On September 9, the team opened the training session. The media and fans who bought the team package tickets could visit the venue. The entire training hall was full.But the Lakers fans still support him very much.

To put it bluntly, players still rely on their strength to speak.Kobe is capable enough, his style of play is also chic, and his looks are considered stylish among blacks, which is very in line with the city of Los Angeles' pursuit of "beauty".Moreover, the Lakers are one of the top teams in public relations after all. Creating a "prodigal son" character design for Kobe is more in line with the legend and story of a protagonist, isn't it?

In addition to watching the team's training games, fans who purchased the package can also get a short-sleeved T-shirt with the Lakers logo as a commemoration.Ke Yan also received one, and put it on his long-sleeved T-shirt very simply, which also made him more conspicuous.

As usual, the players ran laps with the physical trainer first, and then warmed up by shooting. Ke Yan and the team's chief assistant Frank Hamblen recorded the physical conditions of the players on the sidelines, and at the same time discussed the distribution of training tasks for a while.From the perspective of the most basic shooting warm-up performance, the Lakers have not many players who have practiced this summer. In fact, Anderson, who has been training after signing the trial training, and Luke Walton, who performed well in the finals last season, are adjustments. The two better players, Butler and Atkins, are not bad, but including the core player Kobe, it will take a period of adjustment to get back to the state.

After the warm-up, four players, Butler, Atkins, Devin George, and Brian Cook, started training under the leadership of Ke Yan and the shooting coach.

However, as they practiced, several people felt something was wrong.

Keyan arranged a lot of outside shooting training for them!

A three-pointer with a tentative step from the top arc, a quick three-pointer after catching the ball from the bottom corner, and a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll...

Normally speaking, the training session the week before returning from the offseason focuses on the recovery training of the physical state, so that everyone can get used to the feeling of the new season. The focus is on shooting training, what the hell?

"In the new season, the team's style of play will be very different. Kobe will hold the ball more and attack from the outside. The team's offensive and defensive rhythm will be much faster than last season. We will use Kobe's strong scoring ability And the ability to attract double-teams is a fulcrum in tactics, and the players that the team needs are players who can stretch out the offensive space and grasp the scoring opportunities.” Ke Yan explained.

It sounds like whoever shoots more accurately will get more playing time?Of course, it's not just such a simple matter, otherwise, what is the difference with the insede-out where O'Neill occupies a dominant tactical position?Ke Yan also continued to explain in detail. First of all, under the fast pace, the demand for outside players to run without the ball has increased. Compared with O'Neal, who is sharp in the three-second zone and can attract three or four people to double-team, Kobe can The space created is definitely not enough. This has nothing to do with strength, it is simply determined by the difference in the positions of the two core players.Secondly, although Kobe is the main attack of the team, there is Pippen beside Jordan, let alone Kobe, but Pippen must first adapt to Jordan in order to further demonstrate his all-round attributes of Batman.Keyan's expectations for Butler are higher than Odom's.

Because it is a public training session, there will not be any public tactical drills, or the tactics of the drills are not what the team will adopt in the new season.On the contrary, the must-have event is the group match. After all, it is to give back to the fans.

Tomjanovich and Brian Shaw led the main players, Atkins, Kobe, Odom, Grant, and Mihm put on the yellow vests that symbolize the main players.Hampton and Keyan selected players from the bench. Terry Brown, Caron Butler, Luke Walton, Brian Cook, and Chris Anderson faced each other in handsome training uniforms.Both sides can also play unselected players according to the situation.

Ke Yan walked up to Butler, smiled and said, "Caron, I'm looking forward to your contest with Kobe later. If you can perform well, my persuasiveness in proposing to Rudy to transfer you to the starting lineup will increase. A lot, remember, play with Luke a lot, he's a great passer."

Terry Brown is a relatively mediocre point guard with a relatively mediocre style of play. Apart from being more stable, making fewer mistakes, and not easily losing his position on the defensive end, he has no special advantages.In Ke Yan's arrangement, his task is only to dribble across the half court, and then do off-ball pick-and-roll runs, and Luke Walton is tasked with organizing the series.This second-generation ball is a player with a high basketball IQ. In the finals last season, his debut lubricated the team's obscure offense and helped the Lakers win the only victory in the finals. The disadvantage is that his physical fitness is average. Without much athletic ability, the shooting is not accurate, and the defense is not good.Of course, that is based on the starting player of the championship team. At this stage, the Lakers have no right to dislike this kind of player, because there are many players who are worse than him.

Brian Cook can be regarded as an alternative power forward position in the league. To put it simply, he is an insider who relies on outside shooting for his food, referred to as "spatial insider".If he entered the league ten years or even five years later, he might have more playing time and get a longer meal ticket. But at this period, except for Ke Yan who is willing to arrange tactics for him, other coaches are willing to play. Not very good at using him.In addition, except for shooting, basically all shortcomings.

On the bench, besides Butler, another player who is expected to be promoted to the starting lineup by Ke Yan is Anderson.Divac's absence due to injury is an opportunity for him. If he can suppress Mihm in direct matchups, the team has no reason not to reuse him. After all, the flying birdman is more gimmick than the honest Mihm, and Los Angeles, It is a city that attaches great importance to the eyeball effect.

In the final moments, Ke Yan hastily arranged a few breakthrough tactics and off-the-ball back-running arrangements, and the game officially started.

The basketball was thrown into the air, and Anderson surprised everyone immediately.

Although he is slightly shorter than Mihm, his jumping and wingspan completely make up for his lack of height, and he flies up like a spring.

Butler dribbled the ball quickly, one step inside the three-point line on the left, and suddenly stopped for a jumper.Kobe withdrew too far back, and when he wanted to step forward to block, he was slow, and watched Butler make a successful shot.

"As the main attacker, if you find an opportunity, you should shoot resolutely. It's a training match, so there's nothing to hesitate!" Ke Yan's instructions echoed in Butler's ears, and he followed through firmly.

The yellow team attacked, Atkins took it to the frontcourt, then handed the ball to Odom, and Luke Walton defended close.Odom turned around and passed the defense flexibly. Facing Anderson's supplementary defense, Odom hit the board with a high throw.

Odom is certainly considered an all-around fighter at the power forward position, but he is not flexible at the third position, and he can pass Walton so easily. This guy's defense is really fucked up.

Fortunately, on the offensive end, Walton made the right handling when handling the ball. By passing the ball, he created a one-on-one opportunity for Anderson under the basket. Unfortunately, Anderson's strong attack was interfered by Kobe who defended. , failed to score the ball.

In fact, Kobe was suspected of blocking the ball, but the trainer who played the guest referee gave Kobe face and just gave the ball to the purple team.

A foul ball was issued, Walton ran to catch the ball, made an emergency stop for a jumper, and the ball missed under the interference of Odom. Anderson, who had just eaten up, forcibly took off the offensive rebound from behind Mihm, took off continuously, and put the ball on the ground. into the basket.

In the first few minutes of the game, Anderson's presence was full, which also made the fans on the scene focus on this exaggerated birdman.
