Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 148 Attempt at Number Three

Wang Dazhi: "When Elden was sidelined due to injury, I played as a starter. To be honest, it's not a special thing for me to play first!

I am very happy that you can recognize my strength, but compared to whether I can play first, I care more about whether I will stand on the court at the decisive moment! "

For the current Wang Dazhi, the status of the main force is not just what he needs, what he needs is the tempering of real knives and guns.

Shaquille O'Neal: "You are a young man who is so mature and frightening. I also watched the interview with you by the magician yesterday. You can use such psychological tactics at the last moment, which proves that you are a natural big man. Mister Scene!
I will propose to the coaching staff on this, you have the ability to be one of the five people who stay on the court at the last moment. "

Shaquille O'Neal was very satisfied with Wang Dazhi's answer. He thought that choosing Wang Dazhi as his direct descendant was the perfect candidate.

Wang Dazhi: "It's great to be recommended by you. I think the two of us have a natural understanding. When you and I play at the same time, it becomes very easy for me to increase the assist data."

Hearing that Shaq wanted to speak well for him, Wang Dazhi hurriedly made friends with the old man.

Shaquille O'Neal: "I have to say that your support is really good! Especially when I am in trouble, your passing always allows me to find a direct solution to the problem!
In recent games, you have always brought surprises to the team. Before, no one knew that you could dribble and break through. No one knew that you could get nine assists in a game. The defensive lateral movement ability you showed yesterday also impressed the coaching staff. !

I think you even have the ability to play the third position, a small forward who is about the same height as me, this world is really crazy!

Are you interested in trying number three? "

Gold always shines. Everyone can see the advantages of Wang Dazhi. The most important person in this team is the fat man who is not too fat lying in front of him. Wang Dazhi feels that his chance will come. up!
Wang Dazhi: "Of course! I hope I can have the ability to play positions three, four and five at the same time, so that no matter which team I face, I will have a relative advantage!
However, the process of trying the third position may be very difficult. After all, defending the orthodox third position is a big challenge for me. I am afraid that the team management will not have much patience for my attempt. , Once I play a bad game at the small forward position, I worry that it will affect my playing time and my status in the eyes of the coaching staff. "

Trying different styles of play will indeed enable players to develop in many ways, but appearing in a position that they are not good at will also appear as a great striker. Eddie Jones struggled because he was squeezed from the familiar shooting guard position. At the small forward position, Wang Dazhi was worried that he might also be unacceptable.

Shaquille O'Neal: "Whatever I recommend you do, I will be responsible for the process!

If you really can't play the third position, I will guarantee that you can return to the familiar fourth position at any time!

This is my team, I can still control such small things. "

Shaquille O'Neal sat up, and the 300-pound shark looked at Wang Dazhi like a giant mountain of meat, his tone full of infinite affirmation.

Wang Dazhi: "That's really great!
I believe that under your leadership, I will taste the taste of the championship soon! "

The boss of the team took the initiative to speak for himself, and Wang Dazhi naturally wanted to flatter him a few times in return.

Shaquille O'Neal nodded, saying that children can be taught!
On December 12th, in the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Philadelphia 29ers at home, Wang Dazhi didn't experience the feeling of confrontation at the third position.

Because the weird Philadelphia 76ers hardly have a decent third position, their starting lineup is center Scott Williams, forwards Clarence Witherspoon, Derek Coleman, The guards are Allen Iverson and Jerry Stackhouse.

Allen Iverson's growth environment in the first year was indeed not very good. The answer to the mid-range emergency stop jumper and breakthrough as the main offensive method was actually paired with three big men who hardly shot three-pointers, and last year's North Card prospect Jerry Stackhouse also needs to have the ball in his hands and has given away a lot of ball rights to Allen Iverson.

Clarence Witherspoon and Derek Coleman are both typical power forwards. Both of them have played more than 40 minutes. The matchup between Wang Dazhi and them is also quite satisfactory. The team is not at the same level at all. The Los Angeles Lakers have crushed their opponents throughout the game. In short, the current Philadelphia 76ers have not formed any threat to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The special year of 1996 was fleeting, and the 1996-1997 season also came to the second year. On January 1997, 1, the Los Angeles Lakers went to Sacramento to play away against the Kings.

In this game, Wang Dazhi played 32 minutes. He played half of the time in the third position of the team. He did feel uncomfortable at the beginning, but after a brief adjustment, Wang Dazhi still played some games in this unfamiliar position. Brilliant performance.

The reason why the coaching staff was able to make such a slightly weird attempt was entirely because of Shaquille O’Neal’s strong recommendation. Wang Dazhi was not at a disadvantage in both offense and defense against orthodox small forwards. Develop courage.

While Wang Dazhi got his workout, the Los Angeles Lakers also beat the Sacramento Kings 90-83.

The NBA schedule is sometimes very interesting. On January 1997, 1, the Los Angeles Lakers returned to the home court back-to-back. Their opponent was the Sacramento Kings yesterday.

The two teams fighting in different places played exactly the same game. If it weren't for the difference in the color of the team uniforms and the arena, the fans would even think that this game was a recording of the previous game.

Wang Dazhi also performed more easily in the third position. As for how much Wang Dazhi can do in the third position in the future, he still needs the test of some star small forwards.

However, because he was able to play in the No. 10 position, Wang Dazhi's average playing time has reached more than [-] minutes, which is a major benefit for him. If there is no such swing, it is impossible for Wang Dazhi to get such a long playing time.

The Grizzlies in 1996 were still in Vancouver. At this time, the Vancouver Grizzlies were trying their best to train their No. [-] pick Sherif Abdur-Rahim who was selected this year.

Although Rahim claims to be a power forward, he is purely skilled and capable of inside and outside. This characteristic also makes George Lynch, the third position of the team, the fourth position, and he is more like a small forward .
