super small forward

Chapter 274

From another point of view, the current Lakers have a worse environment than the Lakers that Clarkson stayed in in Liu Ren's memory!

At any rate, the Lakers can stand out if they have the strength, because there is no one available, and the management means to train new players, and by the way, they can get the No. [-] pick, so there is still a chance to stand out.

But this Lakers team is strong and the goal is the championship. Naturally, it is impossible to spend too much effort on training new players, and there are enough personnel in every position, especially the backcourt. Going in the direction, even if Antetokounmpo is counted as an insider, there are only five authentic insiders. The management has begun to deliberately want Liu Ren to swing to the third and fourth positions.

In terms of point guards, Jeremy Lin and Nash will definitely occupy more than 30 minutes of playing time. Antetokounmpo also plays point guard from time to time, so there are not many opportunities for the two rookies.

LaVine has a big heart. The management has already told him that he is the core point guard of the Lakers in the future. Let him train well and patiently learn from Nash and Jeremy Lin. He is naturally not in a hurry.

But Clarkson is different, but no one will give him any guarantee. The management gave him a two-year minimum salary. Confidence in scouting has a lot to do with it.

So Clarkson has a great sense of crisis, looking for opportunities to strengthen himself anytime and anywhere.

Although LaVine has a big heart and no sense of crisis, he also wants to become stronger. The management asked him to wait, and he didn't want to waste time waiting, but had to be fully prepared.

The two rookies are planning their future, and the match between Liu Ren and Kobe on the other side has also come to an end.

Now in the tactics of the Lakers team, whether it is the tactical role or the sense of presence in the game, Liu Ren is undoubtedly stronger, but this kind of heads-up, he really can't handle Kobe, and lost to kobe.

Kobe's one-on-one play is too powerful, he can use any technique to deal with opponents from any position on the offensive end, and he can put pressure on Liu Ren on the defensive end with plenty of physical strength.

Putting aside the aspect of physical strength, Liu Ren felt that Kobe's defense was better than Leonard's, mainly reflected in the details.

Leonard's strong defense has a large system bonus, while Kobe really relies on his own defense.

Liu Ren now feels that if the league owes Duncan the best defensive player, in fact, Kobe should also have the best defensive player in terms of defensive continuity and efficiency throughout his career.

Those who are as dominant on both offense and defense as Kobe, rarely appear in the entire NBA history, and there are only one or two every decade.

"Hahahaha, I told you that you can't beat me, practice more! Where's your beautiful butler? Ask him to make me a tempura, it's really delicious!" Kobe said with a 'crazy' laugh , with instructions.

"Do you really treat my house as a restaurant? Tempura is tempura? Today is oden, do you like it or not?" Liu Ren said angrily. Losing is always uncomfortable, and you have to meet such an owner.

Liu Ren misses that cold Kobe so much now, what a good old man, how did he become so stinky and shameless now?

"Oden? It's not bad. Your housekeeper's skills are really good. Whenever you ask my nanny to come and learn." Kobe is really not picky.

"Oden? Wow! I'm going to take a shower!" LaVine threw everything aside when he heard that he ate. The legendary person who eats everything is the kind of person he said.

"By the way, I'm going to pack in a while. Joanna heard that I have delicious food here every day, and she kept asking me to bring some back." LaVine's voice came from the bathroom.

"You can ask her to play with her next time. Xiao Ai is a pregnant woman who is idle and bored." Liu Ren rolled his eyes and said.

"Yes! Thank you boss for reminding me!"

These people don't know how to be polite at all!
"But it seems Americans don't know how to be polite..." Liu Ren shook his head helplessly.

……

On the morning of the 17th, Liu Ren came to the Toyota Center for training at [-] o'clock early, and found that two people had already come.

One is an old man who has been bald beyond repair, and even the hair around the Mediterranean is very thin, and the other is Kobe.

"This old man should be Bickerstaff, right? I have a little impression." Liu Ren remembered that Bickerstaff had been the chief assistant coach for Mike Brown in the Lakers for a year before Howard came to the Lakers. It can be said that the Lakers' popularity in the league that year was largely due to this old coach.

In the year Howard came, Mike Brown was fired. The first coach of Kupchak and Old Bath was actually not D'Antoni, but Bickerstaff, but the old coach thought he was old and could not Suitable for the position of head coach, only willing to be an interim coach. Before D'Antoni took office, he led the team to a record of 4 wins and 1 loss. Before that, Mike Brown led the team with a 5-game losing streak.

After D'Antoni came to the Lakers, he immediately helped his elder brother to the position of chief assistant. Bickerstaff resigned and stayed at home because of this, and now he is invited back by the coaching staff with a high salary.

With an annual salary of 400 million, the Lakers spent a lot of money in order to get Bickerstaff back out. You must know that many team coaches do not have such a high salary.

"Hey, Bernie, Kobe, you guys are really early." Liu Ren greeted him proactively.

"Of course, I will definitely be earlier than you!" Kobe was a little proud.

"Boss, um, we met again. I really didn't expect that shy kid to become a big star." Bickerstaff said kindly, as if he was a kind old man.

Bickerstaff’s coaching experience can be traced back to the 80s. By the end of the last century, he didn’t intend to be the head coach anymore, but when the Bobcats were established in the early [-]th century, he was invited to be the general manager. The coaches couldn't be recruited, so he could only come out of the mountain by himself.

Bickerstaff was, indeed, a benevolent age for his age.

Liu Ren smirked, he still had some impressions that this old coach took good care of the young people of the team, but he was the least good at dealing with this type of elders.

Seeing that Liu Ren was still shy, Bickerstaff shook his head with a smile. Everyone has their own personality, so he didn't interfere too much.

Bickerstaff asked Kobe to go to the video room to watch the Lakers game video of last season. After two years, the team has changed too much. He needs to do more research to rebuild the defensive system for this team. Research will do.
