When the Zen master came to Li Du's house, Li Du was practicing boxing, and no matter how troubled he was on the court, the habit of practicing boxing every morning would not change. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My dear, here comes Mr. Jackson." Pretty's voice made Li Du stop.

Turning around and seeing the Zen master, Li Du immediately walked over and invited the Zen master into the room, "Coach, why are you here?" ”

The Zen master smiled and said, "Lee, Kobe Bryant is injured, he wants you to lead the Lakers during his cultivation time, you know this, right?" ”

Li Du nodded, and asked the Zen master to sit down as he spoke, "The boss told me." ”

The Zen master continued, "So, what are you going to do?" ”

Shaking his head, Li Du sighed and said, "Coach, to be honest, I'm worried about this!" I don't have the absolute strength of the boss, and I don't have enough prestige in the team, so I'm afraid it's hard to lead the team! ”

The Zen master didn't answer, took the tea handed over by Prettie, and then waited quietly for what Li Du was going to say next.

Seeing that the Zen master didn't speak, Li Du had no choice but to say honestly: "Coach, I can't lead the team like the boss, but if the team needs me to control the ball, I think we should strengthen each other's cooperation in the offense, in defense, in addition to the opposition defense, the zone defense is also very important!" ”

The Zen master hummed and continued to ask, "What about the players?" Do you have any ideas? ”

Li Du hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We have actually exposed some problems last season, first of all, in the No. 1 position, Derek is a big heart, but it is a relatively weak point in normal offense and defense, and we need to strengthen the No. 1 position." Also, I actually found Pau Gasol to be a very well-rounded and good big man and also very smart, and I think we could think a little bit more about playing around him. ”

The Zen master nodded, as a player who had just entered the NBA for two seasons, it was quite good for Li Du to take these into account. And although Li Du studied under Kobe, he did not have Kobe's character of controlling the team by himself, but paid more attention to the team, which is what Zen masters or every coach likes very much.

So the Zen master reminded Li Du: "Li, it's good that you can think of this, but the Lakers still have to take you as the core for the time being, I remember that you stole Jason Kidd in your first season, you can watch more of his games, I believe you will have more gains!" ”

After the Zen master left, Li Du immediately asked Pelinka to find all the game videos that Kidd played very well for himself, and then locked himself in his home, studying and analyzing how Kidd led the team every day.

Through careful observation, Li Du found that Kidd seems to lead the team with passes, but in fact, his own attack power is also quite strong, and many of Kidd's steps and choices when breaking through are incredible, and it doesn't seem to be fancy, but in fact, he can always shake the opponent's center of gravity, so that he can break through smoothly or find shooting space.

In addition, Kidd's passing actually has a special rhythm and spin, which makes teammates very comfortable to shoot after receiving the ball, so that teammates can play stronger attacks than usual.

And then on the defensive end, Kidd's strength is actually very strong, and he often goes to top the opponent's tall interior line when he changes defenses! And under Kidd's defense, except for O'Neal, Yao Ming and other dominating insiders, other interior players don't have much to do with Kidd!

"Do I want to go straight to the opponent's inside line?" Seeing that Kidd often got triple-doubles with his excellent strength and judgment of where the rebounds landed, Li Du began to think about it.

In terms of physical talent, Li Du is much stronger than Kidd, and he basically didn't grab rebounds much in the first two seasons due to his position, but this does not mean that he won't, on the contrary, due to the habit of judging the opponent's actions in advance for a long time, Li Du is not weaker than Gasol and other excellent interior players in the judgment of rebounding. And what is better than Kidd is that Kidd's strong rebounding is more by judging the landing point, while Li Du can directly compete with interior players for rebounds with his excellent physical talent!

After the defender wins the rebound by himself, he has a great advantage on the offense and can directly launch a fast break! A lot of Kidd's beautiful passes and points are done on the fast break.

"So that's what the coach wants me to do!" Seeing Kidd grab the rebound again and again and then directly launch a fast break to score, Li Du began to understand the reason why the Zen master asked him to learn from Kidd.

Li Du has a physical talent far beyond Kidd, not inferior to Kidd's basketball sense and sensitivity to the game, he can do better than Kidd! In Kidd's way, Li Du can still lead the Lakers to victory!

Since the Lakers traded with the Grizzlies for this year's and next year's draft picks in order to get Gasol last season, the Lakers didn't have any draft gains. However, Li Du thinks that this is better, for him, who has just been forcibly promoted to the temporary boss position of the team by Kobe, it is more convenient for him to quickly familiarize himself with and master the team by maintaining almost the same lineup as last season.

For this purpose, in the preseason, Li Du played almost according to the playing time of the regular season. But it didn't work much, because apart from him, the other starters played a maximum of 20 minutes a game, and the preseason was mainly a platform to scout the substitutes.

The only good thing is that through the preseason, Li Du has gradually mastered Kidd's offensive style of grabbing rebounds and launching fast breaks, and his mastery of passing rhythm and spin has improved a lot.

Throughout the preseason, Li Du led the Lakers to an excellent record of 7 wins and 1 loss with an astonishing average of 39.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game! The loss was because Li Du did not play, and the Zen master was afraid that Li Du would break out too early and consume too much physical strength, so he forced Li Du to take turns to rest. In the games they won, the Lakers outscored their opponents by an average of 15.3 points per game, which is terrifying!

Li Du's performance began to make the media exclaim, the Lakers who lost Kobe Bryant did not become weaker, but seemed to be stronger! Under the leadership of Li Du, the Lakers have almost reached the level that the hard-to-surpass Bulls could achieve!

So some people began to say that Kobe's existence actually suppressed Li Du's play to a large extent, Li Du was originally a comprehensive and fast-improving person, but now that Kobe Bryant has lost his suppression, Li Du, a peerless genius, finally began to show his original strength, and Li Du should be the real leader of the Lakers!

It was the day after this statement appeared that Li Du received a call from Kobe: "Li, you've been playing well lately!" ”

Li Du also paid attention to the news from the outside world, so he hurriedly said to Kobe: "Boss, you won't believe those big-mouthed reporters in the outside world scribbling, right?" ”
