Pick Westbrook

Chapter 10 The big core of holding the ball (please recommend)
"I see."

After accepting all the information, Li Lai nodded frequently.

The conditions for conferring gods given by this system are very harsh, because in history, there are not many who can get 8 of these 4 honors.

It's just that Westbrook in the future is also one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history. For him, some of these awards are basically soft hands, so it makes people feel a little easier in comparison.

"I still have confidence in helping Westbrook win these awards."

Of course, from Lee's point of view, Westbrook should have had higher grades, at least on the same level as his third brother Harden.

It's just because Westbrook's outside shooting is too unstable, and his playing style is often criticized as like two villains fighting in his mind, one villain is called pass and the other villain is called shooting.

In terms of passing shots, attacking himself and helping his teammates to attack, Westbrook's changes and on-the-spot choices are often not so reliable.

"So even with Westbrook's original growth trajectory, he will still be an NBA historical superstar and league triple-double king in the future, but I still have to change some of his playing problems and bad habits from the beginning."

Li Lai faintly felt that the cultivation of the Conferred Gods was not that simple, at least not even the rewards for the Empress Conferred Gods, so he could only explore slowly in the future.

Seeing Li Lai laughing while looking at himself, Westbrook couldn't help but tighten his legs and startled a wit.

"What the hell is the Bucks!"

.........

There are still two days before the start of the summer league. The first thing Li Lai needs to confirm with the players is the team's style of play and tactics.

The summer league is not like the regular season. The original intention is to allow young players to adapt to the intensity and rhythm of NBA players before entering the professional arena of the NBA.

The NBA is really different from the college league!
This arrangement can also greatly prevent rookies from successfully hitting the rookie wall in their first season in the NBA. Of course, even so, there are not a few people who hit the wall.

"The recent reviews are not very friendly to the Bucks, and I admit that there are indeed some problems in the Bucks.

But those guys dared to say that the trades I made and the players I picked were not good, I wouldn't admit it to death! "

Li Lai took a deep breath and looked at the big players in front of him, and said frankly.

"Among the players I'm looking at, there will be superstars in NBA history in the future, and some will be considered the top five picks in NBA history, All-Star players, Most Improved Players, and countless teams. Willing to be the first to strengthen the championship puzzle in the off-season..."

When Li Lai spoke, his eyes swept over one by one.

Westbrook clenched his fists tightly when he heard his blood surging. He had a vague feeling that the coach Li Lai mentioned that he might become a superstar in the future is him!
Dragic's eyes are full of admiration.

He was not ranked high in the draft. Even before the draft, many scouts thought he would lose the draft. Now that he has finally entered the NBA as he wished, all he has to do is to counterattack and change his fate.

"As expected of a coach that even I admire, what you said is really good."

George Hill opened his copper-bell-sized eyes and pursed his mouth. He felt good about himself and said, "Coach, is that the superstar you're talking about me?"

Li Lian continued to the others: "I know that many of you are working hard for the next contract, and there are even some who just want to realize their dream of playing in the NBA once and entering an NBA team.

I can't promise you anything, but as you all know, I am the owner of the Bucks and the only one who speaks.

As long as you perform well in the summer league, I will not hesitate to offer a contract to those who are willing to work hard. "

Hammond covered his face while listening.

"This guy is really arrogant!"

Austin Crosher, Anima Brown, power forward Teino II, center Garrison Robinson, shooting guard Andre Ingram... After hearing this sentence, their eyes shone with hope.

They found that Li Lai's coach was really different, at least it was far from the rumored comment that he would eat and wait to die.

Li Lai went on to say frankly that the goal of the Bucks in the summer league is not exactly the same as that of other teams. They not only want to help young players adapt to the NBA as soon as possible, but also win the game!
Winning is the main purpose of their summer league.

After reviewing all the players present, Li Lai also gave the main tactics and offensive focus of the Bucks in the summer league.

Westbrook will become the core of the Bucks holding the ball!

During this period, the NBA has not yet said that there is a big core with the ball, and it is difficult to see players who play like this on the court.

To put it simply, one person holds the ball to control all the team's offense, which is completely different from the traditional point guard's main purpose of holding the ball to sort out the team's overall offense.

This requires the player in possession of the ball to have a strong ability to independently score and attract double-teams, and at the same time have a good passing foundation, so that the team's overall offense will not completely stagnate when being targeted by double-teams.

For example, James, Doncic, Harden and others in the future, as well as Westbrook in front of Li Lai, are all iconic figures in the big core play with the ball.

And this kind of big core play with the ball will completely subvert the top offensive and defensive core system created by strong individuals such as Jordan and Kobe in the future, and become the most terrifying stadium killer in future generations.

For this new style of play that suddenly appeared, everyone present was not interested or alerted. They only thought it was a random move to thoroughly cultivate the rookie Westbrook.

Could it be that he really wants to rely on this style of play to become the mainstream of the world?

But after Li Lai went on to say that the team's next tactics will be fast, and the offensive focus will be on outside three-pointers and basket attacks, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and couldn't hide the shock in their hearts.

"How can you fight like this!"

"Mid-range shooting is the weapon of attack. How can a three-pointer kill someone!"

"We won't be beaten all over the floor by the opponent in the first game."

"Coach, this style of play is not good. No team in the NBA dares to play like this."

Although these players were not optimistic about the team's tactics arranged by Li Lai, they still had no choice but to implement them.

It's like, if you have an opinion, you can bring it up, and I won't listen to it anyway.

Of course, among the players, Li Lai clearly saw Villanueva, Andre Ingram, and Austin Crozier, and his eyes were full of stars after hearing this style of play.

They are all good at shooting three-pointers, and this tactic is very suitable for them.

Westbrook glanced at Li Lai in astonishment, because the tactics arranged by the opponent were also his favorite style of play.

"He won't really take a fancy to my abs!"

After the training started, Li Lai specially designed several breakthrough tactics and fast break tactics for the team.

Especially when setting up the tactic of slipping from the baseline without the ball to cover and go around the pick-and-roll, these players looked at Li Lai in obvious surprise.

"This tactic can't be set up by a hip-playing kid. He can really be the head coach!"
