: 42. The essence of basketball

　　 At first, Liu Ren didn't understand what the coaching staff discussed.
He knows that tactics can allow players to run out of the open spaces, but he doesn’t know how to do it. He often needs to do a lot of off-the-ball picks and rolls in tactics. There are many picks and rolls that have nothing to do with the person who receives the ball, but they still have To do it, he knows that this can help the team to give the ball to the person who is going to give it, but he really doesn't know what it is for many pick-and-rolls.
　　 Obviously, Gasol and Kobe have played for so many years, and they have a good understanding of tactics. They have learned the things that Liu Ren doesn't understand. The two men raised questions and suggestions on the tactical route from time to time, which made Liu Ren look enthusiastic.
　　 This is the necessary ability for superstars, right? Mobilize teammates' running positions on the field to help yourself or help teammates get shot opportunities.
　　 Liu Ren watched them quietly discussing, trying hard to learn these things, now I don’t understand, I will learn someday, will I understand?
Diligence can make up for weakness. Perhaps diligence cannot change the upper limit of talent. Liu Ren has already determined this in his life. Genius is 99% of sweat plus 1% of talent, but if you don’t have 1% of talent, even if you have 100 Two hundred percent of sweat is useless.
　　 However, if you are not diligent, even if you have talent, you should not work. If you don't have talent, you should be diligent to achieve or exceed the original talent.
　　Perhaps he doesn't have the talent to be a coach, but he must learn to understand the tactical roadmap, understand the impact of each player's tactics and the purpose of doing so, Liu Ren believes he can learn.
　　 "Liu, what do you think is the nature of basketball?" Kobe suddenly asked Liu Ren.
　　 "The essence of basketball?" Liu Ren was taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds of thinking, said weakly, "Put the ball into the basket?"
　　 Okay, this is Liu Ren's idea on the field of competition. If you throw the ball into the opponent's basket, whoever scores more wins. It is the technology and the honors that extend.
　　 "Yes, just throw the ball into the basket." Kobe seemed very satisfied with Liu Ren's answer.
After 　　, Kobe did not continue to talk to Liu Ren, but went with Gasol to discuss with the coaching staff the tactical roadmap that Liu Ren could not understand.
　　 Until the end of the meeting, Liu Ren was still in the cloud, half of it was because he basically didn't understand it, and the point of understanding was the purpose of tactics to give him a chance to score.
　　 Liu Ren is very satisfied with this. The team has regarded him as the team's first offensive point.
　　 The other half is that Liu Ren didn't understand what Kobe meant when he asked him. Could it be that the discussion with D'Antoni was boring and asked casually?
　　 I don't know what happened. Liu Ren felt that Kobe was not very satisfied with D'Antoni, and he couldn't see that Kobe was unhappy on the surface, but as a Comet, he just felt that Kobe was a little dissatisfied.
　　 Similarly, Liu Ren also felt a little uncomfortable seeing Gasol’s expression unchanged.
　　 After the meeting, the coaches went to do their own thing, D'Antoni went to Kupchak, and Liu Ren went to the indoor court with Kobe and Gasol.
　　 "Liu, the essence of basketball you just said is to shoot the ball into the basket. That's right." Kobe said suddenly, "but it's only half."
　　 "Half?"
　　 "Yes, it's only half." Kobe paused and continued, "The other side is to prevent the opponent from throwing the ball into the basket! This is the finished basketball!"
　　 "Only half is not good, but now the team's tactics only have the offensive half, and the other half has been abandoned. As you saw just now, we did not discuss defensive tactics in the meeting." Gasol accepted.
　　 Liu Ren recalled and found that from the beginning of the training camp to the present, there has never been a defensive training!
　　 The Lakers preseason and ten games in the regular season have never been defensively arranged! Every timeout is an offensive arrangement, and I have never heard such words as defending opponents!
The Lakers’ defense above average is all due to the team’s good lineup. They are young and aggressive players. They play well offensively and defensively, including Nick Young. He will be excited about defense when he opens his mind. Follow the opponent's footsteps.
　　 Coupled with the interference of Gasol's long inside arm on the opponent's offense, Liu Ren and Whiteside blocked the penalty area, and the outside defense was all hard work, without any assistive defense tactics, all on the teammates themselves.
　　 Thinking of Liu Ren's face full of worries, can such a lame team system do much?
　　 D'Antoni’s offense is good. For most teams in the league, his offensive system is fairly advanced, but there are also more advanced ones like Popovich’s Spurs! Not to mention Cole afterwards!
　　 A team without defense, even if the talent is as strong as the Suns in the three seasons of 04-07, they still can’t do much in the playoffs, let alone their group of people?
Liu Ren is not presumptuous, but he should be self-knowledge. Their strength may be in the middle of the league. The victory over the Clippers and the Warriors in the two playoff teams can prove this very well. They may play a game with a top team. There is hope of winning, but think about playing a series with the Spurs~EbookFREE.me~ He is a little worried that he will lose confidence in basketball.
　　 You need to be hard to hit the iron! Liu Ren feels that he still has a lot of shortcomings. The offensive methods are relatively simple. Three-pointers and strong insiders will be terrible when facing a team like the Spurs.
　　 If Kobe has the ability to fire at any time from the distance in his hand...
　　 But this old man is now seriously injured. Even if his body is fully restored after returning, it is estimated that he is only 80% strong before the injury.
　　 Thinking of this Liu Ren looked at Kobe with resentment.
Kobe was seen feeling uncomfortable, thinking that Liu Ren was complaining why he didn't tell D'Antoni about this, so he said: "Now Mike is our head coach, what we have to do is to fight him as much as possible. He has had a successful experience in the game, which proved that this style of play will be effective. Now we have to win, and we lost too much last year. As for the playoffs to defend... well, although my goal is still Fight for the championship, but I also know that our current lineup is difficult to do. We don’t have more choices, and there are not many coaches better than Mike. We have no chance to get them for the time being. Instead of complaining, you need to do It’s about playing hard, training hard."
　　 Instead of complaining, it is better to play hard!
　　 Liu Ren likes this sentence very much. Think about it this way. Players interfere with the team's choice of coach?
　　 It seems that those who interfere in the selection of the head coach in NBA history have been scolded bloody, even if the player's judgment is proved to be correct, the head coach is indeed not good, and he is still scolded badly.
Magic Johnson, James, two of the top ten superstars in history, have been hacked to interfere with the head coach candidates, not to mention his Liu Ren~EbookFREE.me~ Welcome to read, the latest and fastest , The hottest serial works are all at ~EbookFREE.me~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
