Chapter 359: "Zen Master" (Second Month!) )
Sun Hao, I didn't expect Adi to really find Dove.
The advertising fee of five cents is really charged.
Every time he scores a three-pointer next season, he will probably pop up with the advertising slogan "indulge in silky smoothness" in his head.
SIMPLY, LET FU PAUL GO TO TWIX TO TALK TO LATER, AND TAKE DOVE'S ENDORSEMENT!
The co-branded sneakers will not be launched until October, but this time node announcement has earned the attention of fans.
It can be said that Sun Hao has provided eight or nine out of ten meals for fans this summer.
As the time came to late September, the offseason was coming to an end, and the training camps for each team were starting one after another.
The Lakers didn't fall either.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of training camp, the Lakers were fully assembled.
But it's normal to think about it, most of the Lakers' players are new to contracts, in other words, they are newcomers to the team.
When you come to work at a new company, the probability of being late for the first day is the lowest.
Sun Hao went earlier this time, and when he arrived, there were only Huo Li and Ma Long in the locker room.
People like them who have been in the league for a long time have a high level of self-discipline.
Ma Long was playing with his mobile phone, said hello when he saw Sun Hao come in, and then took care of himself again.
Huo Li was more enthusiastic, and came up to take the initiative to talk to Sun Hao, and talked about this and that.
It's also clear from this detail that there's a reason why Horry has been the most successful role player in his history.
You know, as a role player, it's hard to get a shot at a critical moment.
After all, what star wouldn't want to play a heroic role in a crucial moment?
But it has to be said that stars are also easy to be caught in key moments.
If you have a good relationship with a player, they will be more willing to pass the ball to you.
While the two were chatting, players came in one after another.
"Sun."
The first to come was only Juwan Howard, and he greeted Sun Hao when he came in.
If you want to say that in this new Lakers team, in addition to Finley, Howard and Sun Hao have the most intersections.
Although Howard only played for Dallas for a year and a half, the two had a pretty good personal relationship because they both liked cats.
The lion cat in his house was given to him by Howard before he left Dallas.
I didn't expect them to be teammates on the Lakers again, which is really a bit of fate.
After Howard, Finley "Shepherd" also came.
Who would have thought that the former Jordan successor with the lowest sense of existence would be the longest teammate with Sun Hao.
Three "ex-Mavericks" players gathered around chatting.
It didn't take long for a super hunk guy to join in.
"Raise your hands, Officer Shaq wants to check your papers."
O'Neill was really funny.
Sun Hao smiled and shook his head, O'Neill has a police dream, and he knows it without touching him.
After O'Neill, everyone else went to the locker room.
In addition to O'Neal, Damon Jones is also a pistachio, and while almost all the players are team-mates for the first time, the dressing room is buzzing.
This kind of atmosphere makes Sun Hao feel very comfortable.
Originally, he was also worried about leaving the Mavericks and needing to adapt to a new team atmosphere.
But now, it seems, his worries were unfounded.
While we were talking, Phil Jackson arrived.
He didn't come alone, he was followed by his gold medal assistant coach Lambis, and a temporary drudger to be drudgery Brian Cook.
Cook is the only remaining veteran player of the Lakers other than O'Neal, and Sun Hao will be no stranger to him.
This is the guy in history who said "Kobe and I scored 83 points together".
Sun Hao didn't think he had a bad brain, in fact, he thought this guy was very smart.
Not only is there some humor, but it also makes fans remember him.
Otherwise, with his performance in the NBA, he is completely a passerby.
Cook was holding a large cardboard box in his hand, and when he got closer, he saw that it contained some books.
And the top one, Sun Hao glanced at it and was a little stunned when he saw it.
The Forty-Two Chapters.
Although it was translated into English, Sun Hao had a feeling that he had messed into a temple.
He looked at Phil Jackson again.
Jackson is only 59 years old, but his head is already full of gray hair.
Sun Hao will not lament how tiring it is to be a head coach in the NBA, but thinks that if Jackson really laughs, he will really think that this is KFC grandpa.
And Sun Hao noticed that Jackson's left and right hands were each wearing a ring, of course, not a championship ring.
The left hand is on the ring finger and the right hand is on the little finger, and I don't know what the meaning is.
"I'm Phil."
Just then, Jackson spoke.
Sun Hao also looked at Jackson.
Unlike old Nelson, who gave him the feeling of not being angry and arrogant, Jackson spoke in a tone and tone like a gentleman.
"I know this is a lot of people's first time playing for the Lakers, but I want to say that each of you is the chosen one, and fate has brought you to Los Angeles, and each and every one of you is so special."
Well, Sun Hao also thinks that Jackson should still be a master of chicken soup.
"When your team has the Finals MVP and the regular season MVP, it's destined to be the favorite to win the championship, so our only goal is to win the championship, and I'm sure you can do that, just as you believe in yourself."
But this chicken soup sounds very special.
Sun Hao didn't feel much at first, but listening to it, he felt that these words ...... It's quite philosophical.
It's a really weird feeling.
However, Sun Hao knows that no one's success is all about luck, let alone a coach like Jackson, who continues to succeed.
It's ridiculous to say that he's only going to coach superstars, and they didn't have a coach before Jordan and OK made it together.
"This is my first gift to you."
After Jackson finished speaking, he asked people to hand out the books one by one, and everyone got the same books.
What Sun Hao got was the first book of "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" he saw.
He felt a little big.
Generally speaking, people who have a strong love for sports will not delve too deep into such things as literature.
Not to mention what might probably be called Buddhism.
"These are some Zen books, and I hope that when you read them, you will take the initiative to meditate, to think actively, to think about the balance between people and the world, and how to make yourself strong, and those will be very helpful for your game."
After hearing this, Sun Hao probably knew that Phil Jackson would be called a Zen master.
In just a few words, it is clear that Jackson admires Zen.
This is actually really special, Zen as a branch of Buddhism, is something that belongs to the East.
In the eyes of most Westerners, these are things that are scoffed at.
But listening to what Jackson said, to say the least, there have been more than a decade or more of research.
This feeling is completely opposite to that of old Nelson.
After giving the gifts, Jackson left first, leaving Rambis to arrange the first day of training for the players.
Sun Hao glanced at the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" again, shook his head with a wry smile, and prepared to throw it directly into the wardrobe.
"Take a look, these books are really useful."
At this moment, Horry on the side spoke.
As he said this, he carefully put the book in his bag.
It can be seen that this is not the first time he has received such a gift as a "book" from Jackson, and he still attaches great importance to it.
Sun Hao nodded and put the book in his bag.
Anyway, it's just a book.
……
The Lakers' first practice session didn't have tactical drills, but just a physical feel for the players.
Although there is only more than half a month left before the preseason starts, and the Lakers are mainly rookies, Jackson does not seem to be in a hurry.
However, the players did need to adapt.
Not everyone will Sun Hao go to the Olympics and train all summer.
A lot of people need to play within the team to find their form and feel.
That is, when he arrived on the field, Sun Hao found that after O'Neal put on the jersey, he seemed to be more ...... than last season Fatter again.
This guy did everything but basketball in the offseason.
And after the toe injury continued, O'Neill seemed to have given up on the matter of weight.
However, this does not hinder his dominance.
Whether it was half time or full-time, O'Neill showed a crushing advantage against Divac, who was also his main opponent in the past due to his declining age and strength.
This is a guy who really plays with talent.
But it can also be clearly felt that after overweight, O'Neill's physical energy consumption is also very fast.
This could be a concern for the Lakers.
After the training, Sun Hao sat and chatted with O'Neill.
Although this is the first time the two have trained at the Staples Center, they have seen each other more often after becoming neighbors, not like new teammates, but more like old acquaintances.
Taking advantage of the break, Sun Hao also talked to O'Neill about weight loss in a very serious tone.
Historically, O'Neal began to decline sharply after he arrived with the Heat this season.
In addition to Riley's devil training, it is the problem of his own weight gain too fast.
Taken together, these two events have greatly reduced the time of O'Neal's peak and even his career.
Although O'Neal is now staying with the Lakers without Riley's devil training, this weight will also be a big problem.
"Trust me, Shaq, losing weight will prolong your career, and your toe injury will be a lot better."
Sun Hao is not alarmist, nor does he come out of his mouth.
With a giant center like this, when you are overweight, the toes are the most affected.
Historically, Yao Ming's toe injury also appeared after excessive weight gain.
O'Neill's situation is the same, except that he has a vicious cycle of toe injury ~ weight gain ~ toe injury.
"I'm going to lose weight, it's true."
O'Neill's initial reaction surprised Sun Hao.
This guy nodded directly.
This made Sun Hao feel a kind of "Didn't anyone persuade O'Neill to lose weight before?" "Thoughts.
But right away, he felt like he was still young.
"Don't you want a piece of meat from me?"
O'Neill looked at Sun Hao very seriously and said.
When he says weight loss, he means this.
Sun Hao's face was speechless, this guy is afraid that it is impossible to lose weight.
He didn't go any further.
Weight loss is something that you have to do with your own heart, and you can't do it by relying on others to say it.
What's more, Sun Hao has just partnered with O'Neill.
At this time, Ranbier came to Sun Hao's side and said that Phil Jackson was looking for him.
Sun Hao couldn't help but scratch his head when he got up.
Those experiences in the locker room at the front made him a little bit ...... Phil Jackson
If Jackson dragged him to talk about Zen and the Forty-Two Chapters, he felt like he was going crazy.
To be honest, he wasn't particularly interested in these things.
Bite the bullet, Sun Hao went to Jackson's office.
After greeting Jackson and sitting down, Jackson handed him a notebook.
Fortunately, this time it is not a Zen study, but a tactical manual for the triangle offensive.
"I know you're a highly skilled player, so I'll tell you some of the tactical points of the triangle attack."
Jackson didn't say what he had done before and asked him to go back and watch it, but summed it up as he watched.
The triangle offense is not Jackson's patent, he invented it in the '60s, and with this tactic, he led his team to the NCAA quarterfinals eight times.
Of course, Jackson, who really carried this tactic forward.
Jackson summed up this tactic in a nutshell.
1. The handler must need three threats: cutting, passing, and shooting to break through the defense.
Second, the offense must cover the entire half.
Third, there should be a space principle in attack.
4. The offense should make sure that the player and the ball are on the same goal (seeking clearance or attacking the basket).
5. Every time you shoot, other players should have a proper layout for offensive rebounds and fast breaks.
Sixth, every time the ball is passed to prepare for an attack, it will create a gap that the defender cannot take into account.
7. Offensive play should be designed according to the characteristics of the player.
Sun Hao hadn't played a triangle attack before, but many of these points were very compatible with him.
For example, the first point is that shooting is his forte, and he was already an excellent air cutter in Europe, and his passing has improved greatly after four years in Dallas.
Another example is the third point, the principle of space, which is probably no one more suitable than him.
For example, in the fifth point, last season with the Mavericks, Johnson emphasized how to prevent opponents from playing defensive counterattacks in a season.
It felt like his entire career before that was trying to play triangle offense at a certain point in time.
"You have to be ready to play the key shots."
And after Jackson finished talking about the essentials of triangular tactics, he also deliberately emphasized a sentence.
In fact, the triangle attack can also be called a superstar single tactic.
It's just that the purpose of the tactics is to keep the superstar from getting caught in the trap when playing alone.
So when it comes to the final critical moment, the ball will definitely be in the hands of the outside players.
Because compared to O'Neal, an interior player, the possibility of being caught on the outside is even lower.
This is also the reason why most of the knockout shots of the OK combination are dominated by Kobe Bryant, not O'Neal.
It had nothing to do with the status of the team, but Jackson's tactical needs.
