Chapter 206 213: Shocking news
The Lakers can be described as smooth sailing on the summer league battlefield. With Leo Bailey, Caron Butler, Thabo Sefolosha, Kwame Brown, and Luke Walton as the core lineup, the Lakers are in the The battlefield of summer league is invincible.The strength of the Lakers was expected by everyone, but one person's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
Leo Bailey, an undrafted freshman from UCLA, averaged 13.6 points, 7.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.3 rebounds per game in the summer league.
The media compared Leo Bailey's data with the three major point guards in this year's draft and found that he can overwhelm Felton, but he is not weaker than Chris Paul and Deron Williams.This is because the rest of the Lakers' players are particularly strong. If Leo Bailey's status in Los Angeles can be the same as Chris Paul's status in New Orleans and Deron Williams' status in Utah, will his statistics be better? more scary?In theory, it should be possible.
The media are all talking about why no one found out that UCLA still has such a strong point guard before the draft. This person seems to have never existed in this world before joining the Lakers.In the past two weeks, the Lakers have played against New Orleans, Utah and Charlotte.Perhaps Jerry Sloan wanted to test the strength of Deron Williams. Utah's Rocky Mountain League invited Charlotte and New Orleans. As for the Lakers, Sloan wanted to use the Lakers to test the overall strength of his team. But I didn't expect the Lakers to have a point guard at the same level as Deron Williams.
In the game against these three strong point guards, Leo Bailey's strengths and weaknesses were fully displayed.For Felton, a point guard who purely controls the rhythm, Leo Bailey has the upper hand. Although he can't predict Felton's pass, he can't prevent Felton's offense.Then there was the game against the Hornets. Leo Bailey did not lose the wind when he competed with Paul for speed. Paul just took advantage of his strength every time he attacked.Finally, Deron, Leo Bailey's shortcomings are fully exposed.
Those who are faster than me are not fatter than me, and those who are fatter than me are not faster than me.Deron Williams is such a bully, even though Leo is faster than him, he can use his strength to easily finish the offense every time.And in terms of physical strength, Leo was much worse than Deron. Originally, he consumed more than Deron, and his physical strength was worse, so he was soon overwhelmed by Deron.In that game, the Lakers relied on Kwame Brown's advantage in the interior to win.
Although the summer league game has been played a lot, for Leo Bailey, these three games are the most telling.Insufficient strength and poor physical strength are his Achilles heel.In other words, he will be at a complete disadvantage when he encounters point guards like Deron Williams and Chauncey Billups in the future.But don't forget that the point guard is only the shortest shortcoming of the Lakers, and the strength of other positions cannot be forgotten.
In addition to Leo Bailey, another rookie of the Lakers, Thapo Sefolosha, also performed perfectly. After receiving the teaching of Sean Battier, his defensive skills have improved rapidly.In every single game, he completely lost the player he was facing.And in the team's training, his defense was praised by Kobe.It can be said that the current Lakers are becoming perfect step by step, and they are ready for the championship.
This time Utah hosted the Rocky Mountain League. It can be said that everyone was happy. Utah successfully inspected the strength of Deron Williams. New Orleans was also happy because they selected Chris Paul. The Lakers picked up a top point for nothing. Wei Miaozi, the Lakers seem to be the biggest winner in the league so far this summer. They have received reinforcements in various positions, and most importantly, they didn't spend much money.
The time quietly came to the end of July, during this period, Qin Tao got his American driver's license.Originally, he knew how to drive, and the driving rules in China and the United States are exactly the same, driving on the left and driving on the right, so these were almost no difficulties for Qin Tao, and he got an American driver's license very smoothly.In the future, he won't have to ask Zhang Jie to drive, he can solve it by himself.During this period of time, the Lakers also successfully made a deal.They exchanged Babbitt Gasasha-Vujacic Gamat-Barnes and the Warriors for a 06 first-round pick and some cash, and the lineup has been completely determined.
During this period of time, Qin Tao made many calls to Tris Winter, but without exception, he didn't get through a single call.And he also went to Tris Winter's house in person, but found that there was still no one there.Sometimes Qin Tao even thought, "Could it be that Triss Winter was murdered? But there has been no smell from his house for a long time, and the media has not reported that Triss Winter's body was found there." !"
Sitting on the sofa in the office, Qin Tao looked at the scorching sun outside the window, with a Marlboro cigarette in his hand.Just now Zhang Pinhui called him. Feili Company has successfully produced the first sneakers of Leo Bailey and Sapo Sefolosha. Everything is going very smoothly. assistant.
Qin Tao frowned, and put down the phone again, but no one answered Tris Winter's call.At this moment, a call came into Qin Tao's cell phone.His face changed completely three seconds after he picked up the phone, and the word shock was written on his forehead.
"Joy, Smith-Joy, repeat what you just said!" Qin Tao almost shouted.
On the other side of the phone, Smith-Joy swallowed and said: "Mr. Qin, this is news from within the Heat. It is absolutely true. It is estimated that the Heat will hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon. The former Lakers Head Coach 'Zen Master' Mayfair Jackson is in Miami. Fortune teller and Zen Master unite..."
"There's no news in advance... Okay!" Qin Tao weakly pressed the hang-up button, this is too much for his female horse... A few words starting with F popped out of his mouth continuously. "No, I have to go to Tris Winter, maybe this old boy is at home!"
Qin Tao drove his BMW to the neighborhood he had visited twice, and he came to the door again.Before knocking on the door he closed his eyes like a devout believer. "God, Allah, no matter which god is in the sky, bless me! Someone must open the door this time."
Qin Tao swallowed, and slowly knocked on the door.This time a look of surprise appeared on his face.Footsteps, he heard footsteps.
An old lady opened the door, and she asked, "Who are you! What's the matter?"
Qin Tao couldn't wait to say: "I'm the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. My name is Qin Tao. I'm here to talk to Tris Winter about something."
The old lady said apologetically: "He is taking a nap, why don't you come back next time?"
"No, I can wait for him and wait for him to get up."
"Okay! I'm sorry." The old lady welcomed Qin Tao in.
This is a very simple home. The black leather sofa seems to be old, and some places have been broken.The brown wooden floor is also paint peeled off in some places, the decoration here should be some years old.
The old lady poured Qin Tao a glass of water and went to the kitchen. Qin Tao sat in the living room bored by himself.The coffee table was very clean, but there were two notebooks. He opened the notebooks and read them when he was bored.All of them were explanations of the triangle offense. Qin Tao used to learn tactics by watching videos.After all, there is still a limit to a person's groping by himself, which is not as real as reading this kind of in-depth research notes.
Qin Tao didn't know much about the triangle offense, but now he suddenly realized, "So the triangle offense can still be used like this!" He watched it for hours, and it was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Tris Winter came out of the room. walked out.
"Mr. Qin, I kept you waiting. The old man doesn't sleep much at night, but he likes to catch up on sleep during the day." A white-haired old man with a desk said with a smile.
’ That’s Trish Winter, the father of the triangle offense. Qin Tao thought to himself, he stood up and stretched out his right hand with a smile, "Mr. Winter, I think time flies by looking at these notes of yours!"
Wen Te pointed to the sofa for Qin Tao to sit down, and then sat down himself.
Qin Tao nodded and sat down.
Qin Tao said anxiously: "Mr. Winter already knows it!"
"what do you know?"
"It's about Mayfair!"
"Understood, he has already signed a coaching contract with Miami." Triss Winter still had a smile on his face.
"What do you think of this?" Qin Tao asked.
Tris Winter replied: "He originally wanted to continue coaching Los Angeles, but Mr. Qin's performance was impeccable, and Mayfair had to find another job."
"Then... you..." Qin Tao looked at Tris Winter nervously and said.
"Me? I, an old man, don't want to travel so far. If it was ten years ago, I would definitely have gone to Miami, but now I think I should stay in Los Angeles!" Triss Winter's words ignited Qin Tao's hope .
"Mr. Winter, please accept my invitation to serve as the assistant coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. We will give you the best contract. In addition, you should be clear that I need you and your tactical thinking." Qin Tao lowered his head and bent Waist, very sincere.
"Hehe!" Triss Winter smiled, but did not answer, "Mr. Qin should have been here three times already!"
Qin Tao nodded, Wen Te stroked his chin, and said with a smile: "I know, I did it on purpose..."
