The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 293 [Preseason, no one can stay]

The Clippers' training is still the same, with groups against each other and then singled out.

Ye Feng seldom played in group matches, and mainly studied new surmounting skills under the guidance of "Ladder" Jackson.Jackson likes to study fake moves very much. He also played regular college basketball back then, and he still has a fresh memory of the official rules.He knows how to slightly modify some street ball moves into tricks that can be used in the league.

Jackson is working harder than last season.When the Clippers won the championship, he not only received a large bonus, but also a championship ring.According to NBA regulations, assistant coaches also have rings.There are not many people who have never played in the NBA but got a ring. There are not many people as lucky as him.

In addition, since Jackson joined the Clippers coaching staff, he has been training with him. His weight has dropped, his waist is not sore, his legs are not hurting, and he has no trouble going up to the fifth floor in one breath. In 2011, it is estimated that there will be no death at home.

Jackson believes that Ye Feng's strength still has room for improvement. As long as he masters more surreptitious skills and strengthens his breakthrough, he can become stronger. His jump shot is not good at blocking shots. Got it?However, it was relatively easier for Ye Feng to start from the head coach low-post footsteps.

The rookies also go heads-up every day. Yi Jianlian performed well in training. Not only can he beat Cook easily, but he can also fight against Gortat and McGee. There must be a place for him in the team.The marginal man Hayes was replaced by a sixth-round rookie, and the coaching staff was very satisfied with him, and it felt like a big deal.In running and bombing tactics, Yi Jianlian can play a role, and his speed is not slower than McGee.

And his biggest advantage is fixed-point shooting. If O'Neal is in the low post and Yi Jianlian picks and rolls outside, it is easy to play a role.Even for the current O'Neal, if he plays hard for a few minutes, not many people can guard against him. He is too heavy, and he is very strong in the low position.At this time, Yi Jianlian is on the outside, so he can cover for Thornton and let him attack with the ball. His teammates attract the help defense, and Yi Jianlian can also get an open shot.His open three-pointers are sure, especially at the top of the arc.When he was in the Nets, he and Lopez partnered like this, one inside and one outside.

Channing Frye of the Suns and Bonner of the Spurs all play this way. Yi Jianlian is no worse than them in withdrawing the inside line and fast break ability. The Suns just completed a five-year 5 million contract extension with Frye in the summer. The substitute is fully qualified.

Jeremy Lin can’t do it. The training camp has started for three days. Not only the coaching staff, but even Ye Feng thinks he is seriously overrated. No wonder the Warriors manager said that Jeremy Lin has no regrets about laying off Jeremy Lin. He has no ball. It is difficult for Quan to find an offensive rhythm, his passing is too poor, and there are basically no three-pointers from the outside.What Thibodeau wants is someone who can hit spot-up shots, especially three-pointers. Such a person can easily cooperate with Ye Feng, and the team will never have too many three-pointers.

In addition, in terms of heads-up and defense, Jeremy Lin is not as good as Crittenton.

Thibodeau thinks that Crittenton is good, and his height of 196cm has an innate advantage in confrontation. However, before the start of the preseason, Crittenton wanted to gamble with his teammates in the locker room and made some troubles. It made the coaching staff feel disgusted, and after the preseason, they were ready to let him go without thinking about it.

On October 10, the preseason kicked off.The Clippers played away against the Trail Blazers.

The Clippers lost the first game 95 to 108.Both Ye Feng and Smith only played for a while, looking for their feelings.Curry and Love were tired after playing in the World Championships, and they only played symbolically.Veterans O'Neal and Kidd don't need to participate in the preseason games, and the main players don't play. Substitutes Tony Allen and Barnes don't need to prove anything. They don't have much playing time, and Thibodeau has given enough opportunities for rookies.

Marcus Thornton is the biggest player of the Clippers in the preseason, so of course he can't beat the Blazers who are all the main players.

On October 10, the Clippers defeated the Kings. Only Evans, Cousins, and Landry played well in the Kings. Omi Casspi, who made people shine last season, was in a sluggish state.He was touted very much, he didn't practice during the holidays, and his technical level did not improve but retreated.

On the 9th, the Clippers lost back to back to the Warriors.The Warriors let go of a group of people and only brought in David Lee, which is weaker than before.But the backcourt combination of Lowry and Ellis still crushed the Clippers off the bench, winning 127 to 87 by 40 points.

林书豪打了18分钟，得到2分2篮板1助攻2失误。易建联也很糟糕，上场21分钟，7分4篮板。

Yi Jianlian's psychological quality is the biggest problem affecting his progress. When he is on the court, he can only perform at [-]% to [-]% of his training level. His shots are not accurate and his movements are stiff. When the opponent breaks through, he will be frightened. like.

In this year's World Championships, he averaged 20.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, ranked fifth in scoring and first in rebounds, and performed better than many NBA stars.In the Chinese team, he is the boss, so his self-confidence has improved. Now he is not the core, playing as a role player, so he can't find his position.If the psychological problems are not resolved, Yi Jianlian will become a star in the NBA, and he will have no chance in this life.He should make it a goal to be a good role player.

After that, the Clippers lost to the Nuggets twice and lost to the Spurs.They defeated the king in the last game, and finally found some confidence in the underdog.

The Clippers had 2 wins and 5 losses in the preseason, and their record was terrible.The biggest highlight is Dorell Wright, who averaged 14 points per game and hit 3-pointers per game.Thibodeau is very happy. After being excluded from the playoff list last season, Wright finally made up his mind to exercise and made obvious progress.

And those newcomers who came to the trial training were so poor that it was unbearable, and they had no effect at all.

Brian Cook can also evacuate the inside, but he can't do anything except three-pointers and pick-and-rolls, air-level defense.Jeremy Lin is a pure blacksmith, shooting 37% from the field, has no rebounds or assists, and his defense often gambles on steals.The others were even worse, plus Tritanton, who was definitely out, none of them qualified.

After the playoffs, the coaching staff had a meeting, and Thibodeau said: "Let's discuss it now. Who should be kept? I don't think anyone else should sign except Yi Jianlian. It doesn't fit the system at all."

Others immediately agreed.Yi Jianlian didn't play well in the preseason, but in the regular season, someone attracted double-teams and got easy shots, so he will definitely be better.

Holding this meeting is actually to let Ye Feng express his opinion, after all Jeremy Lin was recommended by him.Ye Feng didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "That's how it is, but we only have 13 players in the lineup, do we need to introduce other players?"

Thibodeau smiled and said: "No, if someone is injured during the season, find a player with a short contract of 10 days to cover it. If there are fewer players, fill in the position. Even with the current lineup, there must be one on the injured list." inside."

Ye Feng nodded. There is no shortage of players in the team, and it would be a waste to choose another one. It's better to wait until then to find a player with a short contract of 10 days.

In this way, the Clippers' lineup for the regular season in the new season has been determined. It is still 13 people before the start of the training camp. Jeremy Lin was very happy and was out again.Whether it will explode again suddenly, no one knows.

When the media reported on the Clippers' preseason games, they didn't say they were getting worse, only that the Clippers didn't take the preseason games seriously and focused on newcomers.

To say that the preseason was poor, the Lakers were much worse.Not only did they lose to teams such as the Timberwolves and Bulls at home, they went to Spain to play friendly matches, and they also lost to Barcelona twice.

In the first game, Barcelona gave the Lakers a head-on blow, played beautiful team basketball, and took the lead to win the game.However, judging from the whole game, it is more meaningful to Barcelona. The Lakers are completely like playing a game.

In the second game, the Lakers felt ashamed and took it seriously. Kobe played more time and played 25 minutes, but only made 15 of 2 shots and scored 15 points.Paul. Gasol scored 25 points and 10 rebounds, Derek. Fisher and Lamar. Odom each had 12 points, Ron. Artest 10 points.The Lakers missed all 14 three-pointers.

Barcelona played very tenaciously, and they made a total of 12 three-pointers.Pete Mikel scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, Juan Navarro scored 25 points, Terrence Morris made 4 three-pointers and contributed 12 points.The only one who played abnormally was Ricky Rubio, who missed all 5 shots and scored no points.

The Spaniard finally defeated the Lakers 92 to 88 with excellent team strength.

After ending their trip to Europe with a two-game losing streak, what people remember most about Barcelona is an unknown teenager Pete Mikel, who scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and With 7 assists, the limelight completely overshadowed Kobe.Moreover, he had no sense of inferiority when facing Kobe, did not give the best player in the active NBA any face, and exchanged trash talk with Kobe during the game.After the game, Kobe was humiliated in the blog...

Mikel wrote some opinions in his blog, he believes that his team is fully capable of playing 82 games in the NBA.And when Ye Feng played in Spain last year, he gave the same evaluation.Mikel also said that Barcelona actually prefers to play against the Clippers, which is a contest between the best team in Europe and the best team in the NBA.

When referring to Kobe, Mikel said: "Obviously Kobe still respects Barcelona very much, because he played 25 minutes of the game. But he is not playing team basketball, but individual performances. He doesn't pass the ball very much. Playing a lot of one-on-ones, it’s a different kind of basketball than we are. The NBA is great, it’s a great league, but it’s in Europe and the basketball here is great as well.”

In addition, Mikel also revealed some of the contents of the trash talk between him and Kobe on the day of the game. "Kobe said to me, 'Hey, this game might get you into the NBA, so you better be smart!' I said to him, 'If you think that's the case, I'll bet you $1 million. Bet your [-] million.'”

The verbal battle between the teenager and Kobe made people remember his name, and at the same time the Lakers were "slapped in the face".Some media said that the Lakers lost the face of the NBA in Europe. If the Clippers went, the situation would be completely different.

The new season has not yet started, and the Lakers' evaluation is one level lower, and they are not at the same level as the Clippers.This made the Lakers fans even less confident. In the first opener, Los Angeles will play a city battle again. How can the Lakers win?
