Chapter 21: The Perfect Debut
With the meticulous cooperation of his teammates, Zhao Dashao played 14 minutes in the first half, scoring 12 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, with only 2 turnovers, which is a very good performance.
Bernie was pleased with Zhao's performance in the first half, including the Zen master in front of the TV.
Such a performance is enough to replace Famar as the Lakers' second point guard.
But he has a higher pursuit, and he wants to grab the MVP of this summer league from the heads of Rose, Westbrook, Beasley, Mayo and others!
Zhao Dashao was able to start in the second half with his excellent performance in the first half.
Brother Sun sat a little lonely sitting off the court, thinking that he would become the fourth or fifth guard of the Lakers, but now it seems that there is no place for him here, and the fifth guard can't even touch the water cooler!
As long as Zhao Dashao is a few centimeters longer, he can not only be used as a substitute for the old fish at that time, but also become a substitute for Kobe, and he will become the sixth man on the outside of the Lakers.
In the first half, Bernie asked Brother Sun to go up and play for five minutes.
Famar's performances last season were enough to be an important substitute, and this summer league is mainly about scouting new talents.
But Brother Sun's performance after playing was not satisfactory, his body looked much stronger than Zhao Dashao, how to say that he also weighed 210 pounds, but the effect of defending Hill and Mason was much worse.
This is not surprising, "defense" is never just about the body, height, reach, awareness, skill, anticipation, experience are all important.
In addition to his excellent height and flexible steps, Brother Sun has no strengths.
Zhao Dashao usually feels very relaxed when he is surprised, and Brother Sun's cooperation with his teammates is not tacit enough, it is difficult to complete the coordinated defense with his teammates like Zhao Dashao, and these people will not go up at any time to block the eye-catching like guards with knives.
George Hill faced Brother Sun, and instantly felt that the difficulty of his game had dropped by one gear, and he immediately became more comfortable, which is a change that everyone can feel with the naked eye.
Zhao Dashao continued to show his skills after returning to the court, and he showed his commanding style in the first attack of the second half.
It was a simple inside low screen, with the outside shooter executing a three-point play.
Bernie said that he had never taught Zhao Dashao this tactic, and he didn't have time to teach it.
But Zhao Dashao's dollars were not spent in vain, and last season he secretly learned a lot of the basic tactics of the Lakers through the help of data companies and tactical analysts, but he didn't know the tactical gestures within the Lakers team.
It's not a big deal, just ask Famar beforehand, this guy is the Lakers' second point guard after all.
Zhao Dashao held the ball at the top of the arc, and first attracted the attention of the defender with a bells and whistles.
In the second half, the Spurs players paid special attention to his defense, and the defensive formation in the low post and on the wing was easily pulled.
Zhao Dashao suddenly made a tactical gesture and commanded his teammates to run.
Ariza, Vujasic, Mbenga and others were all substitutes last season, and of course they knew how to run this tactic, so they subconsciously started to run tactics.
So what surprised Zen Master and Bernie happened, the Lakers bench lineup, which has always been criticized, actually ran out of tactics under the command of an 18-year-old rookie?
Few teams in summer league played the default tactics of the regular season, and the Spurs players were flawed in their defensive formation with a simple tug.
Zhao Dashao saw the timing of the tactics, and it was easy for Mbenga to improve the success rate of low covers, and the probability of Vujacic running out of open positions also increased, and finally his passing accuracy allowed Vujacic to hit the ball better.
Whether the final shot hits or not, it doesn't really matter!
He Zhao Dashao actually taught himself the default tactics of the Lakers, which is a demonic situation.
In the second half, Zhao Dashao's several offenses were the default tactics that the Lakers often used last season, of course, they were all not too complicated tactics, otherwise these would not have been able to play.
But even so, Bernie at the game and the Zen master in front of the TV, both of them couldn't believe all this in front of them?
In addition to wondering how Zhao Dashao could use these tactics, another thought that arose in their hearts was: Is this still the Lakers who fight indiscriminately every time they are in rotation?
Of course, Zhao Dashao will not play team cooperation throughout the game.
These things are for the Zen master in front of the TV, the purpose is to make the head coach impressed with his command ability and improve his status in the team, which is essentially similar to the top students learning their homework in advance.
But in fact, he Zhao Dashao also has a heart of 1 to 5!
He knows very well that no matter how mature and intelligent he is, he is still an 18-year-old player, and the key word here is "young".
Young people don't pretend to be forced and don't seize the opportunity to be in the limelight, are they still young people?
So as long as he has the opportunity, he will still use gorgeous ball control to kill the pile, and if he can't send a second pass/dry pull, he will send a mistake.
Soon, the Spurs' constipation offense missed, Zhao Dashao received the rebound from his teammates, rushed to the front court with both feet on Hot Wheels, and threw the three-point shot into the basket after his buttocks, which finally aroused the applause of many neutral fans!
Two minutes later, Zhao Dashao was once again unable to suppress his commotion, and even though the Spurs players were all in position, he still used Mime's block to rush inside.
George Hill was not blocked this time, but Zhao Dashao had enough offensive space through the blocking, and the starting hand was a set of bells and whistles under the crotch dribble.
George Hill is like a great enemy, and he no longer dares to treat Zhao Dashao as an 18-year-old child.
Zhao Dashao didn't use shooting to solve the problem this time, and after continuous crotch dribbling, he went directly to the basket......
"Hurry up and stop him!"
I don't know who shouted it, but it was all broken!
In short, Hill chased after him, and Bonner chased in front of him.
Zhao Dashao used a Kobe-style big pull rod in the air, forcibly relying on the ability to stay in the air to create offensive space, and under the defense of two Spurs players, he found an angle from the air that could not be blocked to hit the ball on the board.
Hill and Bonner could only hate that their hands were a few inches shorter, and the basketball fell mischievously into the net right before their eyes.
The Lakers' bench exploded at this moment!
The coaches didn't expect that Zhao Dashao not only had a high ball quotient, a good breakthrough, accurate shooting, but also such a limited ability to stay in the air, which was really a bit demonic!
The players deliberately stared at the boss and made a shocked expression as if they had seen God, mainly to steal the spotlight and shoot the horse.
But without exception, everyone was taken aback by Zhao Dashao's super ability to stay in the air, as well as the big pull rod at the end!
Zhao Dashao also discovered the benefits of being a little messy, and his system background had more than a dozen glory coins in a few minutes, which was equivalent to making millions of fans comfortable several times.
This made him have an idea, and simply learned the celebration of Lao Ke, beating his chest and angrily pulling the purple jersey on his body, a young little white face suddenly became fierce, I don't know who he yelled at a few times, and almost yelled at a few female fans on the sidelines.
Then, he saw a scene rise in his backstage—
Chinese fans think you're stupid -1...... Chinese fans think you're funny+1...... Kobe fans think you're promising+1...... James Fans Think You're a - 1...... Maddie fans think you're a younger brother -1...... Yao Ming fans think you're a slut -1...... Kohei thinks you can lead a strong foul to win the championship +1...... Kobe fans think you don't deserve to imitate -1......
Zhao Dashao was directly stunned before he was happy, this is just a tribute action, can a group of people use such a big reaction?
But he pinched his fingers and counted, this wave seems to have lost a lot of honor coins?!
Zhao Dashao was angry in an instant, now he is really fierce, but others still seem to have a little milk, who made his body only 18 years old, except for Ayton and Auden at this age, who else is not milk?
