"It's a game where you have to be relaxed. Relax and pay attention to the nuggets, their movements and offensive intentions," the Zen master said to the players after drawing the pattern of the field on the board with a stick.

He takes this game very seriously because they have a lot of ruthless characters to face! Among them, Anthony's rapid rise made the Zen master very concerned, and he felt that the melon player would definitely become a big climate in the future!

The Denver Nuggets can't go toe-to-toe with them! This team has a very fast transition between offense and defense! And they're a bit of a gambler when they're defending. In this way, as long as they bet on the right game, it will go from a quick attack at the beginning to a direct drag into garbage time at the end of the team playing against them, which is possible!

'In today's game, the players on the front line have to attack less in the team. Try to help the team get a little more rhythm as much as possible. Rebounds, scoring, assists are all important. What about that, Cook? ”

Jackson said that Cook, a good small forward on the team, did not come to the team for training today.

"There are some things in his family, I heard that it seems to be a cold war with his wife~~" Mime said at this time. The players in the small room burst into laughter.

"I'm just curious, how do you know Cook and his wife are in a cold war?" After the Zen master finished speaking, everyone immediately turned into gossip and looked at Mime.

"Friend~ Cook told me, that's all. Hey, hey! You still laugh, if anyone thinks or talks nonsense, my fist doesn't have eyes! Do you hear that?! ”

"Okay, I see. Count Cook and take a day off, "Zen Master has some headaches, but the players nowadays sometimes do a good job of their talent or hard work! But when they were about to retire, looking back, they were all average in the game.

One of the reasons for this is that they have to put in the energy for things off the field. Some have paid a lot.

Naturally, if there are some things at home, this is understandable. But at this age, some players are playful, some players don't know what's wrong with him, and some are always injured, shoulder pain, leg soreness.

And like Cook, this is also more common, that is, either in love or for the sake of life in marriage and can't get out. Jackson's idea is that unless two people have a good relationship, they should be cautious about getting married.

At present, I don't know how Kobe Bryant has come over in the past few years, the strong X case, the team is not in harmony, and the two of them must have a bad time when they return home to face his wife.

This situation has also put the Lakers in previous seasons into a mess. Emotions in life are brought to the team by many players. The coach tells you how to play on the field, and if you don't have the ability to do it, wait for the team management to make the final decision.

Anthony at this point, Wharton, you don't have to fight hard with the opponent, he is very fast, and he is also very good at timing, you just need to do a good job of helping to defend, and pick players with low difficulty to defend. Odom pays more attention to this aspect.

"I think they're going to 'shoot' O'Neill in this game"

Before the game, Jackson would call the players together and then the assistant coaches, the players, and sometimes the trainers would be involved and everyone would discuss how to play the next game.

Everyone in this team is free to talk at this time, and sometimes some players even say things that are very bad, but the atmosphere in the team can still be maintained well.

The Zen master has always maintained a calm and humorous role as a head coach in front of the whiteboard. He's a bit more excited at times now, though, because finally the players are now back in the game, instead of arguing like in previous years, and in the end Jackson and the assistant coaches figure out how to play.

"Coach, I have a trick~" Shaq leaned back in his chair at this time and said leisurely.

"What? Tell me about it? ”

"It's okay if I don't play, right? I've been sitting on the sidelines, how are they 'cutting sharks' hahahahaha......" Ao Fat laughed after he finished speaking, and then the Zen master couldn't help but be happy there. When the big shark is suddenly funny, it looks like a big child~

"Shaq, I can let you not play for a season, and you can still get a high salary this season, what do you think?"

"Then I guess I'm going to have a spider web on my body~"

"So how to target the opponent's 'shark slashing tactic' O'Neal, don't shoot after receiving the ball, just pass the ball out. Be fast! ”

"Defensive center, isn't that what it means? ~”

He understood. Zhou Yang! ”

"Coach, I'm here~"

'Wharton has a very good on-court observation and he can see results from a distance. You have to pay attention to this in the game. I'll let you be his substitute in this game. Do you think it's okay? ”

"No problem"

"Is there anything wrong with the tactical arrangement just now? Keep it up, we're going to get into the 'exam room' right away. After finishing speaking, he picked up the cap of the pen on the table and shook the tip of the pen, and with a crisp sound, the Zen master glanced at everyone who was doing it and left the room directly.

That's the end, Jackson's train of thought was clear throughout the whole process, and in the previous few days of training they were also practicing what they said this afternoon.

Some of the players left the room and immediately went to the training gym for some light workouts, and they wanted to stay in the same state as they were about to play half an hour before they were about to play!

"Hey, Coach Jackson? Wait a minute, I still have a game tonight!! ”

"You know the game!! And what xx training for you! Cook, you're going to play tonight! You go and try it!! Is the game important or am I important?! You can just stay at Staples Arena! Let's go with your xx teammates!! ”

"You're not done?!! Oooh! Coach me...... I didn't talk to you just ......"

Back in his office, the Zen master continued to watch the footage of the Nuggets game in the first regular-season game. Almost 20 minutes later, Cook's call came. After a few noises inside, I heard something hit the ground.

"Hello? Cook? Are you okay? What makes your wife. Feed? Do you listen again? ”

"Coach me...... What the hell are you!! I may not be able to go, sorry for calling you at this time"

"It's okay Cook, I've already given you a day off today. You don't have to come here. Listen to me, young man, look at my age. It's normal to quarrel with your wife, it's not good for you to coax her and yell like this."

"It's over, I've got one less chance to play! Coach I should have ...... in the first place."

"It's okay! Don't say that, both of them are angry, don't talk in a hurry. O'Neal has been injured for a few dozen games, what can he say? Don't think about it, it's normal, Kobe, the big shark is my player, aren't you? ”

......

On the phone, he calmed Cook's emotions first. It is true that Cook was supposed to start tonight, and then Wharton was in the second team, and Zhou Yang was in the third team. But today's plan didn't catch up with the change, and stretched by the window. We're getting closer and closer to tonight's game.

Recalling the chat with Cook a few years ago, it seems that he has to divide his energy a little more now. Not everyone can be as strong as Kobe Bryant after something happens on the court.
