Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 31 I will take the lead in the charge, and I will dunk you!

It was approaching three o'clock in the afternoon, and the air conditioner in the Pyramid Stadium was running wildly, releasing a lot of cold air.

However, it was not cold at all inside the arena, but seemed very hot!All this is because of the enthusiasm of the four to five thousand fans at the scene!
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the players of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Canadian Men's Basketball Team, who had already warmed up, appeared on the court one after another, and then stood on the sidelines waiting for the game to officially start.

Unlike the Canadian men's basketball team, which surrounds the coach and listens to the coach's tactics, the Lakers are divided into two distinct circles.

The smaller circle, centered around coach Kurt Rambis, has just four players.

The larger circle around Dunn and Kupchak is point guard Genilo Pago, shooting guard Kareem Rush, small forward Luke Walton, small forward Amy Udo Card, power forward Stanislav Medvedenko and center Jamal Sampson.

Summer league usually does not require the general manager of the team to take the lead, and the assistant coach leads the team and it's over.

However, the Lakers general manager Kupchak personally came to supervise the battle today, on the one hand, it represents the attitude of the old Bass, on the other hand, it is also because Zen Master is not good at cultivating rookies.

What Zen Master is good at is adapting to situations and adjusting personnel and tactics.

And build a championship-winning system that can make good use of the leading players and inspire the fighting spirit of the substitute players.

Other coaches are either fed chicken soup, or they are the main force.

Even if the head star is very tired, he still actively implements the tactics of handing the ball to the head star.At most, it is just to say when the head star is about to die of exhaustion, I left a few timeouts for you to rest.

But the Zen Master was able to say domineeringly to Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe: "If you want to win the championship, you have to listen to me!"

In the future, Kerr, the Warriors' four-time champion coach, inherited Zen Master's coaching philosophy.

Appropriately suppress the star players, distribute the ball to the role players, and fully mobilize their enthusiasm.

Then find the right opportunity to let the leading star release the desire to attack that has been suppressed for a long time, and win the game with full firepower.

Having said that, the current Lakers summer league coach is Kurt Rambis, and Rambis is an assistant coach of Jackson.

Because Zen Master values ​​veterans with rich game experience and is not so interested in rookies, the purpose of Rambis leading the summer league is not to develop rookies.

In fact, most old-school coaches who can lead their teams to win championships don't like or are not good at cultivating rookies.

Popovich has the ability to train rookies because the Spurs have no money and can only work hard to train rookies to fill the gaps.

Of course, Popovich also likes to recruit veterans, and many veterans have taken on a new lease of life under Popovich.

The reason why old-school coaches like veterans is actually very simple, because veterans have rich experience and it is easier to understand their tactics after joining the team, which can make their work easier.

Compared with a rookie who knows nothing and is full of loopholes, it is naturally easier to use a veteran, and it is easier to achieve results.

In terms of employing people, Zen Master is essentially no different from Larry Brown.

The Lakers have so many CBA players, not because the logo man and Kupchak didn't choose the right one.

Just look at the Warriors in the future. Cole didn't cultivate any decent rookies, and he only kept training two-way players.

In this summer league, Jackson's original intention was to let Kurt Rambis help test the quality of several veterans he selected from the free market.

However, because of the recent draft, the Lakers selected Dunn and Walton Jr., two related households.

Old Buss wanted to prove his vision, so the summer league strategy had to be adjusted.

And because there were a few rookies who hadn't been cultivated in the past two years, so they just put them in the summer league to try.

Take it as a test to see if Duane really has the ability to lead a team!

After all, it is not so easy to become the future of the NBA giants Los Angeles Lakers.

"Dunn, the game is about to start, let's say a few words!" Kupchak encouraged.

Although Du En was favored by Old Buss, after all, it was Kupchak who personally sold favors and traded him from the logo man.

Once Duane fails to play, the outside world will definitely criticize Kupchak for being the scapegoat, rather than criticizing Buss for being blind-sighted.

Therefore, Kupchak hopes that Dunn can play more than anyone else.

It's best to cover the limelight of the No. [-] pick LeBron James!
"I will lead the charge and lead you to win the game."

The Duen people don't say much, but their goals are very clear.

It is to be a ball bully, concentrate the ball and slap a gorgeous statistic.

In the summer league, it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

For Duane, the more important thing is to show his "talent" and let Buss and Lakers fans have more expectations for him.

The 17-year-old Kobe made a big splash in the Long Beach Summer League, scoring 4 points in 100 games, which made people infinitely reverie.

If Duane wants to have more say in the Lakers, he needs to use the summer league to perform better than rookie Kobe.

"Don't worry, Dunn, we will assist you well." Genilo Pago expressed his loyalty in public.

Then, Karim Rush, Medvedenko, and Sampson, who had met Dunn at the Shaq Manor before.

Also, Little Walton and Uduka, who had just met during the training camp two days ago, also expressed their support for Du En.

It can be said that long before Kupchak came forward, O'Neill had helped Dunn establish a certain prestige.

Therefore, even if Rambis had his own mission, under Kupchak's suppression, he couldn't make any waves.

Soon, the two sides made their debut, and the Lakers were Pargo, Dunn, Walton Jr., Medvedenko and Sampson.

The Canadian men's basketball team is a group of unknown chickens and dogs.

These days, the Canadian men's basketball team relies on Nash alone, and it is impossible for Nash to come to the summer league to play with a lot of hard work.

Speaking of which, at the beginning of the game, Dunn was a little wary of the name of the Canadian men's basketball team.

However, Dunn was not afraid at all when he saw Canada's inside line take the ball in the low post and play back, but slowly hit beyond the three-point line.

I thought Embiid was already invincible, but I didn't expect there was someone softer than him!

Realizing that Canada was afraid of confrontation inside, this strengthened Duan's belief in scoring from inside.

With the first attack of the Canadian men's basketball team, Dunn immediately made a fast break and flew up.

Pargo intends to show his favor to Dunn, and first dribbles the ball quickly to attract the defense.

Immediately after the high-throwing basket, Du En cooperated with the take-off to eat the cake, and smoothly completed the alley-oop.

"Dune, Dawn, Dawn!"

I don't know if Nike hired a few of them, or if the Lakers fans spontaneously came here to watch Duane play.

In short, after Dunn scored with the conversion attack, there were fans cheering loudly, but the number was not many.

Duang——

Not long after the Lakers scored, the Canadian men's basketball team also tried a fast break. Taking advantage of the Lakers' lack of position, they grabbed a three-pointer, but it failed.

When Du En, who had just returned to the backcourt, saw this, he immediately rushed to the frontcourt at full speed.

Pargo continued to pass the ball, but because the intention of passing the ball was too obvious, he was actually intercepted halfway.Fortunately, it was a long pass, and the pass was not weak, and the basketball was finally thrown out of bounds.

Duan has already digested Terry's template and is naturally not afraid of serving the ball from the sideline and playing positional battles.

Duane quickly got the ball and motioned for Medvedenko to step forward as a screen.

Medvedenko is a European power forward who has a good mid-range and also knows how to play pick-and-rolls with guards.

Duan broke through with the ball and went to the left. As Medvedenko stepped forward, he blocked the Canadian defender who was chasing Duan.

Dunn, who had no pursuers behind him, only needed to get rid of the Canadian insider who had made up in front of him.

With Duan's speed, it's no problem to beat defenders who don't move quickly laterally, not to mention the opponent is a soft and stupid inside player.

Just an acceleration, Du En directly passed the person, and then faced the empty penalty area, directly with three big steps and one-handed dunks.

Duane quickly came down from the basket and faced the help defense, but did not stop him. Instead, it was the Canadian insider who took the initiative to pick up the ball after he scored.

Du En couldn't help but raise his chest, curl his arms and fist at him, and roared angrily.

"I want to block you!"

How much Dunn hopes that the Canadian insider in front of him can defend honestly like Ewing and Duncan, and serve as a background board honestly.

As a result, he actually gave up halfway through assisting in defense.

This is a good opportunity for Dunn to dunk the big center and make headlines.

Just look at Griffin and you will know that the short-hand dunk will appear particularly violent when dunking an opponent.

If Dunn can play the famous scene of deadly dunking a big center in the first summer league game, it will undoubtedly attract fans.

It's a pity that the opponent didn't cooperate at all.

Like when Curry was about to dunk, there was only a bare floor...
