Wharton was smiling in the first quarter...... In the second quarter, he began to look at the Suns frequently.

Don't you give any face?

Really......

The game was 32:19 in the first quarter and 56:41 in the second quarter. And just finished the third quarter of the game, 91:61.

The Lakers collapsed without suspense. Li Feng was off the court for almost 20 minutes yesterday.

His main focus was on Ingram. Wharton rotated his players on the pitch.

But it's pretty much the same as last season. Clarkson felt his head start to hurt.

Apparently the game didn't go the way Clarkson had intended.

Scott has a good impression of him, basically Clarkson has been in the position of the Lakers' main guard last season!

As a result, the team ushered in a change of blood! The coaching staff consisted of seven, including coach Scott, and walked six together.

Today, Ingram, the second pick in the first round, and Zubac, the second pick in the second round, all look average......

There are too many young people in the team now! Clarkson, who entered the league in the same year as Li Feng, became anxious at this time......

Kobe Bryant still hasn't retired, and Li Feng is here again. Although they are the same age, they can't stand the two championship rings on Li Feng's hands!

Fighting with Jeremy Lin, the status that he finally fought for is actually starting to shake again this time!

With a 30-point difference, Wharton simply adjusted the lineup. In the final quarter of the game, Booker went straight down to watch the game.

People don't fight. Less than three minutes into the final quarter, Wharton called for another timeout.

There were no roster changes on Phoenix's side this time.

Their lineup is Bender, Chandler, Tucker, Knight, Eric.

The boxing champion made his debut today, along with defender Knight.

When Li Feng saw it, he immediately waved over there excitedly~

When he first came to the NBA, Li Feng's Milwaukee Bucks team, if there were few players who could play and not infighting, it would have been over.

Knight is one of them! A defender with very good confrontation ability!

The Lakers put Li Feng, Zubac and Clarkson on the court.

Randle and Ingram remained on the field.

105:64！ The difference has been stretched to 40 points, and the Lakers' side has been completely spent.

Clarkson: "You're not very organized, huh?" Mixed up two championships. Happy, huh? ”

Li Feng: "Huh? Talk to me? What do you mean? ”

Clarkson: "Haha! What are you nervous about in the preseason? It's so funny, this kid ~ It's okay, it's okay to relax~"

Two first-graders, Zubac and Ingram, you look at me, I'll look at you. Didn't dare to speak.

I don't know what happened to them. Li Feng was also said to be in the clouds. But it was obvious that Clarkson had something to do with him.

Ingram: "Brother Li, what do you think I should do next?" ”

Li Feng: "We can drag up a few more points." For example......"

Clarkson: "Don't you know how to beat yourself?" How did college come about? You're still at Duke University!

All these years, players who have come here. It's such a thing at every turn! ”

Ingram: "Who are you talking about there?!" ”

Zubac: "Hey! That's Clarkson! ”

Young Zubac gave Ingram a hard look. But the latter ignored it.

Clarkson: "What. It's amazing to have alumni backing you, isn't it? ”

Saying that, Clarkson got the basketball directly and hit a three-pointer directly!

Clarkson: "After all, it's up to strength to speak here." What do you have now? Ingram?

The Lakers don't need a vase. You don't need a mouthful of a great guy. I can stay and prove that I am strong enough. Do you understand?! ”

Li Feng: "Okay, okay." Just say a few words. Don't scare the kids~"

Clarkson: "Here's ...... for your talk"

Wharton: "What are you talking about?" Hurry up and defend! Zubac! Randall! Hurry up! ”

Clarkson glared at Li Feng, then ran back.

Li Feng turned around and saw that Randall was also looking at him deeply.

Ingram: "He, tui!! What the hell?! ”

Li Feng: "Go back to defense." Zubac, pay more attention to your steps, I know you're not happy, but you must run as hard as you can!! ”

Zubac: "Oh! I know! ”

He and Ingram exchanged a look, then nodded and ran over.

It was like there was a lot of communication.

is similar to what I thought, and it is true that after coming to the Lakers, it is not peaceful.

At present, in Los Angeles, in addition to the team's boss Kobe Bryant, Lore Deng will not be too difficult for him in the center position because of salary reasons.

But I have to say that Randle and Lore Deng are both good. Small forward competition is not weak either.

The defenders are just as fierce here. For example, Li Feng and Clarkson are more conflicting in position.

Clarkson belongs to the guards with a strong desire to attack!

On the court, he will pass the ball to Kobe, but other players, he will generally pass a lot less.

After Knight got the ball, he directly passed Clarkson's defense, and finally scored points on a pull-up jumper!

107：67！ The difference between the two sides is still very large!

At this time, there seems to be a quarrel within the team. Wharton watched the game from the sidelines with his waist crossed.

Will he be needed so soon to adjust the atmosphere of the players?

When training, there is nothing Wharton will talk to Li Feng about.

Recently, I mainly said that I wanted to go to Milwaukee in person and treat Kidd to a meal.

The purpose is also very clear, I just want to ask how he brought the team to the playoffs when the team was like that.

Li Feng said that Wharton was too troublesome. There is a game against the Bucks in the preseason, and when the time comes, it's over to ask him.

Wharton has only been in coaching for a few years, so he is still very young at this time.

Naturally, I had to find a coach who he thought was better in this field to consult. The first thing that came to his mind was Kidd.

Kidd is a superstar player and has only been coaching for a few years, but his first year with the Nets allowed the Nets to reach the second round of the playoffs.

Next season, let the Bucks win the championship again...... With these two points alone, he felt the need to consult Kidd.

And Li Feng, his right-hand guard back then, was in his own team at this time!

Seeing the quarrel between Clarkson and Ingram this year's leader just now deepened Wharton's anxiety.

Kidd has been in touch and said he'll be coming to Los Angeles in a while.

But Wharton felt like he wanted to see Kidd now.

Being a teaching assistant is tiring, but the work is monotonous. Being a manager seems quite easy, and it is true that a manager does a lot of work that he doesn't have to do.

But now Wharton has realized that he wants to lead a good team unless the team is very good, like the Warriors last season.

When he was Wharton's interim head coach, he couldn't even try to lose his players in many games......

I really want to lose, but I can't lose.

But against such a team, if you want to play a result, Wharton feels that he will feel tired.

Fortunately, the current Lakers still have Kobe Bryant and Li Feng! Russell was the number one player in the previous year, and he looked to be playing well.

Nick Young can be relied on when he is in good shape. Clarkson has decent scoring ability.

Zubac played okay today. Ingram in general.

At this time, when the Suns came over, the Lakers looked so vulnerable!

Among the players on the field at this time, Randle's defense is not bad. But apparently the opponent knows this.

Just don't be around him to go to the basket or shoot. 111：70！

Li Feng ran back and forth with an injury in the arena. In the process, he was thinking, what if the Lakers want to fight this season?

Thinking hard about the conversation with Kidd in Season 1.

In a lot of small talk, Kidd told Li Feng. One season, as a coach. If you want to make some achievements.

The simplest idea is that the team has to work together towards a goal!

This is very easy to do with traditional powerhouses. For example, like the Raptors in the East, the Celtics, the Wizards, and the Cavaliers.

Teams like these have a goal at the start of the season.

This is called the team's clear goal.

Another is to keep up. In each game, the coach can keep up with the rhythm of the opponent's game, so as to formulate the corresponding big frame tactics.

The players also have to keep up, mainly in the ability to keep up. This requires early training.

No matter what kind of player you have, you need to achieve the desired result through training and long-term running-in.

For example, like a rookie, if his ability is strong enough, or if he cooperates well enough, he can also achieve relatively good performance in the later stage.

There are players like that in this league. There are other ordinary players, who can also get different degrees of improvement, but first of all, the players have the heart to improve their combat power.

For example, Antetokounmpo, a newcomer at that time, his confrontation ability has grown terrifyingly every year!

Good players need to train too. What is the main thing to train?

The awareness of the game, the ability to control the game, and the ability to sacrifice and compromise when it matters most.

At the time, Kidd said that this was not easy. But compared to a team, if it's all young, it's a little bit easier.

But often the team has too many stars to take care of this aspect.

The best example is the Chicago Bulls back then, a team that can play, but they have never won the championship.

Later, they used the Zen master's triangular attack system, and then won the championship.

This is one of the reasons why Kidd advocated a triangle offense when he went to the Bucks!

Thinking of this, Li Feng passed the ball directly, Clarkson directly picked up Li Feng's pass, and then threw a three-no-stick out of bounds......

originally wanted to shoot this ball and then fall to Li Feng, but he did take the lead in making a fool......

At this time, the boxing champion served and was directly cut off by Ingram! The fans at the scene immediately let out a lot of exclamations!

When Wharton also found out about this, Ingram turned directly and hit a 2-point jumper with a difficult step-back!

Wharton: "Good shot! Keep going! ”

Something went wrong on the sun's side! Li Feng directly took the opportunity to get the rebound! Then pass the ball through!

Ingram gets up and hits a three-point hollow shot!

Wharton held back the whole game, and this time he can finally be happy!

......

The Suns, for their part, have been playing according to Coach Watson's request. Defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 116-82!

It is true that he overwhelmed his opponent in momentum at the beginning.

Wharton watched from the sidelines throughout the game as he played a game as the team's official head coach for the first time.

Booker: "It's relaxing. We were expected to win against the Lakers.

Preseason. It is not included in the grades. Everyone is mainly warming up. The coach told us to play aggressively in this game.

We did it. The whole team was slack. That's what I want to see. ”

Reporter: "Some media have said that the Suns have a new successor since Nash!

He will take Phoenix to the next level! What do you think about this? ”

Booker: "That's for sure. Ha ha...... You know, last season we couldn't have been lower.

The Bucks also had an amazing run last season. I think we can do that this season too! That's it. Now I'm ready! ”

Reporter: "Then congratulations to Phoenix for being a strong team in the West this season!" ”

As analyzed by the media last season, there has been no shortage of people on Phoenix's side over the years!

And Booker is a very capable young scoring guard on the team!

Also the bottom team in the West last season, the Suns hit a high score of 116 today! And the Lakers didn't even score 90 points.

Clarkson walked back to the locker room with a black face after the game.

Wharton: "I was new to the Lakers, too. A lot of the situation is not yet understood. We need to get to know each other by playing warm-up game after game. ”

Reporter: "That's a good start, isn't it?" ”

Wharton: "Huh...... Your question...... In terms of winning or losing, we lose. But you can say the same if you press the warm-up game. ”

Reporter: "What we're curious to know now is, who will be the Lakers' first brother this season?"

You don't tell me that this has not been thought of. You must know that Li Feng, who has won the championship twice this season, also came to the Lakers and is on par with Clarkson in terms of salary.

The previous year and this year's rankings are all in our team. So, who will it be? ”

Wharton: "Didn't you wake up?" The boss of the team is Kobe Bryant~ Hahahaha, isn't it? ”

Reporter: "That's not what we meant...... We ......"

Wharton: "The press conference is about to start. Let's get here today. ”

Reporter: "Okay then"

Passing them, Wharton breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that from the Warriors to the Lakers, it is not easy to think clearly.

Such a young and handsome head coach has naturally attracted the attention of the media.

Arriving at the press conference, Wharton immediately felt a heat wave rush.

The room was packed with reporters. Li Feng did not come to the scene, and Clarkson, Randle, and Ingram were sitting there.

Taking a deep breath, Wharton ran into the room.

In this game, Georges had 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and Bender had 16 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists! Tucker 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals! Booker 20 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists! Knight 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists!

This season's rookie Bender is eye-catching! Booker played casually, and 20 points were in hand. It will not appear in the later stage.

Judging from the overall score, everyone played okay.

On the Lakers' side, Zubac had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Lore Deng had 7 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks! Ingram 19 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists! Li Feng 8 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists! Clarkson 24 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists!

Only two players in the team went to the double-......

On the Lakers' side, Ingram's performance is eye-catching! Mainly, he was provoked by Clarkson.

And the most comprehensive performance is still Clarkson. Not as playing time as Ingramdo, but the stats are beautiful!

Originally, there were not many fans who came in the preseason, and at the end of this game, the fans at the scene were more than half gone......

……

More than 10 preseason games are coming to an end. The only thing the Lakers felt was playing well was the game against the Magic.

Ended up with 126:109! The Lakers haven't won any of these preseason games, and this one is no exception.

The final game of the preseason is the Los Angeles Lakers and the Bucks.

Wharton also reached out to Coach Kidd. Although it was said that it was okay to have a meal before the game.

But after Wharton faced reporters in Los Angeles during this time, he chose to cautiously wait for the game before going to dinner.

Last season's Milwaukee Bucks were swept 4-0 by the Cavaliers in the playoffs......

Although it was a bit embarrassing, the team was still the champion of the 2014-2015 season!

This season's Bucks are still very tough in terms of play! And it can also be seen from the regular season that the Bucks have little to do with the bottom team in the league now.

There's never a shortage of news on the Lakers' side. For example, a recent explosion of news is that the team management is going to invite the Lakers famous Magic Johnson out of the mountain!

It's not about him being the coach of the team. Instead, let him serve as an advisor in the management of the team!

Obviously, the team is going to lay out for the future of the Lakers in the next few years!

So this season......

There are two players in the squad who have not yet been seen, one is Lowe and the other is Nance Jr.

Both of them have very good abilities! Bryant didn't show up again after attending a training session.

After more than 10 games, Li Feng hurried and the team was really scattered......

In the preseason, apart from players such as Ingram and Zubac, the rest of the team-mates played without any anger.

One of the more interesting things about pre-season is that the main players don't go out of their way to win.

Only rookies or players who have just arrived in the team will fight in the pre-season to show themselves.

Li Feng's salary of $13 million this season is a salary in the ranks for a while.

So naturally I don't care about that. I'm not worried about coaches not using him in the regular season.

You don't need me. When the time comes, it will be over to see if the team will tie you up~

Offering a $13 million salary and not letting him play? No matter how chaotic the Lakers management is, it won't let that happen.

But the performance of other teammates in front of him made Li Feng feel a little bottomless......

What does this mean? The regular season hasn't started, and the season is going to be rotten?

It's not impossible. Li Feng observed that at this time, the players, staff, and coaching staff of the Lakers team all had their own ideas.

Wharton still looks beautiful on the surface, but at this time he is like an ant on a hot pot.

If the team is like this, will he not become cannon fodder?

Scott is a well-known coach and once had a great record, and it is not all his responsibility to not be able to lead the team.

But what about Wharton himself...... A novice in the coaching world, a retired veteran in the player world......

If you're here with the Lakers, you can't play a result. So what about the rest of his career? Will you be an assistant coach again?

These Lakers players have a problem for him at this time!

……

Walton: "It's the last game of preseason. Everyone's in good spirits!

Our game against the Bucks will be played according to the requirements of the regular season. Performance will be tied to regular season playing time as appropriate.

It's mostly newcomers and players who have just arrived with the Lakers. Disband. That, Li Feng, come over for a while......"

Li Feng: "??? ”

Wharton: "I'm going to die!" Bryant couldn't be reached. I heard that Lu Wei and Nance are recovering from their injuries! ”

Li Feng: "You are a coach." Isn't that all there is to face?"

Wharton: "......"

Li Feng: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Wharton: "I'm in a mess right now. You know about me having dinner with Kidd tonight? ”

Li Feng: "Why should I know?" ”

Wharton: "Li Feng." Such! You come with me at night. I'm afraid that my mind will be messed up at night and I will forget all the problems. ”

Li Feng: "It's okay." It's been a long time since I've caught up with Coach Kidd. Wharton, you bring a notebook.

When it comes to asking questions, be more formal. This also makes people more respectful. ”

Wharton: "That's it!" You asked me to write it down as well, didn't you? ”

Li Feng nodded. And patted Wharton on the shoulder sympathetically.

At this time, the coach in front of him felt the seriousness of the problem. The reason why many coaches of the Lakers are reluctant to come now is because of this......

The team is now in a semi-stranded state, to put it mildly.

The management didn't think too much about the selection of people, just spent money to get some players, and they made up a team.

Unlike Li Feng, Wharton is not an interim head coach this time. But at the end of the season, the team's entire results were on his head......

A novice who has just stepped into the ranks of coaching, if he coaches as a coach for the first time in his life, he will have a record of 52 defeats and 30 wins in a season......

What team would dare to ask such a coach to be the manager? But as a player, Li Feng doesn't have to think about these issues.

The team's salary is in hand, as long as it plays the past average data that is still said. Basically, I don't have to worry about going home.

……

Wharton smiled politely when he saw Kidd appear. Seeing the other party coming over, Wharton also greeted him generously.

Kidd: "How young! I'll see you in the evening. ”

Wharton: "There's another one. I asked Li Feng to go over as well. I was an assistant coach with the Warriors during the injury season. ”

Kidd: "Really?! That's great! Li Feng, this kid...... What a mistake for the team. He shouldn't have been laid off in the first place......"

Today's starters on the Bucks' side are Monroe, Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Malcolm and McCaw!

The Lakers are Zubac, Blake, Nick Young, Li Feng and Russell!

Clarkson sat on the bench with some gammy and watched the game. Playing at the intensity of the regular season, shouldn't he be a starter for Clarkson?!

After Li Feng landed on the Lakers, was he directly the main player?

Entering the NBA together, Clarkson didn't see what was so powerful about Li Feng. He has not never had a highlight performance.

Li Feng: "Do you want to be a good center forward in the first grade?" ”

Zubac: "Of course"

Li Feng: "When you go to the regular season, sometimes you have to do what I say. ”
