Chapter 40: Hawaiian Training Camp, Zen Masters, and Triangle Attack

"Hawaii?"

After receiving a text message from the Lakers' uniform team, Doon was told that this year's Lakers training camp was not held in Los Angeles, but instead chose Hawaii.

In fact, back in the show time, the Lakers held training camps in Hawaii several times.

It can be said that this training camp will not be too serious and too intense, but will be more relaxed, just like team building and vacation.

After receiving the text message, Doon ended today's training session early.

With five days to go until the start of training camp in Hawaii, Doon is ready to take a good break in the next few days.

It's not a good thing to practice hard all the time, and the combination of work and rest is the right way.

After all, in order to adapt to the training intensity, digest the template as soon as possible, and at the same time avoid injuries, and speed up muscle recovery, Doon is still taking growth hormone.

Growth hormone can't be taken every day, and it has to be stopped for a while every once in a while.

Doon is ready to wait for the regular season to start before continuing to take his pills.

Although the preseason starts immediately, as a rookie, he often doesn't get much playing time in the first half.

This means that in the preseason, Doon will only play half a game at most, and the consumption of the game is not too large.

Only in the regular season, due to the intensity of the game and the absence of O'Neal, may require Doon to play more time and lead the bench to an advantage.

At this time, it is necessary to increase growth hormone to increase physical strength and body recovery.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye.

Doon attended the Hawaii training camp held by the Lakers as scheduled at the agreed time and place.

"Shaq, when were you discharged from the hospital? Don't say a word, can you go to the ground now? ”

O'Neal showed up in the training camp, which was something Doon didn't expect.

What he didn't expect was that O'Neill was neither in a wheelchair nor on crutches, but was able to walk normally without anyone around to help him.

"Haha, bro, don't you miss Shaq so much?

Shaq misses you and the other brothers too, so Shaq came to the camp and supported you in your training.

Shaq will not abandon you, Shaq will always be with you. ”

When O'Neill sees Doon, he giggles and plays with treasure.

When O'Neill came up with open arms, Doon suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Damn, Shaq, are you fat again? You're so fat, can you still play next season? ”

Doon suddenly realized that O'Neill in front of him was no longer a big shark or a fathead fish, but a huge fat catfish!

O'Neill in front of him is obviously a lot fatter than before.

Although most NBA players will recuperate in the offseason, after all, after playing the regular season and playoffs, they will definitely lose pounds.

However, it is not like O'Neill, who is as fat as a pig.

"Where am I fat? Shaq wasn't fat at all! O'Neal was a little unhappy when he heard Doon say this, but he didn't look angry.

"Shaq had a successful operation and will definitely be able to play next season.

It's just that at present, only the bones and wounds have healed, and they can go to the ground for the time being, but they can't play games yet.

Neither does workout! The doctor told me that my toes could not withstand too much strenuous movement and that I would probably need to recuperate for another three or four months.

Shaq was injured in the game, so he also needs time to recover!

You say, don't you? My little brother! ”

In order not to lose weight, in order to be lazy, O'Neill said things that were reasonable to himself, but to outsiders it sounded more brain-dead.

"Don't let Old Bass hear you, or they won't renew your contract."

Given that he was currently getting along fairly well with O'Neill, Doon reminded O'Neal.

When O'Neill heard this, he also came back to his senses and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Old Buss was originally complaining about him because he made too much money, and the Lakers were under a lot of pressure.

Now that he has not signed a new contract extension, how dare O'Neill be presumptuous?

To put it bluntly, for O'Neal, who is already entering the late stage of his career, the contract is more important than the championship.

Of course, it would be great if you could win both the contract and the championship.

"Okay, I'll take notice. I will listen to your advice and try to lose weight as much as possible before I come back. ”

O'Neill patted his chest and assured Doon.

Doon, though, didn't believe O'Neill would do that.

Three-year-olds look big, seven-year-olds look old. The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change!

Just like Thompson, he barely practiced much in the offseason.

Every year, in the first half of the regular season, Tieguanyin trains on behalf of the competition, and slowly finds his feel and competitive state.

The same is true of O'Neill's personality, he can be lazy and never practice hard.

O'Neill played in college for three years and mastered almost all the inside skills.

The Magic Hatchlings are similar to Duncan, with hook hands, throws, boards, inside footsteps, and can dribble in front of Jordan and show off their dribble frame jumpers.

But as time went on, the physical advantage grew, and O'Neal found a more effortless, convenient, and efficient way to score.

That is, when facing the bag of two or three players, it is still to play with the back, or rely on strength, and completely solve all the opponent's defenses with dunks.

With O'Neill's current style of play, the weight gain will only increase his status dominance!

As for increasing physical exertion and increasing the risk of injury, how could O'Neill care?

As long as he can get a big contract and a championship, the rest of O'Neal doesn't matter.

"Alright, let's go in first! Let Shaq take you to meet Daddy Phil! ”

O'Neill obviously recognized the Zen master and directly called the Zen master "Daddy".

Just like all the members of the Dream Team call Chuck Daley Daddy Daley.

It is worth mentioning that Daley, who coaches the Pistons Bad Boy Army, is the most ruthless against Jordan!

Let Jordan see blood, that's what Daley himself said. However, when Jordan saw Daley, he always repaid his grievances with virtue and maintained his admiration.

"Daddy Phil, Shaq brought Doon to you!"

When I came to the locker room, I saw that a group of players had gathered around the Zen master, and they all followed the Zen master to close their eyes and meditate.

Looking at this posture, the Zen master does have the taste of being a master.

Doon had been exposed to meditation classes in college, and in order to reduce the effect of being too excited and unable to sleep after the competition, Doon not only took melatonin, but also occasionally meditated before bed.

As for the effect, it can only be said that it does not work from time to time, and there is a feeling that if you believe it, you will not believe it.

"Shaq, Doon, you're here? Be quiet, don't affect them, let's get out! ”

Hearing O'Neill's shouting, the Zen master was not angry, but just got up and led O'Neill and Doon to the side office to chat for a while.

The first time they met, the Zen master and Doon seemed a little strange, and they didn't say a few words.

Just told Doane to go next door to find Rambis in a while and ask for videos related to the Lakers' offensive and defensive tactics.

Seeing that the Zen master didn't like to take care of him, Doon felt a little uncomfortable.

But it's normal, Doon is still a rookie, and it's useless to be a little more famous.

Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant all have to bow their heads in front of the Zen master, how can a big man like a Zen master, one of the top basketball coaches, look down on Doane?

Besides, Doon was not in the Zen Master's plan to compete for the championship in the first place.

As early as playing in the summer league, Doon had actually guessed a little.

Seeing Rambis again, Rambis is more enthusiastic about Doon.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing! Rambis knows exactly how much Doon is capable of!

Knowing that it was the Zen master who asked Doon to come over, Rambis quickly handed over a bunch of tapes to Doon.

"It's all offense? Is there no defense? Doon asked curiously.

"Five points make 23 triangles, and the position and size of the triangles change as the players run," Lambis said with a smile.

As far as I know, very few people will be able to master the triangle offensive in half a year.

Even role players have fewer things to do to execute their tactics, and they tend to run out and faint when it comes to the game.

What we ask of you is to be at the heart of the triangle offense, so study hard and don't let us down. ”

Subsequently, Rambis briefly explained to Doon that the basic of the triangle attack is 23 sets of tactics.

Because of the player configuration - the triangle offense has higher passing requirements for players who hold the ball outside the three-point line, the ball in the corner position, and the ball in the low position.

Therefore, it is common to omit the tactics of role players holding the ball, and reduce the 23 sets of tactics to seven or eight sets of tactics for actual combat.

Then, from these seven or eight sets of tactics, we will further develop and deduce, and each set will add two or three changes, and turn them into twenty or thirty daily training tactics again.

Now in this pile of tapes, there are more than 20 triangle offensive tactics built with the OK combination as the core.

In addition, there are also common blocking and dismantling, breaking, passing and cutting tactics, and the triangle offensive technique is derived from various basic tactics.

After listening to Rambis's explanation, Doon understood why Jordan needed Pippen and Kobe needed Gasol, mainly because Pippen and Gasol had the ability to pass and respond when holding the ball in a high position.

I also understand why Kobe Bryant plays in the low post, and O'Neal will feel uncomfortable, after all, Kobe Bryant went to the low post, and O'Neal has to run high.

It's also because the triangle offense is varied and the running position is quite complicated.

If a rookie doesn't understand the triangle tactics and rushes on the court, there is a high chance that he will have a traffic accident on the court and collide with his teammates.

In this way, instead of increasing the team's offensive efficiency, the triangle attack may be counterproductive.

Rambis told Doon that the top priority was to memorize as much of the basic movement of the triangle offense as possible in the month leading up to the regular season.

As for defensive tactics, if you are interested, you can learn slowly, but as a core player, you don't need to learn so much.

Because defensive tactics are more numerous and more redundant than offensive tactics!

Defensive tactics do not depend on the team itself, but are adjusted according to the opponent's offensive tactics and offensive characteristics.

The key to defending is to break the move, to limit the opposition's core players.

For players who focus on offense rather than defense, even if they master hundreds of defensive tactics, the benefits are not very great, because they are often not used.

Regarding the defensive part of the team, either the head coach of the team himself attaches great importance to defense and pays more attention to it.

Like Larry Brown, obsessive-compulsive to the point of asking players to measure their runs with a ruler.

The vast majority of the remaining head coaches are handed over to defensive coaches or other assistant coaches.

Usually, the night before the game, the assistant coach studies the opponent's tactics, makes a targeted defensive set-up, and then lets the players watch the video on their own, and then waits for the warm-up game on the next day's game day to rehearse and it's done.

Of course, in the team's daily training, there will still be basic defensive and tactical training.

In fact, long before entering the NBA, Zen Master started by defense in the CBA league in the United States and won the best coach.

Zen masters have high attainments in offensive and defensive tactics, but they have high emotional intelligence, know how to delegate authority, and know how to give teaching assistants opportunities to perform.

It's like the superstars who respected the Dream Team with Chuck Daley, and the Olympics didn't call a timeout.

Many times, in order to express respect for Jordan, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and others, Zen masters will not rashly call a timeout, unless the game situation is really tense.

With the help of Rambis's mouth, Doon knew a little more about the Zen master, and the resentment in his heart disappeared.

"Triangle Attack! It looks like the new season is going to be interesting! ”

It's never a bad thing to learn more tactics!

Someone directs a teammate to defend the air, someone directs a teammate to defend and defend himself......
