The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1220 The strengths and weaknesses of Generation X
Latest URL: Because of Kobe, the Summer League game between the Lakers and the Chinese team became a grudge.
The 17-year-old young talent wants to have a real duel with his teammates in the same position in front of the head coach.
But in fact, he really found the wrong person.
Liu Yuqing is not the kind of player who can bring fun in one-on-one games.
In fact, the player in the Chinese team who can really compete with Kobe in terms of competitive strength is Hu Weidong.
Gong Shuai asked Liu Yuqing to defend the second and defend the third, and Hu Weidong to defend the third and the second
When Kobe kept fighting against Liu Yuqing, he inadvertently allowed Hu Weidong to make a breakthrough in himself.
Anyway, Hu Weidong is also a player who can average double figures in the NBA. In the national team, he was given a higher tactical status, so he exerted a stronger strength.
Unlike Hu Weidong, Liu Yuqing is basically a role player.
He made three-pointers on the perimeter;
Run through teammates' screens and then catch and shoot;
Even the occasional offense with the ball is carried out under the premise of calling the pick-and-roll for small plays.
He was quasi-one-on-one in the whole game, and it was the Lakers who defended the Chinese team to the point where they couldn't turn around their tactics, and they were forced to take the ball when someone had to break the game.
In that round, Liu Yuqing hit Nash in a misplaced position, directly devoured the Canadian's defense with a back hit, and then made a standard turnaround jumper to score for the Chinese team.
Liu Yuqing is the kind of player that coaches like most.
He plays reasonably, is not selfish, and can use his strength even when he needs it.
Louie wondered why he was so sidelined in Atlanta that people mistakenly thought he was a troublesome locker room bomb and parallel importer.
Due to Liu Yuqing's lack of aggression, Kobe gradually turned his attention to Hu Weidong. This arrogant high school student immediately had a match with the Chinese team's outside core that will be regarded as a classic by future generations of fans.
In the end, Kobe scored 35 points, and Hu Weidong also scored 30 points.
At the same time, Liu Yuqing quietly scored 25 points.
The Chinese team lost to the Lakers by 12 points.
Although their outside line is very strong, they cannot cooperate with the inside line. Everyone is playing their own ball.
Gong Shuai's style of management and control, which pays attention to factions and strictly prevents the national team from appearing on the hills, has obviously affected the team's chemical reaction.
The players from the Lu department cannot cooperate with the other local elites of the national team.
Even people from the Lu Academy have limited understanding of each other.
For example, Kang Chengbiao from the third period in the United States and Hu and Liu from the first period in the United States did not call.
Although it has the most active NBA players in the world outside of the United States, the Chinese team, which has serious internal friction, has played at most 70% of its strength.
It is often difficult for such a team to achieve results that match their strength.
After the game, the 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 great personalities, but we as a group cannot only think about ourselves."
Seeing such a national basketball team, Louis felt that the goal of keeping eight and four might have to stay at the slogan level again.
This made him inexplicably angry.
It's really uncomfortable to see this kind of team that is obviously very strong but can't play its full strength be restricted for various reasons.
Louis, unable to change the situation for the time being, can only turn his attention to the Lakers.
Kobe is undoubtedly the star of the Summer League.
Today is his first game as a Lakers player, and the media and fans gathered at the game site.
During the game, there were people chanting his name all the time.
In contrast to Kobe's popularity, Nash and others are uninterested.
Also as the rookies of the Lakers, fans and the media simply ignored their existence.
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 display their strength.
On the other hand, it can also reflect that the public opinion circles are not optimistic about the newcomers of the Lakers.
Kobe at least has the gimmick of the number one high school student. Do other players like Nash, Rose, and Hua Caitu have something special worth mentioning?
A very old white Canadian who can't guard anyone?
A short, blue-collar 4 with plenty of power but a serious lack of size?
Or is it the pure No. 5 who signed up for 2.08 meters and may actually be less than 2 meters barefoot?
However, with the progress of the Summer League, the light of the genius point guard on Nash gradually could not be blocked.
Speaking of which, Nash was the latest rookie to join the team. He had too little time to do many things, and he didn't even have the opportunity to train with his teammates before starting to play. On the court, Nash played completely by instinct, like a little puppy that was released from its nest, running around.
With his amazing sense of the ball, organizational instinct, imagination and creativity, Nash began to conquer the hearts of fans.
Lakers Summer United coach Rick Carlisle praised Nash in his report to Louie: "Just watch one of Steve's games and you will know that he is an extraordinary talent, unlike Kobe. , Steve is already a mature player, like an evolved version of Mark Price!"
As a result, a competition for team leadership began within the Lakers Summer League team.
Kobe is a person who never knows how to back down. Even if he wants to fight for power with an adult who is five or six years older than himself, he has not backed down in the slightest.
Nash's outstanding leadership made Kobe realize that he must learn to control the ball. If he can't even compete with Nash, how will he compete with Benjamin Wilson in the future?
Kobe started to get the ball, took the initiative to direct his teammates, and told 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 can contribute even without the ball in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Louis frowned.
He could really see the desire to control everything in Kobe's eyes.
Just like Wu Xiubo's classic looking back at Lang Gu in "Military Division", just look at his eyes, and you can know that this son is not something in the pool.
In the qualifying match against the Pistons, Kobe released his offensive firepower, scored a game-high 38 points and led the team to victory, allowing the Lakers to enter the knockout round with the No. 1 ranking 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 what the situation is. As long as I see something that is not right, I will tell my teammates what I think, just like Benjamin is always outspoken with teammates who are playing badly, I like straight communication."
In the end, he also said something that made Louie laugh: "For me, the responsibility of the core players is to always keep the teamwork in mind."
teamwork…
These four words have nothing to do with Kobe, who averaged 22 shots per game during the Phila Summer League.
It doesn't mean that he is very independent, he is a typical high school student's style of play. He is omnipotent when he is playing high, and he can get what he wants.
He, like Garnett, has dominated high school basketball. People like this skip college and go professional. They don't feel humble just because they play professional games.
They still have the behavior of "I am invincible in the world".
It's just summer league, and Carlisle isn't going to tell Bryant what true teamwork is.
Summer League is a stage to test the level of players.
Players who play well here may not necessarily be stars, but if they don't play well, it will put a question mark on the player's immediate combat ability.
Kobe's performance made Louis both surprised and delighted. The happy one was that this kid had a good fighting ability, but the surprised one was that this guy was simply a master of the selfish Generation X.
The strengths and weaknesses of this generation are reflected in Kobe's extremes.
However, the Lakers executives are pleased with Bryant's performance.
The star quality that Jerry Buss and Jerry West desperately wanted to see was manifested in Kobe.
The Lakers will play against the Pistons again in the finals of the Ferraxia League.
Kevin Garnett came to the scene and said hello to Kobe ~www.mtlnovel.com~ They had the following conversation.
"How's it going, dude?" (Garnett)
"Man, I can do anything on the court, you should watch my game, this level of competition is a piece of cake for me! "
In the final, Nash sent 12 assists and helped Kobe score another 30 points. Ben Huacai's interior defense was the basis for the Lakers' victory, but the applause and cheers belonged to the MVP of the Phila Summer League - Kobe Bryant.
He said confidently and arrogantly, "I just did what I did in high school, and it wasn't difficult at all."
