Chapter 346: The Ball Problem
Kobe Bryant, a legendary superstar, has to make way for him even if it is Wang Cannon, after all, Kobe Bryant is the benchmark of the Lakers.
Therefore, in the game against the Raptors, Kobe Bryant was the last player to play as the finale, and in the previous game of more than a month, the privilege of being the last to play has always belonged to Wang Cannon.
Of course, Wang Cannon doesn't particularly care about this kind of thing, the purpose of his coming to the Lakers is just a simple revenge, it is estimated that it will be about the same for a year, there is no need to be jealous for the status of the team, he doesn't have that idle time.
After all, Kobe Bryant has just made a comeback, and both the Lakers team doctor and head coach Nigro are careful about Kobe's playing time, for fear that this baby will accidentally get hurt again.
So in the game against the Raptors, Kobe Bryant only played 20 minutes, warmed up, got 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists and went down to sit and watch the excitement.
The Raptors themselves are not a particularly strong team in the league, the Raptors' record so far in the game is 10-10, which is slightly inferior to the Lakers who are full of injuries.
96:84, this is the final score of the two sides, the one in front is the Lakers.
In this game, Wang Cannon didn't play for a long time, just in the early 30 minutes, and the number of jù was slightly lower than the average number of jù per game, with 39 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
Negro is not D'Antoni, Wang Cannon is his own disciple, and he can't bear to use Wang Cannon on the field like an animal, although Wang Cannon is really as perverted as an animal.
After Negro's arrival, although the number of Wang Cannons has declined significantly, the team's winning rate has increased a lot, and Negro makes reasonable use of Wang Cannon. Defensive masters such as Ci Shiping and Hill have also greatly increased the defensive intensity of the Lakers, ranking among the top few in the league in points conceded per game, only slightly below the Bulls, Spurs, Pacers and other teams that have always been known for their defense.
There are no particularly big highlights in the game itself, and neither the Lakers nor the Raptors are currently strong teams in the league. But due to the return of Laker Kobe Bryant, this game has also become highly anticipated.
Many people agree with Negro's use of Kobe, Kobe is not as good as before after all, although the level is still there, and the fighting spirit is not low, but after all, he is a veteran who has been in the league for 18 years, and he must be careful when using it.
The current Lakers' record is quite optimistic, and there is no need to overuse Kobe Bryant because of the rush to improve the team's record.
That's what Negro did really well.
Five games after Kobe Bryant's comeback. The average playing time per game is also about 25 minutes, and in these five games, the Lakers only lost the game against the Thunder on the 14th, of course, there are reasons why the opponents in the other games are not of high level.
After five games, everyone watched Kobe's recovery and thought it was good, so Negro decided to let Kobe play for more than 30 minutes in the game against the Grizzlies on the 18th.
Kobe Bryant's playing time has increased. The Lakers' overall offensive firepower has suddenly risen a notch.
This is Kobe! When did Bryant not face a two-man attack? Give Kobe Bryant a double bag, plus a king cannon that even a three-person bag can't necessarily be guarded against. There are only 5 people in a team who can play, and the two of them have already attracted everyone, how can others play?
Originally, the Lakers' defense was already very strong, and now their offensive ability has suddenly become stronger, so the Lakers' strength immediately soared to more than a dozen places in the official team power rankings, and rose to sixth place in minutes.
If it weren't for Wang Cannon and Kobe, the problem of ball distribution could not be effectively solved. I'm afraid the Lakers will become the top three in the power rankings and become the favorites to win the championship.
That's right, the ball problem with Wang and Kobe Bryant is now the biggest problem for the Lakers.
This question Negro has been a headache for a long, long time.
Whether it is Wang Cannon or Kobe, they both belong to the kind of players who need the ball very much to attack with the ball, and both of them have the same temper as cows. It's so stubborn that it's impossible to make any concession turn into a green leaf.
What Negro is doing now is trying to stagger the outbreak time of the two people, Wang Cannon plays the first quarter, let him rest in the second quarter to play Kobe, and then switch back to the third quarter, and so on.
Although with the strength of Wang Cannon and Kobe, such a solo fight can still kill most teams alive, but Negro knows very well that if it is changed to the playoffs, it is almost impossible to go on with this style of play.
In the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs and the in-depth analysis of the opponent's tactical characteristics, no matter who the opponent is, it is very likely to think of a way to deal with this kind of Wang Cannon to play Kobe Bryant for a while, if you can't effectively connect these two people together, it is too difficult to win.
Although Negro knows this, but there is nothing he can do, as I have said before, these two guys are stubborn tempers, and no one will admit defeat, it is not easy to maintain the status quo like this without turning his face.
In fact, Nigro is very strange, Kobe Bryant, as the boss of the Lakers, brushing the number of jù to find a sense of zài or something is something that must be done, but why is Wang Cannon so obsessed with counting jù? His purpose for coming to the Lakers has always been clear, it shouldn't matter to him what he counts, the team's record is the key, why would he compete with Ke to brush up on jù?
Negro didn't know that Wang Da Cannon's brush was not a number of jù, but a white flower of silver, for Wang Cannon, every time he scored a rebound on the scene, it was a big ocean! Who is going to have trouble with money? Especially a brainless comic like Wang Cannon who uses all his savings to strengthen his attributes!
Negro couldn't figure it out, but that didn't prevent him from supporting Wang Cannon, who was his closest confidant compared to Kobe. A 34-year-old superstar who is completely unfamiliar with himself, a 26-year-old who is at the peak of his career and is at the peak of his career, many more cattle than superstars who call themselves bosses, it is natural to choose which one to choose.
Negro is now a champion head coach, and he has some confidence when he coaches, so although there is no big move in terms of playing time and core position, when formulating Lakers tactics, Nigro tailors the tactics for Wang Cannon no less than Kobe's, and even more. (To be continued......)
