Chapter 84

The Laker coaching team has confirmed the new season's 15 person lineup, the injured Fisher also occupied a quota.

Center: Shaquille O'Neill, Greg foster.

Power forwards: Mark Madsen, Horace grant, Robert holly, medvedenko.

Small forward: Rick fox, Devon George.

Shooting guards: Kobe Bryant, Bryan Shaw, Isaiah Lederer, and Mike panpesi.

Point guard: Guo Xu, Ron Harper, Derek Fisher.

ESPN pointed out three major flaws in the media's collective view of the Lakers.

One is that the old one in the fourth position of the Lakers is less and less athletic. Robert Holly was injured in pre-season and will miss the opening game against the Blazers.

Second, the offensive side relies too much on Kobe and O'Neill singles, and lacks the third attacker. Isaiah Lederer can't adapt to the triangle attack, especially the substitute attack.

Third, there is a fatal weakness in the No. 1 position of the Lakers. In addition to two veteran point guards who are not good at defending breakthroughs, only Jason Guo, the last rookie, is left. He seems unable to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. Small guards are easy to be targeted on the court, just like tyronlu.

Now the media generally believe that Guo Xu's strength is overestimated. The reason why Guo Xu plays well in the summer league is because of the poor overall level and low defensive intensity this year. On the official website of the NBA, fans also have little hope for Guo Xu.

If he has the strength, why is he always on the edge in pre-season?

Everyone likes to think about the bad side. He may be unstable in attack, not good in training, or he is too bad in defense and will be knocked out on the court. No one thought that because of Lederer, who was dissatisfied with the right of the ball, Jackson hid Guo Xu and prepared him to be the secret weapon of the opening war.

Charlotte's reporter specially interviewed Bob bass, the general manager of wasp. This time, he did not speak ill of Guo Xu. The old man is 70 years old and has poor psychological endurance. He does not want to fall twice in the same place.

What knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.

Bob bass wants to see Guo Xu's jokes, but he has a hunch that things are not so simple. Those who can break the summer league scoring record must focus on training in the Hornets team, and they can never be just marginal people.

Negative comments indirectly helped Guo Xu. Jackson has decided to use him in the second quarter to speed up the offensive rhythm. It's really not good for the Lakers to rely on OK combination to attack. Other people have to come forward.

The Bulls won three consecutive titles for two times. Jordan and Pippen played a lot of time, but the role players played the same key. Jackson likes to let the core play more, and other players share the playing time. On the surface, their data are very ordinary, but in fact, the total playing time is not inferior to the star of his opponent.

No. 1 Jackson had no choice but to use Guo Xu. Fisher long-term absence, Harper and Brian Shaw offensive side data combined may not be able to compare with the other side's ordinary start.

Guo Xu was hidden in the preseason, and Jackson was always allowed to give full play to his strengths in the usual training.

As long as Guo Xu, Lederer, George, Holly and Madsen come on the stage together, they can not only attack quickly, but also open up the space for pick and roll attack. They can break through the outside line well at the defensive end, and they will not be easily attacked.

After three weeks of running in, Lederer didn't make a fuss. He admitted that Guo Xu was more suitable for holding the ball than he was. When he counterattacked, he received the pass and could attack hard. The positional war opened up and waited for opportunities to cut. Although the number of shots was small, the percentage of hits was guaranteed.

Jackson also tried to let veteran foster as a backup center, play pick and roll better, but his speed, confrontation, rebounding control ability is not as good as Madsen.

Foster is a famous NBA "softball" inside, after 90 years in the league has been a substitute, playing 12 minutes per game.

He is 211cm tall and weighs 109 kg. He has been to the finals twice with the jazz and is experienced. He is good at helping his teammates to cover and create opportunities. He has a good shooting percentage in the middle and occasionally shows three points. Last season, he made five three-point shots and made two-for-five three-point shots in the playoffs.

After training on the afternoon of 29, Jackson talked to Guo Xu alone.

"In the regular season, I plan to increase your playing time. How long you play depends on how well you play. The offensive side controls the rhythm, and the breakthrough should be firm. On the defensive side, I don't need you to make up defense and assist defense. Try to keep an eye on the point guard, especially after the cover, chase and defend quickly. I want you to share the core pressure, okay? "

"Yes, I promise to finish the task." Guo Xu gave Jackson a military salute.

Jackson was amused and patted him on the back. "Don't practice tomorrow. We have to catch a plane in the evening. Don't be late."

"OK, thank you, coach."

The Laker's first game away to challenge the Blazers, this time David Stern has been able to engage in a duel gimmick. The Blazers were knocked out by the last quarter of the Lakers last season, and the players were trying to get revenge.

On the evening of the 30th, Guo Xu rushed to the airport after dinner and boarded the team's "sky one" special plane with his teammates.

The advantage of players playing in big cities is not only the exposure rate, but also much more comfortable when they fly away from home. We should know that NBA games often have to fly across several time zones, and bad rest of players will affect their performance. Not all teams have special planes. Most teams use charter flights to fly away from home.The black plane of the Lakers is refitted, and the seats are spacious and comfortable. After the aircraft is powered on, the seats are golden in color, very gorgeous, just corresponding to the purple gold Legion.

The interior of the special plane is designed with circular seats. There is no problem with eating a lunch box and putting a cup on the table. If you spread out the folds, you can make a big table for the players to play cards or something.

There is a small storage cabinet between the sofa and the partition template behind it. Toilet paper, Walkman and other things can be put in temporarily. The first aid box is on the upper side of the other side. The staff are fully prepared.

Guo Xu and Madsen sat together and talked about the game all the way.

The scouts will send the information of the opponents to the players before they get on the plane. The coaching team hopes that everyone can understand their opponents. Even if they are substitutes, they should read the information carefully. It is better to see the game video.

Madsen looked excited and said, "I hope I can play a little longer. Don't let me be too powerful. I think I can deal with Rashid Wallace."

Madsen is eager to play, eager to fight. Guo Xu found that this man is really a madman. When training in the team, he was often arranged to defend O'Neill alone. He was so excited that he kept close to the front and top defense and dared to be tough on the team leader.

His style of playing is very similar to Guo Xu's former 198cm center Chuck Hayes of the Rockets, but he is taller than Hayes. Madsen this kind of non offensive blue collar can mix nine seasons in the league, has to say is a miracle. His attack is not as good as Hayes, Hayes can occasionally show a throw, free throw, peak will also coordinate the pass, hit three double.

After reading the materials, Guo Xu felt that he had a chance to break out. The starting point guard and the backup point guard of the Blazers were small and similar to his body. He was not afraid of this kind of guard, even if it was Damon stadamier, the "little flying mouse".
