Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Before the training game, Jackson did not specifically arrange tactics. The two groups were completely free to play. In Li Shengli's group, Li Shengli didn't play much, but in Kobe's group, Kobe took most of the offense.

At this point, no one thinks there is a problem, and no one dares to say there is a problem. After all, Kobe has firmly secured the second place in the team, and in the previous games, Kobe was in poor condition and kept hitting the iron, let alone his teammates. I didn't dare to say anything, even Harris wouldn't say anything, because... Li Shengli wouldn't let me say anything.

The eldest brother and the second child wear the same pair of pants.

This is the consensus of all the Lakers generals, so Kobe can play whenever he wants and no one has any objections. This also saves Jackson the trouble and carefully observes Kobe's offensive moves and ability to interpret and handle the game.

It is also a singles game. Kobe's handling has the shadow of Jordan, whether it is back or back, but this does not affect the efficiency on the field, and it also makes Phil Jackson's eyes blazing, because Crotty really can't guard him.

If it is a normal game.

Crotty sticks to others for single defense on the perimeter, and no one can take advantage of it. But this is just a training game, and everyone is not too serious about Kobe's defense, so in this case... Kobe's shooting environment is quite good, so you can play whatever you want. Yes, and his way of breaking Crotty's one-on-one defense is to play from the outside like Jordan, turn around and break through to catch jump shots.

Lax defense cannot fully measure Kobe's strength!

But the problem is that what Jackson looks at is not the end of the offense at all, but Kobe's first offensive action after encountering the defense. As long as the first wave of frontal defense can be broken, the follow-up defense does not matter whether it is lax or not.

Because the opponent's defense speed is slow, Kobe can play on his own. If the defense speed is fast, then Kobe is equivalent to playing the role of Jordan, creating a certain area on the court that is overplayed and underplayed.

This is important!

It doesn't matter if Kobe is 100% in this game or if he misses a single shot.

Jackson now feels that Kobe is very malleable and it is very suitable to use the triangle offense as the Lakers' regular tactic. What's more important is that Li Shengli is still inside.

When he first arrived, the most common thing Jackson heard from management like West was... Li Shengli was a link that the Lakers never had to worry about missing. Even if he only grabbed rebounds, he could beat his opponents to death, and this didn't even require Wei. Steve and others said that he once coached the Bulls and felt the pain.

…

This team is perfect now!

Jackson will be very proud now, because whether it is Li Shengli's teamwork or Kobe's strong singles, they have given him what he wants most. Compared with the original Bulls... Although Pippin Pi has lived a very good life under the halo of Jordan. It's bitter, but in fact Pi Erye is very comprehensive and terrifying, and he is also an important part of the triangle offense.

But now the Lakers.

In addition to Li Shengli and Kobe, Jackson also needs a candidate, so in the subsequent observations... As a highly malleable newcomer, Ron Artest is on Jackson's observation list, and what is surprising is that there are other matchups. It's just a matter of clicks, but when it comes to Artest, it's really serious.

How should Kobe pass after attracting the defense?

After Artest got the ball, Horry defended him seriously. After playing a few rounds, Horry still couldn't suppress him. Fisher was so angry that he ignored Tyronn Lue and Kobe and directly cooperated with Horry. He was double-teamed inside, but it was useless to double-team him.

In the first round, he turned his back and turned for two points from long distance. Artest made a crisp hit through the net.

The second goal was still scored with the same action, but Fisher scored the third goal. The two double-teamed, thinking that Artest would be timid and pass the ball, but neither of them expected... this He was a ruthless man. He bumped into two people without saying a word, but he was still in great condition and scored two more goals in succession.

Did you clearly agree to teach the newcomers a lesson?

But why did he get beaten with blood by the newcomer in the end?

When Kobe saw how fierce his new brother was, he immediately gave away all his shots, but Fisher was so embarrassed and angry that he couldn't get off the stage at all. He couldn't even suppress double-teams, so what lesson could he ask, so he could only fight with Huo Li once again joined forces to drive people inside, allowing Li Shengli to take action.

…

A hit-after-hit offense?

Li Shengli, who had been looking outside, didn't feel too surprised.

Because this only means that this newcomer has good mid-to-long-range offensive ability and is in good condition today. When Fisher and Horry drove people in, Li Shengli finally made a move and pounced on the young Artest. His pull-up jumper hit a big block.

Oh, Li, it's beautiful! Fisher felt very comfortable.

Damn it, just shut up! Li Shengli cursed at Fisher, then looked at Artest, whose face was ashen and said: Don't pay attention to him, he is always like this. After a few days, he will get used to it. Okay, let’s finish this trial game now, the coaching staff is still waiting to see your performance, you can continue to play a few more times to try it out!”

Just hit him, I'll come right away!

Okay, go faster, otherwise you won't be able to take action!

This was Artest's first time talking to Li Shengli, and Li Shengli was quite polite and wiped Fisher's butt. After all, what Fisher did was indeed unreasonable. A lesson from a single opponent and a lesson from double-teaming are not the same. One thing.

…

There is no need to talk too much about the rules in the training games. It is almost the same now, so it is no problem to let Artest directly attack. However, after playing a few rounds, Artest immediately shut down because he was still hitting consecutively. , but as soon as he got inside, he was blocked continuously, and his head was almost smashed.

Observing Jackson from the sidelines, he discovered... Artest is a contradiction.

Call him agile, he is really agile, both in manual work and reaction.

You can say that he is not agile, but he is really not agile. His speed is only close to the passing line. When he enters Li Shengli's defensive zone and takes a shot, he cannot avoid the block at all. It is also impossible to pass the ball to Knight because of Li Shengli's speed. But he is much faster than him, and he can slap Knight with a big hat when he turns around.

In other words, all the shots Kobe gave up were blocked by Artest.

But Jackson saw it clearly... As an atypical agile player, Artest has good assist ability when he gets inside. The problem is that Knight's offense is not strong enough. If Li Shengli and Knight are replaced, The situation is completely different, but for the time being, Artest is autistic.

…

Ah~~~ Come on, keep fighting!

Giving up long-range shots, Artest made a mad dash to the inside and was beaten out.

I don't believe it, keep going!

Attacking the inside again, Li Shengli's post-up shot went directly to the sky.

Do it again, I don't believe it!

The ending didn't change much. When he focused on playing inside, he couldn't escape Li Shengli's defense no matter how hard he fought.

Damn it, it's impossible, how could I be so miserable?

This time Jackson called it over, and after the court turned into a bullfight between Artest and Lee Shengli, the situation worsened. Artest could hardly even take a shot. A big slap that blocks the sun.

…

It’s hard to bear the shame and anger!

Every newcomer who enters the league has not imagined that one day he will become a superstar. Artest has a bad temper, but he also thought about it, but what he didn't expect was... to be kicked out on the first day of training. The team boss had become a Muggle, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he gradually went crazy. His eyes were glaring like bells, his muscles were arched, and his whole body was red.

Is this crazy?

All the Lakers generals had already come to the sidelines to watch Artest being tortured. The same scene happened to Ben before, but Ben wasn't so crazy. The moment Artest went crazy, Crotty was all over his body. For a moment, there was a sense of déjà vu, and the Lakers generals also felt the harsh aura on Crotty, Ben, Rodman and even Barkley.

This person...is in danger!
