Chapter 203 Is This Lesson Worth It? (13)

It's just that Jackson is his own team, so sometimes players don't express their appreciation too much.He wants to keep the mentality of the players at a normal level.

You keep praising some of his players for being able to play the game until they can't make it to the playoffs, do you believe it?And the game you mean on the field is likely to have a loose-sand style, and the other side will disperse as soon as the opponent plays hard.The morale of the team fell too fast.

Therefore, Zen masters still pay more attention to these aspects.The regular season is still for players to play casually, and there are not too many requirements for your training and some tactical arrangements.In terms of training, after training with the team, it is up to the players themselves whether they are like Cook and stop practicing at every turn, or like training madmen like Kobe and Fisher.

107：101！比赛进行的很快。最终湖人队不敌太阳输掉比赛。一场季前赛而已。但就算这样科比也得到了26分7篮板6助攻的恐怖数据！
He played less than two quarters!According to the chat between Kobe and his teammates after the game, Kobe did not show his full strength. "This shooting training game feels good~" This is Kobe's evaluation of this game
McGrady of the Rockets, Iverson of the 76ers, Wade of the Heat, Kobe of the Lakers!These players now have the ability to score crazy points on the court!Zen master is quite used to Kobe's performance in the game, but he still gets a little excited when he sees Kobe scoring one after another.

This is the biggest capital for their Lakers to compete for the championship every season!Of course, when the atmosphere of the whole team is okay.A few years ago, Jackson really wanted Buss to trade Kobe.

But since Kobe took the initiative to find him last season to talk about how to execute tactics and other things, Jackson has let go of this idea.Dr. Buss feels that the Lakers are about to usher in a new peak period after several years of trough period!

The first thing he thought of as a coach was that Phil couldn't leave!But what he can't decide this time is that Zen Master just wants to rest for a while after finishing this season.This period of time does not know how many years.Maybe it's just like what the outside world wears, Phil is about to retire and starts to take the team's management route.

Zhou Yang's playing time is not too short, and he is about to catch up with Kobe's playing time, but he only scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.Many media in this game are also observing the Asian player.

But after blocking Barbosa to get the ball at the beginning of the game, there seemed to be no wonderful performance.And looking at the data, it seems to be lower than everyone expected.After the brief press conference ended, Zhou Yang couldn't wait to register a Twitter account in the taxi.

But for a while, I didn't know what to say in the first sentence.After searching for Kobe's name, his selfie on the hospital bed immediately appeared in front of my eyes.Thinking back to the days when Kobe trained with himself after he got out of the hospital.This photo should be a few months old, right?
After returning to the residence, Zhou Yang immediately turned on the computer, held it back for a long time, and finally decided to have a meal first.
"Pistons, you guys are waiting for an early holiday this season!" The media's response was still a bit slow.At around 22 o'clock that night, Zhou Yang posted this tweet, and it was retweeted by many people immediately after an hour!
What everyone sees is a bed with the number 15 Lakers jersey on it!Anyone who pays attention to the Lakers game or knows who Zhou Yang is is basically a basketball fan who can recognize him at a glance!Isn't this Zhou Yang? !
Then Zhou Yang posted another selfie photo of himself walking outside.Overnight, my twitter increased by more than 3.7 fans!

He searched for his Lakers players and found that only 5 people have registered on Twitter so far, namely Odom, Kobe, O'Neal, Mihm and Walton, including 6 people including himself.

科比的粉丝最多，已经87.2万了！奥多姆也不少41万粉！奥尼尔只是注册了一个推特什么都没发粉丝现在就超过19万了米姆发的推特最多，有31条！粉丝5231人！沃顿的粉丝869人.
It seems that everyone is still paying more attention to O'Neal and Kobe for the Lakers, and Odom's words are rapidly rising in terms of popularity and influence at this time!

Although Twitter has been around for a few months now, it is still very new.It is rarely discussed in traditional media.But gradually people discovered that the news on Twitter spread very quickly!

On the other hand, the number of registered Twitter users is increasing rapidly!The next day at 4:[-] a.m., the Pistons’ official Twitter responded to Zhou Yang’s first tweet, “Let’s see who will be on vacation first.”

The incident was not reported by the traditional media until after two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.On this day, Mim is also considered to be back from injury.What Coach Jackson meant was to let Mihm train in the training hall for a few more days, so that he would not have to participate in the next three games of the preseason.

As a result, to Zen Master's surprise, Mihm directly rejected 4 games.Say you need to train more.

Phil nodded in relief at hearing this, and he didn't have much hope for a player like Mihm.Because they have been playing for so many years, Mim's personal performance is still not improving.

Maybe if he is lucky, he can get a salary of 200-400 million US dollars a year in other teams.Meme, who is very hard in the game, does leave a good impression.But sometimes his speed cannot keep up with the opponent, which is a fatal shortcoming.

"How's practice going meme?" The team will play a game against the Mavericks at home after a short practice today.Meme is still in training.

"The three-point training is really... I feel like I'm picking up a basketball for the first time when I'm doing the three-point training," Mim said to Zhou Yang in frustration.

"Then how about your long-range jumper?" When the two began to communicate, the surrounding Lakers players began to look lively~
"Meme~ You don't have to give me $5. How about $3 and I'll teach you how to shoot three-pointers for a week?" After Smush finished, everyone burst into laughter.

"Be careful that Mim's three-pointer will be better than you in the future~" After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the surrounding teammates who were resting laughed even more happily~ Mim felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Ignore them, you haven't answered me yet"

"If the three-pointer is changed to a long-range shot, it will be much closer. I am sure to score more points."

"It's not to make you stop shooting three-pointers. Now you're about to play. Let's shoot long-range first in the game, but it's not long-range three-pointers."

"I'll play in the next game, Zhou Yang"

"Relax, the head coach hasn't given up on you. Your role in the Lakers this season is still not small! It's not that you are asked to surpass O'Neal and Odom, and you may not be able to do it. It's for your future. Considering the price increase, don’t you think so?”

$5 for one week of class, one and a half hours a day At present, there are no other Lakers players who want to listen to Zhou Yang's class.Some of them are in good condition now, and some of them are on the edge of the Lakers, but I feel a little embarrassed to spend money to attend this second-year class.

After the 4 preseason games, Zhou Yang's average data per game is only 6 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Some media have already believed that the data obtained by Zhou Yang in his first year in the NBA may be just a flash in the pan.In such a fiercely competitive Lakers team, it should be buried soon.

It is also said that it is better if you are in the center position, but you must have a relatively tall and strong body and a decent reaction speed.For example, Yao Ming now.Asian players in positions 3 and 4 may not be able to achieve much.

After returning to the team, Mim excitedly began to practice the classwork assigned by Zhou Yang on the basis of the original training.
Sometimes the Zen master came over and saw that Mim was sweating profusely while practicing there, and he was a little dumbfounded.It's not like he hasn't done anything before to make players spend more time training.

However, it was found that the training enthusiasm of the players was not high.Fortunately, the team also has a certain training plan, as long as the training is over.In the future, Phil will not ask players to practice more unless they encounter critical or special circumstances.

Although I don’t know what Zhou Yang said when he taught Mim, at least this guy has increased his training time in addition to his previous training, which can’t be said to be a bad thing~
The last game of the preseason is a trip to San Antonio against the Spurs.This game is still very attractive to fans.In the last game against the Mavericks, the Mavericks defeated the Lakers 98:80.The Lakers can be said to play very relaxed.

Zen master laughed directly when he saw his team's playfulness in the third quarter.Then I chatted with the teaching assistants.

In the preseason, Jackson also saw the ability of the Lakers to trust the players, basically showing a good blue-collar level.And Evans, who came from the Pistons, has the performance of becoming a substitute for Kobe or Smush at any time!
And if one of these two is injured on the team, Evans can immediately step up.

Odom is still tweeting every day in the hospital while the Lakers play their final preseason game.This time they are facing the Spurs.The voices in the media seem to say that the Spurs will definitely win this year!

The hearts of the fans who came to Staples Center today were divided into two main categories.The Spurs want them to win, the Lakers want them to win and whether it is difficult for the Lakers to win the Spurs in terms of play.

It's quite lively on the Lakers side.Everyone focused on Mihm, and even the coach of the Lakers was a little curious. This week, Mihm heard that Mihm had paid out another 5.

And Zhou Yang seems to be really warming up for the preseason.When I get back, I have to teach Mim a lesson.
Several of the more marginalized players on the Lakers wanted to see the meme's jokes.They felt that this big man must have been tricked by Zhou Yang.The second grader was kidding about his meme.

在这些球员中他们觉得已经上了两周课一共花了6万美元，这6万可不是小数目啊！而在周杨和米姆这两位一个年薪300万多一些和一位年薪接近400万的两个人6万美元还真没太放心上。

"In the first few games, our team basically focused on warming up. If we didn't get our mentality back after warming up in the preseason, it would be a waste of effort. Look at how serious the teams we played against were. Be serious"

At this time, some players of the Lakers couldn't help laughing. In the previous game, the opponent was so serious in the game against the Lakers. Although the main players played only a little more time than the Lakers, in the end, the opposing team did not win the Lakers by a big score!

".Who will laugh at me again? How about giving him a fake look at 10 games in the regular season?" The surrounding voices immediately quieted down after Zen Master finished speaking.No one dared to show their emotions so clearly at this time.

"My request for this game is to get back to our state. We are about to play the regular season. If you enter the regular season in this state, then we may lose at least 20 games. Because of this state you want It’s not going to be that easy to win.”

The Spurs have a lot of veterans now.Manu will be 30 after the Chinese New Year, and Duncan is 30 now.Parker is younger, 6 years behind Duncan this year.The rest of the players are basically in their 30s!
If it is other teams, it is estimated that they will start trading players earlier.But in Popovich's view, their team is just right now.

Players don't need to play a lot of time, but as long as the offensive efficiency is not low in the game.They will still scare some teams during the game!
Popovich had some more to say to the players before the game.Duncan and Bowen came to the arena smiling.

The starters for the Spurs today are Duncan, Bowen, Matt, Parker, and Udrih.On the Lakers side are Mihm, Zhou Yang, Walton, Kobe and Smush!

Jackson gave Mihm the starting position at the beginning and there was curiosity in it.Let's see how the meme works after class during this time.

First, Duncan got the basketball and passed it to Parker.Matt made a three-pointer directly after receiving the basketball in the frontcourt!Kobe dribbled the ball across half court, Walton took over the basketball and started to organize the game!
After receiving Wharton's ground pass, Mim's back-to-back single Shifo was directly blocked!Before Mim could react, Duncan had already taken the first step to get the basketball and then made a long pass to Parker!

After Udri got the ball, he passed it directly to Bowen!Under Zhou Yang's defense, Bowen made a direct pass to Parker who had already run over!The latter got up and scored a three-pointer!
It seems to be a familiar feeling here on the Lakers.Kobe never asked for the ball, he quietly took the ball to the frontcourt.Basketball came to Zhou Yang.Facing Bowen's defense, Zhou Yang made a jump shot directly!
Mihm pops up and gets the rebound and passes to Walton!This action startled Jackson.Maybe it was just an accidental reaction, but this time Mim's reaction speed did seem to be much faster!
Luke saw that there were not many opportunities and passed the ball again. Duncan thought Mihm would hit hard, but he made a wrong prediction.When I was backing away, I saw Mim doing the same thing face to face with him!
Before Shifo rushed out, Mim jumped up from a long distance and hit the basket with 2 points! !This long-range 2-pointer is much more comfortable than the three-pointer I practiced, at least it is much closer in distance!

"Not bad~" Kobe smiled and patted the meme before running.The Lakers players didn't expect Mihm to score so quickly!Shouldn't he be shooting from close range or throwing a little hook or something?
Mim found Next Zhou Yang when he ran back, but the other party was staring at the Spurs players there!Mim's speed is indeed relatively slow, but as Zhou Yang told him in the hospital at that time, as long as the consciousness is faster, the body movements will follow up earlier!

There may be more mistakes, which may be a side effect of him reacting faster than before.But as long as it is like just now, even if Zhou Yang hits that goal, Mim will not lose anything.

Speeding up one's reaction in a situation that may lead to a smaller error rate may lead to good results!The meme in the past would not have thought about it at all, but today he did it, and he became the first Lakers player to score in this game!
Then Duncan went to the back of the basketball and forced a meme to dunk! 8:2!Once the Spurs' rhythm is up, it's really not easy to defend them!After receiving a pass from Zhou Yang in the frontcourt, Kobe directly shot a three-pointer from Parker and went into the net!
The Spurs now see Kobe as the Lakers' offensive maniac!They found that Kobe's efficiency on the field in the preseason was not low!In addition to the high number of assists, he can also get an average of 20+ points per game!
Jackson reduced Kobe's average playing time to less than 18 minutes!In the previous game, Kobe scored more than 18 points in less than 20 minutes!Then how many points can he score in a game in the regular season?

The West this season is looking good!The team basketball of the Spurs players on the court, the Mavericks' combat power at this time makes everyone look and feel very high!The luxurious lineup of the Lakers appears again!The Suns also seem to be stronger than last season!
Compared with Phil, Popovich looks less relaxed on this end.As he expected, the two teams were not so relaxed at the beginning.He is equivalent to watching the play characteristics of the two teams and who of the Lakers players can play a role in the end this season.

What makes him unhappy is that the Lakers have added another powerful player this season!Zhou Yang has never played much, and his thoughts are different from what the media said.The strength of this Asian player will have to be seen in the regular season.

On the Spurs' side, Udrih didn't have a three-pointer, and Smash rushed to the frontcourt after getting a pass from Mihm!Kobe got the ball again and hit a three-pointer! !The fans at the scene immediately cheered up!

The opponent's quick opening point difference advantage was tied by the Lakers!Just as Parker was about to run, he heard Ginobili's voice on the sidelines and went directly with his teammates.Popovich called for a timeout.

"I don't know why Jackson didn't let O'Neal start. If there is nothing to do on defense, our offense must keep up with the speed of the Lakers. Go straight up and compete with the opponent for points. The opponent may not be better than us in defense, and we In terms of offensive efficiency, if this game can be won, it should be about the same.”

Popovich then played Marcota, a rookie of the year at small forward.And Zhou Yang, Kobe and Smash of the Lakers went off the field.They were replaced by Brown, Farmar and Vujacic.

Kwame Brown didn't use much last season, but the player can play quite well.Vujacic has also become calmer after the baptism of last season.But he still relies on Zhou Yang more in the game.

Now the possibility that Zhou Yang will continue to feed his student Meme is gone.Ginobili dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, faced Vujacic, passed the opponent directly, then passed Farmar and Walton again, and scored a layup!

The breakthrough of Yaodao sometimes makes it difficult to find the rhythm. At this time, as long as he wants to score, it is still very difficult to defend his players!Parker is organized and accurate, while Ginobili's offense is even sharper!
After Farmar went to the front court, he was directly defended to death by the opponent!Walton comes over at this point to get the basketball and pass it to Mihm.The latter jumped up and dunked directly!In the first quarter, Mihm has scored 4 points!

"Zhou Yang, how much is your cram school for a month now? I heard about it recently, and I want to learn it too~" O'Neill smiled and motioned the players next to him to sit with him.Then he sat down next to Zhou Yang and asked.

"5 a week. I don't accept discounts." After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he saw Ao Pang's expression of surprise~
"Isn't your price a bit high~ Look, what do you do if you let the rookies of our team still have low salaries~" The other players of the Lakers also happily listened to the big shark there. Joking with Zhou Yang.

However, Zhou Yang thought that $100 a week is indeed a little expensive for some Lakers players who earn less than $5 million a year and even lower salaries.
"If you want to listen to it, you can listen to other versions if the salary is not high. It will also be improved, and the price will be relatively cheaper," Zhou Yang said seriously.

"Is that $5k a month or does it drop to around $.2000k a week?"

"[-] a week, no discounts"

"Haha, let me see if I can sign up for the $2 class~" O'Neill said with a smile, and saw that Mim who was present hit the line and scored [-] points!
"What's wrong with meme playing super long today?" Jackson leaned forward obviously after seeing the team score this time.

The Spurs did not expect another backup center of the Lakers who had just returned from injury to score 6 points before the end of the first quarter!And did the player pay for a good trainer or something?
It was only at this time that the opponent noticed that Mim's style of play had changed a bit!This player no longer focuses his offense too much on power hits and small hooks.Instead, he chose to open the long shot!

Just take the ball and go back a little bit to get a three-pointer!Mim dared to shoot like this!And it's still hollow!
Although the former meme was basically an ordinary blue-collar center, the statistics of the game were relatively average.But occasionally there are times when I suddenly play well.But in today's game, the Spurs players always felt that he was a bit unusual
Sometimes Mihm, who only scored 6 points in a game, felt that his confidence had strengthened after the 2-point hit just now!He inadvertently saw Yang and O'Neal chatting on his team's bench last week~ Zen Master didn't care, just watched the game quietly with his arms around his shoulders.

In the first few games, the Spurs found that the Lakers basically didn't let the main players play too much in the game.Today they used such a lineup to keep the same score as them!

The old man of the Spurs was walking back and forth on the sidelines.This is strange.Did Mim start training in the hospital?The Lakers now have Odom, Brown, and Zhou Yang on the front line.Now is there another meme? !What are they up to? !

Thinking of this, Popovich feels a little headache.So he returned to the bench and continued to watch the game after sighing.At the end of the first quarter, Duncan and the others could no longer go up.

If the Lakers' bench lineup defeats the main force of the Spurs or keeps the score stalemate until the end, it will be interesting. What will you say then?Oh, the main force of the Spurs is just going up to warm up, don't care about winning or losing?Will the media believe it?
In the second quarter of the game, the Spurs only let Yaodao play here, and replaced all other positions as substitutes.Mim scored 8 points in the second quarter!After more than 6 minutes in the third quarter, he was replaced. In this quarter, he scored 1 point with free throws.

When walking back to his team, the Zen master came over and patted him on the back.And half of the Lakers players on the bench can no longer laugh
This big guy who usually has difficulty scoring 10 points in a game in the regular season has now scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist!Although it is the last game of the preseason, the data obtained by the opponent still surprised them.

What team are they facing?It's the San Antonio Spurs!In the first quarter, even with the "Troika" on the field, Mim can still get the score relatively smoothly!

O'Neal has already played the game at this time.In the second quarter, Zhou Yang played for a while and was replaced again.

Now it's suddenly quiet here on the Lakers bench.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and some teammates were comforting themselves at this time.This is the preseason, and of course the Spurs didn't take it seriously.

Then he whispered this reason to Aaron and Turiaf.After listening to it, the two also felt that it made sense.Only then did they heave a sigh of relief.

Of course, the results of the preseason shouldn't be taken too seriously~ We won't know until the regular season.And judging from the number of Lakers this season, there are quite a few players in the 4th position!
There are also several center positions that can be replaced with each other!That is to say, the Lakers players want to get good data this season unless their own abilities are good, and the coach arranges more playing time.Otherwise, it is not easy to get the data of last season.

They looked at Zhou Yang who was seriously watching the game not far away.They have also read recent media reports, and it may be true as reported.The Lakers also have a chance this season!
Before they came to the Lakers, from the game and the news, they felt that this team really raised players!Look at players like Wharton, Vujacic and Zhou Yang, they look quite ordinary, but now after a season, they are basically "gilded" successfully!

"What are you talking about? No discount" Zhou Yang felt that Turiaf, who was two players away from him, seemed to be talking about his class.Seeing Zhou Yang turned around and said something over there, there was no movement immediately.
