NBA Backer King Chapter 394

  Chapter 394 Kobe: Old K, you mean I can cast?

  Lightning suddenly looked strange and authentic: "Old K, your apprentice Kobe has a very unique character and style of play!"

   "How do you say it?" Old Wang asked suspiciously.

   "It seems that you didn't pay attention to the media reports these two days."

Lightning laughed and said after laughing: "In a game the day before yesterday, he played the main shooting guard, the point guard is a marginal person, and he has not yet received the team's contract. As a result, Kobe took over the ball, and there is no point guard. something happened.

   That point guard was also in a hurry. You, the No. 7 pick in the first round with a contract, grabbed my chance. This conflict became a big one. There was an argument, and then Kobe was beaten. "

   "Puchi, haha..." Lao Wang couldn't help laughing, which attracted the guests in the cafe to look over.

   "That Rasheed Wallace is not bad, he moves fast, defends very actively, helps defend well, also has a basket, and has a very team style, just the opposite of Kobe. But..."

   Speaking of this, Lightning's expression became strange again, and he said, "That kid had two T's because he was dissatisfied with the referee in the first five preseason games."

"Ha ha…"

   Old Wang laughed again, and when he saw the other guests looked over curiously, he quickly stopped laughing and greeted them: "Sorry, Lightning is telling a joke."

"Ha ha!"

  The guests also laughed.

"You have to find a way to cure their problems. Kobe is a bit lonely, and Wallace is a bit out of temper. It's not good for the team to let them develop. Rashid is better, and it's definitely not a threat to you. Kobe needs the ball. If you take the ball too much, it will affect you and the overall offensive efficiency of the team." Lightning said in a low voice.

Pharaoh thought for a while, nodded and said, "His template is Jordan. When Jordan was in control of the Bulls' ball, he was rubbed on the floor by the Lakers, the Greens, and the Pistons. Pippen was in control of the ball. When he played without the ball. , and won two championships.

  If Kobe has the ability to grow into the core of the team on the perimeter, I think it is more suitable for him to play without the ball. The ball should still be controlled by the No. 1 position, and he will end the offense. "

   "Just have an idea." Lightning said.

   The two chatted for a long time, and Pharaoh mentioned the luxury tax issue mentioned by old Colangelo.

  Lightning said in surprise: "The alliance wants to do this?"

   "What the **** does that mean?" Pharaoh asked.

   Lightning thought for a while and said: "This is a policy to support small teams, so as to prevent rich teams from arbitrarily creating luxurious lineups.

   Among the four major sports leagues, only the MLB league currently implements the salary cap + luxury tax system. It seems that the NBA will also keep up.

   Under this system, which team exceeds the salary cap, it has to pay a luxury tax, which can be distributed to other teams.

   Although the league is developing well now, many small teams are in a state of long-term losses, and this money can supplement their deficits.

   But this also has a drawback, that is, rich teams such as the Knicks and the Lakers really have the opportunity to create a luxurious lineup. "

   "Regardless of them, there are at least two seasons left." Pharaoh said.

   "Look, this is my son, his name is Dabao, isn't he handsome?"

   At this time, he took out a stack of photos of his son from his pocket and handed it to Lightning to enjoy.

  Lightning took the photo, but when he looked at it, he was a little dissatisfied: "Old K, you didn't invite us when you got married or had a child. It's too outrageous, right? Do you think we don't have money to buy gifts?"

   "No way, why don't I make it up before the regular season?" Pharaoh laughed.

   "Okay, we definitely have gifts to make up." Lightning smiled.

   He handed the photo back and said with a smile, "Da Bao looks really handsome, more like his mother."

   "Your eyes are like mine, didn't you notice?" Old Wang said anxiously.

   "The eyes are not like you, the nose is like you." Lightning argued.

   "What's the nose? Look, the forehead is exactly the same as mine, look again."

   "No, the back of your head is just like you."

   The two fell into a heated discussion, and some of the guests next to them came to join in curiously.

After that, Pharaoh looked for yesterday's newspaper, and there was really news about Kobe fighting with people on the court. This thing is really humiliating. It's the same thing to grab the ball from the point guard, and you lose the fight. What's the matter? Qualified to be his apprentice?

   On the 21st, with the end of the preseason, the Suns returned to Phoenix.

   Kobe followed the team back to the headquarters, then drove his car to Wang Tiejun's villa, and when they met, he shouted, "Master, teach me martial arts, I'm being... No, I want to keep fit."

Looking at Kobe's red left eye socket, Pharaoh could only hold his stomach, restrain his smile and teach: "Kobe, the preseason is an opportunity for those marginalized people to perform, what are you doing to grab the ball? This is not a bad guy. The family's rice bowl?

   Taking people's jobs is like killing your parents. Don't do that in the future, or you'll be beaten outside, and I'll beat you up when you come back. "

  Kobe stayed for a while, I'm afraid this is not a fake master disguised as an enemy, right?

   "But you can't win a fight. It's really disgraceful to me. Tomorrow you go to the K martial arts hall to sign up for a fighting class and practice your skills." Old Wang said again.

   "Okay." Kobe said excitedly.

   "Here, rub yourself with medicated oil."

  Pharaoh threw a small bottle of medicated oil over and asked, "Kobe, have you joined the VIP of the K martial arts hall?"

   Kobe was startled again, this time he didn't even call his master, and said dissatisfiedly: "Old K, you want to exploit me too? I'm your apprentice, don't you get any treatment?"

   Old Wang laughed and suddenly scolded: "You idiot, apprentice is apprentice, business is business, how can you mix it up?"

   "Scrooge!"

   Kobe muttered.

   He is not short of money, because he has just signed a 6-year 48 million sneaker contract with Adi, which is larger than Iverson's contract and is the largest sneaker contract among all rookies this year.

  This contract makes him very proud and more confident, because it fully shows that he is the best one this year.

  22nd, the team gathers, the official training camp before the new season begins.

   At 8:30 in the morning, Wang Tiejun drove to the headquarters.

   All teammates have arrived, including three marginal people with non-guaranteed contracts, plus him, there are 15 people in total.

   "Hey, old K."

   "Boss."

   When he entered the training hall, a group of Suns players shouted, and veterans like Wilkins, Tisdale, and Williams also took the initiative to greet him first.

   "Hey, hello."

  Pharaoh first greeted the three veterans, and then specially chatted with Kidd and other newcomers, except of course Kobe Bryant.

   After getting to know Kobe more and more, he has determined that this guy is like O'Neal. Don't look cold and handsome on the outside, but he is actually sullen on the inside. In fact, after getting used to it, he is also a broken mouth. One sentence can be repeated over and over a hundred times.

   "Rekos, I really hope you can take Dominic's main position." He chatted with Rekos Chapman first.

  Chapman was startled, and quickly looked at Wilkins next to him.

  Wilkins laughed and didn't care what Pharaoh said at all.

Last season, he played quite comfortably in the sixth man position of the Suns. The team would not care about his efficiency, as long as he could grab points in the bench, and this season, he returned to the main position, which is not very good. willing.

   Another year has passed, and he feels like he is really old, but he still thinks it is better to be a substitute.

   "Robert, have you practiced again?" Pharaoh and Horry hugged.

  Robert Horry nodded with the general demeanor on his face: "I practiced more, I practiced for three more points."

   Old Wang laughed and said, "Then I'll give you a nickname. You practice more every year, and from now on, you will be called the Phoenix King of Rehearsal."

  Horry is confused, what is this?

   "Haha..." The people next to him laughed.

   "I really practiced." Horry quickly distinguished.

   "Yeah, so you are our King of Reinforcement." Lightning joked.

  Pharaoh stretched out his hand to Rasheed Wallace next to him and said, "Rasheed, I heard Lightning say you like to communicate with the referee, is that true?"

  Rashid Wallace thought for a moment, secretly thinking, is Mr. K expressing his dissatisfaction with me?

   He hesitantly said: "Old K, there is a problem with their penalty. I don't think there is anything wrong with me."

Lao Wang nodded and said: "Remember, Rashid, if you have any dissatisfaction with them, let me and Lightning solve it, because only we have this power on the field, you communicate with the referee yourself, not only easy to eat T, Also ignoring me and lightning.

   Of course, if one day you become the core or the boss of this team, you are qualified to do that too, understand? "

   "I'm your successor."

  Rasheed Wallace hadn't spoken yet, when Kobe's voice muttered.

"To shut up!"

  Pharaoh glared at Kobe and Rasheed Wallace, waiting for his answer.

His aura was too great, and even Wallace's hot temper was suppressed to death. Besides, he doesn't have any grades, his data is not that good, and his temper is not that great, so he can only nod his head and say, "I know. Yes, old K."

   Old Wang nodded, opened Kobe's hand who was about to shake hands with him, walked to Kidd, stretched out his hand and said, "Jason, how do you feel about being a substitute for Lightning?"

   "I feel that the good days are far away, I can no longer drive a good car, I can't be the boss, and I have no hope in life."

   Kidd murmured, with a smile on his face, and said, "It's my honor to be a substitute for the Lightning. Back then when I watched him compete with Magic Johnson, he was my idol."

Pharaoh nodded with a smile. It's ok for everyone to have a good face. It doesn't matter what you think in your heart. It's just the beginning. These thorns and so on, let's tune in slowly. Anyway, the Suns will never allow any 3J combination. If you dare to rebel, all of them will be sold with a straw mark.

   But what should be said is still to be said, he said to Kidd: "Jason, do you like shooting threes?"

   "God, is this going to take away my three-point shot?"

   Kidd stays for a while, boss, I only have this hobby on the court, so you can let me go?

   Old Wang said with a smile: "You are a point guard, not a shooting guard. The shooting percentage of the shooting guard can be lower, that's okay, but not the point guard. Remember, don't make three-pointers here."

   "Old K, do you mean I can make waves?" Kobe was instantly excited.

   "Puchi!" Someone in the team couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

  Pharaoh stared at Kobe Bryant, you still want to throw waves under my hands, believe it or not I killed you kid in the bathroom?

   "Old K, here we come."

"coming."

   At this moment, Lightning came out of the locker room after changing equipment, and came over and punched him.

   It happened that little Colangelo and Danny Angie came in from outside.

   Everyone looked at the team together, and the old assistant coach Lewis sighed: "It has been rebuilding since the finals in 1993. Three years have passed, and now there are finally more young people, and it looks like a reconstruction."

Nelson Jr. said: "The first-year rookie Kobe, the second-year Rasheed Wallace, the third-year Kidd, the fourth-year Robert Horry, plus the old K, five young people, exactly five positions. , A complete young lineup, as long as they can grow up, if the Suns can keep three of them in the future, they can be used for many years without major repairs, and they can be repaired properly."

  Little Colangelo called Pharaoh and Lightning over, pointed at Danny Ainge and said with a smile: "Old K, Lightning, let me introduce officially, the new head coach of the Suns, Danny Ainge."

   "Danny, congratulations." The two old kings laughed.

   "Thank you, old K, Lightning, I hope we have a good cooperation."

   Danny Ainge knew it was temporary, but anyway, it was an important step in his coaching career, so he was very happy.

   Then he pointed back to a middle-aged white man in his forties and said: "This is my new assistant coach, Mike D'Antoni, who is responsible for building the team's offensive tactics.

  Mike is also a former NBA player. After retiring, he went to Italy to coach. He has rich experience and was just hired by me. "

   "Hello, Mr. D'Antoni," said the two old kings.

  D'Antoni smiled and shook hands and said, "Old K, Lightning, it's a pleasure to work with you, you can just call me Mike."

Next, the new coaching team officially met with the players. Head coach Danny Ainge said a few words, little Colangelo said a few words to motivate morale, and finally, as the team leader, Wang Tiejun also spoke a few words on behalf of the team. sentence.

  The new season will start on the 1st of November, and in the next few days, the Suns will conduct a tactical run-in within the team.

  Danny Ainge didn't make any major tactical changes, he still insisted on the traditional center tactical style of play. There was a giant beast in the team, and only this tactic was the most suitable.

   "When the low post has an offensive killer, the offense will be very easy."

   Watching Wang Tiejun press down the backup center Williams again on the court to easily hit a hook beyond the next step, he smiled and said to several assistant coaches.

   Nelson Jr. said: "Danny, have you noticed these few days, old K's finishing style has changed a lot, the number of dunks has decreased significantly, and the offense of hooking has increased a lot."

  Danny Ainge nodded and said: "That's right, with his height, although dunking is easy and doesn't require a high jump, it still consumes more of the body and is more prone to injury.

Moreover, his finishing skills such as hooks and hooks are also very good. They are all first-class or even top-level. His hit rate is not much lower than that of directly attacking the basket. He is still very efficient among low-post players and ranks among the best in the league. Compare with the old K. "

  Lewis sighed: "The biggest change is the low-post attack. There is almost no side-to-side attack, and a lot of back and sit-ups have been added. The low-post attack technique has become more flexible and changeable.

  Old K made a change in time. He is too sure about the technique. I think there is a top low-post offensive technique trainer hidden behind him that we don't know. "

   "Haha..." Several people laughed.

Little Nelson said: "Although the low-position back fight after the change does not have the terrifying lethality of the past, there are also advantages. The current technology does not consume as much physical energy as before, and old K can put more energy into the game. In other areas, helping the team more comprehensively, improving his overall performance, he will appear more versatile."

  Little Colangelo was also on the side, and he was relieved at this time.

   Originally, he had always been worried that the introduction of the K-law would impose great restrictions on the old K. If he could not adapt and make changes, it would be bad. The future of the team was completely tied to the old K.

   But now it turns out that he thinks too much and does not need any work from the team trainers at all. Old K makes the best changes himself.

  D'Antoni has never spoken. As a rookie, he has to listen and read more, and slowly he can integrate into the team.

   And obviously, he needs to have a good relationship with the old K, or he can't make it on this team.

   As a coach, he also has his own coaching style and tactical style.

He is a person who advocates a small-ball style and pays attention to teamwork. He is somewhat similar to old Nelson. In a tactic, we should try to mobilize the strength of all players, instead of others watching a certain player play singles, but now his tactical style is still Some are vague, have not taken shape, and are in their infancy.

Therefore, he doesn't like the center-forward tactics that Danny Ainge has been working on these days, which is dominated by old K. He thinks it is too rigid and does not fully mobilize everyone's strength. Old K's tactical status is too high. too big.

   However, he can't come up with better tactics for the time being, because he can't touch the tactical position of old K, otherwise he is likely to leave immediately.
