Chapter 384 Non-combat reduction

"Wish, please tell me, what is the reason why you chose to change positions?"

Toyota Center, at the Lakers' review meeting, Phil Jackson asked at Wei Xia's defensive mistake in a round.

Players who often come here to have meetings are very familiar with the current situation.

If one day Jackson has nothing to say about Wei Xia's performance, it only means that his performance is really outstanding.

Under normal circumstances, Jackson's praise of Wei Xia only happens in one situation: in front of the media.

Other times, especially in private, he would not have a good comment on Wei Xia.

Hearing his questioning, Wei Xia did not intend to explain nonsense.

What Jackson is referring to is his defense against Hill yesterday, and he looks disappointed.

As mentioned earlier, Hill in this season will be healthy every six years. Healthy, its strength is far inferior to that of the past. No one will regard him as Jordan's successor because he is not young. He has not received stable playing time and training, injuries, surgery, rehabilitation and accidental infections for six consecutive years, causing his strength to retreat again and again. He is no longer the person he used to be.

Fortunately, even if players like him lose all their athletic ability, they can still perform at a high level based on their skills and awareness.

Wei Xia did not go far and met Hill, who was standing by both state and feel.

In the game against the Lakers, Howard dominated the penalty area.

Hill made 8 of 11 shots, hitting Wei Xia to the point of falling.

After the game yesterday, Wei Xia had a premonition that he would be slapped, but it turned out to be true today. It was ridiculous that Jackson also told the media and reporters that "Wish performed very well, I am very satisfied." Oh, he was very satisfied, so he could feel a little...gentle when he questioned him today.

Well, it's not the first time.

Wei Xia had nothing to say about his mistake.

Regarding Jackson's criticism, he has produced corresponding "antibodies".

All criticism should be encouraged. If there is something, it should be corrected. If there is nothing, it should be encouraged. If there is something out of nothing, he will never sit there and be scolded.

He really has nothing to defend about what happened today, indeed, it is his problem.

Therefore, he was obediently like a newborn little puppy? Let your Zen Master lightning and thunder? He only holds an umbrella to cover the rain without saying anything.

The whole team was shocked by his determination.

Afterwards, Sprewell said: "I declare that wish is the best-tempered person in the world? He is so strong without criticism that he can't listen to!"

Wei Xia shook her head modestly: "No?    It's true that I'm not doing well, there's no problem with the coach's lesson?    You should take me as a warning."

Kobe sprinkled salt on his wound and said, "Don't worry? Everyone is safe with you, you are the angel carrying the cross!"

Players who have more than one year experience in the Lakers will never have any objection to the Zen master's crazy criticism of Wei Xia. All veterans know that? A tacit understanding has been formed between Wei Xia and Jackson. One spit? One listens, unless the person who spits is too unreasonable or out of control, the other will be willing to bear it.

This kind of gameplay is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey in China.

Wei Xia has been killed for a year and a half and has been used to it.

The review meeting ended and Jackson held a confrontation.

Because Wei Xia was criticized very badly, he decided to get his face back in the confrontation match.

But Kobe was thinking that he would be frustrated on the training ground.

If you can get your own pleasure by making Kobe sad? It is the best.

Wei Xia will do her best to do this, no matter what others think? He will try every means to make Kobe sad in the confrontation match.

Because they both had the same idea, they both tried too hard on the defensive end? The offense did not perform.

However, the inside line, sparks and lightning all the way.

The inside compositions of the black and white teams are Bynum/Brian Cook and Ryan Hollins/Radmanovich.

Did Jackson have any other ideas when he decided on the roster of the two teams?

Otherwise? Why did he just call the inside line that can be the most united?

Bynum and Cook have been teammates for a year? Although the positions are the same, the playing style is different? Bynum is in the group, Cook is on the outside. Both centers Cook is in the style of space-type inside. Bynum is a traditional low-post strong style.

Hollins and Radmanovic are the same as the inside player in another group. Radmanovic inherited the tradition of soft touch in the European inside player. After coming to the Lakers, he signed the third highest-paid team in the team. He seemed to only know how to shoot. Every time he picked and rolled, he would run to the outside like a wild dog chasing the bones.

Is that what the Lakers expect from him? It is certainly not the case.

When Radmanovic joined the Lakers, Jackson hoped to talk to him, and they did meet and talk about their feelings about the upcoming cooperation, as well as their respective views on the Triangle offense.

Radmanovich's view on the triangular offense is too superficial. Jackson hopes that he can discover the truth through some superficial phenomena. After all, the triangular offense is the philosophy he mentioned. If the newcomer can easily reveal the secrets like Rodman, wouldn't that mean that his philosophy is pretending to be profound?

So he used a method that he personally thought was very "ingenious".

He gave Radmanovich a "most perfect" triangular offensive team in his mind - a video of the last regular season game against the New York Knicks in 1995-96. There was a big background in that game when the invincible Bulls lost to New York with a huge gap of 32 points 11 days ago.

Legend has it that New Yorkers held a three-day party for the victory, and the New York Times columnists climaxed a lot, and Spike Lee got into the game because of overjoyed - various phenomena show how profound the win in the regular season is for them.

The Bulls remembered the crushing defeat that New York brought them. When they met for the last time in the regular season, they almost played the same score, except that the names of the leading and lagging teams were replaced.

The Bulls became the leading team, and the Knicks suffered a crushing defeat.

Moreover, Rodman hasn't played yet.

Although the 96 Bulls without Rodman were not the strongest form, that game has always been one of the best games of the season in Zen Master's mind, and he hopes that Radmanovich can learn useful experience from it.

Before joining the Lakers, Radmanovic was an all-around inside player who could defend, attack, catch rebounds, protect the basket, and support the line. After watching that set, he might be attracted by the heroic posture of Luke Longley and Bill Winnington's iron-blooded jump shots, completely gave up his strengths and became a single-function player who was useless except for jump shots.

His functionalization symbolizes the complete failure of the Lakers' summer recruitment.

In other words, in addition to the draft picks, the Lakers also used the third-place salary in the team to bring back a No. 5 shooter standing at the center position.

No matter what others think, Kobe is very devastated anyway.

Moreover, these insiders seem to have brain problems. They don’t work hard during the game and can perform heroes on the training ground.

Both of them wanted to prove that they were a dominant inside player and played extremely fiercely, which made Kobe excited and was about to have a bloody battle with Wei Xia.

Suddenly, Radmanovic's three-point shot was injured without a confrontation.

Losing Odom, the Lakers' inside line has some problems. Injuring another Radmanovic is equivalent to losing the enhanced version of Brian Cook.

Jackson stopped the confrontation.

Kobe was panicked, and Wei Xia felt a little regretful about Radmanovic's experience.

But soon, Wei Xia and Kobe were relieved from their frustration. Anyway, the Lakers' inside line was already very bad. For some time, they just had to pretend that they had never been a player like Radmanovich.

"You probably haven't had enough fun yet?" Wei Xia grabbed the ball and provoked Kobe, "Come on and continue."

Kobe also needs to find something to distract himself: "If you want to die so much, of course I can help you!"

Wei Xia took the initiative to fight the bullfight, but Kobe was beaten by tyrannical.

During this period, Kobe did not use any fancy tricks. He just made a move, and he made a jump shot from behind.

Back then, Wei Xia had completely figured out his offensive rhythm. Every time he jumped into the air, Wei Xia's block could completely cover his sight. However, he didn't need to see the basket to shoot.

In one-on-one situation, without double-teaming or assisting defense, Kobe only needs to face the pressure of one person.

Even if Wei Xia can prevent him from seeing the basket, his shooting percentage will not be affected in the slightest while relaxing.

He has long been familiar with the position of the basket, after all, he has practiced millions of shots since childhood.

He may not be able to get Vanessa pregnant with his eyes closed, but it is no difficulty to make him shoot with his eyes closed.

Wei Xia was beaten by the opponent's unreasonable jump shot and ended with a crushing defeat.

After preliminary examination by the team doctor, Radmanovich showed a secondary tear of the high ligament.

No matter how small the injury related to ligaments is, it is a big deal.

Once the tear is pulled, you have to deal with it with the most rigorous attitude.

Radmanovic's injury was obtained by the team doctor based on his reaction. He now needs to go to the hospital for examination to get the final result, and it is not ruled out that he overreacted, which leads to a wrong judgment of the team doctor.

If Radmanovic had a quit due to injury, the Lakers' inside line would have become very embarrassing.

Odom's return date has not been completed, and Radmanovic is on the verge of the stint, which means that the only inside players they can use are Bynum, Cook, Hollins... that is, Odom and Dwyane Jones have replaced Hollins who can hardly protect the rebound in front of any opponent.

They will once again be the worst team in the league inside.

Now I can only expect the diagnosis given by the hospital to be not that bad.

Unfortunately, the Lakers were not lucky. The diagnosis from the hospital showed more bluntly that Radmanovic suffered a ligament torn that needed to be absent for at least one month.
Chapter completed!
