Chapter 385 The New Lineup
Hearing what Su Yang said, Green's two big eyes immediately stared like copper bells, and his face was full of surprise, and his expression was about to overflow.

That's the best defensive player!

Although the degree of honor is not as good as the best first team or even the second team, the specific selection is very competitive. After all, there is only one spot every year. Even a great player like Duncan has never won the best defensive player. How can I be so good? force?
But after thinking about it again, Ben Wallace, as an undrafted pick, can be selected as the best defensive player four times, why can't I?
While thinking about it, Green's expression slowed down, and the shock in his heart was all converted into the motivation to become the best defensive player.

"I believe! Draymond will train with 120% motivation this summer. When the new season starts, the entire league will have a new understanding of how to defend. He will be like glue, bonding every position of the team. defending..."

Between words, Su Yang elaborated.

In addition to the basic wingspan and short stature, Green also has four excellent qualities of non-physical hardware in terms of defense.

The first is excellent defensive habits. Green understands that the ultimate goal of defense is to prevent opponents from scoring, rather than collecting data such as blocks or rebounds. When assisting in defense, he is extremely restrained in his body posture, using his wingspan and confrontation to interfere with opponents to ensure defensive efficiency. Maximizing it will not let the body lose control, thereby ensuring the continuity of the defense, and the actual defensive effect is much higher than that of Marcus Camby.

The second is that he is extremely good at cutting the ball. When he sees the opportunity, he will make a sudden attack. He often cuts the ball before the opponent is ready to make a shot. Green cut the ball praise plus.

The third is to be good at thinking. Green will use different defensive strategies according to different opponents. He also said that facing offensive masters, the defensive strategy in the first half may not be useful in the second half.

The fourth is the ability to learn quickly. Kobe pointed out in an issue of "detail" that Green almost blocked a shot in a certain defense. .

"The above content is my evaluation of Green's defense. It is difficult for you to quickly realize that he is very good at defense. It is not that ESPN cannot find a suitable defensive position. As for the offensive end, he will surprise you even more..."

Regarding the speed of Green's defensive rise, Su Yang is not exaggerating. After all, Green entered the league in 12 years in the previous life and was selected as the best defensive team in the 14-15 game.

After the words fell, there was a small commotion among the reporters participating in the media meeting, mainly due to Su Yang's serious expression and words.

Green himself was slightly distracted, staring at Su Yang and thinking: "Could it be that the coach has watched all my games? Am I that good?"

Kupchak was even more surprised, thinking: "I said on Twitter before that many people don't understand Green, and now at the meeting, they say that Green will shut up those people. Jim Buss is one of the people who need to shut up. Green should be able to To that level of praise...".

The reporters came back to their senses and began to interview Green. Su Yang occasionally explained a few words, and the meeting ended quickly.

Followed by the meeting between Thackeray and Johnson Odom, Su Yang continued to attend, and also planned to praise the two, so that they could integrate into the team as soon as possible. Towels, a compliment full of passion.

After the press conference was over, Su Yang returned to his office and chatted with assistant coach Darwin Hamm about the other party's possible going to the university as the head coach. There will be rifts.

In the early morning of July 2012st, the [-] NBA free market officially opened, and potential signings and transactions from all walks of life flocked.

James Harden's name unexpectedly appeared in the trade discussion, because the Thunder gave priority to renewing Ibaka's contract with 4 years of 4800 million US dollars, resulting in the Thunder's remaining salary space is relatively small, it seems that they are only willing to give Harden a 4-year 5200 million contract contract.

Harden could theoretically get a 4-year contract of 6000 million yuan. The Thunder's offer was 800 million less, and the two sides began to see-saw negotiations.

Some fans and experts suggested that the Thunder use the amnesty clause for Perkins to release 712 million salary space, and then renew Harden's contract with a maximum salary.

There are also fans and experts who believe that Harden's level is just like that. It's nothing more than three-pointers and fouls. With a little organization, Kevin Martin of the Rockets can replace him. In addition, Reggie Jackson is growing rapidly. There is no need for the Thunder to force Harden to stay. Sign first and then change.

In the face of heated discussions, Thunder did not respond.

Seeing those discussions, Su Yang couldn't help feeling that Lei Ting really didn't have a dynasty, and there was no way to force him, so he could only be a little rich.

Kupchak's work has also progressed, saying that he has contacted Ray Allen's team. At present, Ray Allen has not yet left the Celtics, but the Celtics have released news that Avery Bradley will is their answer at shooting guard.

Su Yang replied that he understood, and then he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, Harden, Deron, and Howard would not be traded.

The joint training before the Lakers Summer League started accordingly. JaMychal Green and Bazemore, as well as Scott Machado, who was previously favored by the Lakers but failed to be selected by the Lakers, rushed to the training base to gather one after another. The head coach is solely responsible for the direction.

During the training interval, Su Yang told Snyder directly: "Jai Michael Green and Kent Bazemore are two potential players. I hope to keep both of them. You don't have to favor them. Ensure appropriate tactics and normal appearances." Just time..."

Snyder nodded to understand, and the two talked about how to show Green's role on both ends of the offense and defense. Unlike the two undrafted picks, the Lakers should give Green more playing time and design offensive and defensive tactics around Green as a core player. .

On July 23rd, the entire Lakers team flew to Las Vegas for a ten-day summer league with [-] other teams.

Su Yang set two goals for Chasing Dream Green, one small one and one big one, to be selected to the best team and to be elected as the Summer League MVP.

According to the original trajectory, this time the Summer League MVP should be jointly elected by the big cousin Lillard and the Grizzlies rookie Josh Selby.

It's not difficult to grab Selby, but it's not difficult to grab Selby. After all, there are resources tilted, and the purpose is to increase Green's growth rate.

While the summer league was in progress, Ray Allen officially announced that he would sign a contract with the Heat, causing some fans of the Celtics to yell: "Actually be a traitor, join a team that just defeated the Celtics, and immediately deprive the Celtics of their glory. Meet each other.

The Heat's strength has been greatly enhanced by Ray Allen, and the probability of winning the championship has soared instantly. Many fans began to look forward to another 23VS24.

Such attention also made the Lakers' off-season operations a focus of discussion. As a result, Jeremy Lin, Barnes, Mike Roberts, and Diaw successively announced that they would sign with other teams, Sessions announced that he would jump out of the contract to test the free market, and McGrady announced his retirement.

The Lakers changed their lineup and did not introduce strong players. For a while, there were voices of pessimism and all kinds of ridicule.

In a blink of an eye, July NO.14, the summer league came to an end, the Lakers ranked first in the overall record, Chasing Dream Green won the MVP and the best team, JaMychal Green and Bazemore performed outstandingly, they completed the task satisfactorily, and returned with victory Los Angeles.

The signing followed closely, and Jay Michael and Bazemore successfully got the 1+1 contract, but Dreaming Green was only a 1+1 contract, and there was no full guarantee for the second year, so Dreaming Green complained to Su Yang privately , Su Yang replied that it might not be a bad thing.

Jordan Hill's contract extension was also completed quickly, and with two free market signings, the Lakers' lineup for the new season is basically finalized.

Center and power forward positions, Gasol, Draymond Green, Hill, Biedrins, JaMychal Green.

Small forward position, Artest, Jamison, Ebanks.

Shooting guard and point guard positions, Kobe, Curry, Blake, Jodi Meeks, Kent Bazemore.

The roster has a total of 13 players, as well as Goodlock, Darius Morris and other players who can be recalled at any time in the NBDL.

The Lakers announced the new lineup on the official Twitter. Many fans lamented that the bench lineup has become too weak and it is too difficult to defend the title.

　Asking for a recommendation ticket, I didn’t get a recommendation last week, and I have to rush this week, it’s too bad that I don’t have a recommendation.
