Chapter 18 Lenny Wilkens ([-])

Verus stood up and said seriously: "I definitely didn't mean to offend you, I just wanted to express my personal opinion, please correct me if it's right or not."

Lenny Wilkens looked at the child who was about the same age as his grandson in front of him. In his eyes, Verus was just a child, which gradually softened the eyes in his eyes, and said, "Tell me, I All ears."

Since Verus came, he must have done his homework in advance, and said cracklingly: "This season, the Eagles shot more than 44% from the field, 74.3% from the free throw, 45.3 rebounds, 18.9 assists, 94.3 points and 99.7 points per game. , You must feel that you have done a good job, to be honest, it is not easy to lead a team of ordinary players to achieve such a result."

Double hall of famer Lenny nodded secretly. It was obvious that a rich second and third generation had put in a lot of effort, but he still didn't speak and waited for the next one.

Verus knew that it would be impossible not to throw some big news. He said: "The first Pacers in the Eastern Conference in the same period are not as good as your Eagles in rebounds, and their shooting percentage and free throw assists are not much better than your team. You must not be very upset. Take it easy."

Lenny bowed his head and remained silent. This was also a question he couldn't figure out. Verus continued: "Let's look at the No. None, but I can conclude that they won this year's championship, and the Pacers have no chance at all."

Lenny raised his head and his eyes glowed a little. He saw a strong confidence in Verus, and he had felt a similar aura from many top players on the court.

Verus said eloquently: "The development of basketball, from the beginning of no three-point line and no paint area, to the current pick-and-roll breakaway triangle attack to pull empty basket stars to single-handedly, has gone through generations and dynasties. A variety of training methods and tactics emerge in endlessly.”

"Why do I say that Zen Master's Lakers will win without a doubt, because Phil Jackson has firmly grasped the pulse of the current basketball development. The other teams have no chance of winning the series."

"From the beginning of the Bulls Dynasty, everyone thought that Phil was a fan of the offensive winning theory, but in fact we were all wrong. From the Bulls to the Lakers, they scored high points in several games."

"Zen Master is an old tortoise with a sniper rifle on his back. No matter how ugly the scene is or how many points he falls behind, as long as there is no major problem with the defensive rotation on the field, he will never call a timeout because it is meaningless. The opponent's hot hand will not last. 48 minutes, as long as the opponent's total score is limited to 90 or even 85 points, his team with the best offensive combination in the league will definitely win."

"In addition to the pure three-point shooter like Steve Kerr in the Bulls' two and three consecutive dynasties, in fact, his Zen master's team was full of the best defensive players and zone defense experts in the league at that time. The same is true for the Lakers. The league's anti-counterfeit marking was turned a blind eye by all the referees' collective amnesia under the general environment favored by the league."

"Only if you show 120% or higher strength and luck, can you win one or two sets against Zen Master. It is impossible for you to have unnatural luck in 7 out of 4. From a probability point of view, it is almost zero."

"Other coaches in the NBA around 2000 slowly realized the essence of Zen Master's winning philosophy. I believe that in the near future there will be a team with facial paralysis that will be more difficult to deal with than Zen Master and his Lakers, because they will compress the opponent's score to 80 points, 75 points or even lower, it doesn’t matter if they don’t get 80 points, because you don’t even have 70 points at that time.”

Lenny's eyes flickered, and he said: "What you said, the facial paralysis, refers to Popovich and his Spurs, I really think there is another team that can win against the Lakers, but The Spurs' twin towers are still not strong enough."

Verus laughed and said: "Now it seems OK that Bang Kobe is invincible than O'Neal, but there are two old sayings in China. One point must be united for a long time, and the long-term must be divided. If there is no me, the first 21 years of the NBA in the 10st century will be The Spurs and the Lakers take turns, and the other teams occasionally get lucky and grab a championship."

Lenny was amazed at the super-confidence of this young man, and asked involuntarily, "Listen to your tone, OK, can the combination be defeated?"

This is a problem of the century that plagues many coaches in the entire NBA league. Without the spoiler of Verus, the traveler, the invincible Lakers will easily win three consecutive championships since 2000, and Shaquille O'Neal will win the NBA Finals MVP three times.

Verus said lightly: "There is no absolutely invincible combination. K is just a scorer. Even if he is the person closest to God, he is still a human being, and he has a way to deal with it. O, who seems to be the most incomprehensible, is actually Easiest to do."

Lenny stood up in surprise, not even caring about dropping the cigar in his hand, and asked anxiously, "Will the plan come out?"

Verus pretended to be expressionless: "It's very simple, send him to the free throw line."
