Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 43: Fighting like an elite, perfect performance!
Du En originally thought that this conflict would cause some disturbances.

However, this was not the case. After O'Neal came forward, Payton knew that he was in the wrong and immediately settled the matter.

Afterwards, O'Neal chatted with Duan for a while and said that it was normal for teammates to quarrel, and he and Kobe often quarreled.

In the early years, Kobe couldn't beat him, and those who were bullied by him often complained to the logo man who was the general manager at the time.

It was also the guy with the logo who helped Kobe's arrogance, which made Kobe's voice louder and louder over the years, making him feel more and more uncomfortable.

Under O'Neal's guidance, Duan realized that NBA teams are not like the NCAA.

It is normal for players to have conflicts for their own interests and purposes.

After all, the NCAA has coaches suppressing it, so players don't dare to make mistakes. The NBA is just the opposite. Stars often have greater power than coaches.

Since the coach can't take care of it, and it's thankless to take care of it, then we can only let the stars handle it by themselves.

The more luxurious the team is, the greater the chance of conflicts within the team. Even teammates who win the championship together are not as close as fans imagine.

Cosmos Yong ruled the league during the period, but it did not affect the locker room and caused huge conflicts.

Under the leadership of Jimmy Butler, the Heat made it to the finals in the playoffs, but in the middle of the season, the substitute Butler beat the team spirit Haslem.

O'Neal said that Kobe sometimes made him angry last season, and he even wanted to hit someone.

O'Neill's level of fighting... knows it all.

It is quite normal in the NBA for Duane and Payton to have disagreements and bicker with each other because of the possession of the ball.

The preseason is not just about adapting tactics. Teammates have different personalities, different styles of play, and different interests. These aspects of adaptation are also very important.

In short, O'Neill told Dunn that what happened today is nothing at all, and he will be fine after going back to sleep.

However, even if you want to quarrel in the future, it's best to go back to the locker room and quarrel again, and don't let outsiders know.

Otherwise, the media will surround them like sharks smelling blood, and then the nature of the quarrel will change dramatically.

O'Neill taught Du En a lesson, and he was very clear-cut and eloquent.

But Du En recalled the OK breakup incident in his memory. Wasn't he also provoked by the media and had a big fight with Kobe?
Of course, Duane didn't talk back to O'Neill, and Duane accepted O'Neill's advice humbly.

The game started quickly in the second quarter, and Du En gradually realized: "It seems that I have been fooled!"

Seeing a timeout without calling, standing indifferently on the sidelines, like a sleeping Zen master,
Du En suddenly realized that the conflict between him and Peyton seemed to be induced and facilitated by the Zen master.

In order to control the locker room, Zen master often makes the stars below fight among themselves. At that time, he can come out to be a referee, check and balance the two sides, and grasp a greater right to speak.

From the moment Payton came on the court, he stopped executing the triangle offense and just played on his own, but Jackson didn't stop him. This shows that Jackson did it intentionally.

Perhaps the Zen master originally intended to make Kobe and Payton confront each other, but Kobe had encountered too many things, so he seemed very indifferent at this time and didn't care about anything.

In the past, Kobe would continue to talk trash on the court, but today he started to keep quiet.

Since Kobe can't get on the set, it's time to find someone else.

Duen performed very well in the training camp some time ago. If Kobe hadn't come back, Duen could actually play with the starting lineup.

It is worth mentioning that in the actual 5V5 training camp, Payton was also willing to act on the spot, constantly passing the ball to Duane.

But today, Payton doesn't pass the ball to Kobe very much, let alone Duane, a rookie.

The Zen master saw that Du En had a strong desire to attack and had considerable ambitions.

It was the use of Dunn and Peyton's respective small thoughts that catalyzed their conflicts.

Du En was indeed as he expected, young and with a good temper.

With Dunn's mouth, the Zen master effectively hit Payton's prestige in the Lakers locker room.

If Payton still refuses to be a man with his tail between his legs, and refuses to learn and execute the triangle offense, then he will have to find other opportunities to teach Payton a lesson.

As for Du En, the disciple was wronged, and as a coach, he wanted to comfort him.

Only half a quarter into the second quarter, with the help of a timeout called by the Warriors, Payton and Kobe were withdrawn by Zen Master.

Kobe didn't have any objections to this. Although Payton still wanted to play for a while, he just complained a few words, and then sat on the bench obediently.

Doone is back on the court, and he's joined by Fisher.

At this time, there is such a thick leg like Ma Long on the court!

What makes Dunn even more delighted is that Zen master made it clear that everyone should play around him.

Before, in order to express his respect for the starting players, Zen Master did not speak to the starting players, nor did he take the initiative to call a timeout.

Now that the substitute is replaced, although Malone is still left, he has solemnly explained the matter.

This can be said to be the order of the dishes, or it can be said to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

For Du En, he has to admire the Zen master: "He understands the game! He is good at it!"

With the support of the Zen master, Du En suddenly enjoyed the treatment of Kobe, and the deposed prince returned to his position as prince.

Since the Warriors' main players are still on the court, Duan has been exposed to the intensity of regular-season starting games in advance.

Perhaps because of the Mason template, Duan faced off against Richardson early in the preseason.

Richardson happened to be righted by the Warriors management this season and became the team's master.

Du En said: "I fight the elite!"

After the timeout ended and the game resumed, Duan directly went to trouble Richardson.

As an NBA player who is also in California, Richardson will inevitably hear some news about Duane.

However, Richardson didn't know much about Duane. He only knew that Duane played well in the summer league, but he didn't know that Duane was also quite good defensively in addition to offense.

Looking at Duan's short arms, Richardson thought Duan couldn't interfere with his shooting, so after the three threats, he directly stepped back and pulled up a three-pointer.

To some extent, Duane and Richardson are exactly the same type, even with the same shortcomings.

Compared with excellent physical talent, the level of movement and control is slightly lower, and the combination of man and ball is a little worse.

Many times the breakthrough cannot go directly to the basket, so he is forced to stop in front of the penalty area to shoot a jumper, or break through and score the ball.

This style of play is played too much. In order to seek breakthrough space, it will inevitably increase outside shooting and increase the threat of three-pointers.

It's also a coincidence that, as the slam dunk king who flies into the sky and escapes from the ground, Richardson, like Carter and LaVine, likes and is especially good at shooting three-pointers.

Three-threat step back three-point shot, Richardson used to be able to catch opponents off guard with his excellent bullet speed and shot speed.

I just don't want to, Dunn's bounce speed is quite amazing, even if the arm is a little shorter, the bounce makes up for the lack of wingspan.

Richardson, like other outside players at the moment, is a double-action shot. No matter how fast the shot is, it will still leave some reaction time for the defensive player to jump out.

Soon enough, Du En flew forward and gave Richardson a big hat.

It's a pity that the force is a bit too strong, the basketball goes directly out of bounds, and the ball still belongs to the Warriors.

There is no helper around Richardson this season, so after the Warriors serve from the sideline, the ball returns to Richardson's hands.

After suffering a loss, Richardson no longer simply dealt with Duane, but chose to take it seriously.

Richardson tried to shake Duane's center of gravity with continuous crotch, but Duane kept up with Richardson's rhythm with small steps.

Richardson's own level of movement and control is not high. Apart from his crotch dribble, he is not very good at other breakthrough skills.

Ever since, after two seconds of dribbling, Richardson was embarrassed and found that he had no way to break out or shoot, so he could only hand the ball to his teammates early.

After Calbot Chaney got the ball, he went directly to the basket. Devin George failed to follow Calbot Chaney's footsteps, and Malone came to defend him in time.

Perhaps Malone's defensive deterrence was too great, and Karl Potter Chaney immediately stopped and shot a jumper.

He was just an ordinary starter, but after seeing Malone's big elbow, he made a hasty shot, and the ball was obviously short.

Although Malone's frame protection is not good, he still does a good job in protecting defensive rebounds and blocking positions.

After Malone took off the rebound, he immediately passed the ball to Fisher, and then immediately went down quickly, waiting for Fisher to pass the ball again.

At the same time, Dunn was also rushing forward, but Fisher strictly followed Zen Master's arrangement, dribbling the ball across half court leisurely, and still playing the triangle offense on the ground.

The preseason game was originally used for training, scoring is not that important, it is important to practice and run-in the triangle offense.

After the Lakers players all stood up, Fisher passed the ball to Duan, and then ran to squat in the bottom corner.

Dunn took a look at the Warriors, who didn't double-team him like defending Kobe. There was only one Richardson in front of him, so he also chose to play singles.

With the advantage of strength, Duane played back from a high position and hit Richardson to the free throw line.

Speedy Cresketon, who was defending Fisher, didn't double-team him, so Duane just half-turned and shook his shoulders, and shot a fallback jumper.

Richardson's bullet speed was fast, but he was still stunned. When he flew over, Duane had already completed his shot.

The ball was a little disturbed, but it still rolled into the net while rubbing against the rim.

In the 2 minutes of the first quarter, Du En just turned back and ran for nothing. In the second quarter, he gained enough tactical status and possession of the ball. As soon as Du En came up, he defended and attacked, repaying Zen Master's trust.

Next, in the Lakers' offensive round, Fisher still handed over the ball honestly, and Duan also played behind the ball honestly.

Duen did not eat alone and compared his feelings with others. After suffering Payton's loss, Duen slowly learned to control his desire to attack.

Both Fisher and Devin George got some three-point opportunities from the wings and corners after Duane's post-up attracted the defense.

However, due to constant back-ups and Richardson, the strongest defensive player in the Warriors, Duane consumed a lot of energy.

After only three shots in the third quarter, Duan took the initiative to find Malone in a pick-and-roll and handed the ball to Malone.

As the core of tactics, playing strictly according to the triangle offense, Duane's three-pointer was temporarily blocked.

If it's just a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, it's not a triangle offense, but a stand-up single.

Playing the triangle offense according to the script really suppressed Du En's offensive firepower, but everyone played this way, and Du En didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage.

All in all, he made 3 of 2 shots in the half quarter, including the 2 minutes of the first quarter, and made 4 of 2 shots in the first half. He scored 4 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block. The statistics are not bad.

For Dunn, the release of offensive desire is still in the second half.

The Warriors withdrew their starting lineup after the first half, and Duane, as a rookie, continued to play in the second half.

Without starting-level players to compete with Duane, Duane's physical talent advantage appears to be very large.

Even the level of movement and control will not be restricted by the opponent's perimeter defense, and can directly rely on its own strength to break into the basket and attack the basket to score.

第三节杜恩开火的汹涌了一点，7投4中，三分球2投1中，罚球2投2中。

Although he played the triangle offense most of the time and created some opportunities for his teammates, he still scored 11 points in a single quarter, in addition to 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

In the fourth quarter, Duan only played 3 minutes.The main reason is that the point difference is a bit big, so there is no need to play too hard in the preseason.

At the end of the game, Duane played 21 minutes and made 14 of 8 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored the Lakers' highest 19 points.

From a rookie perspective, this performance can be called perfect.

Even the Zen master affirmed Duane's willingness to strictly follow the triangle offense and his willingness to share the ball with his teammates...
