After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 221 220: New offensive and defensive system, Shay's rookie transformation plan!
Shai set sail in the aging battleship and then, in the anticipation of Lakers fans.
2 wins and 4 losses in the preseason.

It seems that just set off, it completely capsized.

The last time the Lakers played so hot in the preseason was the first year that Shai and Barkley cooperated.

At that time, Shay and Fliggy shared the booty, ah no, the ball was not evenly distributed, and the team's tacit understanding was not enough, so no one could beat it.

After Shay started to dominate during the regular season and the tacit understanding of the whole team was brought up, the Lakers became unbeatable for anyone.

But this year, the problems encountered by the Lakers are more serious than before.

Because this is not something that can be solved by the distribution of ball rights and the improvement of tacit understanding.

Carlisle found that the defensive system of the Lakers during the two consecutive championships is no longer applicable to this group of players.

We have to tear it all down and start over!
How did the Lakers defend before?Crazy oppression at the expense of physical strength, making the opponent make mistakes, and then sprinting to counterattack.

The Lakers game is called a flowing cloud, and every time the fans can enjoy screaming and shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

But in the preseason, the Lakers' oppressive defense could not be suppressed.

Although Finley is active defensively, his defensive aggressiveness is not as good as that of Madman, and the flanking rotation is always a little bit off.

Finley, from his character to his playing style, doesn't feel aggressive enough.

Like an admiral, he was a little too gentle and lacked a bit of murderous intent.

The madman before his brain broke, but he entered the stage with the mentality of "whoever you are, I'm going to kill you today".

Finley lacked this temperament.

On the other hand, the gorilla's ability to protect the frame is still very strong, but his mobility has dropped too much after the serious injury, and he can't meet the requirements of fast rounds to replenish defense at all.

The current gorilla is "No. [-] in the world in standing defense", and he is still very enthusiastic about defense.

But if you want him to guard against it, the effect is really not good.

In addition, McMillan, Dell Curry and others are also over 30 years old, and their physical functions have declined.

Therefore, the Lakers used to be able to use mobility and aggression to ensure that there were no open spaces while pinching and pressing.

But now, the oppression is not oppressed, and she still looks like a passionate Brazilian girl-always leaking everything!

During the preseason, the Lakers' defense was completely broken.

Although Shai and Ewing are the two great defenders inside and outside, defense is not just a matter of just finding two defensive players and throwing them on the field.

The defense can only be strong if the five players are connected together with a suitable system.

Facts have proved that the routine of pressing defense-making mistakes-fast break and counterattack is no longer applicable to the Lakers.

This Lakers team has grown too old to produce that kind of high-intensity pressure.

In the entire team, there are only four players under the age of 30: Shai, Finley, Robinson and PJ. Brown.

The average age of the Lakers this season is 30.3 years old, the oldest in the league.

The Bulls are already very old in people's impression, and their average age this season is just stuck at 29.9 years old.

Only the Lakers have an average age of over 30 in the entire league.

The pressing defense obviously can no longer continue to be mechanically applied to this lineup.

Carlisle must find a way to live out the new defensive system before the start of the new season opener!
With only 6 wins in 2 games, Shay is also very depressed.

Haven't lost like this in years.

Although the Lakers had a lot of feathers last season, they also achieved an impressive record of 63 wins in the end.

This season, the whole team was harmonious. As a result, Nima had 2 wins and 4 losses in the preseason.

How about going back to a year ago!
While Carlisle was losing his hair crazily, Barkley's sun was unexpectedly smooth.

The Suns have played offensive basketball this season, and Barkley, Hill and Webber can all play their talents to the fullest.

Moreover, after all, Barkley has two championships in hand, and Hill and Webber are the kind of people who are willing to share the ball.

Therefore, regarding the status of the team, Fliggy can handle it directly.

The feeling of being the boss really makes Fliggy very happy!

The most important thing is that the Sun Flying Pigs don't need to work too hard to defend!

This is so cool to explode!
Jordan's Bulls are also working hard. Most consecutive championship teams are often the strongest in the second championship.

Because the tacit understanding has been practiced to the full level, the tactical routines are also very familiar.

And the mentality and body are not as exhausted as after two consecutive championships.

The Bulls had a series of victories in the preseason, and they also went to the McDonald's Club World Cup to win a championship and came back, killing all European clubs.

The morale of the whole team was greatly boosted.

The rays of the Bulls and the sun completely overshadowed the Lakers.

Shay has an annual salary of 3000 million that has never been seen in history, but he suffered the worst beating in the preseason.

This really made the sunspots revel.

However, Lakers fans are not in a hurry.

It is not the first time that the Lakers stretched their hips in the preseason and ended up killing in the regular season.

The team will definitely get back to form in the regular season, it doesn't matter, everyone is just looking for form.

then
Then the Lakers played the same record as the preseason in the first 6 games of the regular season.

The start was only 2 wins and 4 losses!
This is the worst start of the regular season for the Lakers since the 78-79 season!

The Lakers first lost the Bulls in the opening game, and also lost the Western Conference teams such as the Jazz and SuperSonics during the period.

They only won the Nuggets and the poor Timberwolves.

At this point, the whole of Los Angeles is not calm.

Lakers fans are actually mentally prepared for the team's decline, and they haven't expected a winning streak like the past few seasons.

But at least it must be guaranteed that there are more wins than losses.

Even Shay, who was in his rookie season, led the team to a 5-1 start during the same period.

2 wins and 4 losses, this is really beyond the psychological capacity of Los Angeles fans.

With the team playing like this, Shay, who has an annual salary of 3000 million, is undoubtedly the first to be targeted.

"Six games, averaging 28.1 points per game, Shay's scoring ability has improved again. It can be seen that he even has a certain mid-range shooting ability this season.

However, when a team can't win the game, the star's data will be worthless!
Six games, only two wins.

The Lakers don't talk about the championship now, it would be good if they don't fall out of the playoffs this season! "

On TV, the host of the NBC basketball program even put a big question mark on whether the Lakers can make the playoffs.

It seems that the glory of the Lakers has come to an end here.

It seems that Shay really can't win the game without strong teammates.

Only Carlisle knew that the team just hadn't adjusted to the new system he created.

In the past four seasons, most people on the team have been used to fast break and fast defense, and many things have even become muscle memory.

At this time, it suddenly changed to a half-court offensive and defensive position, and it will definitely take time to adapt.

In the last win against the Nuggets, the team's offense and defense have actually improved, and the system has played a little bit.

Ewing sent a season-high 4 hot pots, and Shay only scored 24 points but sent a season-high 14 assists, kneading the team's offense together.

The fans even joked about whether Shay and Bellucci discussed several ways of writing Kun characters last night.

Triggered the buff of "eat chicken to win".

It's just that the Nuggets are not considered a strong team, so this victory is not very convincing in the eyes of the outside world.

Although Mu Tongbo led the team to beat the Supersonics miraculously in 94.

But last season, they entered the playoffs again as seventh in the Western Conference, but were swept by the Spurs.

To put it bluntly, the Nuggets are a marginal team in the playoffs.It can only be said to be lackluster, not to the point where the fragrant crotch burst.

So many people prefer to believe that the Lakers can win because the Nuggets are not doing well, not because the Lakers are capable.

Even with the win, Shay was pushed to the forefront.

Just after training today, he was surrounded by reporters who rushed into the training hall:

"Shay, can the Lakers save this season? Do you think you are still in the championship?"

"The team has slowed down a lot this season. How much impact does this huge change have on the team?"

"Do you really miss Barkley and Sprewell now?"

Shay was extremely calm, and answered the reporter while wiping his sweat with a towel: "If I remember correctly, there are 82 games in the regular season, right? We've only played thirteen-thirds of the games, and you conclude that I have failed? "

"However, the current situation is that the Lakers have nothing to do with a playoff-level team. Except for the Nuggets, but the Nuggets were only seventh in the Western Conference last season.

Moreover, you only won the Nuggets by only 4 points.

If it weren't for the young Antonio McDyess of the Nuggets missing both free throws at critical moments, the result of the game would not be certain. "

Shay glanced at the reporter who responded to him, and the words "Daily Chicago" were written on the microphone in his hand.

Reporter from Chicago, no wonder.

Xie Yi did not evade, but replied equally stiffly:
"There are not so many ifs in the game. We only lost 3 points to the Sonics before, and 6 points to the Jazz and the Bulls. How many points we lose means that we are not strong enough, and how many points others lose is bad luck?

Sir, is your life unsatisfactory? "

The reporter of "Daily Chicago" was stunned speechless, after all, he is indeed a double standard.

But soon, he squeezed out another smile:
"Well, let's wait and see, Shay. In the next game, the team's opponent is the Sacramento Kings, the eighth player in the Western Conference last season.

Another playoff-caliber team.

And it's a strong defensive team.

When you get 2 wins and 5 losses, let's see what you have to say. "

The reporters all hope that Shay will overturn. After all, he has offended fans and the media in too many places in the past few years.

In the next game, the Kings will indeed have a hard time playing.

The Kings are now gradually coming out of the haze of missing Shai.

Although the Kings just barely made the playoffs last season, they still stole a victory from the Lakers in the first round.

The Kings were the eighth-ranked defensive team last season, and ranked first in the league in limiting opponents' three-point shooting percentage.

The most important thing is that the Kings have Jordan's hand-picked successor, one of the "three most difficult guards" in Jordan's mouth.

"The Rock" Richmond, second-team guard and All-Star MVP last season.

It is worth mentioning that the "three most difficult guards" in Jordan's mouth are Shai, Dumars and Richmond, and Drexler is not included.

It is easier for Jordan to get Drexler than to get a Cuban model~
Richmond can be said to be an all-rounder, and is called Pierce in the second position by fans in the 21st century.

It's not that he has been stabbed, but that he has no technical shortcomings on the offensive end.

And super selfless, also willing to defend.

However, because the overall strength of the team he is in is not strong, Richmond does not have any dazzling team results.

That made him the most underrated player of the 90s.

The Kings can beat the Lakers of last season, wouldn't it be easy to beat the Lakers of this season.

Except for Los Angeles fans, almost everyone believes that the Lakers will be buried by the king.

At that time, with a record of 2 wins and 5 losses, Shay will be useless no matter how hard he speaks!
In addition to Shay, Finley, the only rookie added by the Lakers this year, was also interviewed by several reporters.

Reporters asked him if he would worry about getting in front of Richmond tomorrow.

But at this point, Finley wasn't worried about Richmond.

But Shay the next day!

During the training session on the second day, Michael Finley stood uneasy on the court.

After seeing Shay walking towards him, Finley deliberately lowered his head, trying not to meet Shay's eyes.

Shay stood beside Finley with a smile on his face: "You know what Michael, I always think there is something wrong with your pick."

Finley raised his head slightly, he also felt that there was something wrong with his ranking!
Finley has never figured out why he fell out of the lottery with such a burst of physical fitness.

Is it because I'm a senior?It's not fair at all!

You stinky men only like 18 to 20!
What happened to our 22s! ?

He thought Shay would motivate him, but Shay said, "You don't deserve to be in the first round!"

The others looked in Finley's direction and shook their heads.

Once this poor rookie is responsible for facing Shay in the training game, he will be tortured by Shay both physically and psychologically.

At the beginning of the training game, Shay did not control the ball, but stood in the middle distance on the right.

Finley was close to defending Shai, but the aggressiveness was still insufficient.

Shay saw the ball dribbled over, so he suddenly elbowed Finley on the chest, and then raised his hand for the ball:

"Come on Nate, I'm unguarded! I'm wide open!"

Finley gritted his teeth and stuck up, continuing to defend.

But as soon as he approached, Shay elbowed Finley hard again: "I'm free, I'm free!"

Although Finley has a good temper, he was also pushed a little bit by Shay.

Shay had been very aggressive with him since day one of training camp.

Whenever there is a small mistake in training, they will be scolded.

Fighting against that was even more vicious, and now Finley was a little afraid of Shay.

But he found that being afraid didn't solve the problem.

Shay is like a mad dog, biting himself like an enemy.

Today, I got another two elbows. The good-tempered Finley couldn't take it anymore, so he pushed Shay!
"What are you doing? I'm here to play!"

Seeing that Finley actually pushed himself, Shay blinked and smiled at Carlisle on the sidelines.

But soon, Shay returned to that vicious look ""

"Playing? Isn't that how playing is played? As long as you can stop me from scoring, you can use any method, so I won't be like a fucking woman!"

After speaking, McMillan has given the ball to Shay.

Shay turned to face the frame after receiving the ball, and Finley immediately put his palm in front of Shay's eyes.

But after Shay made three threats, he suddenly started, pushed Finley away with his shoulder, went inside and scored an easy layup!
After scoring the goal, Shay looked at Finley and shook his head vigorously: "The second round, we should fucking pick you in the second round!"

Finley gritted his teeth: "You just fouled!"

"Oh my God, listen! Hahahaha, he said I just fouled!

You also tell the referee the same way during the game, you see the referee ignores you.

Even if I fouled, I already got 2 points.

Now, it's your turn! "

Finley also got excited and asked for the ball to single out Shay.

In order to prevent being intercepted by Shay, he held the ball with his back.

However, Shay didn't even put up a defensive stance at all.

He just stood beside Finley with his hands down naturally, with disdain in his eyes.The moment Finley turned over and shot a jumper, Shay did everything he wanted and cut the ball away!

"See? If you have my defensive efficiency, then you can defend in a gentle manner.

But if you can't do it, then you can honestly confront me!
Your defense is too soft!You better remember what I say! "

Finley gritted his teeth and continued to defend Shay.

This time Shay made a golden rooster independent fadeaway jumper in the low post and hit it easily again.

"What about confrontation? Didn't you fucking eat? What are you waiting for? I'm going to blow you up, tell me what are you waiting for!?"

Shay's roar filled the practice hall.

On the sidelines, Thibodeau was a little worried: "Will Shay be too harsh on Michael!? If Michael's self-confidence is frustrated."

Carlisle waved his hand: "No, don't worry, Finley is not such a fragile person, let Shay follow his method."

Carlisle smiled after he finished speaking, the boy who slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon.

Now this Shay is more or less a tyrant.

In the training that followed, Finley was, as expected, beaten to the ground by Shay.

Shay's verbal arts also kept the practice hall buzzing.

"Grandma Shaq and you can both score in double figures heads-up!"

"Damn, Stephen from the Dale family can beat you casually!"

"Rick, how many points have I got on this kid? What? Only 15 points? Shit, my fault, I thought I had 40 points because he didn't guard a single one!"

Finley is out of breath, which is why he dreads scrims every day.

Because Shay always treated him more viciously than his opponents.

For Finley, playing training games is more difficult than playing official games!

But today, Finley's fear has turned to anger.

He knew that Shay looked down on him, and he knew that Shay missed the madmen in the third team and the second defense, and missed the group of powerful teammates.

From day one on the team, Shay didn't give him a good look.

The more Finley thought about it, the angrier he became. Damn it, I didn't ask to come to the Lakers.

At that time, Finley dreamed of being selected by the Bulls, staying in Illinois to play, and realizing the Bulls' dynasty with his idol Jordan.

The Bulls had the 20th pick, but the Nima Lakers cut him off with the 19th pick.

He didn't want to come to Los Angeles to report!
All these messy things made the honest Finley unable to control his emotions anymore.

Finally, in this defense, Finley jumped up when Shay broke through for a layup, and directly pressed Shay down in the air!

Shay fell to the floor with a thud, and Finley was ready to pack up and get out.

He knew that only one word from Shay was needed, and the Lakers would give up on him without hesitation.

Ewing pushed Finley away, trying to pull Shay up.

But Shay waved his hand, and laughed loudly: "Yeah, that's the fucking defense! You finally, finally reminded me that you're a man!"

Shay got up on his own, and for the first time, the first time Finley had seen Shay smile at him.

Afterwards, Shay was still provoking Finley on purpose, and the trash talking still didn't stop.

Finley's confrontation on the defensive end also gradually became vicious, and even he didn't realize it, and he began to fight Shay like a mad dog!
At the end of the final practice, Shai, like clocking out of get off work, scored 27 points on the top of Finley's head.

Finley was defended and scored only 7 points, 4 of which were free throws.

He was blown away by Shay again, another day with no gaming experience.

After returning to the locker room, Finley immediately lowered his head when he saw Shay walking beside him.

He knew that Shay would definitely bury himself again.

But this time, Shay just patted Finley on the shoulder: "Tomorrow, do you dare to defend against Richmond?"

Finley looked up in surprise, why did Shay's voice suddenly become gentle when speaking to him?

"If the coach wants me to play against him, of course I can."

"No, I'm not asking if you'd like to, or to listen to the coach.

I'm asking you, do you fucking dare to kill him!Dare to confront him!

Do you feel timid when you meet him face to face?
Know why you fell out of the lottery?
Because you are a good person. "

After all, Shay walked to his locker and began to discuss with Ewing which new KTV opened in Los Angeles.

George Town Fruit Plate Duo!

Since the gorilla came to Los Santos, the turnover of the major entertainment venues in Los Santos has increased to varying degrees.

Ewing, the great economist of the 20s.

Finley sat alone in front of the locker, thinking about Shay's "because you're a good guy."

Shay secretly glanced at Finley who was in a daze, looking forward to his performance tomorrow.

Now that the team is like this, it is useless for Xie Yi to become stronger and work hard alone.

Everyone must become stronger before the record can recover.

And Finley is Shay's first transformation object.

Shay has no grievances or personal grievances with Finley.

Not to mention the fact that Shay looked down on him as Finley thought.

The reason Shay was so harsh on him was to force him to change.

Because in this new defensive system formulated by Carlisle, Finley's role is very important.

And to bring out the power of this system, Shay must first bring out Finley's potential!

Finley's overly gentle defensive style is quite detrimental to this new system.

Shay's rookie transformation plan, as far as today is concerned, has begun to achieve initial results.

Finley has now begun to become fierce and fierce.

Hopefully, tomorrow, Finley will not disappoint again.

Of course, Shay can no longer disappoint Lakers fans.

The record of 2 wins and 4 losses at the beginning is indeed a bit careless.

No matter what the situation is tomorrow, no matter whether Finley will change or not, Shay will definitely fight for a victory!
Either the new system works and kills the game, or Shai kills the game himself.

It's time for the record to start getting better!
