Chapter 163: Don't Believe Rumors, Don't Spread Rumors! (7K short chapters are late)
The Lakers attacked, Ellis dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and Kobe Bryant borrowed Odom to cover from the right side of the court to the high post to ask for the ball.
Seeing this, Xiao Jia also withdrew in time and took the initiative to pick up Kobe near the free throw line.
Then, Kobe Bryant dropped the ball to Xiaojia, and cut along the middle, and after borrowing Xiaojia's model to kill the Thunder's hinterland, he received Xiaojia's wonderful pass and scored a layup.
This kind of cooperation, during the "Lakers Second Dynasty" period in Wang Shuo's memory, Dajia and Kobe Bryant also fought a lot.
Compared with Da Jia, Xiao Jia's passing is not so flashy, and it is an efficiency of brushing assists.
Anyway, in the future, after looking at the Excel comparison of the big plus, people will only think that the small plus is better at passing the ball than the big plus.
Thunder ball possession, Brooks' tactics are not complicated.
To put it simply, there are two inside lines, one blocking and dismantling, and one station smoking in the bottom corner.
Then Rose is in charge of the breakout, and Durant is in charge of the mid-to-long-range finish.
After the end of the first stage of cultivation, Durant's "praying mantis dry pulling" has become quite accurate.
However, before the end of the second phase of cultivation, Durant's "standing stick singles" had not been developed to the extreme by him.
Therefore, the Thunder's offense is mainly launched by Rose, who was at the peak of his career at the beginning of his career.
With Presti's corrections, Rose's violent breakthroughs like tonight's opening have been much reduced.
Fans who have watched Rose play at the peak will definitely not forget Rose's change of direction in front of the body without deceleration.
But actually, it would be fine if Rose just didn't slow down when changing direction.
The point is, the way he accelerates in front of his body and backwards is too violent.
Violence to ......
Even the most iron knees can't withstand Ross's tossing.
In the future, Rose learned how to beat people with rhythm after a major injury, and in the 18/19 season, when people thought he was going to fade out of the league, he scored a career-high 50 points in a single game.
On the court, Rose, who was covered by Ibaka, first flicked the basketball to the left with his right hand, and then, with a light slap with his left hand, he leisurely entered the Lakers' restricted area.
The UAE followed up with a basket and scored two points.
4 to 2.
As it turns out, while chewing Green Arrow doesn't make it easier for the UAE, Rose can.
Since Rose's arrival last season, the UAE's finishing rate has increased from 54.1% in 07/08 to 63.5%.
As the object of Durant's pledge of allegiance when he entered the league, since the UAE is occasionally arranged to carry explosives bags in this Thunder team, as long as the UAE can maintain his current efficiency, he can have a place in this Thunder team with only offense.
In addition, Wang Shuo noticed that the playing habits of the UAE were indeed much better than he remembered.
For example, when he was following up on eating cakes, after receiving the basketball that Rose smashed into his chest, the United Arab Emirates, who raised his hands high, directly put the basketball into the hoop cleanly.
In higher-intensity matches, how to finish quickly on the court is also a science.
Presti watched Duncan play in his early years and has a lot of experience in how to train young interior players to finish under the basket.
After the Thunder scored two consecutive offensive goals in the opening game, on the Lakers' bench, Malone looked at Wang Shuo and asked, "Do we need to adjust our defense?" ”
Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "There is no need for the regular season.
And the game is better played, isn't that what the fans are looking forward to? ”
At this time, Coach Lu asked curiously: "If it comes to the playoffs, how can we limit Derek's breakthrough on the court?" ”
Malone hurriedly replied: "Wouldn't it be better to keep an eye on the quadruple and let Kobe Bryant deal with Derrick?" ”
The biggest weakness of this Thunder team is still Brooks.
On the surface, he did choose a style of play for this Thunder team that best suited this group of players.
But as long as Rose is pressed, Brooks' offensive system will be self-defeating.
On the court, halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers took the lead in substitutions.
Wang Shuo replaced Gallinari and Odom with Curry and McRoberts, respectively.
The backcourt of Curry and Ellis is really strong.
Because the two brothers only played together for 5 minutes, they successfully rewrote the score from 21-27 to 38-35.
In the second quarter of the game, Wang Shuo adjusted the lineup on the court to Jordan Jr., McRoberts, Green, DeRozan, and Curry.
Brooks replaced Ibaka and United with Kostic and Collison, and replaced Rose with Harden.
Durant, who didn't attack much in the first quarter, began to break out in this quarter, and quietly, his personal score in this game broke through double digits.
CCTV, the young Yu Jia said with a puzzled face: "Should Wang Shuo call a timeout to readjust the Lakers' tactical arrangement?"
Tonight, the Thunder gradually dominated the game from the second half of the first quarter. ”
On the side, the elderly Director Zhang opened the thermos cup and took a sip of tea: "Don't worry, the Lakers team has always been either slow to heat up or easy to underestimate in the game."
And since coming to the Lakers to coach, Wang Shuo also prefers to be preemptive. ”
Director Zhang is worthy of being a senior Humi.
For the Lakers' glorious tradition of not being a wave, it can be said that it is a treasure.
But Director Zhang may not believe it when he says it......
In fact, Wang Shuo doesn't like to be preemptive in the game.
It's just that this season, the Lakers have to give the young players on the team enough playing time.
Although this way of employing people is destined for the Lakers to lose on some nights because they don't control the game, Wang Shuo will not change the Lakers' strategic approach.
On the court, the Thunder attacked.
Compared with the plump Ha Xiaopang in the future, Harden in this period is still relatively light and agile.
On the perimeter, after passing Curry in one step, Harden assisted Durant on a mid-range shot.
At this time, in front of the technical desk, Director Lu finally applied for a suspension under Wang Shuo's instructions.
However, the purpose of this timeout is not to adjust the tactics, but just to get the Lakers' substitution time.
During the pause, Wang Shuo gently reminded the players to pay attention to each other's defensive complements and try not to give the Thunder a chance to shoot on the periphery.
However, as soon as Wang Shuo finished reminding him on the front foot, and on the back foot, Barnes said to his teammates: "The leader is already angry, let's be tight, don't be so relaxed!" ”
Immediately afterward, Barnes shared with his teammates the story that Horry had told him back then: "You don't know, when the head coach the Wizards, there was a game where he was very dissatisfied with the Wizards' defense at that time.
And guess what happened next? ”
Curry asked curiously, "What happened?" ”
Barnes smiled slightly: "Robert told me that the head who was calm in the first half scolded Michael Jordan directly in the locker room at halftime!" ”
Looking at Barnes, at this moment, the Lakers players all shuddered!
Only Kobe Bryant always felt that something was wrong.
Because if Kobe Bryant remembers correctly......
Horry was clearly his teammate at the time.
On the court, in the second half of the second quarter, the Lakers' on-court lineup was Jr. Ga, Odom, Gallinari, Kobe, and Curry.
After the substitution, Wang Shuo said to Ellis, who did not play in this quarter: "Derek's style of play tonight is very physical, and I plan to send you out in the third quarter so that you can play more efficiently on the court." ”
Hearing this, Ellis replied to Wang Shuo with a nervous expression after swallowing his saliva: "No problem, boss......
Whatever you arrange, I'll fight! ”
Facing the "God of Coaches" who can scold and cry even a ruthless person like Jordan, no matter how bad Ellis's brain is, he also knows that he must not offend the man in front of him at this moment.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo, who always felt that Ellis was inexplicably well-behaved tonight, turned his head to look at Mike Malone and said, "Why is Monta so sensible in this game?" ”
Marlon shook his head and said, "Maybe...... Does he think what you're saying makes sense? ”
On the sidelines, after glancing at Ma Long, Wang Shuo did not continue to ponder.
And the Staples Center, after Barnes shared the story of Wang Shuo scolding and crying Jordan......
CCTV, looking at the Lakers on the court who seemed to be like a different team when defending, Director Zhang smiled and said, "Have you looked?" I said earlier that the game strategy adopted by the Lakers tonight is to be a late strike! ”
In the second half of the quarter, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to apply for a change in defense of Rose and handed over Sephorosa, who basically had no independent offensive ability, to Curry.
In this regard, Wang Shuo did not notice anything wrong.
Because as the leader of this Lakers team, when Kobe Bryant wants to pick the elite on the opposite side to play, Wang Shuo can't spread his hands and tell him that you have to avoid the edge for a while, right?
In addition, Odom and Xiaojia have also strengthened their defense on the field.
After all, if you want to hold this fast flower, even if you change the explosion department, you may not be able to hold the "Russian City Rose", and relying on Kobe Bryant alone, the Lakers are destined to be difficult to limit Rose's offensive launch on the court.
And, in addition to finding a way to restrain Rose, Gallinari also gave Durant, the rib essence, enough physical confrontation.
As long as he can use his elbow, he will never talk nonsense with Durant.
Relying on defense, the Lakers managed to fill in the hole they had dug earlier at the end of the quarter.
At halftime, the score was 65-68.
At halftime, Wang Shuo praised the Lakers' defense in the second half of the second quarter.
This Thunder team is not weak, Wang Shuo knows very well that if the Lakers have been playing so lax in the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, then tonight, the Lakers do have a high probability of overturning at home.
Therefore, under the condition that the players on the field can give full play to their subjective initiative, Wang Shuo feels that he still has to praise the players.
After the break, the game resumed.
Ellis, who had been sitting on the sidelines to recharge in the second quarter, began to explode in this quarter.
Ibaka, who is long all over the body, has a very good frame protection and defensive ability.
In the 11/12 season, Ibaka was even able to average 3.7 blocks per game.
But on this night, because Ibaka was always pinned down by the Lakers' interior on the perimeter, the Thunder's defensive work had to be done by their wings.
Thanks to his excellent static talent, Durant can really interfere with the opposing guard's rim when he is in place.
As a defensive expert, Sephorosa is not only excellent in individual defense, but also in his ability to assist in defense.
But tonight, Ellis unexpectedly changed the way he played on the court......
After breaking into the Thunder's hinterland with the help of teammates' coverage, he frequently connected with outside teammates and assisted Gallinari and Kobe Bryant to score.
In fact, Ellis's passing awareness on the field is not bad.
Just most of the time...... Suddenly too fast, he wanted to pass but couldn't find his teammates to pass.
But tonight, in the face of the Thunder's defensive system, which still relies more on personal talent, Ellis, who has always imagined in his mind that the picture of Wang Shuo scolding Jordan to cry, has completed the breakthrough for the Lakers by taking the initiative to slow down.
It turns out that there are a lot of stories in the NBA, and they are all rumors indeed.
On this night, Barnes' story will be believed by Lakers players.
Mainly because Wang Shuo's prestige has already spread all over the world.
On the sidelines, as the game went on, after glancing at the technical statistics, Mike Malone said with a puzzled face: "Has Kevin scored 20 points tonight?"
Why do I always feel like he doesn't score much on the court? ”
Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Kevin's style has always been like this, no matter how you target him, he can steadily contribute points to the team on the field. ”
Historically, the 09/10 season would be Durant's first leading scoring season.
But it's true......
If you don't look at the post-game highlights, Durant's score on the court, you really can't feel it, he is a top scorer who can contribute 30+ per game.
It is not until the second stage of cultivation is completed in the future that Durant's presence on the court will become obvious as that of the "Grim Reaper" and playing someone as a background board in the finals.
In a sense, Durant is indeed the kind of player whose teammates are stronger, the stronger he is.
Isn't that the way it should be, one might say?
A: In basketball games, because there is always only one basketball, many top stars are really not the stronger their teammates, the stronger they are.
For example, the classic set of "Demon God Emperor Buddha Shark......
In fact, anyone who knows a little about the game can see that this lineup is not compatible at all.
But Durant is different.
If you insert Durant into this "Demon God Emperor Buddha Shark" lineup, you will find that the other four players on the court will benefit from it.
Because Durant, who can play output without controlling the ball for a long time, can not only score on his own, but also draw enough offensive space for his teammates.
But Durant also has his own weaknesses.
That is, despite the early stage of his career, Durant can also play about 40 minutes per game on average, and his style of play will theoretically be much less physical than "blasting stream".
But Durant, in Wang Shuo's memory, has only 34 shots in a single game.
There is no doubt that Durant is definitely the best slap in the face for fans who advocate the uselessness of the number of shots, as long as everyone can pick 50 times like Kobe, and anyone can score 81 points.
Because of the basketball game, you can't shoot high, and no matter how high the scoring efficiency is, it is doomed that your critical injury ceiling cannot be high.
And, who said that anyone can pick 40 or 50 times in an NBA game?
On the court, in the third quarter of the game, when Rose was held down by the influence of physical fitness, and Durant's explosive injury could not make up for the offensive ceiling of the Lakers and Thunder, the Lakers successfully established a 15-point lead in the final quarter of the game.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Curry replaced Ellis, and stopped the Thunder with two consecutive three-pointers from the Lakers.
This Lakers team returned to waves in the game, but in Wang Shuo's eyes, this is definitely the team he has ever led, with the highest theoretical output ceiling.
For example, in the first half of this quarter, the Thunder, who sent Durant, Harden, and Rose at the same time, finally forced the score of the two teams back to about ten points.
But with Kobe Bryant on the court, the Thunder had to send someone to take care of Kobe......
"Moe God" Curry immediately hit two more three-pointers from the outside.
Then, under the influence of physical energy, as soon as the Thunder's offensive efficiency dropped, the Lakers directly killed the game through a wave of conversion offense.
CCTV, Director Zhang said with emotion: "The Lakers are really going for the championship this year, and the Knicks have to be careful of the Lakers who are rising strongly this year." ”
On the side, Yu Jia said: "The Lakers' offense did leave a pretty impressive impression on this night, Director Zhang, in your opinion, if they meet, how should the Knicks limit the Lakers' outside offense?" ”
Hearing this, after smiling slightly, Director Zhang hurriedly pulled the topic to the United Arab Emirates, and said, "Actually, the United Arab Emirates played quite well tonight."
I just looked at the technical statistics, and the UAE has already scored 15 points and 7 rebounds for the Thunder without making free throws on 7-of-10 shooting. ”
Yes, Coach Zhang understands the ball.
But that doesn't mean he can figure out how the Knicks should deal with the Lakers in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Director Zhang, who has an experienced narrator, knows how to deal with this kind of embarrassing scene.
In the end, with the final quarter timer going to zero, the score was fixed at 119-135.
Bryant scored a total of 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists for the Lakers in this game, and his performance was mediocre.
Curry who came off the bench and Gallinari, who started the game, scored 22 and 19 points, respectively.
Ellis, who gave the Lakers the winning point in the third quarter, contributed 18 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.
Jr. and Odom combined for a "double triple-double" of 17 points, 19 rebounds and 13 assists.
After the game, at the press conference, Wang Shuo, who knew that it was time to build momentum for Kobe Bryant's regular season MVP, said helplessly: "Kobe Bryant has played too much 'cancer' this season.
A lot of times I wish he could increase his individual offense, but he'd rather run more off the ball on the court than play more singles on the court for the sake of damn team basketball.
I think you saw it in this game, and he even took the initiative to switch to Derek in the second half of the second quarter.
Truth be told, Kobe Bryant is really the hardest player I've ever seen.
Because if he plays like this, how can he brush up on good stats like stars from other teams? ”
Journalists: "......"
Good guys, we just wanted to praise Kobe, but you sprayed him as a "cancer" first?
What else is it called playing like Kobe Bryant, who is difficult to brush up on good stats like the stars of other teams?
No doubt.
Wang Shuo's new way of complimenting this day quickly attracted the resonance of 6 billion ministries around the world on the Internet!
The Los Angeles media appealed to Kobe Bryant after the game: "Stop thinking about how to pass the ball, Kobe, you need more individual offense!"
Otherwise, how can you compete for the regular season MVP in this league full of brushes? ”
In the market, more and more fans began to cry out for Kobe, thinking that he was completely delayed by Jackson before.
There are even many Comi who used Kobe's various high-level excels this season as examples, thinking that the reason why Kobe Bryant was sprayed with low efficiency before was only because Jackson's offensive tactics were not very efficient.
Actually, this is also the case.
Whether it is the Bulls or the Lakers, the "Zen Master" mainly relies on defense to win.
Then by dragging the game into a critical moment, and then using the individual abilities of Jordan, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, etc., to solve the battle.
Although the triangle offensive can also be called a "supergiant tactic......
According to the "Zen Master" himself, he can unleash the maximum energy of the star of his team.
But in fact, the tactic that can really make the star release the most energy has to be the sewer.
This was only a few years before the beginning of the century.
As long as there is a certain ability to discriminate, it is impossible for the Lakers to think that the Lakers at the beginning of the century are playing well with the current Lakers.
Because this season, when Kobe Bryant was reluctant to go to the waters, the Lakers, who mainly played pass-and-cut coordination, not only played a gorgeous game, but also played a more beautiful technical statistics panel except for the collective sacrificed No. 4 position.
"Zen Master" is miserable now.
Because the Lakers fans who were still grateful to him for leading the Lakers to win two consecutive championships at the beginning of the century thought that if it weren't for him, O'Neal and Kobe would definitely lead the Lakers to higher achievements back then.
With Wang Shuo's encouragement, Jackson, who was originally only at odds with Kobe, has been pushed to the opposite side of all Lakers fans.
And the NBA headquarters, in the case of Kobe's wind reviews, Stern is also happy to see Kobe become the regular season MVP this season.
After all, for the stars he has personally held, Stern has never abandoned or given up.
As long as there is value, it must be squeezed dry.
……
In November, the Lakers, who started the new season, finally finished with a 13-2 record in November.
Counting the two wins at the end of October, the Lakers currently lead the West with a 15-2 record.
In November, the two games that the Lakers lost had no value in Wang Shuo's eyes.
Because of the Lakers' way of playing......
In addition, there are still newcomers in the team who need to level up, and Wang Shuo was mentally prepared for the Lakers to lose the game this season.
On December 1, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the major awards in November.
November's Western Conference Player of the Month was won by Kobe Bryant.
In 15 games for the Lakers in November, Bryant averaged 30.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.
Originally, Wang Shuo, who wanted Kobe to try to challenge the "30+ triple-double in the season", also gave up this idea as the season deepened.
Because in terms of Kobe's own choice of play at the moment, he does have a perfect balance with this Lakers team.
This can also be seen in Kobe's shooting percentage in November.
In November, Bryant shot 49.8 percent overall from the field and 34.8 percent from three-point range.
In the vast majority of the Lakers' games, Bryant's efficiency was quite impressive.
The only fly in the ointment is that Kobe, who is always forced by Wang Shuo to carry out some unreasonable offenses on the court, occasionally reminds Kobe of their lost youth.
In addition, November's Western Conference Rookie of the Month was also won by Stephen Curry.
Curry averaged 20.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game for the Lakers in November.
He shot 48.6 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from three-point range.
Curry's three-point shooting rate is slightly lower than that of the same period in Wang Shuo's memory, which is related to the fact that Wang Shuo has made Curry score more on the court in this life.
In 15 games in November, Curry made 111 three-point attempts, hitting 46 of them.
In Wang Shuo's memory, when he averaged more than 8 three-point shots per game in his career, Curry was the only player in the NBA who could maintain a career three-point shooting rate of more than 40%.
Therefore, in Wang Shuo's view, unless he has a problem with his brain, as long as Curry plays, he must be picked.
And how can an average of 7.4 three-point shots per game be enough?
You must know that this season, Wang Shuo's goal for Curry is to average 8 three-pointers per game.
But......
In November, not all players on the Lakers team were having a good time.
Danny Green, for example, shot 28.5 percent from the field and 22.5 percent from three-point range in November.
Although before the start of the regular season, Wang Shuo communicated with Green and encouraged him to try more three-point points in the game.
But......
Even so, Green couldn't help but doubt himself after the first month of the new season.
In North Carolina, Green as captain is not only the team's most important defensive gatekeeper, but his projection is also the key to North Carolina's breakthrough on the court.
Available in the NBA ......
Green found that he didn't seem to be able to play at all.
If this continues, Green is worried that he will be cut by the Lakers at any time.
After all, it's not the same as DeRozan's noble lottery show.
Green is well aware that he's just an inconspicuous second-round pick.
In the NBA, except for the 2000 rookie class, most of the time, the pick you are selected by the team also determines how many resources the team will give you in the early stage.
In Green's opinion, the Lakers, who are aiming for a championship, will not give themselves too much patience.
So, after playing in November...... How could Green not panic about the failing answer sheet he handed in?
Fortunately, Wang Shuo saw what Green was thinking, and took the initiative to find him after the Lakers' training session on the 1st, "Danny, I see that you haven't been very happy lately, have you encountered something?" ”
Hearing this, Green smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, I just feel that when I play, I will always drag the team back." ”
Looking at Green, Wang Shuo smiled and said, "What's this?" Back then, I thought your senior, Michael Jordan, was dragging down the Wizards on the court. ”
At this moment, Green's eyes widened.
And Wang Shuo said after a pause: "Don't believe it, I told your senior back then that if he could play a few fewer games in the regular season, the Wizards would definitely become the first team to break the best record in the Bulls' regular season history." ”
In fact, over time, Green has been doing a lot better in training recently than he did before.
Wang Shuo knows very well that the reason why Green is difficult to play well in the game is mainly because of his other senior, Vince Carter, who invisibly gave an inexplicable pressure to the North Carolina juniors who later entered the league.
Because Carter, whose EQ is likely to be only one-ten-thousandth of Kobe Bryant, once said: North Carolina people either become superstars or get out of the league.
Maybe when he said this, Carter was just trying to pretend.
But as this famous quote becomes more and more popular, it also leads to many players from North Carolina who will always be stimulated by the media with this sentence when they don't play well.
Wang Shuo knew that Green could only play better if he unloaded his psychological baggage, so he patted Green on the back and said, "Danny, you were personally chosen by me."
Even if you don't believe in yourself, don't you believe in my vision? ”
Seeing this, no matter how stupid Green was, he knew that Wang Shuo was hinting at him, and he didn't have to worry about his future.
So, after glancing at Wang Shuo gratefully, Green said, "Thank you, Chief.
I will definitely redouble my efforts to live up to your expectations of me! ”
