Chapter 106: The Future of the Lakers
Mention Jerry? West, Caesar only knows that he created the Lakers' OK team when he was manager, and he is already qualified to be called a dynastic godfather (three consecutive championships are a dynasty). "Words * love * first * hair
Before the two met individually, Caesar always believed that the team-building ideas that the logo had championed during his tenure as an advisor to the Warriors had finally come to terms after leaving the Lakers.
However, after a long all-night talk, Caesar was surprised to find that the logo of one of the ten people who knew the most about basketball under modern basketball rules had already been born in his heart during the Lakers' shoe, and the prototype of the Warriors' gorgeous team basketball was born.
It's just that the rules before the 90s and the basketball style of Abdul-Jabbar and the Magic have already doomed the Lakers' team building idea for the next 20 years - around the inside and outside two supergiants as a double core.
However, when West saw the video of a basketball game made by Caesar with a 3D engine that was unique to Guò FFF Games, he was sparked with a fire hidden deep in his heart about the gorgeous team.
Caesar combines the best of the Spurs, Pistons, and the Warriors' defense from the 2014 to 2016 seasons in his memory bank, and the offensive part combines the Suns who make shots in seven seconds, the Spurs who are allowed to shoot after passing more than six times, and the Warriors who move the people and the ball throughout the team.
This kind of tactical system, which has been carefully selected by Caesar and fused from several typical teams with a team style of play, completely captivated Jerry at once? West, this five-man style of play, which keeps running, passing, and creating open and misplaced offensive opportunities, at least completely crushed Jordan's Bulls and Magic's Lakers in terms of visual effects.
No matter how much the United States is a country that values individual heroism, it is useless, because basketball is a team sport, and if the whole team runs like a machine and votes against the endless individual picturesque singles, the team will always win.
Ancient basketball aside, the Celtics of the Lord of the Rings Russell era are a model of team defensive basketball. No matter how strong the opposing team is, we just need to suppress the opponent with defense and score less than us.
And Jordan's Bulls are just the benchmark of superstar basketball, and what the whole team has to do is to create a single opportunity for Jordan on the offensive end in addition to doing a good job of defense.
Magic's Lakers are the prototype of team-based offensive basketball, with superstars inside and outside, and team attacks around them.
And now that Kaiser uses 3D technology to show his style of play, Jerry is directly in the way. West saw what the vague concept in his mind looked like when it reached its ultimate form.
West, who was completely ignited by Caesar's curiosity and enthusiasm for basketball, can be said to have spent the whole night in excitement.
Caesar isn't a basketball expert, though. But can't stand him better than Jerry? West has seen too many teams and tactics in advance, and he has watched many more games than West.
Not to mention the post-millennium information explosion. Although Caesar is a big step behind West in terms of actual combat experience, his insight and vision have completely exploded the other party.
The two finally formulated the Lakers' future team building policy, whether it is a draft or a trade, one is based on the player's character and ball quotient as a prerequisite, but any player who plays alone, whose style of play will destroy the team's fluidity, has a tendon when playing, and does not understand team basketball.
Of course, it is also a good choice to deliberately put it badly, get the singles supergiant seedlings in the draft, and use them as trade chips to exchange for a few more players who are more in line with the team's style.
In a word. The two came to an astonishing agreement on the Lakers' style of play and team style building for decades to come, and finally settled on Jerry? A ten-year contract from the WestLakers manager.
Of course, Jerry? The reason why West agreed with Caesar's basketball ideas is that in addition to his own ideas being strikingly consistent with Caesar's, the change of Caesar's BA rules is also the main reason why the former finally signed the contract.
In David? With Stern's support, Caesar's revised rules went into effect in the 1990-1991 season after a multi-season trial run. The rules of the BA are almost identical to those of the 2015-2016 season before Caesar's crossing.
Encourage outside offense, limit hand-to-hand combat on the inside, and the whole league will start to pick up the pace, from the inside out, to praise technical players, and players with no body but rough skills will gradually be blue-collar. Marginalization.
For example, Howard is a typical representative, he is an inside rough brother who does not have solid basic skills, and he has fallen all the way from the draft champion that every team aspires to have to Cheng Dù, who the Rockets can't sell if they want to.
In short, because of the early change in the rules, the Finals ratings like Pistons vs Spurs and Spurs vs Cavaliers will no longer appear. Of course, there will also be people who understand the ball and stand up and say that the Pistons and Spurs' seven games are the most suffocating series, and they are the clouds that basketball fans must collect......
But standing David? Stern, Caesar, Jerry? West, even ES, Fox, Nike, Adi, these individuals or the media and corporations and most of the fans. This finals, which was crowned as the lowest-rated finals in history, is not only killing BA, but even killing the entire industry chain.
If the finals are this kind of hand-to-hand combat every year, BA will be ranked at the bottom of the four major leagues in North America every year, let alone promote it globally.
However, no one could have imagined that a Spurs vs Cavaliers series popped up in '07 with a pitiful 6.2 ratings...... The records of the Spurs and Pistons can only be made for the past.
In fact, the game is not as conservative as it seems, but what is the reality? Many fans who can win it choose to watch other channels because they heard the name of Spurs.
Of course, the so-called true fans and football emperors don't care whether there is one more person or one less person to watch the finals, but for David? For the operators led by Stern and Caesar, this is an absolutely unforgivable situation.
Of course, there must be reasons for this, and San Antonio, Detroit, and Cleveland are all typical small ball markets, but they are not the decisive factor.
However, the Finals are obviously related to the ball market, but it is really not as big as many people think, in the impression, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Denver, Washington are all small ball cities, and they are all fl major league teams to grab fan resources, but if you compare the ticket price of all teams in the BA for ten seasons. You'll find that most of the above teams have more ticket prices than the Golden State Warriors.
You know, the price increase of the Golden State Warriors ticket is after winning the championship in 2014.
As for coaching, Caesar has been with Jerry? West has identified Vicky as the Lakers' coach for the new season, Jerry? The reason why West happily agreed to Caesar's request, in addition to Caesar being the owner, is more important because the Lakers have determined a new style. You have to try to use a new coach.
Veteran coaches certainly have the advantage of being experienced, but facing change. The advantages of newcomers are obvious.
Not to mention the ** Vicky assistant coach resume and Larry? Brown's praise has really made Vicky already well-known in basketball management circles, and it can be said that he has received too many impression points.
It's a pity that Vicky still needs the last leg of his experience, going to the Warriors to play for Nelson Sr., so Jerry? West will be the interim coach in the next few years.
Of course, not only is the game not ugly, but also the technical swing, and the task is not easy.
If it weren't for the old Nelson, it would be a real headache when it comes to tuning defense. Vicky is not going to be the first choice for future Lakers coaches.
So West basically agreed, and let Vicky go and learn a few more years from the old Nelson's encyclopedia of offensive tactics.
Really make Jerry? What West was concerned about was why Caesar would get the information that Vic would be going to Nelson Sr. as an assistant coach.
Larry? Recommendation from Brown himself? Why is there no rumor in the circle? You know, there are many secrets in this world, but you can't hide it from people in the same field and in the same circle. What's more, recommending a disciple to become a teaching assistant is really not a secret.
However, after questioning, all he got was Kaiser's implicit statement, "Confidential, can't say." Such a result.
As a matter of fact. As the owner, after handing over the team to the manager, it stands to reason that he shouldn't interfere too much like Caesar, but Jerry? After watching Caesar's video and talking all night, West has affirmed that Caesar is a boss who understands the ball, not just a boss with a strong desire to control. That's why he naturally made concessions on some things, and he didn't even feel it.
Even after Caesar took the initiative to point out this phenomenon, Jerry? West only smiled wryly and admitted, "I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to meet a good boss like you who can be a manager on your own and still be a good person." ”
Caesar's reply was, "We're going to have an argument in the future, but I'm sure of it." It had to be because of basketball, not some other mess. Also, in any case, I believe that we will definitely come to an agreement in the end. ”
Although no one knows what was said by both sides, the long talks were definitely a success, and both sides got what they wanted. Jerry? Vest went to catch up on sleep, and Caesar flew straight to San Antonio in good spirits.
Then, as we think, Kaiser used another disc with the same content, and used almost the same conversation to "fool and lame" the still immature **vic.
On top of that, Kessash gave Vic the promise of staying in the Lakers coaching booth if he could finish his education with Nelson Sr.
**Of course, Vicky would not bow down because of a verbal promise, but he definitely felt Caesar's sincerity and kindness, so he also said on the spot that he would seriously consider Caesar's solicitation.
In the face of such an advanced, disciplined and pleasing basketball style on Caesar's disc, Vicky said that he was not moved, which is really unconscionable.
What's more, the owner of the Lakers, a rare giant team, personally came to the door to solicit it, and if you don't know how to seize this kind of opportunity, then the success of Vicky's future generations can only be said to be a miraculous fate.
However, while Caesar was toiling for his team, his name and photo were already on the covers and front pages of major media outlets. (To be continued.) )
