The Pope of Basketball Community

Basketball Pope 451, Chapter 451 [Distribution of ball rights, preparations for the opening] - 567 Chinese In early October, the preseason started, and Yao Ming was excluded from the Lakers preseason roster.

In the first game against the Warriors, Yang Rui began to practice the lineup, with Rasheed Wallace as the center, Diaw as the power forward, and Iguodala, Kobe, and Damon Jones on the outside.

The Lakers' tactics are very simple. Iguodala moves on the right baseline, and Rasheed screens Jones on the left without the ball, helping him run and catch the ball. He does not cut through the air and waits for opportunities to shoot from the outside.

Kobe holds the ball on the right side for a one-on-one challenge. If he can't break through, he can pass it to Diaw in the high position for secondary organization.

The Lakers' five substitutes: Mo Williams, Ariza, Walton, Cook, and Odom.

The tactics are still pick-and-roll and organizing forwards. The person responsible for organizing in the middle has become Walton. He and Diaw are in the same training direction.

Walton is 203cm tall and weighs 105kg. He is a player with a high football intelligence.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 2006-07 season, Wharton averaged 33 minutes per game, scored 11.4 points, 5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1 steal, shooting 47.4% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range. As long as he is used as a point forward, he can play a role.

The Lakers' second team is not weak. Cook's shooting is accurate, which is a specialty he had in college. Mo Williams runs from the side to catch and shoot. Odom can also cut inside to look for mismatch opportunities and can be followed by the inside. Support the passing game at the baseline and organize the offense.

Diop, Hoiberg, etc. are all marginal players, plus Yao Ming, the new season will mainly rely on 11-man rotation.

The Lakers won the first game 102-96.

Kobe only played 28 minutes and scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. He performed well. Rasheed made 6 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. No one else scored. pair.

Three Lakers substitutes scored in double figures, Odom, Mo Williams and Cook. Cook made 3 of 4 three-pointers and a total of 4 of 6 shots, scoring 11 points.

In Game 2, the Lakers upset the Suns with an upgraded lineup 108 to 104.

Yang Rui asked Odom and Rashid to pull out together. Odom organized in the middle and Rashid moved to the right.

Rasheed caught the ball on the right side and broke the Suns' zone defense. Facing the small man, he took a direct shot. If he didn't shoot, he could also lob the ball to Kobe Bryant in the right position.

Kobe can face three threats in front of the frame, he can post up one-on-one, turn around and make fadeaway jumpers, single on the opponent's swingman, and play in mismatches in the paint, all of which ensure a good shooting percentage.

Rashid played very comfortably in this game, hitting two more three-pointers and scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He did a good job against O'Neal on the defensive end. He was afraid of strong men but not technical insiders. Especially since O'Neal was his younger brother in the Trail Blazers, he had a psychological advantage.

Rasheed's statistics were not very good, and O'Neal, who was guarded by him, only had 15 points and 8 rebounds, shooting 40% from the field.

The Suns mainly focus on run-and-gun tactics, and Yao Ming does not play. The Lakers are highly mobile and can exactly target the opponent's lineup. The Suns still led by 7 points in the first half. In the second half, both Hill and Marion played less than 15 minutes and had reservations, but were reversed by the Lakers.

After that, the Lakers lost to the Spurs and Grizzlies, defeated the Rockets and Mavericks, and defeated the Warriors in the last game, achieving a record of 5 wins and 2 losses in the preseason.

Kobe's playing time was kept within 30 minutes, with reservations. The people who have played the longest time on the Lakers are Diaw, Iguodala, and Ariza. Yang Rui focuses on examining these three swingmen.

The most surprising thing about Iguodala is that he is ready to fight and has good scoring ability on counterattacks. With his strong physical fitness, he starts the first step very quickly. If the defensive player is not in good health, it will be difficult to stop him, similar to what he just did. Vince Carter when he entered the league.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Iguodala's statistics in the first two seasons were average. As soon as Iverson was sent to the Nuggets, Iguodala's statistics immediately rose to 18.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2 steals. He has great potential.

Diaw's scoring ability is slightly inferior, but his playing style is weird.

Teammates who often send out second passes and assist in air cuts are also very effective.

Yang Rui has a headache as to how to arrange his playing time.

Yao Ming, Rasheed, and Odom can guarantee the interior rotation. Each player plays 30 minutes. The two positions only have 96 minutes of regular time. Is there 6 minutes left for Diaw to play? What a waste!

It is also possible to let Diaw serve as a small forward. Iguodala plays 30 minutes per game and the remaining 18 minutes are given to Diaw. In this way, Walton has completely become a decoration and can only be a marginal player.

The Lakers' lineup is too luxurious. If no one is injured, Walton will hardly have a chance to play, and Cook and Diop can only serve as sparring partners.

Kobe Bryant at No. 2 is a runner, averaging 40 minutes per game is more than enough. Yang Rui wants him to compete for the scoring title. Ariza will not be able to train him this season.

The Lakers' No. 1 position is the weakest, and their playing time is easy to allocate. Whoever is in good condition, Jones or Williams, will play more. Their main tasks are to catch and shoot.

Due to the Olympics, this year's regular season starts later to give players more time to rest.

Kobe treated the entire team to dinner during his vacation and gave them laptops as gifts with his logo printed on them.

As soon as Yang Rui threw out the concept and design of the scabbard, it was adopted by Nike. The scabbard extending in three directions symbolizes Kobe's role as an attacker, defender and leader on the court.

It's obvious that this is a great crystal t-ku.

In the NBA's first official strength rankings, the Lakers ranked 6th, a significant improvement from last season.

Last time Yang Rui led the Wizards and was not favored, and the final result was shocking. This time experts analyzed the strength of each team and directly ranked the Lakers ahead. The reason is that Jerry Young led the team and never missed the conference finals.

In front of them are the Spurs, Heat, Mavericks, Suns, and Pistons, all with very strong lineups.

On November 2, the Lakers' home opener was against the Nuggets, who were ranked seventh in the strength list. This was the focus of this round, and it was more attractive than the defending champion Spurs vs. Grizzlies on the same day.

In the evening, Yang Rui entered the locker room early and chatted with Yao Mingyong.

"Tonight you focus on defense and try to help Kobe create scoring opportunities. I have already made an agreement with Kobe that he has unlimited shooting rights this game. When we play against the Knicks next game, he will try his best to help you score and reduce his shooting. Today you also You can brush up the statistics, try to block shots and grab rebounds when defending, and you don’t have to jump out to interfere with outside shots when encountering opponents’ screens.”

Although his teammates didn't understand, Yao Ming was still a little embarrassed. It was outrageous to discuss data brushing so blatantly.

He said: "What should I do if my opponent's outside shooting percentage is very high if I don't guard?"

"When playing man-to-man, when you encounter a screen and you are misaligned with Hamilton, can you keep up? That guy ran for 48 minutes without even breathing." Yang Rui laughed.

"I can't keep up." Yao Ming admitted in a bachelor's manner. He was most afraid of that type of player. "When defending, shouldn't we focus on interference and avoid jumping as much as possible?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "I'm not trying to cultivate you into a cancer. You can skip less in the playoffs and just defend yourself. In the regular season, data is more important than playing reasonably. To become a superstar, you must have a record, data, and two Both are indispensable, you have been delayed for two years, now you need to get the data while you are young."

"Okay." Yao Ming smiled. He actually wanted to hit luxurious statistics.

In 2006, Yao Ming was a restricted free agent. Without data, he would not receive a maximum salary. The agent behind him did not want him to save money for the Lakers boss. 8)
