Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 56: Nelson

   When Kobe further laid out his own industry, the Lakers finally announced the new coach, that is, the former Knicks coach Nelson Nelson who had been at home for a year.

   Jerry West didn't want to use this stubborn old man, but the league now has only a few coaches recognized by Kobe and O'Neal, most of which are still famous.

Originally, Larry Brown, who had just left the Pacers, was also within the consideration of the LOGO men, but there was already a conservative coach Harris last season. Finding a more conservative one would definitely repeat the same mistakes, so Jerry West Can only compete with the Mavericks for old Nelson.

Many people have the impression that the old Nelson is a madman, keen to experiment with various advanced tactics. In fact, many people don’t know that the old Nelson is very recognized by the insiders to win the world. The reason why the impression that he has always given people is small. As a master of ball tactics, in fact, the key is that he does not have a favorite object worthy of coaching. He is a perfectionist who would rather lack than abuse.

  The reason why the magic ball theory became popular in the late league is that the three-pointer tactics have been increasingly valued by new coaches from all sides, but this is not the reason why the league has never seen a super inside line after Yao Ming.

   The most impressive thing about the Lakers this time is that they have O'Neal, the league's top super insider, and Kobe, the perfect player who can be called a kaleidoscope. Yes, the old Nelson thinks Kobe is the most talented superstar he has ever seen, and there is hardly any shortcoming. He thinks that Jordan and Kobe are almost the same.

This time Kobe returned to the team a bit late and did not catch up with the summer league co-training. Although Kobe had taken leave before, he still did a self-review in front of his teammates. In addition, he also gave every teammate including The Lakers management, coaching staff, team doctors, etc. all presented a valuable laptop.

   "Kobe, I heard that you are not going to participate in the preseason?" Don Nelson asked a little dissatisfied.

   "Mr. Coach, I missed too much training because of filming some time ago, and I need to make up for him in a short time." Kobe explained his reasons.

   Old Nelson thought for a while, "Let's do it Bryant, I will team up for internal tactical confrontation. If you can prove that you can integrate into the team's new tactical system, you can skip the preseason."

   Kobe respectfully said: "I am very grateful, Mr. Nelson, I will not let you down."

   In the afternoon, Kobe came to the training ground to gather, and Old Nelson summoned everyone together to start training.

"Everyone gather." Old Nelson clapped his hands and announced loudly: "I will divide you into two groups for a confrontation. The first group is led by O'Neal and the second group is led by Kobe. Now O'Neal and Kobe are you guys. Negotiate for yourself and choose the right teammates."

   Kobe pulled O'Neal to the side, exchanged a few words, and began to choose.

   O'Neal finally chose to team up with Eddie Jones, Eldon Campbell, Robert Horry and Fisher; Bryant chose Van Exel, Rick Fox, Joan Barry and Sean Lukes to team up.

Before the game, Kobe repeatedly emphasized: "Joan Barry and Nick, you two don't have to break inside, just run from the outside and wait for me to pass the three-pointer. Rick, if you make a misplacement and then jump in, you will be in the low post. He’s responsible for grabbing offensive rebounds. As for O’Neal, if he wants to make a dunk, you must foul him firmly and send him to the free throw line. The same goes for everyone else. As long as O’Neal dunks and fouls firmly, that guy’s free throw is a joke.

O'Neal said on the other side: "After grabbing the rebound, you must be steady and fight position. Don't compete fast with Kobe! Fisher, try your best to delay Kobe, don't let him beat the speed, everyone! "

  The assistant coach asked old Nelson: "Sir, who do you think Kobe or O'Neal will win?"

"I don’t know, it’s not important. I just want them to see each other’s strengths and their own shortcomings. Last season, Del’s biggest failure was to create a huge gap between O’Neal and Kobe. In fact, tactics are not important. O'Neal and Kobe’s golfers have no problem playing any tactics, provided that they can accommodate each other and achieve each other, just like Jordan and Pippen. They don’t need to be friends, they just need to be mutual aid partners on the court." Old Nelson said.

   Both sides stood on the court. Several trainers from the Lakers played guest referees, and two assistant coaches recorded points.

   Although there is no spectator in this team game, it is very formal. The old Nelson hopes that through this internal confrontation, Kobe and O'Neal will know how to cherish each other's existence. This is the biggest problem the Lakers currently need to solve.

   Kobe returned to the team too late, the old Nelson can only use this more radical method to promote the further growth of the OK combination.

   The basketball was thrown into the air, Kobe's team did not compete at all, but chose to retreat quickly.

Fisher dribbled the ball steadily for the half-court and quickly dropped the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal ignored Sean Lukes' defense and forced a dunk. Lukes had already hugged O'Neal. The ball is dunked. UU reading www.uukanshu.cOM2+1.

O'Neal missed a free throw, Fox grabbed the rebound and handed it to Kobe to dribble the ball quickly. Fisher tried all his best to block Kobe, and Kobe quickly passed the ball to Van Exel. Van Exel left the distance. The three-point line is one step away and suddenly stops for a jumper. Jones' defense was too far behind and couldn't interfere.

   Van Exel jumped high and shot higher, the basketball drew an arc, hollow into the net! 2:3. Van Exel imitated Kobe this summer to practice super long-range three-pointers. Although not as exaggerated as Kobe, but between one step and two steps from the three-point line, he can shoot nearly 40% without defense.

   "Excellent!" Old Nelson's eyes lit up and he recognized the ball.

   "Come on! Give them back." O'Neal sat under the basket and began to direct his teammates to move.

   Fisher brought the ball to the frontcourt and once again dropped the ball to O'Neal. Fox and Lukes double-teamed O'Neal together. O'Neal turned around and flicked a shot, and quickly passed the ball to Jones who cut through.

   Jones attracted Barry's defense and transferred the ball to Horry waiting in the corner. Horry naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity of this empty position, hand up the knife and drop, hitting a three-pointer. 5:3.

  Old Nelson nodded in satisfaction.

   Next, you come and go. Kobe, Joan Barry and Van Exel frequently fire from the outside. O'Neal sometimes scores the outside assists and sometimes rages on the basket.

   The scores of both sides were bitter, and both showed their strengths.

   Kobe's biggest shortcoming is the lack of a good frame protector. O'Neal lacks space to control the rhythm and his own sloppy free throws.

   After playing for half an hour, when Don Nelson called the game to stop, the two teams scored 64:63, which was similar.
