Chapter 620: The Old One
“BAM-BAM-BAM!!! Danny Granger, hitting back-to-back three-pointers!! ”
“YEAAAAAAAAH——!!”
With the words shouted by countless commentators on the scene in various Chinese, the King's bench exploded instantly, and the players all went crazy, standing up and cheering for the old ball skin that had just returned to the team.
"Calm and calm, it should be." Danny Granger didn't forget to put on a fork, all the way back to defense, his hands were still beside him and kept making suppressive movements, arrogant.
…… Damn, even Granger, the thick-eyed and big-eyed man, has "defected"!
Chen Mu was really a little crying and laughing, he himself had a trick with Granger at his peak, and he knew exactly what kind of character Granger was before.
Although Granger is not as quiet and unpretentious as the public thinks, it is definitely not an endless chatter, and it is completely different from what it is now.
Chen Mu didn't know what happened in the summer, and he didn't know how much effort Gu Yu made when the team made a deal and recruited players. But he believes that the introduction of an old player like Granger in the locker room, Gu Yu, will definitely know the news in advance.
With Gu Yu's character, when he knows the news, he will definitely go to the other party to talk to him, and more or less know the other party's thoughts and thoughts. After all, Granger is not a player of the same era as Gu Yu, the influence of this old ball skin in the locker room is very huge, if you leave it alone and don't communicate in advance, the whole team will be subdued by the old ball skin with a few words, and the Kings don't know whose world it is.
Chen Mu can't guess the specific process, but judging from the current situation, Chen Mu can be sure of one thing:
"Danny Granger's personality seems to have changed, and I feel that I have also been affected by my cousin hahaha!" On the side of the commentary stage, Su Jun saw the change at a glance, and said with a smile what Chen Mu was thinking.
That's right, Granger has changed.
This must be Gu Yu's "credit"!
And Brother Tang's outburst has just begun.
"Run, run, all of you have to run well, don't be lazy, you know? Especially Russell, you hear it...... Yo, pass it to me?? ”
"Whew!"
Empty-handed running chattered, cut out a half-volley opportunity from the bottom line, received a pass from Wei Shao, and shot in the middle.
Middle!
"Defend and be careful about your positioning, don't easily free up space in the middle distance. The Philadelphia 76ers are a very solid team in the mid-range, and there are three players who can shoot regularly in the mid-range, if we don't take advantage of the opportunities in the mid-range...... Eh! Referee, look at him hitting me! ”
"Beep beep beep! Stephen Curry, foul on the ball with the ball!! ”
On the defensive end, he was talking to others, aiming at the opportunity and suddenly moving sideways to a crotch covering position in the middle, Curry crashed into it and immediately fell down, and turned around and asked the referee to foul.
Successfully defended!
"If you can't find a chance inside, remember to spread it outside! The combination of inside and outside, nine shallow and one deep, can penetrate the defense line of Philadelphia well...... It's a good story, cousin! This shot is comfortable! ”
"Whew!"
After covering in the front court, he chattered outside, and his eyes kept watching Gu Yu's singles opening point, and at the same time, he made the most perfect position adjustment at his feet. After Gu Yu received the ball, he made a three-point shot on the 45-degree flank.
Going!
“YEEEEEEEEES!!!”
Continuous output, amazing firepower and continuous scoring, Danny Granger, a veteran who has just recovered from a long injury, actually broke out strongly in the face of the league's No. 1 Philadelphia 76ers, and scored 11 points in just 5 minutes of the opening game, making all the fans in the Philadelphia Wachovia Center Arena look confused.
This...... What happened??
The cousin opened a little bit, Wei Shao basically didn't open a beard here, why did Granger suddenly jump out?!!
"Beep beep beep! Philadelphia 76ers, request timeout!! ”
The referee's whistle blew, and on the Philadelphia side, coach Carlisle couldn't help it, frowned and shook his head, and asked for a timeout.
"Good job, good good, everyone is fighting very hard and fighting very united! This is the king of Sacramento in my memory! On the other side, Granger was out of breath, sweating, playing a relaxed game, and when he returned to the bench to rest, he did not forget to stretch out his hand to his teammates and keep high-fives to boost the team's morale.
"Hey, hey, Daddy Danny, yes!" Gu Yu stepped forward, high-fived Granger, and then reached out with a smile and patted Granger's back: "I thought you couldn't hold the ball, but I didn't expect to have two hands!" ”
"I'm going to shoot you too hard, you're ......" Granger coughed on the spot, and his pretentious appearance caused the whole King's team to laugh, and even Wei Shao, who had always looked like a swallow, shook his shoulders with laughter.
Very good.
Phil Jackson also nodded slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he looked at Granger, he couldn't help but think of a few people in his mind.
Oakley in the early days of the Bulls, Kukoc and Kerr in the dynastic period, Fox and Horry in the Lakers period.
These players, perhaps the names left in the long history, are not so dazzling and shiny, and at the team's most glorious time, they are also more considered to be the icing on the cake.
But only people who have been in that team will know how important these people are to the team.
Finding a good veteran is definitely a magic weapon for the team. Usually I can't see the effect, and sometimes I even play, which makes people feel like I'm dragging my feet. But at the critical moment, these veterans are stable and competitive.
"Nice reinforcements." Tilting his head slightly, Phil Jackson looked at the stands and nodded slightly at Divac not far away.
"Cousin has a good eye." Divac smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at Gu Yu, who was talking to Granger, the smile on his face was almost impossible to hide.
Yes, cousin has a good eye.
"So what tactics are we going to play next?" Granger was like a prank, blinking and staring at Gu Yu with a sincere expression.
"Nonsense, of course it's me singles! Who agrees, who opposes?? Gu Yu's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and Wei Shao gestured his middle finger not far away, but the corners of his mouth also raised a smile.
If you can use Granger to steadily suppress Wei Shao's temper, let Wei Shao take his heart, know the importance of the team, and know that winning is the king......
All the ideas of my cousin when he started recruiting in the summer were really, step by step.
"Alright, come on, talk about tactics." Phil Jackson picked up the tactical board and prepared to lay out the tactics.
"Instructor Winged Bucket, you're going to pour us chicken soup again, right?" Gu Yu turned around and made a joke, which caused laughter again, and even the cameraman who was in charge of following the situation of the Kings team was shaking.
Here we are talking about tactics, and over there, Divac's mind has flown back to the previous summer.
Before the start of the recruitment, Gu Yu had an idea when he discussed it with Phil Jackson and Divac.
"If Russell is the main recruit, then someone will need to be able to cure him."
At that time, when Gu Yu was seriously talking about his thoughts, Divac didn't know that this usually crazy guy actually had such goods in his stomach.
"Ordinary players can't do it, it takes two steps to suppress Wei Shao." Gu Yu said: "The first step is to have a Mesozoic player, that is, the kind that has fought with LeBron, Chen Mu, Kobe, and Duncan." Only this level of experience can calm Russell and prevent him from going his own way at the beginning of the season, not caring about anything, only knowing how to brush data. ”
"There aren't a lot of players like that, so we have to think about it......" Divac nodded, "What about the second step??" ”
"Need an old man like you...... Ah no, it's just an old player, the super old one, the last generation. Gu Yu said: "I've fought with O'Neal, fought with Kidd, fell out with Pippen, and sprayed with Ma Long." This kind of old guy usually doesn't speak, and in the second half of the season, or even in the playoffs, Russell will definitely not be able to help his own nature and suddenly start messing around. When the time comes, this old guy needs to come forward and find a way to set things right......! ”
Who these two people are, now we already know.
If Gu Yu's idea can be perfectly realized, it stands to reason that the Kings should complete the internal atmosphere adjustment problem at the training camp stage. When the regular season starts, it's time to get straight into the fighting stance.
Unfortunately, both of them were injured. Coupled with the continuous serious injuries in the opening season, the king played very poorly, which once made Divac very suspicious of whether Gu Yu's proposal was reliable or not.
Fortunately, the problem seems to be slowly being resolved.
The Kings are about to get back on track, maybe slowly, maybe a lot of losses to get the nerves on the nerves of troubled children, but at least, it's in the right direction.
One of them, who has just returned to the team, played a huge role in the first game of his return, calming down the mind of Wei Shao, the most difficult person in the team.
The other is still recuperating from his injuries and his return date is undecided. But seeing the current situation, Divac believes that Gu Yu's judgment must be correct.
Wait until that guy comes back too, plus Bynum and George come back.
At that time, the Kings will be the strongest lineup ......!
"Beep beep! It's time to pause!! ”
The referee's whistle blew, the tactical arrangements of the two sides ended, and the players geared up and returned to the court.
is still the starting lineup has not changed, and the one big and four small given by Philadelphia already looks a little radical.
But the lineup of the Kings team can't help but wonder if Phil Jackson had some drugs before the game and had a problem with his braincase.
"Point guard Thomas Jr., scoring guard Wei Shao, small forward cousin Gu Yu, power forward Granger, center Dream Green! The Kings are still super small, the bayonets are red, and the game continues!! ”
