Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 238 No leadership qualities?

The preseason of the 97-98 season started here, which also means that the fighting in the 98 season is about to start, and it is a new journey.

This summer, there were not many major turmoil in the league. Every team basically made minor repairs and did not make any major transactions.However, there are still a lot of expectations in the hearts of fans, that is, whether the Bulls, who were invincible last season, will win the championship again this season and win a three-peat.

In addition, can the Utah Jazz reach the finals again, fulfilling a dream in the hearts of Utah fans?

Of course, there are also two superstars in the league, Ling Yu and Allen.Can Iverson go one step further?And this year's champion Tim.Is Duncan riding the dust and winning all the rookie honors?

With these expectations, the fans have much more expectations for the new season. They can't wait for the regular season to start immediately, the playoffs will come tomorrow, and then, the finals will be played immediately.

However, this is of course impossible, but the coming of the preseason can more or less satisfy their eagerness.

Today, all the teams in the league started to fight, and the fans who supported them rushed to the arena with excitement, just to see what changes have happened to the teams they support this season, and whether they will be better than the previous ones. A season is more worth looking forward to and worth cheering for.

The fans of the Lakers are also in the same mood, so they arrived at the arena long ago, took the tickets bought by patting the long line, and walked into the arena one by one. The crowd was so crowded, the arena was crowded. Going to be crushed.

"Bryant, are we going to play the preseason game?" McGrady still can't believe it, because his mind is still full of summer vacation, himself and his partners, training with Ling Yu, and competing with Ling Yu, but , In a blink of an eye, all these things have become past tense, and the fiery October came just like this, and it came so quietly that Maddie wondered if he was dreaming, or if all of this was not real, but his own fantasy.

Ling Yu suddenly thought about it. He didn't expect that McGrady would be so excited. He really couldn't see it. This also made Ling Yu wonder, is this McGrady in front of him and that all-powerful McGrady who hit the bottom of the basket like no one?Or, this is just a counterfeit with the same name.

In addition to the appearance, Ling Yu will not doubt it, but Ling Yu's personality is still very suspicious. How can such a heart be the 35 seconds and 13 minutes of McGrady? It doesn't look like it at all.

However, Ling Yu is also clear that this is definitely McGrady, and the idea just now came up when he despises Maddie, that's all. If so, Mai Mi will not let him go.

It's just that McGrady's character is a little childish, think about it, he is only 18 years old now, just out of the protection circle of minors, naturally he will not be so calm.

"Don't believe it?" Ling Yu looked at Mai Di jokingly: "If you don't believe me, just hit yourself and see if it hurts."

McGrady froze, his face darkened for a moment, and he gave Ling Yu a blank look: "Take me for a fool, I'm just asking, do you really think I'm a fool?"

"You're not stupid, you still ask." Ling Yu rolled his eyes back. This guy was clearly looking for a fight. He knew it was true, and he came to ask, obviously because he was full and had nothing to do.

"Okay, the game is about to start, let's warm up first." Ling Yu looked at the players of his team warming up on the court, and gave McGrady a look, reminding him.

Maddie nodded: "Let's go too."

The outcome of the preseason doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with the ranking in the regular season, and the team mostly thinks of running-in, because in the summer, there are usually some signings, although not very big, but how to say They are all signings, and they have to run in with the original players to create a chemical reaction between them.

Of course, in addition to running in, some teams will also focus on training new tactics, as is the case with the current Lakers.

In this year's draft, the Lakers won Tracy McGrady, a talented player. Naturally, he should be more familiar with the Lakers' tactics, and then, Del can give him a suitable position.

It has to be said that McGrady's talent is there. Looking at the entire NBA, there are no more than five players with McGrady's awe-inspiring talent. Therefore, it can be said that McGrady is worth cultivating.However, Del also has his own ideas. McGrady's talent is indeed good, but he is still young, and his lack of experience is his biggest weakness. Also, what position should he be placed in? This is what Del should think about.

According to the current situation, if nothing else happens, McGrady should start off the bench, which will help him mature.

Del thought for a while, glanced at Ling Yu and Mai Di who were approaching, and couldn't help frowning.

Del also watched the video of the summer league. When the two of them were on the court together, the lethality was obvious to all. Moreover, when Ling Yu was not on the court, McGrady seemed to be playing a bit chaotically, as if he had no direction. Similarly, looking at this Del was very worried, and he had to think about it.

McGrady is really good, but I always feel that something is missing. At this time, Del always felt that what McGrady lacked, but now he thinks it is leadership temperament. This also makes Del worry. Is McGrady really not suitable for leaders, only suitable for being in the team second in command, or even a third in command?

Thinking of this, Delton was confused. Where should McGrady be placed? How should he play?Starter, or sixth man?

At this time, Ling Yu and McGrady walked up to Del's side and wanted to go under the basket. Del was stunned and hurriedly shouted: "Bryant, come here."

Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Del in astonishment, and thought, "What is this old fellow going to do again? Or be a lobbyist?"

However, no matter what, Ling Yu still couldn't say no, just looked at McGrady, and smiled helplessly: "McGrady, you go to the training first, and I will go there later."

Ling Yu knew that Del only called him, and that only two people knew what he was going to say, so he did Del a favor and sent McGrady away first.

"Okay, then I'll go there first." McGrady smiled and ran over.

"He's gone, what's the matter, let's talk." Ling Yu saw that McGrady had left, and asked Del.Because of the good relationship, Ling Yu was not polite and asked directly.

"Bryant, I want to ask you something." Del frowned and asked seriously, "What do you think of McGrady?"

"Why would you ask this?" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, and said without hesitation: "He is very good, with good talent and good skills."

"I'm asking about his temperament and his character." Del didn't want to make any detours with Ling Yu, and he could see what Ling Yu said, so he naturally knew that what he wanted to know now was McGrady deep stuff
