Chapter 169 Old Shark's First Show (5.2K First Update)
In the office of the training hall, "Charlotte Observer", "Sports Illustrated", "Basketball Times"...
Several newspapers and magazines sat in rows on the desk, and the headlines pierced Sam Vincent's eyes.
"Charlotte forms the AGSS combination and sprints to the second half!"
"The answer teamed up with the sharks, and a new force in the east was born."
"After the Sharks joined, the Bobcats have no shortcomings."
"..."
Sam Vincent scratched his head. At this moment, he was facing a happy trouble.
Lao Ai, who is still the top singles scorer in the league, still has fuel in the fuel tank, and is at least the top five center Shark in the league. In the Mesozoic generation, he can be said to be the top tool man Hua Laosan. In the younger generation, the Bobcats player Sheldon Lee who has the most leadership, big heart, and is most valued by Boss Joe...
This is the core lineup of the Bobcats.
When Lao Ai came, he also worried about how to get along with Lao Ai's thorns, how to adjust tactics, and how to maximize the effect of his old age answers.
Later, he found that worrying and so on are superfluous, and Lao Ai is suitable for this bobcat!
He didn't do anything, just told Lao Ai: Go on the court and use your singles to help the team score.
Then occasionally remind two sentences: pass the ball!
The Bobcats' offense is alive and the results are going up.
It's different this time, the Sharks are the center and need tactical support.
Moreover, this shark is not ordinary, it is an old shark, and many of the peak shark's ultimate moves have almost been lost, and now there is only one left to turn and hook at the basket.
Facing the tactical board, Sam Vincent pondered for a long time and came up with two sets of singles tactics.
"Low-post singles, and the waist position, you can have a pass and cut cooperation."
Sam Vincent's idea is still very good. The low-post plan is one of the few old Sharks' offensive styles that can be combined with the turn around and quick hook at the basket.
The combination of passing and cutting at the waist is right for Li Ke and Lao Ai. Li Ke who cuts without the ball, Lao Ai who breaks through with the ball, and Lao Sha who supports the pick-and-roll at the waist are connected together.
Coupled with eating cakes in the close range, the old shark definitely has a lot of opportunities.
The remaining question is whether Lao Sha is willing to pick and roll for Li Ke and Lao Ai.
Speaking of which, the center forwards who ruled the penalty area in the two generations of Lao Mei are the kind who are unwilling to do dirty work.
The Sharks occasionally blocked Kobe and Wade. Howard was simply too high-spirited. Even Kobe and Harden couldn't convince him to pull out the pick-and-roll to cover.
The question of the pick-and-roll was a test for Sam Vincent, but Sam Vincent thought about it for a while, and then called Boss Joe's phone in a bachelor's way.
……
In the training hall of the apartment, Li Ke was practicing the God's back kick. The D-level back kick he copied on the eve of the Christmas war had been practiced for two months but there was no sign of any improvement.
Li Ke understands that this is because the skill level of the god is too high, and the back attack of the god is not an ordinary back attack.
Even if there is only a D-level now, it can already support Li Ke to back up some single-defense opponents every day.
It may be enough for Li Ke at this stage to practice at C-level and B-level.
But the problem is, it doesn't go up!
"The level is still too high. What does this mean? It means that the skills are copied in the early stage. We still need to find some simple star players. For example, Jiba is very good, and Curry may not be bad..."
Leaning on Tim Graver, Li Ke turned over and threw one, with a bang.
Boss Joe's comments did not come from his ears.
Yes, that's right, Boss Joe is there too.
It's just that when Li Ke turned over and threw the ball, Boss Qiao answered the phone.
After Li Ke shot three or two back-up jumpers one after another, Boss Qiao also came back, commenting in one sentence:
"The fake move of turning over is too inconspicuous. The opponent won't give you too much space. At this time, you must add a step back. This is training. Your movements should be slower, and the details are in place..."
Li Ke waved an OK gesture, turned his back, and prepared to do another one.
Boss Qiao didn't stop talking, and directly mentioned the call he just received:
"Sam called me just now. He prepared two sets of conventional tactics for Shaq, one set to open the low singles, and the other set the waist to do wall pick-and-roll screen support..."
"Wait, Shaq has support?"
Li Ke also stopped. He didn't think about why Old Joe wanted to mention the team's tactics to him. The question in his mind was, would a traditional big center like the Sharks still support him?
Boss Joe nodded, "Of course he has support. Phil's triangle offense needs a big man to support the attack."
Li Ke slapped his forehead, and he forgot about it.
"The question now is, is Shaq willing to be the wall for you and Allen's pick-and-roll."
Li Ke rolled his eyes: "The question should be whether Shaq is willing to do the dirty work of passing and cutting for Sam, right?"
Boss Joe showed a helpless smile. At this time, he realized belatedly that he had chosen the wrong coach at the beginning. He should not have chosen Sam Vincent, who was a rookie and couldn't be more rookie.
With the arrival of the answer and the sharks, this Bobcats team gradually became star-studded. Sam Vincent, a rookie coach, really couldn't hold back the scene.
But a coaching change?
Boss Joe shook his head secretly. Even if he wanted to change, he shouldn't do it at the end of the regular season. Sam Vincent is doing well, so why change?For what reason?
If you want to change, you have to wait until the end of this season. The best reason for changing coaches is that the playoffs are not up to expectations.
After ruling out the idea of coaching change, Boss Qiao threw the question to Li Ke: "Tell me what you think?"
"I don't have any ideas. Take one step at a time. You have to try it first. If you don't try it, you can conclude that Shaq doesn't want to pass the pick-and-roll. That's wrong!"
Li Ke pointed out the mistakes of Boss Joe and Sam Vincent, "When Shaq really shows his unwillingness to be a wall for me and Allen in the pick-and-roll, then it's time for you to act, Boss."
"I?"
"That's right, you, Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, at that time, it's up to you to show up and tell Shaq how to play basketball in the twilight of his career, so as not to ruin his reputation."
Seeing Boss Qiao nodding hesitantly, Li Ke added: "For Allen, the reason is the same, but in a different way."
Stab players are difficult to deal with, but if the right medicine is given, then the problem is not a big deal.
Lao Ai is a thorn in the sidelines, spends money like water, has a quick temper, and has caused a lot of troubles, but on the court, his only requirement is: to start.
Of course, the current Lao Ai, in addition to starting, he also needs a core position.
So, now, Bobcats satisfied Lao Ai, and Lao Ai continued to fight honestly.
Old Shark is different again. Old Shark has a high EQ and won't make eye contact with others outside the court. The problem is inside the court.
The field here includes the training field and the competition field. In the training field, the old shark is lazy and working hard, but this is not a big problem.
He is 36. You can't expect him to train hard and develop new things. If he can maintain his state, he will meet the requirements of the Bobcats.
Boss Joe was a little unconfident. This time without Li Ke, Tim Graver directly reminded him: "Michael, think about how you dealt with Dennis Rodman back then!"
Old Joe immediately became confident. That's right, back then he even surrendered Rodman the flower worm, so what is a shark with less thorny attributes?
Li Ke couldn't help adding another sentence, correcting Graver's mistake: "Wrong, Tim, the boss can't deal with Shaq and Allen the way he dealt with Dennis Rodman. He was a player at that time, but he is now a management team. He has to think about how Phil Jackson deals with such thorny players."
How did Jackson deal with Rodman and the Sharks?
For Rodman, Zen Master's weapon is respect. He will not interfere with Rodman's off-court chores. Even on the court, Zen Master always encourages Rodman and rarely reprimands him.
For sharks, Zen Master’s weapon is tolerance. He tolerates sharks being late or even absent from training, and tolerates sharks finding a reason to truce from time to time. For sharks, his request is that you can relax at ordinary times, but when it comes to critical moments, you have to stand up.
Of course, the shark is not that thorny, and seeing that he is in the heat, training and so on, he is also honest, because Pat Riley is not used to him.
This is why Li Ke thinks that Boss Qiao should come forward.
Whether it is Sam Vincent or himself, there are not enough coffee positions to overwhelm Lao Ai and Lao Sha.
But Shanmao has Boss Joe, and Boss Joe’s coffee position, he is said to be the first, and no one dares to say that he is the second...
……
On the second day at the Lynx training hall, Li Ke arrived 10 minutes earlier as usual.
There are already some teammates sitting in the locker room, and they greet each other very familiarly.
"Hey, Gerald, it's your earliest again today."
"Jared, look at your dark circles, did you go to FK to death again last night?"
"How about it, Dai Quinn, are you still used to it?"
Finally, there was the newcomer Dai Quinn Cook. He stretched out his fist and touched Li Ke: "It's okay, the distance between Charlotte and Miami is not very far."
"I'm talking about your new teammates. It's not the same as the ones you had in Miami, right?"
"Actually, almost..."
Dai Quinn Cook scratched his head in embarrassment. Lao Du came over at this time and put his arm around Dai Quinn Cook's shoulder: "No, we are absolutely different from the Heat. You just came here, and you will understand soon."
Old Du smiled obscenely, and Li Ke gave him a hammer: "Don't lead Dai Kuien down, he's just a rookie."
"Speak as if no one is a rookie!"
"..."
Sam Vincent pointed it out. Standing in the middle of the locker room, he scanned around.
"Why are there only 12?"
In the first second, he was sure that there was no that huge guy in the locker room: "Why hasn't Shaq come yet?"
No one gave him an answer, but Daequan Cook hesitated and wanted to say: Shaq is in Miami, and he is also the master who is often late.
Then a second later, Sam Vincent spotted another latecomer: "Where's Smush? Why didn't he show up?"
Then he directed the little Gouba coach behind him: "Call, Gouba, others go to the court, we should start training."
On the first day of training, Old Shark was late, and about half an hour later, he opened the door and entered without haste.
Then came Sam Vincent's questioning: "Shaq, you're half an hour late, and I need an explanation."
Old Shark spread his hands out in a shabby manner: "I will never explain to anyone that I am late for training."
Then, Sam Vincent's gaze became deep. Instead of continuing to question, he told Old Shark without a doubt: "You are half an hour late. According to Bobcat's rules, you have to jog around this field at a constant speed for half an hour."
Old Shark also simply nodded, "Okay!"
Then, shaking the fat all over his body, he ran around the court.
Sam Vincent's voice continued to fill the training hall: "Goba, ask Smush Parker why he hasn't arrived yet!"
He was very angry, but he also had reason to get angry. He thought that among the four players from Miami, only the sharks would be the thorns. As a result, a small Smush Parker also wanted to challenge his authority.
After waiting for more than an hour, Smush Parker arrived smelling of alcohol, and Sam Vincent made a decision.
"Smush, you are more than an hour late, round up to two hours, and in the morning, your training is to run in circles for two hours, at a constant speed, no rest allowed..."
Then, Sam Vincent turned around: "In addition, I declare that from now on, anyone who is late for training will be suspended for one game by the team, starting with Shaq and Smush!"
On the training ground, Sharks had fun after jogging and joining free training.
Banned for being late for practice?That would be great!
Li Ke's expression is also very strange, even a little constipated, Sam, Sam, use your brain!
Suspended for being late for training, doesn't this Shark have a reason to play selectively?
Sam Vincent really didn't use his brain this time, he didn't realize it, and he definitely and definitely finalized this penalty rule.
……
Sharks joined the Bobcats in the first game, an away game against the Wizards, and he did not play.
When asked by reporters, Sam Vincent responded: "He still needs to adjust."
The Sharks, who were happy to adjust, didn't even go to Washington. They sat at home and watched the game that was supposed to be his Bobcats debut.
Without the Sharks, the Bobcats would have to use Steven Hunter as their starting center.
Even so, relying on Li Ke to lock Arenas, Lao Ai scored 33 points, and the Bobcats still won the game.
Lao Ai, who scored 33 points, was very excited. He felt that his position as the leader of the team was unshakable in this battle.
Li Ke told Lao Ai: "Don't fight the enemy in that void, Shaq has no interest in the position of the boss for a long time..."
Lao Ai still didn't believe it, so what did he say: Didn't he leave the Lakers because of the conflict with Kobe because of the position of the boss?
As a result, back in Charlotte, on the first training day after the away game, the old shark was late again...
Old Ai believed in Li Ke, with this attitude, he still fights for the boss?The third child is not his turn!
Hua Lao Er and Li Lao San returned to their thrones, and both of them were very happy.
The fourth shark is also very happy, he has pushed Sam Vincent to a corner, suspended, continue, who is afraid of who.
Sam Vincent finally reacted.
Looking at the old shark who was late for more than half an hour but still very bachelor, he announced: "Round up two hours late, jogging in circles for four hours..."
Old Shark:? ? ?
"Don't ask so many question marks, this is your second time being late, so the penalty will be doubled!"
Old Shark or: ? ? ?
The reason for his question mark is: Why is it rounded up to two hours? ? ?
Even so, the old shark jogged obediently.
After running for half an hour, I realized: "No, what about the suspension?"
ban?It's dead!
Even if Sam Vincent wants to bite the bullet and suspend the old shark, it will be very difficult, because the Bobcats will face the Celtics and the Lakers in the next two games.
Especially in the game against the Lakers, the Sharks played against the former owner, and it was still the Bobcats' home game.
Boss Joe said he had to see the sharks on the court at the Time Warner Center.
Although there was still a game of Celtics in the middle, Kobe's text message had already reached Li Ke's text message box——
"Tell that fat Shaq guy that I'm going to dunk him on the top of his head next time!"
Then a moment later, the second line—
"Tell Allen, next game, I will defend him personally!"
After a while, it was the third article——
"And you, Sheldon, Luke and Derek are not worth your defense. On the defensive end, your opponent can only be me!"
Li Ke replied: "I will tell Alan, Shaq, you should tell him in person, and why are all your text messages so short?"
……
On the 24th, the Bobcats played against the Celtics at home, and the old shark made his Bobcats debut.
TNT TV station temporarily adjusted the broadcast plan, and included this game and the next game in the ranks of the national live broadcast.
Then, before this game, they played a spliced picture.
From left to right, the baby shark wearing a dark blue Magic jersey, the peak shark wearing a purple and gold Lakers jersey, the peak tail shark wearing a red Heat jersey, and the old shark wearing a shit yellow Bobcats jersey...
"This is the fourth team that Shaq has played for in his career. Here, he ushered in a new partner - Allen Iverson, Sheldon Lee and Gerald Wallace. No one knows what kind of sparks this Bobcats combined with various elements can create. This game and the next game may give us a preliminary answer."
In this game, the opponent of the Bobcats is the first in the league.
In the next game, the Bobcats' opponent is No. [-] in the West.
Although both are regular seasons, the gold content of these two games is definitely high enough, and it is indeed a test for the Bobcats.
The game started quickly, and the old shark quickly caught the ball under the basket under the deliberate actions of the Bobcats generals, turned around and dunked.
It's off to a great start for Old Shark.
But for the Bobcats, this battle with the Celtics ended in a loss.
Without the beeping of the group of racial knights in North Shore Garden, Li Ke played very ordinary. Under the defense of Tony Allen, he made a 14-of-5 shooting performance and only scored 14 points.
Lao Ai was very stable. He made 22 of 10 shots and scored a team-high 25 points. He also had 7 assists. He absolutely refused to give up the boss position.
老鲨的山猫首秀虽然以暴扣开始，但他总共只出手了11次，打进去6个，得到14分11个篮板2个助攻2个盖帽。
华老二的表现也不怎么争气，17投只有7中，得到16分9个篮板4个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽。
Very versatile, worthy of being the strongest tool man.
But in the face of Lukai's overall reinforced concrete defense, his offensive performance also lagged behind.
Without Li Ke, who broke out under the bonus of the "anger" trait, the Bobcats lost to the more holistic Celtics.
Then, they will welcome the Zijin Legion from afar...
