Chapter 209: Battle of Hustville! (1/3)
In fact, when they see the Lakers constantly scoring, they already know what the outcome of this game will be. Mime hit another surprise three-pointer...... He thought it was a bit incredible, but it did go in.
Meme felt like he was a little overdone tonight! As he continued to put defensive pressure on the Heat from the outside, the Zen master immediately decided to let Mime play for a while. At the end of the match, he also thought that this decision was the end of today's match!
Fisher, Wharton, they don't feel good. But Mim threw away......
"You guys seem to be stronger than last season~" Riley walked over to the Zen master, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled when they met.
"If you have a good center on your team, it's hard for us to win," Phil said humbly.
"If there is a good centre-forward...... We're the ones who win tonight! We'll see you on the field," Riley said after hearing the Zen master's words, looked at the big shark sitting on the bench and saw the end of the game, and left the court.
116:109! Both teams put on a very good show in this game! Mime's three-pointer dashed the Heat's hopes of chasing points.
The Zen master looked at the elated appearance of the players, and he was very calm. It felt like they deserved to win this game.
In this game, Mo Ning got 12 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks! Antoine had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Posey had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Payton had 23 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists! Wade 28 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals!
If the team doesn't have two gods who will continue to support the game, I'm afraid that the Heat will soon enter garbage time. This game calmed Wade, who was about to burst with confidence before the game......
O'Neal 9 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks! Meme 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists! Zhou Yang 12 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists! Kobe Bryant 42 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists! Evans 17 points, 2 assists and 1 steal!
The focus of this game is mainly on Kobe, Payton and Zhou Yang. The contributions of the three of them are relatively distinct, and Payton effectively slowed down the Lakers' offense in the game!
Needless to say, Kobe Bryant scored the highest score in the game. Zhou Yang effectively activated the Lakers! Jackson even had a feeling that this game was actually a contest between Zhou Yang and Payton!
In this game, Payton basically put his energy into organizing the team and defending. He still has to score after the team's offensive efficiency drops...... As for Zhou Yang, he feels quite relaxed in the Lakers now.
There are good teammates in every position. The Lakers are also in a good mood at this time!
"This kid has really changed a lot," Odom said, looking at the post-game player stats on his computer, as he played with Twitter's phone, which fell directly from his lap onto the bed.
Meme's 19 points in one game is a dream! Odom didn't think it was real. He shot two threes in one game!!
There wasn't much coverage of memes in the media. It's a big deal of surprise that Kobe Bryant got 40+ data so easily!! There is also an analysis of O'Neal's current state with the Lakers and Zhou Yang's 10 assists!
Naturally, the winning team reported more. When the players on the team celebrated with each other, many of them looked at Mime with the expression of "overperforming, brother".
Although they won the game. But it wasn't an easy game. The players were very tired after the game, but they still couldn't stop the entertainment plan for the evening~
......
"I'm not saying that you're going to shoot from the outside all the time. Do you feel like you've improved in terms of responsiveness right now? Zhou Yang said to Mime in the stadium at this time.
"Yes, but not obviously"
"If the long-range shot is restricted, you still have to look for opportunities on the inside. If you don't feel good in a game, a strong iron is still there, and it is estimated that the coach will not let you play in the later games. You can shake off your opponent, and if he thinks you've been shooting from a distance, he'll just rush over for a layup or dunk in the process! ”
"Seems to make some sense......"
"And then that...... I'm going to have two weeks of classes this month. What's the other problem, wait for next month, okay? After Zhou Yang gave a lesson to his teammates, he felt that he was actually quite physically and energetic after a class......
I think that a month or two weeks is enough for such a day of lectures...... You still have to do what you can to train people.
The players watched while they were not far away from the class...... Of course, what is being said on the other end is something they can't hear. Zhou Yang and Mime did a test, and they couldn't hear what he was saying at a distance.
The purpose of this is not to let Mime's $50,000 a week go to waste...... Would you accept a class that costs $50,000 and someone else takes a small bench to listen to for free?
In the second game against the Trail Blazers, Meme got 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and in the third game against the Kings, he got 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists! Apparently teammates feel like Meme has changed......
In response to the slight decline in Mime's score and the flexibility of other playing styles, the two of them were there to show him while talking to Zhou Yang until the end of an hour and a half...... Mime felt that he had benefited a lot, and from time to time he even took a notebook there and listened to it while holding a grudge and taking it seriously.
Although the Lakers players watched from a short distance and occasionally made jokes about Meme. But there are already a few people in this group who want to learn...... However, they were forced by the pressure of their teammates and did not mention this matter to Zhou Yang......
"Zhou Yang is in class there again~" Vincent was holding a tray with 4 cups of coffee on it, and the assistant coach who saw him coming over immediately got up and took a cup on the tray and sat down again to continue watching the game. The house was just quiet. The coaches are all busy with their own work.
"This kid is quite busy~ In his second year with the Lakers, he became a teacher~" After one of the assistant coaches got the coffee, the coaches in the room laughed. This kid does give a very interesting impression.
Some coaches even suggested that they should start studying their team's Zhou Yang's style of play. One is that the coaches want to make them feel that they can understand Zhou Yang better through research, and the other is that they can be more comfortable in future tactical deduction after understanding him better.
"I think Mime has played well in these three games. But his numbers are also declining. Shall we go out for a meal first and then come back and study it? I don't think it's too early."
The Zen master looked up at the teaching assistants around him and said.
"No, isn't it almost? I think we'll be talking about it soon. I'll have an idea when I'm eating out my wife," the assistant who looked to be in his 40s, and the atmosphere in the room, which had just been very quiet, had begun to ease.
"That's good~ The strength of the Rockets this season is very different from last season! The Grizzlies' right-hand man Battier is already playing for Houston. I see that in the previous games, Yao Ming's under-the-basket shock and the outside of the rocket's firepower offense have become stronger......"
Flights were cancelled on both days, so wait until tomorrow morning to catch a flight to Houston. Mime has a busy day right now...... In addition to the team's training, he also has to find time to do the homework assigned to him by Zhou Yang in the evening......
Watch the Grizzlies play at night, and keep an eye on Gasol's performance on the court inside. See how he copes in various situations. Write a summary of what you noticed.
The next player is Duncan of the Spurs...... Zhou Yang found more than 10 players for Mime to imitate. But don't feel like giving so much at once. Let him come one by one. When that's done, I'm going to review what he said to Mime that day.
There is a lot of pressure on Meme, and there is a reason why his teammates joke about him, and there is also a reason why Mime is not young now.
He's also made some money in the NBA over the years. Roughly calculated in the past few years, it has been about 15 million US dollars. Play for another two years, and after making more than $20 million in the NBA, you can go out and do something else or play in a club.
But Mime felt that he could fight for it again. This was not the goal he had planned for himself before. He also wants to play better and better like Odom! But he also knows that there are no small limitations in the game.
Now in the Lakers his own fame is not high. It is a substitute center, and it can also play a big forward. The team would not hire a professional assistant coach to strengthen a player like this.
And at this time, Zhou Yang appeared...... Sometimes Mime even wanted to thank him for the injury, but if it wasn't for the injury, the two of them would have been put in the same room...... There will be no such relationship as the later class.
He firmly believes that it is not for nothing that players like Kobe, Anthony, James, Zhou Yang, and Paul began to be noticed by agents, fans, and coaches as soon as they entered the league!
Either they are physically good or they think and handle the ball differently than other players! Of course, Meme thinks there will be a lot of things in it that he didn't expect.
When Zhou Yang told him that if he listened to his classes, maybe his salary would double in the future, Mime was really moved. If he really can, maybe he can make an extra $10 million before he retires!
......
This fourth game between the Lakers and the Rockets is particularly interesting! The two teams have similarities in their configurations. And the Lakers' offense and the Rockets' current defensive style of play have also been described by the media as a battle of spear and shield!
Is the spear sharper or the shield stronger?! Coach Van Gundy has taken the Rockets' defense to more than one level this season! And they're back with Sean Battier of the Memphis Grizzlies!
"The other party is now looking for Maddie on the outside, and Yao Ming on the inside! The Rockets players also have a decent fit. But these two guys, you have to pay more attention defensively......" Yao Ming gives the impression that he is a cut above all the players on the field. And I think this big man is getting better and better!
After Famar was fired directly by the Heat, the Lakers immediately took him out of the team...... The Lakers feel that if it weren't for trading this year's draft picks with the Heat, Farmar would have come to the Lakers directly. But now that he's in Los Angeles, the Lakers feel like they've earned ~
Famar who came to the Lakers is still a little uncomfortable. There are so many great players in this team right now! Thinking of this, he looked up and saw Mime, who was looking at the coach with an excited face.
