The rest is just noise

Kobe looked up at Ellis and said politely: "Give me your playing time, and my performance will only be better than yours."

This may sound problematic, but it is actually absolutely correct.

In the three regular season games that have ended so far, Ellis has averaged 25 minutes per game and only scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Although Kobe only averaged less than 9 minutes of playing time per game, he averaged 6 points, 2 rebounds and almost 1 assist per game.

Ellis was not irritated, but said proudly: "This is the time I bought for myself. I used to be nothing like you, but with my strength, I became a first-class player. I don't remember that I

As arrogant as you were at that time, you never won anything, but you acted like you could win everything all day long. As your supervisor, I am very disappointed."

Then, Louis walked into the locker room, glanced at everyone, and simply said: "7

00 wins is just a statistic to me, and there will be 800 wins, 900 wins and 1,000 wins in the future, which is not worth celebrating."

"You should be happy with yourselves, three consecutive wins is a good start.

"In the press conference that night, the media still focused on the Lakers' rookie.

Some reporters wanted to know whether Nash's ups and downs tonight would affect subsequent game plans, while others felt that Kobe's playing time was too little.

Louis hopes that these people will focus on other veterans.

It's not a good thing to pay too much attention to new people.

But this kind of thing is difficult to avoid, especially for Kobe.

Although he was only the seventh pick, he signed a contract with Adidas before he entered the NBA. He is a promising young player.

Now Kobe has also proven his strength in his limited playing time. Whether it is fans, media, or Adidas, they all hope that the Lakers can increase Kobe's playing time.

This is exactly what Louis is trying to avoid at the moment.

Giving Kobe a lot of playing time right from the start and making him feel like a franchise player is not the way to train high school players.

Especially for an arrogant genius like Kobe who lacks communication skills and is isolated by veterans, he needs the understanding and support of the coaching staff.

Louis needs Kobe to understand the importance of discipline and respect for authority in the limited playing time, and then slowly increase the time for him.

The most basic point is communication.

If Kobe still goes his own way and only wants to hit the field in isolation, his playing time will still be limited to 10 minutes.

What's strange is that Kobe's game tends to isolate himself so much, but he is deeply obsessed with the "beautiful basketball" system.

He spends a lot of time practicing the "Meteor" tactics every day.

The "Meteor" tactic is the foundation of "Beautiful Basketball", the foundation of the system, and the origin of the five-core concept.

A system has five cores, which goes against the laws of basketball and the nature of competition.

According to general understanding, the core has absolute control over the ball.

Ball rights are a piece of cake, and the core gets the biggest piece. If five people are core, how will the cake be divided?

The answer is not to distribute, whoever has the opportunity will eat.

This requires the five core players to have an absolutely selfless mentality and a team-oriented spirit of collaboration and play.

Kobe is the antonym of this concept.

In fact, when Louis decided to draft Kobe, he considered him as Barkley's "replacement."

A conventional system other than the "Beautiful Basketball" system needs a leading attacker, and Kobe is a perfect fit.

The reason why Louis thinks this way is because he feels that Kobe and the "beautiful basketball" system are not compatible. Who would have thought that Kobe would want to get into it all the time?

After the press conference, Louis took over Stevens' defensive statistics.

According to the rules, the only accurate defensive data that Louis can obtain after the game is that of the rookie. The data of other players need to wait until Stevens goes back to conduct more detailed statistics before they can be handed over.

"Bean's defense tonight was actually up to par?" Louis was surprised.

Stevens nodded and said: "The last time Steve's defensive performance was better than him' stimulated him. Since then, he has been pestering me to teach him defensive skills. I just gave some pointers. He really

Very smart and can do it at a glance.”

"You have to keep him going, Alex."

Louis found more and more contradictions in Kobe.

His playing style is that of a pure Lone Ranger. He doesn't recognize any of his relatives except for the basketball, but he wants to join the Cavaliers and play "beautiful basketball."

He has always been proud and arrogant, thinking that professional basketball is no different from high school basketball. He dared to challenge Benj when he first joined the team, but he was also willing to humbly ask everyone including Stevens for advice in order to make up for his shortcomings.

This made Louis think that there may be two Kobes in the world, both of whom are hidden in Kobe's body. One of them symbolizes the master of the negative energy of Generation X, arrogant, arrogant, indifferent, arbitrary, ignoring the feelings of others, and treating himself as

The only one in the world. The other Kobe is humble, cautious, enthusiastic, and eager to integrate into the team.

"Damn, it looks more and more like it."

Louis muttered.

"What, coach?"

Louis shook his head and said: "It's nothing, go ahead, Alex, these data are very important, but don't think that Bean has really grown up. He may be like Steve in the last game, he just got lucky.

A good game.”

Midnight, half past two in the morning.

The phone rang in the master suite of Sunset Hills.

It was not Lorraine who was awakened, but Louis.

He answered the phone unhappily, "No matter who you are, now is not a good time to call!"

"Sir, I think I have found the secret to the "Meteor" tactic, and I can join the Knights!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely excited, and Louis immediately identified the caller's identity.

Who else but Kobe would dare to call him at this point?

The question is how did Kobe know the phone number of this room?

"I fucking told you not to call at this point!" Louis said angrily, "You still want to join the Knights, just dream!!!"
