Jackson is just because he is his own team, so sometimes for the players, he doesn't express his appreciation too much. He's going to keep the mentality of the players at a normal level.

You praise him all the time, some of his players can play the game until they can't make the playoffs, do you believe it or not? And the duties you mean are likely to appear in a loose style in the game on the field, and the opponent will scatter as soon as he plays hard. The team's morale has slipped too fast.

Therefore, Zen masters still attach more importance to these aspects. The regular season is still about letting the players play casually, and you don't have too many requirements in terms of training and some tactical arrangements. If you train, it's up to the players whether you train with the team and stop practicing like Cook and stop practicing at every turn, or if you get up early and train late like Kobe and Fisher like Kobe and Fisher.

107：101！ The game went fast. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Suns and lost the game. Just a preseason game. But even so, Kobe Bryant got a terrifying statistic of 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists!

He's been on the court for less than two quarters! Judging from the chat between Kobe Bryant and his teammates after the game, Kobe Bryant did not play to his full strength. "This shooting training game feels good~" This is Kobe's evaluation of this game......

Maddy of the Rockets, Iverson of the 76ers, Wade of the Heat, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers! These players now have the ability to score like crazy on the field! Kobe Bryant's performance in the game is more accustomed to Zen masters, but he is still a little excited when he sees Kobe Bryant score one after another.

This is the biggest capital for their Lakers to compete for a championship every season! Of course, it's when the atmosphere of the whole team is okay. A few years ago, Jackson really wanted Bass to trade Kobe Bryant.

But since last season, when Bryant approached him to talk about tactics and other things, Jackson has let go of such thoughts. Dr. Buss feels like the Lakers are about to usher in a new peak after a few years of troughs!

The first thing he thought of in the coaching area was that Phil couldn't go! But what he can't decide this time is that the Zen master now just wants to take a break after playing this season. I don't know how many years it was. Maybe it's really like the outside world wears, Phil is retiring and starting to go the team management route.

Zhou Yang's playing time is not short, and he is about to catch up with Kobe's playing time, but he only got 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. A lot of media are also watching the Asian player in this game.

But at the beginning of the game, after covering Barbosa and getting the ball, it didn't seem to be a good performance. And looking at the data, it seems to be a little lower than everyone expected. After the brief press conference, Zhou Yang couldn't wait to register a Twitter account in the taxi.

But for a while, I didn't know what to say in the first sentence. Searching for Kobe's name, a selfie of him from his hospital bed immediately appeared in front of his eyes. Thinking back to the days when Kobe Bryant trained with himself after he was discharged from the hospital. This picture must be a few months old, right?

After returning to his residence, Zhou Yang immediately turned on the computer, held back for a long time, and finally decided to eat first......

......

"Pistons, you guys are waiting for an early holiday this season!" The speed of the media is still a little slower. At more than 22 o'clock in the evening of the same day, Zhou Yang posted this tweet, and just an hour later, it was immediately retweeted by many people!

What everyone saw was a bed with the No. 15 Lakers jersey on it! As long as you follow the Lakers game or know who Zhou Yang is, basketball lovers can basically recognize it at a glance! Isn't this Zhou Yang?!

Then Zhou Yang posted a selfie photo of himself walking outside. Overnight, his Twitter gained more than 37,000 followers!

He searched his Lakers players and found that there are currently only 5 people who have registered for Twitter, namely Odom, Kobe, O'Neal, Meme and Wharton, counting himself as 6.

Kobe Bryant has the most fans, already 872,000! Odom also has no less than 410,000 fans! O'Neill just signed up for a tweet and didn't post anything, and now he has more than 190,000 followers...... Mime tweeted the most, with 31! 5231 followers! Wharton's followers: 869 people......

It seems that everyone's attention to the Lakers is still more about O'Neal and Kobe, and Odom's words are rising rapidly in both popularity and influence at this time!

Twitter has been around for a few months now, but it's still a novelty. It's rarely discussed in the traditional media. But gradually people found that the news on Twitter spread quickly!

On the other hand, the number of Twitter registrations is increasing rapidly! At 4 o'clock in the morning the next day, the Pistons' official Twitter responded to Zhou Yang's first tweet, "Let's see who has the holiday first."

The incident was not reported until about 2 p.m. the next day, when the traditional media reported the incident. On this day, Mime also returned from injury. What Coach Jackson meant was to keep Mime training in the gym for a few more days so he wouldn't have to play in the next three games of the preseason.

As a result, to the surprise of the Zen master, Mime directly pushed off 4 games. Said he wanted to train more.

Phil nodded in relief when he heard this, he didn't have much hope for a player like Meme. Because they have been playing for so many years, Mime's personal results are still not improving.

Maybe if he's lucky, he can get a salary of $2 million to $4 million a year for other teams. Mime, who fought hard in the game, really made a good impression. But his speed sometimes can't keep up with the other side, which is a very fatal shortcoming.

......

"How's the practice, Meme?" After a short training session today, the team will play a game at home against the Mavericks. Mime is still training.

"The three-point shooting is really ...... When I was doing three-point training, I felt like I was picking up a basketball for the first time," Mime said to Zhou Yang with some frustration.

"And how about your long-range jumper?" When the two began to communicate, the surrounding Lakers players began to look lively~

"Mime~ You don't have to give me $50,000. $30,000 How about I teach you a three-point shot for a week? Everyone laughed when Smush finished speaking.

"Be careful, Mime's future three points are more powerful than you~" After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the teammates around him who were resting laughed even more happily~ Mime felt a little embarrassed at this time.

"Ignore them, you haven't answered me yet"

"If the three-point shot is changed to a long-range shot, it will still be a lot closer, and I am sure I will score more points."

"It's not that you don't shoot threes, now you're going to play. Let's shoot from a distance in the game, but it's not a long-range three-point ......."

"I'll play in the next game, Zhou Yang"

"Relax, the manager didn't give up on you. You've still had a lot of weight with the Lakers this season! It's not that you're going to overtake O'Neill and Odom, and you won't be able to. It's about your future worth rising, you say? ”

$50,000 for a week's lessons, an hour and a half a day...... At present, there are no other players on the Lakers team who want to listen to Zhou Yang's class. Some of them are in good shape, and some of them are on the fringes of the Lakers, but they still feel a little embarrassed to spend money to attend this sophomore's class.

After 4 preseason games, Zhou Yang averaged only 6 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game...... Some media have already thought that the data obtained by Zhou Yang in the first year of coming to the NBA may be just a flash in the pan. In such a competitive Lakers, it should soon be buried.

It is also said that it is better if you are in the center position, but you need to have a taller and stronger body and a decent reaction speed. For example, Yao Ming now. Asian players like the No. 3 and No. 4 positions may not be able to play much.

Since returning to the team, Mime has been in high spirits, and on the basis of some of the original training, he began to practice the classwork assigned to him by Zhou Yang......

Sometimes the Zen master came over and saw Mime practicing there sweating, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't do anything he didn't want to give his players more time to train before.

However, it was found that the players were not highly motivated to train. Fortunately, the team also has a certain training plan, and it is enough to finish the training. In the future, Phil will not ask the players to practice unless they encounter more critical or special circumstances.

Although I don't know what Zhou Yang said when he gave Mime a lesson, at least this guy has increased his training time on top of the previous training volume, which can't be said to be a bad thing~

......

The final game of the preseason is a trip to San Antonio against the Spurs. This game is still quite attractive to the fans. In the last game against the Mavericks, the Mavericks won 98-80 against the Lakers. The Lakers can be said to be very relaxed.

The Zen master saw the energy of his team in the third quarter of the game and laughed directly. Then I went to talk to the teaching assistants.

In the preseason, Jackson also saw the Lakers' ability to trust the players, and basically showed a good blue-collar level. And Evans, who came from the Pistons, has the performance of being a substitute for Kobe or Smush at any time!

And if one of these two is injured, Evans can also step up immediately.

Odom still tweets every day in the hospital...... And the Lakers are about to play their last preseason game. They face the Spurs this time. The media seems to be saying that Spurs must win the championship this year!

The hearts of the fans who came to Staples Arena today were divided into the main ones. The Spurs want them to win, and the Lakers want them to win and whether the Lakers will have a hard time beating the Spurs in terms of style of play.

It's quite lively on the Lakers' side. Everyone's attention is on Mime...... Even the coach of the Lakers was a little curious, and in this week's time, Meme heard that he had paid another 50,000 yuan.

And Zhou Yang seems to have really warmed up in the preseason. I'm going to give Mime a lesson when I get back......

Several of the Lakers' more marginalized players wanted to see Meme's jokes. They felt that this big man should have been tricked by Zhou Yang. The sophomore was joking about his memes.

Among these players, they feel that they have spent a total of $60,000 on two weeks of classes, which is not a small amount! As for Zhou Yang and Mimu, one with an annual salary of more than 3 million and a two with an annual salary of nearly 4 million, 60,000 US dollars is really not too reassuring.

"In the first few games, our team basically warmed up. If you warm up in the preseason and don't get your mentality back, it's basically in vain. You see how serious the teams we play against are...... Seriously"

At this time, some players of the Lakers team suddenly couldn't hold back their laughter, the other party was so serious about the previous game and the Lakers, although the main team only played more time than the Lakers, but in the end, the opposing team did not win the Lakers by a big score!

“...... How about laughing at me for giving him 10 games in the regular season? After the Zen master finished speaking, the surrounding voices immediately fell silent. No one dared to show their emotions at this time so obviously.

"My request for this game is to get back in shape and we're going to play the regular season soon. If you go into the regular season like that, we're probably going to lose at least 20 games. Because of this state of affairs, it is probably not so easy for you to win......"

The Spurs have quite a few veterans now. Manu will be 30 after the New Year, and Duncan will be 30 now. Parker is a little younger, six years behind Duncan this year. The rest of the players are basically in their 30s!

If it were any other team, it would have been trading players long ago. But in Popovich's opinion, their team is just right now.

The players don't need to play a lot of time, but they just need to be not inefficient in attack. They will still make some teams scare in the middle of the game!

Popovich spoke a little more to the players before the game. Duncan and Bowen came to the ring laughing.

Today's Spurs starters are Duncan, Bowen, Matt, Parker, and Udri. The Lakers are Meme, Zhou Yang, Wharton, Kobe and Smush!

Jackson gave Mime the starting position at the beginning, and there was curiosity in it. Let's see how Mime's effect is after taking classes during this time.

First, Duncan gets the basketball and passes it to Parker. Matt hit a three-point shot directly after receiving the basketball in the frontcourt! Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball across the half court, and Wharton took over the basketball and began to organize the game!

Meme got Wharton's ground-hitting pass and then hit the stone Buddha with his back and was directly blocked! Before Meme could react, Duncan had already grabbed the basketball and immediately made a long pass to Parker!

Udri gets the ball and passes it directly to Bowen! Under Zhou Yang's defense, Bowen passed directly to Parker, who had already run over! The latter gets up and is a three-pointer!

It feels familiar to the Lakers. Kobe Bryant never asked for the ball, and he quietly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Basketball came to Zhou Yang. Facing Bowen's defense, Zhou Yang didn't jump shot directly!

Meme suddenly jumped up to get the rebound and passed to Wharton! This action startled Jackson. Maybe it was just a random reaction, but this time Mime's reaction speed does seem to be a lot faster!

Luke didn't have many chances and passed the ball out, and Duncan thought Meme would hit hard, but he misjudged it. When he retreated, he saw that Mime was actually doing the same action as him face to face!

Before the stone Buddha rushed out, Mime jumped up directly and smashed the basket with 2 points from a distance!! This long-range 2-point shot is much more comfortable than the three-point shot I practiced...... At least it's a lot closer!

"Not bad~" Kobe Bryant smiled and patted Mime and ran up. The Lakers' players didn't expect Mime to score so quickly! Shouldn't he be a close-range shot or a little hook or something?

Meme followed the next week when he ran back, but the other party was there staring at the Spurs players! Mime's speed was indeed slower, but it was like what Zhou Yang told him in the hospital at the time...... As long as you are conscious faster, your body's movements will follow up in advance!

There may be more mistakes, which may be a side effect after he reacts faster than he has done before. But as long as it is like just now, even if Zhou Yang hits that goal, Mime will not lose anything.

Speeding up your reaction in situations that may lead to a small error rate may lead to good results! In the past, Meme wouldn't have thought that way at all, but today he did it, and he became the first Lakers player to score in the game!

Then Duncan is going to the basketball and force a meme dunk to score! 8：2！ The rhythm of the Spurs is really not easy to guard against once they fight! After receiving Zhou Yang's pass in the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant jumped directly to Parker and shot a three-point shot into the net!

The Spurs now look at Kobe Bryant as an offensive maniac for the Lakers! They found that Kobe Bryant in the preseason was not inefficient on the court! In addition to the number of assists, he can also get an average of 20+ points per game!

Jackson compresses Bryant's average playing time to less than 18 minutes! In the previous game, Bryant scored more than 20 points in less than 18 minutes of play! So how many points does he score in a game in the regular season?

This season's West is a great one! The team basketball of the Spurs players on the court, and the Mavericks' combat power at this time makes everyone look and feel very high! The Lakers' luxury lineup is back up! The Suns also seem to be getting stronger than last season!

Compared to Phil, Popovich at this end doesn't look so easy. As he expected, both teams didn't start out as relaxed. He is equivalent to watching the characteristics of the two teams' playing styles and the Lakers' players who can play a role in the end this season.

What makes him not very happy is that the Lakers have added another great player this season! Zhou Yang has never played much, and he has different ideas from what the media says. It will be interesting to see how strong the Asian player is in the regular season.

On the Spurs' side, after Yudri didn't have a three-pointer, Smush got Mime's pass and rushed to the frontcourt! Kobe Bryant got the ball again and hit the three-point shot!! The fans at the scene immediately cheered up!

The opponent's quickly opened up the point difference advantage was tied by the Lakers! Parker was just about to run when he heard Ginobili on the sidelines and went straight to his teammates. Popovich asked for a timeout.

"I don't know why Jackson didn't let O'Neal start...... Defensively, if there is nothing we can do, our offense has to keep up with the pace of the Lakers. Go straight up and fight with the opponent to score, the opponent may not do better than us defensively, and our offensive efficiency should be about ...... if we can win this game."

Popovich then brought on Markota, this year's rookie at small forward. And the Lakers' Zhou Yang, Kobe Bryant and Smush are off the court. They were replaced by Brown, Famar and Vujasic.

Kwame Brown didn't use much last season, but this player is quite capable of playing. Vujacic is now a bit calmer after last season's baptism. But he still relied on Zhou Yang a little more in the game.

Now it is no longer possible to think that Zhou Yang will constantly feed his student Mime. Ginobili dribbled to the front court, faced Vujacic and scored a layup after passing the opponent directly and then past Famar and Wharton!

The breakthrough of the demon knife can sometimes make it difficult to find a rhythm...... At this time, as long as he wants to score, it is still very difficult to defend his players! Parker is organized and accurate, and Ginobili's offense is even sharper!

After Famar arrived in the front court, he was directly prevented by the opponent! Wharton came over and got the basketball and passed to Meme. The latter jumped up and dunked directly! In the first quarter, Mime had already scored 4 points!

"Zhou Yang, how much is your cram school a month now? I've heard about it recently, and I want to learn it too~" O'Neill smiled at this time and motioned for the player next to him to sit there. Then sat down next to Zhou Yang and asked.

"50,000 a week. I don't accept discounts," Zhou Yang saw Ao Fat's somewhat surprised expression after finishing speaking~

"Is your price a bit high~ Look at it, what if you let the rookies of our team still have low salaries~" The other players of the Lakers team also listened happily to the big shark joking with Zhou Yang there at this time.

However, Zhou Yang thought about it, for some players of the Lakers who received less than $1 million a year and had lower salaries at this time, $50,000 a week was indeed a little more expensive......

"If you want to hear it, if you don't have a high salary, you can listen to other versions, it will also increase, and the price will be relatively cheaper," Zhou Yang said seriously.

"Is that 50,000 a month or a week to ...... Around $2,000? ”

"10,000 a week, no discount"

"Haha, I'll take a look, or I'll report $10,000 for this class~" After O'Neal finished speaking, he saw Mime who was present directly hitting a 2-point shot on the line!

"Today's meme is super long played, what's going on?" Jackson leaned forward visibly after seeing the team score this time.

The Spurs didn't expect that another backup center of the Lakers who had just returned from injury actually scored 6 points before the game was over in the first quarter! And did this player pay for a good trainer or what?

Only then did the opponent notice that Mime's style of play had changed a little! The player is no longer too focused on strong shots and small hooks. Instead, he chose to pull away from the long shot!

Just take the ball a little further back and it's three points! Mime actually dared to shoot like this! And it's hollow into the net!

Although Mime was basically an ordinary blue-collar center in the past, all the statistics of the game were relatively average. But there are occasional times when it suddenly hits well. But in today's game, the Spurs players always felt that he was a little unusual......

Sometimes Mime, who only scored 6 points in a game, felt a little more confident after hitting a 2-pointer from the line! He accidentally saw his team's bench Yang and O'Neill chatting hotly there last week~ The Zen master didn't care, just hugged his shoulders and watched the game quietly.

In the previous games, the Spurs found that the Lakers basically didn't let the main players play too much in the game. Today, they used such a lineup to keep the score in line with them!

The old man of the Spurs walked back and forth on the sidelines. That's weird. Did Mime start training in the hospital? The Lakers now have Odom, Brown, and Zhou Yang on the front line. Is there another meme now?! What do they want to do?!

Thinking of this, Popovich felt a little headache. So I went back to the bench and sighed and continued to watch the game. At the end of the first quarter, Duncan couldn't go any further.

It would be interesting if the Lakers' bench lineup beat the Spurs' main team or kept the score tied...... What to say when the time comes? Oh, the main team of the Spurs just went up to warm up and didn't care if they won or lost? Will the media believe it?

......

In the second quarter of the game, the Spurs only let the demon knife play here, and replaced the other positions. Mime scored 8 points in the second quarter! After playing more than six minutes in the third quarter, he was substituted, and in this quarter he scored one point on a free throw.

When he walked back to his team, the Zen master came over and patted him on the back. And half of the Lakers players on the bench can't laugh anymore......

This big guy, who usually struggles to score 10 points in a regular season, has now scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist! Although it was the last game of the pre-season, they were still surprised by the stats they received.

What team are they up against? It's the San Antonio Spurs! In the first quarter of the game, with the "troika" present, Mime could still score relatively smoothly!

O'Neill was already on the game by this time. In the second quarter, Zhou Yang played for a while and was replaced again.

Now the Lakers' bench is suddenly quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and some teammates were comforting themselves at this time. It's preseason, and the Spurs certainly didn't take it very seriously.

Then he whispered the reason to Aron and Turiaf. After listening to it, the two also felt that it made sense. That's when they breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, the results of the preseason can't be taken too seriously~ I won't know until the regular season. And judging from the number of Lakers this season, there are a lot of players at the No. 4 position!

There are also several center positions that can be replaced with each other! In other words, the Lakers players want to get good statistics this season, unless their ability is good, and the coach arranges more playing time. Otherwise, it will not be easy to get the same stats as last season.

They looked at Zhou Yang, who was watching the game not far away. They have also read the recent media reports, and maybe it is really as the report says. The Lakers have a chance this season, too!

Before they came to the Lakers, from the game and the news, they felt that this team really raised players! Looking at the players such as Wharton, Vujacic and Zhou Yang, they look quite average, but now after a season, they are basically "gold-plated" successfully!

"Say what? No discounts" Zhou Yang felt at this time that Turiaf, who was separated from him by two players, seemed to be talking about his class. Seeing Zhou Yang turn around and say something, he immediately stopped moving.
