Chapter 344: It's Back
"Whew!"
Gently threw a three-pointer, and the basketball fluttered into the net.
Since strengthening his stats to full value, Wang Cannon's shooting has become quite accurate, and as long as the posture is complete, his shooting percentage is almost comparable to that of legendary shooters such as Ray Allen Miller.
Of course, his strength is not only in shooting, whether it is a breakthrough or an inside attack, the current Wang Cannon has absolute dominance, although there may still be a lack of skills, but under the absolute strength, a little flaw in skills is harmless.
Usually, except for the team's training games, Wang Cannon rarely comes to the arena to train, firstly, because the increase in his attribute training is already minimal, and secondly, the effect of training at home is much better than that in the arena, after all, in the Lakers' training gym, Wang Cannon does not dare to use the realistic simulation system to train unscrupulously.
The main reason why I came back to play in the training hall today was because I was so excited.
When I went to see Mike in the hospital yesterday, Mike's attending physician said that Mike was recovering very smoothly and there was a high chance that he would wake up.
Wang Cannon was so excited by this exciting news that he couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the Lakers' training center to play in the middle of the night.
Exercises are only secondary, and his main purpose is to calm the mind.
Having said that, good things have happened one after another lately.
Nigro has been with the Lakers for three weeks now.
The name of a defensive expert is not well deserved, and the first thing Nigro did after joining the team was to strengthen the defense.
Previously, Wang Cannon has always played the position of power forward in the Lakers, and in D'Antoni's view, a player like Wang Cannon is the most suitable for the position of the big forward in the bombardment, and he moves fast. Strong rebounding, all-round offense, and Gasol, who is also fast at the center position, plus Nash, the Lakers' fast-hitting whirlwind can definitely fascinate people!
However, D'Antoni still somewhat overestimated the tactical understanding of the Lakers players, and also overestimated Nash.
Nash is indeed strong. Definitely a super point guard at the Hall of Fame level, but the point guard is 40 years old this year, and after leaving the Suns' famous doctor, Nash's injuries have gradually increased.
Bombardment, a tactic that has to run at a high frequency on the field at all times, is difficult for Nash to support.
One of the first things Nigro did when he came to the Lakers was to change his starting lineup.
Zhang Yun returned to the small forward position, Gasol also returned to the power forward position he is good at, and as for the starting center, Negro appointed the blue-collar interior Jordan. Hill, this player is not outstanding in height on the inside. But the strength is very strong, the defense is active and the sense of card position is also very good, in terms of interior defensive ability, the Lakers are the strongest in addition to Zhang Yun.
In D'Antoni's system, Hill, an interior blue-collar who can't shoot, doesn't shine at all, but in Negro's hands, Hill has become an indispensable part of the Lakers' defense.
The Lakers' starting lineup became starting point guard Nash and scoring guard Ci Shiping. Small forward Wang Cannon, big forward Gasol. Center Hill. Except for the point guard, which is still a little weak, the defense at other positions has reached the level that Nigro expected.
After Nigro took charge and changed the team's lineup and tactics, although the Lakers did not become super strong all of a sudden, they were much stronger than during the D'Antoni era.
In the remaining three weeks of November, when Negro began coaching, the Lakers won seven of the 11 games. We lost 4 games, and although we lost a lot of games, the overall trend was still very good.
Wang Cannon's personal count also dropped for tactical reasons.
The average of 50+20+5 per game has slowly dropped to an average of 41 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists per game, while the number of blocks and steals of Wang Dacang has increased due to the improvement of defensive intensity.
The decline in the number does not mean that the contribution of the Wang cannon is low, in fact, it is Negro deliberately depressurizing the Wang cannon.
Unlike D'Antoni, Negro is very distressed about Wang Cannon. Even if Wang Cannon is in Niucha, he is always a person, and his uncontrolled use will greatly increase the likelihood of his injury.
The number of Wang cannons has decreased, but the number of others has risen differently.
The team's two stars, Gasol Nash, both of them were very average before, Gasol could only average about 13 points and 8 rebounds per game, and Nash was even worse, although under D'Antoni's system, Nash could only get about 8 points and 6 assists because of injuries.
Now, Gasol's tally has grown to 18 points and nine rebounds, while Nash's tally has grown to 11 points and seven assists.
Negro came to the Lakers at the right time, as the head coach who knows Wang Cannon best, he knows very well how to use Wang Cannon to maximize the effect of this nuclear bomb-level strategic weapon.
As long as this situation continues, the Lakers will have no problem making it to the playoffs, and Wang Cannon's goal will be able to be achieved.
"Stirling dog thief! Wait! I must let you know what regret is! ”
Grabbing a basketball, Wang Cannon gritted his teeth and jumped from the free throw line to dunk the basketball into the basket.
Just when Wang Cannon was sweating on the field, the door of the training hall was suddenly pushed open, and a tall black man walked in, he was stunned for a moment after seeing Wang Cannon on the field, and then said in surprise: "What a rare guest, I didn't expect you to come to the training hall so early." ”
Wang Dacang turned his head and glanced at it when he heard this, and he was also stunned.
"Kobe?"
He suddenly thought of a report he had seen about Kobe.
A reporter asked Kobe Bryant why he had achieved such brilliant achievements, and Kobe Bryant smiled slightly and asked the reporter a question.
"Do you know what it's like to be in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?"
The reporter shook his head, and then Bryant said, "I know what it's like to be in Los Angeles at four o'clock every day, with a starry spot, very few pedestrians, and it hasn't changed in more than a decade." ”
Wang Cannon rarely admires a person, but for Kobe, Wang Cannon has to admire, although he has always looked at Kobe Bryant is not very happy, but he knows that if he is himself, he will never be able to do Kobe Bryant for more than ten years, getting up at four o'clock in the morning to train every day.
"Ah, I can't sleep, so come over and sweat it." Wang Cannon said, and then he asked, "What about you, is it okay to come to train so early?" You're not injured yet, are you? ”
"I'm already doing acclimatization training." Kobe gently patted his leg and said, "As long as I go well, I will be able to play again in two weeks, and I will be back!" (To be continued......)
