After the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies at home to break the NBA's 33-game winning streak, public opinion throughout the NBA was focused on the Lakers.
Not only did it open up the Hollywood market for Howard and Arab League. It also brought greater trouble to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles is now home to countless media from around the world. Let's put it this way, the Lakers led by coach D and the four top guards are now completely out of the circle. This team is no longer in the NBA circle, nor is it in the basketball circle. The sports circle is too small. Now, even if you don't usually watch sports news, you now know Coach D, the top four guards, Nash Howard YI and the Los Angeles Lakers.
On the day of the Lakers and Grizzlies game, there was also an away game between the Clippers and the Rockets. The Rockets are missing James Harden and the Clippers are missing Billups. Logically speaking, the Clippers will easily defeat the Rockets.
The final result was that the Rockets defeated the Clippers in three quarters. All I can say is, this is a basketball game, anything can happen.
And the Clippers fell victim to that uncertainty. This also directly caused the Los Angeles Clippers to fall to sixth place in the Western Conference.
Los Angeles has now rushed to third place in the Western Conference, and the Los Angeles Clippers are sixth in the Western Conference. It can be said that the night of March 30th was definitely a double happiness for the Lakers.
The Clippers' loss to the Rockets was originally just a technical aspect of basketball. But many theology enthusiasts said that the NBA's destiny is already with the Lakers.
It can only be said that the Lakers have been too hot recently, and everyone wants to come here to gain traffic. So now you can see all kinds of weird remarks around the Lakers.
As for the current changes in the Lakers, Mr. Zhang Lili, a CCTV frontline commentator and reporter, has the clearest view of the changes.
On the afternoon of April Fool's Day, April 1st, Teacher Zhang Lili, Squid Girl and the CCTV camera crew came to the Los Angeles Lakers training facility.
The outside of the training hall can be described as a sea of people.
"Teacher Zhang, there are more people outside the Lakers training facility today." Squid Girl blinked her big eyes, and her cute and round face was filled with pride except surprise.
Look, these people, whether they are American media or overseas media, all have to wait outside.
The only media reporters who can enter the Lakers training facility are the top international news agencies and media partners of the Lakers.
CCTV is only a cooperative media of NbA, not Xinhua News Agency. Logically speaking, it cannot enter. But, who allowed them to get through Coach D’s back door?
There is special treatment!
"Zhang, I heard that Coach D is planning to practice new playing styles in the Lakers' team training today. Is it true?"
"Zhang, I want to join ccAV temporarily. Is it too late?"
"Hi, Teacher Zhang, we have met before, have you forgotten? I am the little king from Lijiapo."......
"Beautiful Miss Rachel, can I treat you to a Shakespeare play tonight?" The proud squid girl saw the handsome white guy running over with disdain in her eyes. He was indeed a bit handsome, but since meeting Coach Xiao Du, She is already immune to handsome guys of this level.
Compared with some handsome coach Xiao Du, his temperament is too bad! On the sixteenth day of that year, at Fengling Ferry, I met Yang Guo and lost my life.
On the 28th of this year, a dark dream appeared on the shore of the South Coast. Alas, only now can we understand Guo Xiang's state of mind back then.
Along the way, thinking about Coach Xiao Du, who made me dream about him every night, and the handsome guys of various colors surrounding me suddenly became boring.
Because of Coach D's special care, Teacher Zhang and Squid Girl are definitely considered celebrities in the current NbA media circle.
"Teacher Zhang, is Coach Xiao Du really practicing a new style of play today?"
"I haven't heard of it, but the playoff time is approaching, so the possibility is very high." Teacher Zhang said happily.
Compared to the vanity of Squid Girl. He is really happy. Chinese basketball has already reached a dead end.
After Yao Ming retired, he relied on Alian alone. Seeing that Chinese basketball is about to follow in the footsteps of Chinese football.
Unexpectedly, coach Xiao Du appeared out of the blue. Single-handedly saved Chinese basketball. He himself became the number one coach in the basketball world.
Under his retraining, Arab League also shined brightly. Nowadays, many NbA teams are waving money, just waiting for the offseason to poach the United Arab Emirates.
If you didn't get the maximum salary, you would be too embarrassed to come here to recruit people. Soon, NBA will have a new top-paid Chinese player after Dayao.
When Teacher Zhang and CCTV’s frontline team came to the Lakers training facility. At this time, the training hall was already crowded.
"Sister Rachel."
"Jiujiu." Squid Girl used to dislike Penguin.com, a female anchor who was out for sale. Now.
Not only is the equipment very professional, but the technology has also become professional. Obviously you can make money lying down, but you have to get up and work hard on your own.
This Miss Jiujiu is also a celebrity in the circle. well. Coach Xiao Du, it’s not just one or two people who have really changed.
Looking at the professional reporter equipment on her body, the smile on Squid Girl's face was very sincere.
"Teacher Zhang."
"Xiao Wang, did coach Xiao Du practice new tactics today?"
"No, it's still a fixed yellow-blue confrontation. I haven't heard of training new tactics." Wang Gan hesitated to speak.
After all, the whole of China knows that Teacher Zhang is a die-hard Ke Mi.
"Oh, it's the yellow-blue competition again."
"Well, Teacher Zhang, maybe Kobe can win this time."
"..." The smile on Teacher Zhang's face disappeared instantly. Wang Gan wanted to laugh now, but he didn't dare. It was too uncomfortable to hold back.
The most famous training event of the Lakers' training is the yellow-blue game. In the yellow-blue competition, the yellow team led by Kobe Bryant has never even won.
This is a secret that only internal reporters like them know.
"Damn it, O'Neal is here!" Someone shouted, and Teacher Zhang and Wang Gan immediately looked behind them.
Sure enough, a fat man with a smile as big as a chrysanthemum in full bloom walked in swaggeringly. O'Neal, one of the greatest players in Lakers history.
He can visit the Lakers' training facility and no one can stop him. Just like the magician, if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wants to come in, Du Kang can't stop him.
As long as he doesn't bring tNt's camera crew in. Just...looking at the pile of professional equipment O'Neal was holding.
Wang Gan was secretly frightened. Damn it! tNt really couldn’t help it! The Lakers and Coach D are really popular right now.
Any bit of Lakers news can cause explosive attention. The ratings for any Lakers game in the United States easily exceed 15 million viewers.
The viewership of 20 million is average. When playing the Warriors, it even reached 25 million.
The NBA's highest-rated game was Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, with 35.89 million viewers.
After Jordan is gone. In the 1999 finals, it dropped to 16 million in an instant. In the 2002 OK Finals, the ratings continued to drop to 16 million.
Then those years with the Spurs and Pistons were even worse. David Stern was so depressed that he doubted his life. Finally, in 08, 09, and 10, the Lakers and Green Kai rose, and the finals returned to the 15 million level of ratings.
In 10 years, it reached 18 million. Although the finals in recent years are not as good as those in 10 years, they are still above 16 million, which is still good and can be considered stable.
But, this is the finals. The Lakers are now playing the regular season. The regular season achieved the same ratings as the finals.
tNt can't bear it. It can only be tolerated by O'Neal. O'Neal has only now begun to sell the Lakers in exchange for traffic. It is considered that he is already very affectionate for the Lakers.
He's someone who even dares to kiss Howard's ass! Amidst the whispers of the reporters in the audience, O'Neal, who came in with a small live broadcast equipment, walked straight towards Du Kang.
Seeing such a fully armed O'Neal. Du Kang was stunned.
"Shaq, what are you doing?"
"Live broadcast, I want to broadcast the Lakers' yellow and blue game live." Du Kang suddenly realized. The yellow-blue rivalry within the Lakers is very famous.
Legend has it that coach D used the yellow and blue game to bully Kobe, suppress Kobe, squeeze Kobe away, kill Kobe, abuse Kobe, and want Kobe to consciously get out of the Lakers.
Of course, this is the legend of the previous yellow-blue competition. Now the legend has become that Coach D still pities veterans like Kobe and hopes that he can consciously be Howard's younger brother and recognize the reality. Now the Lakers have entered the era of Coach D and Howard.
After all, Coach D's assist flow is to use Kobe and the four major defenders as consumables to create opportunities for Howard to create secondary attacks and offensive rebounds, and to brush up offensive statistics for Howard.
Now that Coach D has developed Howard's three-point shot, Howard will definitely become one of the greatest centers in NBA history in the future.
In this reality, Kobe should be more conscious. In short, tNt has long wanted to satisfy the curiosity of fans and netizens and live broadcast the Lakers' yellow-blue game.
However, Coach D is not allowed. So there is nothing tNt can do. O'Neal had no intention of selling the Lakers in exchange for traffic, and still retained a little bottom line. This made tNt even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, the turning point finally came in the last game. As Howard laughed, he stood in the middle of the court with his hands on his hips and helped O'Neal execute the bet.
Howard also expelled a wave of exhaust fumes. At that time, the whole Staples laughed out loud. The audience in front of the TV also laughed.
The effect of the program exploded instantly. At the same time, O'Neal's heart, which still had a little bottom line, was completely shattered and blackened.
"Coach D, aren't you welcome?"
"No." Du Kang looked at O'Neill with squinted eyes and smiled.
"Shaq, it's up to you."...... April Fool's Day, April 1st. The Spurs have a game against the Grizzlies today.
However, at this time, Popovich did not appear at the University of Memphis training facility. Instead, he stayed in the hotel room.
Get ready to watch the next Lakers yellow and blue game. O'Neal live.
"Pop, I heard that the Lakers' yellow-blue game was used by Coach D to bully Kobe. Listen, O'Neal said that in all the past yellow-blue games, Kobe never won a single one."
"Coach D's methods are really high. He actually used this method to convince Kobe, make Kobe obey the team, and make Kobe trust his teammates."
"..." After Budenholzer was stunned for a moment, he instantly understood the meaning of Popovich's words.
So, the yellow-blue game played by Coach D in the Lakers was not just to mess with Kobe? , No, it is indeed to mess with Kobe, but not that kind of thing, but that kind of thing?
! …………
"Hey, Mamba, I heard that you haven't won a game between the yellow and blue games?" After the warm-up, Kobe, who had just been putting on his shoes, raised his head and gave a venomous glare.
He almost couldn't hold back and slapped her just now. Um. The aftermath of dreaming. In the dream, except for Yao and tmc, anyone on the Rockets who dared to beep with him would be slapped by him if he raised his hand.
He played so hard that Van Gundy became his assistant coach in his dream. He turned Alston, the street ball king, into his dribbling defender. Well, he was the best dribbling defender in NBA history.
But this is reality. Um? Do you want to bring this fat guy to the Rockets in your dream, and then I take Yao, tmc and the Rockets boys who have been trained to be obedient and kill him?
"Mamba, in this game, do you want to avenge me and kick Howard's ass? Mamba, don't leave, Mamba." In the tNt studio, I saw O'Neal harassing Kobe, Barkley and Kenny Smith. They all laughed like crazy.
The audience in front of the TV was also laughing like crazy.
"Mamba, aren't you already scared of Howard?"
"..." Kobe finally stopped, turned around, and glared at O'Neal fiercely.
Looking at Kobe's back, O'Neal had a smile on his face. Haha, dead poisonous snake. You couldn't defeat me back then, and you can't defeat me now!
The Lakers' yellow-blue game has not yet started, and O'Neal is filming everywhere at this time. Maizi leaned against the basket and dozed off.
While dozing off, he waved the whip in his hand. Oden, who was practicing his steps under the basket, was frightened when he heard the crackling sound of the whip, but his steps were not messy at all.
O'Neal walked along and came to his favorite Carter's practice place. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Damn it! These crazy dunks left O'Neal stunned. Fans online were also shocked.
"Holy shit, is this a 36-year-old veteran?"
"Are UFo's knees made of steel now? They are not afraid of wear and tear at all!"
"Isn't this more domineering than those dunks released by the Heat?"
"My emperor's chops are also very domineering, okay!"
"But, your emperor knows how to do the dunk."
"..." O'Neal reluctantly left Carter and came to Iverson and Nash.
At this time, Iverson and Nash were wearing white coats and masks, and they were practicing on a mannequin.
Seeing this scene, O'Neill was stunned.
"AI, Steve, are you practicing choking?"
"It's not a pinch, it's a massage."
"You pinched too hard, didn't you?"
"It's not a pinch, it's a massage!" The audience in front of the TV was also shocked. Netizens on the Internet laughed like crazy.
"Coach D is so talented, he actually thought of such a way to improve Nash and Iverson's defense, hahahaha..."
"No wonder fewer people have named Nash and Iverson as singles recently. That's okay, Coach D!" Popovich saw this scene in front of the TV, and was surprised and then a little sad.
"Bobo, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay, I just miss Bruce."
"..." Budenholzer didn't know how to answer for a moment. On TV, O'Neal continued to wander around the Lakers' training hall and came to Yi Jianlian and Howard.
Two people are hanging a pair of shorts.
"Warcraft, Yi, what are you doing? These pants look familiar."
"Hahahaha, Shaq, these are the pants you kissed that night. I didn't even wash them. They are original and are hanging here for the players who come to the Lakers to admire them in the future."
"..."
"Shaq, look, this is where Shaq kissed. I marked it with red lipstick." Howard said happily, and O'Neal felt his stomach churn.
The audience in front of the TV also heard the sound of retching. For a while, the audience watching tNt burst into bursts of joyful laughter.
Because Coach D’s control over the Lakers training facility is too strict. Therefore, the audience and fans are very curious about the daily life of the Lakers training facility.
This time, after O'Neal took his personal live broadcast equipment around in a circle, the audience and fans had a general understanding of the atmosphere of the Lakers training facility.
That is……
"Are the Lakers always so indifferent during training?"
"What about tactical drills? Where about systematic training? Why are you so unprofessional?"
"The Lakers' training ground is completely different from the training grounds of other NBA teams!"
"If other teams have a bunch of players over 35 years old, will their style be the same? Although my training ground is not as happy as the Lakers, it is still very happy."......
"Coach D is really great!" Popovich sighed again. The average coach will increase the amount of training if he wants to spread his game ideas and tactics to his players.
Even a famous coach like D'Antoni is like this. In the end, D'Antoni gave too much intensity, both in terms of training intensity and game intensity.
In the end, D'Antoni overturned. The Lakers he managed were filled with complaints. But Coach D, he doesn’t practice tactics or systems, he just relies on the Lakers players’ own playing style.
In the past, like others, he thought it was because Coach D didn't understand tactics and the system. Now, it is obvious that Coach D is trying to reduce the burden on the veterans of the Lakers.
Veterans like the Lakers are too tired this season. Rather than building a system and training tactics, making them more relaxed is the most important thing.
Even a famous coach like D'Antoni couldn't see things clearly, but Coach D, a rookie, actually saw it clearly.
To be honest, if he were replaced with D'Antoni, he wouldn't see it clearly. Because the Lakers need results and results, no head coach can be like Coach D and let the Lakers players play in the training ground.
In the end, you will fall into a collapse circle where the more you want results, the less you achieve.
"Only a head coach with strong command skills like Coach D can support the happy training of Lakers players." Happy education is not something that all families can support.
"Bobo, the Lakers' yellow-blue game has begun!"......In the Lakers' training hall.
The yellow and blue competition has begun. It's the yellow team's turn to attack. Kobe controls the ball. Looking at Kobe's awkward handling of the ball at this time, it seems as if he hasn't played ball for a year.
Iverson was stunned for a moment. Of course, after being stunned for a moment, Iverson came to his senses and immediately grabbed the ball and took the basketball away from Kobe.
"AI, great job, hahahaha!" Howard rushed across the half court and received a pass from Iverson from outside the top of the arc for a three-pointer.
The game continues. After Maizi played with the Arab League under the basket, he hit the basketball in his hand to Kobe who was outside the three-point line.
After Kobe received the ball, he made a decisive three-pointer against Iverson's defense. Bang Dang Lian
"Eh? Is Kobe's shooting arc like this?" Looking at Kobe's flat and uneven shooting arc, high and not high, Hamm and Clifford on the sidelines looked surprised.
Du Kang, on the other hand, was smiling. In the dream, I used Novak's body for a season and practiced the passing and shooting techniques used by Novak's body for a season.
Are you not used to being in Kobe's body all of a sudden? Novak is 2.08 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.10 meters. Apart from his short hands, he has almost no physical similarity with Kobe Bryant.
If he is like Maizi, who can play 700 games against the Spurs in one night, he can also break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly.
But Kobe is not like Maizi. It's not like UAE Lianhe, who are all yellow, both inside, with basically similar height, wingspan, and body structure.
Kobe and Novak, not to mention their physical talents, they even have different skin colors. so……
"Corvo, are you airsick?" Novak, who is 2.08 meters tall, has a completely different shooting field of vision from Kobe, who is 1.98 meters tall.
"The Mengka is really strong, but there are pitfalls." Especially for the player Mengka, it is best to use players with similar technical skills and similar physical talents.
Novak and Kobe are completely the difference between the South Pole and the North Pole. After using the Novak player dream card on Corvo...in the dream, Novak had no physical talent at all, and it was easy for Kobe to accept Novak's way of playing.
In reality, Kobe was extremely talented and had a set of skills that he perfected to match his talent. It's not easy for his body to accept Novak's style of play.
However, Kobe wanted to accept some of Novak's playing styles. Such as Novak's three-point shot.
"Corvo's attributes have become stronger, but the style of the game seems to have suddenly become funny..." But...
"Corvo is really stubborn. He is trying to integrate. He is walking a road that no one has ever walked before!"......
"Maybe I've found the reason why Kobe is so tough!" Popovich's eyes flickered.
Kobe actually wants to master two shooting styles! And they are two completely opposite shooting styles! Is it possible to draw a square with the left hand and an octagon with the right hand?
Maybe some talented people can, but most people can't. Kobe didn't have such a terrifying shooting talent. Even Jordan didn't dare to do such a thing.
But Kobe is trying to do such a thing. There is no player in the NBA who plays like this. From ancient times to the present, there is no one!
He is different from Coach D. He is a rational person. Reason told him. There's no way Kobe is going to be able to do something like this.
At the last moment, the exhausted veteran should be replaced to protect the backcourt rebounds. Even Duncan didn't believe it!
This is rationality!
"Kobe will fail, Kobe will definitely fail!"......
"This kid..." The expression on Jordan's face was happy, sighing and helpless. Many people now ask why he didn't practice three-pointers back then.
He didn't like three-pointers back then. He despised three-pointers as an offensive method that could never be efficient.
On the other hand, for players like them who are not very tall and focus on mid-range shooting, three-pointers are a different world.
They are used to leaning back when shooting mid-range shots, so they are also used to leaning back when shooting three-pointers. This is because the mid-range shooting technique affects the three-point technique.
For defenders under 2 meters tall. There are probably only a few players in the NbA who have developed top-notch three-pointers and mid-range shots, such as Nash.
Their shooting talent is beyond envy. If he had worked hard to practice three-pointers back then, his three-point skills would definitely have affected his mid-range shooting.
So, finally, he gave up. It's not necessary. His physical talent and mid-range shooting are already invincible.
But Kobe...
"This kid sure has the motivation to do something like this."
"But the price of failure is too high!" It is obvious that his three-point skills have affected his mid-range shooting skills.
CIC technology has also affected three-pointers.
"This kid is more stubborn than me!"......
"Kobe Bryant in this practice match is so 'magical'!"
"Dwyane, Coach D finally broke Kobe!!"
"..."
"Hahahaha, Coach D finally broke Kobe!!!"
"..." Wade stared at Kobe on the TV in stunned silence. In order to practice three-pointers. does it worth?
…………
"Coach, I..."
"No need to explain, just do what you want. I will always support a player who is willing to work hard to become stronger." After the yellow-blue confrontation ended, Kobe looked apologetic.
Du Kang stopped him with a smile before he could finish his words. Looking at the smile on Du Kang's face, Kobe was stunned for a moment, and finally a smile appeared on his apologetic face.
"Coach, thank you." Looking at Du Kang's leaving figure, Kobe touched the golden wristband on his wrist.
"I will definitely succeed!"......
"Du, are you really not going to stop Kobe?"
"In this world, he is the only one who dares to do such a thing. Wouldn't it be a pity to stop him?"
"..." Clifford fell silent as he looked at the expectant smile on Du Kang's face. Maybe, I know why Coach D is so great.
…………
"Coach D, not only did he not stop Kobe, he also supported him..." Wade looked at the smiling man encouraging Kobe on TV and was shocked.
The playoffs are approaching, and Kobe suddenly behaves like this. Isn't it Coach D who is most worried and should stop Kobe?
"But..." Wade was shocked. Is he really a bad coach who will do whatever it takes to win?
He may not be as good as Mr. Pat Riley. Not as kind as LeBron. But...Coach D is definitely not bad!
…………
