NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 235 Does the old man know?
After beating the Timberwolves, the Kings continued their journey, and Lu Yuanzhi also continued to optimize his data-brushing plan.

At present, the way that will least cause a rebound is to assist in the fast break after blocking the shot.

Of course, it is impossible to block every ball, but Lu Yuanzhi's defensive interference still caused the opponent's shooting percentage to plummet.

that's enough.

He got the rebound inside, and Lu Yuanzhi, who was blocking the shot from the outside, started a fast break.

Lu Yuanzhi increased his chances of taking action, while Clark naturally reduced his chances of taking action.

But no one can complain about this. You didn't have time to run to the frontcourt and Lu Yuanzhi completed the finish. What else can you say?
Max, wait for me, wait until I'm in position and then counterattack?
There is no water in your head!
As for Lu Yuanzhi's promise to return to the basket, hey, brothers, have you seen it? It's not that I don't want to come back. Just a moment ago, I was blocking shots from the outside!
The Kings coaching staff and players naturally know what Lu Yuanzhi is thinking.

This year is Lu Yuanzhi's contract year. Of course Lu Yuanzhi wants to produce eye-catching data and seek a bigger contract.

A matter of course.

Everyone has to go through this. If you don't let Lu Yuanzhi attack more today, no one else will give you the ball next time when the contract year comes.

Every peck and drink has its own cause and effect.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanzhi still had a sense of proportion and would continue to feed Clark cakes during positional battles.

This act of compromise also allowed Lu Yuanzhi to rack up a lot of assists data.

Clark, you may make a small profit, but I, Lu Yuanzhi, will definitely not lose!
The team played two games in a row with the Nuggets, and the Kings coaching staff felt that the Nuggets' new inside man Nene Hilario was pretty good.

Yes, it’s the famous Brazilian beast insider “Illidan” (an egg) and “Old Man with Leftover Egg”, Nene!
Nene is 211 centimeters tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He has just turned 20 this year. He has a strong body and outstanding explosive power. His finishing success rate at the basket is close to 7%, and his outside basket is also good. It can be said that he fully meets the needs of the Kings.

For more than a month, the coaching staff of the Kings can be said to have a pure "scumbag" style. They fall in love with everyone they see.

When they couldn't reinforce the inside last season, their first reaction when they saw an inside was, hey, this is a human shield, let's leave him alone.

That one can only shoot and is a softie, rush him to death.

After expecting to trade Clark for a usable backup big man this season, their thoughts quickly changed.

Look at this, it seems to be useful against O'Neal.

Look at that, it looks like it could come in handy when fighting Duncan.

Both rookies and veterans try to put them into their own team's system.

After thinking about it, everyone was surprised to find that any kind of insider seemed to be useful.

Is this because there are too many good prospects, or is it because the substitute insiders are too weird?
Dare not to think too much.

Of course, the Kings are only thinking about Nene. This rookie insider has already shown some talent in the Nuggets. As long as the Nuggets management is not stupid, they will definitely not be willing to transfer such a potential player to the Nuggets. Endless rookies let go.

What's more, 03 is still a big year for the draft. There are a lot of excellent defender/forward candidates. No matter who is selected, they can perfectly cooperate with Nene.

How could the Nuggets let go of such an important piece of reconstruction puzzle?
After winning two games against the Nuggets, the Kings moved to Texas and started their road trip. Their opponent was the main opponent in the playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs also made reinforcements this summer, recruiting Argentinian genius Ginobili. Of course, except for Lu Yuanzhi, no one thinks that the young man the Spurs selected in the second round of 99 and decided to come here this year is anything. special.

However, Manu did not appear on the roster for this game. He still has to deal with some trivial matters with his original club and recuperate from injuries. He will probably not be able to land in the NBA until the end of this year or early next year.

Newly joining the Spurs this year are Steve Kerr and Bus.

There is a joke about Cole. It is said that after chasing his dream and winning his fourth championship, he excitedly said to Cole, "Look, Steve, I have four championship rings."

Cole calmly stretched out his hands, then retracted one finger, "Oh, sorry, I already have 9!" Cole's fifth championship ring as a player was 5- Won it with the Spurs in the 02 season.

But now, the Kings are still strong, and the Lakers have formed a more reasonable "F4". I wonder if Cole in this timeline has to retract his two fingers when he is showing off.

Last season, Cole went to the Trail Blazers to help his old brother Scottie Pippen win the world, but the first thing he couldn't stand was the Trail Blazers' smoky locker room culture.

Seeing that Pippen had nothing to do with the "prisoners", Cole returned to the Spurs.

However, in the past two seasons, Cole has run out of gas in the tank. He averaged about 10 minutes per game, threw one or two three-pointers during the rotation, and averaged 4 points per game.

He can no longer be the guy who hits the winning shot.

The bus is no stranger to Kings players. During the warm-up before the game, many Kings players came up to say hello to him.

It can be said that in last season's Western Conference Finals, if Bus hadn't imitated O'Neal and allowed the Kings players to find some ways to deal with O'Neal, the Kings might not have been able to drag the Lakers into the quagmire so early in the series.

"Bartelle, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the Kings players? Because of Max?"

Daidai didn't know that Daba was working as a sparring partner for the Kings, so he looked curious.

"Oh, during the Western Conference Finals last year, Max asked me for help. He went to the Kings to be their sparring partner and imitated Shaq."

"You know, just what the coach asked me to do before."

I was stunned, huh?Is there such a story?
"The old man knows about your experience?"

"Of course the coach knows!"

"On the first day I came to report, he chatted with me, asked about my work with the Kings, and then arranged special training for you and David."

The bus's English is not good, and complex communication needs to be carried out through an interpreter.

From the look on Duncan's face, Daba felt that there was nothing wrong with the translation.

The language problem is the biggest problem Daba currently encounters with the Spurs.

He can get a general idea of ​​ordinary court communication.

Sometimes, no words are even needed, a simple body movement is enough to express.

For example, if a defender pats you on the head, that means he needs you to pick and roll.

Or teammates shout "ICE" when guarding the pick-and-roll, just to force the opponent to the sideline.

But if there is complicated communication on the court, the bus will be at a loss.

You can't call the translator onto the field in the middle of the game!

"Just put you in an NBA locker room for a few months and you'll learn English."

Dayao talked about how he learned English in such a humorous way.

It's a pity that no matter whether they are in the bus or in the Dazhi, they have been locked in the locker room for a year or two, and they still cannot pass the language barrier.

In the end, this disadvantage also made their journey in the NBA difficult, which has to be lamented.
