Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 256 Change the Lineup?

The media reporters were also used to Ling Yu not cooperating with interviews, so they didn't chase Ling Yu too much, but focused on O'Neill and McGrady, and got busy with interviews.

Pushing open the locker room, there was no one inside. Needless to say, it must have been blocked by the reporters. Ling Yu still frowned, took a rest, and no one came back, so he started to tidy up. He went to his closet, changed his clothes, put on his hoodie and went out.

Ling Yu's makeup escaped the sight of the reporters, but instead of walking towards the passage outside the arena, he walked towards Del's office.

At this time, it was estimated that Del was also being interviewed, so Ling Yu walked slowly, waiting for the reporter to come out before going in. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Yu thought about that matter again.

The current lineup of the Lakers is really good. Judging from this game, it is enough to compete with any team. Even if they encounter the mighty Bulls, the Lakers will not be at a disadvantage.

However, this is only the starting lineup, but in terms of the second team, the thickness of the Lakers is very problematic. Clauser is no longer young, McGrady is still young, and cannot resist the attack, and David, these They are all veterans, and it seems impossible to expect them to play in the state they were in when they were young. Even if their physical energy is exhausted, they will not run around the field.

Therefore, the necessary task is to formulate a new lineup cleanly and arrange the players in the most reasonable way, so that after the starters leave the field, the Lakers will not lack offensive players.

However, Ling Yu didn't think about how to arrange it, so what he has to do now is to find Del, discuss with him, and ask him to formulate a plan.However, Ling Yu has a slightly unrealistic feeling, that old guy Del, is stubborn, will he change it?

Oh, don't think about it, just ask him and you'll know?
Ling Yu shook his head, took a glance, and found that there were no reporters, then slipped in.

"Dell." Ling Yu greeted and walked towards Del.

Del seemed to have just come back and was looking for something. He was startled when Ling Yu called out to him, and after recovering, he glared at Ling Yu coldly: "You can't keep your voice down when you say hello, kid, this soul is scared by you!" Out."

"What are you looking for, Del?" Ling Yu hurriedly changed the subject and asked curiously.

"I'm looking for a tactical schedule. I used to arrange those." Del buried himself in the search again.

Ling Yu is very strange, the previous tactical table is still there, didn't it be erased on the spot?

"Do you want me to help?" Ling Yu asked.

"Forget it, let's not look for it yet." Del gave up searching, wiped the sweat on his face and forehead, sat down, looked at Ling Yu and asked, "Tell me, what can you do with me?"

Del still knows Ling Yu very well. Seeing her coming to him, he definitely didn't come to talk to him. Based on Del's understanding of Ling Yu, he is not such a boring person, so, all in all, Ling Yu must be looking for him. something.

Ling Yu didn't worry too much, sat down, and said bluntly: "Dell, I see that there is a problem in the team, and if this problem is not solved, it may affect our progress, and it will also determine our progress. How far can you go?"

Del frowned when he heard this, and looked at Ling Yu: "You're talking about the second team, right?"

As a coach, Del has a very keen observation ability. Of course, Del's observation ability is only in his own team. He really doesn't care much about other teams.

During the game just now, Dell saw this problem. After replacing the substitute, the Lakers were chased by the Jazz one after another. In the end, Dell couldn't help but want to replace the starter. With a three-pointer, Del really decided to replace Ling Yu to stabilize his position.

Ling Yu nodded and said seriously: "There is indeed a problem with our second team. Clausey is no longer the man who can do everything in the past, and other players have entered the end of their careers. I want to let them play again. It doesn’t seem practical anymore to do more.”

"Then what do you think we're going to do?" Del asked.

Now that he has seen the problem, Del has his own ideas, but he seems to know what Ling Yu's ideas are, and whether they are the same as his.

"I mean let Eddie come down to play the sixth man and put McGrady in the starting lineup." Ling Yu said seriously.

"Why not let McGrady play the six?" Dell was a little surprised. He did see McGrady's offensive ability in this game, so he thought about pushing McGrady to the bench and let him play the sixth man. , In this case, the Lakers' lineup does not need greater changes, and it also solves the shortcoming of insufficient offense off the bench.

"McGrady is inexperienced, and he doesn't have the ability to lead the offense alone." Ling Yu explained: "Now he is not the one who can do everything, he is just a rookie, and such a big task is not suitable for him. on him."

"And Eddie used to be the leader of the Lakers, so it goes without saying about his offensive ability. As for last season's poor statistics, it's just because he sacrificed his position in the Lakers and his right to shoot." Ling Yu knew Eddie also wants to attack, but when he is on the field and O'Neal is there, Eddie is willing to be a green leaf and a pitcher.

Eddie is actually not a pure shooter. He was so explosive before. He often broke through with the ball to the bottom of the basket and dunked. However, since O'Neal came, Eddie's offensive role has become more and more used Weakened, so people seem to have forgotten his offensive ability.

However, Ling Yu didn't forget it. He still remembered that when he first joined the Lakers, he had a bullfight with Eddie. Although he won the bullfight in the end, it doesn't mean that Eddie's ability Very weak, imagine that a player with poor offensive ability can average 20+ points per game?
Needless to say, it was a flash in the pan, Eddie's offensive ability is obvious to all, which is why during the period when Fisher was very hot, and after he returned from injury, Del still insisted on letting him play the starter.

However, as time passed, Del's tactics changed from the inside out, and Eddie's offensive ability was forgotten.

"Eddie?" Del frowned, only then did he remember Eddie.It's just that he can't figure it out. If Eddie is retired from the bench and McGrady is placed in the starting position, can McGrady play the same effect as Eddie?Also, even if it can be played, what about Eddie, would he be willing to accept this tactic?Inexplicably, no one would be happy to be pushed from the starting lineup to the bench.

Del got tangled up, listening to Ling Yu's proposal, he also thought it was a good proposal, much better than his previous one, but such a tactical change would cause many problems, the most serious of which was Aye Will Dee be dissatisfied with himself and McGrady because of this change, and then what happened last season will happen again?
"Don't worry about Eddie, I will help you convince him." Ling Yu said Eddie with confidence, if Eddie is willing to sacrifice for the team to win the championship, this is Something Ling Yu is sure of.

In fact, Eddie is no longer so excited about the ball and position as before. All this may be because of the arrival of Ling Yu and O'Neal, and he is willing to sacrifice.

But the fact is the same, Eddie sacrificed, you must know that he fought Nick for the position of team leader before, although he was "exonerated" by the team later, but this can be seen It shows his emphasis on the status of the team and the right to shoot.

However, after Ling Yu and O'Neal came, he became so opinionated by the United States and Europe. Ling Yu, a rookie, snatched his position in the team, and he didn't have any emotions, and he still does so until now.

Ling Yu understood, and Eddie had talked with him before, Eddie saw a lot and learned a lot when he came here, thinking of a teammate like himself, Eddie is willing and willing to put the burden on himself body, and in this case, he himself will be relaxed.

These words sounded a little helpless and sad, but Ling Yu understood that these were all from Eddie's heart, and he didn't need more words to describe it, it was enough.And this is why Ling Yu firmly believes that he can convince Eddie to accept the role of the sixth man.

"Are you really sure?" Del was still worried. After all, this friend may affect the future of the team and whether the Lakers can reach the finals.

Ling Yu nodded without hesitation: "Based on my relationship with Eddie, I think I can convince him."

"Okay, since you are confident, then go ahead and do it, but remember to be careful and don't be so direct." Del reminded that he was really worried that Ling Yu would explain it directly to Eddie, and then, At that time, it was not so easy to remedy it.

"I don't need to remind you, I know it." Ling Yu glanced at Del: "However, I think you have one more thing to say."

"Change the team's style of play?" Del guessed everything Ling Yu said, staring at Ling Yu and asked.

Ling Yu frowned in denial, nodded and said, "This lineup has changed, and I think your tactics have to change too."

"You don't need to say this, I also know that I will set up new tactics as soon as possible." Del said solemnly, but he really didn't know how soon, because he didn't know whether Eddie was willing to play as a substitute, and he was sincere. Willing to accept the role of the sixth man, if not, all these tactical changes are useless and useless at all.

"Don't worry, I will definitely convince him." Ling Yu said helplessly.

"Okay, let's do this first. If you have nothing to do, you can go back first. It's not too early." Del issued the order to evict the guest, and Ling Yu didn't stay any longer, and walked out with his hands.
