The Rest, Only Noise

On September 16, the Lakers' Palm Springs training camp officially opened.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the players gathered in the gym.

In addition to the regular players who have signed contracts, there are also 8 free agents who are eager to enter the league.

The opening day is an iconic day. In addition to the coaching staff, Louie is surrounded by the owner Jerry Bass and all the key personnel of the Forum office building.

This morning, they came to the resort with the tragic master.

The tragic man is standing next to Wilson now. From the perspective of size, he is a circle bigger than other forwards. Looking at his physique, it is impossible to play a point guard, and a power forward is quite suitable.

Since they knew each other in the restaurant yesterday, Louie skipped the self-introduction and said frankly: "We are a brand new team, and the coaching staff will review everyone's ability, except Benj, no one's starting is Stable, you need to show me your strength in the training camp that lasts for more than half a month. Next, we will hold a 30-minute intra-team competition, which is the only event today. After the game, you can It's rested, so I want you to do your best. Remember, first impressions are important, and I don't think you want to give me a bad first impression either?"

After Louis finished speaking, he gave Carlisle and Budenholzer a look.

The Lakers' intra-team competition is usually divided into two teams: red and blue.

Carlisle leads the red team and Budenholzer leads the blue team.

"We are the Lakers, why are the training uniforms blue and red?" Ellis wanted to say, "Shouldn't it be purple and gold?"

Louis explained casually: "Golden jerseys don't look good."

"Purple is beautiful."

"What nonsense, do you want me to make a purple jersey for you on the spot?"

Ellis was silent, and Carlisle and Budenholzer chose players based on fairness.

Wilson didn't like red, so he had to go to the blue team.

With the Blues acquiring the superstar Wilson, the Reds have the right to choose three players first.

Carlisle chose Tragic, Ellis and Garnett.

"Rick, are you going to let our third flower boy play center?" Louis asked with a smile.

The tragic master said, "It's okay, I can play center."

Budenholzer immediately selected Laettner, Ostertag, and Tletter.

Carlisle and Budenholzer found out after the selection that the Lakers were really tough in the new season, and there seemed to be few useful players.

Subsequently, the red team won Derek Harper and Joe Klein, and the blue team could only accept Liu Yuqing and Benoit Benjamin.

Zhao Yuanzheng served as the referee for this game, but he said in advance: "I won't run around with you, so you'd better slow down the pace."

"It's time to lose weight, Coach Zhao." Bird said innuendo, "otherwise someone's today is your tomorrow."

"You motherfucker! ￥#%"

Louie found a problem. Since Bird retired, the two of them have been on the offensive and defensive.

When Louis was coaching Bird, why was he able to break the opponent's defense frequently?

Because Bird was only a player under him at the time. Since he was a player, his state would have ups and downs, and even Bird could not guarantee a good shot on the field.

As long as he doesn't behave well, Louie can talk about him.

But now, he's a coach, so it's hard for Louie to find a reason to attack him.

After the two sides were divided into teams, the starting lineup was soon set.

Red Team: Harper, Ellis, Garnett, Tragic, Klein.

Blue Team: Tlet, Liu Yuqing, Wilson, Laettner, Ostertag.

Finley and Benoit, one was neglected because they were too quiet, and the other was too fat to play against each other at the moment.

"Coach, what am I doing?"

Benoit Benjamin tried to impress Louis with a warm image.

However, there are many things in this world that can deceive people.

For example, people's hearts, appearance, brush data, J*V's cover, Xiang Nishino's acting, but fat can't fool people.

Basketball players, just like J*V's teachers, once changed, the audience who wanted to jump into the screen and kneel and lick them in the past will be able to notice the change.

Benoit's physique is as disappointing as Rin Okae after his comeback.

"Is it okay to run 10 kilometers on a treadmill?"

Louis asked.

Benoit said: "Coach, I have bad legs...I can't run for a long time."

"Would you like to stay in the gym for a while at the head office?"

"Coach, I'm born with magical powers..."

"Then just grab a basketball and shoot on the court next door."

"Okay, coach."

After that, the **** took a walk by the side holding the basketball, and when everyone's attention turned to the competition, he simply sat down and enjoyed the game from a distance.

At the beginning of the game, the point guards on both sides showed their style.

Harper's strength is surprising.

He's proven himself worthy of the Lakers' mid-level exception to sign him.

Louis looked at his Mavericks career from the perspective of a coach. In 11 years, he averaged 15 points, 6 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and the three shooting percentages were 47%/35%/75%.

He's been on the defense, but never an All-Star.

He's probably one of the ten best players in history who didn't make an All-Star team.

Even in the final years of his career, he still has a very threatening open shot, mature control and defense that hasn't diminished much with age.

He's like a weakened version of older Chris Paul.

The first offense of the red team was completed by Harper. After he called the pick-and-roll, he hit the free throw line and scored a pull-up jumper.

Wilson immediately said to Laettner: "Chris, if they call a pick-and-roll, you should always be ready to switch!"

In Houston, Laettner was the only one who treated his teammates harshly. Now, he has come to a team that even pays attention to defensive positions.

For a moment, Laettner felt like the hero of Notre Dame.

He was reborn.

The Blues' point guard Trait is a somewhat mediocre guard.

He has also been in the league for many years. When he was young, Trait did not have the team status of Harper in the Mavericks. He has always been a tramp and a mercenary. Whoever gives the contract will play for whomever, but the strength is just enough to reach the average level of the league.

The experience of wandering around made him understand a truth, follow the head dog to eat meat.

Benj is clearly the head dog of the Lakers.

Trait passed the ball to him after halftime.

Wilson took on Garnett.

"Jasmine, I really didn't expect us to be teammates," Wilson said to Garnett with the ball behind him.

Jasmine? Louis' mouth twitched.

"It seems to be Kevin's middle name." Nelson flipped through the roster, "Yes, KG's full name is Kevin Morris Garnett—Jasmine is his nickname."

Looking at the matchup between Wilson and Garnett, they seem to have known each other before.

"Ben, I won't be polite!"

Garnett off the court is a little heartless big boy, Garnett on the court is a beast.

When Louie found out that Wilson couldn't get rid of Garnett with his speed, it wasn't just him, but the hairs of the rest of the coaching staff stood up.

When we say that a player is slow and has poor defense, his fans will always jump out and attach GIFs to argue with reason. The straight line speed is as fast as the defender, what's the difference?

He might be pulling the bar, or he might not really understand what the speed needed on the defensive end means.

For insiders, the impressive speed is their lateral speed.

In the future, NBA scouts will refer to this advantage as the influence of vertical defense.

Lateral speed determines what size players can switch inside.

Wilson is already one of the most explosive small forwards in the league, and if Wilson can't get rid of him with speed, neither can anyone else.

What kind of talent is this?

"As far as I know, Danny Manning doesn't do that."

"What about Dennis Rodman? It was possible when I was younger, not now."

"Sean Camp? Impossible."

Louie and Nelson discussed while Wilson missed a shot under Garnett's defense.

Then there is the most impressive thing about Garnett.

He defended Wilson's offense from a high position, and suddenly, the motor nerves in his body burst out with unparalleled energy, as if returning to the basket in an instant, grabbing the backcourt rebound.

"Rookie!" Harper demanded the ball.

After that, that's where Garnett left a bad impression on the coaching staff.

Instead of returning the ball to Harper, he dribbled the ball all by himself.

When Louis at the time first met Sampson about 15 years ago, he thought he had the potential to become a bigger Greek monster. However, in those days, playing that way was deviant, so even Sampson had to start out as a full-time big man.

And Garnett has the condition to play that way from the start.

He can be a monster before the Greek monster.

But that was Louie's idea before he became a coach~www.novelmt.com~ Now Louie's understanding of basketball is no longer in the same dimension as he was 15 years ago.

Watching Garnett bring the ball to the frontcourt brilliantly, change direction like a guard, shake off Laettner's defense, and go all out to the basket and dunk Ostertag.

The tragic man rushed up excitedly and banged his chest.

Old Buss was pleasantly surprised to find that they had picked a treasure player.

And Louis, Bird, West, they all shook their heads gently.

"It's a mess."

Bird commented succinctly.
