Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris's tactical explanation is a bit endless, of course, he himself may not have the energy to continue after seeing that the players did not listen too carefully, and after a brief summary, he decided to let us actually conduct tactical drills.

In fact, since the beginning of this season, Silver Fox Harris has actually practiced the Lakers' tactics too much, in fact, I think he should strengthen more training and reinforcement in this area, so that our Lakers players can have a better sense of tactical execution.

Silver Fox Harris's tactical system is actually more based on high blocking as the basic tactical point, and Shaq is the biggest core of our Lakers' tactical system, and most of the tactical initiation and execution still need him to participate in it.

However, Shaq has a problem that is still quite difficult to solve, that is, most of the time Shaq prefers to directly receive the ball on the inside line to attack, rather than participating in the tactics of high blocking and dismantling, before the silver fox Harris is actually more in line with Shak's meaning, there is no mandatory requirement that he must come to play high blocking and dismantling tactics, but today's silver fox Harris seems to be a little tougher than usual, and he clearly requires Shaq to participate in the overall tactical implementation of the team, Because many teams will now target him very much, so in order for him and the Lakers as a whole to play better, it is necessary to make some adjustments to the low execution of the Lakers' tactics in the past.

Shaq was more obedient today, did not question the demands of head coach Silver Fox Harris, and even showed good enthusiasm after the start of tactical training.

In fact, Shaq's high-post blocking power is extremely powerful, because he has strong movement and finishing ability under the basket, if he can cooperate with a guard with a high single threat or strong organizational ability, then Shaq's power will inevitably be greatly improved.

Of course, now that I'm in the Lakers' starting lineup, it means that this pick-and-roll point of possession will normally be me, and although the Lakers' starting point guard can do the same thing, his height and actual court lethality are still not as good as mine.

However, this tactic of blocking and picking in the high post is also very simple to say, so after practicing a few times, Shaq began to look listless again, as if everything was too simple to touch his nerves.

The Silver Fox Harris also noticed this, and decided to let the team start a more complex tactical drill, which is mainly aimed at the team's off-ball pitchers, and the whole team needs to create as much better space for the pitchers as possible through tactical movement.

Under the new system of Silver Fox Harris, I became the backcourt point of possession, and the original Lakers' starting point guard became the off-ball offensive point, I don't know if this arrangement is reasonable, but since the previous tactics have proven to be inefficient, we might as well practice some new tactics.

In the new tactics, Shaq will not go to the inside line to ask for the ball at the beginning, but to carry out some cover for me holding the ball on the flank, but then the tactical changes are more complicated, and will be temporarily responded to according to the actual personnel arrangements of the opposing team.

When the small player pulls the opponent out of the inside box, Shaq will take advantage of the situation to cut inside, of course, if the outside player has the opportunity, he will shoot directly, and Shaq is responsible for fighting for offensive rebounds.

Overall, I personally think that this set of offensive tactics is still relatively good, and when facing a team that is not very strong inside, it is good to pass the ball directly to Shaq, if the opponent is crazy to pack Shaq, then you need to use another set of tactics.

Shaq will generally be caught in the low position after receiving the ball, at this time the opponent's defense will generally carry out a certain contraction, in the face of the team with a faster contraction speed, Shaq needs to be able to pass the ball out in time, but if the opponent's defense shrinks slowly, then Shaq himself can completely attack before the opponent is trapped.

The key problem is how to make Shaq improve his passing awareness, the current situation, in fact, Shaq's passing ability is still above average among the interior players, in fact, a player's passing ability is good or not, and the passing ability of a player with strong ball control ability will not be bad.

Shaq can dribble many times by himself from the backcourt to the front court to complete a one-stop attack, which fully shows that he has a certain basic dribbling ability, so I believe that his basic passing skills should not be too bad, and the fundamental reason for his poor passing in the actual game is that he has poor passing awareness, and he is not able to pass the ball to his teammates in the first time and the best time, which delays the key offensive nodes, and also leads to the Lakers' outside receiving and shooting players can not play more efficiently.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris finally decided to let me enter the start, which means that he prefers to let me, an outside player, initiate the team's tactics, because Shaq is too easy to be affected by the opponent's bag when he takes the ball directly, and because Shaq's passing awareness is not good, he can only be the end point of the ball, and cannot be a good tactical starting point, the best way is to let Shaq be a non-ball endpoint.

This will not only greatly reduce the defensive intensity that Shaq receives, but also further improve Shaq's offensive efficiency and reduce his mistakes after being trapped, and it can also slightly increase the overall pace of the Lakers' game, so that every ball does not have to be played into a slow positional battle.

I followed the idea that head coach Silver Fox Harris told me to conduct tactical exercises, in fact, I have to say that Silver Fox Harris's tactical literacy is actually really good, and he even has a lot of tactical standards I feel like is above Phil Jackson, but it is still the point I said before, the biggest gap between him and Phil Jackson is the management level, he may actually be better as an assistant coach, let Phil Jackson be the head coach, I think this season's Lakers can beat Jordan's Chicago Bulls, of course, this season's Chicago Bulls head coach is still Phil Jackson, so he can't go to the Lakers to beat himself, hahaha!

After Shaq liberated his mind, he also seemed to find that he was very powerful when he played without the ball, of course, I can't just treat Shaq as a big pie king, but it must be said that if Shaq is allowed to concentrate on eating cakes, there will be nothing to do with the cake king, and the inside line is finale, haha.

In this season's regular season, our Lakers team actually played against several teams with a Hall of Fame level top interior line, and the Houston Rockets we are going to face again tonight have an old enemy of Shaq, Dameng Olajuwon, who once taught Shaq a hard lesson in the playoffs, can be regarded as one of the five strongest centers in history, whether it is offensive defense or technology, it is the top existence.

Shaq in the head-to-head battle with the big dream, in fact, although the shooting percentage and data look good, but the overall rhythm of the game is always firmly controlled on the side of the big dream, I wonder if the big dream Olajuwon will face a Shaq who can play without the ball, what kind of defensive strategy will Shaq have, but tonight Shaq will really be willing to play without the ball?

Especially in the face of big dreams, I think Shaq is likely to be enthusiastic again, and forget all the tactics and the like in one go, of course, it is not excluded that there is a possibility, that is, there may be more than one person who is hot-blooded, Shaq, and myself, hahaha, after all, I am Kobe Bryant now, and I am the only one in singles!

The tactical drill lasted for nearly an hour, and it can be said that this kind of tactical drill in our team today is quite detailed, and it should be of some help to the future games, but there is still a process for the new tactical application, and it is unlikely that there will be a drastic change immediately.

Because the tactical drill time is relatively long, we did not have a group confrontation training this afternoon, and head coach Silver Fox Harris explained his tactical thinking and the team's tactical focus at the end of the practice, aiming to impress the Lakers players.

The rest of the time is left to the players to figure it out, and in two hours our Lakers vs. Rockets game will begin, the last time we beat them on the Rockets' home court, this time they will definitely go all out against us, after all, we are a very important competition in the West, and we may meet in the playoffs, and a victory in the regular season can give the playoffs some psychological advantage.

I didn't do any more basketball training for the next two hours, but went to dinner and then rested for a while, and I called Jessica to talk to Sir Faustin about Sir Faustin and his estate.

Jessica's tone on the phone was a little low, as if something not very good had happened, and Jessica finally said it under my questioning, it turned out that the closure of the Los Angeles Museum of History this morning really had a close relationship with Sir Faustin and his estate, in fact, it was less than three hours after Jessica and I left the Los Angeles History Museum yesterday.

At about 8:40 p.m., some masked monsters broke into the museum and stole a large number of important historical documents, but surprisingly the equipment in the museum did not respond at the time, and even the video footage of these intruders was hidden at the time.

It wasn't until the museum opened in the morning that the staff discovered the fact that a large number of artifacts had been stolen, and then the police intervened to investigate the matter, because there were some parts of the lost documents with a high level of security, so the FBI and CIA would enter one after another, but as for why the media received the news so early, it is still a mystery.

In fact, many media outlets got the news even before the police got the news, which in itself is an illogical thing, unless there are other people who know about this matter, and this person is likely to be the murderer, but the real purpose of the murderer is unknown.

Jessica also used some special connections to obtain information about the missing documents, and at least one thing was certain, and that was the historical information about Sir Faustin and his estate

It was lost in this incident, but it is still unknown what the highly secure data is determined by the government agency.

I can't go into more details with Jessica on the phone, so I'll have to wait until after tonight's game and then we'll have a good conversation.

I lay down on the stool in the locker room and took a nap, and all kinds of images came to my mind, everything I had experienced and discovered with Jessica in the past two days, and the two-on-two scene with Shaq before, in short, my mind was very chaotic right now, but I really wanted to calm it down so that I could concentrate on the next game.

Half an hour later, the Lakers' game against the Houston Rockets was about to begin, and the crowd on the sidelines was unusually enthusiastic, thinking that the last time we visited the Toyota Center, those Rockets fans didn't seem to have much energy, at least in terms of momentum, they couldn't compare to our Great Lakers fans.

Anyway, the Rockets also have a luxury triumvirate composed of Big Dream Olajuwon, Flying Pig Charles Barkley, and Glider Drexler, plus a group of star players on our Lakers side, it is impossible to say that there is no popularity and no box office appeal, plus this game is broadcast live in the United States, I heard Jessica say that the ticket price of this game has increased several times before the game.

Sure enough, I was on the starting list, and I was finally able to hear my name when the host read out the team's starters one by one at the opening ceremony.

Shaq and Olajuwon jumped the ball at the beginning, I originally thought that Shaq jumped the ball easily, maybe Shaq himself thought so, so he didn't exert much force, but Olajuwon jumped the ball more seriously today than last time, and the result really jumped the ball, and the Rockets took the lead in attacking.

I started the game directly against the Rockets' star guard Drexler, and the Rockets' first game of the game turned out to be a tactic that pulled away and let him single me.

They may think I'm a rookie and I've just been put on the starting lineup, so I shouldn't have a problem playing with Drexler's strength, and it's a good opportunity to kill my sharpness.

Of course, I wasn't that easy to deal with, because I knew in my heart that if the first goal in the opening game and the first defense after I became a starter, it would still affect my confidence a little bit.

I lowered my weight a little bit first, in fact I had a few minutes with the glider in the last game against the Rockets, but it didn't seem like he was attacking me with all his might at the time, so this was the perfect time to get a good look at what he really was capable of.

I'm still more cautious when defending him, because the glider not only has a strong ability to break through and impact the basket, but also has a fairly stable mid-range pull-up jump shot, just like Jordan, another scoring guard of his era, they are actually the same type of player, but the glider does not have the absolute dominance of the old man on both the offensive and defensive ends.

So defending the glider is the same as defending Jordan, if I can defend the glider, then it is possible to prevent His Majesty the Flying Flyer, if I can't even defend the glider, I will naturally be abused by Jordan to cry.

The glider held the ball outside the three-point line to observe my defensive movements, and seemed to find that my defense didn't seem to have much holes, I leaned sideways to give him a breakable route, and there was Shaq behind me to protect the basket, so I was not afraid to leak the baseline to him, of course, it was also risky to do so, I am now betting that his starting speed is not particularly fast, I can keep up with his speed after he starts, and then I can limit his breakthrough speed, and finally use Shaq's help defense to lock him completely.

Of course, the experienced glider naturally wouldn't be so easily fooled, and then he turned his back and prepared to hit me with his feet, his back skills were quite exquisite, and the most important thing was that I knew that the glider's mid-range jumper was very accurate, and it wasn't even under Joe's help.

I didn't have the strength to hold the glider at this point, and as I stepped back, it seemed to be within the range of the glider's attack, and the glider first made a low-post tentative move, and I didn't eat his feint, but then the feint turned into a turnaround and backward jumper.

I can't continue to block him, I can only pray that he can't shoot this ball.

It's a pity that the basketball still flew into the basket perfectly, which is probably his real strength, just a small space can make a turnaround jumper, and his backlash is very large, and it is difficult to block normally, not to mention that I thought he was just a feint, and I didn't think of it and shot directly.

It's not a particularly good shooting rhythm, and it's hard to get the ball in without a long and hard workout.

So just through this one goal, I can see the hard power of the glider galloping on the field for many years.

Even though I didn't defend the ball in the end, it wasn't useless to be able to force Drexler to attack with such a difficult shot in the first round.

In the next offensive round, I received the ball at a three-point and 45-degree angle, and Shaq originally wanted to receive the ball in the low post, but he seemed to think of something, and he actually took the initiative to play a high pick-and-roll with me, and the person who used this pick-and-roll to defend Shaq was rotated to a glider Drexler, and the player who defended me was rotated to Olajuwon.

Shaq then quickly interspersed with the Rockets' inside, and when I saw Shaq's inside cutting speed so fast, I was about to pass him an advance amount, so I threw the ball directly inside.

Drexler couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw Shaq's huge size, and by the time he tried to jump up to intercept the pass, Shaq was already in the air, and a powerful aerial relay slam dunk was completed.

This time the offense was quite simple and fluid, and it only took a high post to get a good offensive opportunity, and it seems that the team tactics we practiced before the game can still come in handy.

In the next offensive round, Drexler was no longer the team's main point of attack, and it seems that they also found that my point was not a defensive weakness, and they turned to the main point of attack on Sir Barkley at the power forward position, and the Lakers player he was playing against was Robert Horry, who was not very heavy, and still suffered a lot when defending strong low-post players like Shaq and Barkley.

Barkley's low singles are very aggressive, his whole range of movement is very large, although his height and arm span are very poor among interior players, but because his body is extremely explosive, so he can often complete offensive actions at a very fast rate of action, many times even if someone clamps him, you will find that he is like a loach of a sliding hand, and he has successfully completed the attack before your bag is formed.

Judging from the two goals at the beginning, the main way of the Rockets is still based on positional battles, and I think the bosses of these three teams have now entered the tacit understanding of their careers, and their own style of play is like this, so the overall pace of the game with this Rockets team should be relatively slow.

Sure enough, when Van Exel and I tried to wrap Barkley, he was like he had many pairs of eyes, and he knew everything on the court at all times, and he was just halfway through our packing, and Barkley took advantage of a turn to turn to the bottom of the basket.

It's just that Shaq's attention was relatively focused after the start of the game, and he found Barkley's cut along the baseline in time, and appeared in the right defensive position at the right time.

Barkley entered the box and found that Shaq's huge belly was really waiting for him, and he had to pass the ball out of the box again.

Probably because Barkley had a good timing of the pass this time, and after attracting the wrap-around defense of our Lakers perimeter players, he also successfully passed the ball to their perimeter pitchers.

Bent the bow and arrow, and a large two-point shot that stepped on the three-point line struck, rewriting the score to 4-2.

We didn't have time to think about the ball, so Shaq quickly threw the ball at me, and I dribbled the ball through the half court as soon as I received the ball, looking for an attacking opportunity on the field.

The Rockets have a few old arms and legs, but their overall defensive speed is very fast, showing the tactical quality that a strong team should have, at least against their starting lineup, I still have a hard time finding easy opportunities to play fast.

Unlike the huge advantage I had against the substitutes, I obviously felt more psychological pressure when I got into the starting line-up, but the pressure on the pitch was definitely noticeable.

After seeing that there was no good opportunity to launch a fast attack, I dribbled the ball steadily outside the three-point line, waiting for my teammates to completely settle down, but in fact, if I didn't wait for them, I had some opportunities to directly impact the basket, even if the Rockets' defense speed was fast, but they couldn't all retreat so fast, with my speed, there was still a chance to hit the basket at the first time.

But this time I didn't do that, after all, I'm now the starting point of the team's starters, and I can't just think about myself attacking completely, and it would be nice to be able to connect talented teammates.

However, when I had the ball in hand and had to think about organizing the team, I realized that it was really tiring to play like this, mainly psychologically, and the things that need to be considered are completely different from when I just do a single point with the ball or a point without the ball.

Of course, I'm actually the one who needs to use my individual singles ability to create an advantage for the team, so I'm going to go to the singles glider this round and see what the Rockets' overall defensive strategy looks like.

I asked my teammates to open up the space directly, and then I was going to single Drexler, but I forgot one thing, which is that Shaq can't open up space for me, even if Shaq is really standing outside the three-point line, Olajuwon can't defend Shaq, so it's actually very difficult for me to break through to successfully impact the Rockets

Of course, there are no absolutes, as long as my breakthrough speed is fast enough, maybe there are still some opportunities.

My current back-to-back singles skills have not yet been fully developed, and I don't have the confidence to use back-to-back skills to eat the experienced glider Drexler, but I have an advantage over him, that is, I am younger and more impactful, and I believe that as long as the determination to impact the interior is strong enough, even if the Rockets have Olajuwon on the inside, I still have a chance.

Thinking of this, I decisively dribbled the ball on the perimeter, and then began to observe Drexler's defensive habits, such as whether he was left-handed or right-handed, which foot was in front and which foot was behind when defending, and the direction of his sideways.

All the details on the pitch can be the key point for you to read the game, as long as you know what you need the most information, and of course when I have more and more opponents in the future, I will have more and more experience in analysing different types of opponents.

Sometimes the simplest action is the most effective, and there is some truth to this sentence.

I used my favourite crossstep again, which impressed me the last time I faced Iverson, and I've been using it a lot since then.

However, this action is good for everything, but it is easy to cause excessive wear and tear to the ankle due to overuse, and you can use more of this action that requires joint force when you are young, and you will not be able to use it much when you are older.

At this time, my body is light, my core strength is strong, and the rhythm of dribbling changes quickly, and the most critical point is that I specially found Iverson's previous high school game video to watch, and secretly learned a hand of his body change of direction moves, and now the average level of defensive players in the NBA can't prevent my hand.

The glider Drexler couldn't stop me from changing direction in front of my body, and when I pulled the ball from my right hand to my left hand at a very fast speed, his whole center of gravity was suddenly pulled over by me, and when he leaned towards my left hand, I switched the ball from behind me to my right hand, and there was a big gap in my right hand.

I seized this short gap and rushed straight to the inside, in fact, Olajuwon didn't react at the first time, because my movement was fast and stealthy at the same time, although with his defensive awareness, he was able to make up for it quickly.

I was a little upset that I had the glider Drexler shoot a ball over my head, so I decided to hit the ball back in the face.

What was supposed to be an offense that could have ended with a low-handed layup or a small toss was told to do it with a hard dunk and give the Rockets a heavy blow.

There were no defenders in front of me, but I was still a few meters away from the basket, and I certainly couldn't jump straight from close to the free throw line, but when I sprinted one step inside, the reinforcement from Olajuwon arrived.

His pace is really amazing, especially among interior players, and it's no wonder that he has the record for the most blocks in history, if the average person faces this situation, it will definitely be a little panicked, but I won't, I'm Kobe!

Decisively stepped on the ground with one foot, and smashed the ball to the basket with his head and face in the face of the big dream Olajuwon's block.

My whole body was thrown into the sky.

The referee's whistle blew and in the end I couldn't make the dunk, Olajuwon's arm pressed against my arm, so I couldn't fully jump, but just as I was about to hit the ground, I threw the ball in the direction of the rebound.

The ball went in, it worked, and I played a two-and-one against Olajuwon.

At this moment, the whole Staples was silent for a moment, and then broke out into earth-shattering cheers, which was really moving, and the most embarrassing thing about the Lakers was the fan atmosphere at Staples Arena, where there are the best fans in the world, and I am willing to repay them with the best skills in the world.

Big Dream Olajuwon looked at me in disbelief and looked at the referee again, muttering something in his mouth, and then looked at the replay screen on the big screen, the picture clearly showed the slow motion of the whole process, I felt a little incredible after seeing it, I was really like suffocating when I was pressed by Olajuwon's arm just now, and in the end, after I threw the ball, the whole person seemed to have a long-buried anger.

I closed my eyes and threw the ball to the basket, and after the free throw was made, the Lakers regained the lead to 5-4 and the game continued.

In the next few minutes of the first quarter, the Lakers and the Rockets had a fierce offensive battle, not because the two sides were unwilling to work defense, but because both sides felt surprisingly good on the offensive end today, and the goals that should or should not have been scored seemed to have been scored, in fact, this time the game between the two sides was very different from the last time they met.

On our Lakers' side, it is naturally because of the change of starters, coupled with some new tactics rehearsed before the game, so that the original relatively monotonous tactics have changed to a certain extent, and on the other hand, the Rockets' competitive state today came very early, and they must have been planning to get back in this game after they lost to our Lakers in the last game, so they must have made full preparations before the game.

At least on the court, the whole Rockets team seems to be very flexible, and their tactics were originally relatively simple, because there are three Hall of Fame players on the team, and naturally many times they will choose to dictate the course of the game by trusting the individual abilities of the stars.

However, today's Rockets are a little different, their tactics have become diverse, there are singles and cooperation, and the offensive and defensive connection is smooth, and the tacit understanding between the whole team is quite amazing.

Probably because the offense was too fluid and there weren't too many foul free throws, and by the halfway point of the first quarter, neither coach called a timeout, and the game naturally entered the official timeout.

For the team's performance today, head coach Silver Fox Harris is quite satisfied, although we were not able to open the score with the Rockets at this time, but it is indeed no problem in terms of offensive smoothness, and it seems to prove that his tactical system is quite powerful, but when it comes to the defensive end Harris is still slightly discolored, he pointed out that the team can do better on the defensive end, such as playing every position, grabbing every rebound, and doing every retreat.

Today's Lakers team is also much more obedient than usual, not only did no one say anything to refute the head coach Silver Fox Harris's words, but they all nodded obediently yes, which really surprised me.

If these Lakers teammates can play like they did today every time, maybe our Lakers still have a lot of potential to become a top team.

Overall, the timeout straightened the defensive attitude of the players, and it also made the first changes to the line-up, and I was back on the bench to rest, along with Robert Horry.

I didn't quite understand the purpose of the substitution of Harris the Silver Fox, so I could just go to the bench and sit down and continue to watch the game continue on the court.

The Rockets also made two substitutions after the timeout, but their Big Three were still on the court, and Eddie Jones became a key target for Drexler after he came on the court.

In the last game between our Lakers and the Rockets, Eddie Jones suffered a lot of losses when he was defending Drexler, and this time Drexler saw him on the court and immediately began to dominate the Rockets' offense, and almost every ball became the starting point for his tactics.

Of course, after all, Drexler's physical fitness is not as good as that of Eddie Jones, who has just come on the court, and two consecutive singles have not been able to take advantage of Eddie Jones.

However, Eddie Jones also looked cold after coming back, and even threw an open three-stick ball, and I don't know if it was because he felt a little nervous because he played as a substitute for the first time.

After the big dream Olajuwon won the rebound, he quickly passed it to the glider who was already on the fast break, and the glider quickly hoisted the ball to Barkley, who was already stuck in the Lakers' interior line, and the Lakers' new power forward couldn't bear Barkley's huge ass at all, and he pushed a few times and arched directly from the free throw line to the basket, and before Shaq came to make up for the defense, he hit the basket with a small hook.

At this time, I found that the three old guys of the Rockets were not tired because they played half a quarter, but they were a little more and more excited, as if they had just warmed up and entered the best state of their bodies.

However, our Lakers side is a little tired, especially Shaq, his physical fitness can only last for seven or eight minutes of continuous explosion, after the initial momentum has passed, it is still a bit difficult for him to chisel the inside line of the Rockets jointly guarded by Olajuwon and Barkley ball by ball.

Even if Shaq is still playing now, I don't know why he lost the kind of offense he had at the beginning, standing near the free throw line on the offensive end, and even standing outside the three-point line later, I don't know what offensive threat he can stand there.

Of course, the basketball court has always been one thing and the other's strengths, and the culprit that caused Shaq to look like this must be the interior defense master Olajuwon, at this time Olajuwon should have already taken out his housekeeping skills, and Shaq had been defended several times before, which directly made Shak's heart depressed for most of the time, as if to make Shaq dream back to the tragic situation of being swept in the playoffs.

Shaq's psychological endurance is really not strong enough in the end, sometimes he likes to play emotional ball, and sometimes he still can't hold his breath when he is deliberately stimulated by his opponent, but he is a big shark when he is excited to play, and if he is depressed, he is a clownfish.

With the decline in Shaq's game status, the entire Lakers team lacked the necessary offensive strength, and was suddenly hit by the Rockets in a wave of 10-0 attacks in two minutes, and by the time the Silver Fox Harris remembered to call a timeout, the Lakers had been overtaken by the Rockets by six points.

There were less than 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.
