NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Early the next morning, the Lakers players were dragged to the local basketball training facility by Vogel immediately after waking up.

Gathering everyone together, Vogel looked at the bewildered generals of the Lakers, and slowly revealed the strategy he formulated yesterday.

After finishing speaking, Vogel looked at the Lakers generals with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Guys, tomorrow is the first time we will play against such a strong Western Conference team after the trade. This game is very important to us!"

"Did you understand the strategy I just said? Let's practice it in a while!"

Hearing Vogel's words, everyone present was a little puzzled. After a pause, James, the boss of the team, raised his own question: "Drill? Mr. Vogel, how do we practice? There are no Mavericks players and players here. Doncic!"

Looking at the puzzled Lakers, Vogel smiled mysteriously: "Who said there is no? Don't we have someone who plays like Doncic?"

"It's very similar to Doncic's style of play?? Who is it?"

After Vogel said this, the Lakers players present were even more confused. Do the Lakers have players who play the same way as Doncic?
Vogel didn't let it go anymore, he laughed, and pointed to James with his right hand: "James, he plays very similarly to Doncic!"

"I?"

James let out a strange cry and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Mr. Vogel, don't be kidding, I can't learn Doncic's rhythm and step back three-pointer!"

Vogel shook his head slightly: "But you all play with the ball and big core, don't you?"

"Let you play with five small lineups, and Brogdon with a big lineup, just let Brogdon try the strategy I made yesterday!"

Hearing Vogel's explanation, James nodded slightly and agreed.

After that, Vogel glanced at the surrounding Lakers players, and then began to deploy troops!
After Vogel's arrangement, James led Deckard, Gary Clark, Hilde, and Rivers to fight against Brogdon, Howard, Thick Eyebrows, Anthony, and Johnson!
According to Vogel's instructions, James will try his best to play the role of Doncic, play the ball-handling core, attract double-teams and then divide the ball for assists!

The lineup led by Brogdon will follow Vogel's strategy, let players with good athletic ability defend James alone, and others will try their best to cut off the connection between James and his teammates.

Try to consume James' physical strength on the offensive end!
After Vogel finished his explanation, players from both sides entered the field and the training game officially began.

At the beginning of the game, the James team had the ball. James held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, facing Johnson.

After Vogel's arrangement, Brogdon didn't mean to double-team James at all, but let James go singles against Johnson!
James understood their strategy. Facing Johnson, James adjusted a little and directly chose to break through.

Although Johnson's physical condition is not bad, compared with James' historical level of physical fitness, it is still far behind!

After two consecutive tops, James easily ground into the inside and scored 2 points!
It was not a good feeling to be hit twice by James with all his strength. Johnson, who was at the bottom line, held his reddened chest and gasped.

At this time, Brogdon ran over to catch the baseline ball. As soon as he saw Johnson's action, Brogdon knew what was going on. After giving Johnson a sympathetic look, Brogdon comforted him.

"Dude, you've done a good job, just do your best!"

After finishing speaking, Brogdon patted Johnson on the shoulder, took the baseline ball and advanced to the frontcourt!

According to Vogel's arrangement, Brogdon gestured to his teammates, signaling that everyone would pick James to fight and consume his energy!
Then, signaling his teammates to open up the space again, Brogdon called Johnson to pick and roll and replaced his defender with James.

Facing James' defense, Brogdon dribbled the ball and adjusted his rhythm, and took the lead in attacking!
From small to large, Brogdon has been using his speed and rhythm to shake James' center of gravity.

But James' defense was very solid, and Brogdon didn't have a good chance after shaking for a long time!
After another series of high-frequency shaking, Brogdon managed to shake James' center of gravity a little bit, and quickly took advantage of this gap to take a cross step!

But James' physical fitness is too strong, and his lateral movement speed is extremely fast. Even if the center of gravity was shaken, he still stepped in front of Brogdon in one step, blocking his breakthrough route.

Brogdon didn't expect to be shaken like this, and James could follow him. The dribbling rhythm was a little flustered for a while. Seeing that the attack time was about to run out, Brogdon had to make a decision!
He hastily raised his right hand high, signaling thick eyebrows and Howard to look for opportunities inside.

Brother Nongmei and Howard understood and rushed into the inside position. At this time, James was on the outside, and their inside Deckard and Gary Clark couldn't stand the position of Howard and Brother Nongmei.

Opportunities are everywhere in the inside line at this time!

Seeing this, Brogdon directly lobbed the ball to the inside.

Howard jumped high, took the ball in his hands, and faced the short Gary Clark behind him, Howard did not hesitate. After pushing his back, he turned around and put the basket easily!

The ball returned to the James team, and James still attacked with the ball.

Since James' teammates are not strong enough to hold the ball at this time, James can only hold the ball to launch the attack!

Facing Johnson's defense, James still chose to go it alone!

After simply dribbling the ball twice, James kicked off the ground and rushed straight over.

Seeing this, Johnson hurriedly took a step back, kicking his legs on the ground, ready to fight against James!
But who knows that James didn't choose to break through with this ball, but made an emergency stop to shoot a three-pointer! ! !

I saw James suddenly braked, took off on the spot, and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer!
The ball was very sudden, and Johnson's footsteps were completely disrupted. At this time, he couldn't jump up at all, and could only watch James shoot a three-pointer!

James felt good about the ball, the arc was very positive, he hit the basket and scored 3 points.

The ball returned to Brogdon's hands, and Brogdon still chose to face James, constantly shaking James with the dribble, consuming James' physical strength.

When the attack time is almost up, turn around and hand the ball to Howard and Big Eyebrow inside!

This has been the case with every ball after Brogdon, resolutely implementing the strategy that Vogel arranged before, crazily consuming James' physical strength!

With Brogdon's style of play, James can only be forced to attack, organize and defend!

Even though James' physical fitness is top-notch, he couldn't help panting after persisting for three quarters!
