After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 358 Chapter 357: The most suitable system, the best players in the world are dispatched!
In the corridor leading to the media center, the walls are lined with various photos.

Many of them are about Shay.

In the 99 Finals, Shay helped Goldstein and Spike Lee close their jaws on the sidelines.

Shay pouring champagne down his ankles in 97.

After reaching the summit in 96, he raised his arms high in front of Jordan and roared
These photos are all telling the glory of Shay.

And Shay, who created miracles one after another in the 90s, is now about to embark on a brand new battlefield.

After walking into the media center, the sound of the shutter "clicking" immediately sounded in Shay's ears.

The Staples Media Center is several times larger than the Great Western Forum back then, but it is still full of reporters today.

At this time, the media center in Staples may be more lively than Golden State in 2023.

Stop sending people here!

At this moment, a young reporter suddenly rushed up, broke through the defense line of the security personnel, laughed and hugged Shay.He was a fan of Shay when he was a child, but Shay had retired when he entered the industry, so he never had the opportunity to see Shay on the scene.Given the opportunity to come to the scene this time, he immediately forgot about his work.When he was taken out by the security personnel, he still laughed and shouted: "Lakers champion!"

At the press conference, there are reporters who can't help chasing stars.

This is probably the influence of world-class sports superstars.

Shay shook his head with a smile, then sat down calmly.

This kind of big scene has long been used to him.

From being drafted by the Lakers in 1991 to the present, Shai has been living in the spotlight.

As soon as Xie Yi took his seat, the reporters below immediately became agitated and raised their hands to ask questions.

It's just that other reporters may not be as friendly as the little fans just now.

"Shay, who is the core of the team's signings? Do you feel that you are a little too involved in the team's signings? It is said that it was your idea to trade Zach Randolph?"

The first question was very unfriendly. After all, not only the Los Angeles media came here today, but also many media from other places came to muddy the water.

This year's offseason, because the Lakers' series of operations were too weird.

Therefore, there was a saying on the Internet: "It's all controlled by Shay!"

People said that it was because of Shai's interference that the team missed the All-Star insider like Elton Brand.

It was because of Shay's interference that the team made the ridiculous trade of David Lee for Zach Randolph.

The major media gave this deal a C- rating, and they simply don't know the significance of the Lakers' doing so.

This is completely taking a good-for-nothing student with full potential for a worthless data brush.

The key point is that the salary of the data brush is quite high, but the gameplay of Suchang is the price of the game field.

It is simply incomprehensible.

Faced with this unfriendly question, Shay just shrugged calmly:

"That's not interference, that's deep involvement in team building.

What's wrong with Zach?He's the best big man I've ever seen.

He takes 20+10 like eating and drinking.

I believe he can be successful in Los Angeles. Sometimes, it doesn't have to be a problem with the player, it may just be the wrong place for him. "

The reporter smiled disdainfully:
"Yes, he takes 20+10 like eating and drinking, but he also goes to the drag club from time to time to attend his aunt's funeral."

When the reporter said this, the people at the scene laughed.

In Portland before, the most absurd thing Randolph did was tell the team coach that his aunt died and he had to take two days off to attend the funeral.

As a result, he was photographed haunting drag dance clubs by reporters at night.
"Going to a funeral at a drag club" has become one of Randolph's most popular memes since then.

Shay didn't smile, he looked serious:
"People make mistakes, but they don't always make mistakes. He is my teammate now, and I will get better with him."

After that, another reporter stood up: "How is Gerald Wallace's injury?"

"He's recovering really well."

"However, the lung shrinkage injury will definitely affect his career?"

"You don't even know how strong Gerrard's heart is. You don't know anything about him."

"Well, even if Gerald Wallace does get back to normal, it's a fact that the Lakers aren't competitive this season.

The team did not solve the problem of the inside line, but also introduced Randolph, a time bomb, and even
Even you, you can't guarantee that you are 38 years old and can still show a better state than last season.

In ESPN's latest strength rankings, the Lakers ranked ninth in the West.

Xie, don't you really think that with this lineup, you can really return to the throne?
It doesn't matter if you lie to your buddies, don't fool yourself! "

On both sides of Shay, Buzz Sr. and Kupchak felt embarrassed.

The reporter's question is too explicit now, and there is no room for Xie to detour!
But Xie Yi's tone was still confident, and the reporter was speechless when he asked back with just one sentence:

"Why do I have to 'rely' on a lineup to win the championship? If a lineup can win the championship by itself, then why should I do it?
The next season for me is a hunt, and I am the king of the wild hunt, the best players in the world are out! "

Shay's answer was very beautiful and perfectly resolved the embarrassment.

But in general, people are still full of doubts about the prospects of the Lakers in this press conference.

The reporters were all ready to watch Shay shoot himself in the foot, even without the start of the new season. On the first day of preseason training camp, that diehard Randolph would definitely make the Lakers feel uneasy!
All the reporters are waiting to see the Lakers explode themselves, the whole big news.

In fact, even Kupchak himself is skeptical.

He feels that he is finished. If the Lakers fail next season, the root cause is that this summer's signings are not good.

According to the usual practice of NBA teams, if the team fails, it will find someone to take the blame.

This summer, the person who is responsible for the blame is the former coach Frank Hamblen, so next summer
It's over, I'm a stand-in!

With desperation, Kupchak began the first day of preseason training camp.

Although he doesn't have to be in charge of team training, he still wants to see the spirit of the team.

He deliberately came to the training ground four or ten minutes earlier to see who would come first.

When he opened the door of the training hall, Gerald Wallace was already practicing shooting.

Moreover, the training vest he was wearing was completely soaked in sweat.

Kupchak is not surprised by this.

Gerald Wallace's early shooting was not good, not to mention shooting three-pointers, and even the free throw level was close to that of Big Ben.

But this guy worked very hard. He just practiced day by day to improve his shooting to the passing level of the wing.

Kupchak glanced at Wallace, then walked to the sidelines and chatted with Carlisle, who was also there.

Although Carlisle left the Pistons and Pacers for a while before, he still worked with the Lakers and Kupchak for a few years, so the two are quite familiar:
"How does it feel to be back?"

"It's very exciting, and I can chase honors again."

"Don't talk about that, tell me, can our lineup make the playoffs this year."

After Kupchak asked, Carlisle looked at him like a fool: "Will a man be indifferent to a beautiful and active woman? Your question is as meaningless as this question."

Kupchak gave Carlisle a blank look. At this moment, there was a sound of shoes rubbing against the floor outside the training hall, which meant that someone was coming again.

Mr. Ku looked at his watch, who would come to the training hall 37 minutes early on the first day:

"Let's make a bet on Rick, guess who is coming, bet 100, I guess it's Roy."

"I think it's him too."

"You're cheating, you can't choose someone I've already said."

"Okay, I guess it's Shay then."

As a result, after the door of the training hall was pushed open, it was a burly man who walked in like a big black bear.

Kupchak opened his mouth wide, the second earliest person to arrive at the training facility today
It turned out to be the problem youth Randolph!

Randolph wore headphones on his head, did not say hello to anyone, and went straight to the court to start warming up.

Kupchak glanced at Carlisle in astonishment: "Damn! What happened to that guy?"

Kupchak thought that Randolph would be thankful for not being late today.

No, as long as he can show up on the practice field and stop going to the drag club to attend his relative's funeral, he is doing the Lakers face.

Who knows, instead of being late or absent, Randolph showed up on the training ground ahead of schedule!

Carlisle was also a little surprised. He knew that Shay was good at tricks like this, but even Rodman, who was more than ten years ago, was caught by Shay from the bed and brought to the training ground on the first day.

But this Randolph, Shay has not started to treat him, he is already so obedient?
All Carlisle could do was mutter, "Shay's right, nobody makes mistakes all the time."

After that, brand new Lakers players arrived one after another.

They are all full of energy, looking forward to dancing with God.

Instead, Xie Yi was the last one to arrive. Of course, he was not late, so he was stuck at work.

Mutombo laughed and teased: "Why did you come? Did you stack buffs for the new season last night?"

Shay also teased Mutombo: "You haven't retired yet? O'Neal has been made old by you!"

Finley on the side answered, "He's still young, he's not yet 60, and he's in his prime."

After chatting with each other, Carlisle clapped his hands:
"I'm Rick Carrier, our new coach for this season.

Of course, I'm not a new coach to some people either.

We gather here this year with only one goal - to win!
I don't care what the media says, but you guys are the best lineup I can imagine.

It's time for Zijin to shine in the 21st century! "

Carlisle wasn't lying, this lineup worked really well for him.

Because a few days ago, Shai had discussed this season's system with Carlisle.

In the previous transfers, Shay built them according to the needs of this system.

What Shay wants to build is a system similar to the 11-year Mavericks!

In the original history, the Mavericks in 2011 were a team-type offensive team that relied on Nowitzki's high-post threat, and others were diligent in running around him.

Nowitzki takes the ball in a high position, and others revolve around him. It is possible to run and shoot, it is possible to cut suddenly, or Nowitzki may play alone.

That year, 80% of the Mavericks' offensive tactics revolved around Dirk's high pick-and-roll, or Dirk turned his back to ask for the ball.

This system requires everyone to pass the ball, and a guard who can shoot the ball, such as Terry.Needs a wing that can cut, like Marion.

Of course, the most critical thing is to need a single point with enough threat in the high position.

Corresponding to the Lakers, these roles are Roy, Wallace and Shay!
And when the Lakers have an advantage over the Mavericks, the Lakers still have Randolph, a low-post killer, who can be the deputy core.

Randolph's low-post singles power and mid-range threat give more possibilities for tactics.

In short, the Lakers next season will be a very, very team team.

If you have to talk about type, the 11-year Mavericks and the 23-year Nuggets may become the template for the Lakers.

Carlisle called it "Showtime on the offensive."

Shea believes that the strength of a team is not whether it is star-studded or not.As long as the right people are put in the right system to operate, and don't do things like let Westbrook play off the ball, then the team's strength will not be a big problem.

In this way, the Lakers started a pleasant first day of training.

On the training ground, Roy kept pestering Shay to teach him how to attack the frame.

Shay didn't hide it either: "It's very simple, no matter how many people stop you, you just jump up. After their bodies start to fall, you can lay up again. How about it? Are you a waste of learning?"

Roy: .
The eyes probably will!

Shay really became the person he hated the most back then.

In fact, not only Roy, young players are very excited to continue to play with a legend like Shai.

Almost everyone is interacting with Shay.

Even the "problem boy" Randolph is no exception.

This guy, who never took the initiative to say hello to anyone, took the initiative to walk to Shay's side during the training interval:

"Hey, thanks for speaking up for me at the press conference."

Shay just nodded with a smile: "Are you still used to living in California?"

"Eh, everything is fine, sunny and bustling."

"Hahahaha, when you win in Los Angeles, you know what is bustling, Zach."

At this time, Roy also moved to Randolph's side: "Brother Xiong, if you have the opportunity to teach me back-up singles, how can you maintain such a soft touch in the confrontation?"

Randolph froze for a moment and scratched his head.

Obviously a little uncomfortable with such a friendly teammate.

After all, without the Blazers, teammates will not say hello without their mothers.

After being stunned for a moment, Randolph waved his hand shyly:
"Uh, come on. There is no teaching you, just to communicate."

Randolph and Roy held the ball and went to practice under the basket.

That No. 50 who caused trouble everywhere was as gentle as a big brother next door.

No way, the team atmosphere can really change a person.

In the Trail Blazers, his teammates were all boys who had entered the supervision department, and everyone had thorns on their bodies. In that atmosphere, Randolph would not become violent and rough.

How exaggerated is the Trail Blazers?Players have to carry guns to defend themselves when they go to team parties, because everyone has conflicts, and if they don't agree with each other, they may start fighting.

This kind of team is suitable for Arenas and Morant.

And what about the Lakers?Except for Matt Barnes, everyone is pretty easy to get along with.

Anyway, Shay really couldn't think of what kind of person could conflict with Roy.

What kind of person can be against Gerald Wallace who is just practicing hard.

What kind of person would hate Finley and O'Neal as big brothers.

Randolph just needed a place that accepted him, not judged him.

Why did he suddenly become a different person when he was in the Grizzlies in the original history?In his own words:
"In other places, I don't even know what the boss looks like, but in Memphis, the boss flew to pick me up, the general manager picked me up, and the fans and teammates respected me.

From that moment on, I knew this was a team I would give everything for! "

That's why Shay asked Bass Sr. and Kupchak to accompany him to pick up Randolph.

That's why Shai spoke up for Randolph at the press conference.

Now, add the good team atmosphere of the Lakers.

Randolph will definitely be able to be reborn from Nirvana just like the original history!

With what Rodman did, you were able to fight the violence and get him out of bed.The harder you are, the more he will obey you.

But with Randolph, you've got to be tough and let him know you think of him as one of your own.If you fight hard with him, he will only become more and more rebellious.

Shay has a good grasp of the psychology of these old blacks.

It can only be said that Shay deserves to be Victoria's answer.

Women's psychology can be manipulated to death, so how difficult is it to manipulate a few old blacks?

In the general manager's office, Kupchak was watching Randolph's performance through the window glass, lost in thought.

Incredible, simply incredible.

Randolph is actually practicing happily with his teammates instead of wrestling!
In the 90s, when Shay was brilliant, Kupchak was just a small assistant next to Logo, and he had no chance to have direct contact with Shay.

So he actually doesn't know much about Shay, he only knows that he is cheating and created the Zijin miracle in the 90s.

But now, Kupchak seems to know why he's so beeping.

He also finally understood what Old Buss said before: "You don't know anything about the greatest leader in basketball history."

During the media session after the first day of training, the reporters flocked like old perverts who smelled the smell.

In their expectation, Randolph would be sorry for his name if he didn't fight during training today.

They all want to catch the clues of discord in the Lakers team.

As a result, when the reporters rushed in, they saw Randolph hugging Roy's shoulders and chatting happily:
"Brother, if you come out to play in the future, just look for my brother! These tight and unscrupulous clubs in Los Angeles, I got all the cards on the first day I came!"

"Brother, you see what you said. Do I need a card to play in Los Angeles? Uncle Tim's name is enough. He is a shop explorer blogger, and he can get a discount! From now on, we will go whoring together for free!"

The reporters were dumbfounded, these two didn't look like acting.

Isn't there anyone in this world who can have a good relationship with Randolph?

Reporters rushed to interview several other players, asking them what they thought of Randolph, and the results were shocking.

Shay: "Zach is a good comrade."

Elvis Presley: "Zach is a very good big brother. With him, our team will be more stable."

Finley: "He is very easy to get along with, I don't know why you smeared him like that before."

Carlisle: "He's a good young man who is motivated."

Finally, the reporter interviewed Jermaine O'Neal.When Randolph comes, there is no doubt that he will take away O'Neal's starting position.If anyone on this Lakers team hates Randolph the most, it's Olympiad.

In the end, Xiao Ao was indifferent:

"There is no difference between a substitute and a starter. The player's responsibility is to help the team. If the coach thinks that I can help the team better by playing on the bench, then I will play on the bench.

And with Zach's good players starting, I believe Shai can get more help. "

This wave of the Lakers has completely wiped out the reporters. What the hell are you secretly brainwashing Randolph? ?
That night, countless fans who were waiting to see the excitement were disappointed.

Randolph's chocolate bomb didn't explode.

Not only did it not blow up today, the entire preseason training camp, the Lakers were calm.

Kupchak originally thought that Randolph had just arrived and the team hadn't let go.After getting familiar with it, it will be revealed.

As a result, every day of training after that, Randolph was the one who came first three mornings.

He tempered himself crazily, the muscle lines on his plump body became more and more obvious, and one of his abdominal muscles split rapidly.

He is ready to be completely revived in the new season!
And Shay is also ready to be resurrected in the new season.

At the end of the pre-season training camp, Shay, who was sweating profusely every day, finally completed an upgrade before the start of the season!
In this upgrade, Shay got a total of 13 skill points, which is pretty lucky.

Of course, 13 skill points still can't bring Shay back to the top all at once.

After all, Shay's current speed and bounce have dropped to 75 and 78 respectively.

Although strength and physical fitness did not fall below 80, both of them fell to 81, and they were on the verge of falling below 80.

The traverse speed dropped from an invincible 99 to 86.

A mere 13 skill points is definitely not enough to return to the top.

Shay thought about it and decided to give 4 points to physical fitness, adding it to 85.Then give the speed 5 points and increase it to 80.

Shay's physical ability as a big ball-holding core must not be bad, and his speed of 80 also ensures that Shay still has the ability to break through.

With these two heightened, Shay can be more relaxed on the offensive end.

Bounce will not be added for the time being, because according to the system and style of play next season, bounce is not the most important thing for Shay.

With 4 points left, Shay then gave the traverse speed, adding it to 90.

Although not as abnormal as the previous 99, considering Shai's exaggerated wingspan, he can still become one of the most terrifying defenders in the league.

In addition, this upgraded Shay also drew a gold-level action pack: Tough Guy Dancer.

This name makes me want to do push-ups when I see it.

The effect is: "Significantly increase the fluency of the host's back-up footsteps, and greatly improve the shooting stability after doing the back-up steps."

This time, Shay's style of play transition will undoubtedly be smoother.Paired with the golden rooster's independent backward leaning and shoulder shaking action pack, Shay will definitely be able to play the role of Dirk Nowitzki in 11 next season!

Shai is fully prepared and the season opener is getting closer.

This year, Stern's opponent for the Lakers' opener is the defending champion Celtics!

The drama of the yellow-green battle has not attracted so much attention in the NBA for many years.

And the Big Three, who just won the championship, just want to show their prestige on the head of the former basketball god.

FMVP Pierce even laughed:
"The best player in the world is out? Hahahaha. The best player is not in LA, it's in Boston!

Shay is no longer the answer now, I am the truth of modern basketball!
He shouldn't have come back. "

Garnett must have never told him the tragic stories that happened in Philadelphia because he didn't keep his mouth shut.
　Thanks to Mr. Zhang and other big guys who have raised fat for their rewards, thank you everyone!
