NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Early the next morning.

Lin Fei got up early, packed his luggage and immediately boarded the plane with the team to Toronto, Canada!

This game to challenge the Raptors is very important to the Lakers. Vogel and his coaching team are also clearly aware of this. As soon as they got on the plane, Vogel and his coaching team gathered together Discuss the strategy against the Toronto Raptors together.

Under Vogel's repeated requests, Lin Fei was also pulled into the discussion group.

When everyone arrived, Vogel coughed lightly, then took out the tactical board and analyzed the Toronto Raptors' style of play in detail.

"Toronto Raptors, they like to play five-forward lineup, and they like to switch defenses infinitely on the defensive end. On the offensive end, they are good at using the advantages of the five-forward line to punish the opponent's small guards, but on the offensive end, their three-point ability is not very good. Strong, limited by the three-point ability of Barnes and others, their offensive space is not very wide!"

"Guys, that's about all the characteristics of the Toronto Raptors. Their head coach Nurse is a coach with strong tactical qualities. We must cheer up. Come on, everyone, tell us what you think! "

A male assistant coach thought for a moment, stood up and said, "Everyone, our Lakers are good at using a big lineup with James holding the ball. I think we should make good use of our advantages!"

"So my suggestion is to use a big lineup, use the advantages of the big lineup on the defensive end to shrink the inside line, and don't give them the opportunity to attack the small strikers! On the offensive end, use the advantage of the big center to play small inside to punish their strikers! "

After listening to the male assistant's analysis, Vogel nodded slightly: "You are right, everyone, do you have anything else to add?"

After Vogel finished speaking, the scene fell into a moment of silence.

"Hey Lin, do you have any ideas?"

Seeing that no one said a word, Vogel took the initiative to ask Lin Fei who was sitting beside him for advice.

Lin Fei nodded lightly: "I feel that everyone's thinking is a bit simple."

"It is true that a large lineup can play an advantage, but according to James' current physical strength, it is unrealistic to let him attack with the ball for a whole game while ensuring defense. Brogdon must be allowed to reduce his pressure on the ball. !"

"And it's unrealistic for our Howard and thick-browed center to punish their strikers throughout the game."

"Plus this is Brogdon and Hield's first show battle, make sure to give them some role."

"The Raptors are not completely five strikers. Their Van Jordan playing time is not very small. We can reduce the use time of the big lineup during Van Jordan's playing time, allowing Brogdon, Hield and Horton Tower K plays."

Halfway through, Lin Fei paused, and then said: "In fact, the biggest weakness of this Raptors team is that their stars are not good enough. They have Siakam as the core, and Siakam is also a second- and third-team player. , he doesn’t have hard-solution ability, they can’t play against the wind.”

"In addition, Van Jordan's offensive ability is very weak, and he can't hit the ball at all against high-end defenses. Therefore, I think we should strive to open the game score in the first three quarters, improve defensive strength, and use multiple defenses. Change the strategy and strangle them to death!"

Lin Fei is an old fan for more than ten years. In his previous life, he liked to analyze tactics. After becoming the general manager, Lin Fei often consulted with Vogel in his free time. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Fei's current tactical quality has been able to Competent as the chief assistant coach of a team, his analysis is more thorough than ordinary assistant coaches!

This pass's detailed analysis of the Raptors also convinced everyone present.

Especially Vogel, he didn't expect Lin Fei's progress to be so fast!

Listening to Lin Fei's analysis, Vogel's eyes gradually brightened. When Lin Fei finished speaking, Vogel couldn't help but slapped his hands.

"Well said, well said, Mr. Lin Fei, your analysis is very thorough, haha, our basic strategy for this game will be based on what you said, and then we can fill in some details!"

Lin Fei laughed and waved his hands again and again: "It's just my own opinion, I'm laughing at you."

After that, Vogel continued to lead the teaching assistant team to fill in the strategic details.

Lin Fei couldn't participate in this kind of fine-tuning of the defensive strategy. Lin Fei had nothing to do, so he simply found a place to sleep.

Toronto is not close to Los Angeles. The plane flew for 5 hours and arrived in Toronto at noon that day.

Arriving in Toronto, the Lakers players were taken to the hotel by a bus as soon as they got off the plane. After eating a training meal, Lake quickly rested and prepared for the 8:[-] p.m. game.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Lakers players came to the Raptors' home court for warm-up training.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, fans of the Raptors home team entered the field one after another, and the commentators were also in place in front of the technical stage.

The narrators are old acquaintances, O'Neill and Barkley!
Both the Raptors and the Lakers are playoff teams in this game. The strong confrontation is very interesting. The sports station also specially sent O'Neal and Barkley to explain.

"Hey, good evening guys! This is O'Neill and his brother Barkley!"

O'Neill took the initiative to grab the microphone and introduced with a smirk.

Barkley was reluctant immediately, and quickly shot back: "Brother? Hey, O'Neill, what nonsense are you talking about?"

O'Neal pretended not to hear Barkley's words, and continued on his own: "Tonight is the game between the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Lakers. Guys, these two teams are playoff-level teams. Strong. Strong matchup, guys, keep your spirits up, it's going to be a tough game tonight."

Seeing that O'Neill was pretending to be deaf, Barkley could only curl his lips helplessly.

"Brother, who do you think will be the winner in today's game?"

O'Neill continued to be mean, turned his head to look at Barkley and asked.

Barkley couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed the microphone: "Fatty, if you call me again, I'll be in a hurry with you!"

Seeing that Barkley was in a hurry, O'Neal quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy: "Don't, no, seriously, Mr. Barkley, who do you think will win tonight?"

Barkley rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I support the Raptors. There is no doubt that the Raptors are the stronger team in terms of record!"

O'Neal agreed deeply, nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. In terms of record, the Raptors are undoubtedly the stronger team!"

While talking, O'Neal changed the subject: "But! The Lakers' high-level combat power is stronger. They have James and thick eyebrows!"

"At the end of the basketball game, that is the stage where the stars face off!"

Barkley nodded and continued: "You're right, but the Lakers have just gone through a big deal. It's hard to say whether Hield and Brogdon can adapt to the new team!"

O'Neal laughed: "Brogdon and Hield are very functional, and they can quickly adapt to various teams!"

"Really? O'Neal, you are too confident!"

O'Neill smiled slightly: "Oh, want to gamble?"

For the effect of the show, O'Neill loves to bet with Barkley very much. Watching Barkley make a fool of himself is a great pleasure for O'Neill!
Hearing O'Neill's provocation, Barkley was not frightened: "Just say what you bet on!"

O'Neill thought for a while, then said with a smirk, "You don't think Hilde and Brogdon will perform well today, so let's bet on their performance!"

Barkley laughed loudly: "You trust them too much, haha, well, just bet on their performance!"

"Well, if they score 30 points together today, I will lose! If not, O'Neal, call me daddy on the show!"

O'Neal touched his nose: "Okay, Barkley, but if you lose, how about kissing the ass of the donkey again?"

Barkley knew what O'Neill was thinking, and rolled his eyes: "Okay, I won't lose anyway!"

O'Neill laughed: "Okay, then it's settled, I think my Chinese brother Yao Ming would love to see you kiss the donkey's ass again!"

"Come on, trust me, O'Neal, what Yao Ming can't see this time, you must be the loser!"
