Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 85 Westbrook Comes Again

It's a pity that Wall was seriously injured during his rise, and Porter was also seriously injured not long after signing a contract worth [-] million yuan. His growth came to an abrupt end, and only Bill was left.

Porter is actually very easy to use, and he does have strength. The biggest shortcoming is brittleness, but what Li Sheng is most afraid of now is brittleness, so when he falls down in the future, he can still find a leak.

Of course, Li Sheng must be most concerned about these people in the team.

Regarding the video of the training match, he dug it out and watched it again, and then made some reflections.

Let me examine myself three times a day, why the team has the position of video analyst, it is to learn from experience and lessons, so as to avoid recurrence next time.

From the perspective of the head coach, it must be the direction of the overall situation. Sometimes you will not only focus on a shortcoming, but look at the cause and effect, such as what caused it, what will happen afterwards, whether it is the team's problem or just a personal problem.

Unknowingly, two hours passed, and Li Sheng felt a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. When he wanted to come to the arena and plan to take the ball for some exercise, he heard that someone was already exercising.

Li Sheng was not surprised at all. After all, the overall atmosphere of the Thunder is now positive, and even Perkins was brought up to be afraid to be lazy in training.

This may have something to do with Fisher, and only Fisher, a veteran with more seniority and more experience in connections, can restrain him.

And those who will insist on coming to practice during the break, I can think of many people by counting on my fingers.

But when he actually went in to see who that person was, Li Sheng was still surprised.

"Westbrook?! No, Russell..."

"..."

Rafael... Bah, Russell Westbrook turned his head and glanced at him lightly, then went back and made a precise mid-range shot.

Good trick zombie jumper!
Li Sheng looked at the straight arm raised high, and praised it in his heart, it's so fucking ugly, but U1S1, there is a Hong Kong sentence, at this time Westbrook's jump shot is really accurate, and it is really quite lethal in the playoffs.

Master Wei's playing has very personal characteristics. First of all, he is "Wei" who lives up to his name. This is a tough guy who can dunk the entire court in three overtimes without taking a breath.

The second is "stiffness", which is a feeling that the hands and feet seem to have just been installed, not very flexible, and the movement connection is a bit stiff.

When we watch other guards dribble, dribble, layup/pass, we feel that they are smooth and smooth, such as Irving, Curry, Paul and others. The combination of man and ball is very good, and the ball is very obedient in their hands.

But when watching Westbrook, I can really feel the gap with other top point guards in control.

But in fact, this cannot be completely regarded as Westbrook's responsibility, because he didn't play this type at all in the beginning.

Who was his template when he entered the league?

It's Tony Allen!
Well, at least when it comes to defending Durant, they are indeed in the same vein (not).

So it was in the Thunder that he started to go in the direction of the ball-handling core. It is not easy to be able to practice like this, because he has already broken through his own template.

But why are so many people still dissatisfied?
Nonsense, when he is a superstar in your heart, of course you will want to demand him at the level of a superstar, and you will naturally be disappointed if you fail to do so.

And most of the time, what is disappointing is that what has been said is not done, not just that it cannot be done.

At least Li Sheng thinks that if Westbrook is willing to change, he can actually do better. It's just that he is really unwilling in many cases. It seems to be changed, but the process of changing is very negative, which makes you think it's still useless?
But then again, if it wasn't for the impact of injuries, if he really allowed him to experience aging slowly, maybe he would be able to accept it more easily, instead of accepting the early decline of the body at an age when he still has energy and feeling that he has more energy than energy.

For a star player who once flew into the sky and seemed to be omnipotent, isn't this torture?
So he decided to torture the audience...

"Everyone is on vacation today, you came here, you didn't come to see me, did you?"

Li Sheng also picked up a basketball at this time, and found another half court to try to shoot one first.

His shooting posture is of course learned from the volute, black to black, tri-iron tetroxide, in short, handsome and it's over.

Anyway, he felt that it was more interesting than the zombie shooting of the turtle just now, and he felt very happy.

He was just saying something casually, but Westbrook actually admitted it.

Then he looked back at him, and suddenly said: "Let's choose a round, how about it, dare you?"

???

Li Sheng looked back at Westbrook to confirm that he had not taken the wrong medicine, and he was not joking.

Then he looked at the high bulging chest muscles on top of his jersey, and then at his chest and abdomen, which was relatively flat even though he had been exercising persistently. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you sure, you want me to challenge you one-on-one, don't you want me to practice with you?"

Pick a ghost!

I can't even move your arm, okay?
The NBA has a "fine tradition" of falsely reporting height. Generally, they tend to report higher to themselves. Of course, there are Garnett and Durant who don't want to top the inside and report lower.

The height of the draft can be said to be a hard-hit area, and there are few real ones. For example, a certain champion reported 203 and the actual measurement was less than two meters. He is still a height with shoes. Although it is only a few centimeters away, the difference of a few centimeters on the court is very big.

Westbrook is rarely near the real price of 190, which can almost be used as a reference standard. Anyway, Curry, Lillard and others are not up to the standard by this standard.

There is a gap of 1.8 meters between Li Sheng, not to mention half a head shorter, the biggest gap is in body size.

NBA stars who look normal in size are big among ordinary people, not to mention Westbrook's sturdy "little tank", compared with Li Sheng, he is like a chicken.

He was afraid that Westbrook didn't want to play, but wanted to hit him.

I thought to myself, I don't seem to have offended him these days, what the hell is this?
Wei Shao shook his head with regret, as if he felt that Li Sheng was too timid, but he didn't force him.

Li Shengke didn't feel humiliated at all, it's stupid to like to use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.

What's more, I'm so deflated here, can't I get it back on other "battlefields"?

"Hey, you didn't just come to find me for a duel, did you, or did you want to find Andre?"

Westbrook smiled and said, "I know today is a holiday, so I was looking for you."

"Well……"

At this time Westbrook hesitated for a moment, and then said: "KD told me about you..."

Ok?
Li Sheng was a little stunned, this was another unexpected development.

Having said that, the relationship between the couple will become so rigid in the future. Although it has nothing to do with Durant's "decision", it seems that the two are indeed completely different in character.

So when there is no contradiction now, it seems that there is still a bit of complementarity.

Teammates for so many years, it is naturally impossible for them to have no contact in private, even at least for Westbrook, he regards Durant as a good brother.

Although they may not be able to play together off the court, they are just like the Splash Brothers of the Warriors. They have almost no similarities off the court.

But Li Sheng didn't expect that Durant would go to Westbrook to speak for him. Is it because what he said last time moved him?
