Will they be abused?

Byron Scott smiled darkly, baring his white teeth at Randall, "What do you say? ”

Randle couldn't help but shudder when he saw the head coach smile like this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Scott then exclaimed, "If you lose tonight, there will be no vacation when you go home!" Give me honest training! ”

“oh！”

“no――”

Howls echoed in the locker room.

After such a long, high-intensity, high-density continuous away campaign, after the end, it stands to reason that the team should give the players a holiday.

But Scott's ruthless decision directly made the Lakers feel hopeless in life.

Their minds involuntarily began to conjure up scenes of hard training on weekdays, endless physical training, endless shooting training, and maddening tactical training......

Randall pleaded, "Coach, don't! We've been working overtime for two weeks, but we haven't had a day off! Coach, you must not cancel our precious vacation opportunities! ”

Scott was unmoved, "A month ago, we were the top four teams in the West, but now, we can't even keep the top eight!" If you lose again tonight, we're going to be ninth!! ”

'In recent times, the team has lost in a row and I know I have a lot of responsibility as well. So ......"

Hearing that Scott seemed to be relieved, the Lakers felt that "there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".

But Scott's next words completely drove them into the abyss-

"So I decided that the next step is to increase the amount of training and increase the intensity of training!"

Scott's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the soldiers were dumbfounded.

"The team has lost consecutive games, I think it must be that we haven't trained enough and worked hard enough! So our coaching staff unanimously decided to increase the amount of training for everyone. ”

Originally, the amount of training for the Lakers was not small, and if it was going to increase, it would have to sacrifice vacation time.

This is something that some training freaks can't ask for. But more people still like to have fun and don't like hard training.

Randall stepped up again, "Coach, don't! Playing 82 regular season games in 5 months is hard enough, and we can't afford to add training tasks like this! ”

Randall pleaded so hard that he barely had a handful of snot and tears.

But it didn't work.

Scott was righteous, "For the sake of victory, for the sake of the future of the team, why can't young people suffer more?" Rest assured, our coaching staff will arrange the training volume appropriately and will not cause any harm to your body. ”

Randall cried and stopped talking.

After Louis Williams came to the Lakers this season, Randle's fun-loving nature was fully realized. He had a lot of fun with Williams, the big brother, and became more and more like a little prince in a nightclub.

However, he didn't dare to skip the team's daily training tasks. Although he was selected for the Lakers last year, he was expected to be the core of the team's future team, but this season, after Yi Feng arrived, he immediately took his place.

Yi Feng is stronger than him in everything, and he is convinced.

Although he entered the NBA a year earlier than Yi Feng, he became a little brother with peace of mind. Without the core position, Randle will not dare to play big names and not participate in the team's daily training.

During the regular season, his only fun was to follow Williams to nightclubs in addition to playing and training. But now that the coach has announced that he will increase the amount of training, the chances of being hi will be reduced accordingly.

Repeated begging to no avail, Randall could only sneer.

Not only was Randall depressed, but so was the rest of the locker room. Scott's big stick knocked them all out.

However, in the way of the emperor, it is not enough to blindly suppress, and the combination of grace and power is the king. After Scott hit the batter, he immediately took out another sweet date-

"Originally, I was planning to increase the amount of training, but I didn't start until January next year. But tonight you were disappointing, trailing the Rockets by as many as 10 points at halftime! ”

"If you keep playing like this, I guess the team will already be in the top 10 by then."

I originally planned to train in January next year, but although it's already mid-December, there is at least half a month of fun left!

Randle seemed to see the light of day, and immediately became energetic, "Coach, if we win the game tonight, will the team's additional training continue according to the original plan?" ”

Scott mused, "You can consider it." ”

Randle jumped three feet high with excitement, "Coach, we promise to win tonight's game!" ”

The atmosphere in the entire locker room also immediately became restless, and there was no lifelessness at the beginning.

Yi Feng watched Scott stir up the wind and rain from the sidelines, and couldn't help but look at him a little impressed, and "played" with a group of players in a few words.

However, he also has doubts, can the physical problems of the players really be solved by such a method?

Soon, the second half of the game began.

The starters of both sides in the second half still followed the same lineup in the first half.

Randle was very excited on the court at the start of the second half, and against Swiss Clint Capela, Randle scored two consecutive breakthroughs to score four points for his team.

At 55:61, the Lakers' trailing margin narrowed to six points.

Both times he failed to defend against his opponent's attacks, and Capela was also very annoyed.

Both he and Randle entered the NBA through drafts last year, and although Randle was reimbursed last season, it looks like Capela has one more season of game experience than Randle.

But in fact, Capela only played 12 games with the Rockets last season, averaging 7.5 minutes per game. This total of 90 minutes of game time actually does not add much game experience.

And Randle is the seventh pick, and Capela is the twenty-fifth pick, and the difference in the status of the two entering the NBA determines the team's training for them.

And the difference in the order at the time of the draft also represents the strength gap of the rookies to a certain extent. Therefore, Randall succeeded in forcing Capela twice, and it is not worth making a fuss.

The Lakers have narrowed the gap, and the Rockets will not sit on and do nothing.

The Rockets attacked, with Capela and Howard standing on either side of the box, Harden running off the ball and standing in the bottom right corner, while Ariza stood at a 45° angle on the right.

Beverley, the Rockets' point guard, held the ball and organized the offense at a 45° angle on the left side.

Capela, who was on the right side of the penalty area, covered Harden, and Harden cut to the bottom line with the cover, and Yi Feng was blocked by Capela for a while, but was not thrown away by Harden.

But then Howard on the right side of the penalty area covered Harden again, and Yi Feng was completely thrown away.

Harden shook off the wind and went around to the bottom left corner, and Beverley, who was holding the ball at a 45° angle on the left, also passed the ball at the right time. If Hibbert hadn't made a timely save, Harden would have had an open three-point opportunity.

However, although Howard's cover blocked the easy wind that pursued Harden, it did not stop Hibbert. In order to keep the team's training plan from being advanced, Hibbert also fought hard, throwing off his two long legs and making up for it.

Hibbert made up the defense in place, and Harden was a little jealous of Hibbert, who was tall and long-armed, and did not shoot the basket.

But by this time there had been a misalignment - Harden's misalignment against Hibbert, and Howard's misalignment against Yi Feng, and whichever misalignment the Rockets seized would be an excellent scoring opportunity.

Because he was worried that Hibbert would not be able to keep up with Harden, and because he was worried that Beverley, who was on the spot after passing, received the shot on the spot, Clarkson's defense was under a lot of pressure for a while. And what made him even more entangled was that Beverly actually quietly moved towards the top of the arc!

This scheming boy actually forced him to make a choice at this time!

If he had wrapped up Harden in the past, Beverley would have directly gotten an open three-point opportunity; And if he chooses to defend Beverley, Hibbert will definitely be dizzy by Harden......

In the end, Clarkson still had the mentality of "not seeking merit, but seeking no fault", and honestly looked at his defensive object.

While Beverley moved toward the top of the arc, Howard also easily grabbed the position inside and reached for the ball at Harden.

Harden originally planned to break through by himself, but seeing Yi Feng behind Howard, who was holding back his face with a flushed face but still couldn't withstand the position, Harden didn't think about it, and directly hoisted the ball to Howard.

Thinking that Yi Feng, a rookie, dared to spray trash talk to him, the long-famous first quarterback, Harden was full of unhappiness. Now seeing that he is very likely to be deflated, Harden's heart is sour, like drinking a big bucket of iced sour plum soup on dog days!

After Harden passed the ball, he began to move to the line, taking Hibbert away from the low post with him. How could he have given Hibbert the opportunity to trap Howard?

After receiving the ball, Howard first grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it high, turned his head behind him to observe the Lakers' defense. As he looked at it, he saw Randall's face flushed towards him.

Randle scored two goals at the beginning of the second half, and he was excited after all, so his face turned a little red. But as Yi Feng's younger brother, how could he see his boss deflated and indifferent?

Yi Feng misplaced Howard and would suffer 100%, so Randle, who saw this scene, didn't even think about letting go of Capela and came over to trap Howard.

How could Capela let go of this opportunity and quietly followed Randle and slipped under the basket as well.

Howard, who observed this, threw the ball directly into the air, passed the fingertips of Randle, who jumped high and wanted to intercept the pass in the air, and came to Capela's hand.

After Capela jumped up and received the ball, he landed on the ground and squeezed away Randle, who had not yet stood firm but was actively defending, and strode with both hands to dunk it.

At 55:63, Capela's dunk added two points to the Rockets, and the Lakers' trailing margin was widened again.

For the Rockets, those two points may just be the icing on the cake. But for Capela, it's two points of his eyebrows! After the dunk was successful, he was very happy to dance with his hands, just like a child.

However, Capela's joy did not last long, because his "retribution" came quickly.

Yi Feng and Randle played a block and dismantle, Randall quickly walked down after dismantling, and Capela took into account Yi Feng's powerful attack ability, so he and Ariza wrapped Yi Feng together.

But he didn't expect Yi Feng to suddenly throw the ball behind his head, Capela originally thought that he was a brainless mistake, but when he saw Randle striding with the ball, he realized that he might suffer.

Fortunately, Capela had a good explosiveness, and he avoided it in a thrilling way at the last moment, allowing Randle to vent fiercely at the basket. The rickety basket bears witness to how strong the fire in Randall's heart burns.

At 57:63, the difference between the two sides returned to 6 points.

The Rockets offense, once again taking advantage of Howard's containment on the inside.

Howard was in the left corner of the box and ready to receive the ball, Beverley held the ball at a 45° angle on the left side to organize the attack, and Harden and Ariza stood at the 45° corner and the top of the arc on the weak side, respectively.

Capela ran to the bottom corner of the weak side to open up space for Howard's singles.

Howard received the ball and prepared to play singles, and Harden and Ariza deliberately switched positions.

Howard started to play singles, and Beverley ran to the weak side to take defender Clarkson away.

Unlike the average defender, Beverley cuts to the inside rather than straight to the three-point line.

This is to look for opportunities in the process of cutting. But Clarkson's approach this time was also very smart, not to let Beverley go to trap Howard at the beginning, but to "escort" Beverley through the restricted area and come back to trap Howard.

Hibbert and Clarkson formed a trap on Howard, and Capela was interested in tangling with Randle.

In this way, the weak side of the wind alone has to defend Beverley and Harden. At this time, Harden cut inside at the right time to respond, and Yi Feng had to follow in to defend.

Yi Feng followed Harden into the interior, Beverley on the weak side formed an empty space, Howard didn't even make a back play action for the ball, and saw that Beverley in the bottom corner of the weak side would form an empty space, so the pass was also timely.

Beverley catches the ball and hits an open three-pointer.

At 57:66, the Rockets instantly stretched their lead to nine points.

Yi Feng suddenly felt that the situation was not good, although the Lakers' offense played quite smoothly, but the defensive end could not prevent the Rockets' offense, and the point difference could not be narrowed!

Judging from these offenses, the Rockets are using Howard's containment to open up the situation, but if Howard is not included, he is not a small threat on the inside.

After breaking through Ariza for a pullup jumper, Yi Feng thought of a way to deal with Howard. Although I don't know if it will work, but now that his eyebrows are burning, he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Tell your teammates a few words when you retreat and tell them what you have come up with.

Yi Feng thought of a way not to go over to the bag when Howard was playing singles in the low post; When he was about to make a move, he suddenly appeared. This places high demands on the person who implements the bag clamp, and must have a good movement speed and good anticipation ability.

The reason why Yi Feng thought of such a solution is because Howard's low-post single-player ability is not as dominant as he is on the defensive end. The steps are not smooth and skillful, and the hook hands are not very soft.

And Howard isn't a guard with a lot of vision and a good passer, and he can't suddenly switch shots to passes before he can make a shot. Even if he can switch between shooting and passing, the quality of the finish will not be much higher. (To be continued.) )
