The old Wharton fired at Vujacic, and the others were also laughing. In their view, as a rookie, one should have self-knowledge. The MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals are not something a rookie can think of at all. Although the preseason MVP was more ridiculed, it was a recognition of his strength, and Vujacic should readily accept it.

To this, Vujacic's response was: "Fuck you!"

Vujacic has been in a very bad mood these days, very, very bad. He finally understood why in the previous games, no matter who the opponent was, no matter how shitty Burbitt behaved, he was always a substitute the reason.

In Jackson's eyes, he has been positioned as the team's sixth man from the very beginning.

What is a sixth man?
Because there are five starters in a basketball game, usually the five strongest players in each position on the team, and the other players are called substitutes. They will be replaced about halfway through the first quarter, which is called rotation, which can make reasonable use of the players' physical strength. The one who is replaced at the time is usually the most powerful substitute, so he is called the sixth man.

Among all the current NBA players, the best interpretation of this role is Manu Ginobili of the Spurs. Last season, he was the best sixth man of the Spurs, averaging 12.8 points per game for the team.

But Vujacic does not want to play this role, no wonder every game, he will play many different roles on the field, sometimes as a point guard, sometimes as a shooting guard, and sometimes as a small forward.

At first, Vujacic naively thought that this was Jackson’s test for him. No matter which position he played, he tried his best to perform to the best. You know, this is not an easy task. The three positions are in the game. The roles they play are quite different.

For example, the point guard is the person who has the most opportunities to get the ball on the court. He is responsible for bringing the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt safely, and then passing the ball to other teammates, so that others can score.If the player at any other position is the protagonist of a drama, then the point guard is the director of the drama.

As the team's point guard, first of all, dribbling ability is absolutely indispensable. He must be able to take the ball across the half court without any problem when only one person is defending.

Then, you need to have a good passing ability, be able to pass the ball to where the ball should go most of the time, sometimes it is a gap where you can shoot, and sometimes it is a better ball guide Location.

Simply put, to let the ball flow smoothly, you must be able to pass the ball to the place where it is easiest to score.

Furthermore, it is necessary to organize the team's offense to make the teammates' offense smoother.

There are some other requirements for a point guard. In terms of scoring, the point guard is often the last scorer on the team. That is to say, unless other teammates have no good chance to shoot, it is not easy to shoot.

Or from another point of view, he has a strong scoring ability, and uses his scoring ability to destroy the opponent's defense to create opportunities for his teammates.

All in all, the point guard has an unchanging principle. When any teammate has a better chance than him on the field, he must give the ball to the teammate with a better chance.

Therefore, the shot of the point guard is often a good shooting opportunity, and naturally the requirement for the shooting percentage is relatively high. Generally speaking, it should be more than [-]%, which is higher than that of small forwards and shooting guards.

When playing a point guard, Vujacic must suppress his desire to score and do his best to create opportunities for his teammates. Is it easy for him?

There is also a shooting guard. From the meaning of the word, it is not difficult to know that a player in this position takes scoring as the main task. He is the second scorer after the small forward on the court, but he does not need to practice singles skills like a small forward. , Because it is often the teammates who help find the gap and then shoot, but because of this, the shooting guard's outside accuracy and stability must be very good.

There are two things that shooting guards often have to do. The first is to have a good gap to shoot the outside line. Therefore, the outside line must be accurate and stable. Otherwise, teammates will work hard to block a good opportunity, but they will not be able to shoot. If you go in, it will deal a big blow to the morale and confidence of the whole team.

The second is to find gaps in the small gaps to shoot outside, so the shooting speed must be fast. A good shooting guard can't expect to have such a good gap every time. He should be able to shoot in a very short time. Look for opportunities to shoot within the time, and the hit rate must have a certain level. Only in this way can the enemy's defense be scrupled. It is necessary to widen the defensive circle, which is more conducive to the offensive of teammates in the penalty area.

Shooting guard is Vujacic's profession. When playing this position, he is also the most comfortable time, so he doesn't have to complain.

Then there is the small forward. This position is the most important scorer in the team in the traditional basketball teaching materials. The most fundamental requirement for a small forward is to be able to score, and it is a relatively long-distance score.

When a small forward receives the ball, the first thing he thinks of is how to put the ball into the basket. The basic job of a small forward is to score, score, and score again.

Small forward is the position that requires the lowest shooting percentage. Generally speaking, only [-]% is considered qualified, and more than [-]% is acceptable.Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, he must be able to score.If a small forward scores seven or eight points per game and only hits [-]% of his shots, then he might as well sit on the bench.

Having said that, why can the shooting percentage of small forwards be relatively low?

Because he is the main scorer on the team, he often has to actively look for opportunities to shoot, stabilize the morale of the army at certain moments, and even single-handedly hit the opponent in a more difficult way to improve morale, and even give the opponent a head-on blow.

Therefore, the small forward will have more opportunities to shoot, and it may not be a good opportunity, so the shooting rate can be allowed to be slightly lower, as long as he can score.

For Vujacic, it is not difficult to play the role of a small forward. Although his height and strength are not enough to match the opponent's muscles. The stick is fighting near the free throw line, but he has precise shots and changes to the basket. A breakthrough can still ensure good scoring efficiency.

At the beginning, when Jackson arranged for Vujacic to change positions, he was very happy, because this most likely means that he can become the main force of the team during the regular season.

After all, competing with Kobe for the position of shooting guard, Vujacic also thinks that the possibility is unlikely, not because he lacks confidence, but because Kobe is the leader of the team selected by the Lakers management. !

Point guard, Vujacic is not very interested, he doesn't like to always create opportunities for others, but if Jackson arranges him to play this position, he will accept it.

Vujacic's real goal is the small forward. Currently the team's main small forward is Odom, but the main power forward Grant is in a very poor state. Unexpectedly, after the start of the regular season, Odom will be transferred. At the forward position, if you partner with the veteran Divac inside, then the main force at the small forward position may only be born between him and Butler.

But now it seems that he has neither the opportunity to compete with Kobe nor Butler. He has been declared out before he is in the arena, because Jackson has arranged everything, he is the team's The sixth man, that is to say, after the start of the regular season, Vujacic will play the shadow of Kobe.

This result made Vujacic very angry and annoyed. He could accept the status of a substitute, but he had no choice.

But he hadn't competed yet, so he was declared a failure!

at this point!Vujacic can't accept it!

Of course, Jackson doesn't care what Vujacic thinks at all. All he cares about is how the team can achieve good results this season.

Therefore, before the curtain of the regular season of the new season officially kicked off, a sharp thorn has been inserted between Vujacic and Jackson, thus proclaiming the fact that the master and apprentice will part ways sooner or later!
