Chapter 12 Facing the Lakers (4), Kobe provokes Jordan

Hu Qingniu knows very well that Phil Jackson, who looks like a KFC grandfather, is a coach who has very few on-the-spot adjustments, and can also be said to be very poor. Phil Jackson's specialty is to integrate team relationships and bring the role players together to bring out the best in the superstar. But once it's time for the game, Jackson rarely calls a timeout to change tactics based on the situation on the court, and the superstar is called to decide the game for himself. For this, it has also been criticized by critics and fans.

Although Hu Qingniu was sure of the characteristics of KFC's grandfather, he still saved the necessary backhand for the second half, in order to succeed by surprise and give the Lakers no time to adjust.

Hu Qingniu's second move is the figure-8 running tactic, which once gave Old Man Doug a headache.

Thinking of Phil Jackson's helpless appearance in the face of this tactic, Old Man Doug was secretly happy in his heart.

However, thinking that Hu Qingniu played well in this game, the management may choose him as their successor, and it is also a little helpless.

Old Doug has been a coach for decades, and he is a former NBA player, but he didn't expect that he would end up being no match for a fledgling young man. But Old Man Doug was not jealous, and he recognized Hu Qingniu's determination and efforts. He knows how hard it is to eat in the NBA.

Hu Qingniu began to explain the tactics of the second half, and all the players gathered around.

The first half was exactly as Hu Qingniu expected, and after the Wizards played the established tactics, their strength increased significantly, and they went back and forth with the defending champions.

The players have gradually trusted Hu Qingniu's various puzzling controls and tactics, including Starkerhouse, a starter who originally had some opinions about Hu Qingniu, has also changed his opinion, Hu Qingniu is indeed a strong coach.

"Guys, in the second half, we played a figure-eight game. We needed to change the formation, and the focus of the figure eight was on covering, so Kwame started in the second half. β€œ

"Kwame, are you ready?" Hu Qingniu looked at Kwame Brown with burning eyes, never forgetting to motivate this introverted black and hard.

"Yes, sir," Kwame Brown's gaze was still evasive.

Hu Qingniu nodded disappreciatively, picked up the tactical board and continued.

"Michael plays the ball at the top of the arc, Tyronn Lue and Stackhouse run, and Jeffries and Kwame stand in the horn area on either side to cover the wall for their teammates."

Hu Qingniu's gaze swept over Stark House.

"Stackhouse has the strongest shooting ability and is the main endpoint of this tactic, and if there is an open spot at the same time, pass to him first."

"Unless O'Neill is off the field, you can't cut inside as a player with two walls."

"In the end, we have to leave room for that. If I stretch out three fingers, then we have to change in time, a variant of the figure 8 tactic, the elevator door tactic. ”

"Got it."

Everyone nodded in unison, their training tasks in the past two days were these two tactics, and they had generally eaten them thoroughly.

As the second half approaches, the Staples fans begin to clamoring for the game.

The Wizards are on the court.

Kobe Bryant walked towards the Wizards with a look of anger on his face, and everyone knew he had only one goal.

"Michael, you really didn't play like a man in the first half. This match is a showdown between me and you, and I hope you don't shy away from it. One-on-one, I can beat you head-on!"

As soon as Jordan's face darkened, he was about to have a seizure. A junior, dare to be so arrogant, come to me to provoke.

Hu Qingniu hurriedly grabbed the old rascal who was about to transform.

"Kobe, basketball is not a one-on-one game. Put away your childishness and please respect the game we are playing as well. Michael is the leader of this team and he leads the team forward. And you're just a little hairy, and you'll only fight bravely. You don't need to compete with each other! ”

Kobe Bryant, as the league's main young star, had a smooth journey, and even the respected "Zen master" Phil Jackson didn't say so about him.

Bryant was enraged.

β€œWhatοΌŸβ€œ

Kobe Bryant stretched out his index finger and pointed at Hu Qingniu, and said word by word.

”Who”

”are”

β€œ youοΌŸοΌβ€œ

"A staff member in a suit?? What qualifications do you have to speak to me like that, I played in the NBA at the age of 17 and won honors that you can't imagine. ”

When the Wizards heard this, they all blushed and were all angry, Hu Qingniu's ability and sense of responsibility were seen by all the Wizards players, and they all respected the 24-year-old assistant coach and chief team doctor.

Jordan's mood was disturbed by this, but it tended to calm down.

"Hey, rookie, you're so rude. This is our esteemed assistant coach Mr. Hu. Although he was on his first day in office today, he was definitely able to lead us to victory and walk out of Staples Arena with our heads held high. β€œ

"Goodbye, rookie," Jordan and Hu Qingniu turned their heads to ignore the grim-faced Peter Pan and went to the bench.

"Goodbye, rookie."

"Goodbye, rookie."

......

Many of the Wizards players who followed behind also threw off this sentence one by one and walked to their bench.

The Wizards have unconsciously become very united, which is completely different from before.

Before the second half of the game began, the smoke was already in the air.

All the fans and media didn't expect that what was supposed to be a game with a huge disparity in strength turned into a battle for the dragon.

TNT live commentary seat.

Hosts Ross Barkley and Smith, including the customary invited representatives of the two teams, special guest "Magic" Johnson.

Smith: "The first half was evenly matched, and now we're going to argue who can take the initiative in the second half and win the final victory. Starting with me, I think it was the Lakers, although the Wizards played well in the first half with a targeted Odd Shot. But the Lakers kept the situation suppressed, and I think in the second half, it was difficult for the Wizards to keep up with such a high-intensity, high-level confrontation. ”

Barkley: "I also chose the pride of Los Angeles, the Lakers, who, according to my sources, the Wizards have hired a new young Chinese-American assistant coach, and this tactic has something to do with him. But young people are young people, just like the Chinese Yao, we are always pleasantly surprised when we see it for the first time, and once it comes to the real game, they are almost interesting. Similar to Kenny's view. Background is the key that the Lakers lack the most, and it just so happens that the Wizards lack the most. In a stalemate battle, this is everything. A player who has the ability to play a stalemate battle, the Wizards have nothing to say, only the great Jordan, but the suffix is 40 years old. In addition to Shaq and Kobe, the Lakers also have Rick Fox, Flying Fish Fisher, and Mr. Key Robert Horry, all of whom are players with considerable strength. β€œ

Kenny Smith: "What about you, John. By the rules, it's time for you to pick the Wizards, and say why. β€œ

Elvin Johnson: "SHIT rules, that's your trap. I had to pick the Lakers. With the Sharks on fire and Kobe Bryant baring his fangs, the Lakers are unstoppable and will have an epic quadruple winning streak this year. Wait, the third quarter is when the winner will be revealed. β€œ

These three represent almost all the voices of fans and media, and they all feel that although the Wizards have played beyond imagination, they have had back and forth with the defending champions, and the scene is not inferior, but there is still a significant gap in hard power.
