Chapter 124: Neural Dialogue...... (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, 3/3)
I thought I was a stone to the Lakers. I didn't want to be a stepping stone for them...... After this battle, there are more media reports on the Lakers! A Lakers with two superstars absent can play to this extent!
How ruthless are the Lakers going to be this season?! It's scary to think about! On the day of the game, Bryant contacted his psychiatrist......
"There's so much competition in BA, and you want to have a place here. Zhou Yang's words are similar to when you were young. The similarity is in his personal ability, you can admit it, it's really good."
"He messed up my period of time, I mean there will always be Zhou Yang in my head! Damn this damn guy!! "You still have to be careful as Kobe's psychiatrist, Kobe's behavior has sometimes seemed very irritable in recent years!!
There are times in the team where the manager doesn't pay attention to him. One of the reasons that can make Kobe Bryant so unpopular is the team's management's love for him and the market's optimism!
"Bryant, take a deep breath. Relax, I know you're not comfortable. But that's the way it is, the team paid to hire him, and you have to allow him to exist. ”
"This kid scored 30 points against the Magic!! In the future, maybe Jackson's ratio of playing time to players will change! This season they've brought in Odom, and this guy is pretty good too! We have a good relationship, but that's enough! Why do you want to have a Zhou Yang?! His arrival seems to have squeezed out Wharton's place and time! ”
The psychiatrist saw that Kobe Bryant was tired from the moment he entered the house. I guess I didn't sleep well last night. And then there's his sudden rage!
"You have to know that the purpose of the team is to make you get better results this year. There are also players who play and who don't are also up to the manager. It's all about Kobe, how do you fit into this new team, a team that doesn't have some of your former teammates, but you're still going to be together at the end of the season. I think Odom is more 'threatening' than Zhou Yang."
"......" Kobe Bryant didn't say anything when he heard this. The psychiatrist across from him, who looked to be in his 30s, sounded right. Odom is currently in the Lakers and can replace O'Neal as a center, or he can go to the No. 4 position right away.
There is also something I think about is how Zhou Yang can steal the limelight from him, but I don't think much about how far they can go with these teammates this season? Similar things were said to Zen masters, and friends outside the audience have told him.
But here the psychiatrist made him listen to him. Kobe Bryant went back and thought carefully about next season. If you continue to do this with O'Neill and Zhou Yang, this season will be wasted again.
They haven't won a championship since the Lakers won three in a row. The team also became torn apart. As long as the players he doesn't like in his eyes don't deliberately embarrass him, he will still join forces with them to hit the playoffs this season!
Even he felt like he was making a lot of noise. In the past, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal had a few seasons of trouble, and he didn't feel it. But today, he suddenly realized that he would only waste all his time on it by doing so.
The Zen master has been exhausted by O'Fat and Kobe Bryant in the past few years. And the attention is also on other players. Yes, you're superstars, but you don't care if you make it to the Western Conference finals or the Finals in the playoffs?
The team began training in the afternoon of the second day after the game against the Magic. Zhou Yang didn't spend much time with Linda. While the Spurs were playing against them, Linda flew back.
The last game intrigued Jackson. How far can such a Laker team go? If Kobe Bryant and O'Neal come back, will it discourage some of the Lakers' players now?
After their training in the afternoon, Zhou Yang will go to San Antonio with the team. They play back-to-back games with the Grizzlies immediately after the game, followed by a game against Cleveland the next day......
Unlike the ease of some time ago, they have to play in these games! The team is not weak! And the discussion on the Internet is getting louder! In this game, the Spurs' Popovich and the Lakers' Jackson are going to play their first game in the regular season!
Spurs style fans are there for all to see.
"We've been pretty nervous these days. A rising Lakers that's what their game with the Magic exemplifies what I just said. We've been talking to the manager about it for the past few days. The main question is can we win? It seems to be difficult."
After catching Parker in various ways, he said to the reporters present with a pessimistic face. And the reporters at the scene had a "we all understand" expression......
"You're going to ask me that question too? The Lakers, their Kobe Bryant, haven't come back yet, that's all. The big shark was injured too, right? Look! Neither of them is on the team, and the substitutes are so good. This game is hard to say, don't ask me if I win or lose, I'm annoyed~"
Popovich left the training gym immediately after speaking, and behind him was the laughter of reporters~ Hehe, will the favorite team be afraid of a bunch of Lakers' substitutes?
In this game, Jackson basically went to San Antonio with the idea of training. But he also expects more surprises from such Lakers.
"Spurs, I believe Fisher can feel the toughness of this team. They have always been players, with good individual ability, good coordination and the ability to quickly switch between attack and defense! If you let up, you're likely to run for garbage time until you fall inside and have no way to fight back......"
It was very quiet in the away training gym. The whole team came to the sidelines after training and began to listen to Jackson about his thoughts and set-up for the game.
"This team could have given us two defeats in the regular season. There's a good chance we'll meet them in the playoffs or even in the Western Conference finals! It's a calm team. I hope you don't take it lightly......"
Much like the training these days, they memorized Jackson's next assignment again.
After the Lakers came here without Kobe and O'Neal, they still attracted a group of Lakers fans who came to watch the game! The wooden signs they were holding were all written with the names of Zhou Yang and Odom!
The cooperation between these two on the field is still good! Today, Zhou Yang used the three skills of "Mutombo rebounding dominance", "Fisher cold arrow three-point" and "Yao Ming feint"!
Players from both sides began to warm up on the spot, and Duncan was holding the basketball and smashing the basketball hoop there...... After a while, Tim immediately rushed to the Lakers, shot a few baskets, and ran back......
No one could guess what he was thinking. And these have long been accustomed to Spurs. Only the Lakers players looked at the Spurs from time to time. Duncan was found to be alone and ran to the basketball hoop to take the ball and smash it up.
Players from both sides came to the court to stand up, and the Spurs started today with Duncan, Robert, Finley, Parker, and Ginobili. On the Lakers' side, Odom, Zhou Yang, Brown, Fisher and Wharton are in order!
Unlike previous games, the competition with the Spurs must have players with good ball quotient on the field! They can quickly analyze the situation on the field and make good judgments!
It will not be like some players with low ball quotient who are completely like "covering their heads" and going on a rampage to play with each other. If that's the case, it's time for the Spurs to laugh.
"Now is the peak state of this team," Zhou Yang thought. The Spurs can now win a championship as long as they play well in the playoffs!!
The basketball went straight to Duncan!
"It's the first time we've met! Hello wow~" Duncan said after seeing Zhou Yang beside him. As a result, Zhou Yang listened to "Are you playing well". What does that mean? The same is true of the main Duncan?
"I'll know when I'm okay~" Zhou Yang threw down a sentence and ran away. He's going to keep an eye on Robert.
“???” Duncan didn't understand what was going on and almost had an "8-second violation". Ginobili only reacted when he got the ball in his hand. Robert took the basketball, Finley quickly hit the basket and took the ball to score directly to the basket!!
Did Duncan see the goal? Run back now! The opposing players work together very smoothly! The offense just now made the players on the Lakers' side feel the pressure! Are you all ready to defend or be easily scored by the opponent!
Fisher held the ball across the halfcourt, and Wharton didn't have three points after taking the basket! Odom gets stuck by Tim!! Zhou Yang immediately jumped up and got the rebound next to Robert and Finley! As soon as he wanted to reach out and shake his fingers, he immediately put away this action again!
The "Mutombo Rebounding" skill triggers this action sometimes...... Fortunately, he controlled it in time. Odom finally came out at this time to ask for the ball! After receiving Zhou Yang's pass, he turned around and jumped and was directly hit out by Tim, who had just arrived!
Brown didn't have a jumper after getting the ball! Ginobili took the basketball and went straight to the front court to pass the ball to Finley! Fisher wanted to break the ball, and the basketball went straight to Parker! The latter also glanced back, and when he was sure that he really couldn't catch up, he jumped three points and passed through the net!
The other party was not in a hurry at all, so he naturally scored. Fisher passed the ball to Zhou Yang after half time! The atmosphere in the audience was immediately lively!
The rookie scored 30 points in the last game, and the Magic have not been interviewed by players until now! In the battle with Finley, Zhou Yang felt that the opponent's strength and speed were good! There is not two points of long distance immediately when there is a chance!
However, he saw that the angle of grabbing rebounds at this time was good! But instead of doing that, he dunked next to the Spurs players and scored after a self-steal! 5:2!
"Capable of it," Popovich thought to himself, nodding. It's a piece of cake to deal with such Lakers~ But what if those two come back? It's an interesting situation.
Parker watched as the Lakers player slowly dribbled the ball forward, Finley got the basketball and passed the ball to Duncan, and immediately Brown and Odom went over to wrap it up! Finley got the ball again and passed it to Ginobili!
But the demon knife ran towards this head 2 seconds before Finley's pass! After the ball is in his hand, he changes direction and gets a jump shot after passing Fisher!
The Zen master sighed slightly when he saw this. The Spurs' offense if the Lakers could learn something...... Now the opposing team's players are working together exactly what Jackson wants!
"Do you think I'm okay?" Zhou Yang suddenly came out of nowhere after meeting Duncan in the front court with the ball.
"Why do you ask this?" Duncan was stunned, what does this mean?
"Didn't you pick it up first?" After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he immediately passed the ball to Luke's side. Duncan continued to defend against Odom in a daze.
After Luke dribbled to the Spurs' interior line, he suddenly split the ball to Fisher, who ran to the bottom corner! The latter hit a direct jumper three-point shot! Today's small fish play is still stable!
"What are the odds that we will win this game?" Vincent asked the Zen master at this time.
"It's small, it's almost nonexistent. This game is really a drill," although he knew that Jackson was going to say something similar, Vincent was still surprised when the other party said it.
Could it be that the Magic, who won the last game with such a strong strength, don't have a better chance of winning here?! He didn't know anything about the Spurs. And Jackson, who has played against this team over the years, knows how strong the other party really is.
The first point is that if a team wants to win, the Spurs, who are in good form without injuries, must have a star in the team. This is the most basic, and then the whole team must be united!
Defend hard! That's right, it's not about stepping up defense, it's about being ruthless against the Spurs! Not only do you have to do your best to cut off the connection between their players, but you also have to guard off the player next to you!
If it is reasonable to say in terms of scoring, then it is basically possible to win against Spurs. The opponent did a good job in rebounding! And their outside shooting accuracy is not low either!
Finley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and after Parker got the ball, he directly got past the opponent when Wharton was not paying attention, and then passed the ball to Robert after pretending to shoot at Zhou Yang. Duncan took Robert's ball in the air and smashed it directly! 9:5!
Wharton dribbled the ball in the front court a few times to see that he was not sure, and then handed the ball to Zhou Yang, facing Finley's defense, Zhou Yang directly stepped back and shot a three-point shot into the basket!! That's the most active player on the Lakers right now!
Duncan noticed that Zhou Yang was quite good except for what he didn't understand. Originally, after watching the video of the last Lakers game, he wanted to say hello to Zhou Yang today.
It turned out that there was something wrong with the communication between the two people...... Ginobili held the ball across half court and went straight to Brown after passing Luke and Fisher!
After watching Brown be passed by the demon knife, the Lakers bench thought that Ginobili was going to succeed again. But at this moment, Zhou Yang suddenly came out and directly gave Ginobili a big hot pot!!
The Lakers bench exploded directly! This cap is so powerful!! The Lakers coaching staff also had an excited discussion. Jackson glanced back and continued to watch the game, only then his eyes began to glow a little.
