Chapter 584 New UP Leader Kobe Bryant

Back in Sacheng, Su Yang took Brother Antetokounmpo to chat in detail.

"Giannis, you need to be more confident in your shots in the future. It doesn't matter even if you hit the iron continuously. Only when your shooting percentage reaches a normal level, the opponent will not dare to double-team Curry unscrupulously, and create better opportunities for Cousins ​​​​in the low post..."

Between words, the task given to Brother Antetokounmpo is very heavy.

Antetokounmpo didn't hesitate at all, and said that the coach would do it, and turned to training, but not just shooting in a dull manner, but to develop a fixed position, train smooth and fast ball, improve body coordination, etc. Quite scientific.

Su Yang was very satisfied with that kind of training.

Shooting is a complicated process, and it can't be practiced by standing still, otherwise Westbrook would have been invincible.

Su Yang was also very satisfied with that attitude.

Just after George's deal was completed, Su Yang talked to Antetokounmpo that it will take one and a half seasons to improve, so there is no rush.

The next day, the Kings played against the Lakers at home.

Considering that it might be Kobe's last visit to the Golden One Center, Su Yang asked the media department to prepare a commemorative video.

Taking advantage of training before the game, he sent out another invitation.

"If you don't want to join as a player, I can provide you with a coaching position. You don't need to be with the team. You can come whenever you want, or take the time to make a video analysis program, and give priority to helping the Kings players improve. It won't take up too much time.

The name is "detail", and I work together to become the highest level program, don't you want to be a producer? "

"Detail" has quite a big influence in the league. I remember that every update will trigger heated discussions in the NBA circle.

Kobe thought for a moment when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "This idea is very interesting. I will seriously consider it. Cooperation is better than tenure."

Su Yang responded with a smile, guessing that Kobe didn't want to have a relationship with the Kings as a player or coach, probably because he didn't want to be said to be with the Kings, but the cooperation in video analysis is a partnership, and he doesn't care, anyway, he is grabbing ESPN's ideas.

When the program is produced, it will first be released on MT short video, and then delayed release to other places to attract traffic.

The game started immediately.

To show respect, Su Yang arranged for Kobe to double-team at the beginning, which successfully inspired Kobe's fighting spirit and allowed him to score 10 points in a single quarter.

But the Kings were too strong, and the Lakers couldn't defend at all. After the first quarter, they led 38 to 21 by as many as 17 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Su Yang instructed Antetokounmpo to shoot more shots, not limited to three-pointers or mid-range shots, he can shoot as much as he can, and use the game as a substitute for training.

After the game, the Kings won 118 to 109.

Antetokounmpo made 16 of 8 shots, which is regarded as an efficient performance. The main thing is that the Lakers' defense is also poor, and there is basically no rotation system.

With a day off, the Kings Nine take on the Warriors.

The Warriors' strategy execution is very resolute: double-team Curry desperately, deliberately relax Brother Antetokounmpo, and quickly attack the fifth team.

In four quarters, the Kings lost 118 to 126 to the Warriors and suffered the seventh defeat of the season. It is almost hopeless to tie the 73 wins. The main Antetokounmpo is 14 of 5, Cousins ​​​​is also low in efficiency, only 19 of 9, and George has no chance. Efficiently limit Durant.

Participate in the press conference after the game.

Talking about Antetokounmpo's shooting problem.

Su Yang said calmly: "There is no problem with our tactical movement, but we failed to shoot the ball. Giannis needs time to improve his shooting skills. He has just changed from a small forward to a power forward, but I believe that you will see it soon." to his change..."

After beating the Warriors, the King rested for three days before fighting the Pelicans.

There was no pressure in the whole process, 109 to 97 took lightly.

Antetokounmpo made 11 of 7 shots efficiently, and took the initiative to practice after the game. Su Yang accompanied him to pick up the ball for a while, and at the same time chatted about power forwards such as Nowitzki and Malone, as well as centers such as Ewing and Robinson, who were also big , Why can there be such a high shooting percentage.

Between the words, Brother Antetokounmpo was fascinated.

Seeing this, Su Yang reminded: "In terms of shooting, your talent is not as strong as theirs. It is difficult for you to practice at their level, and you don't need to practice at their level. You only need to reach an average level so that your opponents dare not Let go of you easily..."

Some things really can't be achieved with hard work.

The free throw percentages of Kobe and Jordan are typical cases. The two training madmen can't practice 90%.

After the extra practice, the king flew to Salt Lake City overnight.

The three-way trip begins.

In the first game against the Jazz, the Jazz's defensive configuration was not enough to double-team. Curry caught Gobert's military training and scored 36 points to lead the team to victory, but Antetokounmpo only made 9 of 2 shots. Pushing too hard can cause muscle stiffness.

The whole team left Salt Lake City and flew to Los Angeles. After staying in the hotel, Mike Brown reminded and encouraged LaVine, because LaVine has been performing poorly recently. As a false starter, he has less possession of the ball, and the defensive pressure is still relatively high. There have been many parallel arguments.

Su Yang quickly wrote it down.

I also sigh that it is not easy to be a head coach. It is easy to ignore other players when paying attention to a certain player, and there is only so much energy.

After thinking about it for a while, I called Kobe and invited Kobe to guide LaVine, just after playing the Clippers, I had enough time.

Kobe readily accepted the invitation.

The next day, the Kings challenged the Clippers. Because Jordan and Griffin were injured and absent, they easily won 110-96. Antetokounmpo made 9 of 6 shots with a high efficiency, and Thomas Jr. scored a game-high 22 points and also sealed Block a Paul fast break layup.

Back in the locker room after the game, Kobe took the initiative to call LaVine to invite them to have dinner according to the previous agreement, and explained that it was Su Yang who initiated it. mentality processing.

LaVine was pretty excited when he got the call.

The boss is looking for someone specially for him, and the idol likes his attitude. That rookie can be treated like this, it's amazing.

George looked enviously at the side, and asked Su Yang with his hips on his hips: "Boss, how can I get this kind of treatment?"

Su Yang shrugged: "Next time you come to Los Angeles, I will arrange it for you! Or you can join LaVine and invite Kobe to cooperate with us. At that time, he will make a special program to help you remind you of the details of the game, so that you can feel the guidance..."

"Then let's try..." George looked at LaVine, and the two nodded at each other, their eyes full of excitement like fans.

In a blink of an eye, NO.19, the King challenged the Lakers.

Su Yang deliberately let the whole team attack around LaVine and George.

The lineup is still crushing and easily won 112 to 93. George made 22 of 13 shots, added 10 free throws, and scored 26 points. He also accepted Su Yang's proposal to exchange jerseys with Kobe as a souvenir, while LaVine made 9 shots 6 of 16 points.

The two teams shook hands after the game.

Kobe agreed to Su Yang's invitation in person, and decided that after the end of the season, they will engage in the "detail" program together and jointly establish a media company to prepare for the production of commercial or art films in the future, and then shoot documentaries and the like to open a new chapter in life.

But the company must be the one that holds the most shares and has absolute control, only giving Su Yang the right to propose and distribute dividends.

It doesn't matter to Su Yang, anyway, if you invest a small amount of money, it's best if you can make a lot of money, and it doesn't matter if you can't make a lot of money, it's like hiring a coach.

After finishing the three-game streak, the king flew back to Saskatchewan.

Without much rest, they faced the Eagles directly back to back.

The Eagles also adopted the defensive strategy of double-teaming Curry and relaxing Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo made 16 of 11 shots and scored 24 points efficiently to lead the team to victory. When interviewed by reporters after the game, he yelled at the live broadcast: "Listen! ! You better guard me!"

The next day the All-Star starters were announced.

Kobe voted king, Curry was elected to start the backcourt in the Western Conference, while Cousins ​​lost to Leonard by a narrow margin and failed to start.

Su Yang tweeted to solicit votes for Cousins ​​and George, and then held a meeting to discuss, preparing to face the Pacers led by Jokic,
