On the 17th, on the eighth day after the training camp officially started, the Lakers finally officially held a joint training for the first time.

The atmosphere of the whole team was a little nervous. Seeing that attitude, Su Yang was sure that the motivational speech was of little effect. After thinking for a while, he temporarily canceled the gathering speech session and turned to a fan, saying that he hoped to see Kobe and McGrady play several American-style singles matches.

"I am the fans of you two. I want to see how you fight one-on-one in your 30s. Are you not afraid of losing, right?"

The two rookies, Goodlock and Dalius, followed closely together, and Kobe and McGrady met and agreed.

The whole team gathered together to watch the game. Kobe did not defend with all his strength. McGrady's body was still strong in static talent. The two attacked tacitly several times, and the score was quite tight. Finally, McGrady's high emotional intelligence pulled out the iron and lost one point to complete the performance.

The atmosphere of the whole team became relaxed, and then began shooting training. Su Yang emphasized: "We will have a lot of three-point tactics in the new season, which will be an important means for us to defeat other teams. Even if we are at the center, we have to take time to practice..."

Hearing that the center could shoot three-pointers, Bynum asked with surprise: "Coach, can I also shoot three-pointers?"

"certainly!"

Su Yang replied firmly: "Everyone knows the importance of space in basketball games. Once space appears, even if you are not good at shooting three-pointers, you must still take action resolutely. Don't have the backward concept that three-pointers are mainly shot by guards!"

Su Yang did not say it casually, but he really designed three-point tactics specifically for the center position in tactical order, but mainly for Troy Murphy, who was the substitute lineup, as for the starting lineup Bynum, he could only make three-pointers in special circumstances.

That's not biased, mainly because Bynum's three-pointer is really not good, and he has not reached the level of Gasol Jr. and Lopez Big.

"Anyway, if you have any doubts, I suggest you find Jason? Capono to solve his doubts. He is a three-pointer for many years, especially Goodlock and Morris. You two can learn a lot from Jason. The team needs you two to stand up in the bench..."

While talking, Su Yang deliberately praised Capono, and gave the two rookies the expected rewards for their time and time, which stimulated the three to show a better attitude and perform better. Anyway, it was to moisten things silently and motivate every player in the team.

"In the new season, Paul Gasol and McRoberts will become our high-level support core. The coaching staff has designed and cooperated with the two's bottom line interspersed with empty cutting tactics. I believe that Luke Walton and McGrady's golf club can play well..."

"Barnes and Artest will support us with a strong forward defense. We may not be that fast, but we have rich experience in positioning and we are very strong. I am extremely looking forward to Fisher's direct interception of LeBron's collision..."

"In short, we share the ball a lot, use experience to achieve easy scores, and then use experience to achieve defense..."

After a few consecutive sentences, Su Yang divided the relatively empty chicken soup-style speech into encouraging every player on the team.

The panic caused by the trading storm has decreased again. Su Yang wandered back and forth around the audience to observe, occasionally discussing the training status of the players with the coaching team, and occasionally revealing to the players what kind of exclusive tactics they have designed for them in the new season.

After about half an hour, the whole team stopped to rest. Su Yang walked directly to Kobe and stood still, and spoke loudly.

"Have you heard Tayshaun Prince talk about the difference between defending you and LeBron? Just the guy defending you in the 2004 Finals." Su Yang knew that Kobe must have never heard of that discussion, but just planned to use it to turn to what he really wanted to say.

Kobe shrugged: "You have something to say, don't talk about anything to stimulate me in the 2004 finals, I will listen..."

"Hey, that's it..."

The little thought was exposed in an instant, and Su Yang smiled and said, "Prince believes that your main job in defending is to interfere with your rhythm, making it difficult to reach a position you are good at, and to find a state of action. I specially designed some tactics to hide motivation."

Kobe curled his lips: "He can't defend me at all, but since you specially designed it, I'm also interested in seeing how to fight."

McGrady laughed without any concealment, and the other players laughed, and the atmosphere of the whole team became a little cheerful.

Su Yang immediately waved to Gasol and the others, and designated everyone's position, saying: "I call this tactic ucla    fsit    flex. In terms of name, it is the fist that is split into a starting point..."

"We start with the basic formation of one, inside and four outside, Gasol is in the strong side waist position, Atai is in the strong side wing position, Bynum is in the weak side 45-degree three-point line, Fisher is in the weak side line, Kobe is responsible for holding the ball and advancing without the need to fight in advance..."

"After Kobe dribbled the ball to the strong side, he activated the UCL's empty cut cooperation, first pass the ball to Ate, and then used Gasol to cover it to move to the strong side and waist position. That is where Kobe is better at scoring. In this way, he does not need to get a position in advance to waste his energy, and can temporarily hide his tactical intentions. If the opponent has assisted defense or overdefense, he will also look at the opportunity to grab a three-pointer or an empty cut..."

In Su Yang's words, Kobe and others nodded in response, while McGrady was more excited because he could perfectly replace Arte's role.

But everyone was not surprised. The tactic started with the improved version of UCL's empty cut, which was nothing more than using Kobe's particularly strong low-post scoring threat, that is, a few more small cooperation, and the opponent only needs to rotate quickly or defend in a joint manner.

"If Kobe's first chance is not good, then Gasol holds the ball at the three-point line, Arte can see the opportunity, use Kobe's back cover to cut the basket, or continue to cooperate with Gasol. McRoberts can also achieve the same effect in Gasol's work, and so on, other forward players can also play like Arte, which is a tactic suitable for the whole team..."

Kobe and the others nodded again. Gasol's ability to support him needs no more. McRoberts has already proved that he can support him. As for forwards such as Barnes and Luke Walton, it may be a bit difficult for the thug to hand over his hands, but there is absolutely no problem with cutting or transferring the ball.

Anyway, with high-level support, the subsequent changes in this tactic are very rich, and the key is that it does not require too much difficulty.

"Bynham can cover Fisher on the weak sideline, allowing Fisher to transfer the top position to get the ball, shoot three-pointers or break through, that is the split cooperation commonly used in triangular offense, just switch support to a high position..."

"Similarly, after the screening, Bynum can move to the waist position, look for singles opportunities, or directly attack the basket, which can help you get the ball better, because you were not the focus of the offensive before, and your opponent didn't have time to go around and get the position..."

"Fisher can also directly attack the basket, especially when Kobe gets the ball to attract the opponent's defensive attention, because we are in the inner and four outer formations, and there will be a lot of empty areas in the middle. Kobe will definitely find you and pass the ball in time..."

"Of course, our tactics will have a great challenge, that is, our three-point shooting ability. If our overall three-point shooting ability is low, then the opponent can unscrupulously shrink the inside line and block our empty cuts and passes..."

"So we have to work hard to improve the three-point shooting percentage!"

Su Yang clenched his fists and signaled himself to finish his speech. The Lakers nodded and responded. The operation logic of this ucla    fsit     flex tactic is very clear, so before the high and lows and internal and external expansion and contraction were discussed, Gasol and others figured it out in advance.

As long as the outside is blocked, Kobe can return to the outside to receive the ball and help Gasol move to the low post to play his specialties.

This is a small offensive system, which is carried out with Kobe's scoring ability as a restraining measure, making full use of every player.

"You want me to play more without the ball, right?" Kobe asked.

"Yes, I also hope that you can play more pick-and-rolls, so that you can score more efficiently, so that you can lead the team to win the championship."

Su Yang was not shy, "You can trust me completely, and you can trust everyone in the team, this time..."

"No problem!" Kobe rushed to say, "Let's see what happens, I'm very much looking forward to it."

When Su Yang heard this, he stopped and wanted to continue saying something, clapped his hands to continue training, and the whole team vaguely improved a little bit of fighting spirit.

The main reason is that Kobe promised to play more off-ball and pick-and-roll, which means that more sharing of ball will be realized.

The 19th is just around the corner, with only one day left before the Lakers' first preseason game. ESPN released the new season's player strength rankings and chose to rank Kobe seventh. It also said that Kobe has a high salary and low ability, and earns 9.3 million more than his actual ability.

In the words, it was implied that if Kobe received a salary of 9.3 million US dollars less, he would probably be able to keep Odom.

When Su Yang saw the espn news, he knew that Kobe would definitely be very angry, so he immediately called.

He wants to keep Ke Laoqi calm and not be like in his previous life, because he wants to prove that he should not be ranked seventh. He rushed and beat hard in the preseason against the Clippers, which eventually caused his palm injury and entered the regular season with injuries, which made him a vicious cycle.
