Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 46 Real integration into the team

Standing on the free throw line again, Zhao Hao thought to himself, anyway, my free throws are like this, so I just smashed the jar and threw it at the basket.

Swish!
The miracle did not happen, the basketball wobbled around the hoop and then rolled out again.

Well, everyone looked at Zhao Hao with strange little eyes, and the expression of contempt was very striking.

One of your pitchers sucks free throws like this?
Even O'Neill is better than you!

Zhao Hao spread his hands. He really wanted to say don't insult O'Neill. Although this guy's free throw career is bad, he never relents at critical moments.

The game continues.

After being blown as a technical offender, the rest of the game became much more normal. Everyone should run tactics, and train newcomers. All in all, it was fun.

"As such an accurate shooter, his free throws shouldn't be bad." Tang Shuai still couldn't forget the scene of constipation just now, and said suddenly.

"Although I don't think a pitcher's free throws can be so bad, it is true. In these two games, his free throws have been 4 for 0, and during training, I have also observed that the shooting percentage is not high. High." Hamblen reminded.

"Well, coach, my free throws are very good." Vujacic on the side heard the conversation between the two coaches, and hurriedly said courteously.

Tang Shuai and Hamblen looked at each other, then patted Vujacic on the shoulder and sighed.

"Well, good, you keep working hard."

Vujacic: "."

"Tell Kobe so that he has time to teach Zhao Hao's free throws. From now on, he will be the designated veteran player to lead Zhao Hao." Tang Shuai turned around and continued.

Hamblen was stunned for a moment, and somewhat questioned Tang Shuai's decision.

For rookie league players, the team will arrange for him an experienced old man to lead his growth. This is the tradition of the NBA, and it does work.

But no matter in which team, there is no precedent for a core leader to do this.

And who is the designated old man now? It's Kobe!

Hamblen has been with Kobe for many years, and he knows Corvo's character too well.

Dare to pour coffee in Eddie Jones' sneakers as a rookie, dare to talk trash to O'Neal in the second year.

Even when Zen master Phil Jackson entered the Lakers, the first sentence he met was: I can beat Jordan one-on-one, I said it.

Such a ruthless person, you let him guide a newcomer?
Regardless of whether Kobe agrees or disagrees, let's say that his training can be called a devil's style. Which rookie can stand it?

What's more. No matter how good Zhao Hao is, his future upper limit will be a good starter.

There is no need for Kobe to guide such a player.

"They have a good relationship, I can tell, so this matter is settled." Tang Shuai gave Hamblen a meaningful look, and said directly.

Hamblen spread his hands and did not refute, but the expression on his face already showed that he was not optimistic about this decision.

"What we should be most worried about now is not Zhao Hao's free throw, but what to do inside. Do you have any good ideas?" Tang Shuai continued.

Hamblen recalled the scene of Murphy beating Odom twice in succession.

Although the Warriors have a two-tower lineup with a good combination of offense and defense, it has to be said that such an inside configuration is not the top of the league.

But it is this kind of inside line that can make the Lakers helpless. It is conceivable what the Lakers will end up after encountering those top teams in the future.

Hamblon knew where the problem was, and it wasn't Odom, it was Mim.

Odom is defending Murphy with a center physique, and it is impossible to completely defend one-on-one, so normally Mim should rush over to help defend.

What's more, Foyer, who is defended by Mihm, has almost no offensive ability at all, so it doesn't matter even if he is released.

After all, even if he was asked to vote, he wouldn't be able to.

Moreover, even if Foyer receives the pass and does not shoot, but chooses to attack directly from the frame, it is not so easy to stuff the basketball into the basket with his height and ability.

In the worst case, it doesn't matter if you lose a foul, it's better than scoring two points easily.

But the key is that Mim is indifferent in the audience, and I am happy to see Odom being ruthlessly singled out!
This is the lack of defensive awareness and anticipation!
"Divac's defensive experience is very experienced, you can send him up to try." Hamblen suggested.

"No, Divac is too old, and his physical strength is a problem. It is impossible to spend too much time on the court." Tang Shuai shook his head and said.

In fact, Tang Shuai did not intend to send Divac to play in this game. After all, the previous game has proved that the veteran still has oil in his trouser pocket.

So in the following preseason, Tang Shuai intends to let Divac take a good rest and prepare for the next regular season.

"Then what should we do? There is no better center in the free market now, even if it is too late to suggest to the higher-ups, trade?" Hamblen suddenly thought of this, but after saying the trade, he immediately shook his head decisively. Shake your head.

This is absolutely impossible!

Because the Lakers are poor and don't have any draft picks in their hands, it may be difficult to trade.

Tang Shuai also knew this. He sighed helplessly. With such an inside line, it's no wonder that other teams didn't blow up the regular season.

Even if Kobe is an All-Star guard and even almost has the strength of a superstar, it may not be so easy to lead the current Lakers to the playoffs.

After all, those who get insiders win the world!
Time passed quickly, and the game ended quickly in Tang Shuai's thoughts.

80:85
The Lakers lost their second preseason game.

There was no way, Murphy went berserk all over the court, and he was in no man's land inside. He played 25 minutes and scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

The outside core of the Warriors, Richardson, also showed his power after Kobe was off the court. He played 25 minutes and scored 25 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

On the Lakers side, after falling behind at halftime, they withdrew all the starters and only let Butler lead the team with a single core.

Kobe played 20 minutes, 10 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. It has to be said that today's Kobe has no desire to attack.

After all, Richardson is not Ray Allen, Kobe is still not interested in heads-up, and the whole court is passing the ball to his teammates and sorting out the offense.

And Odom's performance today was even worse, with 6 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. The defensive end was blown away by the 211cm Murphy, and the offensive end was also constipated. This is all Ray Allen's fault!
What team to play!What double package to play!
As for Zhao Hao, without the involvement of his teammates, he also didn't get a good shot. He scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, made 6 of 2 three-pointers, and didn't even get a block. Too high.

Of course, the whole game depends on Butler's performance in the second half, otherwise it is impossible to only have a 5-point gap and almost come back.

28 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists!

Butler once again played the All-Star data, and he once again proved his strength and talent.

This game also made all the Lakers players recognize Butler's strength, the proper second scorer, and he didn't run away.

Of course, what touched the Lakers most was Zhao Hao's act of righteousness. Atkins' big mouth publicized it in the locker room early.

Everyone cheered and fought around Zhao Hao. After all, in the NBA group, honest and righteous young people are the most worthy of friendship.

And those teammates who didn't have a good relationship with Zhao Hao before, and even discriminated against Asians, also changed their views and re-examined him for the first time.

Like Butler!
