This is not the end of the press conference. In the last six minutes of the game, Zhou Xuan had already thought of a full set of plans, ready to disturb Kobe's mood, and Gasol was even with him.

He also thought about some of the follow-up things. People like Kobe Bryant have always wanted to prove that they can win the championship without hugging their thighs, but I just won't let you get your wish. Even if you win, you have to let everyone know how strong the Lakers are on the inside, how strong their teammates are, lead the team alone, and lie to the ghosts.

The Lakers didn't get close to a salary of 100 million for three consecutive championships at that time. Wait for next season, the luxury tax paid by the Lakers can make small club owners like the Thunder and Spurs soft. This is the case, but few people bring it up. What if it is brought up? Are there still so many people who support the Lakers spending money on a championship?

Back at the hotel, old Nelson gave Chris again? Mullin made a phone call and asked him to spend some money to hype up Gasol as the Lakers' No. 1 core online in San Francisco and Oakland, and then call a meeting of key players in his hotel room.

Zhou Xuan took out all the plans, including the possible situation he predicted in the next game.

"Guys, we lost today, but it doesn't mean that we can't win in the future, it was I who temporarily proposed to the coach to have this play at the press conference, I think everyone must have a lot of questions, I will explain my thoughts now."

"Let's say, we all know that you have a lot of ideas, so you don't need to pretend to be ignorant." Jackson laughed.

In this press conference, Gasol was praised, and Kobe Bryant was definitely not happy. Other 20-year-olds would feel weird if they made such a mess, but Zhou Xuan didn't have the slightest sense of disobedience in doing this, and his teammates felt that he was abnormal.

"First of all, I want to talk about what kind of people Kobe and Gasol are. We played four games in the regular season, and the All-Star Game spoke. I've also looked up their details online. So I came to the conclusion that they are really a match made in heaven, with complementary personalities, and Kobe Bryant should decisively divorce Vanessa and marry Gasol. ”

Old Nelson snorted and smiled, "Talking about the point." ”

Zhou Xuan continued: "There is a premise for complementarity, Kobe Bryant is the absolute core, at least on the bright side. And Gasol is a low-key second-in-command, a virtuous helper. ”

Randolph, Ellis, Jackson, Marion, and Margeti all came, plus the three members of the coaching staff, and there was no intention of interrupting.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Kobe Bryant has already had an MVP and a scoring champion, so he doesn't have to care so much." But because of his personality, he actually cares a lot about honor, he can endure hardships for honor, and he can insist on high-intensity training. When it comes to the star game, he has to fight. Now his goal is clear, Finals MVP and championship. For the sake of the Lakers, he can insist on training every day, and if he fights to the point of breaking his leg, he can win for the team, and he has no hesitation. That's what makes him admirable, but he's never going to allow the Lakers' biggest hero not to be himself, do you think I'm right? ”

Jackson nodded, "I've known this person for a long time, and I'm right." ”

And Gasol, he is very docile, he will not fight for the boss, as the so-called core of every success, there is always a second leader who silently supports him and pays for him. Kemi and Humi jokingly called him Jia Soft or Jia Sister-in-law, as soon as he saw Gasol being beaten by the other party's tough insider, he scolded him, is there a second leader who can silently carry the black pot for the boss more than him? But he has a problem, that is, he does not fight. When the news comes out tomorrow, he shouldn't take this opportunity to fight for the boss, but how to take care of Kobe's mood. So in the next game, as long as there is a special person to defend Gasol, he will not always play strongly. ”

Nelson Sr. chimed in: "Makes sense. The mood of the two must be affected at this time, even if Kobe Bryant doesn't say it, he will think in his heart that he must prove that he is the boss. In the next game, I am going to arrange to guard Kobe Bryant, try to wrap the clamp, and let Bynum and Ariza shoot. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Can I continue to say what I think?" ”

"Say it." The bad mood of the old Nelson losing the game has been alleviated, and there is a newcomer who analyzes the game like this, he thinks it is a good thing, how can he say it is not good.

Zhou Xuan said: "I think the key to the next game is that Stephen, Sean, and the two big brothers must stop Kobe Bryant from scoring at all costs. If he passes the ball, he will give him an inside, and he will not be assisted by fouls, in short, he will be ugly, and then regardless of winning or losing, the press conference will continue to praise the Lakers inside. If you wrap Kobe Bryant, it is inevitable that there will be an empty inside line. Also, I want to be able to defend Kobe Bryant on the perimeter, and if he's going to go to the low post, you guys can help. It doesn't matter if you lose the next game, it's just two games and our goal is to mess them up. Of course, we shouldn't lose, I know that everyone is just underestimating, after all, they played 7 games against the Nuggets. As long as they are messed up, we will enter the finals. ”

Old Nelson asked, "Do you have any opinions?" Our goal this season is to win the title and anything that is good for the team can be brought up. ”

Several people looked at Jackson, mainly him. Marion is the No. 4 position, and Margeti's break-through ability is below the level. Ellis will not play with Zhou Xuan.

Jackson said: "No opinion, Zhou is indeed the best defensive breakthrough in the team, I am not as fast as him, and everyone is watching his progress." ”

Old Nelson smiled: "Okay, Zhou, you can play against Kobe Bryant on the outside." After blocking and dismantling, Sean should pay attention to changing defenses, and also pay attention to assisting defense on the side, so as not to let him easily get a chance to shoot, Zach, you have to pay attention to the rotation to defend Ariza in the next game, his offensive ability with the ball is average. ”

"Okay." If he goes out, Randolph will not be easy to grab rebounds, and he will admit it. This arrangement is actually to let Turyaf start to strengthen the defense on the inside.

Nelson Sr. said to Margeti and Ellis: "If the two of you are on the court together, you have to play to the advantage of singles, and in the positional battle, Corey attacks with the ball, Monta organizes, and the defense can be faster, try to play as fast as possible." That's it for today's meeting, go back and rest early, don't train tomorrow, rest for a day. ”

When he was about to go out, Old Nelson stopped Zhou Xuan and said with a smile: "Zhou, you did a good job today." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly and left the room with everyone. Old Nelson now understands what it means to be a genius, and Smart also feels that Zhou Xuan is really the kind of "natural leader" that Old Nelson said. Even if the so-called leaders of other teams can only liven up the atmosphere in the locker room and say a few words to boost morale, how can they directly make suggestions to the coaching staff and fight psychological warfare like Zhou Xuan? And his approach is all for the sake of the team's interests, and he can't arouse any objection. The proposed style of play is to defend the outside core by yourself, rather than attacking unlimited shots, how confident is this?

The next day, as Zhou Xuan expected, in addition to saying that the Lakers won, a group of people on the news were discussing who was the core of the Lakers' triangle offense.

The San Francisco media and the Oakland media all covered the game, and the tone was exactly what the Warriors had hoped for. The management has some relationship with the media, and it is easy to guide public opinion. To Zhou Xuan's surprise, the media in other places also discussed it enthusiastically.

The ESPN panel of experts got together again to discuss who is the best center in the league. Although the Lakers' starting center is Bynum, he has not played for a long time, and the person who really relies on the interior is Gasol.

Howard won the Defensive Player of the Year this year, and he is better defensively than Gasol, but looking at the offense, Gasol is undoubtedly stronger. Howard's average of 20+ per game looks good, but in fact, he averages 10+ free throws per game, and a lot of his points are scored by free throws. With four outside shooters, there are few teams that have Howard. And Howard's ability to respond is terrible, and it is not worth mentioning compared to Gasol.

Then there is the performance on the international stage, against the Rockets, Gasol has never been afraid of Yao Ming. Compared to the league's insiders, he is indeed a tough guy. Even the Chinese media say that if Gasol is seen as a center, he will definitely be in the top five or even the top three in the league. On the offensive end, he plays a role that is no less than anyone's.

Some people also take Garnett as an example, in the last Finals, the two had similar statistics, and Gasol's shooting percentage was higher. are all players who rely on jump shots, why is Gasol called a "soft egg", but Garnett is an "iron-blooded jumper"? Could it be that because of Garnett's ferocity, Gasol is too handsome after shaving?

Nelson Sr., the oldest coach in the league, said that Gasol was the core, and that was a lot of weight. It just so happened that "Zen Master" Jackson also praised Gasol, and many fans began to think that Gasol was amazing. When Gasol was in the Grizzlies, leading the team to the playoffs year after year, as soon as he left, the Grizzlies also fell and fell to the bottom for many years. Everything points to Gasol being such a great guy.

The Suns and Nuggets, who were eliminated by the Lakers before, also made some remarks. The Phoenix media have long been unhappy with the team's interior line, and they feel the team will play better if Stoudamire is not injured. Bullied by the Lakers inside in the first round, Phoenix media wrote an article agreeing with Nelson's remarks. "The Lakers are the best inside in the league, and that's too big. The average team can't defend Gasol at all, and Odom is also a super sub. ”

The Denver media put it more bluntly. "If there is no Gasol, the winner of the last series will definitely be the Nuggets, the Lakers' interior line is too strong, and the Nuggets' interior line is not weak, but compared to the Lakers, it still seems poor, and we can't think of any team in the league that can compete with the Lakers."

Attentive fans look at the lineup, and it's really true. The Lakers won three consecutive championships that year, and the twin towers of Duncan and Robinson competed with the Lakers inside. The Pistons won the championship when they also had two Wallaces against O'Neal and Malone. Now the league is scarce inside, and they are basically single-core, such as Nowitzki, Duncan, Howard and others. Even if the Nuggets are good inside, they still can't beat the Lakers. Warriors and Lakers than inside? Who is Randolph, who was he at the peak of his cancer last year? Marion is also a high-paid and low-energy cleanser who has been washed by the sun and heat.

The second game didn't start, and many basketball experts began to put forward a theory again - "Kobe Bryant is seriously overrated"!

"It's all over the news, I don't believe Kobe Bryant is indifferent, can I think of this method, am I too despicable?" After watching the news, Zhou Xuan had a smile on the corner of his mouth. They just said that Gasol was strong, but they didn't say that Kobe was weak, and if anyone thinks so, it's no wonder that he is.
