the rest, only noise

Chapter 1441 The coach is old and stubborn from the last era
There are many negative impacts brought about by the lockout. For the league, the biggest loss is not only the postponement of the season until February this year, but also the cancellation of the All-Star Weekend this season.

All-Star Weekend is a holiday for fans, a false holiday that star players both love and hate, and for the league, it's an annual cash-raising opportunity.

There are too many ways to make money with pre-match warm-ups, greatly increased ticket prices, and all kinds of commemorative products for cheating money.

But there is no All-Star Weekend this year.

As the season progressed until the end of March, the league still maintained a pattern of one super and many teams.

The 30-1 Lakers once again occupy the top spot in the league with a huge advantage.

Moreover, this year's Lakers have four players averaging 20 points per game.

They are Wilson averaging 23 points per game, Duncan averaging 22 points per game, Kobe Bryant averaging 21 points per game and Garnett averaging 20 points per game.

Bodi Loga played the most mediocre personal offensive performance since joining the NBA for three seasons, averaging only 15 points per game, but his average rebounds and assists per game were 8 and 14, respectively.

Averaged 15+8+14 per game.

Bodi Loga's data reminded Louis of Stockton's peak period in the Knicks. He once averaged 15+14 per game in a single month, overwhelming all the super giants at the time, and was elected the best player of the month.

And this data is Bodi Loga's average per game so far.

The problem is, Bodi Loga is not a player with an offensive ceiling like Stockton.

In the past two seasons, he has proved that he can play his own role. However, this season, he restrained his personal offensive desire, controlled the ball more and distributed it reasonably, so that the other four starters all scored an average of 20 points per game.

Bodi Loga has done everything he can to make everyone else happy.

At the same time, it also made the Lakers farther and farther away from the temple.

When someone holds the ball significantly more than others, the temple cannot be completed.

But Luigi couldn't continue to let Bodi Loga make changes for the team.

For the sake of the team, Bodi Loga has reduced the offense, and he has everyone else satisfied.

Even though he is suspected of being a ball bully, in such a team, if he is not a selfless ball bully, how can he satisfy everyone?
At this time, Louis realized that the temple may be a fantasy work that can only exist in concept.

It needs five talented players to complete it, but it also requires these five people to give up their self-esteem as a star and devote themselves to the game. It also requires these five people to have an almost persistent pursuit of a game concept that transcends the times. In addition, they need to understand each other and achieve a heart-to-heart tacit understanding.

From a human point of view, this is impossible.

Because it is impossible for Louis to have five superstars who are selfless and understand each other at the same time.

This made Louie very frustrated and lost some enthusiasm for coaching.

Ironically, even though Louie was just standing on the sidelines and making mediocre changes and adjustments, the Lakers still didn't have their second loss.

Time entered April, and something happened to the Lakers during training.

Garnett feels that if his scoring average can be a little more, there is hope for the second team.

When Bodi Loga heard this, he thought this guy was blaming him for passing too few passes, "We have four players who average 20 points per game and take so many shots per game. What do you want me to do?"

Bodi Loga's words are definitely from the bottom of his heart.

The Lakers are the fastest-paced team in the league, averaging 95 shots per game and averaging 128 points per game.

Judging from the number of shots per game, the Lakers and other teams are not playing the same kind of game.

Leaving the Lakers aside, teams in the league average 81 field goal attempts per game.

"We can create more shots by rebounding." Garnett said frankly.

Bodi Loga didn't bother to explain, and looked at him with a look of caring for the mentally handicapped.

"This matter is not for De Young to decide." Wilson said, "You have to go to the coach."

Louie has always been against rushing for offensive rebounds.

Only when he encounters teams with weak rebounding ability, he will make special arrangements. In most cases, Louis' purpose is to retreat quickly to avoid being called a defensive counterattack.

Louis has been in a bad mood recently, and Garnett doesn't want to get into trouble, "I won't go, whoever wants to go."

"More rebounds don't necessarily lead to more shots."

Liu Yuqing spoke unexpectedly.

Bodi Loga nodded approvingly. He found that most of the team was smart. He wondered why such a valuable player as Garnett could be included in the starting lineup. He is even an important part of beautiful basketball. Isn't he just able to run, jump, shoot, defend and pass?

Garnett looked at Liu Yuqing: "Jiang Duo, what's your opinion?"

"Actually, if you grab a few fewer rebounds, it may improve our scoring average." Liu Yuqing said another sentence that made Garnett confused.

"What do you mean? My buddy doesn't understand!"

Kobe immediately understood, "It means that you grab a few less defensive rebounds, because you like to push yourself every time you get the ball, which affects our fast break rhythm."

"Bean, you bullshit!"

"The rebound fell on my head. If I don't grab it, can my opponent grab it?"

Kobe said: "You can block him and prevent him from robbing."

Garnett asked: "Then who will grab it?"

Bryant's eyes swept towards Bodi Loga's position.

The relationship between Garnett and Bodi Loga is not good at ordinary times. Seeing Kobe's bad idea, dissatisfaction appeared on his face, "Why should I block him to grab rebounds?"

"Because you're wasting too much time."

Watching young people arguing about whether it is good to grab rebounds inside, Wilson also remembered that when the Magician was playing, wasn't the Lakers' tactic just to let him catch defensive rebounds and counterattack as much as possible?

"Why don't we try it in the game." Wilson suddenly had an idea, "Starting from the next game, Dejan, we will try our best to block for you, and you try to grab defensive rebounds as much as possible."

Bodi Loga didn't expect that there was such a way to increase his score.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed feasible.

The quality of the Lakers' defensive counterattacks is uneven. The reason is that Garnett, an idiot, likes to move forward alone after catching backcourt rebounds.

He is a big man, no matter how good his skills are, he cannot advance faster than the defenders, so he will naturally delay time and waste some good opportunities.

If those opportunities are given to Bodi Loga, maybe the Lakers can average 130 points per game.

Although the Lakers' current average of 128 points per game is already the number one offensive performance in history, but averaging 130 points per game is like Chamberlain's 100 points per game, which is a mythical barrier.

In the next 100 years, unless the NBA introduces a four-point line, no team should be able to break this record.

"Should I speak to the coach?" Duncan asked, "This is not a small matter."

Garnett said boldly: "No, we will do it ourselves first. The coach is an old man from the previous era, and he may not be able to accept our advanced ideas."

Wilson snickered in his heart, he was still advanced, that's how the magician played back then.

Moreover, the Knicks didn't have a point guard for a while, and when Wilson was put at the No. [-] position, they would also find ways to let him grab more defensive rebounds and then speed up the offensive rhythm.

"That's right, let's play by ourselves first."

On the surface, Wilson agreed and kept the group of young people with high tails in check. In fact, as soon as the training was over, he turned into a young boy and went to report to Louis.

Louis didn’t object to their game plan when he heard it. He has been very depressed recently and felt anxious that the beautiful basketball could not be perfectly interpreted. The players came up with this plan that can increase the scoring efficiency.

If it really works, maybe Bodi Loga can complete the first triple-double season of the post-merger era ahead of Westbrook.

Louis quickly came back to reality from Lenovo, and said to Benj: "Okay, don't talk about Dejan, talk about Jasmine, what did he say about me behind my back?"

"Well, coach, I don't want to be a snitch."

"This is to truthfully reflect the situation in the team, and it is your duty as the captain."

"uh he said"

"Say it!"

"He said the coach was a stubborn old man from a previous era."

Okay, that's great, it seems that I have been too relaxed recently, otherwise how dare this bastard break ground?
