Chapter 171: Washington Conference

Welcome to your visit, please remember the address of this site:, mobile phone reading, so as to read the latest chapter of the novel "Ballmaster's Black Technology System" at any time...
One win and one loss in two games made Mike Brown worry about it again.
This is the case with nba competitions, where there is trouble in one stage.
The start of the season is a matter of break-in, rotation, and tactical use.
Now that it has been slowly resolved, the veteran's tacit understanding is getting better and better, and the tactics are gradually determined to focus on the outside.
Rotating, Li Liang sat firmly in the starting lineup before Gasol returned.
The bench mainly uses Jordan Hill, Meeks and Jamison.
Morris and Blake are on the verge of being abandoned, and Ibanks and Duhon occasionally give opportunities.
In the medium term, the most important thing to note is the player status.
Fatigue, injury, long journey, ups and downs, the coach should take into account.
The advantage of a good record at the beginning of the season is to make a good foundation for the mid-term team's trimming.
Brown pays attention to controlling the playing time of Kobe and Nash. Kobe is around 35 minutes and Nash is around 25 minutes.
As for Li Liang, he used it to death, so that he would not be verbose on the bench.
In the two games of playing the Cavaliers and the Knicks, the team's status is clearly at a lower point.
After playing the Thunder, the team's excitement, blood and energy loosened.
After all, the old team doesn't last long. It won't work for a while.
The three-pointer against the Thunder blew up the opponent, but those two games would not work.
After the team arrived in Washington, in the hotel, Mike Brown called all the players to a meeting.
As a group, at a stage, players need to get together to chat and talk about their own ideas.
This can effectively enhance the team's cohesion, improve morale, and warm up the team.
Usually this kind of meeting takes place on a road trip and everyone happens to live together.
The hotel's large conference room, more than a dozen players, coaching staff, twenty or more people, free talk.
However, Mike Brown made a mistake, he should not let Li Liang participate.
This kid took part, did it have to be?
He was sad when he lost to the Knicks in the last game because he wanted to win in Madison Square Garden.
In the end, the operation was wrong and lost, making Li Liang very unhappy.
When I arrived in Washington, hey, Brown, you have the meeting, can I not say a few words?
Good guy, the hair dryer turned on and scolded everyone in the team.
"Joe, you still hang Jordan's name. Look at how many goals the butterman has to throw in a game? How many layups did not make the layup? Who will pass you the ball like you? Please, your training is over Can you practice your finger and wrist strength?"
Li Liang was the first to criticize Jordan Hill, Gasol was absent. It was originally a good opportunity for him to play. The result was very positive, but the details were always maddening.
"Yodi, you're more stable. Bold shooting is a good thing, but you can't shoot blindly. What are you doing with the boss? Why don't you learn from me? Boss can anyone learn?"
This said Meeks, Thunder, and Jazz played confidence in the two battles, and ended up hitting Cavaliers and Knicks.
"And you, Ci Shiping, look at you now, where can you still find the rim? Don’t throw the ball, don’t stop the three-pointer, grab a front-court rebound and we can play a good job. what."
Li Liang will never bully and be hard, even Ci Shiping will still scold.
These three people are the most unstable and easy to pit for the Lakers, but they are also the three most important points.
Jordan Hill is the only reliable substitute inside, you can't count on Sackley.
Meeks is the best candidate for the rotation of guards, Du Hong and Morris, Li Liang's scolding is meaningless.
As for Ci Shiping, his style has always been versatile and was originally a good supplement for the team.
As a result, after the start of the season, it was his worst condition, with various blind shots outside the three-point line and a terrible shooting rate.
At the beginning, Brown also asked Ci Shiping to play with a substitute, but later found that it was not possible, he was a pit.
Let him start, not as good as Li Liang, but Jamison's defense is not good.
The result is tasteless.
Mike Brown listened to it, his heart was comfortable.
These words are actually what he wants to say, but it is easy to offend players.
It doesn't matter what Li Liang said. This person is very magical and speaks straight. Everyone gets used to it after listening too much.
Occasionally, a person who speaks once or twice will offend people, and will be misunderstood to find fault.
But after a long time, everyone discovered that he was like this to everyone, from the boss to the water dispenser manager, what to say.
In the first place, he was absolutely unwilling to act, in the second he never missed a person, and in the third he was absolutely fair and beautiful.
Slowly, everyone will get used to it, just let him say it.
Mike Brown also gave Li Liang a bottle of mineral water.
Li Liang took the water and pointed his finger at Brown: "Can you do more preparations before the game like a normal coach! Has the strategy of protecting Nash and Kobe on the defensive end been worked out!"
Brown wants to slap himself, why are you okay to pass him water?
Brown said: "I made it, isn't you, but now Gasol is hurt..."
Li Liang is speechless. With such a big face, can I cover Kobe and Nash alone?
You are really exalting me, do you want to increase my salary?
Chuck Payson said: "We really should develop a more rigorous defensive strategy to make up for the defensive shortcomings of Steve and Kobe. We can't make a hole with another pick-and-roll."
Kobe heard some comments and said, "I don't need it, I can get it myself."
Li Liang didn't want to scold Kobe. Kobe played well during this time, and the offense carried the team thoroughly.
But he got angry as soon as he heard Kobe speak.
"You save it. How many times have you stood there in a daze? You know standing ribs, standing ribs, standing ribs, standing there and falling baby in the sky? You can't move?"
Because of the decline in physical strength, Bryant particularly likes to stand outside the three seconds zone, that is, ribs, waist position.
This position extends in all directions, is the most common route point for outside breakthroughs, and is also convenient for rebounds. (When Li Liang practices lateral movements and fouls, this is the most common position.)
So in order to save energy, Kobe sometimes stands there and reduces movement.
The result is of course a lot of loopholes on the outside.
For example, when playing the Thunder before, a ball, Westbrook broke through from the perimeter, Kobe Bryant stood a little back in that position.
As a result, he didn't hold Westbrook. He also blocked Howard who came back from behind.
Angrily Howard pushed Kobe behind.
Even if you don’t guard against it, you still block me?
Bryant pursed his lips and said, "I will defend well in the back. I will get another mvp."
Kobe said, the entire meeting room was quiet.
This is not a joke, Kobe made a military order? !
The last time Kobe had this idea, during the first three consecutive championships, he told the Zen master that I wanted to get an mvp.
But at that time, the team's absolute boss was O'Neill, because of various reasons, the relationship between the two messed up.
The f4 failed to win the championship and fell apart. The Lakers experienced many ups and downs afterwards.
Ten years later, the idea came out of Bryant's mind.
He is a man who refuses to accept defeat. In 2008, he got the only mvp in his career so far, but unfortunately did not win the championship.
Originally he was already bearish on mvp, he just wanted the championship.
But the recent record of the team, his own performance, and Li Liang's words finally inspired him.
He is still at his peak, he can still get an mvp.
As soon as Li Liang heard it, cold sweats came down.
When it's over, what should I do?
Scolded Kobe Bryant, the ultimate body of Kobe.
If he takes mvp with one mind, his personal performance and teamwork will sometimes conflict.
This is no longer the Lakers in 2008, Nash is also mvp, and Howard also wants to take mvp.
How are you doing
Kobe seemed to see everyone's doubts. He smiled and tried to resolve the awkward atmosphere, but it didn't work.
He continued: "I just have this idea, but I will definitely not overtake my data and performance above the team. I said I want to take mvp, just to show that I will go all out in the next game. Regardless of offense or defense, I will do my best."
Kobe said so, he was fully prepared.
He is 34 years old, not 24 years old. He is mature and has some numbers.
First of all, he felt his condition was very good, the best in the past three years.
Second, recently, Brown intends to control his playing time, Bryant has no objections.
He hopes to keep the time below 35 minutes, about 32 minutes later.
This way he can go all out in a shorter playing time.
These are all carefully thought out by him, no longer the impulse when he was young.
Mike Brown didn't expect to have a temporary meeting, so many things came out.
Li Liang also closed his mouth and did not want to scold anymore.
Criticism should be adequate, and encouragement after criticism is even more important.
This task was given to Kobe.
Kobe is not the kind of person who likes to give a speech, but he rarely expressed his opinion today, assuring his teammates that from now on, he will lead by example, starting from the defense, leading the team like an mvp.
With warm applause, the meeting ended successfully, and the meeting further established and consolidated the leadership position of the team center with Kobe as the core.
In the conference, the rookie spoke positively on behalf of Li Liang, painful and detrimental, and its content was thought-provoking and thought-provoking.
The team's core Kobe Bryant conducted a profound review and self-criticism, UU reading www.uukannshu.com decided to re-enter the road, stride from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, toward the championship.
The conference was a complete success. The next day, the team was full of enthusiasm and went to the mci center in Washington, DC to face the crowd of more than 20,000 fans in the capital, and dedicated to the Wizards team to provide a wonderful U.S. basketball game.
119:85... The Wizards champion Wall was absent due to injury, and Li Liang hugged him at the end of the game and was touched twice.
Two days later, Philadelphia, the hometown of the Lakers' transfer to the leader, was warmly welcomed by fellow Philadelphia folks.
Kobe was more timid near hometown, giving 35 points to fellow countrymen in a single game.
Ci Shiping changed his old lazy style, 18 points and 17 rebounds, worthy of his world peace.
121:98, is another exciting basketball feast.
At this point, the Lakers' Eastern Conference visit was successfully concluded. In response to the December snow storm, we returned to Los Angeles by plane and were ready to warmly welcome the Charlotte Bobcats team and their boss, Comrade Jordan Qiao.
