Chapter 159: Full Blossom, Tragedy Begins! (Single more 13,300 words to!) )
On the evening of the 27th, the Staples Center was full of friends.
In the VIP box, looking at the fans in the stands who were full of expectations for the Lakers in the new season, at this moment, Old Bass really couldn't find any adjectives to describe Wang Shuo.
Because in the NBA, a star league, Old Bass has never seen a head coach like Wang Shuo who has his own traffic and is more influential than the players on the court.
Last season, the Clippers were the second best in the West, but the Lakers were the bottom of the West.
By common sense, this Los Angeles derby should have been a no-brainer game.
But when it comes to game previews, it's unbelievable that seven of the 15 experts interviewed by TNT TV by phone before the game are optimistic that the Lakers can win.
In front of the TV, on this night, many Comies thought that Kobe Bryant was going to raise his eyebrows, because in the past few years, Kobe's ability to lead the team has not only been questioned, but also his alignment data with James is not ideal.
"Kobe Bryant will definitely beat James this time, believe me!"
"Every time Wang Shuo changed teams before, the star of his team could play a masterpiece in the opening game, and Kobe Bryant is likely to repeat the '81 miracle' again tonight!"
"How can '81 miracles' be so easy to reproduce? But in my opinion, Kobe Bryant's 70 points in this game will definitely not be a problem! ”
As for the thoughts of the group of secrets in front of the TV at this moment, Wang Shuo naturally has no way of knowing.
But what is not afraid of this group of Komi is that Wang Shuo knows that in his memory, Kobe Bryant has never cut down even one "40+" in the duel with James.
Yes, not once, including the All-Star Game.
Moreover, Wang Shuo, who is not afraid to take a step closer to this group of Comi, can also tell this group of Comi: In fact, if you don't count Kobe's last three career encounters with James after a serious Achilles tendon injury, Kobe Bryant may not even be able to shoot 42.8% in his career record with James.
Because Kobe Bryant and James played each other for the last three times of their careers, shooting a total of 23 of 46.
Some people may say that even if Kobe Bryant only shoots 42.8% from the field and averages only 24.6 points per game in his career record with James, it doesn't mean that Kobe Bryant is all James defensive.
Yes, even if James knows what traffic is, on the basketball court, it is impossible for the star to be in the right place all the time.
Defending a star of Kobe's caliber has never been just a matter for one player.
But historically, did the so-called team defense really work for Kobe?
For example, the Spurs, who are known for their defensive discipline.
You know, that's one of Kobe's favorite opponents in his career.
And is there a possibility that in the Cavaliers 1.0 period in Wang Shuo's memory, among the outside players who can get at least 25 minutes per game and are likely to play against Kobe, whether it is Larry Hughes or Delonte West, or Daniel Gibson, are Kobe's favorite opponents in his career?
Against West, Bryant averaged 34 points per game in his career, and against Hughes, Bryant averaged 29.2 points per game on more than 50% shooting.
As for Gibson...... Kobe Bryant was able to average 29 points per game on his head.
That is to say, if you have to say that Kobe Bryant is not defended by James, it can only be said that Kobe Bryant is too smart, and he will even find a soft persimmon to pinch in the game, brushing his record against James to an average of 24.6 points per game plus a 42.8% shooting rate.
However, if Kobe Bryant can be so smart, he will not look smart at all in Wang Shuo's memory.
Because 60% of Kobe's career encounters with James took place in James's youth, and Kobe's model was not as good as Jordan's, James could always disrupt Kobe's shooting rhythm through physical confrontation in the game......
Therefore, in Wang Shuo's view, if Kobe Bryant is really smart, then he should not make a lot of unreasonable shots in the game when facing James.
In basketball, especially in a five-on-five game, if blocking or stealing is the only requirement to be able to defend against an opposing superstar, you can't defend even a role player in the NBA.
At this point, Wang Shuo believes that James must have studied Kobe, at least he has definitely reviewed the classic case of how Finley hid Kobe's "god descends to earth" switch.
Because contrary to what many Kohei thinks, the "AK47" that has been hatted by Kobe several times in a row in the game, Kirilenko, who has been talked about by Kohei all day long, is precisely one of Kobe's favorite opponents in his career.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Kobe Bryant not only scored 52 points in 34 minutes against Kirilenko, but also averaged 30.7 points per game on 48.7% shooting from the field against Kirilenko.
In fact, Kobe Bryant has never been afraid of this kind of player who wants to block him every time he defends, or tries to cover him.
Because you got Kobe Bryant once, can you still get rid of all of Kobe's shots?
Again, that's the same sentence.
Kobe's model dictates that what Jordan can easily do on the court, he must do with greater difficulty.
So, as long as you can theoretically keep up with his rhythm and give him enough physical confrontation before he makes a shot, Bryant's shooting percentage will drop significantly.
In Wang Shuo's memory, Kobe Bryant played most of the iron in the game because he was anxious to find his touch after the opponent broke the shooting rhythm.
Young Zhan's physical talent determined that, with his teammates, he could perfectly meet the pre-requirements for reducing Kobe's shooting percentage and critical strike chance.
As for the attitude of the game?
James has always been clear, better than anyone, about what playing against Kobe Bryant can bring him.
So now the question arises.
As Wang Shuo's other main task this season, how can Wang Shuo make Kobe regain his Los Angeles throne deservedly?
A: As early as last season, when Kobe Bryant was asked to lose weight, Wang Shuo was already laying out.
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, the best games of Kobe's career against James were played before he gained weight, that is, before he formed the team of the "second dynasty of the Lakers" with Gasol.
Historically, Bryant's purpose in gaining weight was to achieve higher hard solution efficiency on the court.
But for this, he also lost part of his maneuvering advantage.
As a result, this makes him always fight against James when he fights him.
Although, after gaining weight, Kobe Bryant also used his back body skills to show off James in the game.
But on the premise of not one game, Kobe Bryant at that time reached an astonishing 6 games just in the game where the overall shooting rate did not exceed 40% in the matchup with James.
In Wang Shuo's view, Kobe's biggest advantage in front of James is his priority shot.
In fact, this is also Kobe's biggest advantage against all defensive players.
That is, no matter how you defend it, as long as Kobe Bryant is willing to pick it, he can pick it in front of you twenty or thirty times.
Therefore, Kobe, who has lost weight recently, can not only effectively avoid the risk of injury after gaining weight, but also increase the difficulty of James wanting to give him physical confrontation on the court.
However, if Kobe Bryant wants to play a better Excel in the face of James, he still has to listen to Wang Shuo's arrangements and instructions.
Because on the basketball court, Excel is so deceptive.
For example, O'Neal, who is sitting at the water cooler at the moment, is teaching Curry the experience of the game.
Wang Shuo said as early as when Yao Ming entered the league that if Xiao Yao couldn't step on the soles of his feet in this life, it would be the incompetence of his "god of coaches".
On the field, after the warm-up, the two teams were revealed tonight.
Clippers: Big Z, Jamison, James, Mo Bu Chuan, Harris.
Lakers: Jr. Plus, Odom, Gallinari, Kobe, Curry.
Before the start of this game, Wang Shuo specially asked Director Lu to buy Curry a box of the best local popcorn in Los Angeles.
Because if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, Curry once complained in his memory about the popcorn at the Staples Center, which is the worst popcorn in the world.
Wang Shuo doesn't know if this is the reason why Curry always strikes iron in Staples.
But he knew......
For a pitcher, a good mood is also a good feeling.
"Wang ...... Are you sure that popcorn will make Stephen shoot more accurately in the game?
How do I feel like he's warmed up tonight with more iron than usual? Although Director Lu didn't understand Wang Shuo's metaphysical theory, in his opinion, as long as it was Wang Shuo's order, then there would naturally be Wang Shuo's reason.
It's just that......
Since eating the box of popcorn he bought with satisfaction, Coach Lu found that Curry, who returned to the court to continue warming up, really had so many points of iron.
But at this moment, Wang Shuo felt that the game was stable.
Because as the leader of Jammy, Wang Shuo knows very well that Curry, who warms up more before the game, will often be more accurate in the game.
In this world, there are so many metaphysical things, you can't believe it.
In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the Clippers attacked first.
After the game started, CCTV and Director Zhang noticed that Wang Shuo's arrangement tonight was to let Kobe Bryant go to the opposite Harris, and Curry would defend him.
Wang Shuo in his previous life, no matter what stage of Curry's career, Mo Buchuan never bargained in front of him.
Unlike Nash's defense, which is full of air after opening, even Curry, who was in the early stages of his career, is not afraid of this kind of guard who is shorter than him and mainly relies on shooting to score.
Historically, in the career record against Curry, Mo Buchuan has only averaged 8.3 points per game, which is far below his career average.
In the future, you can also say that Klay is helping Curry defend.
But Curry, who was in the early stage of his career, once passed Mo Bu to Fang Cheng Mo in the game.
In Wang Shuo's view, Curry's poor defense in the early stage of his career is not only due to his own reasons, but also related to the fact that the Warriors' coach always arranges him to play against the opponent's assault monsters.
But even late in his career, Curry doesn't like to play up with guards who can pass him in one step.
The Clippers opened the first attack, and after the front court was settled, James immediately encountered Gallinari's tough defense.
The Lakers started tonight with a four-up, and it didn't matter if Gallinari pounced too the outside, because as soon as James burst in, there would be a big white bear from the Iberian Peninsula waiting for him on the inside.
Historically, in the career record against Xiao Jia, James has averaged only 23.5 points per game.
Although in front of Xiao Jia, James can still maintain a shooting rate close to 5 percent, but Xiao Jia only needs to go to the inside line, and James can feel the shock given to him by "a mountain in Iberia".
On the periphery, after shaking off Gallinari's defense, James, who noticed that Jr. had returned to the penalty area in time, hurriedly stopped the pace of continuing to attack forward.
In the bottom corner, Big Z pulled away in time and was ready to catch the ball and shoot at any time.
This is an offensive opportunity that the Lakers deliberately give the Clippers, if nothing else, just to speed up the pace of the game.
Big Z received James' assist and shot, and then Odom quickly served the baseline ball, and Kobe Bryant dribbled across the half court.
Jr. followed up in time and made a hand-to-hand cooperation with Curry the moment he got the ball.
Big Z was not familiar with Curry's characteristics, so he didn't pounce at the first time, and after Harris was completely blocked by Xiao Cana's solid model, Curry fired decisively!
CCTV, looking at Curry, who dared to shoot half a meter away from the three-point line, Director Zhang wanted to say that Curry should wait for Kobe Bryant for this ball, and then choose after Kobe Bryant is in place.
But the next second......
Hmmm——!
This is Stephen Curry!
At this moment, the Lakers' opponents don't know how terrifying this "baby-faced killer" is.
To be honest, in Wang Shuo's memory, as long as Curry can receive the ball on the court and make a shot, for Curry himself, regardless of whether there is a defender in front of him, it is a big vacancy.
On the sidelines, watching Curry hit the first goal of his career as soon as he came up, Wang Shuo also gave him a thumbs up at the first time.
Dell Curry, who was sitting not far behind Wang Shuo, smiled at the camera that happened to be turning towards him and Wang Shuo.
However, Old Curry may not believe it, because at this moment, the close-up is just to capture Wang Shuo's expression, so in this picture, as the background of Wang Shuo, his whole person is blurred.
Coming back, James, who knows the difference between one and the other, decided to let his younger brother Harris go to consume Kobe Bryant first.
Because this can greatly reduce the cost of his next defense of Kobe.
Harris's first move started quickly, but Bryant managed to escort Harris all the way to the defense zone of Junior Plus by retreating.
At the moment when Harris burst into the hinterland of the Lakers, except for Big Z, the other three players of the Clippers all stood still, as if they were playing a game of "one, two, three, wooden man".
Harris is miserable.
Because the protrusion was too deep, under the threat of Kobe's elbow, he couldn't turn around and split the ball at all.
On the side, Big Z was moving, but Big Z did not choose to move closer to Harris's side to follow up and receive the ball, but habitually pulled it to the high post.
Seeing this, Harris had to force a jump and pass, inexplicably adding a steal to Odom's stats.
In Wang Shuo's original time and space, this kind of "singles under the gaze of Emperor Zhan" did the best thing was Owen.
Because it doesn't matter if others don't run, Irving himself can always find a way to put the ball in the basket.
On the court, Odom held the ball and launched a transition attack, Curry followed up in time, and scored a layup after a pass from the outside with a Baifo point to get back from the defense.
2 to 5.
The Clippers attacked, the routine was still simple and clear, after the big z was raised to the high post for James to block Gallinari, James hit a two-point dry shot.
In the 09/10 season, James' long two-point shooting accounted for 26% of his total shooting.
He averaged even 0.1 more shots per game than Kobe Bryant in the same period, and many shots were deliberately given to him by opponents, shooting 39.8% from the field.
Of course, James in this life is obviously different from Wang Shuo's memory in style.
The reason why he was forced to shoot in the long two-point area this time was because Gallinari had chased him to the side after an elbow knocked over the big Z.
Gallinari's defense certainly can't be compared to the macho man Wang Shuo brought before.
But this Italian cannon is really hard.
The Lakers possessed the ball, and with a small increase to the top of the arc, Kobe Bryant and Curry used teammates on both sides to cover the run.
On the sidelines, looking at Kobe Bryant, who threw off James' defense and cut into the basket and received a small assist to easily score two points, Wang Shuo felt that Kobe Bryant couldn't play a good-looking excel in front of James in his memory, and Phil Jackson definitely contributed to it.
Because playing under Jackson, who can only play various versions of the triangle offense, Kobe Bryant's offense is as easy to guess as he is.
Even in the later Gasol period, Kobe's off-ball movement on the court was not complicated.
In Wang Shuo's view, this is undoubtedly a great waste of Kobe's off-ball ability.
Yes, Kobe Bryant has a certain amount of off-ball ability.
Especially after being spit out by Hamilton in history, Kobe Bryant has spent a lot of time studying Hamilton's movement in private.
In this life, Kobe Bryant will only study Hamilton earlier.
Because as early as the 01/02 season in the finals, Kobe Bryant saw how good Hamilton can run.
At this moment, Wang Shuo felt that he was still conservative before.
Because in terms of Jackson's coaching ability, if he really coached Barkley's flying pig in the 90s, then as long as he casually strengthened the Suns' lineup at that time, Wang Shuo felt that Jordan was likely to be beaten to retire without a championship.
The pinnacle Danzi is indeed strong.
But in Wang Shuo's eyes, the peak Danzi was purely delayed by Jackson.
What is the ten-time scoring champion?
If Wang Shuo is in charge, then Jordan will have to add at least five, six, seven or eight assists.
Wang Shuo coached Jordan in his later years, and he knew very well how high Jordan's ball quotient was, and he also knew that Jordan had already understood the importance of playing with the pass button when he was stunned by the Pistons for the first time.
On the court, the Clippers attacked, and James threw a three-point shot.
Curry's ball was blocked when he passed the shot, but his arm span, which was almost the same as his height, was no deterrent at all.
In Wang Shuo's view, if Yao Ming is "New York Curry", then Curry is "Los Angeles Yao Ming".
The Lakers have the ball, this time by Kobe Bryant in the high post and Gasol hand-to-hand cooperation.
Big Z didn't dare to slack off on this ball, and stepped forward in time to delay.
I don't know if Harris, who saw this scene, would have a feeling that he was being treated differently.
Because before, when he was defending the library, Big Z didn't have such an active defense.
However, if Harris dares to have such thoughts, it can only show that his ideological consciousness is not high enough.
Because of King Qin's priority, can it be the same as supporting allies?
However, at the moment when Big Z delayed Kobe, Kobe immediately returned the ball to Xiao Jia, who had already bounced out.
The latter catches the ball and hits a three-pointer at the top of the arc.
5 to 10.
On the Lakers bench, Coach Lu said with a puzzled face: "Mark has proven that he has a certain three-point ability last season, why doesn't LeBron make up for Mark for this ball?" ”
On the side, Mike Malone felt that Lu had been teammates with James for three years, and said, "What does it have to do with LeBron how many points Mark scores on the court?" ”
Over the years, Wang Shuo has long had no groove to vomit about Xiao Ma Long's "bold and big".
Coming back, the Clippers attacked, and Mo Bu, who found sweetness in Curry, took the initiative to ask for the ball and singled Curry.
But compared to the catch-and-shoot just now, Curry is not so afraid of him after Mo Bu passed into the dribble singles stage.
It is rumored that last season's basket shot accounted for only about one-tenth, and Curry knew that his assault ability was average at this time, so he took the initiative to meet him and forced him to shoot in front of him.
CCTV, looking at Mo Bu who dared to throw it when Curry was not out of position, Director Zhang shook his head and said: "This shot is too unreasonable!" ”
When ——!
With the assist of Mo Bu passing, Xiao Jia rebounded and added one.
In Wang Shuo's memory, Xiaojia has always done a good job of protecting rebounds in the backcourt.
After being sucked by Randolph for many years, he averaged about 6 backcourt rebounds per game during his time with the Grizzlies.
The Lakers possessed the ball, because Curry had hit a long-range three-pointer before, this time when Curry and Xiao Jia were hand-to-hand, Big Z hurriedly pounced.
But that's exactly what the Lakers want.
Because after the Lakers demolished the wall with high hands, Harris delayed a little bit for the big Z too much, resulting in the big Z having to defend Curry.
At this moment, watching Da Z keep retreating, as if he was afraid that Curry would pass his defense in one step, Wang Shuo was already mourning for him.
If you don't understand, just ask, who told Zajunas Ilgoskas, defend Stephen Curry, you can step back?
Hmmm——!
In Wang Shuo's previous life, even Curry in his rookie season had a 3-point shooting rate of 43.7%.
Curry's dribbling shots have been accurate.
It's just that in the early stage of his career, even a mad scientist like old Nelson didn't dare to be as crazy as Wang Shuo.
Wang Shuo knows very well that a player like Curry will definitely subvert people's perception of basketball and the concept of basketball.
In the 15/16 season, Curry's outside game success rate was a staggering 68.5%.
Curry at this time is definitely not as strong as Wang Shuo's memory of his full-ticket MVP season.
But in Wang Shuo's view, as long as Curry can achieve a 40% success rate in small fights, he can let Curry keep playing like this.
Because Curry's outside line is small and big, it is basically based on three-point shooting.
A simple conversion shows that as long as Curry can complete the offense with a success rate of more than 40%, it is equivalent to Kobe Bryant turning and leaning back 10 times on the court, and he has to score at least 6 goals.
On the court, after Curry hit a three-point shot, Dunleavy Sr. hurriedly called a timeout.
TNT TV, Smith said incredulously: "Is this really the Lakers we remember?" Tonight, both offensively and defensively, they don't look like a team that was at the bottom of last season. ”
Barkley said: "Kenny, I told you a long time ago, Wang has always been good at turning decay into magic, and under his leadership, this Lakers team will definitely make a big difference in the new season." ”
Smith said: "Kobe Bryant didn't play much tonight, and the Lakers were already on the verge of building a double-digit lead. ”
Hearing this, Barkley frowned and said, "Otherwise, Kobe Bryant should not play, right?" (Kobe Bryant: ?) )
Barkley commented on many of the Clippers' games with Wang Shuo last season, and it's clear that the flying pig is also impressed.
Because of Kobe Bryant under Jackson, how can he talk the same as Kobe Bryant under Wang Shuo?
During the timeout, Wang Shuo called Kobe Bryant in front of him and said, "Stephen has a good hand tonight, and the Clippers will definitely adjust their defensive focus next."
You can use the cover of your teammates, cut from the ribs on both sides, take some random points first, and find a feeling by the way, and then I'll arrange for you to play singles in the second half of the quarter. ”
Follow...... Just take some points?
Looking at Wang Shuo, Kobe Bryant found out when he was playing in the United States men's basketball team before that every arrangement of Wang Shuo on the sidelines sounded very simple......
Well, it's only going to be simpler to actually execute.
Wang Shuo knows very well that James' strategy to defend Kobe Bryant is to fight with his body, even if Kobe Bryant plays a famous scene in front of him, it doesn't matter, because as long as Kobe's shooting rhythm is destroyed and he has to spend a lot of shots to find a feel, Kobe's Excel after the game will definitely not look good.
So the best way to crack this defensive strategy is to increase the number of touches Bryant has on the court, as well as allowing him to find his touch with some simple points in the game.
At the beginning of tonight, most of the Lakers' offense was initiated by Xiao Jia, but the basketball will basically pass Kobe's hand first.
And now, with Curry opening up the situation, the elder Dunleavy will definitely explain how the players will defend Curry during this timeout, and Wang Shuo knows that it is time for Kobe Bryant to brush his excel first.
After the timeout, the game resumed.
The Clippers attacked, and James was in the high post with the big Z block.
In this game, Wang Shuo didn't let Kobe Bryant go to the opposite position, the biggest purpose was to save Kobe's physical energy.
Harris is fast, but Kobe's model can cover him.
In addition, even though the referees have increased the basic requirements for James since last season, James' physical talent dictates that you still have to pay some price when you don't want him to play good-looking Excel.
On the court, Gallinari still elbowed the way, forced his way around, and followed James all the way.
Seeing this, with a "crazy man" always following behind him, James decisively held the ball and accelerated into the inside.
It's just that......
When he jumped up and faced "an Iberian mountain", he suddenly found ......
On the field, none of his teammates were running!
Of course, the Clippers players can't be blamed for this, because who made the Clippers fans spray the elder Dunleavy so much that he didn't dare to use his son in the game?
Dunleavy Jr. is not on the court, who is good at playing without the ball in this Clippers team?
In desperation, James, who had already jumped up, threw the ball vigorously and successfully threw the ball into the hands of Wang Shuo on the sidelines.
After winning the ball, Wang Shuo, who was Jammy, did not dare to slack off, his hand was up and down, and he was super far away from the three-point hollow shabu!
It's a pity that Wang Shuo is the coach of the Lakers, so this ball is not counted as the Clippers' score.
However, at the scene, Lakers fans still burst into applause for Wang Shuo.
Coming back, after the Lakers possessed the ball, small plus raised to high positions, the Lakers executed a high-level variant of the Spanish blocking and pick-and-roll.
Why was the Spanish men's basketball team strong during this period?
Because of top-level insiders like this who can play in a high position, they have two!
Kobe Bryant borrowed Odom to cover, and Odom did the central axis to help him frame James.
On the other side, because Curry's position may need to be filled by Big Z at any time, the Clippers' interior line is already a vacuum.
Kobe, who received Odom's pass, spun 180 degrees in the air and dunked the basketball into the hoop.
Seeing this, Curry on the side immediately widened his eyes, because scoring like this is the most perfect score in his mind!
Obvious.
After losing weight, Kobe Bryant is the "Peter Pan" in Wang Shuo's memory.
Next, Wang Shuo plans to take advantage of Kobe Bryant's ability to fly and fool him into participating in another slam dunk contest.
After all......
In this life, because he didn't find a suitable object, Wang Shuo still had a bunch of LaVine's dunk ideas in his mind that were useless.
At the scene, Kobe's dunk instantly detonated the Staples Center.
And on the court, after a few more rounds......
At this time, James was in a hurry.
Before the game, the young Ajan thought that even with Wang Shuo's coaching, the Lakers, who were at the bottom of last season's rankings, could not be the opponent of the Clippers.
So in his eyes, this was a great opportunity for him to prove himself.
But as the score of the two teams came to 8-23 in the first quarter, Kobe's statistics came to 8 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds......
James found that the Clippers really didn't seem to be the match for this Lakers!
Moreover, Kobe's excel is constantly being refreshed!
Fortunately, after years of precipitation and reflection, James has fully grasped the essence of staggered travel and avoiding its edge.
In his opinion, after the Lakers change to the rotation lineup, he still has a chance to lead the Clippers to play a wave of counterattacks.
In the second half of the first quarter, the two teams successively made personnel adjustments.
Curry, who scored 14 points in the first quarter, was replaced by Wang Shuo with Ellis.
In this game, because "Roaring Tianzun" was still recovering from an injury, Wang Shuo did not arrange him in the game squad, so Wang Shuo replaced Odom with McRoberts.
In addition, Jordan Jr. also replaced Gasol Jr.
In the starting lineup, Wang Shuo only kept Gallinari and Kobe Bryant on the court.
Because with the elder Dunleavy can only choose to suffer his son again, the former is against the younger Dunleavy, which is a natural dislocation.
Wang Shuo didn't believe that Dunleavy Jr.'s thin body could withstand Gallinari's elbows.
In addition, when making personnel adjustments, Wang Shuo also pulled Kobe Bryant to his side and said: "In the last few minutes, you will defend LeBron, but you only prevent him from shooting, if he wants to break through, you can put him in." ”
Bryant was a little worried about Jordan Jr.'s rim-protecting ability, because in the previous joint practice, Jordan Jr. often liked to jump around when defending.
Wang Shuo saw the worry in Kobe's heart and said, "Who told you that our inner line is DeAndrew's to deal with LeBron alone?"
You just put LeBron inside, remember, you only guard LeBron shots. ”
On the court, after the substitutions of the two teams, the Clippers' on-court lineup was Carman, Jamison, Dunleavy Jr., James, and Harris.
The Clippers attacked, facing Kobe Bryant, who pounced on his ball handler, James, who had saved most of his physical strength, forced Kobe Bryant's left hand after taking a step.
If it had been before, Kobe Bryant would have had to charge James a toll.
But tonight, at Wang Shuo's request, Kobe Bryant put James into the Lakers' interior line.
Then, when Kobe Bryant looked back, he found ......
McRoberts has long been stuck in James's breakthrough inside.
This is the first checkpoint set up by Wang Shuo for James, and the purpose is not to prevent James, but for McRoberts to collect tolls for James.
When helping to defend, McRoberts used his model to jam James' pass to the bottom corner, deliberately letting go of the right side of his body to James.
The good thing about this kind of defense is that no matter how bad Jordan Jr.'s brain is, he also knows which direction he should go from to help defend James next.
Assassinated from Los Angeles to Sacramento and back to Los Angeles from Sacramento.
Although Jordan Jr.'s upheaval along the way didn't depend on James, the moment he noticed that James crashed into McRoberts' defense, Jordan Jr. still subconsciously chose to take to the air to meet the enemy.
In this game, because Wang Shuo was on the sidelines, and it was broadcast live in the United States, James obviously didn't dare to take the step of "five embarrassments" after the ball was combined.
Smack——!
On the sidelines, looking at the volleyball cap sent by Little Jordan, at the moment when he noticed that the referee was about to blow the whistle, Wang Shuo shouted directly: "The hat is beautiful, DeAndrew!" ”
Seeing this, after the referee glanced back at Wang Shuo, he immediately put away the idea of wanting to blow the whistle.
Because even if the NBA has introduced "zero tolerance", this rule does not apply to Wang Shuo.
On the sidelines, the Clippers serve a sideline ball.
Fresh from a volleyball cap, James knew he had to get back on the court.
But at the moment when he was concocted by Coo-Rufa and put it into the Lakers' interior again, James, who has always been witty, realized that he had been tricked.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess how James launched the offense on the court.
Otherwise, how could it be beaten by the Mavericks to score 8 points in the finals?
Fortunately, Dunleavy Jr. came to the rescue in time and hit a three-point shot from the periphery after taking the pot through a move.
However, these two defenses made Kobe Bryant understand that James was far better than he imagined.
And so it is.
Historically, in the season when James was blowing all his might, James averaged 27.2 shots per game in the playoffs, and if you exclude free throws, he averaged just 24 points per game.
What kind of efficiency is this?
Even if Kobe Bryant's teammates around him in the 06/07 season are supergiants, in the playoffs of that season, in addition to free throws, Kobe, who is nicknamed the "King of the Iron King", can average 26 shots per game in exchange for 26 points per game.
One shot to get back a point in the playoffs isn't inefficient.
But the reason why Ajan can't get back one point at a time after a large number of shots is precisely because his offensive means on the court are too simple.
On the court, the Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant singled James with the ball on the wing.
However, unlike James's imaginary one-v-one, at the moment when Kobe Bryant started in a row, McRoberts had already set up a card in advance and blocked his route to chase Kobe.
No matter how much James wanted to yell at the moment "put away your damn pick-and-roll, I'm going to be one-on-one with Kobe," he also took a solid elbow on McRoberts.
This Lakers team is full of macho men who are good at elbowing, and the first quarter of the game has not yet been played, and Ajan, who wants to save energy, found that he has already been bruised and purple.
Bryant bursts into the basket and hits a layup.
Under Wang Shuo's tactical system, Kobe Bryant found that his score on the court could only be described as relaxed and happy.
He didn't do much at all, and he had already scored 12 points in the quarter.
Coming back, James also paid the price for traffic.
Historically, although he has the advantage in Excel against Kobe, in fact, James's own overall shooting percentage is less than 47%.
After all, high-intensity defense not only affects physical fitness, but also the player's own shooting percentage on the court.
On the periphery, after James angrily sent a board, Jordan Jr. had just handed over the ball to Ellis when he saw a flash of lightning go straight to the Clippers' halfcourt.
What is the speed of this tm?
On the court, James, who has not scored for a long time, is ready to use a chase cap to get back on the court this time.
But after Ellis burst into the Clippers' hinterland with the ball, he didn't choose to go to the basket, but handed the basketball to Kobe, who was chasing him with his life.
Bryant followed up on a fast-break layup and patted Ellis on the back with his small hand as he stepped back as he stepped back to show encouragement.
"Monta just slowed down, just to wait for Kobe, right?" On the Lakers bench, Marlon Jr. asked.
Wang Shuo nodded and said, "No way, he's too fast." ”
Staples Center, in the first quarter of the game, the score of the two teams was 20-45 in the first quarter.
On this night, when the entire arena was only for Lakers fans, the fans at the scene were shocked.
In the second quarter of the game, after Kobe Bryant went off the court, Ellis began to explode.
On the Clippers, only Harris can keep up with Ellis's speed.
But when the first quarter was full, the elder Dunleavy chose to use Mo Bulai, who was replaced early in the first quarter, to play against Ellis.
Mo Buchuan is "185" cm tall, but has a weight of more than 90 kilograms, and is a standard small steel cannon type defender.
Ellis has been on the court, and he couldn't have been too easy.
Moreover, James was also affected by the first quarter of the game in the first half of this quarter, and repeatedly helped the board on the court, becoming the "great good man" in the eyes of Jordan Jr.
Wang Shuo feels that it is a pity that this Lakers team does not have a vampire in the case of Xiaojia and Jordan.
In Wang Shuo's opinion, if Danzi had come back then, he would definitely have to hug Xiao Jia and Xiao Jordan's arteries all night.
In the second half of the second quarter of the game, Wang Shuo waved his hand and replaced Kobe Bryant and Curry on the court again.
James, who was declining rapidly in physical fitness, did not look for Kobe Bryant in the second half of the quarter, but chose Jamison to take the blame.
Jamison has never been known for defense in his career, and when he was younger, he was able to score 51 points against Kobe Bryant on the court......
But what is the difference between using Jamison to defend Kobe Bryant at this time and giving Kobe Bryant points?
On the Clippers bench, after colliding with the Lakers' second lineup tonight, Dunleavy Sr. found that the Lakers seemed to be crushing the Clippers in all directions.
The dignified second in the West was beaten by last season's Western First at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and it was when the Lakers did not bring in any superstars in the new season.
At this moment, old Dunleavy was shut up.
Because in his opinion, in this game, Wang Shuo is like the unclimbable mountain, blocking in front of him.
On the court, the Lakers' offense became smoother and smoother, and the halftime battle was over, 44-85.
Off the court, the Lakers' gorgeous offense tonight can be described as delightful to the fans.
On the court, in addition to Curry, who was forced by Wang Shuo to cut off the passing button, everyone was also very enthusiastic about sharing the ball in the game.
Why?
Because he doesn't play a triangle offense and Kobe Bryant doesn't go into the waters, everyone in this Lakers team can brush up on assists.
In the first half of the game, Bryant shot 8 of 10, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists for the Lakers in the half.
Curry shot 6-of-9, including 5-of-7 from three-point range and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, scoring 22 points and 3 rebounds for the Lakers.
In this game, Jr. didn't score much in the first half, only made two shots, scored two three-pointers, and scored six points, but had eight rebounds and nine assists.
Curry and Kobe Bryant became the two big sponsors of the small plus assist account.
At halftime, although he didn't know how his stupid brother brushed assists under Wang Shuo back then, Xiao Jia felt that if he played like this according to Wang Shuo's tactics......
He even has the confidence to compete with Nash and others for the assist king!
Before the game, Wang Shuo, who thought that Curry would continue his glorious tradition of the opening game, could have imagined that this game would become a game in which all the Lakers were in full bloom?
Wang Shuo feels that he may have overestimated the strength of the Clippers.
Or rather, he underestimated the strength of this Lakers team.
After halftime, as the third quarter of the game entered the practice time early, Kobe Bryant also frequently sent wonderful passes to his teammates on the court.
Bryant wasn't interested in swiping data in garbage time.
But it was James's always "high" fighting spirit that intrigued him.
Wang Shuo did not stop Kobe Bryant from going to James in the third quarter.
Don't ask, the question is that Kobe didn't even sweat much in this game, if he returns home in this state, then Vanessa will have to squeeze him dry afterwards?
As a result, James, who wanted to take this opportunity to brush excel, was miserable.
Because when his all-out output mode collided with Kobe's all-out defensive mode, plus Xiao Jia also wanted to prove himself in front of Dajia who watched this game in front of the TV......
Suddenly, James's mind was filled with all sorts of not-so-good memories.
That's not right!
Why are we, as the second in the West, beaten so badly by the Lakers?
And the mamba snake that made him unable to touch his hair at all in this game, how can he call one to come without a shadow and go without a trace?
Moreover, the game has entered garbage time, and James never expected that Wang Shuo was still giving him intensity.
Every time there is a slight deformation in his technical movements, Wang Shuo will alert the referee as soon as possible.
Last season, James, who had been rated as the "most embarrassing MVP" by the "Big Five", how could he dare to defend himself at this moment?
He can only keep reminding himself:
- Steady, don't panic!
Steady......
Steady a hammer!
Staples Center, 3rd quarter, 70-117.
When the game entered the final quarter, James, who only contributed 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 turnovers to the Clippers after only contributing 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 turnovers in the first three quarters tonight, had already sat back on the bench with a dull expression and gnawed his thumbs.
In the end, the score of the regular season opener was 90-145, and the Lakers won the opening game by 55 points, successfully setting the record for the largest loss margin in the history of the Clippers.
In the past two years, because the Clippers have performed better than the Lakers, the mood of Clippers owner Sterling, who is always in a meeting with the old Buss, is not expected to be too good after the game.
Because some witnesses said that after the game, Sterling left the Staples Center with a curse.
Bryant had an average game, scoring just 28 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists.
Curry, who had a significant drop in offensive desire in the third quarter, only scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Ellis, who came off the bench, combined with 21 points, four rebounds and four assists.
Gallinari had 19 points, six rebounds and three assists.
As for Xiao Jia, who called to report the good news at the first time after the game, he contributed 8 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists in this game.
Wang Shuo feels that if he continues to play like this, Kobe Bryant is likely to become the star he has coached, and he is the most incapable of excel.
Because in addition to Yao Ming and Duncan, who were only arranged to play 48 games by Wang Shuo in the last year of the Knicks three-game period......
The star of Wang Shuo's team will always refresh the world's three views on Excel.
In Wang Shuo's opinion, Kobe Bryant doesn't want to score 40+ points, he won't force it.
But "30+ triple-doubles in the season", Kobe Bryant still has to challenge it after all.
At the press conference, Clippers head coach Dunleavy Sr. said with a depressed expression in an interview: "The gap between us and the Lakers is too big, and this Lakers team has become a team with championship strength under the tutelage of Wang." ”
At the scene, a reporter reminded Dunleavy Sr. that the Clippers were also the second in the noble West last season and one of the favorites for the championship in the new season.
Hearing this, the elder Dunleavy smiled bitterly: "After this game, I think the Lakers have shown us the gap between us and the top teams." ”
The Lakers won the opener with a big victory, and the players all praised Wang Shuo in interviews.
Speaking to Italian reporters in an interview, Gallinari said: "I like to play under Wang, and with his tactical system, I feel like I can do anything. ”
A reporter asked Gallinari how he felt about playing against James in the game.
Gallinari laughed, "It's nothing special, I feel more relaxed than I usually train!" ”
At this moment, Gallinari did not pretend, because in normal training, he is often beaten by his teammates.
"Last season I thought I wouldn't be able to get a foothold in the NBA, but now, I'm confident that I can become a star center under Wang's tutelage!" ”
Jr. also didn't pretend to be pressing, because at the current level of center in the West, as long as he can maintain his form in the opener, it is only a matter of time before he is selected as an All-Star.
After the game, apart from Kobe, Curry was the player who was asked the most questions by reporters.
When answering questions, Curry is relatively much more low-key and reserved than other teammates, because Wang Shuo has talked to him about his career plan.
At this stage, Curry knows that he can't steal the limelight with Kobe, so in addition to praising Wang Shuo after the game, Curry also talked about Kobe Bryant's help as the leader of this Lakers team.
Kobe Bryant was undoubtedly the happiest man of the night.
Because of this big victory, in addition to making Kobe feel the happiness that he has not seen for a long time, it also made Kobe more determined, and he is on the right path at the moment.
Of course, some people rejoice, and some people are sad.
On this night, Jenny Bass was completely depressed.
Because of the old Buss, who intends to support Jim Buss to be the future master of the Lakers, he attributed the Lakers' success in recruiting Wang Shuo to his stupid son after the game.
What does this mean?
This means......
Every time Wang Shuo leads this Lakers team to take a step forward, Jeanie Buss will be farther and farther away from the center of the Lakers' power.
After the game, Kobe Bryant specially invited Wang Shuo to have a supper.
At supper, Wang Shuo deliberately brought the topic to Kobe's personal data, saying: "Kobe, I understand your mood at the moment, and I also understand that you are willing to make sacrifices for the team.
But as the star of this Lakers team...... You don't want people to talk about this Lakers team in the future and not remember what wonderful moments or famous scenes you had on the court, right? ”
If Phil Jackson knew about the conversation between Wang Shuo and Kobe Bryant at this moment, then he would definitely have a feeling of beeping a dog.
In fact, Kobe's decision to choose a more team style of play in the new season is also related to his desire to make a good impression on Wang Shuo.
You know, it took Kobe two and a half years to catch Wang Shuo ashore.
He was also worried that he would accidentally run away from Wang Shuo one day, causing all his previous efforts to be in vain.
Wang Shuo's status at this moment and his achievements in the past, coupled with Kobe's reflection during the precipitation, determine that as long as this Lakers team can win the championship, in Kobe's eyes, even if Wang Shuo asks him to do dirty work on the court, it doesn't matter.
However, since Wang Shuo has said this part, how could Kobe not know Wang Shuo's hard work?
After grinning at Wang Shuo, Kobe Bryant said, "Don't worry, if I feel good about my hand next, I will definitely make you want to replace me immediately." ”
Wang Shuo spread his hands and said: "You may think too much, I am different from other coaches, my favorite thing to do is to eat ice cream on the sidelines while watching the team's star score." ”
After pondering for a while, Kobe Bryant suddenly said with a solemn face: "Speaking of which, the next game ...... Can I fire at will during a match? ”
Wang Shuo smiled: "What's not to do?" ”
Kobe nodded and said, "Our opponent in the next game is the Bucks." ”
Hearing this, Wang Shuo immediately understood why Kobe Bryant looked so solemn at this moment.
Because this Bucks team has scum-Pachuria.
The culprit that led to Odom's season reimbursement and the Lakers missing the playoffs.
So, after two seconds of silence, Wang Shuo said to Kobe: "In the next game, I will ask my teammates to pass the ball to you."
I only have one requirement for you, if you can score 80 points in a game, you must never just score 70 points. ”
Although he had already scored 81 points in the game with the Raptors that year, looking at Wang Shuo, who said that scoring 80 points in the game was easier than drinking water, Kobe Bryant's mood at the moment was still a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo also shared a little secret with Kobe, saying: "Do you think I didn't want Michael to score 70 or 80 points on the court back then?"
But at that time, he couldn't do it at all.
I told him at the time that Kobe Bryant would definitely surpass him in the scoring arena in the future. ”
Bryant smiled and asked, "After you said that, wasn't he angry at the time?" ”
Wang Shuo smiled: "How dare he be angry with me? ”
At this moment, looking at Wang Shuo, Kobe Bryant's eyes couldn't help but have a trace of admiration.
After all, Wang Shuo was fierce back then......
It is indeed an existence that even Jordan dares to roar.
So, is it wrong that he Kobe Bryant chose to cooperate with Wang Shuo cautiously?
