"It's not a traditional team in the traditional sense of the word, or this young team has a completely different idea from what basketball is now, and I have to admit that the young head coach of the East has embarked on a new path, and it looks like a good one."

Freddie Terez, the league's recognized master tactician and winner of the college basketball sports award that bears his name, is 81 years old.

A native of Los Angeles, Freddie also carved out his own glory in Los Angeles, playing for the Los Angeles Lakers for 36 years, from his playing days to his coaching days.

From the age of twenty-six to sixty-two, Freddie dedicated the best of his youth to Los Angeles and to the Lakers.

Here, he won a total of nine championships, although only two as a player, but Freddie won a total of seven championships in his coaching days, and he is the man who won the most NBA championships in this time and space.

In the 80s of the last century, Freddie led the Lakers to create a four-game championship, and it was this four-game championship that allowed the Lakers to lay the foundation of a super strong team, and also made Freddie a basketball tactician recognized by the entire Western world.

At that time, the Lakers team led by Freddie played the twin-tower tactic that was not favored by many people at the time, and relied on the strong advantage of the interior to dominate the entire league, which also made the entire league treat the twin-tower tactic as a classic tactic since then.

It wasn't until the late nineties of the last century that Freddie left the Lakers for physical reasons, when the scene of his retirement caused a sensation around the world, and countless current and retired stars of the league attended his retirement ceremony in person.

After retiring, Freddie had two heart bypass surgeries, but he has been well maintained since then, and although he is now over 80 years old, he still looks very energetic.

This time, Sals, the host of the daily live show of the North American Sports News Network, did not hesitate to move the program studio to Los Angeles in order to invite the league legend to participate in his program, and the old man who has not been able to let go of his basketball career also came to the studio to jointly explain this very high-profile game.

At halftime, Freddie praised Wang Lei's runners, although he laid the foundation for the league's current interior situation for Wang, but after so many years of quiet thinking, Freddie still found a major drawback in the current popular style of play.

So although Freddie is the greatest coach in the history of the Lakers, he didn't care about praising the Lakers' opponents in the live broadcast.

"Do you mean that Coach Stone (Wang Lei's English name is Stone Wang) is playing very well? Or do you think the inside-based style of play is a bit outdated? ”

Sals Olovocandi, who is the host of the ace show, is very keen to point out the subtext of Freddy's words.

"Haha, I didn't say that, Sals, but I've always believed that nothing can be passed down forever, and that change, or evolution, is eternal. In fact, many people are already doing this now, but most people are still looking for changes in a limited circle, but this young man from the East, Stone has at least jumped out of this circle, and his way of thinking is not rigid, which is what he excels at. ”

Freddie was very mean and stern when he was younger, but after two near-death heart surgeries, Freddie changed a lot, he became open-minded and kind, and he also saw more things that he had never seen before.

"Wow, your statement is too profound, maybe there is a simpler way to put it? Our audience should also be eager to hear what you think about the future of basketball. ”

Since it was an intermission, Sals had to guide the commentators to say more, as the ace host of the North American Sports News Network, Sals's hosting style seemed to be very high-end.

"My opinion? Well, in fact, my opinion is very simple, basketball needs to involve more people, and this is the most important foundation for the long-term development of a sport. ”

"Maybe no one has counted how many people in North America are more than two meters tall, and how many of these people have basketball foundation and potential? I can say for sure that there won't be too many, so now you see, a lot of teams in the league have European players or players from other regions on the inside, and that's still not enough, look at the drafts in the past few years, basically as long as the players have height, no matter how bad the foundation is, they can almost get into the top of the draft. ”

"Now too many people focus too much on big players, so that these people ignore the most basic principle of basketball, that is, shooting, although having height can indeed make players have a great advantage on the court, but this is only a point, we should return to rationality, don't be obsessed with data and fame, give more young people opportunities, look for more changes, so that the development of basketball will be more long-term."

A large part of the reason why Freddie wants to participate in this live show is that he wants to explain his new basketball concept, I have to say that this old man who dedicates his whole body to basketball is indeed unique, and his concept coincides with Wang Lei in a sense.

At this time, in the home team's locker room, Lakers head coach Van Lauderway was also arranging how the team would chase points in the second half.

Van Lauderway didn't expect this game to be so difficult, the team had the advantage at the beginning, but immediately suffered a fierce counterattack from the opponent, he was indeed a little unprepared mentally, but after calming down, he still had a new idea, but now the question is whether the player can fully implement his ideas in the game.

"Stelly, in the third quarter I need you to the high post, you have to play your passing ability in the high post, you have this ability, and I need you to pass the ball to Jack, Jack, you have to move more aggressively in the second half, run back, pay attention to the opponent's bag clip on Stelly, as long as a bag clip, you run back to the basket, their interior height is not enough, you can dunk to your heart's content."

Van Lauderway This is just a simple tactic, but it is indeed a good way to play against the Runners at the moment, the reason why the Lakers were pulled away in the second quarter, the main thing is that the team's offense has almost stalled, and the individual players cannot play the advantages of the overall team, and what the Lakers need now is to play the whole game.
