After a night of decadence, the old Phil Jackson came back again. To be precise, calling it a comeback is not appropriate, because Phil Jackson, who had made up his mind to a certain extent, showed seriousness and enthusiasm that were not common before.
Stern. When Vujacic was given a lap penalty by Phil Jackson without a word because he was late due to a traffic jam, everyone was surprised to find that Phil Jackson actually had such a serious side.
He cares about team discipline, but he is not as picky as Larry Brown. He pays attention to the team's daily tactical training, but he does not pay attention to it like Chuck Daly because of the game.
A negligible tactical error by Isaiah Thomas caused the whole team to stop training, and they lined up to watch how he yelled at Isaiah Thomas. But today, Phil Jackson seemed to be planning to combine these two famous names.
It means that the 'advantages' of being handsome are shown in oneself.
Phil Jackson's weird attitude and performance made most inexperienced players tremble with trepidation. At the same time, they no longer dare to be careless about daily training. The Lakers' training efficiency has improved rapidly. At the same time, Phil Jackson is
There were also some changes in tactics.
"If Ed is easy in the low post, give him more of the basketball." Phil Jackson said to Fisher during a tactical arrangement: "Ed's post-up attack can be more effective."
If he can compress the opponent's defense well, as long as he can score in the low post, our offense will be easier."
Although Phil Jackson explained it this way, the experienced Fisher immediately smelled it. Phil Jackson wanted to give Adrian more power.
But then...
Glancing at Kobe very carefully, he found that Kobe was listening carefully. Fisher swallowed all the words he thought. A team only has 85 to 95 times in a game.
times, the pace of the game is faster. For example, the Sun Warriors may have more than 100 shots in some games. Strong defensive teams like the Spurs average around 80 shots per game.
.
That is to say, on the premise that there are no major changes in the overall tactics. The number of shots for the entire team is almost fixed. If Adrian's number of shots increases, it means that the number of others' shots will decrease. He is the corner
SE players are still the kind of corner players who rarely make plays. They have very few plays, and Bynum also has few plays. Moreover, many of his plays are secondary attacks after grabbing offensive rebounds, which is obviously not the case.
It will not reduce his rights. Adrian is the starter, and it is impossible to compete with substitute players. Then the only people who can reduce his rights are Kobe and Gasol...
"It's still so complicated..." Fisher sighed inexplicably in his heart. The reason why he wanted to return to the Lakers was not only to allow his daughter to receive better treatment, but also to miss his days with the Lakers.
I miss the feeling of being in a strong team and winning a championship.
But the complexity of the Lakers began at that time. Until this time, the Lakers have not become even a little simpler...
In the midst of this intense, orderly and a little weird training and preparation, the flames of war in the regular season finally started.
The Lakers' first game of the new season is at home, which is good. It avoids the pain of having to go to the away game at the beginning of the game. The opponent for the Lakers' first game is not so popular. The opponent for the Lakers' first game is against the Celtics, Lakers and even
The Houston Rockets have undergone a transformation this summer just like the Mavericks!
The changes in the Rockets this summer are huge. He took over the Rockets' coach in the second half of 2003. This summer, Rockets owner Alexander abandoned the head coach he had had for four years and hired Rick, who had just left the Kings.
-Adelman. I hope Rick Adelman can use his Princeton tactics to make the Rockets' offense beautiful and effective.
In the summer transfer market, under the guidance of Rockets general manager Morey, they signed All-Star level and best defensive player Ron Artest at an almost insignificant price.
They also gained a lot in the summer draft. In the draft, they signed Argentine power forward, Luis Scola, who will be known as the "Diamond" in the future, and Aaron Brooks. And another European player, the Greek
Spanoulis left the Rockets to return home to Europe after a failed and dull season.
In addition, in the trade market, the Rockets re-signed old player Steve Francis, traded Howard for Mike James, and used a future draft pick and part of the cash to acquire Carl Rand.
and signed a two-year non-guaranteed contract with pocket-sized Harris. Another pocket-sized big man, Chuck Hayes, also signed a new contract with the Rockets.
Among these transactions, the most important arrival is Artest. Although this 2004 Defensive Player of the Year has been criticized for his fiery temper and various trouble-making moments, no one doubts his strength.
, who came to the Rockets one year earlier than in history, he is also very likely to achieve higher results in the Rockets than in history. After all, this year's Yao Ming is his strongest year in history.
From the perspective of the lineup, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Ron Artest, plus Sean Battier, a bunch of role players, and Luis Scola
This super potential stock, the Rockets' lineup is no worse than the Lakers.
And this year, the Rockets will inevitably become one of the Lakers' main competitors!
This year's Western Conference, with the Spurs, Rockets, Lakers, Jazz, and the unpredictable Mavericks, if they want to advance to the finals, a brutal fight is inevitable.
For the Lakers' first game of the regular season, Lakers fans showed great enthusiasm for support. Twenty thousand tickets were sold out, and the venue was packed. The entire Staples was filled with cheers and screams. The atmosphere was compared to the post-season atmosphere.
The game seems to be getting even more exciting.
"Ed, it won't be that easy for you to beat us this time." Before the game started, Tracy McGrady found Kobe Bryant to chat. While they were warming up, Yao Ming walked up to him calmly.
Next to Derian, his face was filled with a smile, and he was obviously very satisfied with the team's enhanced strength.
"Really?" Adrian tilted his lips: "I think it will still be easy for me to score on you."
This topic makes Yao Ming a little embarrassed. Although after O'Neal gradually showed his age and was on the verge of retirement, Yao Ming was touted by some as the number one center in the league. But to be honest, he is indeed number one in the league in terms of offensive power, but what about defense?
, it’s time to say hello with a big greeting.
In short, his offensive power is indeed the best in the league. Although it is not as unstoppable as O'Neal's in his heyday, now that centers are becoming increasingly scarce, and those who can grab rebounds and have a mid-range shot can challenge tens of millions of annual salaries.
His offensive power, his low-post offense, his mid-range shooting, his turnaround jump shot, skillful small hook and solid steps at the basket are second to none in the league and stand out. Even his ability to pass inside is also outstanding.
Still, with his style of play and Van Gundy's tactics, averaging two assists per game is already a rare thing.
But when it comes to defense, his slow movement, short arms, and excessive weight make him infinitely powerful in low-post attacks, but it also causes him to have almost no bounce and slow movement... A lot of problems have made his defensive ability poor.
He can only be regarded as the second-rate player in the league, far from the first-rate level. Although his height is still a bit of a deterrent when defending, and although he can sometimes put on a good hot pot performance, this is not the same as the first-rate level.
One of his nicknames is the same as "Moving the Great Wall", which is both good and useless.
Seeing that Yao Ming was a little embarrassed, Adrian was about to say, "I was just joking" to lighten the atmosphere. At this moment, a rough voice suddenly inserted into the conversation between the two: "But now you want to
It’s not easy to score against him, because you have to get through me first.”
Ron Artest.
Although this guy has a reputation for being ferocious and has a typical thug figure, in terms of appearance, he is not ugly, with a bit of a brutalist vibe. In terms of appearance, he can be rated seventy points, especially
When he smiles, he looks a little charming.
"You should say this to him." Adrian pointed at Kobe Bryant, who was talking to Tracy McGrady: "He is the main attacker."
"Don't try to lie to me, I will never be as careless as last time!"
Adrian was stunned for a moment before he realized that Artest had scored thirty points on him last season. That was the first time Adrian scored more than thirty points. He almost
I had completely forgotten about it. I didn’t expect that Artest would still be upset about it, but it’s right to think about it. He was the best defensive player, and he was scored thirty points on the head by a rookie. It would be weird if he couldn’t remember.
He couldn't help laughing: "Then you have to be careful. My hands have just been heated in the microwave, and they are now frighteningly hot."
"Don't worry, I will put you in the refrigerator and freeze it." Artest couldn't help but laugh. This guy is not difficult to get along with. Although he has a hot temper, he is also a relatively simple guy.
Adrian turned to Yao Ming and said: "You have a good chance this year, but it's a pity that we collide in the same year."
