Chapter 158: "Good News" Spreads Frequently, Glorious Tradition! (The 11,000-word chapter is another beast today)
Before chasing his dream, in mid-August, Kobe Bryant still carried a fruit basket to find Wang Shuo.
This is the best way to get closer to Wang Shuo in the past two years when he was training with the Chinese men's basketball team.
Obviously, in this life, Yao Ming has also learned badly.
On this day, after Kobe Bryant told himself why he brought a fruit basket to visit him, Wang Shuo smiled: "Kobe, Yao Na is obviously joking with you, and the next time I see him, I must criticize him." ”
Then, after asking Olsen to wash and cut the fruit that Kobe Bryant brought, Wang Shuo looked at Kobe with a curious expression and said, "Say, why are you coming to me today." ”
In the living room, Bryant said, "Wang, I'm not questioning you...... But can I change the goals you set for me in the new season? ”
Wang Shuo spread his hands and said, "What goal do you want to change?" ”
Kobe Bryant said with a serious face: "I don't think it's realistic for you to ask me to average 40 points per game in the new season."
Or, in my opinion, it hurts the unity of the team and the motivation of the guys to play on the field. ”
Hearing this, looking at the black mamba in front of him, Wang Shuo suddenly had a feeling that he had been pierced by someone.
Is this really Kobe?
How could he have such a "cancerous" idea?
"I'll be honest, I didn't understand why you would be sure that this Lakers team has the ability to compete for a championship.
But these days, through their training with Demar......
As you said, I think the Lakers in the new season are indeed a team full of talent. Kobe Bryant said to Wang Shuo with a solemn expression.
This summer, at the "God of Coaching Training Camp" in Los Angeles, Bryant has been watching DeRozan, Gallinari and others train.
At this time, Kobe Bryant is very good at teaching people to play.
But if you want to teach people to play, then Kobe Bryant must have a pair of discerning eyes that are good at reading people.
In fact, after taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of "nanny", I took a "baby" for a period of time this summer......
Kobe Bryant discovered that although DeRozan is slow to move when defending, when attacking, this young player who has a certain level of technical completion is a promising talent.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, fans who are familiar with DeRozan will call him "old cold legs".
Because despite his good run-up and bounce, the young Azan's ability to move four points in the three-second zone and the ability to sprint in three-quarters is really not ideal.
This was a key reason why he couldn't get any closer to the 2009 draft.
In the physical test, DeRozan's four-point movement ability in the three-second zone is only 11.88 seconds, which is even 1.2 seconds slower than Sun Yue.
His 3/4 sprint time was 3.31 seconds, which ranked 10th from the bottom of the class of '09.
In addition, compared to the running and jumping ability of nearly 100 cm, Azan's ability to jump on the spot is also very average.
During the physical test, his in-situ jumping performance was the same as Sun Yue's.
Some people may want to say that Sun Yue's jumping performance on the spot is actually not bad among his peers.
But is there a possibility that Sun Yue's shoeed height is nearly 6 cm taller than DeRozan's shoeed height?
You must know that Sun Yue, who is close to 206 cm tall after wearing shoes, and DeRozan, who is close to 200 cm tall after wearing shoes, even if their in-situ jumping results are the same, they are not the same concept.
DeRozan's "old legs" decided that if he wanted to make up for his shortcomings on the defensive end, he would have to spend a lot of time studying how he could get in position on the court and how he could use his experience to thwart opposing players' offense.
Wang Shuo remembers that DeRozan did a good job in this regard, and later his defense basically reached above the level.
In this life, with Kobe's beating, Wang Shuo believes that DeRozan's defense will only evolve faster.
However, if it's just such an Azan, it will definitely not impress Kobe.
These days, when going one-on-one with DeRozan, what really surprised Kobe was that DeRozan already had a certain rudimentary offensive routine after two years of polishing in college.
In addition, DeRozan's core strength and flexibility are also stronger than the average rookie, which determines that he will be faster than his peers when practicing the advanced technique of turning and leaning back.
To quote Grover's evaluation of Jordan, Kobe, and DeRozan, it is:
If Kobe Bryant is the Jordan who was slashed with a model and some dynamic talent, then DeRozan is the Kobe who was slashed with a three-point and dynamic talent.
In Wang Shuo's memory, DeRozan's offensive skills in the second year of his career were already very rich, and if he didn't have the technical foundation honed in college, how could he be so silky when he hit opponents on the court?
You know, Ajan's back training for three years still looks very clumsy.
Of course, the high-level technique of turning over and leaning back, with the higher the level of the competition, the more difficult it is to practice it accurately, and the more talented it is.
But compared to physical talent, how can technical talent be so intuitive?
However, Kobe Bryant only saw that DeRozan's future was promising through only a period of observation.
No doubt.
From another point of view, Kobe Bryant is indeed stronger than his idol Jordan in terms of knowing people.
Especially Jordan after retiring.
For example, when he was one-on-one with Gallinari, although the Italian cannon would give him an elbow if he didn't agree with him, Kobe Bryant looked at it and saw from Gallinari a ruthlessness that was not inferior to himself.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Gallinari, who had a good looks, was often used to scare those stars who habitually lost their chains due to injuries at critical moments.
Because, Gallinari, who has experienced two cruciate ligament tears in the early part of his career and has played countless closed battles throughout his career, has never been crushed by injury.
Even after every time he stands up, you will find ......
This guy seems to be improving again.
Saiyan has a physique, it's true.
Gallinari's straight-line breakaway was lethal in Bryant's opinion.
After several one-on-one battles with Gallinari, the Italian cannon has completely upended Bryant's perception of such a tall shooter.
In Kobe's eyes, which TM is an Italian cannon?
This is clearly an Italian combat cannon!
In addition, Bryant, who spent a lot of time in Italy as a child, also chatted with Gallinari.
Therefore, the longer he has helped Wang Shuo "bring the baby" recently, the more Kobe Bryant feels that this Lakers team is full of infinite possibilities in the new season.
In fact, after several years of precipitation, Kobe Bryant is no longer the "black mamba" who only wanted to cut off the passing button when he was young.
Through recent observations, Kobe Bryant, who found that the Lakers have gathered a large number of young talents, knows very well that only by returning the account of "Pennsylvania Magic" can he accelerate the growth of these young people in the new season.
"I've won the scoring title three times, I've scored 81 points in a single game, and to be honest, Wang, I don't want to be the Michael Jordan of '02/03......
What I want more is to play a dynasty that belongs to me and this Lakers! Staring intently at Wang Shuo, Kobe Bryant said.
After muttering for a while, Wang Shuo said to Kobe: "Kobe, you have to think about it, I am a person who has always said the same.
Therefore, what I am most disgusted by is that my teammates and I are backsliding. ”
Kobe nodded and said, "When I can't control myself, you can replace me at any time." ”
Wang Shuo took the opportunity to complain: "Why did you replace you?
Replace you, how can our interior players brush up rebounding stats? ”
Bryant: "......"
After a pause, Wang Shuo explained to Kobe that he was just joking, and said, "But I have to talk to you first."
Even though I allow you to share the ball with your teammates on the court for the sake of cancer, you have to be resolute when the team needs you, because that's team basketball. ”
Bryant: "......"
At this moment, Wang Shuo's understanding of team basketball definitely refreshed Kobe's three views.
But in Wang Shuo's eyes, it's really not a bad thing for stars to score more points when they feel hot.
Because a player like Kobe Bryant, once he hits a high critical hit on the court, the opponent will definitely wrap him up.
And in this way, his teammates can only be emptied?
……
In late August, the Lakers made another win in the free agent market.
After "seducing" Ronnie Price, who is 188 cm tall and weighs 85 kilograms, from Utah with a two-year, $4 million contract, the Lakers' 15-man roster for the new season has been officially confirmed.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Price averaged only 3.7 points per game in his career and only 1.8 assists per game in his career.
But this is the same player who not only played in the NBA for 12 seasons in Wang Shuo's memory, but also received almost unanimous praise from his teammates wherever he went.
Price has limited ability, but he has an excellent work ethic and can be trusted on the defensive end.
Wang Shuo took a fancy to Price's professional attitude and the role he can serve as a role model for young players in the dressing room.
That is, after learning that the Lakers would rather choose Price than themselves......
Fisher was furious on the spot!
Fisher felt that Wang Shuo had no eyes at all!
But he didn't dare to say so in front of reporters.
Because although he is the president of the NBA's players' union, his status in the rivers and lakes cannot be compared with Wang Shuo.
As a result, Fisher, who could only be incompetent and furious, even contacted the Clippers and was ready to accept the four-year, $12 million contract that the Clippers had offered him.
However......
Just when Fisher thought he could make the Lakers, who ignored him today, pay a heavy price by hugging Ajan's thigh......
The Clippers uniform team told Fisher helplessly:
We don't have enough salary space and extra middle-class exceptions to sign you.
Plus, James, who you've got in mind, is taking his new love, Devin Harris, on a banana boat ride with his brothers.
This summer, Mavericks owner Cuban made a major decision miscalculation.
That's ......
After winning the championship last season, Cuban left Marion and Kidd for the Mavericks, but gave up the younger Harris.
Admittedly, just looking at fame, Kidd is indeed very loud.
But he will be 37 years old next year, how can He De still get an annual salary of about 10 million US dollars?
And this summer, Harris's asking price is not high.
The Clippers even used their full mid-range exception to get the explosive "blast stream" master.
The NBA's full mid-range exception for the 09/10 season was $5.854 million.
That said, as long as the Mavericks are willing to use their middle-class exception for Harris, Harris will return to Dallas.
So the question is, who is the Maverick's middle-class special this year?
Answer: "A mountain in Puerto Rico".
No, after the dream of the 08/09 season came true, even Carlisle couldn't convince Cuban.
Although it is different from the operation of letting Chandler go in Wang Shuo's memory, Cuban chose to leave the Mavericks with a meritorious player who brought the team the first championship in team history......
But giving up Harris's Mavericks is undoubtedly equivalent to losing a cost-effective opportunity to exchange blood.
Harris did not perform well with the Nets last season, and Wang Shuo knew very well that it was only because he had irreconcilable conflicts with Maddie and was unwilling to play for the Nets again.
Oh yes, and since Maddie is mentioned, we have to mention the scoring guard rankings that ESPN did before the start of the new season.
In September, when Kobe, who had just turned on his 31-year-old last month, turned on the TV excitedly, Wang Shuo learned from Vanessa that afternoon that she was about to buy a new TV.
As the famous "Kohei", ESPN only ranked Kobe Bryant fifth in this ranking of scoring guards, and the players ahead of him were Wade, Carter, Roy, and Maddy......
Yes, Kobe admitted that he didn't play well last season.
But why can Carter and Maddie be ahead of him?
The former, in terms of role last season, was the fourth leader of the Celtics behind Horford.
As for the latter, he only averaged 21.4 points per game for the Nets last season, and if it weren't for Jefferson's explosive power, he would definitely lead the Nets to the bottom of the East.
If you don't understand, ask him, why is Kobe Bryant ranked after Carter and Maddie?
In Kobe's opinion, Wade was ahead of him, and he recognized it.
Because of this life, Wade has a well-deserved boss champion, and his personal ability has been recognized by Kobe Bryant early on.
And Roy lined up in front of him, and Kobe Bryant also admitted it.
Because when playing against the Kings last season, Roy's non-deceleration change of direction also greatly shocked Kobe.
Can......
Carter and Maddie,2K games have been released to 2K10,Can't ESPN go to the game to see?,What is the game rating of these two guys?
On this day, Wang Shuo did not choose to comfort Kobe Bryant after learning the news that he was angry.
Because in Wang Shuo's opinion, it was Vanessa's business.
In early September, Wang Shuo took the time to inspect Curry's special training this summer.
In order to avoid overgaining muscle that could affect Curry's feel, Grover has only stepped up Curry's core strength training this summer.
Wang Shuo plans to wait for a future shutdown season before letting Curry hang under Grover's coaching.
Unlike Kobe Bryant, who needs to lose weight, Curry's ability to hold the ball and shoot the ball determines that he must have certain muscles to maximize his role on the court and break through the opponent's brainless blockade of him.
In Wang Shuo's memory, after the 14/15 season, Curry has realized the importance of gaining muscle.
However, if you gain muscle too quickly in a short period of time, it will have a great impact on the shooting stability of basketball players.
Coupled with the addition of Durant in the future, Curry's offensive pressure on the court has been greatly reduced, so Curry's muscle building plan will not be completed until the 21/22 season.
In addition, in this life, under the guidance of Grover, Curry, who has changed the way he breaks through, has a high probability of avoiding the ankle injury that will affect him for the rest of his life.
This is where the top strength and conditioning trainers come into play.
In addition to coaching players to maximize their physical potential, they can also extend the career life of professional players in a reasonable and scientific way.
For example, this summer, Grover advised Yao Ming to keep his weight back to 131 kilograms for the next two seasons.
The reasons are......
In Grover's view, with the change of NBA game version, Xiao Yao no longer needs to maintain a weight of 134 kilograms for a long time.
It's just that......
This summer, when he learned that Yao Ming was going to return to China to participate in the Asian Championships, Grover couldn't bear it and reprimanded: "Your country's basketball association is crazy, right? Asian Championships This kind of game still lets Yao play? ”
Hearing this, Wang Shuo didn't make a move.
Because there are no injuries in this life, and the Chinese men's basketball team won the fourth place in the Olympic Games last year, in addition to the call-up of the Basketball Association, Xiaoyao's own willingness to play for the country is also very strong.
And although the vast majority of Chinese fans have called on the basketball association online not to recruit Yao Ming to play in the Asian Championships......
But you know, every time this kind of continental competition, it's never just those basketball lovers who watch the game.
Of course, domestic basketball fans know what kind of physical burden the long-term national team competition will bring to Yao Ming.
Can...... Those who are not even cloud fans, and use "moral kidnapping" at every turn to demand that Yao Ming must play for the country, until Wang Shuo crossed, there were still a lot of them.
For Chinese basketball, the good news is that with Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi all playing, there will be no more tragedies in Tianjin in 2009.
But for Yao Ming himself, this Asian Championship will undoubtedly increase his injury risk in the future.
Wang Shuo will not interfere with Yao Ming's own decision.
However, in this life, he also hoped that Yao Ming could play for a few more years, but he decided to wait for this Asian Championship to let Grover officially put Yao Ming's weight loss plan on the agenda.
A weight of 3 kg doesn't seem like much.
But at the critical moment, 3 kilograms of weight is enough to crush Yao Ming.
If he wants to have a longer career in the future, Xiao Yao is destined to sacrifice some of his hard solution efficiency in exchange for a more flexible body.
On September 20, the Lakers officially assembled.
On the first day of the rally, Wang Shuo checked his current personal panel and team panel as usual:
Charisma: 20+.
Management level: 14 (6+).
Training level: 9 (11+).
Tactical Theory Level: 14 (6+).
Basketball Reputation: 90 (10).
Team stability: 0.
Team Training: 54.
Team morale: 70.
The Lakers, who finished last season in the West, currently have a team morale of 70, and in Wang Shuo's view, at least 99.99% of this is due to him.
Although Wang Shuo has always been modest, he still has this self-knowledge.
However, if you want to convert the current morale of the Lakers into combat effectiveness, past experience tells Wang Shuo that he still has to lead the Lakers to a wave of consecutive wins as soon as possible after the start of the new season.
On the first day of the assembly, Xiao Jia's figure made Wang Shuo feel a little surprised.
After a summer of weight loss, Xiao Jia's weight has now been successfully controlled at 121 kilograms.
In addition, his three-point shooting at the top of the arc is also quite accurate, and on the first day of joint practice, when he practiced his three-point shooting alone, Xiaojia hit 35 three-pointers in a row at the top of the arc.
It's not hard for a professional player to score dozens of such uncontested threes in a row.
For example, Curry, who was aroused by Xiao Jia's desire to win, then performed for everyone in his shooting drill, and scored 105 three-pointers in a row.
Originally, Kobe, who was also aroused by the desire to win, also wanted to try three points with Curry and Gabi Jr.
But after warming up, Bryant suddenly gave up on this idea.
This is not the instigation of Kobe, who has always refused to admit defeat.
It's just that he is no longer the stunned young man who can drag a group of Lakers pitchers to accompany him from morning to night in order to practice three-point shooting.
"Stephen, we just have time now, let's have a one-on-one meeting." Looking at Curry, who was being worshiped by everyone, "Black Mamba" said to Curry after spitting out the letter obscenely.
On the side, seeing this, Wang Shuo hurriedly used the excuse of "smoking addiction" and went out to smoke cigars.
Because he really couldn't bear to watch the next one-on-one.
No......
In terms of Kobe's ability at this time, where is he bullying Curry in this one-on-one?
This is clearly a tragic beating!
Curry was beaten and cried by Kobe Bryant, and the matter is not on the table for the time being.
On the first day of joint practice, in the Lakers' subsequent half-court five-on-five drill, O'Neal was also completely convinced.
Because despite the limited time, neither Xiao Jia nor Xiao Jordan can prevent him.
But as the training lasted for a long time, O'Neill found out......
One of these two brothers is a flexible dead fat paper that can shoot three-pointers.
One is the only Ultimate Runner on this Lakers team who has been approved by Wang Shuo to eat snacks at any time period.
Wang Shuo allowed Jordan Jr. to snack for a simple reason, that is, he had to make Jordan Jr. never forget how delicious the fried chicken and burgers were.
It doesn't matter if little Jordan's figure will be out of shape in a short period of time.
As long as he doesn't fall for that damn "vegetarianism", Wang Shuo doesn't mind if he's a little fatter.
As for the privilege that Wang Shuo gave to Little Jordan, the other players felt that it didn't matter......
It's Xiao Jia and O'Neal, who always use that jealous eye to look at Little Jordan, who can eat meat and drink fat house happy water after training breaks.
Why?
Why can he snack?
Don't......
Is he also Wang Shuo's illegitimate son?
So in this way, before even a day had passed, Xiao Jia and O'Neal inexplicably formed the "Anti-Jordan Jr. Alliance".
As for Ellis, the hardcore Komi, Wang Shuo's difficulty in subduing him was far easier than he imagined.
How so......
Ellis's brain is a little tricky, but that doesn't mean he's really a fool.
Although Ellis usually speaks like crazy, he even said in Wang Shuo's memory that "Kobe Bryant is first, I am second".
But in the face of the real madman Wang Shuo, where is Ellis?
"Monta, I really like your breakthrough on the field, and I will also design a lot of small and big tactics for you in the new season.
But I want you to make an extra pass when you're caught in the trap on the pitch. Wang Shuo patted Ellis on the shoulder and said.
Ellis nodded, and said with a well-behaved face, "I will, sir." ”
On the first day of joint practice, Wang Shuo was very satisfied with the efforts of most Lakers players in the past summer.
Jordan Jr., who shot only 38.5% of his free throw shooting percentage in his rookie season, was even more accurate than O'Neal who used the "urinal" posture when he practiced free throws.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Jordan Jr. had been tormented by free throws in the early part of his career, and it wasn't until he joined the Mavericks that the Mavericks' shooting trainer found out......
This kid is O'Neal's kind of "free throw loss", the reason why this kid's free throws can't work is obviously because the shooting coach of the Clippers is a bastard who doesn't do anything!
In the 18/19 season, under the guidance of the Mavericks' shooting coach, Jordan Jr.'s free throw shooting percentage quickly increased to 68%.
And after switching to the Nets in the 19/20 season, he also maintained this free throw percentage.
In fact, there have always been a lot of coaches who don't work in the NBA.
Especially those teams that are at the bottom all the year round, they have raised a bunch of bastard coaches who are not good at ability and have a mentality that is worse than the current situation of the team.
However, on the first day of joint practice, Wang Shuo gained more than just "good news".
There is also "bad news".
For example, in four rounds of 5-on-5 drills, Danny Green made only one of 14 three-point shots.
The North Carolina captain, who played four years in college, was an eye-opener for the Lakers' coaching staff.
Defense, just be squeezed by someone.
Attack, nothing but iron.
For the first time in his life, Mike Malone questioned Wang Shuo's vision and said, "He's sure...... Can he really be a top wing 3D as you say? ”
To be honest, if it weren't for the "God's perspective", Wang Shuo also felt that this Green and the Green in his memory were not the same person.
But after thinking about it in his mind, Wang Shuo thinks that putting aside the "God's perspective", Green didn't show his strengths on the first day of joint practice.
For example, the reason why he was squeezed by others when defending, in Wang Shuo's view, is related to the defensive awareness he developed when he played in North Carolina to help his teammates defend at all times.
But with the increase in training level, when Green's opponents are no longer the opponents in college who he can defend with two minds, this kind of defensive awareness will make Green's one-on-one defensive ability in the game seem very urgent.
The same goes for his frequent three-pointers on the court.
It's not that Green can't run out of opportunities, or can't understand the tactical arrangement that Wang Shuo explained to him.
It's just that after the game level has been improved, he still needs time to get used to the quick catch-and-shoot after the confrontation.
And......
The reason why Green's shortcomings were so prominent on this day was also related to the fact that Thorton, who was further behind him, performed very well in training.
But the ability to adapt is destined to be different.
In this life, with continuous learning and progress, Wang Shuo believes in his judgment.
Even if there is no "God's perspective", just based on Green's defensive awareness and tactical literacy on the first day of joint practice, Wang Shuo dares to be sure that his future will be promising.
On the 25th, the Lakers officially held a media open day before the start of the new season at the Staples Center.
The core makeup photos of the Lakers for the new season were taken by Kobe Bryant and Curry.
Although Ellis is the Lakers' starting point guard in the new season, Ellis does not dare to be dissatisfied with Wang Shuo's arrangement.
The reason why Wang Shuo did not arrange for others to take core makeup photos is very simple, because in the new season, helping Kobe Bryant get the regular season MVP is also one of his main tasks.
At present, the vast majority of people think that the only players who can play a little bit in this Lakers team are Kobe Bryant and Curry, so there is no need for Wang Shuo to remind people that this Lakers team is also a super team.
In fact, Wang Shuo's plan to arrange Curry as the sixth man in the new season also has this consideration.
That is to create the illusion to the outside world as much as possible that this Lakers is a "single-core" team led by Kobe.
None of the players on the Lakers have any opinion on this.
Because unlike back then, when he still needed to rely on Danzi's prestige to suppress the locker room, Wang Shuo at this moment ......
Unless there is any player in the Lakers team who really can't think of it, let alone question Wang Shuo, even if you talk back, you have to think about whether you are good enough.
During the top makeup shoot, Bryant and Curry were back to back, and the scene was extremely harmonious.
As a result, O'Neill, who saw this scene, immediately shed tears of indisputability.
At this moment, O'Neill did not "cry" because he felt sad for himself.
He just felt......
At this moment, there is a bit of ......
Things are people, not everything.
In the interview session, Curry was also the most asked by reporters on this Lakers team except for Kobe.
This has something to do with the fact that "Hook" has invested heavily in Curry in this life.
"Hook" contacted a group of reporters who have always maintained a close cooperative relationship with them early in the morning, ready to follow Wang Shuo's pace and work together to bring out a supernova for the NBA that can make ordinary people feel more immersed.
On physical measurements, Curry is 188 cm tall barefoot, 191 cm tall with shoes, and has an arm span of about 191.8 cm.
Although Curry's bouncing and run-up jumps were over 80 centimeters and 90 centimeters, respectively......
But in terms of Curry's static talent, he is destined to become "Los Angeles LaVine" in his life.
In addition, Curry's four-point movement speed in the three-second zone is only 11.07 seconds, and the three-quarter sprint speed is only 3.28 seconds.
In short, judging from Curry's physical data, even if he is far from being an ordinary person......
But in the NBA, a league full of supermen, Curry's relatively "crotch-pulling" physical fitness determines that he can gain more favor from ordinary fans than other stars.
For example, Iverson, who was briefly pushed to the throne of the first person in active service by Wang Shuo before.
How hot was Iverson in 03/04?
To put it simply, there are "all kinds of Iverson" not only in China, but also all over the United States.
Basketball fans in China and the United States were scrambling to emulate Iverson's breakthrough and his shooting, as if they could connect with Iverson in this way.
In Amy's eyes, it doesn't matter if these techniques are not practical or difficult to learn.
Because basketball lovers are not professional players, handsome is over, whether it is practical or not?
In Wang Shuo's previous life, when Curry was the hottest, his "schoolboy shooting" was all the rage.
Because in addition to being relatively "close to the people" in terms of physical talent, Curry's shooting moves are not difficult to learn in the eyes of most people.
It wasn't until the future, when Curry's shooting action was constantly dismantled and studied, that people found out......
Curry-style shooting has long become Curry's own label.
Without Curry's talent, even if you can master the essentials of technical movement, you will only find Curry's shooting posture awkward.
However, that doesn't stop Curry from becoming the one most people fantasize about, playing in the NBA.
At the media open day, after Curry and Kobe Bryant were interviewed one after another, the media immediately surrounded Wang Shuo.
The first question reporters asked was how Wang Shuo planned to use Kobe Bryant in the new season.
In response, Wang Shuo smiled: "I will let him pass the ball like 'Magic', let him score like Michael Jordan, and let him defend like Scottie Pippen, and let him play with the opposing player in the low post like Hakeem Olajuwon." ”
In the new season, since Kobe Bryant does not plan to average 40 points per game, nor does he plan to go into the waters, Wang Shuo's use of him will not be limited to letting him finish on the court.
Wang Shuo believes that it won't be long before people will be surprised by Kobe's performance in the new season.
Then, reporters asked Wang Shuo how Stephen Curry, who has attracted the attention of American fans, will play in his rookie season.
Wang Shuo said: "In the new season, Stephen still has a lot to learn from Kobe.
But I believe that one day, he will be the best defender in the league. ”
At this moment, Wang Shuo was useless.
Because before he crossed over, Curry was indeed the best guard in the NBA at the time.
Curry's contemporaries are either Lillard, who has been suppressed by him for the entire career, or Irving, who has made himself a "great immortal".
Whether it's team honors or personal honors, even if you add Wang Shuo who admires me and Harden, they can't compete with Curry.
As for Wang Shuo's answer, compared to the Kumi group that is still growing at the moment, "Hook" is obviously the biggest winner.
Because of Wang Shuo's affirmation, their $120 million is worth it!
After the media day, the NBA preseason officially kicked off in early October.
Wang Shuo divided his playing time evenly in the preseason with every player on the Lakers' roster.
As a result, everyone lived up to expectations and successfully led the Lakers to a 2-5 record in the preseason.
On the Internet, seeing this, some fans who don't have a long memory began to ridicule the Lakers and Wang Shuo, the "God of Coaches".
So......
Who said nothing more than three?
Counting the Lakers, this is the fourth NBA team coached by Wang Shuo, why do you think that someone can't think about it like this, and they have to put their faces up and let Wang Shuo slap him?
You see, in the new season's team power rankings, experts have smartly ranked the Lakers in 11th place.
Don't ask, even if this team is a Bobcat, experts don't believe that Wang Shuo can't bring it to the playoffs!
In the preseason, Curry, who was previously called by Wang Shuo as the best guard in the NBA in the future, performed mediocre.
In the five preseason games he played for the Lakers, Curry averaged just 11.4 points per game, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were less than 40%.
Unlike those who dare not question the Lakers and Wang Shuo's coaching ability, there are still many fans on the Internet who dare to question whether Curry will become a parallel import.
Because in the NBA, a league that can "run amok" by relying only on physical talent, Curry did not give people a bright feeling in the preseason.
In the history of the NBA, it's not unheard of a guard like Curry who feeds off by projection, but how many can become superstars?
"Can Stephen Curry really adapt to the intensity of the NBA game?"
In addition, in addition to questioning Curry's inability to adapt to the intensity of the NBA game, many fans believe that Curry's breakthrough speed on the court is slower than Ellis's grandmother.
"Can you stop Stephen from dribbling in the game? Transported in place for half a day, in the end even one person can't get by! ”
No matter what stage of his career he is, Curry is not the kind of player who eats quickly by taking the first step.
In the preseason, in order to find a tacit understanding with his teammates, Curry obviously had reservations and did not show his true ability to combine dribbling and shooting.
In fact, that's the weapon Curry relies on to survive in the NBA.
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, Curry had a nearly 60% finishing rate under the basket in his rookie season.
This is because, in the game, even if you know that Curry is not fast, in order to block Curry's shooting, you have to obediently give him a way out.
In this life, how could Curry, who has been strengthened by Grover, not even be able to survive the game?
After the preseason, Wang Shuo found Curry and asked, "Stephen, why do you keep thinking about how to pass the ball in the game?" ”
Hearing this, Curry said to Wang Shuo with a confused expression: "Can ...... Didn't the coaching staff ask us to share more of the ball in the game? ”
Wang Shuo patted his head and said, "Stephen, do you think Steve Nash's passing is amazing?" ”
Curry nodded.
Wang Shuo continued: "But you know, in the past, when I played against the 76ers, I wasn't afraid of Steve's pass at all, I was just afraid that he wouldn't pass the ball and choose to attack by himself." ”
To tell the truth, Wang Shuo never thought of cultivating Curry to the core of the organization.
He just wants Curry to become the Curry he remembers from the 21/22 season as soon as possible, and to build on that to make his own leap and finish on himself.
What is the core of the organization?
In terms of Curry's career, the true shooting percentage that can only be described as horror......
Even if Wang Shuo lets him go in this life and hits him until he retires, it will be difficult for his true hit rate to drop 60%.
To put it bluntly, Curry's terrible projection talent dictates that he's better suited to be the team's endpoint rather than playmaker.
Wang Shuo knows very well that if he wants to compete for the championship in the new season, then he must cultivate Curry's critical strike rate.
"I understand, coach, I'm going to play a little bit more decisively in the game." Curry looked at Wang Shuo and said.
Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "If I just want you to fight more decisively, then why did I come to talk to you?"
Stephen, what I hope is that in the new season, you dare to fire anywhere on the pitch, at any time!
I allow you to play without my tactics, as long as you feel like you can shoot, and after half-time, you can shoot straight away. ”
At this moment, Curry's eyes widened.
Because where could he have thought of it......
At this moment, Wang Shuo will hand over the "infinite iron power" that symbolizes the absolute core status of the team to him?
"After half the game, can I throw it?" Forcibly adjusting his breathing, Curry said.
Wang Shuo nodded and said, "After half time, it's no problem to shoot as much as you want." ”
"But wouldn't your teammates have an opinion on that?" Curry asked.
Wang Shuo picked his nose and said, "Which of them dares to have an opinion?"
Of course, at the moment, they are indeed because I dare not have an opinion.
But Stephen, if you're accurate enough and trust me, they'll just want you to do it. ”
In Wang Shuo's previous life, he had never heard of a Kumi who threw too much in Kuli.
In general, when he visits forums, he sees the most ......
Why can't Curry throw more in the game?
According to the schedule, the Lakers' regular season opener of the new season will start on October 27, and the opponent is the Lakers' rival Clippers.
This season, with the addition of Wang Shuo, the Clippers will usher in good news and bad news respectively.
The good news is that the suspense of the Los Angeles derby is back, and James doesn't have to worry about his lack of flow in the game against the Lakers like he did last season.
The bad news is that during Wang Shuo's tenure, the Clippers basically had no home court in the game against the Lakers.
In this opening game with the Clippers, Wang Shuo knew very well that Kobe Bryant would definitely be haunted by death from James.
Therefore, Curry's play will determine the trend of this game in a sense.
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, Curry scored 32 points in a single game against Harris in his rookie season.
Harris is quick to assault on the field, but defense is not his strong suit.
In this opening game, Wang Shuo plans to start Curry and let Kobe Bryant play against Harris on defense, so that Curry can avoid his edge.
As for the Clippers' choice of Morris Williams to start, what if Harris can't guard Curry, what should be done with him to guard Curry?
I'm sorry, but "Mo Bu Chuan" also can't prevent Curry.
Historically, in the career record of Curry and "Mo Bu Chuan", when the two of them have the same amount of playing time, basically Curry can blow up "Mo Bu Chuan" in the opposite position.
Moreover, the Clippers' interior twin towers, Big Z and Carman, are the live targets used to build confidence in Curry in Wang Shuo's eyes.
Because when the Lakers are implementing small and big tactics, who can prevent these two guys?
In the regular season, before letting Curry compete for the best sixth man, Wang Shuo made a decision early on when he noticed the schedule.
This opener against the Clippers......
He will continue his proud tradition of having his team's star play well in the opener every time he changes coaches, and Stephen Curry will continue it...... (Bryant:?) )
