Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

In fact, Phil Jackson arrived earlier than the players. Ever since he decided to coach the Lakers... Phil Jackson's mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, the Lakers team took advantage of the situation and took away the championship that originally belonged to the Bulls. It also made him lose to Harris, whom he did not like very much, at the coaching level. Even if the Lakers won the championship this season, , and he also felt that Harris did not allow this team to perform at its best.

As for the other side…

When he coached the Bulls, he felt that he was unjustly defeated, but now that Jordan of the Bulls has retired and the coach of the Lakers has been dismissed, he is excited to coach the Lakers because the triangle tactic can also let the Lakers play, and with Jordan The Bulls of this era are different...the Bulls are strong on the outside and weak on the inside, while the Lakers are weak on the outside and strong on the inside.

Of course, strength is only relative. If you have to compare the shortcomings of the two sides, the Lakers' outside line is stronger than the Bulls' inside line, and such a team is an opportunity for him to show off his talents. What excites him especially is Kobe Bryant. His rapid growth allowed him to see the shadow of Jordan.

As for the new season, major media have expressed their opinions, saying that the Lakers' lineup is not as good as last season?

In his opinion... what really made the media have this idea was Barkley's retirement and the departure of Nick and Eddie. But the problem is that these do not hurt the fundamentals of the Lakers at all.

As long as Kobe can play Jordan's functionality in the triangle offensive system, the Lakers' combat effectiveness will still be fierce. More importantly, Jordan has never partnered with a center teammate of Li Shengli's level in his glorious career.

Another one that once again opened up the triangle tactic.

The team's requirements for other positions are not as high as imagined. It's best to have good players. You can play without them without affecting the overall situation. Not to mention that the players West has arranged for him are not weak and can even be considered good. Be experienced.

Li Shengli and Green are paired inside.

Backup center Tyrese Knight, who was traded to the Celtics, is back and can cover Li Shengli's spare time. There is no need to worry about the stable iron man Green, who averages 20 minutes per game, because there are Fox and Horton at the third position. , plus Ron Artest, the 16th overall pick in this year's first round.

As for outside options...

Kobe is definitely the starting candidate, and his partners can include Crotty, Fisher, and 98-level Tyronn Lue. Other substitutes can also be selected temporarily. The requirements are not high, as long as they can implement the tactical requirements. This was proven during the Bulls period, and even if reinforcements are really needed, there is still a chance before the mid-season deadline.

…

The players are assembled.

Jackson was preaching his coaching regulations in front. This is a routine ceremony for the new head coach. It is a way to draw a line for the players. At least they should train seriously. However, the current atmosphere is not as serious as expected. The following is The team of players was also very harmonious. By the time the coach finished speaking, everyone had gotten to know each other, and more of the 'newcomers' came to say hello and pay their respects to Li Shengli and Kobe.

Lee, I'm glad to play with you. Green is the oldest, but he has a kindness that is rare among league players.

Brother, then I won't welcome you. After all... you were originally from the Lakers. Even if you go home this time, we are all your brothers. Li Shengli likes good people, because he is a good person himself, and After he finished speaking, Kobe and several old teammates also smiled and said something to Green.

But when Li Shengli took the lead in saying this, Green was stunned, but after being stunned for a moment, he was still quite moved.

To be honest, Green has been playing in the NBA since 1985.

Even if you are of the same generation as Jordan, you have seen all kinds of players, and the league in those years had no shortage of arrogant and domineering young players, who were often beaten severely by Jordan, shouting the slogan Jordan is first, I am second.

As for now...

This is the era of Li Shengli.

The slogans shouted by the once arrogant madmen have changed from Jordan first and me second to victory first and me second.

Under such circumstances, Li Shengli could still express goodwill to himself in such a low-key manner. This is simply unimaginable, because the previous Jordan basically didn't pay much attention to others, but Li Shengli was willing, so this made him feel respected. Rare respect.

Li, you are a good person, completely different from what I heard! Green was very serious.

Brother, you are very discerning! Li Shengli was happy to accept this comment, and turned to the other new teammates and said: There are also Tyronn Lue, Ron Artest, and Dear new teammates, you...we still welcome you. We welcome you all to join. From now on, you will all be our own. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time.

And Tyrese Knight, welcome home!

After saying a few words, the new and old players this season knew each other, but unlike other people's smiles, Ron Artest, the rookie, sneered silently, which made Fei on the side Sher's face turned cold when he saw it. He didn't know how he could be so stupid.

audacious in the extreme?

So big that you don’t give Boss Li face?

…

Crotty, do you see that? Fisher whispered.

What's wrong? Crotty said without a smile.

Have you seen that kid? He seems to be dissatisfied with us. Do you want... to teach him a lesson? Fisher glanced at Crotty and consciously assumed the league's traditional responsibility of bullying newcomers, but Crotty did not Not too interested.

Damn, it's a pity that Ben isn't here. If he was here, he would have been the first one because he didn't want anyone to be too arrogant in our place. But now that Barkley and Rodman are gone, you are the only one left in our fighting team. One, Crotty, are you sure you don't want to organize it? Fisher continued to add fuel to the fire: Really, wait until this afternoon to see if the new coach wants to play a training match to find out. I'll go call someone, Fox and Horric are still there. Well, teach him a lesson directly and tell him not to be so arrogant!

Don't make trouble, Li doesn't like it! Crotty said coldly.

How about that? Fisher was very unhappy and waved to Horry and Fox next to him. When the two confused teammates came over, Fisher immediately said again: You saw Ron Artes Is this kid so special? If there is a training match in the afternoon, let’s work together to teach him a lesson. Don’t let him get too crazy!”

Oh my god, Fisher, that's amazing. Since when have you been organizing activities here? Horry joked.

Don't talk nonsense. You thought it was last season? I am considered the main player now, why can't I teach him a lesson? Fisher patted his chest and said proudly: Fox, are you coming?

What's the point of talking here? Fox glanced at him, Did Li lie? If he doesn't say it, I won't accompany you to mess around. Although this kid is indeed quite arrogant, I don't like it!

That's okay, it's just a sparring exercise anyway, teach him a lesson!

Okay, whatever you want, we can rely on you anyway if something goes wrong! Fox said it didn't matter.

Well, then even if you Fisher organized it this time. Horry also nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: But pay attention to yourself, Ben, Barkley, and Rodman are all gone now. Brother Green is still a good old man, and our current lineup is the most civilized in recent years. We shouldn’t let this kid ruin this hard-won... well, civilization!

That's right, we can be regarded as the league's civilized pacesetters this season, right?

Of course, Li hates troublemakers the most, and Crotty only listens to Li. Once Ben and the others leave, we won't have anyone who likes to cause trouble, right? Well, we're just afraid that one day those big brothers will beat them to death on the spot. , now it’s fine, we finally don’t have to live in fear anymore, we finally don’t have a big thorn in our side, I’m happy, I’m so happy!”

What about this kid? I don't think this kid is a good person?!

Impossible, how can you be so unlucky? You don't really think that Li is an evil magnet, do you?

That's right, let's not talk about this...for the training match this afternoon, let this kid be honest first!
