Nine Hundred and Nineteen: [Nash Is a Little Confused]
No one knows how the Black Mamba will deal with the Duke Dog at night. Anyway, Lakers coach Mike Brown has been a little distracted recently.
Before Dugger was traded, he had actually received hints of being fired. The team hopes to introduce Mike D'Antoni to the Lakers. After all, he has had a very good cooperation with Stephen Nash.
However, as the situation suddenly changed, the little Duke appeared, and overnight, the entire Southern California changed.
D'Antoni definitely can't come.
The whole world knows about his feud with Snoopy, and the Lakers management will not offend Dugger because of this area.
With D'Antoni unable to come, Mike Brown once again proved his ability as an assistant coach in Cleveland. Therefore, Kupchak happily told Mike Brown: "We are very relieved to hand over the team to you. As long as you assist Snoopy, Nash, and Kobe, we will definitely be able to create greater glory!"
Mike Brown nodded repeatedly. He is a person who understands politics very well, otherwise he would not have had such a prosperous life in Cleveland.
Therefore, the first time the team held a tactical meeting, he asked Duke to speak first and ask him to provide an overall check on the tactics for the new season.
How can I serve LeBron for so many years without two brushes?
However, there is really a big difference between Snoopy and LeBron. First of all, Snoopy is a person who upholds the dignity of others in all aspects. He did not speak first, but let the head coach speak first and then added something as appropriate. Secondly, Snoopy's tactical literacy and strategic height are indeed much higher than LeBron's. Mike Brown finally understands why the Cavaliers' luxurious lineup lost to Snoopy.
The suggestions put forward by Snoopy at the tactical life meeting were: triangle offense as the main body, Princeton as the auxiliary, and bombardment tactics as the contingency.
And based on these three sets of play, the players in the team were classified. What players are suitable for the triangle offensive system, what teams are suitable for Princeton, and what players are suitable for the triangle offense. Dugger's list was very clear and it was clear he had thought it through as he put together this team.
When the ideas were as clear and transparent as gurgling water, the Lakers coaching staff instantly became extremely confident.
"I know there are a lot of commentators who are criticizing our team's lineup, thinking that we are a combination of old and weak, and that we have spent all our money to get Snoopy. But I have to be honest and say that our operation this summer has been extremely successful. , Kupchak and President Buss did a great thing: we got the core for the next ten years, and we have healthy and reasonable salary space."
"The most important thing is that we have formed the most reasonable and impactful team. Just wait and see, we will do some jaw-dropping things soon."
Mike Brown spoke with confidence during his media briefing.
The whole face of this fat little black man shone with indescribable brilliance.
He seemed to see the championship trophy rushing towards him at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
In contrast, Bass is more cautious. His prediction for the season was: "We should at least make it to the Western Conference Finals!"
This sounds reasonable.
But...many commentators still feel like it's a tall order because no one knows what the chemistry between Duke and the Black Mamba will be like. Moreover, apart from these two, the Lakers are like a reemployment center for retired players and a large gathering of NBAL players.
Nash, Artest, Jamison, and Davis are all old. Whether they can play 20 minutes in each game is a question.
And can Milicic, Jordan Hill, Carlos Boozer, and Whiteside who came out of nowhere support the penalty area? This is the West! The paint area in the west is completely different from that in the east.
…
With the preseason coming soon, viewers waiting in front of the TV quickly saw the chemistry of the Lakers.
All right.
I should say...how Kobe Bryant ruined his own image.
Listen, puppy! I'll only teach you this once, look at it! ! Now position yourself on the strong side, then catch the ball, stick your butt out, turn around and test, dribble, shake, step back, jump shot... boom!
Leonard of the Spurs was stunned.
From the beginning of the game, his teacher **Vicci arranged for him to defend the most terrifying offensive weapon in the NBA.
However, the offensive guru clearly wanted to teach a lesson, and he preached endlessly.
Frankly speaking, what he said really makes sense.
Leonard feels that he has benefited a lot.
However, this teacher's hit rate is indeed not very good.
Snoopy obviously played better on the weak side, even though everyone knew he was making blind shots. The problem...is that I can get in! !
"Snoopy, are you going to piss me off?"
When Bryant came on the court in the second quarter, he complained so loudly that even the Spurs bench heard it, and everyone thought it was weird.
Why do you act like an unreasonable girlfriend?
And Snoopy really succumbed to his advice in the second half, and he began to post up frequently. But...his touch was lost because of this...Bang, bang, bang, bang!
One for teaching and one for learning.
The two of them smashed the Spurs' basket with a clanging sound. It was a joy to watch from the audience.
So, he waved his hand: "Kawhi, go up and practice the art of blacksmithing too!"
Soon, boom boom boom boom!
The sound of blacksmithing became even more joyful.
Everyone is a blacksmith and a post-up guy.
The commentator of TNT didn't know what to say.
"Although this is a preseason game, it should be a little more serious at least, right?"
Kenny Smith complained leisurely.
Perhaps because he sensed Kenny Smith's complaints, Dugger found that his team was 13 points behind after playing hard for a quarter and a half, and felt that it could not go on like this.
So, he took the initiative to invite Teacher Kobe down. He pulled Nash, Whiteside, Boozer and Korver into a fast running game.
As soon as this tactic came out, the Spurs immediately felt familiar: the scene of the decisive battle between the Suns and Spurs immediately came to mind.
**Vicci even felt that the start of this tactic was more violent than the Suns before, but... there was still a problem with the finishing ability.
Although Carlos Boozer is a good pick-and-roll player, his ability to directly attack the basket cannot be compared with Stoudemire. Whiteside is more like a pick-and-roll idiot. He can't even eat the cake very well.
In addition, Korver's touch was not very good tonight.
Therefore, the Lakers have been unable to catch up with the point difference.
However, what makes Lakers fans happy is that although the Duke and the Black Mamba are messing around and making trouble, the tacit understanding between the Duke and Nash is a perfect match. Even without words, one look can explain everything. When Snoopy moves, Nash can always find the best attacking position, and when Nash holds the ball, the little Duke can immediately arrange all offensive routes clearly!
"Fortunately, the Suns didn't draft Snoopy back then. If Nash, who is four years younger, had Snoopy, the consequences would be disastrous."
Even **Vicci couldn't help but feel fear.
The game ends quickly.
Since neither side really took this game seriously, at the last minute... Milicic even threw the basketball into his own basket with a twitch of his mind.
And this aroused cheers from the audience because he threw it from the three-point line in the backcourt.
The entire Staples Center is so heartless.
When Kobe Bryant appeared in front of the TNT camera after the game, he was also smiling. He didn't look depressed at all because of losing.
He just kept criticizing Snoopy: "This guy's understanding is so poor. I have never seen such a stupid student. He even ruined my touch. I am definitely not at my normal level tonight." , I haven’t aged to the point of shooting 6-for-19.”
Barkley, who was connected to him, revealed the truth without mercy: "Come on, Bryant. This is your average level. You don't think you are such an efficient scorer, do you?"
Moreover, Barkley also complained about the Lakers' triangle relationship: "Bryant, I must tell you frankly, there is no spark at all between you and Snoop. You are the third party, go back and see Snoop." The collaboration with Steve was perfect."
This made Black Mamba immediately become very 'sensitive', and he deliberately widened his eyes: "Come on, Charles. I know you are hiding evil intentions. You are deliberately driving a wedge between us, and then you want to take the opportunity to join the Lakers and wait for a Championship. You won't get it, Charles, I promise you."
Buckley laughed.
The connection signal is pleasant and friendly.
In fact, Snoop was also very humorous when talking about Kobe Bryant's teaching: "He is definitely not a good teacher. It's not just that my shooting percentage plummeted due to him, look at Leonard, he is also The second half was so tough that he was still a second-year rookie!”
Well, everyone knows that the Lakers are thriving now, and even the old iceberg like Kobe Bryant has become warm.
It's just a pity.
After losing to the Spurs in the first preseason game, the Lakers lost to the Clippers, Warriors, Kings, Mavericks, Rockets and Nuggets.
The mighty Purple and Gold Army unexpectedly ended the preseason with a seven-game losing streak.
Although it is said that the preseason is mainly about training, and the record is not included in the record rankings, but... this is too useless, right?
"I claim responsibility for this."
Stephen Nash jumped out, obviously having been flirted with by Duke the Dog and the Black Mamba on TV.
"It's because I didn't give out ten assists per game, it was because I didn't get ten rebounds per game, it was because I didn't rush into the paint for a tomahawk dunk... all of this is my fault!"
Steve had a generous expression that said all the blame fell on me.
However, Kobe Bryant obviously would not do this: "This is Snoopy's problem, he is too selfish. This guy actually averages 25.5 shots per game. Is there any justice? I will never let him go."
"Honestly, without Kobe, we could have done better and won at least two of those games without a problem. Look at his numbers in Satemento. He actually missed four three-pointers in the fourth quarter. , and we only lost a total of 2 points. After that, I no longer allowed him to enter my house, but he still shamelessly invited me to his house, saying that he would cook me the best filet mignon, but in fact he didn't. It's all made by their Italian chef...and after I ate their steak, he made a waste of money in the game against Dallas. If he didn't make changes, I would be with Steve and Byron. Let’s isolate him!”
Puppy also solemnly stated in the media: "Don't say it was unforeseen!"
Well, if you were just watching TV, you'd think the entire Lakers team was in shambles.
But in fact, Lakers fans are as happy as if they were on drugs every day, and they don't know why.
After all, this is the team that throws the ball to Steve Nash for a dunk during the third-line fast break!
Of course, Mr. Nash lived up to his expectations. The basketball didn't even reach the rim before he threw it off the court.
The referee was dumbfounded at the time.
Old man, you don’t have any skills at all. You are a 38-year-old veteran. You should be more steady and stop acting like nothing. Dunk? You didn’t have this ability when you were young!
…
And with the smooth conclusion of the preseason, the regular season has officially arrived.
Since the schedule took place before the Duke trade, the Lakers did not schedule an opening game this year.
The opponents in the two opening games this year are the Bulls against the Thunder and the Heat against the Spurs.
It can be considered a strong dialogue.
Although the Thunder traded James Harden in the offseason, overall, their combat effectiveness has not weakened much. The Spurs are getting stronger and stronger. They made a small-scale signing this summer. Diaw and Stephen Jackson fell into their system, which provided their lineup with fresh firepower. Coupled with Leonard's progress, the Spurs will not tolerate this year. underestimate.
At the same time, while maintaining the existing lineup, the Heat also introduced Ray Allen from Boston, which made the Big Three even more powerful and brave. Although Boston has been criticizing Ray Allen for being a traitor, in professional sports, separation and reunification are normal.
Not to mention the Bulls, whose lineup is the deepest in the league. When it comes to comparing book strength, no one can compare with him.
"They are basically our opponents in the new season." Dugger was sitting on the sofa in Steve Nash's mansion, with Kobe Bryant lying next to him. Baron Davis and Jamison also joined in.
Although it is said that Doug's age is still some distance from that of these veterans.
But what cannot but be admitted is that he is the glue for these veterans.
Before this, Kobe would not talk to Jamison or the bearded man. With the addition of Duke Dog, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
Although Kobe still doesn't talk to them much, they are still a group.
"These four teams are not easy to work with!" Steve Nash was full of shame, and the gentleman also followed suit.
"I'm afraid of chickens. We have Snoopy!" Jamison looked reckless, and his attitude to others was that he was always ready to go wild! ! !
"Ahem, you still have to pay attention to strategy." The bearded man said slowly.
But in fact, everyone knows that he has a chicken strategy. He is the most reckless one on the Lakers team. He is almost 40 years old, and he still plays Westbrook's style.
"Hey, stop talking. Watch the game!"
Kobe made the final decision. He moved his head up and leaned on the Duke's legs. It was very comfortable and comfortable!
At this time, the game between the Bulls and the Thunder has begun.
