The Rest, Only Noise

He could clearly feel Kobe's resentment. He felt that he was being targeted, which is why the yellow team lost.

What a burst of self-confidence, why did he think that if he gave him the ball, the yellow team would win?

Could it be that he thought his strength could already compete with Benj?

The question in Louis's mind was not a real question.

He's really concerned about Kobe's current status on the team.

For rookies, fitting into a new team is a big deal.

If the integration is not good, it may be as helpless and incompetent as Liu Yuqing's rookie season.

After the match is over, the players regroup.

"What you need to know is that the outcome of the match is not important to the coaching staff, so when you lose the game, don't be discouraged, we focus on your performance in the process, not the final result. ."

"Overall, I'm happy with the game, you all showed your character, keep working hard."

"Next, Coach Nelson will take you to your first training session."

After Louis finished the training, he told Nelson a few more words: "On the first day, don't let them run 'Meteor', run some simple tactics, and if possible, give Kobe a few words."

"Does that kid still need my guidance? His face is going to be thrown into the sky, only Benjamin is in his eyes!" Nelson said angrily.

Later, Louie returned to the office with Bird, Kareem, and Stevens.

The Lakers' coaching staff is very luxurious. In addition to full-time interior coaches like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, there are developmental coaches like Bird and Stevens.

Louie needs to ask the players for their opinion on the development of the players.

"Do you have any thoughts on those rookies?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the first to speak, and he said bitterly: "Tell Ben Wallace he will never learn the skyhook, his only way out is to study with Charles [Buck Williams (1)], he will never Will develop into an offensive big man because his talent is so poor."

"Where's Malik Rose?" Louis asked.

"It's okay." Kareem thought for a long time before he could say a good word, "He's quite positive."

"Okay, Karim, you can go now."

Louie didn't even plan to develop Big Ben and Rose's offense.

Because of the lack of talent in Daben, in order to stand on the inside, he must practice a steel body in the power room.

If you expect such a person to have offensive ability, you are living in a sci-fi world, that is impossible, he just needs to eat the bread and understand.

Rose's words are just like what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said. As a power forward with no talent advantage, he plays hard, has good athletic ability, and is full of energy on the court.

The word positive can sum up his performance.

Such a player is destined to be a piece of the puzzle on the bench, bringing positive energy to the team, and don't expect things beyond his ability and talent.

"Alex, tell me what you think."

With Bird present, Stevens was embarrassed to share his opinion, "Why don't Larry speak first?"

"What are you making a fuss about?" Bird asked.

"Okay, let the hillbilly speak first."

Louis' "favor" to Stevens is evident.

Bird rolled his eyes at the eccentric bastard, then said, "Steve Nash is pretty good, or he's better than he can imagine."

"Oh?" Louie asked. "Is it that good?"

Bird talked about Nash, just like You Tanzhi did to A Zi, "I won't talk about his shortcomings, you all know. I think he is the best player in the team's point guard instinct. In the match just now, when he was on the court, the yellow team's offense was very smooth, he was able to find fleeting opportunities and pass the ball. Moreover, his shooting touch was very smooth, and he was a natural shooter. Although his explosiveness was not good, The change of direction is huge and the rhythm is good, but unfortunately his playing time is too short, otherwise he should have seen more advantages."

Louie laughed at himself: "Sounds like we could pretend we picked Steve with the seventh pick?"

Bird smiled and nodded: "If Kobe couldn't fulfill his talent because of being pushed out of his teammates a few years later, and eventually faded out of the league and became a bust, you can comfort yourself like this."

"Aren't you so optimistic about Kobe?"

Louie didn't expect Bird to dislike Kobe.

In his impression, Bird also said in an exclusive interview with Tekemi Bill Simmons after he retired that Kobe was the active player he most wanted to partner with.

"It's not that I don't like him." Bird put it another way, "I don't believe him. I don't believe that players with this character can survive in the NBA. High school is his paradise, and the NBA is a primitive jungle. Here The law of competition is cruel, no one will treat him like a high school student, if he still looks above his head and treats his teammates other than Benjamin as a display, his ambitions are destined to be illusory."

character?

Is Kobe a bad character? He's just paranoid.

This is also the reason why Louis is confident in transforming Kobe.

A Kobe Bryant who aspires to be a hero and often isolates his team can drive Zen Master crazy.

This is bad paranoia, he only believes in himself.

But if Louis can turn his ideas around and make him believe in another philosophy, is his paranoia still a flaw?

He will defend his philosophy of the game to the death.

"You said a lot about Kobe's character, but what about his skills?" Louie asked. "Don't you have any advice?"

"His technique has nothing to say, it's great."

Bird emphasized: "He only has three problems. Bad character, desire to be taller than the sky, desire to be deeper than the ocean, and ego's tendency to play."

"Larry, he's not a bad character," said Louie lightly. "It's not a bad thing to have desires. If he's doing nothing all day like Glenn Robinson's shameful salted fish, then I'm going to have a headache. He's the only one. The problem is the tendency of the game."

Bird said: "I think it's his character and his desire to create his game tendencies."

"No, it has nothing to do with character and desire, the inclination of the game is a style, that's what he's used to play since he played, you can't say it's an add-on to character and desire, like you're a stingy hillbilly, but you Not stingy on the field.”

"QNMD!"

After Bird broke the defense, Louie looked at Stevens: "Alex, it's your turn."

Alex didn't expect Louis to follow the routine and asked, "Coach, won't you let Larry retire?"

"Why should I step back? What are you shy about?" Bird snorted, "Speak straight!"

It was really stressful for Stevens to express his shallow opinion in front of the two GOATs.

"I think Big Ben will be a very good defender. His defensive performance in the confrontation game is impeccable, there is not a single wrong judgment in the whole game, nor a bad defense, and even the card position at the basket is very well done. ."

"Malek has more energy than he is smart enough. He needs to learn to read the opponent's attack and positioning."

"Kobe is a typical high school player. The only defense he is good at is one-on-one defense~www.novelmt.com~ But his physical confrontation and experience, as well as his defensive skills limited to high school level, make it difficult for him to become an NBA player in the short term. At the same time, he is extremely inexperienced in teamwork, does not know how to use his teammates to improve his defensive power, and does not participate in all necessary tasks such as assisting defense, rotation, and supplementary defense. In his eyes, only Benj, But his defense against Benj was also a disaster."

Stevens criticized Kobe's defense for 10 minutes, and Louie wanted to pour him a glass of water.

"So, what about Steve?"

It took 10 minutes to criticize Kobe Bryant's defense, and if Nash didn't spend an hour, Louie didn't approve it very much.

"Steve? He's dead, give it up, he can't even be a good defender."

After Stevens finished speaking, he looked nervously at Louie and Bird.

He wondered if his speech had gone too far.

Unexpectedly, Louis and Bird looked at each other and laughed.

"Alex, it was the best decision I made this summer to ask you to join the coaching staff." Louie said with emotion.

Bird recognized Stevens in another way, "As expected from New York, I played with the Knicks back then, and you were the last person I wanted to face off against."

Would he have protested excitedly if Benj was there?

Louis thought.

⑴ Buck Williams' "Buck" is actually a nickname, his full name is Charles Linwood Williams (CharlesLinwoodWilliams). Many talented young players are called Bucks when they first enter the league, but only a few have retained the nickname.
