The game between the Lakers and the Celtics, the fourth opponent in the Eastern Conference's fifth consecutive trip, is on February 2, which is tomorrow.
The Lakers started playing the Pistons, their first away opponent in the Eastern Conference, on January 27th, and ended up playing the Heat on February 4th.
With five games to be played in eight days, the schedule is still very tight.
Generally, NBA teams will not develop intensive training for such consecutive away games.
Basically, it is some warm-up training, tactical system drills and training to adapt to the venue.
Because Du Kang has no plans to build a tactical system in the Lakers for the time being, the training of Lakers players is personal warm-up training led by the team's chief trainer Gary Vitti.
Well, very free.
In addition to Yi Jianlian, Nash and Howard.
Under Du Kang's guidance, Yi Jianlian, in less than a week, grew from a failed player in the NBA to a super attacker who can defeat Artest one-on-one in the training field.
And in the next group match, the blue team of Nash, Darius Morris, Ebanks, Howard, and Yi Jianlian also defeated Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Jordan Hill, Blake, and Ann Towan Jamison's Yellow Team.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yellow Team has more main players, more important rotations, with the old Lakers as the core, better tacit understanding, and naturally stronger strength.
But the final result was that the blue team of Nash, Howard, and Yi Jianlian defeated the yellow team 50-45 in a 20-minute match.
Yi Jianlian scored 14 points in this match, shooting from inside and outside, with a shooting percentage of 70%!
Especially his mid-range shot from the corner when he and Nash received a pass after the pick-and-roll, which made the Lakers yellow team unable to take care of themselves.
Insider on the yellow team's side.
A good defense is slow and cannot be made up for.
The fast defender is poor and short.
Yi Jianlian plays the yellow team's inside line, and he can make whatever shots he wants.
After Yi Jianlian and Nash opened up space on the outside, Howard was also at ease inside.
The three-piece combination of Nash, Yi Jianlian, and Howard actually seem to have a better understanding than the Lakers championship combination of Kobe, Gasol and Artest.
There are a group of professional players present, and they all have a certain vision.
That's why the combination of Nash, Yi Jianlian and Howard looks so good.
The key is, Nash looks completely liberated!
The key to why Nash was able to be liberated was Yi Jianlian!
He's fast, he can run, he can jump, he's seven feet tall, and he has such a solid mid-range shot.
This is simply Stoudemire of the Lakers!
If it weren't for the fact that Ebanks and Morris of the blue team are really bad and are too far behind Kobe and Artest, let's put it this way, the blue team can directly defeat the yellow team in this match!
So the question is, if Ebanks and Morris are replaced by Kobe and Artest, how strong will the Lakers be?
With Nash and Yi Jianlian as the core of the tactics, the Suns' run-and-gun tactics were used, coupled with Kobe, Howard and Artest...
Such Lakers are definitely very capable!
However, at this time, no one dared to voice this suggestion.
No matter Du Kang, Darwin Hamm, Gary Vitti, Kobe, Nash, or Howard, no one said such a thing.
At most, everyone is looking away from Kobe and Gasol.
Howard actually hesitated to speak.
He can accept supporting Nash and Yi Jianlian, not to mention that these two are his younger brothers.
Of these two people, one is the NBA's famous uncontested MVP, and the other is just a mere Chinese player. It is impossible to compete with him for the team's boss position.
What's more, the core of the offense now is Kobe, not him.
And when he was in the Magic, the core of the Magic's offensive tactics was not him, but Turkoglu.
As long as Kobe is removed from the strategic core position and Kobe is slowly marginalized, of course he supports it!
What's more, the core of the new team's tactics is still his younger brother, so it is more convenient to marginalize Kobe.
The coach's tactical grouping was definitely to prepare him to correct him and to provide theoretical support for defeating Kobe!
First the tactical system is marginalized, and then the team's status is slowly marginalized...
Although he always wanted to be the boss of the Lakers, he never considered himself a fool.
How could a player as successful as Kobe Bryant with the Lakers get rid of him so easily?
How can it be?
What he was angry about before was that Jim Buss promised him to be the boss, but Jim Buss and the team had no intention of messing with Kobe.
This made him feel cheated.
If Jim Buss and the Lakers are trying to get Kobe Bryant, he is willing to wait!
Kobe was working on O'Neal from 2001 to 2004. It took three years before he was done with it.
If the head coaches of the Lakers were as brave and action-oriented as Coach Du, then he would not be unable to do his job.
If you want me, Huo, to work hard in vain, how is this possible!
I, Mr. Huo, will only work hard for a brave, courageous, visionary and capable head coach like Coach Xiao Du!
If it weren't for the confidant Clifford next to him.
After the intra-team training match between the blue team and the yellow team, he would stand up and shout: "Coach, let Yi start, we will play run-and-gun, I am willing to play supporting roles for Steve and Yi!"
You all say that I, Mr. Huo, am selfish, but I am willing to play a supporting role. You, the former boss who can do anything for the team's victory, cannot remain indifferent and cannot see what is good for the team, right?
With this voice roaring out, he felt that he would definitely be able to force Kobe to death!
Therefore, even if he was pulled by Clifford, the expression on his face was still that of hesitant to speak and eager to try.
First use self-destruction to knock Kobe down from the core position of the tactics, straighten Nash and Yi, and then use Nash and Yi, the two younger brothers, to attack Kobe. It is perfect!
So, Steve, why are you stopping me?
"Dwight, don't worry. If Nash and Yi can't cooperate like this in the official game later, doesn't this give Kobe an excuse to fight back and undermine the coach's prestige? It will be difficult to mess with Kobe in the future."
Clifford finished speaking in a low voice, and Howard suddenly realized.
Yes, the cooperation between Yi and Steve only lasted for half a game on the training field. It seemed perfect, but it is still uncertain how it will be in actual combat.
He hurriedly used this as an excuse to blow up Kobe. If the combination of Yi and Nash did not work well in actual combat, Kobe could make a comeback, and if he died, he would really be dead.
After thinking about this, Howard became quiet instantly, and looked at Clifford next to him with more trust.
"Steve, you white people are still insidious!"
"..."
"I'm complimenting you, haha!"
"..."
Clifford wanted to slap him hard, but in the end he suppressed a smile.
"Thank you, I know."
In the eyes of many people, Du Kang, a head coach who has never organized a confrontation match, suddenly organized a confrontation match, which must have meant something.
But in the end, after the game ended, Du Kang really said the game was over. He said nothing and did nothing.
This confuses many people.
If all NBA players were as smart as Clifford, that would be fine.
Therefore, after Du Kang had no further information.
The Lakers players present once again set their sights on Yi Jianlian!
At this time, Yi Jianlian began to practice mid-range shooting under the guidance of Du Kang.
Seeing Du Kang teaching Yi Jianlian step by step to practice shooting, the eyes of young Lakers players like Jordan Hill were really red.
I wish I could accept Du Kang's guidance instead of Yi Jianlian.
Not to mention Jordan Hill, even Kobe is now thinking about whether to let the coach make some training plans for him.
He feels that many of his skills have been polished to the extreme.
There was nothing he could do.
Coach, can you help me with this?
For a 35-year-old player who still wants to continuously polish his skills, I can only say that Kobe's efforts are truly incredible.
In short, the way Lakers players look at Yi Jianlian now is full of envy.
The look in Du Kang's eyes was full of salivation, as if Du Kang was a customized version of the Kardashian sisters.
Well, NBA players are good at this.
Except for one person, that was Artest, who was asked by Du Kang to stand in front of Yi Jianlian and was shot by Yi Jianlian.
"Meta, don't move, stand there, raise your hands, let Yi shoot!"
Artest even cried when he heard Du Kang's instructions.
At this time, in his eyes, it was not Yi Jianlian who was voting for him, but Nowitzki who was ravaging him!
Compared to Howard, the damage is doubled!
After the four-hour training in the afternoon, Du Kang disbanded directly.
NBA players have a lot of private life when they are on the road.
Next, it's all their private lives, and Du Kang, the head coach, can't control it.
However, the extremely excited Arab League returned to the court to practice shooting after Du Kang's training session was dismissed.
As long as you work hard, you can make progress, and no professional player will let go of such an opportunity!
This is the case with Yi Jianlian.
He didn't know when the feeling of being inspired by the coach disappeared again, so he had to seize this opportunity, even if he didn't sleep!
"Meta, please wait a moment, your training is not over yet."
Du Kang called to Artest who wanted to leave secretly.
"It's so painful..."
Artest was really crying at this time.
It’s really hard to come to Boston. New York is right next to Boston!
At such an old age, he has won championships and made enough money, isn't it time to enjoy life?
He can't bear to leave Los Angeles, but he also loves New York!
"Coach, I can't beat you..."
Stare~
"..."
Du Kang's narrowed eyes and malicious smile made Artest hold back his complaints once again.
"Coach, you know, I love you, hehe, hehehe."
Artest smiled like an honest man and came to Yi Jianlian. He stood at attention, took a rest, and extended his right hand, which was quite standard.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Seeing this scene, Howard, who also didn't go to the party but stayed to watch the fun, couldn't help laughing anymore.
Kobe’s dog used to disgust him a lot!
"Yi, great shot, keep shooting through the defender!"
After Howard finished speaking happily, he looked provocatively at Kobe, who was also practicing extra time next to him.
Do you see it!
My little brother is shooting at your little brother, which means I am shooting at you!
Kobe ignored Howard's provocation, looked at the miserable Artest, and said nothing.
"fair enough."
Gasol was okay, just a little distracted.
But Artest, he has long wanted to take care of it.
However, whether it was Artest or Gasol, they worked hard for his championship and made great achievements. He couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it.
Now there is a head coach who can take care of it, and of course he supports it.
This young coach's methods are better than those of D'Antoni, Mike Brown, and even Mayfair.
Yi beat up Ron, which led to a competition and a lot of things.
After the team training match just now, the coach didn't say anything, but Gasol was already trembling.
If D'Antoni suddenly asked Gasol to support Earl Clark, it would be an unpopular decision to seek medical treatment in a hurry.
So even if Coach Du suddenly wants to take Gasol now, no one else will have anything to say.
Even Gasol himself couldn't find a reason to resist.
You shed your blood with the Lakers, but it was for Phil Jackson. What does it have to do with me, Du Kang?
This continuous beating of Artest and Gasol is dizzying to watch.
"If he really wants to fuck me, can I handle it?"
No wonder Howard, who prides himself on being smart, is so convinced of him.
Kobe shook his head.
There was no second thought about the impossibility of this happening.
The sixth championship...
"I believe in him!"
Kobe completely ignored the arrogant Howard next to him and started his own shooting practice.
He has already played four games.
Next time, I can’t be more stubborn!
"Hopefully we can see the hope of a championship again!"
…
…
In the NBA, Kobe's shooting training is the most famous, because Kobe once said that his shooting training would take 8 hours a day to hit 1,000 goals.
Yi Jianlian, who was extremely excited today, did not learn from Kobe, not that he didn't want to.
But time doesn’t allow it, and neither does the body.
Until 10 o'clock in the evening, Yi Jianlian shot Artest back and forth for four and a half hours.
"Ding, your player Yi Jianlian hit 500 high-quality mid-range shots in one day, unlocking the silver-level mid-range king."
After Yi Jianlian unlocked the silver-level mid-range king, Du Kang stopped Yi Jianlian's training.
"A-Lian, that's it for today's training. Thank you for your hard work."
After Du Kang called a halt to Arab League, he was still a little reluctant to give up.
And Artest, who was already numb, really collapsed to the ground with his legs weak when he heard Du Kang's order.
"Being bullied by the coach is like a grandson..."
Artest looked ahead blankly.
After leaving the Pacers, he has never experienced the feeling of being bullied like a grandson.
I recall the years when I was in the Pacers with those tough teammates who fell in love with each other and treated each other as their grandchildren. Not to mention, I miss them very much.
After leaving the Pacers, he became famous, but apart from the championship, it was quite boring...
"I should win the championship with those grandsons..."
Artest, who was slumped on the ground, quickly shook his head.
I made enough money and won the championship.
I can just enjoy my fairy life in Los Angeles, and what are those grandchildren doing if I have nothing else to do!
are you crazy!
Being bullied makes you feel emotional, right?
but……
Compared with weaklings, people like strong people who can bully him more...
"Meta, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at the hands that suddenly stretched out, and the owner of these hands...
This big devil who is not even allowed to hate, is not allowed to curse in his heart...
Looking at the still malicious smile on his face...
He actually reached out his hand without giving up...
Artest
"I'm 'shocked' by everything about the team. Los Angeles is really nice. I feel a little homesick."
Favorability towards you: 79 (I’m so fucking sick!)
Huh?
For doing this to Artest, he actually scolded him in his heart despite his good feelings, instead scolding himself?
Also, have you finally discovered that you are sick?
Wait, aren’t you already retiring in Los Angeles?
What's going on with this sudden homesickness?
Doesn’t it just prevent you from going back to your hometown in New York tonight?
Can you go back tomorrow?
What's on your mind?
Why is your brain circuit so strange?
…
…
not far away.
"How could Artest reach out his hand so nicely? I've already prepared a camera to record the scene of Artest getting angry and beating that rookie!"
"Our rookie head coach..."
"Has an excellent ability to train players!"
"Besides, he's also very good at teasing people!"
…
…
"Du, I don't think you should have pulled Artest just now. That was very dangerous!"
Ham said helplessly that Du Kang beat Artest so hard today, and he was really afraid that Artest would suddenly become violent in the end.
This is a person whose brain circuit is very strange and no one can grasp it.
"Darwin, if you have good intentions towards the players, then please believe that the players also have good intentions towards you."
After being stunned for a moment, Darwin Ham suddenly realized.
Then……
"But Darwin, you must not imitate me. I'm afraid you will be beaten in the future."
"..."
If he hadn't known that Artest's favor with him had not declined, he would have gone to pull him away with an iron bar.
Howard, Nash, Kobe, Gasol, Artest...
"about there."
"What's almost done?"
"It's nothing, the team has such a good atmosphere, we will win the next two games!"
"..."
Harm was dumbfounded.
Coach Xiao Du, you really dare to think!
There is no way, the last step is to let everyone see hope!
This is the most important thing!
Hope of championship!
Celtics, Heat...
Must win!
