Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 10: Kobe O'Neal at the Lakers

Solve the problem yourself?Zhou Yu thought for a while, then suddenly widened his eyes and said in embarrassment:

"Sister Wang, I'm really not impatient to that extent!"

Wang Hui sighed when she heard the words, and said in a slow tone:

"Big Zhi, as a normal man, it's not surprising that he has such thoughts. But, it's better to find a girlfriend, and don't indulge yourself easily. A magician is a typical negative example."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but shivered. It is well known that magicians indulge in diseases, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.However, his wife in the previous life was a full eight years younger than him, and she is only in the second grade of elementary school now, so how can they continue their relationship.

The two of them were chatting about some private topics when Zhou Yu's cell phone rang again. It was past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Who could call him so late?

Glancing at the caller ID, it turned out that the call was from the idol Kobe. Zhou Yu immediately lifted his spirits and quickly pressed the connect button.

"Wang, congratulations, you have officially signed with the Lakers."

"Thank you, Kobe, are you still up?"

"Not yet, I'm playing in the arena."

He was still in the arena at such a late hour, it seemed that this dude was worthy of being called "the man who can see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning", Zhou Yu sighed in his heart.

"Kobe, you called me so late, do you want me to go to the arena to play with you?"

Zhou Yu asked.

"That's not true. I just heard that you are going back to China to prepare for the Olympics, so I specially want to call to persuade you."

Bryant said.

"Persuade me? Persuade me what? Don't you want me to go back to China?"

Zhou Yu was a little puzzled.

"Rookies like us should take advantage of this time to polish their skills through team practice games and NBA preseason games in order to gain more playing time in the regular season.
Although I don't know much about the basketball system in your country, I know that if you miss this golden period, you may regret it for the rest of your life. "

Zhou Yu's heart trembled. Kobe's words were not unreasonable. This period of vacancy before the official start of the NBA game was indeed crucial to him as a rookie.

"Although you temporarily refuse the call of the national team, once you become famous in the NBA, I believe that one day, the national team will still recruit you into the team."

Kobe continued to persuade.

"Kobe, thank you for your advice, I know what to do."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking emotionally, he hung up the phone hastily.

"Big Zhi, Kobe is right. The few months before the regular season are too critical for you, and you really shouldn't miss it."

Wang Hui followed suit.

Zhou Yu nodded, and then dialed the phone of the national team coach Gong Luming. After several rings, the phone was finally connected.

Before Gong Luming could speak, Zhou Yu couldn't wait to say:

"Coach Gong, I have decided not to return to China for the time being, I hope you can understand."

"Da Zhi, what are you talking about! Are you crazy!..."

Before Gong Luming finished his angry words, Zhou Yu hung up the phone in a hurry, and then his chest heaved violently.

Reborn on Wang Zhizhi, although he tried his best to avoid conflict with the Bayi team and the national team, he finally broke completely.

"Big Zhi, don't take it to heart, concentrate on playing every game well, and don't think about other things."

Wang Hui came over and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, comforting him with kind words.

Zhou Yu nodded dully, and an inexplicable sense of loneliness crept into his heart.

In the following days, Zhou Yu participated in the daily training of the Lakers during the day, and went to the "Basketball Superstar Growth System" to participate in basic basketball training when he came back at night. He was exhausted all day long.

Fortunately, his hard work has finally paid off. The various attribute values ​​​​in the player strength panel have increased. Although it is very slow, he is gradually improving after all.

Zhou Yu set a small goal for himself, which is to raise his own attributes from bronze to silver before the NBA regular season.

The NBA Draft was held as scheduled. Not surprisingly, the No. 13 pick was won by "The Answer" Alan Iverson. Kobe was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the [-]th overall pick in the first round, and was then exchanged to the Lakers. The main center Divac.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers ushered in "little fish" Fisher with the 24th pick in the first round. Soon after, the Lakers poached "big shark" O'Neal from the Magic with a huge contract of 7 million US dollars in seven years.

The embryonic form of the Lakers dynasty has basically taken shape, but the tactical drill is short.

To Zhou Yu's surprise, probably due to the improvement of his own strength attributes, he can now see not only his own comprehensive strength, but also the opponent's strength.

For example, Kobe, although he has a certain talent, but the attribute values ​​in the player strength evaluation are not high, and the difference is quite large:

Outside shooting attribute value: 75, level: silver;

Attribute value of strong inside line: 70, level: silver;

Defense attribute value: 70, level: silver;

Rebound attribute value: 65, level: bronze;

Assist attribute value: 70, level: silver;

Dribble attribute value: 80, level: gold;

Strength attribute value: 65, level: bronze;

Physical attribute value: 70, level: silver;

Speed ​​attribute value: 70, level: silver;

Bounce attribute value: 80, level: gold;

Tactical understanding attribute value: 65, level: bronze.

Comprehensive strength assessment: NBA substitute players.

It can be seen that Kobe's dribbling and jumping abilities are relatively outstanding, both of which have reached the gold level, but his rebounding, strength and tactical understanding ability are only at the bronze level, which seriously lowers his overall strength.

In other words, Harris put Kobe on the bench in the first place because of his strength, not prejudice against him.

Looking at O'Neill's comprehensive strength evaluation, Zhou Yu's jaw almost dropped in shock. All his abilities and attributes have reached the platinum level, and his comprehensive strength evaluation is actually an NBA superstar!

At this time, O'Neal was just 24 years old, and he had basically reached the top level of the NBA. No wonder he could play games in life.

When Kobe first came to the team, he only had a good relationship with Zhou Yu. He rarely communicated with other players, and he just practiced hard in silence.

On the other hand, O'Neill is the complete opposite. When he first came to the team, he became "acquainted" with his teammates. He even put his arms around his shoulders and put on his suspenders to talk about sex jokes, making the training ground look like a birthday party.

Kobe, who has always trained rigorously, was very dissatisfied with this, and often nagged in Zhou Yu's ear:

"O'Neill is so awesome, isn't he relying on his big butt and size, what's so great about it."

Zhou Yu felt a little helpless about this. The two of them would join hands to create the Zijin Dynasty for three consecutive championships in the future. Unexpectedly, the consequences of disintegration were planted when they first joined the team.

It seems that after he joins the Lakers, in addition to working hard to improve his own strength, he must also act as a mediator for the two of them, otherwise it will be difficult for the Lakers to exert their strongest strength.

With the whistle of head coach Harris, all the Lakers players quickly gathered together and consciously stood in two rows to listen to the coach's daily arrangements.

Harris first explained the Lakers' future tactical play. In short, it is based on O'Neal on the inside, and other players look for shooting opportunities on the outside through interspersed running positions and pick-and-roll cooperation.

In fact, it is not surprising that Harris has this idea. The Houston Rockets, which achieved two consecutive championships not long ago, achieved great success with Olajuwon as the core and several other shooters.

And O'Neal, who is also one of the "four major centers", is not inferior to Olajuwon. In addition, Van Exel and Eddie Jones on the outside also have certain long-range shooting capabilities, so it is reasonable to adopt this style of play. .

But Kobe didn't think so, and quickly raised his hand to raise his objection:
"Coach, I think this style of play that focuses on the inside is a bit inappropriate."

"Kobe, what's wrong, let's hear it."

Harris was taken aback.

"The reason why the Houston Rockets have succeeded in adopting an inside-based style of play is because Olajuwon not only has the strength to play inside, but also has a certain aim in mid-range shooting, which will give the team more offensive space.
But O'Neal is different. He only has the offensive ability near the three-second zone, and has almost no mid-range shooting ability.
If you encounter a team with strong internal strength, the internal offense will stagnate, and it will be difficult to find good shots from the outside. Therefore, I think it is more appropriate to adopt a "combination of inside and outside" style of play. "

Kobe straightened his back and talked eloquently.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but secretly raised his thumb. He didn't expect Kobe to have such profound insights at such a young age. It's not easy.

While admiring him, he suddenly saw that O'Neill's big black eyes were staring at Kobe unkindly, and it seemed that the words "your uncle's" were about to blurt out.
