() Kobe came quickly. He came with head coach Phil Jackson. He also came with two people, Pau Gasol and Derek Fisher, who are now also in the same suit.
Training uniforms. Although I have not seen them in the locker room before, there is no doubt that they have already been here.
"Everyone, after a summer break, we meet again." Phil Jackson greeted everyone with a smile, and then said some more words, which quickly lifted the spirits of the originally listless players.
After mobilizing and adjusting the players' psychology, Phil Jackson is indeed a good player.
"Everyone, our lineup has undergone some changes this summer. We have lost some people and gained some people again. Some of you are familiar with them and have left but come back, such as Chris and Derek."
"Hi, everyone, I'm back. I guess I don't need to introduce myself to you like a rookie." Chris Mihm shrugged his shoulders and made a funny smile. He looked very happy.
, and I am indeed very happy. In any case, the environment in Los Angeles and the environment in New Jersey are completely different. There is a reason why players, whether they are top players or corner players, like to play in big cities. After being laid off by the Nets
, to be able to return to New Jersey, it is really very lucky for Chris Mihm to be able to return to Los Angeles to play, instead of traveling across the ocean to overseas leagues or hanging out in lower leagues. If not for the Lakers after the trade
They will definitely face the problem of insufficient inside personnel, and they probably won't think of re-signing Chris Mihm.
"Hi, guys, some of you are very familiar with me, and some of you are just meeting me for the first time." Derek Fisher seemed somewhat unfazed. He smiled and said: "Being able to come back again
I'm very happy about the Lakers. This is a return to my old place and a new journey for me. The good news is that we have become extremely strong now. I think we will definitely amaze the entire league this season."
Fisher's speech was unanimously cheered and applauded by the Lakers players. Fisher is originally a Lakers veteran, unlike Chris Mihm. Fisher, a defensive point guard who has always been unpretentious and conscientious on the court,
However, he is a crucial leader in the Lakers locker room. His sophistication, maturity, calmness and wisdom make it easy for other players to like him and even be convinced. In addition, he is also very popular.
Friends are all over the league. It is because of this that Derek Fisher was able to become the president of the NBA Players Association.
"Okay, in addition to the two veterans, we will also add a newcomer today." After Chris Mihm and Derek Fisher made their return declarations, Phil Jackson also made today's highlight
Moved out: "But I think if you all watched the World Championships in 2006, you will definitely not feel unfamiliar with him."
"Paul is a very talented and capable player. I believe that in the next period of time, Paul can bring us great help..."
Pau Gasol, Spain's best insider. At the 2006 Japanese World Championship, Pau Gasol and his younger brother Marc Gasol used their actual actions to tell the United States what European basketball is.
The highest level. Although the Dream Team 7 has been training for a year before this, facing the inside line composed of Pau Gasol and Marc Gasol, facing the 'bomb' Navarro and Gabayor
Sa, the American team is still defeated.
This also allowed Americans to face up to the Spanish power forward for the first time and the powerful strength he possesses.
On the surface, Pau Gasol is not an arrogant person. With his fluffy hair and beard, he looks somewhat gloomy. But it can be seen that Pau Gasol is very interested in joining the Lakers to form a strong lineup.
Sol seemed very happy and full of confidence in his performance in the new season.
There were no tasks on the first day of training. The main task was to conduct a physical examination and make detailed requirements for the players to gain and lose weight before the start of the season according to the team doctor's physical examination results. The following days were also focused on physical recovery training.
.
The program Adrian requested was completed by Ryan within the past few days. He appeared on an influential local program in Los Angeles. During the program, Adrian announced that he had no intention of transferring and leaving the Lakers.
, and gave an explanation for his disappearance some time ago. And in the show, Adrian also announced that he had told Ryan about his itinerary, and Ryan also told the Lakers management.
Such an action calmed down some waves, but also caused some additional waves, because during the show, Adrian vaguely criticized the Lakers management.
Adrian was waiting for the Lakers' reaction. The Lakers' reaction was an important basis for Adrian to decide whether to stay or go. Just as Adrian was waiting, the Lakers' reaction came.
Mitch Kupchak said in an interview that although Adrian said he was going to Jordan, he did not explain what he was going to do... In short, he was trying his best to put the shit in Adrian
The Lakers' usual method is the same as when they dealt with Kobe and O'Neal.
Adrian was sure that the Lakers had indeed considered trading him. This reassured Adrian that he had no autonomy in the matter of trading, which meant that the Lakers could trade Adrian to
Any team, as long as that team can pay enough chips to satisfy the Lakers.
This is a fate that Adrian has absolutely no control over.
So he didn't care about it.
If it's a team that he doesn't like and doesn't want to be in, the worst he can do is wait until the end of the contract period to jump out of the contract and find a team he likes to join. It's only for two or three years, and he can afford it. And
, even if the Lakers change their minds and want to keep him, Adrian is not prepared to stay.
It is a sure thing that Jim Buss will inherit the Lakers. Since Jim Buss is dissatisfied with him and even did such a thing, there is no need for Adrian to stay. Working under a boss who does not like him, Ah
Derian doesn't think he will be happy like this, and he doesn't love the Lakers very much. There is no need to sacrifice himself for the Lakers.
After realizing that none of this was his decision, Adrian felt relieved. In this way, Adrian was able to devote all his attention to pre-season training.
If Jim Bass's actions made Adrian unhappy, then what happened to the team made Adrian even more unhappy. His possession of the ball was finally deprived of him.
As the training camp progressed, Adrian could clearly feel Phil Jackson's shift in tactical focus. Phil Jackson increasingly requested to play the basketball inside to Pau Gasol.
Er, let Gasol organize the team's offensive order.
The Spaniard lived up to his coach's expectations and performed extremely well after taking control of the ball. Standing at a 45-degree angle from the free throw line, Pau Gasol was either passing the ball or shooting his own shot.
The offense is all handled soundly. At the free throw line, he can penetrate the basket with his accurate mid-range shots, and he can also pass good balls to defenders around the baseline. He can even use his flexible footsteps to play in isolation.
The defender, with his solid and flexible steps, easily bypassed the defense and put the basketball into the basket with a not-so-intense dunk.
Aside from being a little tough, he's almost a perfect point forward.
Phil Jackson also found Adrian and tried to convince him. He said that this was all for the strength of the team and the championship. Adrian simply handed over the possession of the ball, but for Phil Jackson's words,
Derian had reservations. Now that he was sure to leave, he was too lazy to continue fighting for these things.
Phil Jackson also noticed the change in Adrian's attitude. This kind of giving up the ball was not so much Adrian's understanding of the righteousness as it was that he simply gave it up.
This attitude made Phil Jackson confused. Of course he was confused. If he couldn't figure out what Jerry Buss was thinking, it would be impossible to see through it all. And Phil Jackson, although he was very smart, but
It was impossible for him to expect that his big boss was already wary of him and was even preparing to expel him from the Lakers.
Finally, after a series of team training, the Lakers have initially decided on the starting lineup for the new season.
Center: Andrew Bynum.
Power Forward: Pau Gasol
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant
Point guard: Derek Fisher.
After Pau Gasol took away the right to distribute the ball, Adrian's point guard position was also replaced by Derek Fisher, and he was instead placed in the starting lineup.
At the forward position. Although Adrian has never been able to adapt to the position of point forward, in this lineup, Adrian is not required to control the ball and act as a point forward. The real point forward is Paul.
- Gasol, while Adrian has become a pure, even somewhat traditional small forward. In terms of the team's offense, Adrian's task most of the time is in the low post, where he can display his excellent skills.
With his post-up ability and lethality under the basket, Adrian, who is closer to the basket during the offense, is also assigned the task of fighting for offensive rebounds.
At the same time, on defense, Adrian needs to take on more defensive tasks than before. In addition to defending the opponent's outside arrows as always, Adrian is now required to use his athletic ability to participate more in defense and rebounding.
