The way of the center

Chapter 443
Cheers, Kobe loves cheers.Of course, he hated the cheers from the fans when he played away.

When the Trail Blazers were still in the years when Roy was "in charge", Kobe suffered a lot in the Rose Garden.It's just that at that time, if the Trail Blazers wanted to beat the Lakers, they had to put in all their efforts and a little luck to do it.But now, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the dazzling Lakers with a huge difference of nearly 20 points.Yes, it's easy!

Kobe is in a terrible mood. Since he was upset and defeated by the Mavericks yesterday, Kobe has not been in a good mood.This team has a problem, although their lineup is very strong, but Kobe knows in his heart that this team has a problem.Now that he has a huge aura but has ushered in a two-game losing streak at the beginning of the game, Kobe is naturally very unhappy.

He just wants to get out of this damn place quickly, and vent his emotions on the training ground after returning to Los Angeles.This isn't Staples, and no fans are going to keep him.But the owner here couldn't bear to watch Kobe just walk away.

"Hey, Bryant!" Kobe stopped, and the person who called his name was not a fan, but Anjie.

"You played beautifully, you ate us all up." Kobe forced a smile at Anjie, but if it was someone else, he didn't even bother to smile.

"Hey, don't be discouraged, buddy. You just need more time, take your time, the season has just begun." Anjie couldn't help but hugged Kobe, and whispered in No. 24's ear.Those who don't know may think that Anjie is the super center of the Lakers, and Howard is the defensive backbone of the Trail Blazers.

"It's okay, I've experienced worse than this. You work hard, although we will definitely win the championship this season." Kobe lightly punched An Jie's chest, then turned and left, disappearing into the player tunnel the end.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, now, I actually need the comfort of a young man.
An Jie shook his head and returned to the area belonging to his team.Kobe worked as hard and as hard as everyone else on the Trail Blazers.But the NBA is brutal, and here, there is only one winner.

"Scored 20 points on 10-for-30 shooting, sorry I'm not talking about Ann, actually this belongs to Kobe's data. How about Howard? He scored 18 points on 9-of-23 shooting. My God, when Kobe and Howard played When they are so good, their team is almost impossible to lose. But when the two of them get together, the result is that the Lakers lose, and it is still a disastrous defeat!" According to the usual practice, after the game, the three of T.NT The team has to analyze and analyze the data of this game for the fans.But Kenny Smith didn't expect that Kobe and Howard, who lost so badly, actually played very good statistics.

"Yes, there is no doubt about the personal abilities of these two guys. The Lakers played a mess throughout the game. If it weren't for Kobe and Howard, the Lakers might not even be able to finish the game. The Lakers' bench There are a lot of people scoring between 2 and 3, what about Steve Nash? 2 points! Can you imagine? I know scoring is not Nash's specialty, but only two points, it is too exaggerated!" O'Neal I also looked at the data of the Lakers. It can be said that except for Kobe, Howard and Gasol who scored 16 points, the data of the rest of the Lakers is simply unsightly.

"Let's take a look at the performance of the Trail Blazers today. Huh, I knew it was a world of difference." Charles Barkley opened the detailed data sheet of the Trail Blazers, and the strings of numbers on it were very honest. The reaction reflects the result of the game.

Lillard, who played as a rookie, scored an unprecedented 23 points and 11 assists. Wesley Matthews' fiery touch from beyond the three-point line also allowed him to score 22 points.In addition, Anjie's 29 points are naturally the highest score of the Trail Blazers.Of course, Aldridge also scored 19 points, Iguodala scored 13 points, and Batum and Courtney Lee scored 18 points together, making the Blazers' bench equally eye-catching.This string of data left Barkley dumbfounded.Can you imagine that such uniform data was produced by a team that cooperated for the first time in an official game?

"The three scored 51 points, and the starting five scored in double figures. The team's total shooting rate was 45%, and the three-point shooting rate was [-]%. What else can I say? Whether it is paper data or actual performance, the Blazers The team did their best.”

"Maybe the internal problems of the Lakers are one of the reasons for their failure, but the strong strength of the Trail Blazers is the key to the victory of the city of tearing. From the current point of view, the two players who have made drastic changes to the lineup in the West this summer Among the teams, the Trail Blazers have the upper hand for the time being!" Kenny Smith finished his final summary, and then he said the closing words that the audience was too familiar with.

This game is over, and people have also discovered that the map of the NBA seems to be changing
After winning the game at home, Nell Orsi was naturally in a very good mood.Whether a general manager can be supported by fans and management depends on whether he operates the team properly.The so-called operation is not about accumulating big names with great fanfare in the summer, but whether it can find players that the team needs and can make the team win.Judging by his performance in the preseason and the first regular season, Nell Orsi undoubtedly did this.

In fact, none of the superstars that Olsi introduced to the team this summer, at least compared to the Lakers F4 and last year's Heat Big Three, the Trail Blazers' signings this summer are nothing worth mentioning.Although it is not the most dazzling, there are already voices from the outside world, commenting that Orsi's signings this summer are the most successful.

"The team seems to be on the right track, and I am looking forward to working in such a team." Opposite Orsi's desk, there is a tall, burly middle-aged man sitting.This guy seemed to be older than Ricard.

"Are you really sure? Although the contract has been signed, we can still change it." Orsi originally hoped that the guy in front of him would hold a higher position, such as a marketing consultant and personnel manager.But he firmly told Orsi that he hopes to work in the coaching staff.

"Of course, I've had enough days in an office. I just want to be close to the arena, not operate behind the scenes." The burly man smiled, and this smile was as terrifying as An Jie's smile when he was on the court.

"Dong dong dong" During the conversation between the two, there was a knock on the door of Orsi's office.Orsi and his guest in the office glanced at each other, and they both guessed the identity of the visitor.

When Rickard met Divac in person for the first time, he was amazed.A European basketball legend actually visited the office of the head coach of a small college team.No one would be able to believe everything in front of their eyes immediately.

Five years later, when Orsi opened the door and Ricard found Divac sitting in Orsi's office, his mood was very peaceful.He had already heard from Orsi that Divac would serve as an assistant coach.Moreover, after spending a year in the NBA, Ricard has seen many stars, big and small. When he saw Divac again, it was not as shocking as it was back then.

"Be safe, coach Ricard." Divac stood up, and both Orsi and Ricard had to raise their heads to communicate with him in an instant.

"You're finally here. Did you see the team's performance in the first game?" Ricard greeted Divac in an easy-going manner. The two had always cooperated.

"I saw it, the whole audience watched it. Now with me, their performance will be even better!" Divac winked at Ricard. Since Serbia needs to step down from a government position, there are many The procedure has to go, so Divac also failed to catch up with the team's summer training camp and opener.But fortunately, it doesn't seem too late to report now.

"Let's go, the lads are all training on the field. If you want to work, you can start now!"

Ricard and Divac chatted and laughed, left the office and walked towards the battlefield that belonged to them.Orsi watched the backs of the two coaches disappear into the corner of the passage, feeling unspeakably gratified in his heart.Please, this season must be a success!
"One! Two! Three! Go! Very good, come again! One! Two! Three! Go!." The training ground is very noisy, and now all the players are doing their own things according to the arrangement of Ricard and the coaching staff special training.

An Jie is now facing two trainers who are armed to the teeth with two protective gear and are holding two large pads.They are training the coherence of Anjie's footsteps. What Anjie has to do is to lean on the two "sandbags" with his back, and under the trainer's push and command, quickly use his footsteps to complete the hook under the interference.

Although An Jie is already familiar with this movement, it is still necessary to practice it over and over again.

Once again, An Jie held the ball and leaned against the trainer holding the pad.The trainer was sweating profusely from An Jie, but An Jie didn't even catch a breath like a normal person.

He moved his steps lightly, glanced at the basket, and then An Jie hooked his hand.But this time, An Jie's basketball did not fall into the net, but was slapped away by a big hand extending from behind.

An Jie turned his head in surprise, and found Divac's bearded face.

"Too careless! How did I teach you before? There are dangers on the basketball court, you have to observe every corner around you! Once you let your guard down, even an old man like me can cover you!" Divac was dressed in sportswear , yelling at An Jie pretending to be serious.This scene naturally made all the players focus on it.

"Old guy!" Anjie smiled, and pushed Divac with his chest.Unexpectedly, Divac staggered several steps back and almost fell.

"This brat, the body is completely different from what it was back then!" Although it was just a joking collision, Divac was surprised by An Jie's change in his heart.

"Okay, hello everyone! Starting today, I will be a member of the team's coaching staff. Who am I? I don't need to introduce any more. In the days to come, I will work with Ricard and other coaches, Responsible for your daily training and competition arrangements. Everyone, work together." Divac's self-introduction was very short and rough, which matched his style.The players of the Trail Blazers also applauded the old man and welcomed him to join the big family of the Trail Blazers.

Divac nodded politely at the players, but An Jie knew that this old devil was not a good stubble.In the days to come, many players will be tormented by him to the point of being "too painful to live"
The last piece of the puzzle is in place, An Jie, can these pieces be put together into the O'Brien Cup?
The 12-13 season will be very different!
