Chapter 381 Non-Combat Attrition

Chapter 384 Non-combat Attrition
"Wish, please tell me, why did you choose to switch places?"

At the Toyota Center, at the Lakers' review meeting, Phil Jackson pointed to Wei Xia's defensive error in a certain round and asked.

Players who often come here for meetings are all too familiar with current affairs.

If one day Jackson has nothing to say about Wei Xia's performance.That just goes to show that his performance was really, really good.

Under normal circumstances, Jackson's praise of Wei Xia will only happen on one occasion: in front of the media.

At other times, especially in private, he would not have a good comment on Wei Xia.

Hearing his question, Wei Xia didn't intend to explain nonsense.

What Jackson was referring to was his defense of Hill yesterday, which looked disappointing.

As mentioned earlier, this season's Hill is waiting for his health once in six years.Health belongs to health, its strength is far from what it was before.No one will regard him as Jordan's successor anymore, because he is not young.He has not been able to get stable playing time and training for six consecutive years. Injuries, surgeries, rehabilitation exercises and accidental virus infections have caused his strength to retreat again and again. He is no longer who he used to be.

Fortunately, players like him, even if they lose all their athletic ability, can still perform at a high level relying solely on technique and awareness.

Wei Xia was unlucky, and met Hill, who was both online and on standby.

Against the Lakers, Howard dominated the penalty area.

Hill made 11 of 8 shots and beat Wei Xia to the ground.

After the game yesterday, Wei Xia had a premonition that he would be hanged, and today it really came true.It is ridiculous that Jackson also said to the media and reporters, "Wish's performance is very good, I am very satisfied."Oh, he is very satisfied, so the tone of questioning him today can vaguely feel a trace of... tenderness.

Well, not the first time either.

Wei Xia didn't have anything to say about his mistake.

With regard to Jackson's criticism, he has developed corresponding "antibodies".

All criticism should be encouraged, and if there is something, then it will be corrected, and if there is nothing, it will be encouraged. If it is out of nothing, he will never sit and be scolded.

He really has nothing to justify what happened today, indeed, it is his problem.

Therefore, he is as obedient as a newborn puppy, let your Zen master lightning and thunder, he only holds an umbrella to cover the rain and does not speak.

The whole team was amazed by his determination.

Afterwards, Sprewell said: "I declare that Wish is the most tempered person in the world. There is no criticism that he can't hear. He is really too strong!"

Wei Xia shook his head modestly: "No, it's true that I didn't do well. The coach taught me well. You should take me as a warning."

Kobe sprinkled salt on his wound and said, "Don't worry, everyone is safe with you here, you are an angel bearing the cross!"

Players who have more than one year of experience in the Lakers will never have any objection to Zen Master's wild spraying of Wei Xia.All veterans know that Wei Xia and Jackson have formed a tacit understanding.One sprays, one listens, unless the person spraying is too unreasonable or out of control, the other will accept it willingly.

This kind of gameplay is called killing chickens to warn monkeys in China.

Wei Xia has been killed for a year and a half, and he has long been used to it.

The replay meeting ended, and Jackson held a confrontation match.

Because Wei Xia was sprayed miserably, he decided to get his face back in the confrontation.

Kobe had the idea that he would be frustrated on the training ground.

If you can get your own pleasure by making Kobe sad, that's the best.

Wei Xia will go all out for this. No matter what others think, he will find ways to make Kobe sad in the match.

Because the two of them had the same idea, they both used too much force on the defensive end and failed to perform offensively.

It's an inside line, with sparks and lightning all the way.

The interior composition of the black and white teams is Bynum/Brian Cook and Ryan Hollins/Rademanovich.

Did Jackson have other thoughts when deciding on the two-team roster?

Otherwise, why did he just call the most united insiders together?
Bynum and Cook have been teammates for a year. Although they are in the same position, they play differently. Bynum is on the inside and Cook is on the outside.The same center Cook is a space-based insider style.Bynum is a traditional low-post type.

Hollins and Radmanovich have the same characteristics as the other group of big men.Radmanovic inherited the European tradition of soft touch inside. After coming to the Lakers, he signed the team's third highest salary. He seems to only know how to shoot.Every pick-and-roll, he would run to the perimeter like a wild dog chasing a bone.

Is that what the Lakers expect of him?To be sure, absolutely not.

Jackson wanted to talk to Radmanovic when he joined the Lakers, and they did meet to talk about how they felt about their upcoming partnership and their views on the triangle offense.

Radmanovich's view of the triangle offense is too superficial, and Jackson hopes to let him discover the truth through some superficial phenomena.After all, the triangle offense is his philosophy. If the newcomer can easily break through the secrets like Rodman, wouldn't it mean that his philosophy is pretending to be profound?
So, he used a method that he personally thinks is very "clever".

He gave Radmanovic what he thought was the "perfect" triangle offense -- a tape of the Bulls' last regular-season game against the New York Knicks in 1995-96.The background of that game was that the invincible Bulls lost to New York 11 days ago by a huge gap of 32 points.

Legend has it that New Yorkers held a three-day party for that victory, the columnists of the "New York Times" climaxed, and Spike Lee got into the game because he was too high-all kinds of phenomena showed how profound the regular season victory meant to them.

The Bulls remembered the disastrous defeat that New York brought them. When they met for the last time in the regular season, they played almost exactly the same score, but the names of the leading and trailing teams were swapped.

The Bulls became the leading team, and it was the Knicks who suffered a disastrous defeat.

Moreover, Rodman hasn't played yet.

Although the 96 Bulls without Rodman were not in their strongest form, that game has always been one of the best games of the season in Zen Master's mind. He hopes that Radmanovic can learn useful experience from it.

Before joining the Lakers, Radmanovich was an all-around insider who could defend, attack, grab rebounds, protect the rim, and support the line.After watching that tape, he might have been attracted by the iron-blooded jumpers of Luke Longley and Bill Wennington, and he completely gave up his own advantages and became a single-function player with nothing but jumpers.

His functionalization symbolizes the complete failure of the Lakers' summer signings.

It is equivalent to saying that in addition to the draft picks, the Lakers also used the team's third salary to bring back a fifth-position shooter standing at the center position.

No matter what others think, Kobe is devastated anyway.

Moreover, these insiders seem to have brain problems. They don't work hard during the game, but they are heroes on the training ground.

One and two wanted to prove that they were a dominant insider, and they played extremely fiercely. Seeing Kobe's interest rose, he was about to have a bloody battle with Wei Xia.

Suddenly, Radmanovic's [-]-pointer landed uncontested and injured.

Losing Odom, the Lakers already have some problems inside, and another injury to Radmanovic is equivalent to losing the enhanced version of Brian Cook.

Jackson called off the match.

Kobe was flustered, and Wei Xia felt a little sorry for what happened to Radmanovich.

But soon, Wei Xia and Kobe were freed from their frustration. Anyway, the Lakers' inside line is already bad. For the next period of time, they only need to pretend that they have never had a player like Radmanovich.

"You haven't played enough, have you?" Wei Xia grabbed the ball and challenged Kobe, "Let's continue."

Kobe also needs to find something to distract himself: "If you want to die so much, of course I can help you!"

The bullfight that Wei Xia took the initiative to provoke was brutally beaten by Kobe.

During this period, Bryant did not resort to any fancy tricks.He just made one move, hit back to back, turned over and shot a jumper.

By the end, Wei Xia had completely figured out his offensive rhythm.Every time he jumps into the air, Wei Xia's block can completely cover his sight.However, he doesn't need to see the rim to shoot.

In one-on-one situations, there is no double-teaming, no help defense, and Kobe only needs to face the pressure of one person.

Even if Wei Xia can make him invisible to the basket, his shooting percentage will not be affected in the slightest when he is relaxed.

Regarding the position of the basket, he has long been familiar with it. After all, he has practiced millions of shots since he was a child.

He may not be able to get Vanessa pregnant with his eyes closed, but he can shoot basketball with his eyes closed.

Wei Xia was blown away by the opponent's unreasonable jumper and ended in a disastrous defeat.

After a preliminary examination by the team doctor, Radmanovic showed a second-degree tear of the high ligament.

Injuries related to ligaments, no matter how small, are big things.

Once it comes to tearing, you can deal with it with the most rigorous attitude.

Radmanovic's injury was obtained by the team doctor based on his reaction. He now needs to go to the hospital for an examination to get the final result, and it is not ruled out that he overreacted.Leading to a wrong judgment on the team doctor.

If Radmanovic is sidelined due to injury, the Lakers' interior will become very embarrassing.

Odom's return date is not yet due, and Radmanovich's truce means that the only insiders they can use are Bynum, Cook, and Hollins...that is to say, they replace Odom and Dwayne Jones with Hollins, who can hardly protect the rebounds in front of any opponent.

They will once again have the worst interior depth in the league.

Now I can only hope that the diagnosis given by the hospital is not so bad.

It's a pity that the Lakers are out of luck. The diagnosis from the hospital shows more bluntly that Radmanovic has suffered a torn ligament that needs to be absent for at least a month.
