games, your mouth is more threatening than your shooting.

Those are not my worries, come on, let’s start training.”

Jabbar said thoughtfully.

Wang Dazhi was relieved, but Kobe was already impatient.

Larry Drew followed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's instructions and took out two obstacles and placed them at the top of the arc at the three-point line.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Kobe, what do you think is the core of the pick-and-roll strategy between you two?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not put forward his own ideas, but asked Kobe first.

Kobe Bryant: "Dazhi creates cover space for me, and I get space to shoot or break through to attack."

Kobe replied emotionlessly.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Okay, in this case you don't have to refer to Malone and Stockton's playing styles.

Because you and their pick-and-roll core are completely different things. Larry, can you tell me about the pick-and-roll offense of the Utah duo."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the kind of consultant who is very good at guiding others. He explains things in a very hierarchical manner.

Larry Drew: “In the pick-and-roll cooperation between Karl Malone and John Stockton last season, Karl Malone accounted for 52% of direct attacks after receiving passes, and 100% of Karl Malone’s passes after receiving the ball.

5 out of 5, John Stockton's own offense accounted for 23%, and John Stockton passed the ball to others for 20%."

Datacaster Larry Drew accurately reported the distribution of ball rights in Utah's double pick-and-roll.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "You're amazing, Larry. I suggest Jerry pay you more!"

The Utah duo mainly attacked Karl Malone in the pick-and-roll, and Malone had a lot of fake pick-and-rolls. Malone ran halfway and immediately ran back, then received Stockton's pass and hit the basket.

This kind of cooperation extremely tests the passing ability of the ball player. It is difficult for you to reach that level, Kobe. You are a natural attacker. It is impossible for you to pass the ball like that.

Kobe, you said, you want to use Wang's screen to attack directly, which requires Wang to have a very, very solid screen to block your defender.

However, Wang's body width and strength make it difficult to set up a high-quality pick-and-roll, which also makes Wang's simple pick-and-roll very ineffective.

This is why Coach Harris didn’t ask you to pick and roll often before. How do you think this situation should be changed?”

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's analysis enlightened Wang Dazhi and Kobe Bryant, and they both realized that they did have many problems.

Wang Dazhi: "I must make myself stronger!"

Kobe: "I want to improve my passing ability!"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "When will you be as strong as Malone?

When will you be able to pass the ball as accurately as John Stockton?"

Jabbar tortured the souls of the two brothers, and the brothers were suddenly speechless.

Larry Drew also looked at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, wondering what good advice the legendary superstar could give.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "If you two want to create a deterrent cooperation that can change the opponent's defensive strategy, you must maximize your personal advantages.

If Wang Dazhi covers Kobe, the opponent's little man will definitely rush over him like crazy.
