the rest, only noise

Chapter 1230 Coach, I kill two birds with one stone

Nash performed fairly well in the usual matchups.

He has a shining side, such as his innate touch, his wonderful sense of balance and the ability to find the basket after losing his center of gravity, and his incredible imagination.

But to make the most of those gifts, he needs one more thing: creativity.

What is creation?On the court, the word literally means to create opportunities through the personal ability or tactics of players.

However, what Nash lacks most now is creativity.

This makes Louis feel strange, because Nash is by no means a lack of creativity in memory.

Louis had also seen Nash's career data in his previous life.

One of them left a deep impression on him-Nash's performance in the first few seasons of his career was mediocre.

场均大概只有8+2+5的样子，完全让人想象不到他会成为21世纪00年代最伟大的指挥官，更让人无法相信他能引领NBA有史以来最华丽的跑轰。

Now Louie can't remember the specific details of Nash's games, but only remembers the approximate data.

Therefore, he needs to test Nash's ability through actual combat.

Louie wondered whether the early Nash "couldn't" or "won't want to."

This is necessary.

Because, judging from Nash's talent and age, he is unlikely to be the kind of player who needs time to develop.

With his poor talent, how else does he need to develop?

Does he need to run faster or jump higher?
Or is there any technology that has not been mastered?
No, he really doesn't have those problems.

When Nash took Dana Barros' place and walked into the court, the Spurs fans at the scene felt strange to him.

They only know that this is the lottery pick that the Lakers selected this year.

Then came the booing of Nash.

It doesn't matter how Nash is, what matters is that they want Nash to know that he is not welcome here.

Subsequently, Nash organized a wonderful attack.

He pointed to the position of the tragedian, but passed back to the inside Ostertag like a magic trick.

The moment he received the ball, Ostertag felt a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

The timing and intensity of passing the ball are the most comfortable.

Ostertag scored a dunk and pointed at Nash when he turned around: "Rookie, this pass is great!"

Even as a rookie, Nash's organizational skills and passing ability have far exceeded the league average.

"Steve's problem is the exact opposite of Kobe's." Nelson pointed out, "If Kobe's problem is that he is too self-confident and ignores his teammates around him, then Steve's problem is that he is too selfless. Because of his lack of self-confidence, he dare not take too much responsibility."

This is what Nelson thinks.

His words awakened Louis.

This is the role of the old coach, and Nelson, who is also a player, understands Nash's plight better than Louie.

Louie vaguely remembers, after Nash played the best offensive performance of his career against his former team Mavericks, when he faced reporters after the game, he showed shame and said a lot of self-blaming words like "I'm too selfish."

Even though he had become the MVP at that time, Nash still remained humble.

"Old Tang, you are right."

Louis recognized Nelson's judgment, which also caused him an additional problem.

Nash was not having an easy time on the court.

Just now with a wonderful pass to assist Ostertag to build up a little self-confidence, was soon shattered by Iverson's brutal breakthrough.

Defense is indeed Nash's biggest shortcoming, and Iverson also grasped this point. Under the onslaught, Zonda had problems such as panic, nervousness, and technical movement deformation.

Compared to this, Louis wants to complain more about Popovich's behavior of letting Iverson play the first quarter and then play the second quarter.

Even if you have good physical strength, you can't use it like this, can you?Players are not livestock.

However, Iverson is really an out-and-out animal. In terms of physical strength and durability, he is counted among the strongest in NBA history.

Relying on Iverson's offensive advantage, the Spurs easily overtook the score and expanded their advantage to 6 points in the halfway point of the second quarter.

Louie replaced Nash.

Zonda walked off the stage dejectedly.

Seeing his appearance, Louis, who was thinking about how to build his confidence, felt that tonight was not a good time.

Also a rookie, Iverson is too fierce.

"Steve, there is nothing to be sad about. He is the No. 12 pick and you are the No. [-] pick. This is the gap between you."

Nanny Buck Williams said.

Kobe just wanted to say that it must be different to play him, and then he saw Louis staring at him kindly.

Of course Kobe knew what that look meant.

"Coach, is it my turn to play?"

The excited look on Bryant's face made Louie wonder if it might be too soon for him to play.

But counting the time, it was time for him to play.

The biggest difference between Louis and Kobe Bryant's rookie season head coach Del Harris in his previous life is that he will not deliberately suppress his playing opportunities.

Harris strictly controlled Kobe's playing time because he was a high school student, and he was also very strict when coaching.That's the right thing to do with the second-youngest player in the league.

And Louie is a head coach who likes to make a change.

He wouldn't mind playing the 18-year-old, 69-day-old Bryant against in-form No. [-] pick Allen Iverson.

"I can let you play." After confirming that he could play, Kobe could no longer hear Louie's words, and just turned into a ruthless nodding machine. Everything the coach said was right, as long as he was allowed to play.

Louis also said later: "If you can't guard Iverson, I will replace you. If you are too selfish, I will replace you too. If you ignore tactics for the sake of your own limelight, I will never let you off!"

"Yes yes yes! Coach, I'm ready!"

"Come on!"

Moreover, Kobe replaced Nash, but Ellis.

The person who replaced Nash was Dana Barros, who performed brilliantly in the first quarter.

"Coach, is it okay to let the high school boy play so early?" Barkley expressed concern.

Is it early?Louis saw Kobe's fierce fighting spirit.

"I think it's just right."

Ellis completely looked down on the match between Kobe and Iverson: "Even JD can't beat that kid. I really don't believe that stinky high school student can deal with him. If he can't defend Iverson, he will definitely want to regain his position on the offensive end. At that time, we won't even be able to play a tactic."

The ambitious Bryant immediately set a record after his debut-he briefly became the youngest player in NBA history.

But, soon, this record will fall to Jermaine O'Neill's head.

Both O'Neal and Kobe were born in high school, but the former is younger than the latter. He just passed his 18th birthday not long ago and is currently only 18 years and 18 days old.

After playing, the game was different from what Kobe thought.

Iverson is extremely fast because of his size.

Kobe struggled just to keep up with him.

With Wilson and Garnett out, the Lakers don't have a strong defensive player on the court
Antonio McDyess, the power forward of the Spurs, doesn't talk about martial arts, and is crazy about the old comrades.

I saw that McDyess turned his back to take the position, took the ball, and with a light push, the tragedian flew away.

Afterwards, McDyess turned around and made a steady hit.

That's 8 points short.

Kobe yelled, "Give me the ball!"

Dana Barros, the rigid, low EQ, and totally ignorant bastard in the first and second grades of the Lakers team, said with a cold face: "Unless you run, unless you have an open spot, don't ask me for the ball!"

Barkley laughed: "That's it! A little bastard who just graduated from high school, still wants to go to heaven?"

The tragic master who was beaten up on the defensive end didn't want to sit still, he ran to the high position to help Baros pick and roll.

The Spurs have been scared by Barros, and McDyess rushed out of the three-point line to double-team with Iverson.

Baros barely scored the ball.

The tragedy master took the ball, took two quick steps, attracted the defense and then juggled it with one hand and passed it to Kobe in the right corner.

Kobe had a chance to shoot. As a result, he deliberately waited until the opponent's help defense approached, used a very realistic shooting fake to send people flying, and then went further in to make a sudden stop jump shot.

"Shh!"

This is the first goal of Kobe Bryant's career, which is a milestone.

The tragedy teacher hesitated to speak.

Louis didn't care so much: "Why didn't you shoot the ball directly?"

Kobe's answer made Louie's blood pressure soar: "Coach, did you see it? I deliberately slowed down the shooting speed, waited for the opponent's defense to approach, and then used fake moves to shake the opponent away. This not only dampened their defensive enthusiasm, but also did not delay scoring."

Wow, that makes sense... Diva! ! !
