Chapter 58: McMillan is a mediocre manager
Drip!
Kobe Bryant made a foul, Zhou was walking onto the court, and Smush Parker immediately walked to the bench, thinking Zhou was on the court to replace him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Zheng smiled and grabbed him, and then said to Evans, "Man, you have to go down and sit for a while." β
Evans glanced at Zhou Zheng a little strangely: Does Little Tiger play small forward?
The Lakers restarted, and the basketball was handed over to Smash Parker outside the three-point line, and at the same time, Zhou Zheng had already run around the full half court, he almost did no off-ball running in the Trail Blazers, but in fact, his off-ball running skills were above the league level, among which the three skills of 'reverse running', 'V-word cut' and '45-degree diagonal to diagonal' can almost reach the elite level, and the baseline and curl cut are somewhat mediocre.
Smush Parker quickly handed the basketball to Kobe Bryant, who singled Cory Margeti on the left side of the 45-degree waist zone, and when he was about to fast-forward into the paint, Cassel quickly slid up and tried to steal.
Suddenly, the strong side with the ball formed a three-man defense.
Zhou Zheng hurriedly used Ratliff to cover and ran back to the weak waist area, Kobe Bryant glanced at the corner of his eye, quickly jumped up, and passed the basketball over.
Zhou Zheng received the basketball, and a little up, the defense next to him suddenly flew away. Stuffy sped into the box and handed the ball to Andrew Bynum, who put the basketball in the basket.
"Dude, you should shoot. β
Kobe Bryant walked up to Zhou Zheng with a frown, and he felt that Zhou Zheng's way of handling the ball was a little too draggy.
But he still reached out and clapped his hands with Zhou Zheng.
Anyway, happy opening.
"Little Tiger is already stronger than Lamar. Winter said to Phil Jackson.
"Nonsense. Phil Jackson muttered angrily: "Shaq traded Brian and Lamar, and now we trade Lamar and Brian for Zhou, you can see Shaq trading for Tiger." β
A small tiger equals a big shark?
Winter's mind is a bit twisted, but conceptually speaking, it's really an equivalent deal.
The basketball was quickly in the hands of Margeti, who singled out Kobe Bryant...... Kobe Bryant's defense was very tenacious, not giving an inch, and always maintaining a strong press, which made Margeti unable to find a good rhythm for a while.
Margeti wandered away at the top of the arc for a moment, took a step back, and suddenly accelerated in an attempt to use his body to run over directly, but... Burst!
Kobe Bryant actually withstood his attack...... Kobe Bryant is rarely so defensive.
Margeti is wondering...... Syllable!
A sudden attack hit the basketball in his hand fiercely, he subconsciously turned around, Zhou Zheng had already launched a rapid offensive with the basketball that originally belonged to him, and he walked towards the front court like lightning...... The aging Mobley chased after him, and finally had to stop at the free throw line and watch the tiger soar in the penalty area!
Rumble!
Another fluttering one-handed clasp.
Stamps' Lakers fans were already shouting excitedly.
It was the first time the TK duo had teamed up on the defensive end, but they looked like they had rehearsed it 10,000 times. The Black Mamba blocked the attack, and the little tiger waited for the opportunity to move to devour the opponent's attack, and then quickly counterattacked, leaving the opponent in the dust.

Kupchak on the bench stood up excitedly, waving his arms vigorously. As the architect of this deal, he feels that he is shining at this time, and the arrival of the little tiger will definitely make the Lakers great again, and he will also leave a strong mark in team history.
Magic Johnson, who was sitting in the Time Warner commentary seat, couldn't wait to stand up and close the coffin: "I announce that the strongest outside duo the Lakers have ever been born is officially born!"
Zhou Zheng walked over to Kobe Bryant with cheers and gave him a high-five: "Well done, man." β
"Next time, don't want me to make you a meat shield. Kobe rubbed his shoulder and muttered angrily, "It hurts." β
Smash Parker looked at the two 'flirting' strangely, and he felt that the end of the world might be coming early...... Is this still a black mamba with horizontal eyebrows and eyes ready to kill at any time?
The Clippers turned around, Zhou Zheng pestered Mobley hard, which made it take a lot of effort for Cassel to stuff the basketball into the restricted area, Brand singled Ratliff and couldn't throw the ball in, and Bynum protected the rebound.
Zhou Zheng's arrival activated the Lakers' defensive system, and he formed a synergy with Kobe Bryant on the outside, restricting players with the ball by a surprising magnitude...... The Clippers' two aging guards were completely crushed.
The performance on the defensive end was expected by the Lakers coaching staff, and in their scouting report, Zhou Zheng's defense was not excellent, and his single defense ability could only be said to be above the level. And now, he's showing an elite-level defensive ability, and he complements Kobe Bryant perfectly...... Kobe Bryant is like an iron gate, and Zhou Zheng is a blood drop that can't cut off his head at any time.
As for the offensive end, it was not as strong as expected.
Whenever Kobe Bryant is on the strong side of the single, although Zhou Zheng can make a very threatening run on the weak side, he doesn't seem to be used to making jumpers in the middle distance, he is more of a breakthrough or pass.
This gives the opponent's defence a target.
The triangle tactics require the axis to have the ability to 'pass and shoot' three threats in an instant, and Zhou Zheng's disadvantage of not liking shooting is as obvious as Kobe Bryant's dislike of passing.
This makes the triangle tactics idle at some point.
"Tiger, you have to shoot. Kobe Bryant ordered Zhou Zheng as the boss in the locker room.
The other players looked at each other, and they wanted to enjoy it.
Zhou Zheng scratched his head: "My hit rate is not high. β
"You're lacking in training. Kobe Bryant hated iron and said: "Starting tomorrow, I will practice 500 middle distances a day." β
Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
The rest of the players watched with envy as the two fell in love and killed each other.
"In the second half, Little Tiger went to the low post to play with his back to the single. Phil Jackson said suddenly.
What the?
His words caused an uproar in the locker room.
Let the little tiger go to the low position and eat strongly? So where does the center go?
Phil Jackson never explained his motives, he just made a quick staffing: "Kwame, Radmanovic, Kobe, Tiger, Sasha, you start the second half. β
Then he drew two circles on both sides of the penalty area on the tactical board and told Zhou Zheng: "This is your range of motion, you have to force the opponent's defenders in these two areas." β
Jackson limited Zhou Zheng's area of action, directly trapped him on the bottom line, and no longer let him interfere with the weak side.
Zhou Zheng scratched his head and thought about it, he didn't quite understand what Phil Jackson meant, this was a situation that had not appeared in training.
Winter was equally curious, and he asked Phil Jackson, "Why did you do that?"
Phil Jackson fugue, leisurely said: "McMillan is a mediocre head coach. β
