The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1220 The pros and cons of Gen X
Because of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' Xia League match with the Chinese team became a grudge game.
The 17-year-old genius wants to have a real showdown with his teammates in the same position in front of the head coach.
But in fact, he really found the wrong object.
Liu Yuqing is not the kind of player who can bring fun in one-on-one matches.
In fact, the only player in the Chinese team who can really compete with Kobe Bryant is Hu Weidong.
Gong Shuai asked Liu Yuqing to defend against three and Hu Weidong to defend against two
When Kobe kept looking for Liu Yuqing to fight, he inadvertently let Hu Weidong make a breakthrough in himself.
After all, Hu Weidong is also a player who can average double figures in the NBA. In the national team, he has been given a higher tactical status, so he has played a more powerful role.
Unlike Hu Weidong, Liu Yuqing is basically a role player.
He sets up a three-pointer from the outside;
Run through the screen of teammates and then catch the ball and shoot;
Even the occasional ball-handling offense is carried out under the premise of calling the pick-and-roll to play small and big.
He was on a one-on-one basis in the whole game. It was the Lakers who prevented the Chinese team to the point where the tactical turnover could not be opened, and someone had to be forced to take the ball when they broke the game.
In that round, Liu Yuqing played Nash in a dislocation, and directly devoured the Canadian's defense with a back play, and then took a standard rollover jumper to score for the Chinese team.
Liu Yuqing is the coach's favorite player.
Plays reasonably, not selfish, and can make it hard when it needs to be hard.
Louie really doesn't understand why he's been sidelined in Atlanta to the point of being mistaken for a troublesome locker room bomb and parallel trader.
Due to Liu Yuqing's lack of aggressiveness, Kobe gradually turned his attention to Hu Weidong. This arrogant high school student immediately had a matchup with the outside core of the Chinese team that was regarded as a classic by later fans.
In the end, Kobe scored 35 points, and Hu Weidong also scored 30 points.
At the same time, Liu Yuqing scored 25 points quietly.
The Chinese team lost to the Lakers by 12 points.
Although they are strong on the outside, they cannot form a synergy with the inside, and everyone is playing their own ball.
Gong Shuai's management and control method of paying attention to factions and strictly preventing the emergence of small hills in the national team obviously affected the team's chemical reaction.
The players of the Lu College Department and the other local elites of the national team cannot work together.
Even the people from the Luyuan Department have limited understanding of each other.
For example, Kang Chengbiao from the third phase of his trip to the United States and Hu and Liu from the first phase of his trip to the United States did not call.
Although it has the largest number of active NBA players in the world outside the United States, the Chinese team with serious internal friction can play up to 70% of its strength.
Such teams are often difficult to play with the strength to match the results.
After the game, young talented defender Lin Junwu publicly complained that he did not have the ball.
Gong Shuai naturally wants to strictly stop this kind of behavior: "Young players always want the ball, they have a lot of personality, but as a group, we can't just think about ourselves."
Seeing such a national basketball team, Louis feels that the goal of securing eight and four may have to stay at the slogan level again.
This made him inexplicably angry.
It's so frustrating to see such a team that is obviously strong but can't play its full strength for various reasons.
Temporarily unable to change this situation, Louis can only turn his attention to the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly the star of Xia Lian.
Today was his first game as a Lakers player, and the media and fans gathered at the game.
During the game, someone shouted his name all the time.
In contrast to Bryant's explosive popularity, Nash and others were left unattended.
Also as a rookie for the Lakers, fans and the media simply ignored their presence.
On the one hand, this is a good thing.
Without the excessive attention of the media and the excessive expectations of the fans, it can help them play their strengths.
On the other hand, it can also reflect that the public opinion community is not optimistic about the newcomers of the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant still has the gimmicks of No. 1 high school students. Do other things like Nash, Ross, Hua Caitu have something worth mentioning?
A very old white Canadian who can't defend anyone?
A short, blue-collar four with plenty of energy but a serious undersize?
Or is it the pure 5th position who signed up for 2.08 meters and may actually have less than 2 meters of bare feet?
However, as the Xia Lian progressed, the brilliance of the genius point guard on Nash could no longer be blocked.
Speaking of which, Nash was the latest rookie to join the team. He had a lot of things to do, and even started playing games without even having the opportunity to train with his teammates. On the court, Nash played the ball completely by instinct, like a puppy that was released from the nest, scurrying around.
With amazing ball sense, organizational instinct and imagination and creativity, Nash began to conquer the hearts of fans.
Lakers Summer League coach Rick Carlisle complimented Nash in his report to Louis: "Just watch a Steve game to know that he is an extraordinary talent, not the same as Kobe. , Steve is already a full-fledged player, like an evolved version of Mark Price!"
As a result, the Lakers Summer League team began a competition for team leadership.
Kobe was a man who never knew how to back down. Even if he wanted to fight for power with adults five or six years his senior, he didn't back down at all.
Nash's outstanding leadership made Kobe realize that he must learn to dominate the ball. If he can't even compete with Nash, how can he compete with Benjamin Wilson in the future?
Kobe Bryant started asking for the ball, taking the initiative to command his teammates, telling them what to do and what not to do.
Nash never thought of competing with Kobe. Since the opponent wanted the ball, he gave up the ball. With one-handed shooting, he could contribute even without the ball in his hand.
This scene made Louis frown.
He could really see the desire to control everything in Kobe's eyes.
Just like Wu Xiu Bo's classic look back at Wolf Gu in "The Alliance of Counsellors", as long as you look at his eyes, you will know that this child is not in the pool.
In the qualifying battle with the Pistons, Kobe released his offensive firepower and scored a game-high 38 points to lead the team to victory, allowing the Lakers to enter the knockout rounds with the first place in the game.
"As long as I'm on the court, I just want to win," Bryant told the Los Angeles Times. "If the team needs me to be a leader, I'm going to be a leader, no matter the situation. Whenever I see something wrong, I tell my teammates what I think, just like Benjamin always speaks up about teammates who are doing badly, I like to communicate directly."
In the end, he also said something that made Louie laugh: "For me, the role of the core players is to keep teamwork in mind at all times."
teamwork…
These four words have nothing to do with Kobe Bryant, who averaged 22 shots per game during the Fira Summer League.
It doesn't mean that he is very alone. He is the typical high school student's style of play. He is omnipotent when he is high.
Like Garnett, he once dominated high school basketball. People like this skip college and enter the professional arena. They will not be humble because they are playing professional games~www.mtlnovel.com~ They are still the same The conduct of vice "I am invincible in the world".
It's just summer league, and Carlisle won't tell Bryant what true teamwork is.
Xia Lian is a stage to test the level of players.
A player who plays well here may not necessarily be a star, but if he doesn't play well, there will be a question mark on the player's immediate combat power.
Bryant's performance surprised and delighted Louie. He was delighted that this kid was good at fighting, but he was surprised that he was the master of the selfish Generation X.
The strengths and weaknesses of this generation are reflected in extremes in Kobe.
However, the Lakers executives were pleased with Kobe's performance.
The star quality that Jerry Buss and Jerry West desperately wanted to see manifested in Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers fight the Pistons again in the Philaxia League final.
Kevin Garnett came to the scene to say hello to Kobe, and they had the following conversation.
"Man, how are you doing?" (Garnett)
"Man, I can do anything on the court, you should watch my game, this level of play is a piece of cake for me! "
In the final, Nash provided 12 assists and helped Kobe score another 30 points. Benhua Caitu's inside defense was the basis for the Lakers' victory, but the applause and cheers belonged to the MVP of the Fira Summer League - Kobe Bryant.
"I just did what I did in high school, and it wasn't difficult at all," he said confidently and arrogantly.
