After the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Seattle SuperSonics, Zhuang Fei was happy, not only because the team kept winning but also because they were in excellent form.

What's more important is that after this game, Scarlett is also on vacation, this eldest lady has rarely had time to accompany Zhuang Fei since school started on September 1, even if he is not present in games like the Lakers against the Grizzlies, let alone at home.

For students in the graduation season in the United States, this year is extremely painful, especially for non-genius students like Scarlett, but it is even more painful to study at one of the best film art universities in the world, Zhuang Fei did not have the opportunity to go to college in his previous life, and he does not know what the situation is in China.

But there is no doubt that even in Wake Forest, several of his disciples like Duncan and Carter are not like Scarlett now, and it is clear that Carter and Duncan are both that kind of academic geniuses.

But no matter what, this is a happy thing, although this kind of happy thing is only for more than a month, after all, Scarlett still has a semester, but even so, the two can still live a lot of shameless days in more than a month.

Of course, first of all, Zhuang Fei still needs to complete his own work. Especially recently about Zhuang Fei asking Thibodu to study the team's defensive system, and now the Lakers' assistant coach also has some eyebrows.

Recently, the Lakers have been very popular in the United States, and at this time, as long as the news of this team does not appear on TV or in the newspaper for a day, it is estimated that many people will be very unaccustomed to it, but it is strange. The more this time. The Lakers' current players are getting quieter and quieter. Even Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' leading guard who used to like to shoot in the media, is now silent, and it seems that the Lakers are completely silent.

Of course, for a place like Los Angeles, even if these players are silent, countless news will be produced, and Zhuang Fei is also very aware of this, but at this time, he has slowly become accustomed to the public opinion life of these metropolises, and he will not be as uncomfortable as when he first came to Los Angeles. And at this time, neither the Lakers players nor Zhuang Fei have the time to care about these things.

"Zhuang, how's it going. Not satisfied? ”

On January 19, 2005, the day after defeating the supersonic at home, the Lakers were still training according to Zhuang Fei's requirements as usual, and at this time, the Lakers' training hall was once again divided into two teams to fight, of course, although Zhuang Fei appeared this time, but the Lakers were not practicing the Terminator tactics that only Zhuang Fei could get when he appeared, the Terminator tactics were very powerful, and everyone could see the power of this tactic.

But this tactical side effect is also huge, such as the last game against the Grizzlies. The Lakers only played a 10-minute Terminator tactic, and Zhuang Fei's voice was almost hoarse the next day. And Kobe Bryant was dizzy and almost wanted to vomit when he got off the court, of course, the other Lakers players were not much better, because the Lakers' terminator tactics were almost full of firepower under the high-intensity defense of the Grizzlies.

Regardless of the speed of the movement, the speed of the passing and the mental concentration of the players, it is almost completely concentrated, and in this case it is necessary to maintain the accuracy of the top speed, whether it is passing or running, there can be no mistakes, such a tactic is simply torturous.

Just like Grizzlies head coach Carlisle said after the game, he feels that his players are estimated to tremble when they touch the basketball the next day, and the Lakers are actually not much worse, of course, this is also because the Grizzlies' defensive strength is too high, and the Lakers have to go all out, if the defensive intensity is less, this side effect is still not so big.

If the Terminator tactics run a little slower, the Lakers players will at least not need Zhuang Fei to remind him loudly, and Zhuang Fei will be much easier.

But even so, this is also a torturous thing, so Zhuang Fei will stipulate that even in the usual training, the Lakers play this at most once a week, and Zhuang Fei is really afraid that these Lakers players will not be able to stand it if they play too much.

It's not nonsense that this kind of thing that completely violates the rules of basketball can easily make players unable to play, and the news of the NCAA trying to study this tactic to end up making their players unable to play is not fake.

When the Lakers' players slowly get used to the passing and running needs of the Terminator tactics, it will be difficult for them to go to other teams and cooperate with other players, even with their teammates who do not play the Terminators, and it will be a real tragedy.

Therefore, although Zhuang Fei has always hoped that the Lakers can play the Terminator tactics, the players should not be assimilated by the special running needs and special passing needs of the Terminator tactics, that is, they do not want these players to have muscle memory for the Terminator tactics, which is an extremely difficult thing to operate.

However, at this time, Zhuang Fei can be regarded as having some experience, and he has also slightly grasped how to make the Lakers' players not only ensure the training quality of the Terminators' tactics, but also not let these players fall too deep.

"It's okay, it's a combination of pressing defense and zone defense, all pressing players have an area, in some areas you can just defend directly without pressing, and in some areas you have to press, it's a more energy-saving defensive system, but, Tom, it's not perfect"

Looking at the two teams on the court and the Xibodu with an expectant look on his side, Zhuang Fei also shook his head a little helplessly and said, and at this time, Xibodu, who got Zhuang Fei's answer, was also gloomy, and it was really difficult for him to play the defensive system in a team with no internal barrier.

And in history, there is no team without an interior barrier that can form a defensive system, so although Zhuang Fei is still a little disappointed, he will not blame his assistant, after all, his requirements are too harsh, and in fact, Thibodo is doing a very good job now, and the defensive method that can allow the Lakers to keep the whole court tight and save physical energy, although it is not a real defensive system, but it is also extremely good.

"Tom, let's leave it at that. I think we will still have a way to win the game in addition to defense," looking at the top of his assistant's increasingly bald head, Zhuang Fei also smiled mildly and said to Xibodu. It's just after Zhuang Fei finished speaking. Thibodu was gloomy again.

The defensive system and the offensive system are paired, in the world of basketball, both are very important, Zhuang Fei can create so many offensive systems with a lineup like the Lakers, and each one is more subtle than the other, and he has no way to make even a defensive system.

Although he is Zhuang Fei's assistant coach, he doesn't think that he will lose to anyone in his own job, if his defense is not worthy of Zhuang Fei's attack. So in his opinion, this is imperfect, even Zhuang Fei doesn't ask his team to be truly perfect at all.

This is an extremely serious person, otherwise he would not have become a confidant with Van Gundy Jr., just looking at his own assistant coach, Zhuang Fei was also a little helpless. In the end, it was up to him to go.

Of course, although the so-called defensive system that Xibodu has now made in this training match is not satisfactory to Zhuang Fei and himself, there is no doubt that the level of this training game itself is still extremely high, although the team led by Kobe Bryant still failed to beat the three elders.

But it's clear that the Lakers' dominant player is getting more and more confident, which is not to say that the Lakers player wasn't confident before. He has indeed always been confident, even blindly confident in his own abilities. It's just that in the same way, he is also skeptical, and when he is confident in his own ability, he doubts his own ability.

This is a very contradictory and simple player, when he wants to replace O'Neal, he believes that he can replace O'Neal, and when he really gets the opportunity to replace O'Neal, he will doubt that he is not doing as well as O'Neal, and finally he can't get out of a corner, and finally he is becoming more and more stubborn, and such a player can actually be seen at a glance.

Especially the temperament on his body, when Zhuang Fei came to the Lakers, this Mr. Kobe did not have such a temperament, this kind of temperament Zhuang Fei has only seen in Jordan, Carter and Duncan. Maybe for him now, he is really moving closer to Jordan and them, and his stubbornness may hardly be an obstacle for him.

It's just that for such a Kobe, Zhuang Fei is still not very satisfied, and the reason for his dissatisfaction is naturally his shooting.

"Coach, it's really not that I'm too demanding, it's not that Kobe doesn't train hard, it's just that it's really difficult for him to do what you ask for even if he takes 100 shots a game without deformation"

After the end of this training game, Zhuang Fei also let the Lakers players rest, but at this time, the team's other assistant coach Green was standing beside Zhuang Fei with a bitter face, and his teacher came to the team's training hall recently not to train the Lakers players' terminator tactics or to train him, which also made the league's first assistant coach very helpless.

He really felt that it was difficult for his teacher's requirements, how could an ordinary player shoot 100 times without deformation when someone was defending in a game? It's almost impossible to happen, even Jordan can't do it, and Szczebiak, the team's best at this aspect, can only do 15 consecutive three-pointers under Bobby Simmons' defense without deformation, of course, this is continuous, and it is not the same as the intermittent game of a game.

"Although I can't do it 100 times, it won't be crooked when Kobe Bryant was defended by Hardaway more than 20 times in this game, right?" Zhuang Fei also raised his eyebrows and glared at his apprentice, and Green, who originally wanted to explain something, was also immediately frightened and hurriedly swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Of course, Zhuang Fei naturally doesn't really blame Green or Kobe for being lazy, in fact, this is a difficult thing to do, Kobe's shooting ability of 100 is not something he worked very hard to rise up on his own, so his ability to improve lacks steps, although in terms of shooting ability, he is already the best in the league.

But in terms of maintaining the stability of shooting, he is a little worse than Szzebiak, who has a shooting ability of only 99, and the perfect shooting ability is indeed a shooting ability of 100, but the shooting ability of 100 does not mean a perfect shooting ability, for Zhuang Fei, he does not want the first 'S' level player under his command to be an imperfect 'S' level player.

"Okay, no matter what method you use, I need to see the results" After saying this sentence fiercely, after glaring at Green fiercely, Zhuang Fei also turned around and left the Lakers' training hall, and at this time Green could only be helpless, he really didn't have anything to do now. But when he saw the same sad Xibodu on the side, the bald head on his head was getting brighter and brighter. He also sighed in his heart.

Zhuang Fei is not an absolute perfectionist. He just has high requirements for this Laker, even if Green really has no choice, he will not say what will happen to his apprentice, in fact, he is very satisfied with the current situation of the Lakers, whether it is the team's results, the team's players or his two assistants or Lakers fans and Los Angeles media.

It's just that satisfaction is satisfaction, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, the Lakers can do better. And he is also confident that the Lakers can do better

Recently, the whole world has been talking about the Lakers and Zhuang Fei's team, and even many people are saying that this year's NBA has become the NBA of the Lakers from nearly half of the current progress, and under the crazy performance of this team, any team this year is extremely bleak, and even any team this year has no way to see the back of the Lakers. After all, we're almost halfway through this year's season, and the Lakers still haven't lost.

Of course, for the Lakers' current influence, any media touting or other people's touting can be regarded as nothing. Maybe it's all false except for the exception of this team's incredibly high ratings, but except for the ratings. But there is another thing that is not false, and that is the voting results of this year's NBA All-Star Game.

On January 19th, the results of the NBA second round of All-Star voting also came out, and at this time, to everyone's amazement, the Lakers, who occupied four spots in the first phase of the Western Conference starting five, still occupied four spots after the end of the second period, and the advantage was much greater than the first round, it is obvious that the Lakers' recent crazy performance has once again added points to these Lakers players.

In this year's All-Star vote, the East is actually extremely smooth, except for the center position O'Neal and Yao Ming can compete for each other, there is almost no suspense in other positions, and all the real suspense is in the West.

For the time being, the Lakers account for four of the five starters, which is the same as the results of the first round of voting, and the gap between the Lakers players and other players has also widened somewhat, but it is clear that even if it has opened some, the competition is still fierce.

On the guard line, Kobe Bryant took the lead and almost locked in an All-Star starter, after all, he is now the king of votes in the West, while Hardaway is slightly worse, and the gap with Arenas is only 30,000 votes, such a gap is basically not a gap, as long as Arenas scores 50 points in a few consecutive games, it is estimated that there will be no such gap.

It's just that Hardaway's popularity foundation in the United States is indeed very solid, although his performance is one of the less outstanding among the Lakers' three elders, compared to Webb's average triple-double per game and Hill's average of 20+8 per game, his average points per game have not yet reached 20, so he has not opened the gap between Arenas.

In the forward position, with the current average of triple-doubles per game, Weber has already taken the lead, and like Kobe, he has almost locked the position of All-Star starter, and even locked the big picture of the MVP battle between him and Kobe this season, while Hill on the other side is a little inseparable from Garnett.

Hill is the former popularity king of the NBA, the Lakers' forward did not say anything about popularity, and Garnett is also the popularity king of the NBA forward position, in recent years, he and Duncan have almost suppressed other forward players in the All-Star starter without a chance to stand out, but this time, the Mesozoic generation of the forward popularity king seems to have some irresistible meaning to Hill, and the gap between the two is much worse than when the first voting results were announced.

It's just a little surprising that in the position of the center, Wang Zhizhi and Duncan, who were originally indistinguishable, also had a winner, and the voting results showed that Duncan was already 150,000 votes ahead of Wang Zhizhi, obviously, now many other places have increased votes, which is not to say that Wang Zhizhi is not good enough, as the center recognized by the league as the top few centers, his strength has been recognized.

It's just that there is indeed a gap compared to Duncan, and this does not mean that all the votes of Chinese players come from China, for example, Yao Ming in the East, with his strength in the finals MVP, even in the face of the league's first center, O'Neal, one of the four major centers that year, is still one step ahead of O'Neal in the case of the increase in the league's votes.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei, it is indeed a very good thing for a player that the Lakers players are selected as All-Stars, but he is not very excited, and he is not too surprised when he looks at the results of the All-Star voting in his hand, anyway, it is very calm, this is completely different from the expression of the Lakers general manager Kupchak standing in front of him, at this time the Lakers' general manager's face is almost flushed, and it is obvious that he has thought of the scene where the Lakers' four starters appeared on the All-Star stage.

At this time, Zhuang Fei also threw aside this newspaper about all-stars, and picked up another newspaper in his hand, and the front page of the newspaper read.

"Minnesota Timberwolves Must Beat Coach Z"

And the source of this newspaper is actually the local Minnesota media. (To be continued.) )
