On July 7, Zhang drove a second-generation Ford Explorer to the Lakers' training gym. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This SUV is not a luxury model in the United States, Zhang Zhu mainly looks at its spaciousness, otherwise his two-meter height will seem narrow to drive most cars, and only Jeep models can make him feel comfortable.

Zhang Mo has returned to Australia, but he plans to move the company to the United States, on the one hand, the American market is larger, but the main thing is that he doesn't want to be too far away from his son, and he doesn't worry about Zhang Mo being alone in the United States.

The Lakers' summer training camp officially starts today, and rookies generally have to delay training camp for a few days because they have to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the new city first. But with the help of Jeanne Bass, Zhang Fu didn't even have to worry about new furniture, and his single apartment was in full condition from the beginning, and he only needed to carry his luggage to move in.

After arriving at the training gym, Zhang met the two assistant coaches, Bernie Bickerstaff and Larry Drew, for the first time.

The Lakers' coaching staff has a total of three assistant coaches, as well as three coaches with different responsibilities, and including head coach Harris, the Lakers' coaching staff has a total of seven, but this is only the normal personnel structure of NBA teams, and some teams have double-digit coaching staff.

These NBA coaches also have their own vacations, as well as rotational breaks, with only half of the coaching staff working during Summer League.

The Lakers held a summer training camp this time, mainly to familiarize some players with the team's system through training and games, so that rookies can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game as soon as possible.

Harris was going to play the Lakers' star style of play in the '80s last season, which is "SHOW· TIME", but after trying it in training camp, I found that this Lakers team is not suitable for this system, because the reason why the Lakers who dominated the 80s can play pleasing to the eye and win nine Western Conference championships in ten years is completely dependent on the strong individual strength of the stars.

But after the Magic retired, the Lakers no longer had such a strong individual ability, so taking advantage of the change of the new three-point line, the Lakers also kept pace with the times to add a novel three-point attack, while consolidating the defense, abandoning those flashy star plays, and focusing on strengthening teamwork, which helped the Lakers return to the playoffs.

This season, the Lakers' tactical play is still difficult to clarify, because the Magic is likely to return in the regular season, and the avid Lakers fans naturally think of the former SHOW· In the TIME era, I remembered the magician's unique skill no·look·pass (passing the ball without looking at people), and I remembered the glory of their domination in the 80s......

However, this is not a good thing......

Many people think that once the Magic returns, they can lead the Lakers back to the top, but they ignore that the current Lakers team has long been without a hook, and there are no two sharp knives, Worthy and Scott, and their commander Magic Johnson has also become a bloated 36-year-old veteran, and he hasn't played for four years, can he still play the former No·Look Pass after his comeback?

Head coach Harris and general manager West both expressed deep skepticism, but they couldn't say much, who told the majority of Lakers fans to now count on Magic to lead the Lakers back to glory.

As soon as people go crazy, their sanity is gone, and they ignore that Jordan and Magic's comeback situation is completely different, and the two are not comparable.

Even many fans may not know what SHOW· TIME？

In fact, SHOW· TIME can't be considered a tactic, it's just the evaluation of the media and fans on the super fast and gorgeous Lakers offense at that time, as well as the fierce lineup of the team.

The "tactics" of this era are not as diverse as those of the 21st century, and with the restrictions of some strange rules, there are basically two schools of "outside singles" and "inside singles", and the three-point shot is a new field that has only begun to be valued last year, and no team has really tapped the potential of this offense.

In the eighties and nineties, there were few stars such as two-way forwards and two-way guards, and the most famous in this period were the four major centers and various violent power forwards, and then there were the star outside represented by Jordan and his countless successors, basically not superstars in the interior position, or superstars in the No. 2 position, and they were all superstars with super single ability.

Isn't this very similar to the later leagues, where the traditional center was completely gone, and the people who ruled the league became an all-attacking two-way guard?

This is the so-called situation to create heroes, what are the rules of each era of the league, what is the superstar that is created, the homogenization phenomenon is serious, it will make fans gradually form aesthetic fatigue, and then the league will see the opportunity to change the rules, then it will be another reincarnation.

Why are Jordan, Bird, and Magic greater than the big four? Because they are "heroes who make the times", especially Jordan, it is he who has changed the tradition that guards are not as good as the inside, and it is he who has used the power of idols to forcibly create a large number of guards with a similar style to himself, so he can be greater than those superstars who have been created by the times.

The strong teams in the league during this period are mainly playing talent ball, and team cooperation is natural, and team cooperation is naturally there, no matter what period it is, team cooperation is emphasized. However, at this time, the general trend in the league is still the single tactics of the stars, unlike the later emphasis on sharing the ball, weakening the players' singles and strengthening team cooperation.

Now the "team" is also very important, but it still has to be ranked behind the "star", so the most frequent scene in the game is the star singles.

And this kind of singles, there are no more than two kinds, either the singles of the outside stars, or the hand-to-hand combat of the inside players, in fact, it is quite boring to watch too much, and the tactical routines are relatively monotonous, if the three-point shot was not shortened by the league last season, I am afraid that few people will still shoot.

If you want to play pleasing to the eye during this period, unless you have a point guard like a magician, who can pass the ball with long eyes in the back of his head, and then the other players are also very strong in their individual ability, and after receiving the pass, they can go straight to the Yellow Dragon, dunk and make a layup like they don't need money......

And these are the so-called SHOW· TIME。

Actually, this is the later "blind a few fights", but this is the top version of the "blind a few fights". At that time, the Lakers lineup was equivalent to a combination of two All-Stars + two supergiants, and the chemistry between them was good, there was no infighting, at this time, "a few blind fights" was the best tactic, and the Lakers at that time were enough to solve all problems by relying only on the individual ability of the players.

If you think about it seriously, the later Suns bombardment, the Thunder's crazy fast attack, and the Heat's star counterattack basically have some of the Lakers SHOW· TIME, but they have been optimized and improved according to their own configuration.

The Lakers in the 80s, in addition to playing beautifully on the offensive end, they were also tough defensively, very aggressive, and especially good at pressing the ball carriers.

Does this kind of defense sound familiar?

That's right, this is the Heat team during the Big Three, both of which forced the ball carrier to make mistakes, and then took the ball to go fast, and the three-line fast break came wave after wave. In addition, the scale of this era is very large, confrontation is encouraged, the pace of the game is also very fast, and the referee has very little interference with the continuity of the game, which greatly increases the viewing experience, and finally becomes the SHOW· TIME。

But this year, the pattern of the alliance has changed again, and the return of the two old monsters still doesn't know what kind of turmoil it will cause to this alliance?

But one thing is for sure, the "three-point shot" will inevitably become another weapon that is gradually being taken seriously in the NBA!

In the past two years, the Rockets have relied on their novel "combination of inside and outside" style of play (that is, Coach Zhang's inside·out on his lips all day long, pass out and play back, pass out and fight back, you break through, he defends, and then scores, and the outside shot has a hit rate, so it is difficult for such a team to defend. ), won two championships in a row, in which three-point shooting and inside and outside tactics accounted for a large proportion, many teams were crushed by their novel combination of inside and outside tactics.

It can be said that the Rockets' two-game winning streak began to lead the league's three-point trend.

It was from these two years that the three-point shot was officially brought to the game as a factor that could determine the outcome of the game. Until then, low-post offense and single breakaways were used as more effective scoring tools. If you go back to the '80s, there were almost no three-pointers in that period, and it was all low-post offense and singles breakaways.

The Lakers now need Zhang to strengthen his breakthrough and back-to-back play, as well as his ability to shoot under the basket and finish. Secondly, he needs to have the ability to stabilize the mid-range shot, and the three-point shot can also be practiced under the existing rules, but there is no hurry, this can be said in a few years.

Breakouts, layups, back-to-back shots, mid-range shots, fast breaks-

These are the weapons that Zhang Qian must have on the offensive end, and these skills are indispensable for him to become a star-level player.

Single defense, proper rebounding and steals –

This is a skill that Zhang Qi needs to master on the defensive end, but if he can play well on the offensive end, the defensive end can be appropriately delayed.

Other skills such as three-point shooting, passing, and throwing will be practiced slowly when you have the opportunity in the future.

Although the Lakers still have half of their coaches on vacation, they already have a rough plan for how to train Zhang.

Zhang Qi came to the training hall and just changed his clothes, Jerry West and the magician he met for the first time, as well as "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, came to the training venue together, and the three of them went straight to Zhang Zhu, who spent a lot of money to get the top show.

"The media has been looking for you in the last few days, try to keep a low profile out there and focus on the summer league, and I want you to respond to the doubts with your actions." Jerry West knows that the media is not optimistic about Zhang Fu's voices, and there are waves of doubts, but he is actually worried that Zhang Qi will be influenced by the media.

"Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar met Zhang Zhu for the first time, because of the relationship between Bruce Lee's master, he has always been very friendly to Chinese, and Zhang Zhu is naturally no exception.

"The little guy has a good arm span, do you want to learn from me?" Abdul-Jabbar came up with something that many players could only dream of.

Zhang Yi was shocked when he heard this, Abdul-Jabbar is the most low-key of the legendary superstars, it is said that this person is so mad that he even faces the small guard who only reaches his armpit under the fast attack, and he will show off a sky hook on people's heads, of course he is very interested in this move, but this trick is the technique of the inside line, and he doesn't seem to be able to learn this outside line!

"That...... I'm number three...... I mean...... Can I learn hooking? In the face of several bigwigs, Zhang Yu was not arrogant at all, and continued to be his good baby.

"Wait for him to grow taller, he is not suitable for you to be your apprentice now." Jerry West's status is a little higher than Abdul-Jabbar, and these three people happen to be the representatives of the three eras of the Lakers, and in chronological order are Jerry West - "Abdul-Jabbar" Magic.

Abdul-Jabbar regretted it in his heart, perhaps influenced by Bruce Lee and the concept of Chinese martial arts, and he attached great importance to the word "inheritance".

Now he is a bit like a middle-aged peerless master, and suddenly found that his mastery has not been passed on, if another ten or twenty years, in case he is buried one day, the word "heavenly hook" can only be sent into the coffin with him, and it is completely lost. So in the past few years, as soon as he saw a good seedling, he wanted to pass on this mastery, but unfortunately he never met a genius who could truly inherit his skills.

The magician smiled at this time: "Little guy, Jerry said that you are the best outside rookie he has ever seen, do you want to make two moves with me?" ”

Zhang Yu was shocked again, and said that Lao Tzu didn't dare to fight with you, and if you were hit, wouldn't my harem system be given in vain?

But he didn't dare to show such a thought on his face, once he offended the Magic, then he would not have a good life with the Lakers.

These three gods didn't know what they were crazy about, but they actually came to see him together, which made him a little out of breath, so he could only change the topic with a tone of worship: "I have already got Mr. Jerry's autograph, and today I can get the autograph of the other two idols, I am so happy, but it's a pity that you and Mr. Karim are not wearing jerseys." ”

The magician listened to Zhang Qiu's sycophancy, and felt very relieved.

It was the first time the two had met, but the magician had a good impression of the overly handsome half-breed, and he liked such sensible lads.

However, his friendly eyes made Zhang Qiu feel uncomfortable, because he had seen the eyes of the faggots in the nightclub, which were basically similar to the magicians of this club, and when he thought of this guy's XX disease, Zhang Fu's ass felt a tingling, and he wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

Zhang Qi did not fight the magician in the end, and the magician at this time was obviously overweight, and he was training on his own.

At this time, the Magic is now in a dilemma, he is being openly boycotted by a group of stars led by Malone, which makes him very uncomfortable, especially seeing Jordan's comeback has been supported by the whole world, but only the Lakers fans who support him, as well as his own support, it is of course impossible to say that he is not disappointed.

It was the collective resistance of the league's stars that made the Magic delay his comeback plan, and it was also because his weight was too high, his 270-pound body was far from returning to the game, and at this time, he actually couldn't play a heads-up game, or even lose weight, and whether he could come back became a suspense.

But even if he can come back and get below 250 pounds, the Magic will have to play power forward, or even small forward, because his speed and flexibility are far from enough to play on the perimeter.

As soon as Zhang Qi saw the size of the magician today, he knew that he was not a big threat to himself, he didn't believe that a guy who weighed more than 250 pounds could come to play the No. 3 position, and this guy was 34 years old, so there was one less person among his competitors, which was good news!
