Chapter 347: Crazy Battle of Training! (3/3)
Wiggins and Li Feng have been the focus of attention since their first season.
In terms of ability, the wolfberry boy has always been completely superior to Li Feng.
But if you want to say that the two are luckier, Li Feng, who is the "team koi", is much stronger than him!
This matter could not be reasoned, which made Wiggins very depressed.
What if you get the champion signature? You can't win the championship......
Bryant didn't play, and Clarkson was reimbursed for another season. The burden on the field naturally fell on Li Feng.
At this time, the Timberwolves have a luxurious lineup of Towns, Wiggins and Rubio in the main side.
But it seems that this team has some problems with the team, and although all three of them can play well, it is just difficult to win last season.
It didn't take long for Li Feng to meet Rubio. It didn't take long for Nick Young to receive a pass from Li Feng, and his three-point shot was interfered with in the face of Wiggins!
The physical fitness of the wolfberry teenager is not just a casual blow.
Although Nick Young's individual ability is also good, he still feels that he is struggling in front of Wiggins.
Zubac and the opposing Gorgi fought for rebounds, and were directly squeezed off the court by the opponent......
Wiggins had already got the basketball at this time, and rushed to the front court after passing Li Feng directly, and Dunn didn't take long to get a pass from his teammates and hit a three-point jumper!
Kobe: "The opponent's momentum at the beginning is very fierce~ Is it really good for us to use this lineup at this time?" ”
Wharton: "Since I've said I'm training, I'm going to be ready to lose." I'm sure I'm going to let them go to the arena and practice."
Bryant: "...... Even so, I actually want to win."
Wharton: "If Li Feng is also pressed on the bench by me, then this game will definitely be lost." But with him, there is hope. ”
Bryant turned his head to look at Wharton, then nodded.
Now in the Lakers, except for Kobe, Li Feng's personal ability and data are the best!
His average points per game is currently even 1.7 points higher than Kobe's! But the other averages are not as high as Kobe's.
But with the Lakers, it's pretty good to get that kind of statistic. Also, Kobe Bryant actually allowed his teammates to score higher than him during the season!
Since he first came to the NBA, one of Kobe's beliefs is that he should score as many points as possible!
He is the boss of the game, and he wants to be the most dazzling player in the whole game!
But over the years, he's been in Los Angeles, and the coach has changed a lot.
Many coaches have told him about the importance of passing. In Black Mamba's view, it's okay to pass the ball, but who to divide.
If it's a player like Gasol, he can pass the ball right away, and Odom is willing to cooperate with him.
But let a bunch of titular guys play with themselves, and let themselves pass the ball? Hehe.
This season may be his last.
Kobe Bryant finally chose to continue playing for another year, just to see maybe his last season Lakers really enter the playoffs once as Walton said.
So if he wants the team to have this kind of fighting power, he has to make certain changes.
It's the last one anyway. Why not change it?
Moreover, this season's team has indeed undergone a lot of changes under the leadership of Wharton.
The team is currently at the top of the table and it does feel like a dream.
The Timberwolves are all blue in the face right now.
The Lakers, you don't plan to go head-to-head with us, well, let's see how ruthless the Timberwolves are.
After Lowe missed a three-pointer and went to the basket, Zubac fell down without a footing.
Then Rubio got the pass from Downs and rushed straight to the front court to hit a three-point shot without defense!
Kobe: "It's about to take a pause, right?" ”
Wharton: "If you want to pause now. What would you do? ”
Kobe: "Zubac I'm going to have to come down." There is also Lu Wei, and the rest continue to play. I'm going to change the main force."
Wharton: "Don't pause just yet. Let's go back first, I have 3-5 sets of plans for you to talk about."
Bryant: "......"
Li Feng: "Defensively, the 2-3 joint defense has been changed to a half-court press!" The opposing players are still running too fast!
We can't keep up with each other's rhythm, so we can only be beaten by each other! ”
If it is the team's MVP, he can still fight for it, but Li Feng doesn't know if he can get the MVP of the two teams today.
If this continues to play like this, the Lakers will have to adjust.
Li Feng dribbled the ball through the half of the court by himself, faced Dunn's defense, and finally passed the opponent directly!
But in the face of Wiggins, he still chose to pass, Zubac turned around and shot after receiving the ball, and was directly hit by Downs!
Li Feng took the opportunity to rush in and let Downs receive a foul immediately.
Then 2 free throws were all hit!
Look at the score on the spot. 8:2! Rubio just got the basketball, and Li Feng has already gone back!
Basketball came to Wiggins this time, and Li Feng and Nick Young immediately went over to defend.
In the end, the basketball was interfered with by Nick Young!
But Zubac hasn't had time to defend yet! Fortunately, Lowe arrived in time to get the basketball.
Seeing the defensive state of the Timberwolves, cautiously go to the frontcourt.
Facing Rubio's defense, he finally hit the ground and passed to Li Feng.
The latter feint after receiving the ball and shook Dunn directly!
Wiggins couldn't see it well, so he immediately went over to help defend Li Feng, but at this time, the black question mark already understood what Li Feng meant.
He immediately ran in the opposite direction to Wiggins!
He got up to shoot a three-pointer when he got the basketball in the bottom corner, only to find that Downs had followed and directly put the ball cap out!
At this time, the Timberwolves' No. 1 Rubio, No. 3 Wiggins, and No. 4 and No. 5 can switch freely is Towns!
Such a lineup makes the Lakers players feel very difficult in terms of offense!
Li Feng, who got the ball, threw the ball directly to Lu Wei.
The latter didn't shoot right away, and Lan Dou finally received the pass, singled Gorgui with his back, and finally hit a 2-point shot!
Wiggins has been observing the Lakers players around him with his spare eyes, and finally hit a three-point shot next to Lowe!
Li Feng: "We have a gap in strength at present, so let's not let the score difference be too big." We'll figure it out later! ”
Saying that, Li Feng came to the front court with the ball, and he didn't pass the ball at this time, facing Wiggins and Rubio's bag, Li Feng's shot was directly cut by Rubio.
But Li Feng's reaction was faster than the two!
Immediately picked up the basketball, and saw that the two of them couldn't make fouls, and passed the ball to the unguarded Lu Wei.
The latter scored three points right away!
At this time, the opponent is playing with them with the full main lineup! And a lineup like the Lakers, if they can only maintain a difference of less than 10 points.
In the long run, the Lakers have an advantage!
Because of the long time, the players of the Timberwolves are bound to have a physical decline.
......
! The first quarter of the game was very painful for the Lakers, but what puzzled Kobe was that Wharton actually replaced Li Feng.
Russell and Lowe continued to play in the ring.
But fortunately, Lu Wei played well in the last less than six minutes.
Neither team shot well tonight, but apparently the Lakers were a bit worse.
A difference of 7 points! Wharton feels earned!
Former Chicago Bulls head coach Thibodeau has applied his defensive philosophy to the Timberwolves.
But in the short term, they can't just explode like the Bulls who had Rose in previous years!
The team was also limited a little by the heavy defense.
It seems that Thibodeau saw the other party's Wharton's thoughts and immediately put Rubio down.
Jones took off his jacket to warm up and came out onto the field.
On the Lakers' side, Zubac, who had been rapidly declining in physical fitness, went back with some chagrin at this time.
Wharton then let Lore Deng on the court, and Zubac felt like he was transparent in the first quarter.
You can't defend the rebounds, and you can't play the offense.
Then Nance Jr. and Li Feng came on the field. Louwe and Zubac walked back side by side.
In terms of scoring, Wharton asked the players to pass the ball mainly to Nance Jr. and Li Feng!
Back in the second quarter of the game, the Timberwolves are still strong!
According to Thibodeau's meaning, at this time, a lineup like the Lakers should stretch the difference to more than 10 points as soon as possible.
You don't have to think about anything else, you can just get to this point.
Jones carried the ball up front and easily passed Russell's defense.
Finally scored a direct jump shot on the Lakers' inside!
Li Feng: "For Wharton's style of play, we need to make some changes!" ”
Russell: "Huh? How to change? ”
At this time, Russell, who felt that he must lose this game, looked at Li Feng a little blankly.
Li Feng: "The division of labor between the two of us should be as vague as possible, don't score clearly, and don't be too clear that we are organizing the team."
Russell: "This...... How? ”
Li Feng: "Always fight according to the other party's opposite idea!" People think you're going to attack, you pass the ball. The opposite is true."
Russell nodded reluctantly. It's easy to say, but it's still a bit difficult to do.
Li Feng quickly held the ball across the half, and the two defenders he faced at this time were not weak in confrontation!
But when Li Feng pretended to shoot, he suddenly passed the ball to Russell!
The latter directly made a big move and pretended to break through, but suddenly took it back!
Dunn, who was just about to guard against him, was stunned directly.
Russell immediately got up and hit a 2-point shot on the line!
Russell, who tasted the sweetness, immediately laughed. Then he high-fived Li Feng who ran over!
Li Feng: "The reaction is still very fast~ Just fight like this!" Distract them! Mess up your opponent's rhythm!
We just need to know how to fight here! ”
At this time, Russell heard what Li Feng said, and gradually became excited!
It's like a game! A game of spinning on the court with the Timberwolves!
This time Dunn passed the ball to Downs. Facing the bag of Lore Deng and Randle, Downs missed the first attack!
There is still a gap between Lohrdeng and Zubac.
In the chaos Nance Jr. got the rebound, then Russell received his pass and rushed out!
Li Feng followed! He looked at Li Feng.
What the Timberwolves saw here was that Li Feng asked for the ball several times, but Russell didn't mean to give it to him!
Li Feng knew that Russell was already possessed by the spirit at this time~
Suddenly, Russell felt a chill down his spine and his hairs stood on end!
I saw that Wiggins was already waiting for him nearby! Russell still "went his own way" and feinted to make a layup.
But he passed the ball out when he took off!
Li Feng took his pass and hit a three-point shot directly!
Bursting cheers rang out over Staples Arena!
The other players of the Lakers have seen too little cooperation like this!
Kobe: "They didn't fight as you wanted?" It seems that Russell and Lee are playing the main offensive role in this game."
Wharton: "Tactics here, in my opinion, you don't have to do what I say.
Just like the Zen master back then. I've seen a lot of the games he's coached.
In my opinion, no matter what the tactics or the coordination between the players, as long as the end result is what I want, it's fine. ”
Kobe: "Well, it's a bit of a Jackson"
Wharton: "Li Feng can act as a conductor on the field. His potential is huge! I've got time, so I've got to talk to the team management about it.
Anyone can leave, but Li Feng can't go! ”
At this point, Wharton's eyes sparkled as if he was thinking about something.
Bryant: "Can I go too?" ”
Wharton: "You're being made fun of me!" You just want to stay! The salary is indispensable to you~ This matter is known to all fans in Los Angeles! ”
Kobe Bryant couldn't hold back his smile at this time, and slapped Wharton a few times with crooked eyes. Young people are very good at talking~
If you talk about how to train the players, if you let the players make a breakthrough in the game technique.
This is Bryant's specialty. Because he also studies the game, but focuses more on improving his skills.
So during the game he would ask some questions to Walton, who was already the head coach of the team.
Thibodeau: "The other side is cooperating. I said don't use the conventional image to play against the Lakers! They have changed! ”
