Although the coaching staff attaches great importance to the training of basic skills, the training of team tactics is also essential, except for part of the time to watch videos, occasionally pick out a few tactics for practice.

Of course, the tactical core is still Yao Ming.

Harris also invited retired Mavericks star Blackman and NBA well-known physical trainer El to join the coaching team of the Chinese men's basketball team, and Lu Fei and Yao Ming also invited their own trainers to do a few days of special training at their own expense.

The Chinese men's basketball team is training non-stop here, and the NBA is also playing vigorously.

The Pacers and Lakers both beat the Nets and Timberwolves 4-2.

All Lakers fans finally dare to shout the slogan that has been brewing in their hearts for a long time at this time - Lakers championship!

But no one expected that Malone and Payton seemed to have exhausted their last strength in the competition with the Timberwolves, and in the face of the imposing Pacers, they were beaten and had no power to fight back.

Malone's old injury has not healed, Payton is incompatible with the triangle offense, and O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have escalated, which has become the fuse for the Lakers' loss to the Pacers.

Yao Ming had to admire the accuracy of Lu Fei's analysis.

But Lu Fei never said that in fact, the main reason why the Lakers lost the Finals was Kobe.

The question of Malone and Payton has always been why they were able to win the series by playing the Timberwolves and losing the game when it came to playing the Pacers.

The Timberwolves didn't limit Kobe, and that's the main reason.

So the Timberwolves lost.

Many people have analyzed why the Lakers lost to the Pistons, Malone's injury, Payton's tactical incompatibility, and O'Neal Bryant's contradictions have been brought out every time, but everyone ignores the importance of Kobe Bryant on the offensive end of this Lakers team.

Most people attribute the Pistons' win to the double Wallace's restriction on O'Neal, but did they really limit O'Neal?

O'Neal scored 34 points in the first game, 29 points in the second, 36 points in the fourth, 20 points in the fifth, and only 14 points in the third.

Statistically, O'Neal's stats are even better than when he played the Timberwolves, and even more than a little better, playing the Timberwolves O'Neal averaged only 20 points per game.

Compared to the Pistons' defense of O'Neal, it is clear that the Timberwolves are doing better!

However, the Lakers won against the Timberwolves but lost to the Pistons, where did they lose?

Lost to Kobe!

Kobe Bryant met Hamilton, a player who couldn't run, and Hamilton's consumption of Kobe Bryant made Kobe's shooting percentage plummet.

Lu Fei once predicted that if the Nets entered the Finals, then the Lakers would basically win the championship, but if it was the Pacers who entered the Finals, then the Lakers wanted to win the championship, and the chances were probably not great.

Because the Pacers have a quarterback who is even tougher than Hamilton - Reggie Miller.

What Kobe hates most is players who run without the ball on defense, such as Ray Allen, Hamilton and Reggie Miller.

Because after running for a long time, the person did not lose it, but the opponent did not pass the ball to the off-ball player who defended him, who could withstand it in this way...... It's all gone, why don't you let me prevent it once?

As a result, I was stunned, and what people were talking about was a shot.

Such a player will catch and shoot when he runs out, and if he can't run out, he will run all over the court with the defenders, anyway, no one can run him, but they are still very good pitchers, and no one dares to let them go, so they can only follow hard, so Kobe Bryant meets Reggie Miller and meets Hamilton no different.

If he runs into someone else, Kobe Bryant may be able to bear it, but when he meets Reggie Miller, he will prevent him from killing him if he says anything, and it's good if the two of them don't fight.

It's a pity to add the impact of Malone's injury and Payton's black hole-like state......

The Lakers were eliminated 4-2, and the Pacers won the championship in the 2003-2004 season.

On June 17, Reggie Miller finally lifted the championship trophy, and he was in tears, and he won the FMVP with 37 points in the last game.

Miller clutched the two trophies tightly, "If I had regrets in my 17 seasons before today, now I can announce to the world that even if I retire today, I have no regrets!" ”

The camera focuses on an emaciated Miller.

"I'm no different from anyone else!"

He said a classic line from "Forrest Gump", and everyone understood that he was the same as Forrest Gump in this NBA, and even he did better than Forrest Gump.

Miller was born with a deformed hip that prevented him from walking like a normal person, let alone running, and the young Miller had to wear foot supports that were somewhat heavy for him to help him walk.

But even so, he still became the greatest assassin in NBA history!

In the alliance, there are many names for Miller, but in Lu Fei's opinion, there is one title that is most suitable for Miller, and that is Legend Maker!

Miller's career has created so many miracles.

Isn't it a miracle that a person who is considered unable to walk properly ends up becoming an NBA superstar?

Isn't it a miracle that a thin, athletic player became not only the iron man on the court at the time, but also one of the great scorers of the time in the '90s, when the physical confrontation was the most intense and defensive?

Isn't it a miracle that a man who was considered unable to adapt to the intensity of the league's game, but in that era when the three-point shot was not taken seriously, relied on excellent outside shooting ability, made everyone realize the charm of the three-point shot, and saved the team many times when the team was in trouble?

"Hey, Michael, I won the championship too!" Miller raised the championship trophy in his hand and said proudly to the camera: "There is one thing I want to tell you, I just pushed you back then!" ”

He said this with a smile, because he won the championship and was no longer the uncrowned king of the second thousand-year-old man.

He was qualified to say it.

Lu Fei and Yao Ming sat in front of the TV and watched his finals performance.

"Someday, I'm going to stand in that place too!" Lu Fei said to himself.

Yao Ming pondered on the sidelines, the Lakers lost, that is, the offseason trade that Lu Fei said would start in two weeks at most.

After the free market opens, it is time for the two sides to play, will O'Neal really be as Lu Fei said he will not be able to resist asking for a contract extension?

If he doesn't renew his contract, then the Lakers will have enough salary space to sign Kobe, and the situation will be difficult at that time......

But now that this step has been taken, it is necessary to finish it with gritted teeth.

And almost everyone can guess that O'Neal will definitely ask for a contract extension, and he will not let Kobe's salary weigh on his head when he and Kobe Bryant contradict him.

Once O'Neal offers a contract extension, it will be the beginning of the prologue on the trade.

As long as the Lakers are willing to peddle O'Neal, I believe the Rockets will definitely be tempted, especially when Yao Ming has been "rumored" to seek a trade to the Lakers.

It's just that everything still has to wait......
