At the beginning of the new season, the Lakers still have a lot of work to do.

First of all, the team had to complete several necessary trades within a month, and Jerry West was a bit of a disdain for Nick Van Exel, who had serious personality problems and liked to shoot on the court, which was obviously not in line with the Lakers' team-building ideas.

So, as soon as the shutdown ended, Mitch Kupchak and Jerry West got busy, looking around for a trade opportunity to send Van Exel away.

Secondly, the Lakers currently have only 9 players in the roster, including Nick Van Exel, who has been put on the shelf, as well as rookies Ruben Patterson and Sam Jacobson, the Lakers also only have 12 players, obviously, the Lakers need further reinforcements to make up the 15-man squad.

Similarly, the recruitment needs to be completed as soon as possible in order to start the run-in training for the new season.

Mitch Kupchak started his busyness, and he didn't care about Qiao Hai, Qiao Hai was not bad, Kobe Bryant arrived the next day, Qiao Hai threw over a training plan, and asked Kobe to start preseason training according to this training plan.

In addition to Kobe, Qiao Hai was also responsible for the training of rookies Ruben Patterson and Sam Jacobson, and Qiao Hai also gave each of the two rookies a training plan as soon as they arrived on the team.

Ruben Patterson is the second-round pick this year, while Sam Jacobson is the 26th pick in the first round this year.

Don't look at Sam Jacobson's high rank, in terms of potential or Ruben Patterson, Ruben Patterson failed to play anything famous in the Lakers, but Qiao Hai clearly knows that after leaving the Lakers in the future, Ruben Patterson played the main starter in the SuperSonics and the Trail Blazers, and his strength is very good.

However, Sam Jacobson has no development in the future, and after two years of fighting with the Lakers, he can only go to Europe to fight in the end.

However, Qiao Hai treated everyone equally, and gave a training plan that was very specific to the two of them's own shortcomings.

For Ruben Patterson, Qiao Hai believes that Ruben Patterson needs to strengthen his long-range shooting ability, Ruben Patterson's defense and breakthrough are not bad, he is a good wing player, and the difference is three-point shooting.

As for Sam Jacobson, Qiao Hai feels that he is a little worse, considering Sam Jacobson's position, he plays a two-way guard, so Qiao Hai's training plan for Sam Jacobson is to let Sam Jacobson strengthen his ball control and shooting after dribbling, so that Sam Jacobson, who is only 1.93 meters tall, is more like a point guard.

After the training plan was given, Qiao Hai stood on the sidelines and supervised the training for a while.

Kobe Bryant's training is very hard, shooting three points in a row from the outside, not relaxing at all, Qiao Hai looked at it for a while, and felt that there was no need to pay attention to Kobe, Kobe Bryant's hard training is naturally not necessary to say more, Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning has become a stalk, which already shows how hard Kobe Bryant trains hard.

And Ruben Patterson and Sam Jacobson are both rookies, just arrived at the team, they are still quite honest, they don't dare to be lazy at all, and they are honestly training themselves.

"Joe, Del told you to go to the conference room."

Qiao Hai looked at it for a while, and Bill Polka, another assistant coach of the team, ran over and asked Qiao Hai to go to the conference room for a meeting.

Qiao Hai nodded and followed Bill Polka towards the conference room on the second floor.

"We'll have to discuss the tactics for the new season......" Qiao Hai found a seat in the conference room and sat down, Del Harris glanced at Qiao Hai, who was the last to enter the door, and directly started the topic.

In the new season, with a lot of changes in the starting lineup, the team's tactics do need to change, the original tactic was Shaquille O'Neal's single-core strategy, but now the problem is that Nick Van Exel is going to be traded, and Eddie Jones has to go to the bench.

The starter became Derrick Fisher plus Kobe, a blue-collar point guard and an All-Star scoring guard, and Kobe Bryant was the only one left with a strong scoring point on the outside.

For Del Harris, what tactics to play in the new season is also a headache for him.

"In the new season, we will make some changes to the starting lineup, Nick Van Exel will be traded, Kobe Bryant will be in the starting lineup, Eddie will go off the bench, so our tactics need to change a bit, I don't know if you have any good suggestions?"

As soon as Del Harris finished speaking, Bill Polka raised his hand: "Trade Nick?" Let Eddie go to the bench? What does management want to do? ”

Qiao Hai looked at Bill Polka, who was a little furious, squinted his eyes and didn't speak.

Del Harris pressed his hand with a smile on his face: "Okay Bill, don't talk about it, it's a decision from the management, we just do do it, but tactically, we do need to make changes." ”

Johi continued to observe, and he felt that Del Harris was smiling to hide his true thoughts.

was interfered with by the management, Del Harris obviously still has a lot of grievances, and this Bill Polka may be a tool for Del Harris to express his grievances.

No one spoke, and it was Bill Polka who was the first to speak.

Bill Polka pretended to think for a while and put forward his suggestion: "We can change the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, let Kobe Bryant and Shaq play blocking and pick-and-roll, and continue to use Shaq's containment on the inside." ”

Del Harris smiled and nodded, "Any other suggestions?" ”

At this time, Qiao Hai stood up.

"I think we can try a triangle offense, where Shaq can be Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant can be Scott Pippen......"

"Kobe Bryant is Scott Pippen? Don't be funny! Kobe Bryant isn't that playmaker, averaging less than three assists per game last season. Bill Polka didn't give Qiao Hai a chance to continue, and directly interrupted Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai frowned: "That's because he didn't have much ball control last season, if Kobe Bryant is given enough ball, Kobe Bryant will be an excellent playmaker." ”

"Give Kobe Bryant the ball? Joe, you're funny, you've never coached in a professional team, right? You still need to accumulate experience, how can a team with such a configuration as the Lakers give Kobe Bryant the ball? Bill Polka smiled, and Johi thought he was smiling harshly.

"In the Lakers, the ball is Shaq's, isn't it putting the cart before the horse to give the ball to others?"

"Giving the ball to a center forward is putting the cart before the horse."

"But that center forward is Shaquille O'Neal."

Seeing that Qiao Hai was about to quarrel with Bill Polka, at this time, Del Harris stood up and interrupted the quarrel between the two: "Okay, okay, stop arguing." ”

Then, when Qiao Hai and Bill Polka were quiet, Del Harris first looked at Qiao Hai: "Joe, you are a newcomer, let's learn first, there are too many difficulties in the triangle offensive tactics, which are not suitable for us, so we will change to blocking and dismantling tactics in the new season......"

Del Harris made a specific arrangement, and Qiao Hai didn't understand the blocking tactics, so he couldn't interject.

He shook his head secretly, this tactical meeting, he had already seen the reality clearly.

As an old-school coach, Del Harris is indeed too stubborn and stubborn to believe in himself.

And in the Lakers, even the coach has to be senior, Bill Polka mocked Qiao Hai for needing to accumulate experience, and even Del Harris asked Qiao Hai to learn first.

Qiao Hai could only smile at this, and then looked at Del Harris with a sad look.

Del Harris had to die, and Qiao Hai couldn't stop him......
