Chapter 448 [Furious, open confrontation! 】

Yang Rui talked a lot with the role players, and he just said hello to Kobe. The sharp-eyed reporter discovered this and asked during the interview.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "I'm here to encourage rookies, Kobe doesn't need encouragement, even if I don't say it, he will never slack off in training. And I chat with him online all day long, and I'll take him to talk about basketball today, It's probably annoying him."

The reporter asked: "What role does Yao Minghui play in the team?"

Yang Rui said: "He will compete with other inside players for the core of the inside line. I will not let someone play more, depending on who the opponent is and the state of the players. What is certain is that during the preseason and training camp, Time, I will reduce the training volume of Yao Ming and Lamar Odom, because they participated in the Olympics, and recovery is the most important thing."

Yao Ming's injuries are all accumulated. Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming, who has become an All-Star, actually represented the Chinese team in the 2005 Asian Championships.If Yao Ming didn't play, they would not have the confidence to beat South Korea. In the 2002 Busan Asian Games, the men's basketball team was upset by the South Korean team.

Yang Rui will not stop Yao Ming's patriotic behavior, but will only help him decompress in other ways. With Kobe on the team, the Lakers don't need Yao Ming to hold the ball in the low post to attack, he will be much easier.

Most of the players interviewed were relatively low-key, with the exception of Rasheed Wallace, who has always dared to speak and is also a big mouth.

"I think the Lakers can hit the championship this season because our coach is Jerry Young, and that's why I joined."

The reporter asked: "You overlap with Odom. If Jerry asks you to be a substitute, would you like it?"

"Yes, he let me play center, I won't be surprised, he has always liked small ball tactics. I have not had a good time with the Blazers, and I believe it will be a good result with the Lakers."

The Blazers lost every year, even the best season of the lineup was lost to the Lakers, and Rashid's edges and corners were about to be smoothed out.

He used to be called "Roaring Heavenly Venerate", and he often yelled at the referee for technical fouls. He lost his energy last season.He had long given up the idea of ​​being the core leader to win the championship, and was willing to follow the coach's arrangement.

When Rasheed was introduced, many people thought that he was not easy to train and was a cancer in the locker room, but Yang Rui knew his performance in the Pistons, and he was very obedient and did not worry.

Kobe Bryant commented on Yang Rui: "He is the best coach in the league. His tactics can be described as terrible. As an opponent before, I failed to beat his team. Now that he has arrived at the Lakers, I believe he can lead the Lakers to win the championship."

Kobe is the most confident of all players, because the Wizards won the championship in 2003. He is confident that his personal ability is much stronger than that of 40-year-old Jordan.

The next day, the Lakers held their first public training session at the Staples Center. Nearly [-] fans came to watch. Hundreds of domestic and foreign media flocked to them, and many reporters failed to grab the media seats. seat.

Not even a single official game has been played, and the Lakers' popularity is catching up with the 2000-2001 season.

Old Bass gave a speech at the scene, thanked the fans first, and then thanked Yang Rui for joining, expressing his optimism about this season.

The Lakers' open training games are stronger and more entertaining than other teams, and there are interactive activities with fans from the beginning.

The players played in sequence, just like the usual regular season. Kobe received a lot of applause when he played at the finale. The Eagle County lawsuit was settled, and there were more fans supporting him.

The players warmed up, practiced shooting, and then divided into yellow and white teams for the most attractive match.

Scores were recorded in this competition and broadcast by local TV stations.

Yang Rui and Brooks lead the white team, and the eight players are Mo Williams, Terry Brown, Kobe, Hoiberg, Diaw, Ariza, Diop, and Yao Ming.

The yellow team is led by Hornacek and Hollins, and the eight players are Charlie Ward, Damon Jones, Anthony Peeler, Walton, Andre Iguodala, Cook, Rasheed Wallace Sir, Odom.

Mitchell Thompson, the guest host of Los Angeles Sports Channel, said: "Looking at the depth of the lineup, the yellow team has more experienced players and stronger overall strength. The white team is Kobe with a group of marginal people. The players are picked out on the spot. Jerry Yang is a bit underestimated, it would not look good if you lose in the open training match."

Partner Stu Lantz said: "Maybe he wants to test Kobe's strength, or he really believes that Yao Ming has the potential to become a star center and can work well with Kobe."

On the sidelines, fans were also discussing, and Hollywood stars Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler sat and chatted together.

"It's impossible for Jerry's white team to win, right? I suspect this kid did it on purpose. He wanted Kobe to fight seriously and see his strength," said the actor.

"Unless Yao can play at Duncan's level, it's hard to win. I don't remember the news saying that he is good at scratching the ball." Sandler laughed. He is a Duncan fan.

The old Bass and Kupchak sat together and whispered: "Jerry can really become the focus wherever he goes. He can attract people's interest in intra-team games."

Kupchak nodded: "I hope Yao Ming can really become a star, so we can make a lot of money in the new season."

Yang Rui arranged the tactics of Yao Ming and Kobe's pick-and-roll in the middle, and the others opened up and waited for opportunities.

Yao Ming played like this when he was with the Knicks. The difference is that Yang Rui asked him to observe the situation, cut to the basket at any time, catch the ball and attack or grab offensive rebounds, instead of standing in a high position and waiting for the ball back.

The starting lineup arranged by Yang Rui is Mo Williams, Hoiberg, Kobe, Diao, and Yao Ming.

The yellow team started Jones, Andre Iguodala, Walton, Odom, and Rashid.

Odom beat Yao Ming with a jump ball, and the game began.

Several insiders have to compete for playing time, and their desire to perform is very strong. Lamar Odom first showed his good physical fitness. When he debuted, he was known as a left-handed magician, Garnett Jr.

Jones took it to the frontcourt and passed it to Rasheed, who was 70 degrees on the side, and moved to the bottom corner of the right.Rasheed dropped the ball to Lamar Odom, who wanted the ball in the low post on the right.

Lamar Odom is a cameo center, intending to give Yao Ming a slap in the face, proving that he is also the second leader of the Lakers in the new season.He and Jones and Rasheed, who can shoot three-pointers, form a triangle, and it is not easy for opponents to double-team.

Lamar Odom walked with the ball frame, Yao Ming kept his distance, prevented breakthroughs, and interfered with shots.Odom lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough to the bottom line, followed by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming did not gain weight after entering the league, and his muscles were stronger than in 2002. Although his lateral movement speed was slow, he had no problem defending the basket area. He covered Odom with his tall body.

Odom has always been a starter and a power forward. He has never played against Yao Ming in the past two years, and he does not understand the characteristics of the other party.He took three steps deep into the basket and then jumped, trying to make a one-handed dunk of "Looking Back at the Moon".

This kind of kickback action is very beautiful. If it is scored, it will definitely be selected as the top five goals in the official game.But Odom underestimated Yao Ming too much. If he plays this game with Yao Ming in the penalty area, he will have a higher chance of being selected into the top five.

Yao Ming saw the opportunity, raised his toes a little, reached out to reach Odom, and pressed his right hand on the basketball accurately.

Yao Ming's center of gravity is very stable, but Odom is half-turned and his body is twisted. Naturally, Yao Ming is stronger and successfully blocked the ball.

Odom lost his weight in the air, landed on one foot, and then sat on the ground.

Yao Ming picked up the basketball, held it in his arms and waited for his teammates to respond, and completed a beautiful defense!
