In February, the Lakers ended their final road trip of the season with a five-game winning streak.

On the 28th, the Lakers returned to their home arena to face the Nuggets at Staples Center.

In this game, Anthony continued his previous mental state in the fight with the Lakers, as if he had a "father-killing vendetta with Kobe".

Unlike Ajan, who previously used the confrontation with Kobe as the traffic password, in the confrontation with Kobe, Anthony didn't care who won or lost in the post-game Excel between him and Kobe.

He only cares, whether he can kill Kobe Bryant or not!

With the blessing of the idea that no one should live, on the evening of the 28th, Anthony made only 4 of 18 shots, and barely got 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists by relying on free throws.

As for Kobe Bryant......

It was on this night that Anthony was forced onto the stage and played a song "The Little Blacksmith of Milan" with him.

In the whole game, Bryant made only 3 of 15 shots, including free throws, and scored a total of 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists.

In the game, Kobe, who felt Anthony's determination, resolutely interrupted the large-scale concert in the second half despite the strong opposition of a group of "true love fans" in the second half, and installed the pass button, leading the Lakers to defeat the Nuggets at home by assisting his teammates.

After the game, when Kobe Bryant shook hands with Anthony, Wang Shuo noticed that Anthony was holding Kobe's small hands at that time, and he refused to let go.

His expression of gritting his teeth and communicating with Kobe Bryant after the game made Wang Shuo subconsciously think of Ma Chao in the New Three Kingdoms:

A thief, a traitor, a traitor, a thief, you return my father-in-law!

Anthony's mental state is really worrying.

And Delon, who has already formed a bond with Curry......

His mental state is also not much better.

In March, when visiting Staples with the Jazz, looking at Curry who was warming up in the Lakers half, Delon could be said to be more and more angry the more he thought about it.

In DeLong's view, whether it is in terms of strength or seniority, he should not be robbed of his Western star starting guard by Curry.

And so it is.

At this time, Delong is already a star defender who has played "20+10" for many consecutive seasons.

And in addition to having a solid figure, Delong's exaggerated "large pendulum change direction" is also very ornamental.

In Delong's eyes......

In addition to the fact that the Jazz in Utah cannot be compared with the Lakers in Los Angeles in terms of influence, he was counterattacked by Curry in the All-Star voting because he did not fight Curry in "Fight Dad".

There's nothing wrong with Delong's idea.

Because most of the time, your popularity in the NBA isn't necessarily proportional to your hard power.

As a result, the combination of the above factors is that DeLong's dissatisfaction with the Jazz and Sloan exploded early.

After the Celebrity Weekend, Delon said in an interview that he was tired of Sloan's pick-and-roll system and hoped the team would lay out more one-on-one tactics for himself.

Logically, DeLong's appeal does not seem to be a big deal on the surface.

Because against most of the guards in the league at the moment, Delon really doesn't need to block and pick to complete the strong eat.

In addition, because of this life, Sloan borrowed a lot of off-ball blocking and dismantling tactics led by Wang Shuo......

So this will also indirectly lead to Deron will be like Iverson back then, Ellis and Curry at this moment, and he will have to give the ball to the team's interior to organize when necessary.

Yes, whether it is the Wizards, the Suns, the Knicks or the current Lakers, the point guard of Wang Shuo's team must make certain sacrifices for the team's smooth passing and cutting coordination.

At that time in the Suns, Wang Shuo's solution to this problem was to let Iverson be responsible for a large number of final passes, and through tactical design and staggered peak travel, Iverson's ball-holding offense was mainly concentrated in a certain period of time.

But overall, Iverson still can't compare to the amount of time he spent with the ball under Larry Brown.

However, among the four quarterbacks, Iverson, who has long been the same name as Kobe, is also a player who is willing to play without the ball and can play without the ball.

And this also made the Suns under Wang Shuo not only shine in the season with their gorgeous offense and Spanish blocking, but Iverson also won the 03/04 season scoring and assist king.

At the same time, his good brothers Xiao Si and Marion also benefited from this, playing a more beautiful technical statistics board.

As a top-tier coach, Sloan certainly knows how to make DeLong play better technical stats.

Otherwise, with this Jazz team interspersed with a large number of Spanish blocks, how could DeLong still be able to play "20+10" Excel for many years in a row?

But here's the problem......

Does Delon have the physical strength of Iverson and the ability to stay fit with the drastic changes that make your knees cry and your ankles cry over time?

In Wang Shuo's previous life, after leaving Jazz, DeLong used his later career experience to prove that the reason why Sloan has always been of use to him is to save ......

That's because Sloan, who led Malone and Stockton in his early years, knew very well that if basketball players want to stay healthy for a long time, coaches must strictly control how often these superstars use these high-level technical moves on the court.

Delong's "drastic pendulum change" is indeed so handsome that he has no friends.

But, at what cost?

Since Delon was drafted by the Jazz, Sloan has often advised Delon not to dunk if he can make a layup in the game, and never to smack his knees if he can use the block to pass people in the game.

Because only in this way can DeLong, as a tank guard, have a longer theoretical peak and a longer career in the NBA.

So, from that aspect......

Ajan really understands it.

Because Ajan, who rarely uses high-level technical moves in competitions, has proved through those 20 years of basic skills that as long as I don't polish my skills, injuries will not find me.

In short, DeLong's public speech after the celebrity weekend can be said to have caught the veteran Sloan off guard.

After DeLong's speech, Sloan immediately approached DeLong, hoping to meet with DeLong.

However......

During this interview, DeLong expressed his impatience directly to Sloan in response to Sloan's admonition.

That's enough!

Jerry, stop instilling in me your team basketball philosophy!

Did you know that I've been robbed of the All-Star starting guard spot by a rookie this year?

What I need now is better technical stats, and more career masterpieces!

On the day of the interview, looking at DeLong with an impatient face, Sloan continued to say bitterly: "Everyone has their own limits of ability, Delong, what you need to do now is to calm down and ......"

Hearing this, DeLong glanced at Sloane and said, "Calm down, sink down, every time you turn over and over these words."

Yes, everyone has their own limits of ability, so Jerry...... Have you ever thought that it is because of your poor coaching ability that the Jazz have never won a championship? ”

Back then, after being defeated by Jordan and the Bulls in the finals for two consecutive years, he was still able to stay strong, and said to his disciples with a smile that it was a big deal to start all over again.

Back then, after Malone left and Stockton retired, he was still able to calmly tell the Jazz management that it was okay, and in a few years we will definitely return to the playoffs The legendary NBA coach, Jerry Sloan, the head coach of a thousand lives......

On the day of the interview with DeLong, the young defender he has always regarded as his own successfully broke the defense.

Frustrated, Sloan then missed all of the Jazz's games for the remainder of February due to personal health reasons.

It wasn't until March 2, when the Jazz visited Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers, that Sloan regained his strength.

Because no matter what, Sloan wants to lead the Jazz through the season.

But at this moment, Sloane has long lost the luster of his past.

Before the game, when the players of the two teams warmed up on the field, looking at the decadent Sloane, Wang Shuo, who knew that his life was likely to be unhappy recently, shook hands with him as usual and said: "Jerry, wait for this game to have a supper with me after the game." ”

Sloane did not refuse Wang Shuo's kindness.

Although DeLong has been broken down, Sloan still has a few details about the Spanish pick-and-roll that he would like to ask Wang Shuo for.

So now the question is, after losing the control from the old coach Sloan, can Deron Williams really find his way back to the court in front of Stephen Curry in this game against the Lakers, as he thought?

A: Not to mention that in the NBA, even Michael Jordan would scold Kobe Bryant after his game.

Even if there is no Kobe Bryant in this game to help Curry defend Delon......

DeLong also had a hard time finding his way back in front of Curry.

Because the NBA's ecosystem is so interesting.

Just like Paul had to get a good beating from Delon no matter how hard he racked his brains.

In the face of De Chubby, Curry also has his own knack.

If nothing else, Curry's unstoppable off-ball running in the game......

How did Delong, who is a tank-type defender, follow?

How do you keep DeLong focused when defending?

And once Delon's physical strength is severely depleted when defending, how can he ensure that he can hit every shot he takes?

Plus, as Sloan said.

Everyone has their own limits of ability.

No matter how handsome the "pendulum style is greatly outstanding", Delong himself can find out after a few more uses, and before his knee can alarm him, his physical groove will be emptied by himself.

In Wang's previous life, DeLong's career high single-game score was 57 points after he was later traded to the Nets.

In that game, Delon shot 16 of 29, including 4 of 11 three-pointers and 21 of 21 free throws.

Wang Shuo believes that after that match, Delong will definitely have a feeling of raising his eyebrows at that time.

But after that season, DeLong will find out...... His season scoring averages haven't increased much because of the unlimited firing rights he received with the Nets.

And, in the season when Delon scored 57 points in a single game with the Nets, he played in only 55 games for the Nets, the lowest attendance rate of his career at the time.

And then, there is no then.

Because as injuries continue to come to the door, except for the occasional bullying of Paul to remind people that he is still active in the NBA, DeLong after the 12/13 season is no longer a star guard.

And you must know that Delong at that time was only 28 years old.

Generally speaking, 28 years old is a good year for basketball players.

On the evening of the 2nd, under the personal guard of Kobe, who had just been elected the Western Conference's Player of the Month in February, Delong Williams, who tried to rely on more individual offense in the game to play better statistics, finally handed over 2 of 14 shots in the game, plus free throws to only get 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 8 turnovers.

After the last game against the Nuggets, Kobe Bryant, who was almost pinched by Anthony with his own small hand like Jordan, sprinkled all his anger in the last game on Delon.

On the court, with Delon being hit hard, the Jazz's offense was chaotic, and when defending, teammates were also dissatisfied with Dellon's defensive attitude that would always spread their hands and complain......

And so it was......

Before the game, Delon, who was once ambitious to find the court in front of Curry, once again helped Curry make a name for himself in the fight against him.

Although in this game, Curry only made 9 of 15 shots from the field, and only got 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists including free throws and three-pointers.

But in people's eyes, in the game, Curry played Deron as easily as eating and sleeping.

And most crucially......

The Jazz finished with the Lakers with a score of 85-145.

In the NBA, which has always been a mutual explosion league where you explode me and I explode you, if it is just a "counterpoint" and has not played Curry, then Delon's fans can still find an angle to help Delong.

But on this night, the Jazz set a record for the largest loss margin in team history under the leadership of Delon......

DeLong was destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

During the game, Wang Shuo noticed that Delon had also turned his attention to the Jazz's bench many times.

But it's obvious......

Sloan didn't want to control DeLong on this game.

However, after the game, even though Derond had to bear the main responsibility for the Jazz's humiliating defeat, the veteran coach Sloan still tearfully took the initiative to shoulder everything.

At the press conference, in an interview, Sloan told the media that it was his incompetence that led to the Jazz's fiasco.

At the end of this season, he will voluntarily resign and officially step down as the head coach of the Jazz.

Since coaching the Jazz in 1988/1989, Sloan has been with the Jazz for 22 seasons.

Hence Sloane's statement at the press conference......

From Jazz management to Jazz fans, it immediately felt like the sky was falling.

"Don't persuade me, I'm 68 years old.

A lot of times, I feel like I'm not able to do it myself.

But before I leave the NBA, I want to ask you a little bit of advice...... A couple of tactical details that I haven't been able to figure out. ”

After the press conference, while having supper with Wang Shuo, Sloan, who had decided to leave the rest of his life to his family, said to him in the face of Wang Shuo's retention.

Hearing this, Wang Shuo was naturally ashamed of Sloan's advice.

However, as Wang Shuo answered the doubts in his heart, the old handsome Sloan suddenly showed an innocent and bright smile like a child.

Because in Wang Shuo's review, Sloan found ......

The problems that had been bothering him were not problems at all.

It's just that the Jazz's family background determines that the Jazz can't find the most suitable player on the market to implement Sloan's tactical philosophy.

"Will this Lakers be able to bring my vision to life?" After looking up at the sky for a long time, Sloane suddenly looked at Wang Shuo and said.

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "I think in this year's playoffs, you can see your tactical ideas."

At that point, I'm going to call it 'Jerry Sloan Pick-and-Roll.'" ”

Sloane was amused and said, "You must not lie to me, a bad old man. ”

Wang Shuo smiled: "Jerry, you know, I have never broken my trust in others. ”

In Wang Shuo's view, the biggest feature of Sloan's pick-and-roll is that he can use the individual ability of his own stars better than the Spanish pick-and-roll.

In Sloan's tactical design, because DeLong, who is responsible for holding the ball, is a guard with strong single-point blasting ability, in the process of the team's secondary blocking, Sloan's blocking and dismantling requires both sides to quickly pull away to create enough space for his own blaster.

There are similar tactics in the Spanish pick-and-roll, but more rely on passing to finish the game.

In Wang Shuo's eyes, the main reason why the Jazz can't avoid that DeLong will still encounter a pinchback when executing Sloan's blocking and pick-and-roll is that this Jazz, whether it is Matthews or Myers, cannot create more pressure on the opponent.

But this Lakers can.

Because when Kobe Bryant is responsible for holding the ball on the court and launching Sloan's pick-and-roll, as long as the opponent's attention is attracted by Kobe, Curry is bound to make every opponent of the Lakers pay for it.

Moreover, the core of the Lakers' interior organization is also more top-level than the Jazz.

Therefore, according to Sloan's pick-and-roll design, when the Lakers make a secondary pick-and-roll, Kobe Bryant does not have to personally launch the attack.

Instead, he can choose to return the ball to his interior playmaker, who pulls him to the wing to cover Curry.

At this time, under the Lakers' continuous off-ball blocking and running dismantling, the opponent's defense is bound to be chaotic.

If the opponent wants to use infinite defense to target the Lakers' off-ball blocking, then Wang Shuo can directly create opportunities for his own guards to play small and big on the court according to the changes in Sloan's blocking.

No doubt.

In this moment, in addition to feeling the imagination of Sloan's legendary coach, he used to block and roll......

Wang Shuo also felt the love that Sloan had instilled in Delong in this set of tactics.

Because if this Jazz can be equipped with all the parts needed to launch this tactic according to Sloan's vision......

Not only can DeLong put up better stats on the court as he would like.

Other than that......

In this tactical system, Delong's personal ability will also be infinitely amplified.

Yes, Sloan does often choose to "suffer a little harder" in the game.

But with this tactical system called Sloan's pick-and-roll......

Wang Shuo found that Sloan, who is not good at marketing, actually cares about Delong's feelings more than anyone else.

Admittedly, the Utah-based Jazz really can't give Delon more exposure.

But if he could, who's to say Sloan didn't want Deron to play better stats on the court?

Wang Shuo knows very well that this set of Sloanes, which almost theoretically integrates all the high-level covers of modern basketball and can maximize the power output of his own guards......

Once it comes out, it will be a king bomb.

Especially when this Lakers team has both Kobe Bryant and Curry!

So on this day, Sloan may not believe it when he says it.

In Wang Shuo's eyes, if the Lakers can win the championship this year, then Sloan is definitely one of the behind-the-scenes heroes behind the Lakers' ability to win the championship.

Wang Shuo will not only use this tactic in this year's playoffs, but he is also confident that this set of Sloan pick-and-roll tactics will become a milestone in modern basketball pick-and-roll tactics.

In March, after tearfully accepting the gift from Sloane, Wang Shuo immediately arranged for the players to do a lot of practice in the Lakers' training session.

On this day, looking at the unrestrained cooperation of the Lakers players on the training court, Mike Malone said with a surprised face: "You are definitely a genius, Wang!"

I've been looking at this set of tactics for several days and haven't thought of a way to crack it! ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Mike, the genius is not me, but Jerry Sloan.

I had a better hand, but it never occurred to me that we still had potential in pick-and-roll tactics. ”

Ma Long shook his head and retorted to Wang Shuo: "I don't deny that Jerry Sloan's tactics fit us very well.

But Wang, do you know what is the hardest thing for a manager? ”

Wang Shuo spread his hands.

After a pause, Malone said: "In my opinion, the most difficult thing for a manager of a team is undoubtedly to think about constantly reinventing his tactics when the team continues to be successful.

Absorb more tactics from others, digest them, and add them to your own tactical reserves.

Wang, let alone in the field of basketball, even in various competitive sports, I have never seen anyone like you, who can continue to overturn the theories that have helped me achieve success when I have achieved success. ”

On the side, Director Lu also very much agrees with Mike Malone's statement.

Director Lu, who has been studying with Wang Shuo for more than half a year, smiled and said, "If my guess is right, we shouldn't use this tactic in the next regular season, right?" ”

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, Tyranny, I don't want to give our opponents a chance to study us. ”

Training is training, competition is competition.

No matter how good a set of tactics is, it must be honed by actual competitions.

But for Wang Shuo, who is quite confident in the quality of the Lakers' training, if he can, he does plan to use Sloan to block and dismantle in the Finals to surprise the Lakers' Finals opponents.

In March, in the sprint stage of the regular season, while digesting Sloan's blocking, the Lakers were also reaping one victory after another on the court like chopping melons and vegetables.

Before the regular season entered the final stage of April, the Lakers led the league with a 60-14 record.

In April, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the major awards in the East and West in March.

Bryant was once again named the Western Conference's Player of the Month.

Curry was named the Western Conference's Rookie of the Month for five months in a row.

This season, "Hook" seems to be the biggest winner.

Previously, Kobe, who was scolded by Wang Shuo, was angry and did not interfere with the new sneaker design he launched after winning the dunk king again after thirteen years.

And then......

With the launch of this purple gold trim, purple-themed sneakers that meet the public's aesthetics, the sneaker market immediately gave the most enthusiastic response.

This sneaker, which became a hit when it was launched, not only made the "hook" make a lot of money, but also made Kobe Bryant doubt his life.

But speaking out is not afraid to hit Kobe.

Historically...... Until Wang Shuo crossed over, the sneakers that he had changed their designs did not sell as well as those that had not been designed by him.

After all, it doesn't matter if you like Kobe Bryant......

In terms of Kobe's unique aesthetics, the vast majority of Komi has the same cognition as Kohei.

In addition, Curry, who quickly became popular under Wang Shuo, also made "Hook" feel the charm of the name "Heavenly Choice".

At Wang Shuo's suggestion, the Curry series of boots, officially named "The Chosen One", swept the sneaker market in the first half of this year without any suspense.

Even Kobe Bryant's explosive boots launched after the slam dunk contest can only be ranked behind it.

Although the Curry boots, which used the slogan "both the chosen and the only" as the promotional slogan, the design style is mostly unremarkable.

But the feedback from the sneaker market proves once again......

Classics are classics precisely because these modest sneaker styles have been tested enough by history.

And if nothing else, Curry's "The Chosen One" series can make everyone feel like they are the only slogan after wearing it......

Who wouldn't want to get themselves a whole pair after saving up?

In April, the NBA officially ushered in the final stage of the annual regular season.

With the Knicks already out of motivation for the regular season, the Lakers only need to win four of their last eight regular-season games to seal the 09/10 regular season title early.

On the 2nd, the Lakers traveled to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

In this game, Kobe, who has never had a good relationship with Ray Allen, successfully dragged this "gentleman's sword" into the field of iron.

The two of them combined for 38 shots in the whole game, only 8 hits, and I really did it, I don't feel good, don't think about it.

After winning the championship last year, the Mavericks have clearly lost their motivation in the regular season this year.

In the game, facing Kidd, Wang Shuo did not hesitate to use Ellis and Curry's backcourt partner for most of the game.

As a result, in the face of this backcourt combination, which is arguably the dream of the vast majority of defenders in the league, Kibuki only took five shots after the game, hitting two of them.

In the end, with Ellis and Curry scoring 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists respectively, and 29 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, the Lakers beat the Mavericks 123-110 on the road.

On the 4th, the Lakers returned to their home court to face the Spurs.

Last summer, Parker, who was clamoring to leave the team, finally managed to secure a four-year contract extension worth nearly $70 million.

This season, the Spurs have performed well and are expected to return to the playoffs.

However, the reason why the Spurs can make it back to the playoffs is ......

It's not that Auden, who Popovich has in mind, has cashed in on his talent, but that "Eros" Love has played close to "20+10" this season.

Coupled with George Hill, who the Spurs traded back in the summer of '08, the Spurs have gradually grown this season, and the Spurs, who managed to keep Parker, are expected to return to the playoffs this season.

In fact, Oden has been recovering from an injury since January of this year.

Although Aoshi was averaging 14.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game before the injury, he was still ...... compared to Durant, who had begun to shine in the class of '07

Whether Auden will be able to live up to his talent has been marked with a huge question mark.

In this game against the Spurs, the Lakers won easily at home.

And after the game, Wang Shuo also gave his most sincere wishes to Popovich when he shook hands, hoping that he and his Spurs could make the playoffs this year.

It's a pity that in the eyes of Popovich, who has long had a mortal enmity with Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo's blessing is more like a mockery.

So, do you want to say that Popovich can't compete with Wang Shuo in terms of pattern?

Because where does he know......

Does Wang Shuo sincerely hope that the Spurs can make the playoffs?

After all......

The Spurs can make the playoffs, which means that the Lakers won't have too much trouble in the first round of this year's playoffs.

Because this Lakers team has a group of macho men in charge, Wang Shuo is not worried that Popovich dares to play intrigue in the game with the Lakers.

Unless, Sima Pobo wants the Spurs to be targeted by the league in the future.

And on the 6th and 7th, after defeating the Suns and Hornets successively, the Lakers also officially locked the regular season championship of the 09/10 season four games in advance!

from last season's bottom of the West.

From last season's "Zen Master" when he left, he said, "Even if Wang Shuo comes, he can't save it."

to the first place in the league this season......

Wang Shuo, the god of coaching, has become the idol of all his peers.

The Los Angeles media praised Wang Shuo on this day: "This man has made Los Angeles great again!" ”

……
