The rest is just noise

At the end of the first half, 39 to 32, the blue team took the lead due to Wilson's outstanding performance.

Liu Yuqing is a surprise, and Ostertag's ability to protect the basket and rebounds is also very impressive.

On the other hand, the red team's best player was Garnett. Ellis never started shooting, shooting 0 for 8 in the half.

The tragedy maker did not have a strong sense of presence. He deliberately let others perform first. In addition to passing the ball, he also shot open three-pointers, but his accuracy was good. He scored 6 points on 2 of 3 in the half.

His shooting still seems to be at the top level, and his passing ability has not deteriorated, but other areas still need more assessment.

Louis, like everyone else, cares most about Garnett.

After watching half of the show, many people felt at ease.

Just based on this half-court shot, the Lakers' top brass could conclude that Garnett would be incompetent.

Of course Louis, who had his eyes opened, also knew this.

Of course Garnett can't get enough, but the question is, what kind of person can this guy grow into under him.

"What do you think of that kid?"

Louie and Bird talked about Garnett.

"The future is promising," Bird said.

Louis knows Bird, and the subtext of his words is - now garbage.

At this stage, Garnett is undoubtedly one of the five strongest players on the Lakers team, and he is definitely not trash.

Why did he say that?

"Oh? Do you have any advice for him?" Louis asked.

Bird simply said: "He definitely wants to play inside, but his technical moves are not like an inside post."

"Same goes for Ralph," Louis said casually.

"No, that's not the case with Ralph," Bird said. "Ralph only occasionally works as a defender, but most of his technical characteristics are that of an orthodox inside player, but this prospect is not."

Bird's words touched on Louis' blind spot.

No matter how many years he has been coaching, he is still a very partial person when it comes to basketball skills.

His shooting level is very high and he can be a shooting coach. He also knows how to teach inside players the correct blocking movements and can provide correct guidance on defensive details.

Louis is a coach who raises players' awareness.

But he is not a player like Bird.

Technical characteristics are a big proposition, and with Louis’s professionalism, he couldn’t see the clues.

"Any questions?" Louis asked.

"Let's wait until the second half starts."

Louis could only wait.

The first half and the second half were 15 minutes each. Since no one from either team asked to be kicked off, all five players from both sides played the full 15 minutes of the first half.

This is no easy task for the 36-year-old tragedian.

Louis walked to the red team's rest area and chatted with the tragedy master: "How are you, do you want to take a rest?"

The tragedy master knew that he was a bit invisible in the first half, so he said: "That's not okay. If I only have this level, you will definitely not sign me."

Louis couldn't help but ask: "Then how good do you still have it?"

"I only performed 20% in the first half."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to the remaining 80%." Louis also wanted to know the tragedy master's opinion of Garnett. "What do you think of Kevin's performance?"

The tragedy master said with a wry smile: "He really makes me feel old."

"Any advice for him?"

"He is already a very good player and doesn't really need my advice."

The most speechless thing about the tragedian was that he never said anything controversial.

"But," it's not easy to get a "but" out of him. "If he improves his game, he may have to simplify his movements."

Mommy, why are you different from what the country bumpkin said?

Louis then thought about it and it seemed right.

Bird is more of an inside player, while Tragedy is a pure outside player. They definitely have different perspectives on players.

"Can you tell me more details?" Louis asked patiently.

The Tragedian is happy to answer this question for Louis: "Take the way he plays in the high post. Many times, he just needs to collect the ball, step sideways to help his teammates in the corner to make a hand-to-hand pass, and then follow up with the screen.

He can create a good offensive opportunity, but he often chooses to dribble by himself to force the blue team to shrink the defense. That's okay, but don't you think he doesn't have to play so hard?"

The tragedian said this, and Louis understood it immediately.

This is just like Iverson fans having a hard time appreciating the flashy Irving.

The peak AI can change direction with one move, but people just can't guard it. Irving, who is proficient in all dribbling movements, is like a chef cooking in front of the defender. It is both entertaining to watch and can complete breakthroughs, but it is a bit time-consuming.

.

Louis doesn't know much about technology, but he is an active thinker.

The tragic man said this, and the game where Garnett held the ball in the high post in the first half of the game gradually replayed in his mind.

The tragedy expert suggested that Garnett simplify his game, which is actually suggesting that he is a bit sticky.

Although Garnett can indeed use his personal abilities to create opportunities for his teammates, this will make the team's play style monotonous.

Moreover, unless the consciousness reaches the level of an immortal like Jokic, the core of training Garnett into a Greek monster will not allow him to enter the temple of Louis.

How to simplify Garnett's game content?

Louis has a problem.

He suddenly thought of Bird. Isn't this guy famous for not sticking to the ball?

The thought just flashed through Louis' mind.

He patted the tragic actor on the shoulder and said, "Perform your performance well in the second half. Let me see how much fuel you have left."

"What did you and Evan talk about?"

Bird saw Louis coming from the tragedian's side and asked casually.

"We were also talking about Jasmine." Louis smiled, "He also talked about some Jasmine issues."

Bird had a rare curiosity: "Oh? What did he say?"

"Erwin is a defender after all. He is not obsessed with Jasmine's technical moves. Instead, he pays more attention to Jasmine's way of playing in the high post."

"What is the problem?"

"He feels that if Jasmine optimizes her game, she will reach a higher level."

Bird looked like "That's it?" and said disdainfully: "That's why I say his game is a mess!"

"I just graduated from high school, so don't be too strict."

Bird also disagreed with Garnett's decision to enter the draft directly after graduating from high school: "Let me put it this way, it's because he entered the league directly after graduating from high school that his playing style was messy. What kind of place is high school basketball?

The worst players in the league were all-powerful in high school and dominated the state. In high school, they couldn't meet their opponents. For someone as talented as Tan Hwa Lang, he might not even break a sweat when playing high school games. So he

He will develop a loose style of play, and once he comes to college, there will be professional coaches to let him know the importance of observing discipline, and someone will tell him how to run tactics. These things should be taught to him by college coaches, but now they fall behind.

It’s up to you.”

"But you are still a non-professional who does not have professional basketball skills..." Bird suddenly became pessimistic about Garnett's future, "What a tragedy!"

"Fuck you, the tragedy is over there!" Louis pointed at the tragedy master who was preparing to play the second half.

The tragedian thought Louis was saying hello to him, so he waved with a sunny smile and shouted: "Look at my performance!"

"Okay!" Louis said to Bird with a smile, "He looked like a dead fish in the first half. If he can't show a competitive state that satisfies me in the second half, I will let him leave the resort first."

Bird snorted: "You are a bastard!"

"Then I'm at least a bastard who misses old friendships. Who else is willing to give him a chance besides me?" Louis said to himself, "If I were Erwin, I would be very satisfied to be here."

Bird said indifferently: "I don't think a person who has been infected with HIV for four years and has not died and has always wanted to come back to play will know what contentment is. Logically speaking, as long as he is still alive, Evan 1 should feel contented.

.”

"I think you are a bastard, you are so looking forward to Erwin's death? He is your half-brother!"

In the second half, the Tragedy Master began to control the ball.

Harper seemed to have made an appointment with him, sharing half the ball with the tragedy maker.

The tragic player took the ball and began to vocally instruct his teammates.

He is a person who likes to direct.

"Kevin, this position is not good. If you squeeze in, squeeze in, and squeeze in again, he can't get through you!"

"Great, baby!" The tragedy master sent a comfortable pass, "Kill him!"

Garnett hit Wilson hard on the back, pushing Wilson away a little.

Wilson's strength in the lower frame surprised Garnett. In high school, if an opponent of his size had dared to guard him in the low post, he would have been destroyed long ago.

Garnett only hesitated for less than a second before putting himself in the awkward position of neither shooting nor passing.

Wilson seized the opportunity and stepped forward.

Garnett struggled for a long time and was called for a three-second violation.

"Give me one more fucking second and I'll die!" Garnett complained to Zhao Yuanzheng.

Zhao Yuanzheng smiled and said: "I can't give you five more seconds!"

"Fart, give me five more seconds and I'll bulldoze him!"

That round has passed, and Garnett can say whatever he wants.

The tragedy master kept encouraging him: "Don't worry, keep a good attitude, I will pass it on to you again if I have the chance!"

"Do you know why our prostitute can't even lift the ball in front of Benjamin?"

Louis made a speechless expression.

If I knew, would you still be able to pretend to be a bird?

"I have no idea."

If Louis didn't answer like this, Bird would definitely have nothing to say.

Bird said: "The answer lies between his hands and feet."

Louis could only continue to watch.

The blue team failed to seize the opportunity and failed to score a three-pointer with the ball gained through the opponent's mistake.

The tragedy maker has accelerated his body shape far beyond his peak period. He can no longer push through a defensive line on his own like he did before retiring, but his awareness and passing ability are still as outstanding as before.

He instantly found Ellis who was about to leave and made a long pass with one arm.

Ellis scored a layup, finally breaking the scoring drought.

Subsequently, Wilson and Ostertag played a pick-and-roll and used a ground pass to help the latter get a dunk.

Garnett was at odds with Benj and tried his best to gain the position.

"By the way Kevin, that's the momentum!" The tragedy master didn't forget to talk trash to Wilson while passing the ball, "Benj, are you so enthusiastic about dealing with a young man? Coach Lu never taught you to care for newcomers?"

At this time, Garnett caught the ball coolly and faced Wilson with his back.

His movements are so gorgeous that it wouldn't look out of place even if his face looked like Jordan's.

"Look at his hands and his feet."

Bird said suddenly.

Louis also discovered that Garnett likes to hold the ball on his chest like one of those flying swingmen, and make fake moves with his head and shoulders.

To be honest, this set of moves is very cool - the three-shoulder turn-over jump shot is indeed Garnett's signature, but this is actually a swingman move. Of course, it can also be done coolly when done inside.

But the actual effect is definitely not as good as those of Jordan.

Because no matter how talented he is, the coordination of a seven-foot-long man can never be compared to that of Jordan and Kobe.

Garnett successfully lifted the ball this time. When he was about to take the shot, Bird suddenly said: "Look at the position of the ball."

Louis has been watching.

This time he could see clearly that Garnett held the ball behind his head before taking a shot - this is also the usual shot method of a swingman.

"see it?"

Bird asked.

"I see it," Louis said, "but I don't know what the real problem is. Can you tell me the whole story?"

For Louis, there should be no difference whether Garnett shoots from the inside or as a swingman.

Even more interesting, wouldn't it be more entertaining to use the swingman's movements to attack?

Don't get Louie wrong, he knows about Garnett's problems, but he doesn't know if it's related to his mechanics. Maybe Bird will unlock the answer for him.

1 Regarding the nickname of the tragedian. Ordinary friends will call the tragedian Erwin, while close friends like Bird will call him more affectionately, which is Evan.
