Chapter 887: NBA Data Maniacs
It's been a pretty laid-back time for the Los Angeles Lakers lately, even as the team is poised to break the league's longest 34-game winning streak in the spotlight across the country.
But for now, this team doesn't feel the urgency to make history because of the schedule, in fact, the Lakers' opponents have been very strong in recent times, especially after beating the Nuggets at home, whether it is the 34th game against the Grizzlies or the previous games against the Spurs and Mavericks.
However, for this team, they don't care about these opponents now, if there are reporters who have been following this team at this time, they will definitely find that this team is still so peaceful in such a situation, and even marvel at the Chinese's adjustment to this team.
Of course, the recent schedule is leisurely, but this does not affect the daily training of Los Angeles Lakers players, the more such days, the Lakers' training is actually more rigorous, and this is also one of the most significant characteristics of Zhuang Fei's team, whether it is in the Wake Forest or the Timberwolves after, the Celtics are the same, of course, the current Lakers are no exception.
In fact, the day after the defeat of the Nuggets, the Lakers' training gym has been able to hear a sound that is almost shocking from the ground up until night.
"Kobe, shoot, you need to shoot, don't hesitate, how many times have I said it, at this time the ball is in your hands you just need to shoot"
In the training management of the Lakers, the Los Angeles Lakers are divided into two teams to play, but the two teams on the court at this time are different from the previous Lakers' contact games, and the lineup on the court at this time is a little different from the Lakers' main and bench lineups this season.
For example, the lineup of one of the teams on the court at this time is Kobe. Hardaway. Hill. Szzambiak and Jackson, while Paul and Webb are on the other side with a group of substitutes, and at this time it is obvious that Kobe Bryant's team has led Webb and Paul by more than 30 points on the scoreboard on the sidelines, and even the Lakers head coach on the sidelines, the Chinese seem to be a little dissatisfied with Kobe Bryant, constantly shouting to the court, which also makes Kobe Bryant on the court very helpless.
In fact, at this time, it was not only Kobe Bryant who was helpless. Kobe's teammates Hardaway or Hill were also helpless, and at this time they themselves felt that their head coach was too weird. Even they've never seen it before, and they've never thought about it.
At this time, Kobe Bryant, who was the party concerned, was dripping blood in his heart, and his hands were trembling, and he couldn't remember how many times he shot in this game, because there were too many to count.
He has never doubted that he is a player with a strong offensive desire, but in the past, whether it was the earliest Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris or the later head coach Phil Jackson suppressed his offensive desire.
Only now his new head coach Zhuang Fei has been thinking that his offensive desire is not enough, especially in this special tactical practice that the team only conducts once a week is his most painful day, because every day after the training he will feel like his arms are numb. There were so many shots, unimaginable amounts.
Once upon a time. He tried to count how many times he had taken a shot in this particular tactic drill, but he gave up on the fiftieth count, because by the time he had made fifty shots, he found that he had reached his limit, and the head coach on the sidelines was still shouting for him to shoot.
Many times he wondered if this was the manager he respected the most was joking with him? It's just that every time he sees the powerful attack power of this tactic, he shook his head helplessly in the end, such tactics are all jokes, so what kind of tactics in the league will be really serious, but at this time he is really too tired, and he really doesn't want to shoot anymore.
It's just that in the end, when he turned around and saw Zhuang Fei's vicious eyes, he finally chose to obey Zhuang Fei's orders.
If at this time, the head coach of the New York Knicks, Phil Jackson, knew that Kobe Bryant at this time was made by Zhuang Fei and didn't want to shoot, then the famous coach of the New York Knicks would definitely fall off his eyes.
"Coach, although the effect is still not up to the best situation, it is much better than last year's All-Star time" Although Zhuang Fei has been staring at Kobe Bryant's training game with the Lakers on the sidelines, Green on the side has been recording some data in his hands and analyzing some data.
"Yes, it's really much better than last year's All-Star, but it's not enough, Stephen, in the future, Kobe's training will increase the amount of shooting training, especially the ability to shoot continuously for a period of time and the ability to shoot in sports, as for the training requirements for him, I hope he can do it even when he makes the 100th shot in a game, his hand is not messed up."
After hearing his assistant's words, Zhuang Fei looked at Kobe Bryant, whose shooting posture had been completely deformed on the training ground, and said with some frowns, and at this time, Green was in a cold sweat behind his back, and he could still keep his hand shape unchanged after a hundred shots? That's too much to ask, isn't it? You must know that most players in the league are about the same as throwing more than 30 times in a game, and a person like Kobe Bryant who can throw more than 50 times and can support is almost the strongest, and now he has to double on the basis of these 50 times? Even a player with extremely talented endurance like Kobe Bryant can't do it.
However, after seeing Zhuang Fei's extremely determined eyes, Green also sighed and finally nodded, but he was going to suffer Kobe Bryant.
Of course, for Zhuang Fei, it doesn't matter if Kobe Bryant can still keep his hand shape the same when he makes the 100th shot in a game, the important thing is that the current Kobe is not the shooting machine he idealized, so 100 is just an imaginary number, and Zhuang Fei doesn't know what the ideal number is in his heart, but it is definitely not like this.
Zhuang Fei usually rarely comes to the training hall to meddle in the affairs of Green and Thibodu, but basically he will appear in the weekly 'torture Kobe Bryant' training game, and then he will leave soon after the end of this game, and then, the Lakers' training is back on track again, but even if Zhuang Fei leaves at this time, it is difficult for other Lakers players to get their training back on track immediately.
Of course, Zhuang Fei didn't want to leave any shadow on these Lakers players in training, everything he did was for the Lakers to win, and at this time, the Lakers were indeed winning all the time.
On January 5, 2005, the Lakers took on the Rockets on the road, and it was their 29th game of the season.
This season, the strength of the Rockets is still not strong, even if Miller was traded, Camby, who was traded to the league's block king, this inside data maniac pushed the Rockets' average number of blocks per game to the top three in the league, and also left the Rockets as the team that has lost the most points in the league so far, defensive data does not equal defensive quality, this kind of thing is known to many people, including the Rockets' head coach Tang Shuai.
It's just that in the current NBA, how can it be so simple to really find an interior barrier with strong defensive data and good defensive quality, so they can only reluctantly use Camby, and the price of using Camby is naturally that basically any team in the league has to be played thoroughly from the inside out.
You know, this team's outside defense is also terrible, and they expect this year's Camby to be like the Raptors' Kwame Brown, who single-handedly supports a team's defense, but it's clear that maybe Kwame Brown can't compare to Camby on the plane on the block, but in terms of defensive quality, Camby is far below the new league's best defensive player.
And in this home game with the Lakers, Rockets fans once again witnessed their team's almost complete scene from the inside out, and in the end they could only watch their team lose a 100-136 at home, and in this game, the data madman Camby not only had a poor defense, but even Josh Smith could beat him with his back, and in the end he didn't even have the number of blocks, and he was beaten by Paul in a circle, and he didn't have the style of the league's average of 4.1 blocks per game.
Of course, it was actually very surprising to see such a quality defense of Camby Zhuang Fei in this game, he rarely watched Camby's games before, even in his previous life, just knowing that he had won the best defensive player in the league, but how could it be possible to win the best defensive player in the league with such a quality of defense? But in the end, Zhuang Fei didn't think about it anymore, after all, every player will improve.
It's just that Zhuang Fei didn't want to, but after the game, he was counted down by his idol Tang Shuai for a long time, and Tang Shuai kept questioning whether Zhuang Fei deliberately found the loophole of Camby in this game, and then let Paul and Josh Smith play crazy air relays in various directions.
And this also makes Zhuang Fei very helpless, because he really didn't do it, you know, the three elders of the Lakers only played 20 minutes in this game and went straight to rest, Zhuang Fei didn't come to the death to fight the rocket.
The strength of the Rockets is very good, and after winning this game, the Los Angeles Lakers also pushed their winning streak to 29 consecutive wins. As long as the next game is beaten on their home court, the Lakers' winning streak will come to 30 games, which would make the Lakers only the third team in NBA history to win 30 games in a row.
Of course, for the Mavericks, this team is not comparable to the belly of a fish like the Rockets.
However, when Zhuang Fei returned to Los Angeles with the Lakers players, he received an update from the team's general manager, Kupchak.
Wade was still traded. (To be continued.) )
