Chapter 74 Old Shark's Debut (5.2k
In the office of the training hall, the Charlotte Observer, the Sports Illustrated, the Basketball Times...
Several newspapers and magazines sat in a row on their desks, with large titles piercing Sam Vincent's eyes.
"Charlotte formed the AGS group and sprinted in the second half!"
"The answer joins hands with sharks, and a new force in the east is born."
"After the shark joins, the bobcats have no shortcomings."
“…”
Sam Vincent scratched his head, and at this moment he was facing a happy trouble.
Lao Ai, who is still the top singles scorer in the league, still has oil in the fuel tank. He is at least the top five center Sharks in the league. He can be said to be the top tool in the Middle Zodiac. The third player in the young generation is the most leading, big heart, and the Bobcats player Sheldon Lee, who is most valued by Boss Qiao...
This is the core lineup of the Bobcats.
When Lao Ai came, he was also worried about how to get along with a thorny head like Lao Ai, how to adjust the tactics, and how to maximize the role of the answers in his old age.
Later, he found that the troubles and other things were redundant, and Lao Ai was adapted to this bobcat!
He did nothing and told Lao Ai: Go on the court and use your singles to help the team score.
Then occasionally remind me: pass the ball!
The Bobcats' offense survived and their grades improved.
This time it's different. Sharks are the center and need tactical support.
Moreover, this shark is not ordinary. It is a twilight shark. Many of the peak shark's killer moves have been almost lost. Now there is only one who turns at the basket and is almost hooked.
Looking at the tactical board, Sam Vincent thought about it for a long time and figured out two singles tactics.
"The low-level singles and waist position can be used to match the pass and cut."
Sam Vincent's idea is still very beautiful. The low-post singles are one of the few offensive styles that can be combined with turning around and hooking at the basket.
The combination of the pass and cut of the waist is right for Li Ke and Lao Ai. Li Ke who cuts the ball without the ball, Lao Ai who breaks through with the ball, and Lao Sha who supports the pick and roll of the waist, this is linked to it.
With the close-frame eating pancakes, Lao Sha definitely has many opportunities.
The remaining question is whether Lao Sha is willing to give Li Ke or Lao Ai a pick-and-roll.
Speaking of which, the two generations of American centers who have dominated the penalty area are both the kind of people who are unwilling to do dirty work and tiring work.
The Shark occasionally gave Kobe to two, and Wade blocked two, Howard was so angry that even Kobe and Harden could not let him take out the pick-and-roll cover in a very convincing manner.
The pick-and-roll question tests Sam Vincent, but Sam Vincent thought for a moment and then called Boss Joe very alone.
...
In the apartment training hall, Li Ke practiced the God's back beat. The D-level back beat he copied on the eve of the Christmas War. After practicing for two months, he had no sign of progress.
Li Ke understood that this is the level of God’s skill level that is too high. God’s back hit is not an ordinary back hit.
Even if he is only at level D, he can support Li Ke in daily back-to-back attacks with some average single defense opponents.
Practicing to level C and level B may be enough for Li Ke at this stage to use.
But the problem is, it doesn't rise!
"It's still too high, what does this mean? It means that in the early stage of skill replication, we still need to find some simpler star players, such as Jiba, who is very good, and Curry may be good..."
Relying on Tim Graver, Li Ke turned over and threw himself into a clang.
No comments from Boss Qiao came from his ears.
Yes, yes, Boss Qiao is there too.
But when Li Ke turned over and threw the ball, Boss Qiao answered the phone.
After Li Ke made three or two back-to-back jump shots in succession, Boss Qiao also came back, commented in one sentence:
"The fake move of turning over is too unobvious. The opponent will not give you too much space. At this time, you must add a step back. This is training. Your movement should be slower and get the details in place..."
Li Ke threw a ok gesture, turned his back and prepared to do another one.
But Boss Qiao didn't stop talking and directly mentioned the phone call he had just received:
"Sam just called me, and he prepared two sets of conventional tactics for Shaq, one set to pull up the low-level singles, and the other set to do wall pick-and-roll cover and support..."
"Wait, Shaq has support?"
Li Ke also stopped. He didn't think about why Lao Qiao wanted to mention the team's tactics to him. The question in his mind was that, can Sharks, a traditional big center forward, still support him?
Boss Qiao nodded: "Of course he has support. Phil's triangular attack requires a big man to support the attack."
Li Ke slapped his forehead, and he forgot about this.
"The question now is whether Shaq is willing to make a wall for you and Aaron's pick-and-roll."
Li Ke rolled his eyes: "The question should be whether Shaq is willing to do pick-and-roll screening and pass and cut these dirty and tiring tasks for Sam, right?"
Boss Qiao showed a helpless smile. At this time, he realized that he had chosen the wrong choice of handsome men. Sam Vincent, who should not have chosen a rookie, could not be more rookie.
With the answer and the arrival of the shark, the bobcat gradually became starry-catching. Sam Vincent, the rookie coach, was indeed a little uncontrollable.
But change the coach?
Boss Qiao shook his head secretly. Even if he wanted to change, he shouldn't take action in the final stage of the regular season. Sam Vincent was well-trained, so why should he change it? For what reason?
If you want to change, it will be the end of this season. If the playoffs fail to meet expectations, the best reason for changing coaches is.
After excluding the idea of changing the coach, Boss Qiao threw the problem to Li Ke: "Tell me what you have, right?"
"I don't have any ideas. Take one step at a time. You have to try first. If you don't try, you will get the conclusion that Shaq is unwilling to cover the pick-and-roll to pass and cut. That's wrong!"
Li Ke pointed out the mistakes of Boss Qiao and Sam Vincent, "When Shaq really shows his attitude of not willing to make a wall for me and Alan pick-and-roll, then it is time for you to take action, boss."
"I?"
"That's right, you, Michael Jordan, the God of Basketball, at that time, you should play and tell Shaq how to play basketball in his late years so that he won't be ruined."
Seeing Boss Qiao nodding hesitantly, Li Ke added: "For Allen, the truth is the same, but the method is different."
It is difficult to deal with a thorn player, but if the right medicine is given, it will be no big problem.
Lao Ai is a thorny outside the court, spending money like a dirt, and is straight-hearted and quick-talking, causing a lot of trouble, but his only request on the court is: starter.
Of course, in addition to starting, Lao Ai also needs a core position.
So, now, the bobcat satisfied Lao Ai, so Lao Ai continued to fight.
Old Shark is different again. Old Shark has a high emotional intelligence and will not be fond of others outside the field. The problem is inside the field.
The field here includes training grounds and competition grounds, training grounds, old sharks are lazy and grinding workers, but this is not a big problem.
He is 36, so you can't expect him to train more with high intensity. If he can practice something new, he will meet the requirements of the Bobcat.
Boss Qiao was a little unconfident. This time, Li Ke was not needed. Tim Graver directly reminded him: "Michael, think about how you dealt with Dennis Rodman back then!"
Old Qiao immediately became confident. Yes, he even surrendered the flower insect Rodman back then. What is a shark with less thorn attribute?
Li Ke couldn't help but add another sentence, correcting Graver's mistake: "Wrong, Tim, the boss can't use his way to deal with Dennis Rodman to deal with Shaq and Allen. He was a player at that time, but he is now the management team. He has to think about how Phil Jackson deals with such a thorny player."
How did Zen masters deal with Rodman and the shark?
For Rodman, the Zen master's weapon is respect. He will not interfere with Rodman's off-field chores. Even on the field, the Zen master always encourages Rodman and rarely scolds him.
For sharks, the Zen master's weapon is tolerate. He tolerate sharks being late or even absent in training. He tolerate sharks finding a reason to quit from time to time. His request for sharks is that you can relax in normal times, but at the critical moment, you have to take the lead.
Of course, the Shark is not that thorny either. Just look at him in the Heat, training and other things are honest, because Pat Riley doesn't like him.
This tells why Li Ke thought that Boss Qiao should come forward.
Whether it is Sam Vincent or himself, he is not well-known enough to be able to subdue Lao Ai and Lao Shark.
But Bobcat has Boss Qiao, who is the status of Boss Qiao. He said he was the first, but no one dared to say second...
...
The next day, Li Ke arrived at the Bobcat Training Hall 10 minutes early as usual.
Some teammates were already sitting in the locker room, and they greeted each other very well.
"Hey, Gerald, today is your earliest."
"Jared, look at your dark circles, I went to fk again last night �
"How about it, Dai Quinn, are you still used to it?"
Finally, there was the new arrival of Dai Quinn Cook. He stretched out his fist and ran into Li Ke: "It's okay, the distance between Charlotte and Miami is not very far."
"I'm talking about your new teammates, which should be different from the teammates you are in Miami, right?"
"Actually, it's about the same..."
Dai Quin Cook scratched his head awkwardly. At this time, Lao Du came over and hugged Dai Quin Cook's shoulder: "No, we are definitely different from the Heat. You just came, and you will understand soon."
Old Du showed a lewd smile, and Li Ke hammered the guy: "Don't take Dai Quinn badly, he's just a rookie."
"It seems like anyone is not a rookie!"
“…”
Sam Vincent was pinching the point and stood in the middle of the locker room, and he swept around.
"Why are there only 12?"
In the first second, he was sure that there was no such huge guy in the locker room: "Why haven't Shaq come yet?"
No one gave him an answer, but Dai Quinn Cook was hesitant and wanted to say: Shaq was often late in Miami.
Then in the second second, Sam Vincent found another late player: "Where is Smush? Why didn't he arrive?"
Then he directed the coach Xiao Gouba behind him: "Call, Gouba, the others go to the court, it's time for us to start training."
On the first day of training, Lao Sha was late. About half an hour later, he pushed the door open slowly.
Then Sam Vincent questioned: "Shake, you're half an hour late, I need an explanation."
Lao Sha was spreading his hands a little, "I never explain to anyone to be late for training."
Then, Sam Vincent's gaze became deeper. Instead of continuing to question, he told the old shark without doubt: "You are half an hour late. According to the Bobcat's rules, you have to jog around the court at a constant speed for half an hour."
The old shark also simply nodded: "Okay!"
Then he shook his body full of fat and ran around the court.
Sam Vincent's voice continued to fill the training hall: "Gou Ba, ask Smush Parker, why hasn't he arrived yet!"
He was very angry, but he also had reason to get angry. He thought that the four players from Miami would be the stinger. As a result, a small Smush Parker also wanted to challenge his authority.
After more than an hour, Smush Parker arrived in a drunken state, and Sam Vincent made a decision.
"Smush, you're over an hour late, rounding it up, counting two hours. In the morning, your training is to run around for two hours in a circle, at a constant speed, and no rest is allowed..."
Then, Sam Vincent turned around: "In addition, I announced that from now on, anyone who is late for training will be suspended from the team for one game, starting with Shaq and Smush!"
On the training ground, the jogging ended and the free training sharks were having fun.
I'm going to be suspended if I'm late for training? That's amazing!
Li Ke's expression was also very strange, and he was even a little constipated. Sam, Sam, move your brain!
If you are late for training, you will be suspended. Isn’t this shark worthy of selective play?
Sam Vincent was really unwitting this time. He didn't realize this, and he decided to finalize the punishment rule with certainty.
...
The Sharks' first game in the Bobcats, he did not play away against the Wizards.
Sam Vincent's response was: "He still needs to adjust."
The shark, who was happy to adjust, didn't even go to Washington, and sat at home and watched the game that was supposed to be his Bobcats' debut.
Without the Sharks, the Bobcats' starting center can only use Steven Hunter.
Despite this, relying on Li Ke to lock Arenas, Lao Ai scored 33 points, and the Bobcats still won the game.
Lao Ai, who scored 33 points, was very excited. He felt that his team's status as the boss in this battle was unshakable.
Li Ke told Lao Ai: "Don't fight against the enemy in that void. Shaq has long been no longer interested in the boss's position..."
Lao Ai didn't believe it, so what did he say: Didn't he leave the Lakers because of the boss' position that he had a conflict with Kobe?
As a result, when he returned to Charlotte, on the first training day after the away game, Lao Shark was late again...
Old Ai believed Li Ke, and with this attitude, he still competed for the boss? It’s not his turn to the third brother!
Both of them were happy when Hua Lao Er and Li Lao San returned to their posts.
The fourth son of Shark was also happy. He had already forced Sam Vincent to a dead end, suspended the game, continued, who was afraid of who.
Sam Vincent finally reacted.
Looking at the old shark who was half an hour late but still very bachelor, he announced: "Round up to two hours late, and jog in circles for four hours..."
Old Shark:???
"Don't have so many question marks, this is your second time late, so the penalty is doubled!"
Old Shark or:???
The reason for his question mark is: Why did he round for two hours???
Despite this, the old shark still jogged honestly.
After running for half an hour, he reacted: "No, what about the ban?"
Suspension? It's dead!
Even if Sam Vincent wants to bite the bullet and ban the old Shark, it will be very difficult, because in the next two games, the Bobcats' opponents are the Celtics and the Lakers, two highlights.
Especially in the game against the Lakers, the Sharks vs. the Old Master, and the Bobcats' home game.
Boss Joe said he had to see the sharks on the field at Time Warner Center.
Although there was a Celtic race between them, Kobe's text message had already arrived at Li Ke's text box-
"Tell Shaq that fat man, I'll buckle the top of his head in the next game!"
Then a moment later, the second one—
"Tell Allen that I will defend him personally in the next game!"
After a moment, the third one—
"And you, Sheldon, Luke and Derek are not worthy of your defense. Your opponent can only be me on the defensive end!"
Li Ke replied: "I will tell Aaron, Shaq, you'd better tell him personally, and why are every text message you have so short?"
...
On the 24th, the Bobcats played against the Celtics at home, and the Old Shark made his Bobcats debut.
Tnt TV temporarily adjusted its broadcasting plan, and included this game and the next game in the ranks of live broadcasts across the United States.
Then, before this game, they played a spliced picture.
From left to right, the young shark wearing a dark blue magic jersey, the peak shark wearing a purple and gold Lakers jersey, the peak tail shark wearing a red heat jersey, and the twilight shark wearing a shit yellow bobcat jersey...
"This is the fourth team Shaq played for his career. Here, he welcomed a brand new partner - Allen Iverson, Sheldon Lee and Gerald Wallace. No one knows what kind of sparks this Bobcats with various elements combined together can create. This game and the next game may give us a preliminary answer."
In this game, the Bobcats' opponent is the league's number one.
In the next game, the Bobcats' opponent is No. 1 in the West.
Although both regular seasons are available, the value of these two games is definitely high enough, and it is indeed a test for the Bobcats.
The game started soon, and the old Shark soon received the ball under the deliberate behavior of the Bobcats, turned around and dunked.
This is a good start for the old shark.
But for the Bobcats, this battle with the Celtics ended in losing.
Without the beeps of the race Cavaliers in North Shore Garden, Li Ke played very casually. Under Tony Allen's defense, he made a 5-for-14 shot and scored only 14 points.
Lao Ai is very stable, making 10 of 22 shots, scoring the team's highest 25 points, and there are 7 assists. He will definitely not allow the boss's position.
Although Old Shark's Bobcats' debut started with a dunk, he only made 11 shots in total, scoring 6, scoring 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Hua Er's performance was not very good, with only 7 of 17 shots, scoring 16 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Very versatile and worthy of being the strongest tool man.
But facing Lu Kai's overall steel and concrete defense, his offensive performance also made him feel a little nervous.
Without the bonus of "anger" trait, Li Ke lost to the Celtics, who had a stronger overall strength.
Chapter completed!
