Chapter 579: Strength Speaks! (b)
"In the new season, I want to start, and I want to kill you and be the boss of the Kings!!"
When Westbrook said this, even the hot Green and Vitesse, who were single-handedly on the training ground next to them, stopped their movements, froze in place, looked back at Gu Yu and Wei Shao, and didn't dare to breathe.
Everyone present knew that no matter how high their expectations of themselves were, how arrogant they were, and how arrogant they were, and they wanted to compete for the position of the king boss in the new season, in terms of pure strength, Gu Yu and Wei Shao were still the top two in this team.
And the chemistry between these two people is, to a large extent, directly determined the future direction of the Kings.
"What ...... you say??" As soon as Wei Shao said this, Gu Yu's attitude also changed, his eyes instantly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you say you want to be......?" ”
Here it comes!
On the side, the players were excited and nervous, like people in the rivers and lakes in martial arts, finally about to see the world's strongest two heads-up, and they were happy to be able to witness such a grand occasion.
And Phil Jackson also had his own thoughts in his eyes.
In the new season, the absolute core of the Kings team must be Gu Yu, which does not need to be judged by a famous coach of Phil Jackson's level, and fans all over the world know it.
But can Gu Yu become a winning general of a dynasty-level team and an absolute king on the court, like Jordan and Kobe, who played the pinnacle performance of their careers under Phil before?
For this, Phil Jackson has doubts in his heart.
Unlike the previous honors won by the Bulls and Lakers, this time Phil Jackson took over the Kings, on the one hand, of course, because the Kings have the staffing and potential to execute his triangle offense, which can allow him to implement the triangle offense again and silence the damn critics who look down on Phil Jackson.
On the other hand, KFC Grandpa also wants to challenge himself to see if he can once again turn a playoff-level powerhouse into a champion.
In the Bulls, Jordan is undoubtedly a super ace, on the one hand, of course, because Jordan is strong enough and strong enough to be beaten. But on the other hand, although Pippen is a bull, he has no bullfork at all to the point where he can threaten Jordan's existence.
In the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is very good in the first three consecutive championships, but it is the same, it is impossible to threaten the status of that fat man. The champion in the back, no matter how important the three highs are, they can't compare to Kobe's existence.
And whether Jordan is fat or Kobe, there is a kind of courage and deterrence that can make the whole team completely obey them at their peak and dare not have half a rebuttal.
The combination of these factors is the most important factor in building a dynasty team.
And now, Gu Yu's personal ability may have touched the edge of an emperor-level player, but can he do a unified obedience to him within the team, even if he has Phil Jackson's favorite atmosphere of "internal competition", he will not conflict with him in the general direction of the team?
Phil Jackson has no bottom in his heart.
Prior to this, the conflict between Gu Yu and Cousins and Evans seemed to prove from the side that Gu Yu was not a ruthless character who could convince everyone. Maybe there are also factors such as Gu Yu's later start than those two players and the short time to become the core, but Gu Yu is not an emperor who can decide everything with one sentence, there is no doubt about it.
Now, facing Westbrook, a more piercing and impactful competitor than Cousins and Evans, can Gu Yu maintain his position as the number one on the team? In the new season, can Gu Yu continue to be the king of kings of the Kings?
Phil Jackson, look forward to it.
"This ...... You can't be tough! Beside Phil Jackson, Paul George was also a little nervous and muttered to himself.
Judging from the strength and status of the team, George is likely to be the No. 3 role of the Kings in the new season. Whether the two big brothers on the head deal with each other or not, whether they can run in well - even if it is a "competitive run-in" like Phil Jackson likes - will largely determine whether Paul George is comfortable or not.
"I really can't be tough~~~" Stevenson also nodded, dealing with these star players, he has some confrontation experience on the court: "Russell is the kind of rigid character that the stronger you are, the stronger he is, and he will never be soft, just like a spring with little elasticity~~~ To convince him, you still have to use a softer method~~~"
That's right.
Hearing Stevenson's words, Phil Jackson tilted his head slightly, but he had a new understanding of this young man who was a little nervous.
This is also what Phil Jackson thinks in his heart, the best way to deal with Wei Shao, to put it bluntly - both grace and power.
Some people only eat soft food, such as Vitesse and Green who are present, you are fierce and vicious to him, he will not hang you at all, and he will not take you in his eyes at all.
On the contrary, you have to encourage him, recognize him, make him a ball, and let him experience the joy of playing with you. When he finds out that he cooperates well with you, listens to you, can win, and can get data, they will obey, and they will do whatever you say.
At this point, Gu Yu's performance is quite good, and it is difficult to say whether Vitesse and Green will deal with each other or not, but they obviously have no opinion on Gu Yu.
Some people only eat hard, you have to mobilize his enthusiasm, urge his desire to win, and then use hard power to convince him, and he will be obedient to you.
This type of Bynum who was present, Gu Yu's performance was also quite good, and being able to fool Bynum and sign such a cost-effective contract with the Kings is the best proof of this.
There are also players who have to follow his temperament, not a matter of soft or hard, but to get used to his pace. This kind of character player, it is very difficult to "subdue", and ordinary people can't do it. It's just that there are a lot of players like this, and that's why the Kings are called the Problem Children's Army.
For example, Paul George, you have to take him slowly, let him gradually accept stronger and stronger challenges, and let him follow you to improve quickly.
Another example is Stevenson, he is chattering, you have to accompany him a little bit, indulge some of his small behaviors, and help him control the rhythm at some key points to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
For example, Beasley, who was lazy like a dead dog next to him, made him feel the feeling of being crushed - Gu Yu's method of subduing Bynum - although it was important, it couldn't be too much, otherwise he would completely lose interest in basketball and didn't know what to do. It is quite difficult to grasp this degree.
With all the above details, Gu Yu, as the absolute leader of a team that has just been reorganized, has done a very good job. Every detail, every word, attitude towards everyone, and the way the different players communicated...... In all aspects, Gu Yu did an impeccable job, and most of the team was pinched together in an instant.
When Gu Yu suddenly announced the starting list for the opening game just now, the various reactions of the players and Gu Yu's various responses, Phil Jackson saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and his recognition of Gu Yu as the leader of his new dynasty was getting higher and higher.
But right now, here's the biggest problem.
Wei Shao.
"I believe I've made it clear, I don't hear anything clearly, and I suggest you see an otologist." Wei Shao, of course, was "indomitable", and stared at Gu Yu with his head held high: "Since I entered this team, your arrogant and domineering days have been completely over!" ”
Calm down, Gu Yu!
Phil Jackson's palms also sweated, Wei Shao, I'm afraid he is the most difficult character to deal with in this group of problem children. It's not good to be pure and hard, it's hard and easy to break, and in the end it's a loss for both sides to hit the head. Pure and soft is even worse, Wei Shao's character, if you are a little softer, he will ride directly on your head as a prestige.
To put it more bluntly, Wei Shao and Gu Yu are completely the same type of players, the same arrogance, the same hardness and softness, and the same basically impossible to be subdued.
If Gu Yu can find the best way, he can subdue Wei Shao with both grace and power, and he doesn't have to be called brother and brother, he can have a certain degree of competitiveness, but at least he will not fight separately after playing, and he can play the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
Then Gu Yu, on Phil Jackson's side, is an absolutely qualified leader.
The most difficult point is that Gu Yu must hold back his temper, and he must not be pure hard with Wei Shao, otherwise......
"So it's a heads-up?" Before Phil Jackson could figure it out, the corners of Gu Yu's mouth had already risen slightly, revealing his trademark cruel smile and said, "If you don't beat your ass, you don't know how weak you are?" ”
…… Grandma's a bear!
Phil Jackson and George collapsed at the same time, and they were still thinking about "cousins to Wei Shao's grace"?? I just thought too much about it at the beginning!
"It's over~~~" Stevenson also realized that something was wrong, shook his head and shrugged his shoulders and said: "These two people are impossible to be convinced, hard-hitting?" The king of the new season is finished~~~~! ”
It's really over......!
Phil Jackson was so disappointed in Gu Yu in an instant.
I can't understand such a simple question, and I still follow my temper and Wei Shao to be tough, you really think you are Jordan, you rely on your strength to speak in the team, and anyone in the world can be abused by you? !
"Don't talk nonsense, just do it! ! Over there, Wei Shao couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned around and went to the battlefield directly, snatched the basketball from Vites, who was still stunned and watching the excitement, and stood outside the three-point line waiting for Gu Yu.
"Hahaha, that's funny." Gu Yu walked up without hesitation, stood in front of Wei Shao and said with his nostrils facing the sky: "Do you know that you just made a decision that will make you regret it for the rest of your life......?" ”
Alas, still young and vigorous!
Phil Jackson sighed and shook his head, already thinking about the new team status distribution plan.
But just five minutes later, it wasn't just Wei Shao.
Even Phil Jackson was completely convinced by Gu Yu.
