Training must be a boring thing, and it is part of the work. At the end of last season, I thought that there were more than three months, most of which had to be trained, that is, work. Zhang Hao felt that this would be a difficult time.

But before I knew it, three months passed in a flash, but I felt that time was still not enough, and there was still a lot of things to practice...

But the new season is here!

On September 24, Zhang Hao invited Nash and Rashid Wallace to have lunch. The next day, the two left Los Angeles and returned to Portland. Zhang Hao also returned to Inglewood Town from Manhattan Beach. He put on glasses without lenses and began to remember the new version of the team manual that the coaching staff had already sent to him.

The main thing is the changes in the lineup and the adjustment of tactical structure.

The new teammates have already met, some are more familiar with each other, like Rick Fox, who is purely cheeky and familiar with each other, and the other new teammates are just acquainted with each other.

Zhang Hao remembers the tactical structure adjustment, so there is no big problem.

In the past two years, he has been studying the "Basic Running Encyclopedia" repeatedly and has been in actual combat. Now, if he only uses a pitcher without the ball, cut into players, and counterattacks, he can play the game in most systems.

Of course, after so many teammates have changed his personal ball-holding and offensive structure, he still needs time to get started after adjusting his ball-holding and offensive structure.

But his style of play must still be based on no ball, with Kenny Anderson leading the offense and O'Neal leading the attack, and his offense still focuses on the role of a pure scorer.

It took two hours to memorize all the tactical manuals. Britney, who came back from vacation, received the benefits of Silver Fox. She was a set of limited edition SD dolls to help Silver Fox check the memory of Zhang Hao's tactical manuals. Zhang Hao was helpless and accepted the random inspection like a test of English listening. Britney's mouth was pouting!

"Brother, you are so smart! I'm also worried that you will read the tactical manual at this time. My SD doll will be taken back by that old fox. Brother, you are so awesome!"

“…”

"Brother, I will record a single in a few months. Will you help me shoot the MV? The teacher said that if you are willing to help me shoot the MV, the sales of the record will definitely be very good!"

"Are you so direct about riding on the popularity?"

"Of course, you are my boss."

“All right…”

"Brother, you are so good!"

"Save it off! You're so tight!"

"mean!"

“…”

"By the way, brother, it seems that the tactics are strengthening O'Neal's role. You have won the FMVP. Why is the tactics not about you? But about O'Neal?"

"It's great. My tactical role last year is not as good as this year."

"oh……"

...

...

On the first day of returning to the team, it was still very ritual. It was mainly because I won the championship last season. This year's gathering day was chosen at the Great Western Forum Arena.

The NBA 1996-1997 season championship trophy is placed in the exhibition cabinet in the lobby of the Great Western Forum Arena.

Currently, 6 of the Lakers' 12 championship trophys are in the office of the Executive Vice President of Business in the Lakers' office of the Great Western Forum Arena, that is, Jenny Buss' office, and 5 are in the office of the Time Warner Training Hall. The latest one will be displayed here until the start of the regular season and then moved to Jenny Buss' office.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hao came to the stadium and first came to the lobby to see the trophy.

It is full of a sense of accomplishment, and I am very eager to put a new championship trophy here at this time next year.

Zhang Hao wandered around the stadium for a while. There was no change in the stadium from last year. It was broken and old. There were places for maintenance today. Just like this last year, there were places that needed repair every few days.

After a walk around, Zhang Hao came to the home team training ground, went to the locker room to change his jerseys, warmed up, and trained... From the time he returned to the team, the new season will begin.

The coaching team arranged the gathering time at 9 a.m. Zhang Hao was practicing. At nearly 8:30, his teammates came to the stadium one after another, but no one disturbed him in training.

Except...a fat man who finally arrived at the stadium.

Others either didn't want to disturb Zhang Hao or dared not talk to him, but the fat man took a ball and came to Zhang Hao's halftime practice at the sideline three-pointer. His huge size scared the caddie who was serving so much that he retreated repeatedly.

Everyone's attention in the training ground was attracted by the fat man, and then, seeing the fat man start to do back-attack, turn over, jump shot... he actually entered!

Hearing the exclamations of his teammates, O'Neal was very proud and said to the caddie: "Hey, Boy, give me the ball."

The caddie quickly threw the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal dribble again, leaned, turned around, and stepped into the throw on the right side of the three-second zone...it was iron...

But the movement is smooth!

He was very proud of hearing the continuous screams of his teammates and the old teammates who were calling his name last season.

Faced with the exclamations of his teammates, O'Neal said proudly: "The technique of back-playing is too simple. I just practice it casually. Should I use it in the new season..."

O'Neal went to practice this move this summer. Of course, it was just to practice the movements and would never be stupid. It was used in the game. It was just to tease Zhang Hao.

O'Neal turned to see Zhang Hao's reaction. He thought it would be very exciting because he deliberately followed Zhang Hao's game video to practice... Then, he saw Zhang Hao playing a jump shot with a back and turning around and dribbling across the ball, with smooth movements... The key is...

This action is exactly the same as his old partner Anthony Hardaway!

"Mr. O'Neal, what did you say?"

“…”

What to do? Looking at Zhang Hao's calm face, O'Neal really wants to hit someone!

But you may not be able to beat it!

This time it was Zhang Hao's turn to surprise his teammates. Anthony Hardaway's jump shot with one step behind his back and one step behind the jump shot was his unique skill, and Zhang Hao actually learned it!

O'Neal practiced a new technology, and everyone knew that he was trying to play, because he didn't need to be so complicated to play. His teammates were so huge and so flexible, and they were still surprised no matter how many times they saw it. Secondly, they were to give O'Neal face.

But it’s different for Zhang Hao to develop new technologies, because he has always been famous for his learning ability that makes people feel crazy.

Hearing the true heartfelt screams of his teammates, O'Neal walked to the chair next to the court in disappointment and sat down, and he was defeated...

Originally, due to Zhang Hao's reasons in the stadium, the atmosphere was not stiff, but cold, and everyone was doing their own things.

But Zhang Hao responded to O'Neal's tossing and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

Zhang Hao's training was interrupted by O'Neal, so he could talk about it first.

Kenny Anderson, Rick Fox, and Brian Shaw gathered their teammates to introduce themselves.

Before, everyone got to know each other privately, but this kind of self-introduction when they were together for the first time was still very useful, because some people had only met each other, such as Zhang Hao and Robert Pike.

Nowadays, self-introductions can better show a person's personality traits in the team.

For example, O'Neal said that he loved reading in private, which caused his teammates to burst into laughter.

O'Neal was not comfortable today, and sat down depressedly and sulked.

Because he really loves reading in private...

Why did the rookie of the 76ers say in an interview that he is a master's degree in psychology and now he starts to study by himself. Everyone praises that rookie is so powerful, and he also applied for the master's degree in the Department of Finance Management of Phoenix University and is also a graduate student in self-study. Everyone laughs when they hear it?

When Zhang Hao introduced himself, he stood up and said, "My name is Zhang Hao, and his English name is X, I..."

"Aix is ​​the strongest high school student in history! He still owe me...ah..."

Jason Williams, who came out and yelled, was kicked away by Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao didn't use any effort at all, just trying to interrupt the statement "the strongest high school student". Jason Williams flew out and fell on the floor...

This acting skill won the applause of Rick Fox.

After a short ten minutes of self-introduction, those who pay more careful attention to their teammates have an understanding of their current teammates' image in the team.

It mainly depends on the understanding between new and old players.

Since the old players are still in the team more, Zhang Hao, O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Jason Williams, Ben Wallace, Brian Shaw, Fisher's eight players last season have more people than the new players Rick Fox, Joan Barry, Brent Barry, Robert Pike, Corey Blunt, and Sean Lux, so the old players feel that "there is a newcomer coming" rather than "re-building the team."

Some people may not be so sensitive, but for Zhang Hao, this is very important. The thing he was most unacceptable to at the beginning of last season was that his lineup had almost changed.

The core circle of tactics has also changed. Last season, Kenny Anderson, Magician and Brian Xiao led the tactics. The Magician retired and Rick Fox joined.

Because of Rick Fox's familiarity, after joining the Lakers and coming to Los Angeles, he took the initiative to contact old Lakers players. He had already become familiar with Kenny Anderson, Brian Shaw, and O'Neal before going to find Zhang Hao.

Moreover, there is a sequence. He went to the management and coaching staff to learn about the situation of the old players.

So, first find Bryan Shaw and Kenny Anderson, and after getting to know O'Neal and Zhang Hao, then go find these two.

Even if there is a rift between the old Lakers players, they are old teammates after all, and they won the championship together. The team's lineup has changed drastically. With so many new players, the old players are more willing to play with old teammates. Similarly, the new ones are like Zhang Hao and Jason Williams when they joined the Lakers together. The new ones are more willing to join the same new ones.

At this time, Rick Fox became the key hub. He is definitely one of the tactical cores and can connect new and old Lakers players from multiple aspects.

Just like looking at ***, Zhang Hao originally brought a few tinted glasses to Rick Fox. Even if he did very serious things, he would still involuntarily put them into the colorful scene. He felt that this guy came to the Lakers just to get a female star with free kung fu. As a result, he was really active in his work and did a good job.

Rick Fox took over the job as a Magician very well, and the new teammate had been talking about things related to the new season after a brief chat in the previous contact. He got a good impression from Zhang Hao.

As his name suggests, Rick Fox is a fox with rich social experience. He will be able to make it as good as a fish in water when he comes to the new team.

The Barry brothers are also good. They are familiar with new and old teammates. They come from famous sports families. They always get more opportunities than ordinary players. It is said that sports competition is purely based on strength, but when they have equal strength, their family background can always help them get more opportunities.

Sean Lux looks hot, and Cory Blunt has an honest face and looks down-to-earth...

Only Robert Pike looks very unruly.

He was laid off, but no one was interested in asking for a position in the free market, and was finally signed by the logo man... but it was still full of edges and corners.

Zhang Hao admires these unique players very much, but reality can always defeat everything.

...

At 9 o'clock, Silver Fox brought his coaching staff into the training ground on time, and the 14 new players of the Lakers had met again.
To be continued...
