Chapter 589 [The Walking Dead, 23VS24]
The Lakers are not as strong as they used to be, but Kobe is still brilliant, and his data has improved from last season, averaging 29.4 points per game and leading the scoring list.
He expressed that he wanted to fight for the scoring title, and Yang Rui arranged tactics to help him fight. The players pulled away and let Kobe attack with the ball.Only Kobe Bryant averaged 36.2 minutes per game in the Lakers, and everyone else played within 30 minutes.
This kind of "the ball is in my hand, the ambition is in my chest, hey hey hey hey", the players are tired and the winning rate is low, but Kobe likes it, because as long as he plays like this, he must be the protagonist on the court.
O'Neal, the original protagonist of the "OK Group", was not so lucky. His popularity declined all the way, and he had a public conflict with Pat Riley, the coach and manager of the Heat, and was put on the shelf.
The Heat want to trade O'Neal as soon as possible, no matter what they can get back.In Yang Rui's previous life, a championship could cover up many problems, but now the conflict has broken out ahead of schedule.
Miami media broke the news that O'Neal is objectively unprofessional about maintaining state and training attitude, and he does not like training.And Riley's obsessive-compulsive disorder is no less than Kobe's, and tortured O'Neal intensified.
When O'Neal first joined the Heat, his body fat rate was 16%. Riley set up a "body fat measurement program", requiring guards to maintain a body fat rate of 6%, forwards 7%-8%, and centers at least 10%.
Riley likes to practice people as machines, and O'Neal's three views are fundamentally different from his.At most, O'Neal agreed, thinking in his heart: "I still dominate the game when my body fat percentage is 18%."
When they were at their peak, it was true that many people were in much better shape than O'Neal, and they were still blown away by him.O'Neal wrote in his autobiography: "Body fat data is rubbish."
In an interview, O'Neal said publicly that he misses Zen Master Jackson: "Phil is willing to give us old bones time to rest, and high-intensity training is not suitable for me."
** who is talking about?Of course Riley.
Riley is like a lunatic. His office overlooks the entire training hall, and he has cameras everywhere, including the locker room bathroom. There are no human rights to play in the Heat.
O'Neal complained: "No wonder Wade has been trembling, afraid of doing the wrong thing, I don't want to say the Heat is a prison, but everyone is walking on thin ice."
When Stan Van Gundy was fired, the media said that it was inseparable from O'Neal. O'Neal said in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Who thinks I want to play for Riley more?"
He also once complained: "We all know that Stan is the walking dead, and I feel sorry for him." In his opinion, Stan is just Riley's puppet.
More than half of the season, Riley has been revealed to have smashed the blackboard, smashed the video recorder, threw the remote control, and kicked the trash can in the Heat locker room... He often gave passionate speeches, but how should the team lose or how to lose.
Some people speculate that Riley is not far away from get out of class.
In any case, another famous coach has distanced himself from Yang Rui, and there are fewer and fewer people who can compare with him in the NBA.
In January, the Spurs and Suns began to show fatigue, and their regular-season records fell behind.
Popovich rotates players, reduces the minutes of the core, and does not give full force.
The sun is in addition to Nash, Barbosa, Bell, the state of other players declined.
After O'Neal gained weight, his shooting percentage dropped to 43.6%, and he averaged 19.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, but the efficiency was too low.Worst of all, he slowed down and couldn't play the run-and-gun well, which disrupted the team's rhythm.
The Mavericks looked better than last season, trailing the Lakers, but the Lakers lost both games.
The Lakers finished January with a 38-8 record, leading the league.
In February, the Lakers lost both home and away games against the Cavaliers by a small margin. When they played against the Cavaliers on the road, the Lakers scored less than 2 points and lost 90 to 85.
Many people smelled an unusual smell.Sometimes the star doesn't change, what changes is the intensity of the league's whistleblowing. There are many examples of this, the most obvious being Vince Carter.His ability is not inferior to McGrady and Kobe, but he has stayed in the Raptors. After Yang Rui left, he did not perform well.
Now the league wants to honor LeBron James, even with Mike Brown's anti-trend defensive tactics.The Cavaliers' home whistle is very powerful, although there are not many free throws, but the defensive end players move a lot.
Most of the teams started to attack and win, even Thibodeau and Hollins were led by Yang Rui. In the Bulls and Magic, they focused on offense and defense, and even focused on offense.The Cavaliers held high the banner of defense, relying on James to attack, and also won the first place in the East.
This is James' fourth season, and he hasn't tasted the playoffs yet. As the next No. 23 favored by the league, Stern really took great pains.James' body is the strongest among small forwards, and there are only a handful of people who can withstand him one-on-one.Such a person's face frame breakthrough, as long as the movement is smooth, and the walking referee does not blow, how to prevent it?
James' breakthrough method has caused a lot of controversy this season. It's not a problem to take three steps smoothly from pulling the ball to the layup. Many people steal a step. Dribbling and layup, which is obviously a violation, is rarely whistled.
In the second game against the Lakers, James had a six-step layup, but it was still judged to be a valid goal. It was a bit appalling. If Cao Zhi had taken one step, he would have made a poem.
Yang Rui knows that even if there is a dispute, Stern will not care about James, and will only revise the rules for him when the dispute is large enough to make his style of play legal.
No one in NBA history has ever received this kind of treatment.It's a pity that James didn't win the championship until he joined the Heat because of his own weakness. At that time, he annoyed Stern, and the star whistle in the Heat was obviously weaker.
This season, the league has begun to advocate the finals "23VS24", two years earlier than Yang Rui's previous life.
Kobe just changed his number from No. 8 to No. 24, which is fascinating, as if he was deliberately bigger than Jordan by one size.
Although Kobe Bryant did not explain the reason for choosing No. 24, in Yang Rui's previous life, he chose No. 10 for the national team, which happened to be one size larger than Jordan's No. 9.No explanation, probably because he failed to surpass Jordan when he retired, and the prepared lines were not useful.
In Yang Rui's previous life, James and Kobe fell in love with each other for 12 years, and the league hyped it countless times, but in the end they only played 22 regular season games and never met in the playoffs.
2009 was the season when the two had the most chance to join forces in the finals, and a documentary "Dream Season: 23Vs24" was released at that time.
That year, the Lakers put together the "three highs" and ranked first in the deep league in the interior; the Cavaliers led by James had the best regular-season record of 66 wins in the team's history, and they were almost unbeatable at home.But in the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavaliers lost to the Howard-led Magic.
This season, the two teams are likely to meet in the finals, and the Cavaliers have really gotten stronger.
The key figure in the team is Mo Williams. After he joined the Cavaliers, the data increased to 17.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, while shooting 48% from the field and 41.4% from three.
Relying on his excellent performance in the first half, Xiao Mo was selected as a substitute for the Eastern Conference All-Star Game. It is no surprise that he will also become the most improved player this season.
The Cavaliers' two insiders, Ilgauskas and Guden, scored in double figures, and they were able to pull out the perimeter to cover their teammates and catch the ball and make a mid-range shot.
Veteran Horry and Marshall, who was dug in in the summer, are also insiders who can shoot three-pointers. The backup center Varejao is good at defense and rebounding. The Cavaliers have a good inside depth and their formation is completely opened.
The Cavaliers swept the Lakers in the regular season, and the interest of fans was hooked again.
