The preseason ended with an all-out win for the Lakers, who showed great competitiveness, with the Lakers at 100:500 odds to win the championship at Las Vegas casinos. Perhaps due to the influence of the ball market, the Las Vegas bookmakers are giving such odds. But many people firmly believe that the Lakers team led by O'Neal, who has defeated Jordan once, will be the biggest opponent of the Bulls Michael Jordan.

At the top of the odds is the Chicago Bulls, who are at a magical 100:100. In other words, even if the Bulls win the championship, you won't get a penny out of it! This kind of handicap is almost like the default Bulls winning the championship again, which is equivalent to not opening the market.

The odds are Seattle SuperSonics, New York Knicks, Mosaics, Indian Pacers, Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz, Atlanta Hawks, Portland Pacers, Phoenix Suns and many more.

This group of teams is considered by the Las Vegas bookmakers to be strong, and they generally have superstars and a group of excellent role players in the roster, and the size of the market will also slightly affect the market.

In the official power rankings, the Chicago Bulls still hold the top spot, with 72 wins last year, and the American media believe that this year will still be their year of league domination.

The Lakers, who are in the West, will have to overcome Payton and Kemp's SuperSonics, Olajuvan, Drexler, Barkley's Big Three, Stockton and Malone, and Sabonis' Portland if they want to reach the Finals.

This era is magnificent, the previous generation of stars is at their peak, and Kobe Bryant, their golden generation, is about to embark on a journey. New stars have made their way into the league, such as Hardaway and Hill, and the era is still dominated by Jordan.

After Bryant's preseason game, Bryant returned to his home in Philadelphia. He lacked family warmth in his previous life, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past in this life. He had some special gifts for his family.

"You kid still know to come back." Old Joe opened the door and couldn't help but shout when he saw Kobe Bryant outside the door.

"Hey, old Joe. It's not good to say that to your son. Bryant dodged Joe Bryant's push and got into the house.

"Our big star is back." Pamela gave Bryant a warm hug.

Bryant smiled happily, he hadn't felt the warmth of his parents in many years.

"Stinky boy, we played well in preseason. I think the media in Los Angeles are going to blow you to the sky, especially that Magic Johnson, tsk, tsk, all kinds of things. ”

"Daddy, isn't it reasonable for magicians to encourage their own people?"

"Don't pay attention to your father, he just wants to be your economic man and find you nothing to do? I don't look at his bear-like appearance, he is still an economic man, and he doesn't know if he is sold. ”

Old Joe blushed, "I, I'm no worse than that white boy." ”

"Rob has helped Kobe get a lot of things. He's more professional than you. ”

Joe Bryant muttered in his mouth, that's better than me, I'm better than a little kid, fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields and so on.

"Old Joe, Pelinka helped me get a couple of sideline tickets for the opening game. Do you want it? Kobe Bryant showed a killer feature, and he knew that Old Joe really wanted to feel the atmosphere of the American professional basketball game.

"Jesus is above! How many tickets do you have? ”

"That's enough for you to call those old brothers of yours."

After enjoying a moment of family warmth, Bryant flew back to Los Angeles to continue his training. He's about to take on a point guard role with the Lakers,

Harris yelled at him to hurry back to Los Angeles to practice his run-in tactics.

The point guard is the initiator of the team's tactics, a division can only be responsible for scoring, but an offensive initiator needs to take care of all aspects of the team. Kobe Bryant didn't realize until the middle and late stages of his career that a guard who only thinks about offense will make the team's rhythm messy, and how to coordinate the overall team and his own offensive trade-offs is a big science.

Another reason why Harris asked Kobe to play point guard is that Kobe Bryant's body is still a little thin at the point guard. I'm afraid that the current old oilman of the American professional basketball team will make it difficult for him to move forward. This was shown in the matchup with Dumas, where there was almost nothing Kobe could do with Dumas under the frontal attack.

At present, the league's multi-numerical guards are short and fast, but their bodies are very thin. Bryant's confrontation ability is enough for him to stay at the point guard position.

Kobe Bryant's lateral speed is keeping up with these little men, and he has the experience of Iverson, the peak of defense. And Iverson is the ultimate template for the small offensive guard that is currently popular in the American professional basketball team.

There is no problem with defense, but Kobe's recent full-court defensive tactics are difficult to use for first-class ball-keeping after treatment. Their height and speed advantages can cost the close-fitting Kobe Bryant.

Harris's defensive strategy for Bryant is to keep a moderate distance, not to be too aggressive on defense, and try to focus on offensive playmaking.

The way Harris is prepared to use Kobe Bryant is to avoid playing too long. Kobe Bryant, who is currently younger, and none of the Lakers' leadership wants to overload his body. The Lakers have time for the 18-year-old to grow up and eventually become the protector of the Lakers.

A game of about 25 minutes of playing time, 15 minutes with the starting point guard, 10 minutes leading the second team as a scoring guard.

The current usage plan is roughly like this, Harris will gradually adjust the use of Kobe Bryant during the long regular season, Kobe has endless room to grow, and Harris is willing to try various ways to make Kobe grow.

Controlling the offense was the first step, and Jordan took control of the team's offense in his first season and scored 28+6+6. Harris doesn't expect Kobe Bryant to reach the heights of rookie Jordan right away.

After all, Jordan was isolated at that time, and he had to attack and organize. And the Lakers, who have O'Neal in the lineup, have no shortage of endpoints, and what Harris wants Kobe to learn more is organizational skills and tactical understanding.

What Harris didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant had played American professional basketball for 20 years, and his understanding of various tactics had surpassed this era after experiencing many famous coaches. Harris's tactical requirements, Kobe Bryant understood as soon as he heard it, and at the same time drew inferences, which surprised Harris very much.

Could it be that he was born with a team brain, but he didn't do much in high school.

The point guards of this era are still dominated by player templates with organizations like Seystockton and Kidd as the first element. Often, very few point guards will have both scoring and playmaking.

THE LAST GUARD WHO COULD ACT AS BOTH AN OFFENSIVE INITIATOR AND AN OFFENSIVE FINISHER WAS MAGIC JOHNSON, THE ALL-TIME FIRST-TIME POINT GUARD WHO LED THE LAKERS' SHOWTIME DYNASTY. The last one was Oscar Roberson, a super player who played 30+12+11.

Will Kobe Bryant be next?
