Chapter 280: The Problem of the Century, Can't Be Answered (5000 words, ask for subscription, monthly pass)
Ha!?
A birthday present?
In Los Angeles, after hanging up the phone with Su Feng, Kobe Bryant decided to block Su Feng for a while.
Because in the opinion of the witty Kobe, Su Feng called him to ask for a birthday present......
This is clearly reminding himself that he has already taken a step ahead of himself and won the honor of NBA Player of the Month, okay?
No love.
Completely out of love.
Thinking of his behavior of being by his side last summer because he was worried that Su Feng would be in a bad mood after being "relegated" to the north, Kobe Bryant felt quite stupid.
All right......
To be honest, Kobe Bryant has been really sour lately.
Because before the start of the season, in Kobe's mind, the next NBA, not surprisingly, should be his time.
However......
In this shrinking season, the Lakers, who started with 6 wins and 6 losses, are now about to be crooked.
And if there is no comparison, then Kobe Bryant may not be so uncomfortable.
However, just as the old Bass is also entangled in the issue of changing the coach......
In the new season, the Raptors who came out of nowhere are undoubtedly the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the heroes.
Whether it is Jordan who is still unwilling to hand over his authority, or Su Feng who is climbing to the top, or the group of talented young people in their lineup......
As Kenny Smith said, the current Raptors are the brightest star in the NBA galaxy.
Therefore, for Kobe, who has been practicing his skills for most of the year, he really can't understand whether he has a problem or a problem in this era.
You say, why do you play such a team, the Lakers just can't win the game?
You say, why did Su Feng fight so viciously, but he was able to gain a lot of fans?
It is said that God rewards hard work, but you say that you are so diligent, why......
Why are the Lakers now robbed of even their exclusive "" label by the Raptors?
Kobe Bryant really couldn't figure it out.
And the more he couldn't figure it out, the more stubborn Kobe Bryant went further and further on a path that was diametrically opposed to Su Feng's previous life......
In this life, after Su Feng "changed" Kobe's "chemical reaction" in his childhood, the four Yanghua three irons have become four transmission of three irons.
But the good thing is that ......
After the time entered March, Lakers owner Buss Sr. and the LOGO man began to figure out a way.
Plus the god assist from Klaus before......
So, shortly after "Silver Fox" Harris got out of class, the Lakers officially announced that "Zen Master" Jackson would take his triangle offense......
Lei!
And Los Angeles, many of the problems that have puzzled the Lakers will also be solved.
Perhaps, the triangular offensive of the "Zen master" is not for everyone.
But there is no doubt that the Triangle Offensive is the spell that lifted the seal for O'Neill under the current version.
In Su Feng's previous life, in the 99/00 season, with the blessing of the triangle offense, O'Neal not only won the first championship of his career, but also won the All-Star Game MVP, regular season MVP, Finals MVP and season scoring champion that season.
In the memoirs of Phil Jackson in the future, the "Zen master" himself once said that in fact, O'Neal is the one who is more suitable for the triangle offense than Jordan.
Because no matter how efficient Boss Joe is in scoring in the low post, his dominance in the low post cannot be compared to this fathead fish.
And as far as the "old rascal" is concerned, if you limit his scoring area to a low position, it will only frame yourself like a monkey drawing a circle.
So, that's why, at the end of the Bulls, Jordan became less and less fond of playing triangle offense.
In a word......
You can say that you are crooked, or you can say that it is destined.
In the long history of the NBA, even in the future, there has never been a team like this "OK" Lakers who are suitable for playing triangle offense.
Even the Lakers composed of Kobe, sister-in-law, and Ao Xiaoqiang in Su Feng's memory are absolutely incomparable to the Lakers in the "OK" era in terms of dominance.
And for Jackson, who is good at coaching stars and knows what people's hearts are, shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, before teaching the Lakers triangle offense, he knew that he had to take full control of the Lakers before he could turn them into the shape he wanted.
In Su Feng's previous life, when he was a coach, Jackson liked to keep his distance from the players, because in his opinion, only by making the players unable to guess their own thoughts could he guide the team like a man of the world.
For example, he likes to give books to the team members and let the team members figure it out for themselves.
For example, he likes to play games without calling a timeout and letting the players figure things out for themselves.
In 1993, when Jordan retired for the first time, because of the ups and downs of the Bulls at that time, everyone felt that the future of the Bulls was worrying.
So, before the start of a game with the Knicks, Jackson suddenly canceled the team's scheduled training and took everyone to prepare for team building.
As a result, halfway through, the players who didn't wait for the Bulls were looking forward to what to play next......
The "Zen Master" abruptly stopped the driver and ordered the only woman in the car, a team assistant who had worked with the team for many years, to get out of the car.
Then, Jackson also made the decision to fire him.
And this nonsensical move also made the Bulls players at that time unable to guess what Jackson wanted to do.
So, for most players who don't have a very high IQ, after not being able to guess what Jackson thinks for a long time, you simply can't do anything but obey him.
And this is the first lesson of "Zen Master" "Team Management":
————I don't want you to think, I want me to feel."
Similar to Su Feng's memory, in order to facilitate his better control of this Lakers, the "Zen Master" first found O'Neal privately and told him that he would be the unique core of his triangle offense.
And then, he also found Kobe Bryant and said the classic "I don't allow anyone to question your style of play" to Kobe.
In this way, after establishing the status of the OK team, the "Zen Master" slowly looked at the Lakers players in the training session and said:
"Now, let's practice the triangle attack."
In addition, in order to allow O'Neal to have better fitness to play in the next games, Jackson agreed to O'Neal's request to be absent from the team's usual training.
Because of his increasingly swollen body, in fact, O'Neill's weight did not allow him to train a lot since the beginning of this season.
Maybe Jackson has a lot of black spots in the future, but you can't deny that it was his decision that allowed O'Neal to play an absolute sense of dominance during the Lakers period.
With a shortened season and a tight schedule, "Zen Master" knows that it is unrealistic to want Lakers players to master the triangle offense in a short period of time.
However, for Jackson, who has already played 72-10, what he values more than the regular season is that in the near future......
The decisive battle that is coming.
From the moment he chose to join the Lakers, the "Zen Master" knew that in this season, the Lakers had only one opponent.
And this opponent, in the north.
……
From the 1st to the 8th, after the change of coach, the Lakers' record began to pick up rapidly.
They won five in a row and knocked the Lakers' former coach Harris to the toilet.
To be reasonable, Harris feels like he's being played.
After all, he and Jackson both play the same cards, but Jackson is just able to get the chicken, what can you do?
All right......
It might be a bit of Zaharris's heart to say it, because even if it weren't for Jackson's arrival, the Lakers' record would have improved rapidly.
In fact, where did the Lakers get so many actors?
To put it bluntly, the key to their inability to win before is because O'Neill has not yet regained the feeling of the game.
It seems that in the first 12 games, O'Neill scored a lot in each game, but in fact, the shark is just playing and practicing.
Wake up, do you expect this fathead to be an ascetic like Kobe Bryant during the shutdown?
Then why don't you just make him into a chopped pepper fish head?
So, let's kill this thing......
Sometimes, you just have to sigh that the goddess of fate just likes to throw you aside after sleeping with you.
Alas......
Old scumbag.
Of course, this Lakers' understanding of the triangle offense is indeed faster than Jackson himself imagined.
With the blessing of the triangle offense, as O'Neal's state gradually recovers, the Lakers' opponents are miserable.
Because they found that when playing against the Lakers now, if you play indiscriminately, the rest of the Lakers' players will easily have empty seats.
As a set of tactics for the star singles, the triangle offense is a perfect fit for this Lakers team, which is the key for Lakers players to quickly master the triangle offense.
In addition, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal have ball quotients far beyond ordinary players, so after regaining their confidence with a wave of five consecutive wins, the Los Angeles media, who are good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, also turned their course in time and began to praise the Lakers with various beautiful adjectives.
Get......
That is, there is no such thing as social networks now, otherwise, now on social networks, it is definitely more than the "Lakers championship" flying all over the sky.
And after this wave of five consecutive wins, although in the game on the 10th, the Lakers lost to the Jazz on the road, but from the 11th to the 17th, they played another wave of four consecutive wins.
Therefore, for a while, even in the new season's combat power rankings, they have soared to second place.
"He can easily destroy our inside line, and to be honest, I don't think there's any way to limit Shaq......"
As one of the background boards in this wave of Lakers' 10 games and 9 wins, after Suns coach Angie issued such feelings, now, there is no doubt that in the new season, after the Raptors, how to solve the Lakers has become a problem of the century that other teams must overcome.
But......
It's just too difficult.
So, let's leave this question to another unsolvable puzzle to answer......
……
On the 18th, when the Raptors, who had not lost a game in March, arrived in Los Angeles, in the words of the American media, they were now like a band touring, with a huge flow of traffic everywhere they went.
Since Su Feng helped Boss Qiao popularize the knowledge of sewers, this Jordan has been living in the sewers recently and has refused to come out.
In the new season, so far, Jordan can average 22.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game.
Affected by Boss Qiao's diligence and studiousness, Su Feng's current average score per game has also risen to 24.4 points.
As the No. 3 firepower point of this Raptors, Carter's average data per game in this life is slightly worse than Su Feng's previous life, but his shooting rate in the new season is an astonishing 51.5%, and he can average 16.4 points per game.
And Big Ben, who is responsible for the position of Jordan, although his average rebounds per game have declined, but similar to the Aquaman next to the future turtle, Big Ben now ranks first in the league in terms of average front-court rebounds per game.
In addition, on the bench, the Raptors also have Maddy, who can score 13.8 points per game, and Curry, who has a three-point shooting rate of 48.9% and can hit 2.6 three-pointers per game.
With 22 wins and 1 loss, they ranked first in the regular season, and they are the most unsolvable problem in the eyes of other NBA teams this season except for the Lakers.
Plainly......
The main players of the Raptors, who have been trained hard by Su Feng during the shutdown, are the fundamental reason why they can laugh at the regular season of this shortened season.
However, with some of the best teams getting back to their game, it's no surprise that the Raptors have rarely played as big wins as they did at the start of the new season.
And now, for this Raptors, they are also about to usher in the biggest test so far after the start of the new season.
One thing to say, after watching the footage of the Lakers' recent games, Su Feng was not blindly optimistic that the Raptors could easily pass in Los Angeles.
And you may not believe it when you say it......
Similar to Su Feng's memory, the teenager Duncan is also developing obscenely now.
In the new season, Duncan, who is in excellent form, has quietly brought the Celtics to the second place in the East.
It's just that because the Raptors and Lakers have been dominating the headlines, the Celtics haven't attracted too much attention.
It is worth mentioning that after the team arrived in Los Angeles, Su Feng also met with Wang Zhizhi.
In this life, Dazhi has generally had a good life in Los Angeles, although he has not played much time, but under Su Feng's suggestion, he has slightly strengthened his core strength, and in this Lakers, he is more or less a spatial tool man.
It's just that Dazhi now has his own troubles.
That is, in his opinion, he is not much worse than Lewis, but in terms of playing order, he is always behind Lewis.
In this regard, Su Feng did not discourage Dazhi's enthusiasm.
Because in Su Feng's opinion, in this life, after he helped Dazhi clear the obstacles, the rest of the road always depends on how Dazhi walks.
Anyway, Dazhi is now taking the initiative to practice this kind of behavior in order to compete with Lewis, which is definitely worthy of praise in Su Feng's eyes.
"Old Su......
I want to stay in the U.S. and play Summer League this summer to try to get more playing time next season.
But in this way, I am afraid that I will miss the national team's training camp and the Asian Championships.
So now I have a bit of a headache and don't know what to do, can you give me an idea? ”
After chatting with Dazhi for a while, although Dazhi's career trajectory has changed a lot in this life, it is similar to Su Feng's memory that in order to get more playing time in the Lakers, Dazhi still embarked on that familiar road.
However, Su Feng, who originally wanted to persuade Dazhi to return to China, after thinking for a while, felt that this time seemed to be a good opportunity for Dazhi to recognize himself.
Because anyway, in the summer, Su Feng will definitely return to China and take Xiaoyao to play the Asian Championships together, and by the way, brush up the iron value of the national war.
Therefore, in Su Feng's opinion, in this life, with his own as a bridge of communication, even if Dazhi wants to stay in the United States to play in the summer league, there will be no situation like his previous life.
Therefore, since this is the case, why not let Dazhi do what he thinks, and then let him know where his upper limit is?
To be reasonable, with Su Feng's current status in the men's basketball team, it is not difficult for him to persuade Dazhi to return to China.
It's just that in that case, if Dazhi regrets it in the future, then Su Feng will add a lot of trouble to himself at that time.
Take Hu Weidong as an example, Su Feng was more of a suggestion at that time, rather than imposing his own ideas on Hu Weidong.
"Okay, but I'll tell you first, first of all, summer league isn't as life-changing as you might think.
Secondly, as you know, American scouts have been going to Asia for the past two years, so I can honestly tell you that the attention you get at the Asian Championships is not necessarily much lower than that of the Summer League.
Of course, I respect any decision you make, and if you plan to stay in the United States, then the men's basketball team, I will find a way to help you communicate. ”
Looking at Wang Zhizhi, after saying everything he should say, Su Feng finally left him the right to choose.
Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi said after struggling for a while: "I still plan to stay in the United States, because I really think that I am not much worse than that Lewis." ”
One thing to say, just Dazhi's tsundere, if you don't let him hit a full headbag, he is really an iron-headed baby.
……
It is said that on the eve of the game with the Lakers, after having a light meal with Wang Zhizhi and chatting for a while, Su Feng went back to the hotel to rest.
According to Kobe's suggestion during special training last summer, Su Feng did not meet Kobe Bryant on the eve of the game.
Because in his words, Kobe Bryant:
In the future, he and Su Feng will play how to play off the court, how to play on the court, and how to play on the court.
As for Kobe's suggestion, Su Feng did not refuse.
Because Su Feng knows very well that Kobe Bryant is such a serious person.
Alas......
Look at what he said, as if he Su Feng is not a more serious person.
You must know that in order to prepare for this game with the Lakers, he Su Feng watched the Lakers video for five days, and also did three days of intracranial training by the way.
On the other hand, like Su Feng, Kobe, who was also training in the skull, was once again entangled......
Because in addition to Maddie, whether it is Jordan, Su Feng or Carter, what should he do if Kobe Bryant wants to hammer it in tomorrow's game?
Be reasonable......
In the eyes of young Kobe, this is the problem of the century that has always plagued him more than how to crack the Raptors' tactics.
