Originally, the Lakers' training camp was set at two o'clock this afternoon, and no players have come over yet, so Sun Dahei came early and appeared on the training ground at nine o'clock. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Dahei's performance made Wharton Jr. extremely satisfied, and he was even more confident in the Lakers winning the championship! With Wharton's current coaching qualifications, if he is cut by the Lakers, it will be difficult for him to find another position as head coach, and if he can lead the new Lakers to win the championship this season, then his value as a head coach will definitely double!

……

In the training ground, Sun Dahei saw that Wharton Jr. was discussing tactics with several assistant coaches, and he didn't bother and trained on his own.

At present, Sun Dahei's main training project is actually still dribbling, and many offensive means need to have a solid dribbling technique......

Catch the ball and throw, this Sun Dahei can't do it at all, and his current mid-range shooting level is still a scum...... Although Da Hei has purposefully trained his mid-range shots, the effect can only be regarded as average......

The projection ability of many center players is a big problem, like Howard, who really never trains to shoot? Definitely not, in order to develop his offensive ability, he will definitely train the most easy and safe way to score in the middle shot, but the training effect is definitely not ideal, and their centers with too much strength are facing the problem of stiffness......

Sun Dahei's current mid-range shooting training effect is actually much stronger than Howard's traditional power centers, and his current shooting rate in the open position in training is about 40%......

Some people may wonder why Sun Dahei's free throw shooting rate has reached more than 60%, but the shooting rate in the open position is so poor......

The reason why the free throw shooting rate is higher is because Sun Dahei has enough time to aim and prepare...... And mid-shot, if you prepare and aim like a free throw, the daylily is cold......

With a 40% shooting percentage in the open position, Dahei is already quite satisfied with this result...... Of course, he also knows that this result is nothing compared to those defenders, and those attacking guards, if they can't shoot more than 70% of the shots in the open position, they must be failing attacking guards.

It is conceivable that if none of the open positions can reach 70% shooting, then it will be impossible for these attacking guards to achieve a 45% mid-range shooting percentage when they are manned......

And now, Sun Dahei's vacant mid-range shot is only 40%, and it is conceivable that when someone is defending, his mid-range shot will be miserable...... Therefore, at present, the CIC must not become Sun Dahei's conventional combat weapon.

In the short term, Sun Dahei can only follow the old method of this season, and make hard steel under the basket!

In fact, Sun Dahei's hard-steel frontal style of play, coupled with the essence of the dream dance steps he has now learned, the offensive efficiency is still extremely high, and his highest shooting percentage in the league last season is the best proof!

It's just that Da Hei has a strong sense of distress, and now he is young and vigorous, and the hard steel under the basket is invincible, which does seem to be a good situation, but what if he is old and weak? At that time, could he still beat those young men who were at their peak under the basket?

The most typical example is O'Neill, O'Neill's peak is the existence of God blocking and killing God, and Buddha should destroy Buddha! However, at the end of his career, his form declined very seriously, and he suffered a loss of insufficient offensive means......

In stark contrast to O'Neal is Abdul-Jabbar, who has been able to score 20+ points in the final years of his career, not because of his body, but because of his excellent individual skills......

Compared with the two, even if Sun Dahei's brain is not bright, he also knows the importance of personal skills to a player, especially their big center who eats his body.

Of course, tempering personal skills is a very long-term investment, and Sun Dahei is not arrogant enough to think that he can improve his skills to the extreme in a few months, this is a slow and long-term process!

Fortunately, Sun Dahei is not in a hurry now, at least for fifteen years, Sun Dahei's body can still gain an overwhelming advantage when fighting against opposing players!

What he really invests in is the end of his career, and Dahei doesn't want to wait for him to be old and decrepit, and be beaten by young people......

……

Sun Dahei and Wharton Jr. had lunch together, and there was not much communication between the two so far, taking advantage of this short lunch break, Sun Dahei and Wharton Jr. also had an in-depth exchange of views on the future of the Lakers.

Speaking of which, Sun Dahei's feelings about Walton Jr. are still a little contradictory, first of all, Wharton Jr.'s tactics are in the same vein as Warriors head coach Kerr......

Is Cole's tactics good enough? Good for sure! Otherwise, the Warriors wouldn't have been so competitive for years in a row!

But anyone with a discerning eye can feel that Cole's tactical system is actually very unsuitable for Sun Dahei, and Sun Dahei also knows this! And now that Wharton Jr. is coaching the Lakers, it is obvious that he is not good enough in terms of tactical reserves, and there is no way to directly create a set of suitable tactics for Sun Dahei.

This is where Da Hei feels a little distressed about Wharton Jr.'s coaching......

But some of the shining points of little Wharton still make Sun Dahei quite appreciated, such as dedication, less than eight o'clock in the morning, little Wharton has already gathered his assistant coaches to start discussing tactics, ordinary coaches really can't do such dedication......

And Wharton Jr. also expressed enough respect for Sun Dahei, and many questions would be discussed with Sun Dahei first and asked Sun Dahei's opinion......

Although Wharton Jr. is certainly not the best head coach in the NBA league at the moment, Sun Dahei feels that he should be the most suitable head coach to coach himself! Today's Lakers are equivalent to Sun Dahei and Wharton Jr. growing together in terms of tactics!

And if Wharton Jr. is replaced by a coach with a very high level like Popovich, Sun Dahei feels that his life must be difficult, and Sun Dahei, who is almost equal to a tactical idiot, will definitely be scolded by Popovich...... The key is that even if Sun Dahei is scolded for being bloody, he can't do anything about Popovich......

……

On October 6, the second game of the Lakers' preseason is scheduled for this day, and the opponent is the Saramento Kings, which is still the Lakers' home game!

These seven preseason games of the Lakers are all the home of the Lakers! When Sun Dahei saw this matchup, he was still very puzzled, could it be that the league was taking care of the Lakers? Otherwise, how to end the Lakers are all playing at home! In the end, after the explanation of Wharton Jr. and some veterans in the team, he finally understood......

It turns out that the reason why the Lakers have played all seven preseason games at home is that there is basically nothing wrong with saying that the league takes care of the Lakers, and the league mainly wants to take care of themselves......

As we all know, the Lakers' ball market is huge, even if the home team plays badly, there are rarely scenes where tickets are not sold out, and the preseason is not counted in the regular season record, some fans are not very interested......

If the game is played on other home courts, it is very likely that there will be fewer ticket buyers, while the Lakers will have no worries about this at all......

In addition, the rise of the Lakers this season, even in the preseason games that are not included in the regular season record, tickets have been sold very hot, and they have long been out of stock!

Generally speaking, like these 30 teams in the NBA, their main income is ticket revenue, broadcast revenue and commercial sponsorship.

Among them, the ticket revenue is the bulk of the team's income, like the Lakers' Staples Arena, which can accommodate 20,000 people to watch the game, if all the tickets are sold out, with an average of 100 US dollars per ticket, a regular season, they will earn more than 160 million US dollars alone! Coupled with playoff ticket revenue, playoff appearance fees, broadcast revenue, and commercial sponsorship, it can be said that the Lakers and Knicks, the two biggest teams in the market, are still the most profitable teams in the entire league, even if their record is bad!

According to the league's regulations, 6% of the regular season ticket revenue must be handed over to the league, and 45% of the playoff ticket revenue must be handed over to the league! The league then uses that ticket revenue to pay staff and pay playoff teams to appear!

And the Lakers are currently in these seven preseason games, even if the price of preseason tickets is not as high as the regular season and playoffs, the average price of tickets has reached more than 50 US dollars! The Lakers can earn at least $7 million just by relying on these seven preseason games! And the NBA league can also get hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions!

And if these games are not the home of the Lakers and are played in other arenas, first of all, the capacity of their arenas is not as good as that of Staples Arena, and the attendance rate is not as good as the Lakers, it is very likely that the number of people watching the games is only half of the Lakers, that is, 10,000 people, and the team ticket prices in these small ball cities are not as high as the Lakers, all in all, if they are also seven preseason games, the income will be about three million at most......

With less ticket revenue, the NBA league's commission will naturally be less! The preseason is just a training and game to find a feel for the game, not included in the regular season record, the NBA league will naturally not miss this opportunity to increase revenue, so that the Lakers will all play at home in these seven preseason games!

……

After listening to the explanations of Wharton Jr. and the veterans, Sun Dahei finally understood the door, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart The shrewdness of the NBA league, a commercial league......

……

At eight o'clock in the evening on October 6, at Staples Arena, the Lakers will play in order, and Sun Dahei is naturally the finale of the big guy.

Now some young players of the Lakers are looking at Sun Dahei's eyes, and after the high-profile party a few days ago, there is a trace of admiration in their eyes......

Originally, they were just afraid of Sun Dahei's strength and status in the team, but now it is completely different, these young players are all-round admiration for Sun Dahei......

"Okay, brothers, this game is against the weak team king, we can't lose face, even if it's a preseason, we have to show 100% strength!" Sun Dahei is mobilizing before the game to boost morale.

Wharton Jr. also found that Sun Dahei's morale-boosting effect is much better than his own, which is also Wharton's last resort, the current Lakers lineup has changed blood, some of the main players have just joined the Lakers, and Wharton Jr.'s career data is inconspicuous, just a substitute, and he has no qualifications in his coaching career, and it is difficult for new players to convince him......

In this case, Wharton Jr. can only rely on Sun Dahei's deterrence to improve the execution of players' tactics......

"Good! Defeat the King! ”

"We must let the king lose the pants, we will not be relentless!"

Under the encouragement of Sun Dahei, some young players have clamored one after another, and veterans like Ci Shiping and Vince Carter are smiling at these young players and knocking down their opponents.

The referee blew the whistle, the game officially began, and the starters of both sides began to appear, and the Lakers still used the starting lineup from the last game.

Center Sun Dahei, power forward Farid, small forward Thaddeus Young, scoring guard Ingram, point guard Chris Paul.

The starting lineup on the Kings' side is extremely shabby, since Cousins was traded, the Kings' starting lineup has not been able to find a star on the table except for Rudy Gay, who has some weight......

Their starting lineup is center Georges Papayanis, power forward Scalar Rabicie, small forward Rudy Gay, shooting guard Tyrek Evans, and point guard Buddy Hield......

In this game, Kings head coach Dave Joerg put Buddy Hield, who has been playing point guard, into the point guard position, and must also want to use the preseason to test Buddy Hield's point guard potential......

Since Cousins was traded, the Kings' interior line can only be described as dilapidated, and the two interior players in the starting lineup, Georges Papajanis and Scalar Rabisier, are very low-known, and their names are extremely strange, smelly and long......

The interior is weak, and the Kings' lineup on the forward line looks good, but the effect of making Buddy Hield a point guard is still unknown......

When the players from both sides came on the stage, Buddy Hilde saw Sun Dahei's figure, and suddenly had a strange look on his face, a little embarrassed and a little resentful......

He suffered a big loss from Sun Dahei in the Rookie Challenge, and he was caught by Sun Dahei's teammate with a shot that could be hit steadily......
