Guard With a Knife
Chapter 168: [Pretending to be the defending runner-up]
Since the 2008 NBA Draft, Phil Jackson can still hear the name "Snoopy" in his ears, and he can't figure out why Mickey is so caring for a rookie.
Phil Jackson was never a head coach who had patience with ‘rookie players’ from beginning to end, and he had hardly made any achievements in cultivating rookies. He is better at making the dominance of superstars stronger.
As far as the chef is concerned, he is good at making gorgeous dishes with extravagant ingredients.
In addition, in the pre-draft ‘special training’, he has confessed to Kupchak that Snoopy is not in the pool. He is now in the penalty area only because he does not have the ability to master the point guard. With his ability to understand tactics, he will inevitably move in the direction of controlling the game in the future. At that time... it is bound to conflict with the triangle offensive system, especially with Kobe Bryant.
However, under Mickey Kupchak's constant chanting, he still watched several Snoopydou matches.
Among them, he focused on the first two regular seasons.
"Our paint zone needs such a player, he is very tough. He can fill the gaps in the three insiders. He is the kind of super electric eel that can quickly arouse the enthusiasm of the team when thrown into the locker room." Kupp Check repeatedly emphasized to Phil Jackson.
Although he is the general manager, Phil Jackson actually has more power in personnel scheduling. Kupchak must seek permission from the champion coach if he wants to trade, because he plans to use Ariza or even Lamar Odom to trade with Pat Riley.
To be honest, Phil Jackson saw Dennis Rodman and Scott Pippen in Snoopy more than once.
This is indeed a very smart and characteristic player.
And according to Jeanne Buss, he is also a player with market appeal. He can bring another boost to the Lakers' hot ball market.
"But... there is no place for him in the triangle tactics. And he is not enough to make us pay such a high price." Phil Jackson shook his head: "Don't be blinded by his illusion. In addition to the cards and blocks, he is other All technology is a castle in the air. Believe me, Trevor Ariza can prevent him from crashing."
"However, his progress is very rapid." Kupchak argued for reason.
Phil Jackson still shook his head: "He has made some progress, but he has not solved the most basic ailments. Soon he will hit the rookie wall. If you really get him through a trade, after this game, the price of getting him will be A lot smaller. But I don’t guarantee that after you trade him over, I will give him enough playing time. It’s not in 2005, and I don’t have the patience to wait for the next Andrew to grow up."
Between the lines, Phil Jackson is still very dissatisfied with Doug.
In his opinion, Doug is too short, which is destined to be unable to defend the back singles of the center players. In addition, his flexibility is too poor, which makes him unable to defend outside attackers. In the end, he didn't have the ability to project, and the ability to break through was only spectacle.
Such a player, in Phil Jackson's view, is not enough to become a puzzle for the Lakers championship team.
Phil Jackson is arrogant on this issue.
Kupchak touched his nose and met Kobe Bryant when he went out. The two had talked about Snoopy before. Kobe very much hopes to get Du Ge. He thinks Du Ge is a player with the true Mamba spirit. Last year's defeat in the finals has made him clearly realize that the more critical the time, the more top-level games, the more important the blessing of mental strength.
As of now, he still believes that last year's Lakers did not lose to the veteran Boston Celtics on the lineup. But why did you lose?
The mental attributes are too weak!
Black Mamba has personally seen how Snoopy turned the tide in the ncaa finals.
"Phil thinks Snoopy can't do it." Kupchak told Black Mamba: "He feels that our current team is already perfect and we can win the championship without any additional assistance."
Kobe Bryant said nothing.
He knows how stubborn Phil Jackson is and how good he is at manipulating the forces within the team. Kobe Bryant even now thinks that the OK combination had to be part of the responsibility for the collapse of the Zen Master. He likes to balance the power within the team too much.
Now, the team is just moving forward, and he doesn't want to have any rifts with Zen Master because of this matter.
In addition, Trevor Ariza has indeed become an important supplement to support this season. He is becoming the best 3d player in the Lakers.
So... so be it.
Kobe Bryant turned back and stopped trying to persuade Phil Jackson.
...
"Kory Maggette's words are actually very amateur." Andrew Bynum said condescendingly in an interview with espn reporters: "He may treat all centers as Peterlins or Harrington."
"I know Snoopy's footsteps are fast, and he is good at jumping. I know that his lower body strength is not weaker than that of an inside center. But what about it? Can he defend a jump shot from the second floor? Can he defend the sky hook from the third floor?"
Andrew Bynum's tone seemed calm, and he did not put the 193 cm Snoopy in his eyes.
Of course, almost all basketball media agree with his ideas.
Because... height is indeed an insurmountable gap. Since joining the Lakers in 2005, Andrew Bynum has been carefully nurtured by the Lakers' famous centers, especially Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, although he has not become the next shark. However, in this era when centers are dying, he has become one of the few traditional centers in the league with a full set of back skills. Although occasionally he likes to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, it doesn't hurt. In this year's center ranking table, he has even been ranked third. Second only to Dwight Howard and Yao Huang.
Andrew Bynum's speech quickly spread in the media.
The Southern California media is actually very friendly to Snoopy, even though he is now playing for another city. But people will always remember that in this early summer he won another NCAA championship trophy for Los Angeles.
When Kevin Ding of the "Orange County Chronicle" saw Snoopy again, the business card he handed out was already printed with the title of "Associate Editor".
He was promoted in a series of follow-up reports on Snoopy Du.
In fact, all basketball media across the United States trying to report about Snoopy will quote or reprint the Orange County Chronicle. Because Snoopy is still in close contact with Kevin Ding, he will always give the first-hand news to Kevin Ding, and then the old section of CCTV.
"It's nice to see you again, Kevin." Snoopy gave the old man a strong hug: "Although I don't know the purpose of your beard, it looks good. Very artistic."
"I heard that your company is doing great in ncaa. Lin Weiwei has already won the signing of letters of intent for many prospective lottery shows?" Kevin Ding asked about the 2009 draft as soon as he came up. He is now "Saturday Special Edition" The general manager of, this page is focused on the dynamics of high school players and college players.
"Sorry, I am really helpless in this regard. First of all, ncaa does not allow players to contact the agent in advance. Secondly, I did not intervene in the work of Lin Weiwei and Edward. However, I have heard from them that they hope to be in a heavyweight class recently. A boxer and a Davidson Academy shooter put some effort into it.” Du Ge said to Kevin Ding: “Neither of these two news can be disclosed to the media.”
Kevin Ding nodded. As a friend of Snoopy, he knew how badly it would be to report this incident rashly at this time.
"Let’s talk about life in Miami. How did you live in Miami? Did you adapt to the weather there? Also, how did you get along with your teammates? Did you feel the cruel competition of professional teams? Yes, who do you have the best relationship with?"
Kevin Ding throws out the question of the interview.
Du Ge answered one by one, except for the fighting incidents that shouldn't be said, everything else was basically said. Including Pat Riley giving him an exclusive tactic, including Ampere's training in the forward group and the defender group.
Doug is very smart, he can keep public opinion curious about him within the most appropriate range, and satisfy their curiosity.
I believe that after the publication of this report, the sales of the "Orange County Chronicle" will rise again.
In the end, Kevin Ding asked Duge another question: "The last time you played at Staples Arena was the ncaa semi-final. At that time, you gave Derrick Rose a deadly block and then took away the victory. Ming Ming. Late? Will you give Kobe Bryant a block tomorrow night?"
"If there is a chance, I will never be soft. But I think now the Lakers coaching staff should be seriously discussing how to use to beat me on both ends of the offense and defense, right? I guess they should choose to let Bynum be on the offensive end. Eat me, at the same time, use Trevor to lock me up on the defensive end."
Snoopy smiled.
He appeared very calm.
Although, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
But...the rookie wall is always coming~www.ltnovel.com~ then it is more straightforward, it is always more heroic to crash and die on the defending runner-up!
After finishing the interview with Kevin Ding, Du Ge was about to visit coach Ben Holland and his former teammates, and the phone ringing rang quickly.
After it was connected, Taylor Swift's voice came over.
She was very excited and told Doug: "Hey, Snoopy. I finally got the VIP tickets for the Lakers' front row. For this reason, I even called Paris Hilton. You know I don’t like talking to those Dealing with socialites. But there is no way, only she has the energy to get the VIP tickets that have been sold."
"So, wait for my arrival tomorrow night! I will definitely bring you luck, you will take the step of becoming a superstar in this game!!!"
Taylor Swift's tone was full of optimism.
Doug smiled and thanked her for coming, even though he thought Taylor was a bit idealistic.
