Chapter 117 Lakers Training Session

Flew to Los Angeles with Paul the next day.

"Paul, why is your name not included in the All-Stars?" He took out the All-Star starting list that was just announced.

"Li, you are looking for trouble. You clearly know that I don't have the opportunity to participate in the All-Star this year, but you still come to provoke me." Gasol was so angry.

"Damn it, it's all because of my record, otherwise I would definitely be selected as an All-Star." Gasol said vowedly.

"All-star substitute, you can still have more votes than Duncan." Pointing to Duncan's votes.

Although Duncan did not have a particularly large number of votes, he also got more than 170 million votes.

"Haha, Paul, you don't even have a lot of votes for Durant, but you are also a past All-Star. It's normal for you to have a low number of votes."

It's nothing to say that Gasol has a low number of votes, but the word "gasol" pissed off Gasol.

Gasol stuffed Angel Li in his arms.

"Paul, let go, you're suffocating, we're still on the plane, let go." Was attacked by Gasol, failed to escape Gasol's bear hug.

I can't run happily, and I can't run away on the plane.

"Seeing that you still can't hold your breath." Gasol let go of his hand in satisfaction.

"Kevin Garnett, the king of votes in the Eastern Conference, has more than 239 million votes; James is second with more than 210 million votes." Seeing that Garnett can become the king of votes, the Eastern All-Stars start
Eastern All-Star starters: vote king Kevin Garnett with more than 239 million votes; James second with more than 210 million votes; center Dwight Howard with more than 200 million votes, is the first All-Star starter; guard Wade, It was also the fourth All-Star selection and the third All-Star starter, receiving more than 160 million votes; Jason Kidd received 124 million votes.

The Eastern Substitutes are: Ray Allen, Pierce, Hamilton, Billups, Wallace, Singles Joe, Jamison.

Let’s look at the Western Conference starters again: Kobe Bryant received more than 200 million votes; center Yao Ming received more than 170 million votes, making the All-Star debut for six consecutive years; Anthony received 6 votes, making him the first All-Star starter; Duncan also received 172 Ten thousand votes, 171 consecutive All-Star starts; after Iverson was traded to the Nuggets, his popularity in the beautiful country dropped a lot, and he only won 9 million votes.

Western Conference All-Star Subs: Brandon Roy, Stoudemire, Chris Paul, Boozer, Nowitzki, Nash, David West.

"Paul, where do the All-Stars think they can win?" asked Gasol casually.

"It's hard to say. It depends on the situation. No one can tell what it will be. Each has its own advantages." As long as the gap is not too large, the All-Stars are all [-]-[-].

"Li All-Star Game, do you want to participate?" Participating in the All-Star Game is the dream of every player. The All-Star Game can not only increase their popularity, but also increase their commercial value.

"I have participated. I received an invitation from the league to participate in the rookie game and the three-point contest. Paul, which one do you participate in?"

"Damn it, Li, your skin is itchy." Gasol began to threaten Li Tian.

Soon to be in Los Angeles.

"Paul and Lee, Los Angeles welcomes you. Bill is very happy to meet you." Kupchak came to the airport and specially greeted Gasol and Li Tian.

The Lakers have eight consecutive away games, and all players are on the road.

Looking at the bustling Los Angeles, Memphis is really incomparable. The streets are full of people. Hollywood is in Los Angeles, the largest entertainment capital in the world. If you see someone on the road, you may have starred in someone Movie, is a starlet.

Bill Duffy needed to help Li Tian arrange some life-related matters, so he left early.

After the welcome ceremony, Kupchak arranged for Li Tian and Gasol to go for a physical examination, choose a number, and take makeup photos.

After finishing these, fly directly to New Jersey.

To join the Lakers, who are playing an away game, the Lakers have traded several players. Now is the time when they are short of players. They need to rush to New Jersey as soon as possible to join the team.

"Paul and Lee welcome you, and the team will improve its quality when you arrive." Phil Jackson welcomed the arrival of the two on behalf of the team.

"Hello, Phil!" Made a simple exchange.

"You go and get acquainted with your teammates first. I need to prepare for a training session." Phil went to prepare the things needed for the training session.

The team is currently short of manpower and urgently needs the two of them to participate in the game.

It's just the right time to do some training with the team today, and then you can join the team in the game against the New Jersey Nets the next day, and then challenge the Eagles back to back.

During this period of time, the Lakers' schedule is simply a devil's schedule, with 9 straight away, it is scary to think about it. Compared with the schedule, the Grizzlies' schedule is considered happy.

"Paul, Lee, your arrival is really timely. The team needs you so much. Brown and the others have already left. We have already experienced 3 consecutive away games, and we will have 6 away games. This damn consecutive away game is too impressive. I hate it." Kobe couldn't help complaining.

Every year the Lakers are the most difficult at this time, and this year is especially difficult, even with 9 consecutive visitors.

"Kobe, we can finally join forces. In 04, we almost reached a deal, and now it's finally done." Gasol was full of emotion. In 04, he was almost traded to the Lakers, but he was still traded four years later. to the Lakers.

"Kobe, Paul, it's been a long time coming for you." Li Tian also interjected.

"Yes, Paul, you can come to the Lakers. Our goal this year must be the championship. Do you have confidence?" Kobe started with the championship, directly skipping the Western Conference Finals.

After Kobe won the fourth championship in Miami with O'Neal, his only goal now is the championship. In his words, as long as it is not a championship, it is a failure.

"Come on, let me introduce you to the current Lakers players." Kobe introduced the Lakers players one by one, and briefly talked about their information, so that several people can get to know each other.

"Clap!"

Phil is in the training hall, clapping his hands to remind everyone.

"Everyone stop, come here, and explain the triangle offensive tactics first." Phil Jackson knew that the two had just joined the team, and they didn't have a special understanding of the triangle offense, so they needed to explain.

There will be some changes in the position of each player in the team, so it needs to be revisited.

Phil talked about the triangle offensive tactics for more than half an hour. Both of them have high ball quotients and IQs, so they still sound half-understood.

"Paul and Li, this is the first time you have heard this tactic, if you don't understand anything, ask me alone after the training is over." Phil saw that the two of them didn't understand.

"Next, we will train in groups, divided into two starting groups: Kobe, Gasol, Radmanovic, Odom, Fisher; substitute group: Li Tian, ​​Farmar, Walton, Vujacic , Mbenga."

"The match begins!" Phil picked up his pen and began to memorize something, asking the assistant coach to be the referee.

Gasol jumps to the ball.

The ball is passed to Fisher, who dribbles upfield and passes the ball to Kobe.

Wharton's defense is good, but in the face of Kobe's breakthrough, it is still not enough. He was directly passed by Kobe and made a layup.

The first team scored 2 points first.

Farmar dribbled the ball for half court, stood at the top of the arc, and faced Fisher's defense. Fisher was stronger than Farmar in terms of height, weight, and experience.

Facing Fisher's defense, he stumbled and almost got cut off the dribble.

"Famar, this way." Li Tian yelled, asking Farmar for the ball.

Farmar passed the ball and was almost intercepted by Fisher.

Holding the ball with one hand, ready to hit Odom with his back, his height and weight are almost the same as Odom's, but his strength is much stronger than Odom's.

Leaning with all his strength, leaning on Odom, being leaned on with all his strength, Odom lost his center of gravity, turned around and made a layup.

"Hey, I didn't expect his strength to be so good, and he easily pushed Odom away, and the layup was not bad." Phil looked at Li Tian's performance and felt good.

Phil signaled to let Kobe break through Li Tian.

Bryant understood and took Fisher's pass.

"Rookie, I heard that you have defended Garnett, so your defense should be very good?" Kobe Bryant talked trash.

"Kobe, if you're good at defending, you'll know if you try it, come on." No fear.

"Kobe, blow up that rookie." Hearing that someone dared to confront Kobe head-on, he immediately wanted to watch a show.

Phil didn't interfere with the situation on the field. He just wanted to see how Li Tian's defense was. He had watched all his game videos, but there weren't many top players in the matchup, so he wanted to use Kobe Let's see how good Li Tian's defense is.

Kobe was cruising near the three-point line, patting the basketball lightly.

Fast crotch dribble, constantly changing the speed of dribbling, changing direction, accelerating, and changing direction again.Kobe's ball handling ability is also the top powerhouse in the league.

After a series of dribbles, he didn't move, still staring straight at Kobe.

Seeing that he was unmoved, he could only choose to break through directly.

Sudden acceleration, leaning hard towards Li Tian, ​​trying to squeeze out the space, and then make a breakthrough.

When Kobe accelerated his breakthrough, he took a small step back, just because he was worried that Kobe would suddenly speed up and try to pass him.

Seeing Li Tianhou take half a step back, Kobe lost the best position for a breakthrough. The experienced Kobe made an emergency stop, turned around and shot a jumper.

Realizing that Kobe was going to shoot a jumper, standing half a step away from Kobe, he could only forcefully take off and block Kobe's jumper.

Seeing that he couldn't cover Kobe, he could only use Battier's eye-sealing skill, and stretched his hand in front of Kobe, trying to seal Kobe's eyes to interfere with Kobe's jump shot.

The eye-closing defense still affects Kobe's jumper.

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Gasol grabbed the rebound and made a tip-up.

"Damn, Paul, you actually grabbed the offensive rebound." Shouted at Gasol.

"Haha, Li and we are opponents now." After Gasol finished speaking, he turned around and went back to defend.

"Lee's defense is good, his defensive awareness and defensive action are very good. If he improves a little bit, his defense should not be weaker than Kobe." Phil is more and more happy, and Li Tian's performance makes him feel amazing.

"Great rookie, you managed to interfere with Kobe." Odom shouted.

The training game is still going on, the offense of the substitute group is really too stretched, Farmar's organization is too lacking, and the Lakers' bench is really the biggest weakness of the team.
