NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 88 [Worthless]

Because of the plane, there was not enough time to prepare for this game against the Seattle SuperSonics, and everything seemed rushed.

But almost everyone on the Lakers team showed a very relaxed state.

One of the reasons for this is because the Seattle SuperSonics are really not a strong team right now.

The decline of this team is very strange. In the 2004-2005 season, they also achieved a record of 52 wins and 30 losses in the regular season. back.

But in the last season, that is, the 2005-2006 season, when the main lineup was basically unchanged or even strengthened, this season, they only achieved a pitiful 35 wins in the regular season. Rulin's West is simply impossible to enter the playoffs.

After the season ended, the Seattle SuperSonics were sold to an Oklahoma investment group, which expressed a desire to move the team to Oklahoma City, claiming that the Key Arena, which had just been renovated 10 years ago, was too Old needs to be replaced.

Probably this reason has affected the players and fans of the Sonics. They performed very sluggishly in the few games after the start of this season. They lost to the Trail Blazers and the Warriors successively.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Lakers, they are really not a strong team.

Another reason is that Kobe Bryant, the head star of the Lakers, will return in this game.

After missing the first two games of the new season due to minor injuries, last season's killer will finally return to the game wearing the No. 24 jersey.

In the two games Kobe missed, the Lakers won both, and they played against the strong teams in the Western Conference.

Now that Kobe is back and playing against a weak team, isn't it easy to handle?
Therefore, during training, the whole team showed ease.

Zen master simply led everyone to practice offensive tactics. As for defense, Zen master did not arrange too many targeted things. In his own words, "Since last season, the Sonics' offense has been unmatched by anyone. understand."

This is not to say that the Supersonic's offensive tactics are so unpredictable, it is just that their tactics are completely blind, wherever they hit.

I don't know if their head coach Bob Hill has lost control of the team, or if this guy really doesn't have any ink in his stomach.

Anyway, the Sonics' offense is a mess, but fortunately, their players do have good offensive talents, so even with such an unorganized offense, last season Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis averaged over twenty.

As for the whole team, the most serious one is Kobe Bryant.

During the team training, he kept pausing, repeatedly emphasizing the defensive problems of Ray Allen and Lewis.

"When they're outside the three-point line, make sure we have defenders facing them who can interfere with their three-pointers."

Kobe emphasized, "Especially you, Walton, Lewis is a very touchy pitcher. If you don't limit him to death in front, once you develop his touch, it will be difficult to control from behind."

"And you, Odom, Ray Allen likes to use the cover of Nick Collison at the [-]th position, and Collison is a solid cover. When the time comes, remember the strategy we said, switch defenses, never Let Ray Allen take an easy shot, if he's looking for Danny Fortson's screen, this guy will habitually push people when the screen is about to end, you can take advantage of this, understand?"

Luke Wharton, Odom and others nodded cautiously on the surface, but they were somewhat impatient in their hearts. There is really no need to be so serious for a weak team.

However, Lu Yusheng stood aside and listened with great interest. He discovered several characteristics.

First, Kobe seems to only focus on defense in his pre-match arrangements and training, and never mentions offense.

I don't know if he is too confident in himself and the Lakers' offense, or he always believes that defense is the key to winning the game.

The second is that Kobe seems to know the habits and characteristics of many players, including role players.

Because he just mentioned the supersonics substitute player Danny Fortson, a habitual small movement during the screen.

In fact, this player has not played much time in his entire NBA career. This guy can remember his name and his habitual actions.

This is a bit exaggerated, it must be the details that can only be captured by studying a lot of supersonic game videos (after all, Lu Yusheng in his previous life also read countless films, often pausing the screen to observe the details).

The video maniac's title is really well-deserved.

After the training, Kobe left Lu Yusheng alone.

"Lu, you can leave later, I have something to tell you."

Luke Wharton, Vujacic and the others chuckled secretly, before leaving in a strange mood.

"Treasure the time alone with that guy, I hope you are still intact tomorrow, good luck."

Lu Yusheng was also quite disturbed. After all, the last time he trained alone with Kobe, he nearly collapsed and shouted for help.

And this time, wouldn't this guy want to make up for the heads-up that he didn't have time last time, right?

After the others left, Kobe made a phone call and returned to the court.

Seeing Lu Yusheng sitting on the sidelines resting, he threw a basketball over, "What are you doing sitting there? Get up and practice."

Lu Yusheng had no choice but to sit up, "Do you want to single out?"

"Need not."

A rock that Lu Yusheng was hanging on fell to the ground.

As long as you don't single out, it's fine.

"Your current level is not worthy of one-on-one with me," Kobe added later, "You can't even shoot, so what are you going to do against me?"

Lu Yusheng: ...

"The last time I trained with you, why didn't I find out that you can't shoot?"

"I...it's not that I can't shoot, I just... haven't adapted to shooting under high-intensity confrontation." Lu Yusheng tried to explain.

"Is there any difference?"

Kobe said seriously, "A point guard without a basket, how do you break through? And how do you create opportunities for your teammates? Last game, just because you can't shoot, you almost screwed up."

It seems that this guy watched the game even though he didn't play it.

"I admit that this is indeed one of my few shortcomings, and I have been practicing hard." Lu Yusheng said.

"One of the few shortcomings?" Kobe snorted coldly, "I really don't know where your confidence comes from, come here, let me tell you now, the shortcomings you showed on the court in these two games, let's go one by one. First, did you find it difficult for you to break through to the left?"

Lu Yusheng was taken aback for a moment, it seemed so.

"That's because when you break to the left, the center of gravity is much higher than when you break to the right, and there is almost no preparation for fake moves."

Have it?

Lu Yusheng was a little puzzled, but he had never noticed it before.

So he dribbled the ball and tried to use his habitual breakthrough action to break through to the left and right. Sure enough, the center of gravity seemed to be higher when going to the left than when going to the right.

Lu Yusheng was secretly startled, this must be the details he observed while watching the game video.

He never noticed this himself, nor did any coach mention it to him.

"OK, I really didn't notice it before."

"Second point, when you are defending, you never observe the opponent's offensive habits." Kobe said, "If you observe carefully, you will definitely find that when Baron Davis breaks to the right, there will be a very big one. The obvious feature is that he will subconsciously look at his left foot, but he uses the same method to shoot you four consecutive balls from the right."

Lu Yusheng: "Well... three."

"Shut up! Third, and stupidest..."

……

"Fifth……"

Lu Yusheng: ...

who I am?where am I? ?

Am I really the future league point guard nemesis?
