Benj finally increased his shooting percentage to 70% by reducing shooting and increasing breakthroughs.
In the entire game, he scored 59 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, leading the Lakers to a 29-point victory over the Spurs.
Before leaving, Jamal Mashburn still had something to say, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.
"Jabbar, I'm really sorry."
"!¥!¥!, my name is Jamal!"
It is natural to defeat an opponent like the Spurs. The opponent is still in the rebuilding period, and the sword is directed towards this year's No. 1 pick.
If nothing else goes wrong, one of the two top picks, Allen Iverson and Marcus Camby, will fall into the clutches of the Spurs.
Louis prefers Iverson's future playing for the Spurs.
Counting the days, Popovich was about to start coaching. When he thought about his patriarchal coaching style and the happy enemy story line that a rare rebellious boy like Iverson would create, Louis was very excited.
Subsequently, the Lakers defeated the Rockets.
The Rockets have last year's No. 1 pick, Joe Smith, but unfortunately, their experiment with three highs failed.
The reason for the failure lies with Smith.
The Rockets hope that he will grow up like Danny Manning, but he is not Manning. He does not have the skills at the three position, and lacks the willingness to gain weight. He thinks that he can play professional basketball like in college based on his talent.
On the contrary, Garnett was very excited to meet the top pick in his class.
He was overly excited and stuck the ball several times, which caused the tactics to stop, so the spectators on the sidelines heard Louis' roar of the East.
What's more, the referee on duty, Joe Crawford, was nearby, and Louie's roar actually frightened the opponent's whistle.
Crawford called Louie a technical foul.
"You better give me a fucking explanation!" Louis was furious like a violent Mary.
Crawford also knew that there was something wrong with his bragging, but he could never admit his mistake: "You interfered with my law enforcement!"
"Am I disturbing you¥&¥..."
Louis received his second technical foul without any fault, and he was ejected.
"This matter is not over! You idiot, I am not done with you!"
If it weren't for the assistant coach's drag, Louis' posture would have dragged the referee into the Octagon for a life-or-death showdown.
Garnett was still looking silly and happy.
"If I were you, I probably wouldn't be so happy." Bird gloated. "If you didn't do those stupid things on the court, he wouldn't yell and scare the referee."
Garnett simply said: "Dude, didn't you play well?"
"Do you think your coach still cares about whether you are playing well or not when he is scolding you? He only cares about whether you are performing the way he wants to see. As for the rest, hey."
Bird's sneer did not affect Garnett.
But Ostertag interjected: "Molly, don't worry, the coach will blame Larry in the end anyway."
"Hahaha, that's right!"
"You're so damn happy!" Bird thought, thinking that Ostertag was right, and got angry on the spot, "If I were implicated, I wouldn't let you go, you high school student with a stupid mind.
,I¥#@%!
!”
To be fair, Garnett not only played well tonight, it can even be said that he played the best performance of his rookie season.
Facing the No. 1 pick in the same draft, Garnett played 30 minutes and scored 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal.
The Boston media hailed him as a young Ralph Sampson.
Famous sports observer Josh Ringer (Jer) said: "Kevin Garnett is not the Lakers' Ralph Sampson, he is the unique Kevin Garnett."
Obviously, the people of Los Angeles don't want to be hyped by the New England media. He is not Sampson of the Lakers.
In one game, Garnett made multiple media headlines.
The number of sponsorships and advertisements under his name has increased by 4.
Then, he got scolded by Louis in the video room.
Garnett was unable to refute, because the point of Louis' criticism of him was not whether he played well or not, but whether he played right or wrong.
Louis' old friends will be surprised by this.
In the past, Louis only looked at the results, but now Louis actually pays more attention to the process.
If the process is not right, even if it is a good result, it will be a bad result.
Louis is more strict than in the past, especially in his requirements for Garnett, which are so high that even Bird thinks they are excessive.
"That's not how you treated Ralph."
"Ralph is an old man who has half a foot and is about to retire. Why are you mentioning him?" Louis said displeasedly. "Molly is 19 years old this year. He has unlimited possibilities, but he has never gone to college, lacks discipline, and is bad.
He has a lot of flaws, and if I can't correct them early in his career, he'll be a flawed product even if he becomes a superstar."
Bird was curious, in Louis' mind, how high was Garnett's ceiling?
"What do you think his upper limit is?"
"Maybe not as good as Ralph." Louis said calmly, "But I think he has the talent of the top 15 in history."
Louis believes that through his training and Bird's technical transformation, Garnett will grow into a unicorn that is somewhat unfamiliar even to him.
But it's still difficult for him to reach Sampson's level.
What limits him is not his strength or talent, but something called killer instinct.
Sampson's ability to dominate two generations at the center position relies on his amazing talent and skills. More importantly, he is a rare center who is not afraid of taking the ball at critical moments.
And what Garnett is like at critical moments, Louis knows very well.
This is of course related to his technical details, but it is also possible that he does not regard himself as the person who dominates the game on a psychological level.
Louis said Garnett had unlimited possibilities, but said he was not as good as Sampson.
Bird pondered a little unexpectedly, "The top 15 in history... is okay."
"Don't get me wrong, I mean he has the possibility of becoming one of the top 15 people in history, but that doesn't mean he will definitely be able to." Louis became furious when he thought of Garnett's virtues on the court, "Just because
With his current performance, I have no reason to be optimistic about him at all. If you don’t discipline him in a stricter way, then you are the sinner who caused him to fail to fulfill his potential!"
Bird didn't expect Louis to use such a serious word as "sinner".
"If he doesn't make progress on his own, what can I do..."
"If he doesn't make progress, you don't make progress. If you could let him know the benefits of making progress, he would have made progress long ago. In the final analysis, it is your problem. Do you want to say that he is the kind of idiot who cannot be taught?"
As long as Louis is on the line, Bird can do nothing.
"OK OK." Bird admitted his mistake, "My fault, I will be more strict from today on."
Louis then said: "This is what you said. From today on, if he has another problem, it will be your problem!"
"Fuck... okay, as long as that fool makes another fucking mistake, it's all my fucking problem!"
The season continues.
As the season progressed, Louis had a deeper and deeper understanding.
That is the serious lack of talent within the Lakers team.
It stands to reason that Wilson and Garnett, the two talented players, are enough to serve as the core of the team. However, if he wants to make the "Beautiful Basketball" system as beautiful as Louis imagined, he needs more talents.
Moreover, he cannot be the kind of person who "looks just okay, so that's him", but is an elite-level talent.
Just like a murder press requires 5-6 players with excellent physical talents.
The Templars serving "Beautiful Basketball" need to be built by 5-7 elite-level talents.
Currently, Louis only has three and a half (Wei, Bei, Liu, Jiajia), and the tragedy master can play for another year or two at most. In the long run, the Cavaliers need to add at least four players to ensure smooth operation.
Considering the time it takes to develop a tacit understanding, these four players need to be aligned within the next two years.
In the most ideal situation, Louis can see a super team that can perfectly interpret the "beautiful basketball" system dominate the league before his contract ends (in 2000).
If things change, it's hard to say.
The top priority is to focus on capturing talents. As for the team's record, just pick one of the top teams in the league and enter the conference finals to deal with the fans.
