last super center

Chapter 67 Attacking the core, who is it!
Connected in the air, Gordon and Su Mu once again completed a tacit cooperation. After Gordon landed, he opened his hips, put his dunk hand in the center of his crotch, and stood in a very ecstasy posture. up.

Nima
Can you play well?

This guy Gordon has changed his stable and introverted image in his previous life. I don’t know if it’s because of his own reasons. Gordon started to develop in the direction of Durant. He looks coquettish, and sometimes he likes to make incredible Actions.

Su Mu really wanted to step forward to give Gordon two big contests, but the Warriors had already launched a fast-break counterattack. Curry turned around and dunked after reaching the inside, which once again pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Yes, you heard it right, Golden State dunker Zach Curry actually finished the dunk in this fast break!
Maybe you will be shocked by Curry's dunk, but in fact, this is really nothing to Curry.

The accuracy of the outside line makes people forget Curry's athletic talent. Do you really think that Curry's breakthrough does not require speed, but only rhythm?
Do you really think that Curry's layup point is very low?How many big centers will be blocked in that way.

Really think Curry's confrontation is bad?Yes, he is indeed easy to be targeted on the defensive end, but you have to understand that what kind of players are targeting Curry. Dunking is too easy for Curry who is 1 meters tall.

And the Golden State Warriors' fast break speed is also extremely fast. This year, 2014-2015, is the season for the Warriors to completely push the small ball era to the world, leading the frenzy for the next ten years. Already played an extremely terrifying conversion speed.

"I'll kill you, believe it or not?"

"Damn is playing, can you give me some treats!" Seeing Gordon's slow defensive pace, Su Mu was furious.

This kid's professional attitude needs to be improved!

No wonder the Magic chose Gordon as a core player at the beginning. After playing for two seasons, they found that this kid hadn't improved at all. Not in games, or in training to hone your skills.

"It's just a warm-up match, why are you playing so seriously?" Gordon shook his head, and even found time to respond to the shouting fans beside him.

That shy look made Su Mu even more angry.

"If you lose tonight, let me tell you, no one can sleep peacefully!"

The first game in the NBA, even though it was only a preseason game, Su Mu didn't want to lose. The Golden State Warriors are indeed very strong, but they can't be brazen enough to let the Splash Brothers play the entire game, right?

As long as these two are replaced, it is really not certain who will win.

The first memories must be good.

For Gordon, Su Mu's mind is full of unbearable memories.

Decided!
Starting today, he will increase his efforts so that this kid can no longer do anything except play!
Looking at Su Mu's fierce eyes, Gordon shivered for no reason.

Murderous!
"FUCK! Isn't it the Golden State Warriors, I will beat them tonight!"

"Victory will belong to the great Los Angeles Lakers!"

With righteous words, Gordon said that he was going to start getting serious.

After the first quarter, the Warriors took the lead temporarily. At 30:26, players from both sides also dedicated a [-]-minute offensive battle to the audience.

In the overwhelming dunk feast, Su Mu fully demonstrated his super physique beyond the category of the yellow race, which caused the fans on the scene to scream again and again.

A large part of the meaning of the warm-up match can be understood as an exhibition match, just like the NBA All-Star Weekend. No one really thinks that the All-Star MVP is very valuable, right?
You must know that when a player clearly expresses his attitude on the court and wants to win this year's All-Star MVP, other players generally will not compete with him.

In the settlement of historical status, this kind of performance competition will not be included in the scope of judging at all.

"Do you need to rest for a while?" Scott looked at Su Mu who was not sweating, and asked kindly.

Compared with other coaches, this is what Scott is better at.

Where is the core of the mess?

A bad performance must be done in a very layered way. The cultivation of core players cannot be left behind. The overall tactical coordination of the team also needs to be tempered.

The road to rise is very difficult, and the head coach has to take care of all aspects.

In the NBA, coaches not only instill tactical ideas into players, but more importantly, they care for players' self-esteem and bring players with different mental states together.

Former Nuggets coach George Karl has done quite well in this regard.

The players are allowed to make mistakes, and the players allow the coach to occasionally make stupid moves, but the mutual respect and trust between the players and the coach has never been damaged.

One of Carr's frequent sayings is: "Nobody can command or play a perfect game.

Although cancer prevents Karl from working as selflessly as he did when he was young, it is precisely because of his illness that Karl becomes wiser and farsighted.

It is a pity that George Karl met Carmelo Anthony, who is extremely individualistic. The early melons can be defined as a "tumor" of the team to a certain extent, not passing the ball very much, indulging in independent offense, and defensively It was also completely blasted, and his defensive habits were extremely bad.

If it weren't for the mediation of the Nuggets' high-level executives, this pair of famous NBA "mentors and apprentices" might have parted ways long ago.

As for the disciple who brought George Karl's spirit to the extreme, he has to mention the head coach of the Thunder's third junior, Scott Brooks!

The time when the Nuggets studied under George Karl was the most important period of growth for Brooks.

It was Carl's precepts and deeds that made Brooks, and the Thunder coach also kept in mind his teacher's teachings.
It is also with this coaching philosophy that Scott can effectively help these young people grow rapidly when general manager Sam selects potential rookies one after another.

I am not afraid of young people making mistakes, but I am afraid that young people will not do anything!
Brooks allowed them to express themselves on the court, and also allowed them to make mistakes on the court, but as long as they actively corrected, everything would be in time.

For Gordon and Su Mu, Lakers coach Scott's philosophy is very clear.

Two talented people, maybe Gordon needs more promotion, but Scott always encourages them to do what they can on the court, even if they can't do it for the time being, it doesn't matter, they are still young, they still have great potential s future.

After a meal of poisonous chicken soup, and then asking teammates to give the two more opportunities to attack, wouldn't this superstar embryo be slowly cultivated?
What surprised Scott was that compared to Gordon, who was already very physically fit, Su Mu didn't even sweat much after playing the first quarter.

So, should we replace him?

That's why Scott asked politely.

As a newcomer, combined with his own coaching characteristics, Scott does not feel that such an approach is less dignified. On the contrary, it may shorten the distance between him and these young players.

"No need, Su Mu is not closed tonight!"

The first NBA game in his life, even though it was only a preseason game, Su Mu still hoped to play the entire game.

It was a memorable first trip to the NBA. After several years, when Su Mu recalled this game, he would certainly not be left with regrets.

"By the way, Gordon has to play the whole game, don't change him, let him stay on the court."

After taking a sip of the sports drink, Su Mu added to Scott.

What?

Gordon, who was in the short state, showed a black face with a question mark. Why can't I be replaced?

"Well, I'm a little tired and I need to take a rest." Cautiously, Gordon said to Scott.

"What? You want to fight another 500 years?"

"No problem, I will absolutely satisfy all your requests!"

"If you lose the game today, I will train with you until the end of time!"

"Gordon, you have to believe that my enthusiasm for you will never fade!"

"Hey Hey."

Looking at the huge malice approaching, Gordon swallowed hard.

Today, I performed well. I cooperated with you frequently in the first quarter, and there was no problem in communication. I even gave you a wink!
How come things are so good that things have developed into what they are now?

Looking at Scott, who was busy arranging tactics, Gordon looked at him, not knowing where he had offended Su Mu.

"It shouldn't be, is my performance not good enough?"

"Since this is the case, I will work harder in the second quarter, so that I don't need to train at night, and then I will follow Su Mu to experience the authentic Huaxia massage with essential oils. The taste must be wonderful!"

Thinking of what Su Mu said to him back then, Gordon was secretly happy.

(#^.^#)! !
Unconsciously, he got up again!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Gordon even took the initiative to ask for the ball. Jeremy Lin was still on the court, Clarkson was replaced, and Ellington went into battle.

Boozer was also replaced, Jordan Hill came to the fourth position, and Su Mu formed the inside twin towers.

Scott wants to test what kind of effect Jeremy Lin can play with two young people in battle.

Jeremy Lin didn't hesitate, and looked at Su Mu who was stuck inside. Su Mu waved his hand, and Jeremy Lin handed the ball to Gordon.

Green had already left the court for a rest. After fighting hard for 8 minutes in the first quarter, Cole felt that it was enough. It was just a preseason game, and he didn’t need to play too much time. At the beginning of the second quarter, there was no need to put the main lineup on the field. superior.

In this way, it gave the Los Angeles Lakers a good opportunity to chase points and sharpen newcomers.

The No. [-] player who came off the bench was not Iguodala, because the first brother replaced Barnes, Marreese Speights, this man is strong, has a medium and long-range threat, can open up space, but moves slowly , The inside player who was not very outstanding on the defensive end was replaced and was responsible for the defense of Gordon.

Gordon glanced at the defender in front of him, and instantly got excited. This is not purely sending rice, and there is no reason not to eat it.

Gordon's physical confrontation is not as outstanding as Speights, but his footwork and breakthrough speed can definitely achieve crushing.

After two steps, Gordon went inside, faced Festus Aizeli, and chose to pass the ball by mistake. Su Mu had already prepared for it, and jumped up at once, following Aizeli's direction. The top of the head is a heavy buckle!
Su Mu seriously doubts that Cole is letting the water go. Whether it is Speights or Aizeli, the lineup of the two cannot match the strength of Los Angeles' insiders.

To deal with these two people, Su Mu has absolute confidence and can press them to the ground and rub them!

Jordan Hill only needs to stand aside and watch the show, and it is enough to grab rebounds by the way.

Offensive and defensive transition, the backcourt combination of Barbosa and Livingston, yes, these two are players who can run, Livingston has the height of a striker, but works as a second position, a former genius Boy, you must know that Livingston at that time was also a superstar that people had high hopes for!

Keep all bad luck behind me, my fate is up to me!

To be honest, Su Mu felt that this sentence was especially suitable to describe Livingston's experience in the NBA.

February 2007, 2 was Sean Livingston's eternal nightmare.

Not long after the Clippers' game against the Bobcats, Livingston landed on one leg during a fast break and broke his left knee. At this time, he had just played in the NBA for two and a half years.

The diagnosis was hopeless: torn anterior cruciate ligament in left knee, torn posterior cruciate ligament, torn lateral meniscus, severe medial collateral ligament strain.
what does this mean?
Means the worst possible outcome for Livingston, is this leg still usable?

Maybe, but it's already very difficult!

His left knee was so badly injured that doctors advised him it would be best to have it amputated.
But Livingston refused to accept his fate and chose surgery.

After the operation, it took several months to recover just to be able to walk again. Almost everyone believed that his career was over.

But the result?

The tenacious Livingston not only returned to the game, but also continued to play in the NBA for 11 seasons, and finally retired with three championship rings!
Now, Livingston's positioning in the Warriors is very clear, not what he can do on the court, but what the team needs him to do on the court. Although Livingston has a strong ability to displace singles, the Warriors The ball has always been in the hands of Curry and Green. Livingston only needs to use the threat of shooting to stand where he should stand. When Curry is not there, he will stand up and use his physical advantage to score!
The terrifying turn-around jumper, when Livingston takes the ball to attack, it will unconsciously make people have a must-go idea.

Ellington couldn't guard Livingston, and simply pulled out head-on, and the basketball fell into the net bag with a swish, without causing the slightest ripple.

At the end of the first half, the two sides had a miraculous tie. With the Warriors overwhelmed, the Los Angeles Lakers only handed over a tie.

Scott didn't say a word. He was observing the situation on the field. The cooperation between the players was quite good, but there was a very serious problem:

In the absence of Kobe, who is the core of their offense?
