Chapter 1291 Lone Star

Chapter [-] Lone Star

The Lakers entered April with the momentum of the league's No. [-] team.

Meanwhile, there has been some controversy over the league's Player of the Month selection.

Wilson, who led the team and only lost two games in a single month, is the player of the month in the eyes of many people, but the player who was actually elected was Michael Jordan.

整个三月份,乔丹场均34分8篮板7助攻,带队打出10胜3负的战绩。

Although Wilson has a higher winning percentage, his statistics are not as impressive as Jordan's.

But Wilson wasn't petty enough to be distracted by it.

If people are willing to give it to Jordan, just give it to Jordan, even if he gets the best of 100 months, what's the use?

On the other hand, Louis began to take advantage of his side's advantage to rest some veterans in April.

Except for Wilson who refused to accept his resignation, Barkley and the tragedian were all willing to take paid leave.

Louie rested Barkley for four games, citing a tight hip, and then citing thigh soreness for half of the regular season in April.

Barkley gave up a core player's time, and the tragedy master gave up a main rotation time. Louis took this opportunity to inspect those players who usually played less.

Seeing that Barkley and the tragedians can take paid vacations, Rodman's little thoughts are vivid.

"Coach, if you really don't want to lose face, I can cause some trouble on the court, and I can be suspended for one or two games!"

Rodman's words were vetoed by Louis as soon as he spoke.

"Everyone in this team can take a break, except you. You are not eligible for a break, because you joined in the middle of the game. You must use the remaining time to get familiar with your teammates and put away other thoughts!"

Rodman's role is difficult to measure with data.

He's a typical winning jigsaw puzzle.

No matter how his negative effects will affect the team, anyone who has played before will know how cool it is to have a good defense, excellent support, and not taking up the number of shots in his team.

Louie only gave Rodman 23 minutes per game, and the result he brought back was 0.7 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

Louie found something very strange about the relationship between Rodman and Kobe.

Every time Rodman dealt a high position card, he dealt it to Kobe's position.Because Kobe's desire to shoot is very full.

And Rodman has enough time to observe Kobe's shot and make a prediction.

Kobe Bryant's characteristic of shooting wildly in the bench lineup gave Rodman more opportunities to compete for rebounds.

Oddly, the two communicated very little on the court.

Stevens once asked Rodman why he and Kobe were so in tune.

Rodman's answer was simple: "He is the only star on the court, and my job is to serve him."

Kobe's innocence highlights Rodman's understanding of basketball has reached a very high level.

In this case, even if there is no communication between the two, Rodman can use his experience and golf intelligence to guide Kobe to play better.

Sometimes, Rodman just told Kobe where to stand to catch the ball, and Kobe listened.

Afterwards, when the coaching staff reviewed the game, they found that Kobe was in the right position, and most of his shots were reasonable.

This kind of post-mortem conclusion does not match the coaching staff's sense of the court.

Judging from the feeling of watching the game, Kobe's shots have increased significantly in recent times.

But after replaying, I feel that there is no problem.

"The weirdness of it all was Dennis," Nelson said. "He brought Kobe to his rhythm."

Bird said transparently: "Only Kobe can adapt to his rhythm, and the two of them complement each other."

Carlisle sighed: "It's incredible that two people who have no intersection in private have such a good chemical reaction on the court."

Louis did not express his opinion on the matter.

Because he is still watching.

In addition to the on-court performance that needs to be observed, Rodman's off-court performance is also the focus of Louie's attention.

After Rodman finished the daily training, he either left directly, or stayed on the court and watched Kobe practice the "shooting star" tactics from a distance.

Louis therefore had a bold guess.

Rodman understood the tactics?

At least he saw the path Kobe needed to complete, so he knew where Kobe's sweet spots were, and when Kobe did what he told him to do, he was like a "lone star" off the bench.

For this reason, Louis reconfirmed this point through a video review.

That's right, with the help of Rodman, Kobe completed a one-man "meteor" tactic on the court.

Moreover, this tactic may only be completed by Kobe.

He integrated the path of "Meteor" tactics into conventional tactics, and he may not have even discovered it himself.

In his opinion, many of his running positions are improvised on-the-spot decisions, but in fact, it is the improvement of game awareness brought about by running "Meteor" tactics every day.

Kobe began to have the correct tactical awareness.

When there is a problem with the tactics he is running, subconsciously, the consciousness brought about by the "meteor" tactics that have been gradually integrated into his flesh and blood will be revived subconsciously, and he will change the path with the thinking of a "meteor" tactic participant.

But he was too young to avoid taking the wrong path, so when Rodman used his experience to help, the shortcomings caused by "Lone Star" were solved.

"Kobe is amazing!"

Bass, who didn't understand anything, looked at Louis who was getting more and more excited, and praised Kobe appropriately.

Louie is not only happy that Kobe has explored more possibilities of "beautiful basketball", but also excited by the correctness of the route he currently sets.

After all, "Beautiful Basketball" has been available for less than two years. As an emerging tactical system, it still needs a long time of trial and error and development.

The "Lone Star" tactic that Kobe and Rodman inadvertently created is a great initiative.

Louie didn't say anything about it, just let it run its course.

Some things, too deliberately will not have good results.

Since the Lakers rested a lot of players in April, their winning percentage has also begun to decline.

Originally, Wilson was guaranteed, but although Louis did not let him rest, he strictly limited his playing time.

The regular season is coming to an end, and they must not take any risks for this, and must ensure that all members advance to the playoffs in a healthy manner.

With many main players and veterans resting, the young Lakers got a lot of opportunities.

Looking at April alone, Bryant's scoring average soared from 8 points to 15 points per game.

加内特也从19+9+4提升到24+11+6。

Nash finished two games with 20 points and 10 assists.

Ben Wallace, the least watched by fans, also took this opportunity to show fans his potential as the greatest defender of the first decade of the new century.

In the regular season finale of the 1996-97 season, the Lakers played against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home.

In this game, the Lakers will rest Liu Yuqing, Baros, Ostertag, Tragedy, and Barkley.

Daben started the game for 38 minutes. On the offensive end, he relied on Nash to score in double figures. On the defensive end, he used his size to confuse opponents—no one could say no to a penalty area protected by a two-meter center—and sent out 8 big caps.

Bryant also played the best game of his rookie season.

At the end, 117 to 108, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves and ended the regular season journey with the league's first record of 66 wins and 16 losses.
