Chapter 338 [Wangci King, high morale]

After the preseason, the Wizards coaching staff discussed the lineup again.

The starting four players have been determined, Stoudamire, Marshall, Jordan and Wesley.Whether the shooting guard should go to Hamilton or Raja Bell, they didn't decide.

In the preseason, Bell's performance was very eye-catching, with a three-point shooting rate of 41.2%. His shooting position is relatively fixed, just at the right bottom corner and 70 degrees, but the bottom corner is very important.

The coaching staff are unanimously optimistic about Bell's defense. When he signed with the Wizards in the summer, he weighed only 93 kg. After the training camp, he tested it again, and it has reached 96 kg, and his confrontation ability has been strengthened.

Bell is very active on the defensive end. The single defense scorer will use a candy-style entanglement. He has a low center of gravity, moves quickly, dares to confront, and is also very good at bypassing screens and chasing defenses.

In basketball defense, attitude is the most important thing.Anyone who has a body can be a qualified defender as long as he concentrates on defending and is not afraid of consuming physical strength. It is not as difficult to practice offensive skills.

Bell has improved tremendously with the Sixers.Larry Brown is good at tuning defensive players and setting up a defensive system, and his reputation is well-deserved.He has just joined the Knicks, and he won two games against the Wizards in the preseason, relying on defense, and on the premise that Yao Ming was not there, he used the core lineup of the Knicks last season.

Of course, Hamilton's strength is unquestionable, and he is not very suitable to play as a substitute.He comes from a family of long-distance runners, has top off-ball running ability, shoots from inside the three-point line without dead ends, and never stops in one place for more than two seconds.For many players, they would rather guard Kobe than Hamilton.After all, this is a basketball game, not a marathon.

On the defensive end, Hamilton is a rib cage, with a height of 198cm and a weight of only 84kg. He is poor in confrontation but has strong mobility, strong harassment ability, and is good at defending against face frame breakthroughs.If Hamilton is on the bench, the offense in the second quarter can be better.

It's a sweet annoyance, the Wizards have strength and can play a lot of people.

In the end, everyone decided to let Hamilton start. After all, his shooting point is not fixed, and the two-point efficiency is not bad. It can also consume the opponent's physical strength.For such a person with unlimited physical strength, there is really no need to limit the playing time.Moreover, Hamilton's offensive efficiency with the ball is low, and it may not be a tacit understanding with Alstom.

In this way, the starting Wesley can run less and be a spot-up shooter for a while.Bell's task is also relatively simple. In the second quarter, stand in the bottom corner and pull away to attract defense.

In the evening, Yang Rui chatted with Maggette on the Internet, and arranged a task for him to study the playing style of Lakers legend Jerry West at home.

"Is his style different from mine?" Maggette suspected that he had heard it wrong. What is there to study?
"You can find some videos and introductions of him on the Internet. What I want you to learn is to break through and cheat fouls. As long as you can do this well, the average of 20+ per game is just around the corner. Think about it, how a white man who has a poor confrontation can get so much. free throw."

"Aha? Then I'll look for it." Maggette said excitedly.

Jerry West is 193cm tall and weighs 84kg. He has scored 10 times for the first time. He is considered to be the top five shooting guards in the history of the league and the logo man of the NBA.

But as a white man, West's physical fitness is not worth mentioning in modern times, and Hornacek is stronger than him.His body was also ordinary in those days, but he became a superstar.Looking at the information, you will find that the reason for West's success is not only accurate shooting, but also because he is the first "King of Ten Thousand Porcelains" in the history of the league.

单赛季场均罚球次数过10次的后卫排名中，第二多的就是杰里-韦斯特，他包办了4次；韦斯特到2018年还保有后卫场均罚球次数的纪录；他在巅峰的1965-66赛季，曾场均获得12.4次罚球机会。

He averaged 9.4 free throws per game in his career and shot 81.4% from the field. Even in his retirement year, he averaged 6.4 free throws per game.His postseason free throw numbers are even higher, with a career average of 9.8 per game and 65 in the '14 playoffs.His ability to deceive and foul is at its peak, and he will definitely be hacked in the Internet age.

Touch Porcelain Supreme, the League Logo, Harden is out, who will compete?

Maggette averaged only 4 free throws per game last season. Compared with his peak period, his shooting percentage is actually similar, and his style of play is the same. The difference is in making fouls and making too few free throws.Yang Rui pointed out a clear path for him to help him comprehend the ultimate move in advance and strive to become a strongman with an average of 10 free throws per game.

The first official strength list has been announced.

The Kings in the West ranked first. Yang Rui saw the news and immediately thought it was good news. Except for the Nets and Bulls, which were stronger than his previous life, other teams have become weaker this season.

The Kings are now without Gerald Wallace, Mike Bibby, forced to re-sign Jason Williams, and center Divac is a year older and must move slower.Even so, they still look the most promising.

The Spurs ranked second, missing Stephen Jackson and Tony Parker, and adding Jamal Tinsley and Brian Russell. The Jazz veteran finally chose to go to the Spurs to hug his legs and hit the championship at the end of his career.

Ranked third is the Nets, and the Raptors, with two stars missing, are fourth, followed by the Mavericks, Bulls, and Pistons. It was not the Lakers' turn until No. 8.

The Lakers lineup has not changed much, except that veteran Richmond has retired, but the strength list is based on the strength of the recent team. "Big Shark" O'Neal will be sidelined for a long time due to injury.

In the summer, the media revealed that O'Neal once again refused to renew his contract in advance, and people suspected that O'Neal would leave the Lakers.

Bryant wanted to seize the power to be the boss, and the conflict between the two could break out at any time. Experts analyzed that in 2003, O'Neal would use his free agent status to force the palace team, and he and Bryant could only keep one.

At the end of last season, the team doctor said that O'Neal had hallux sclerosis, which is a dislocation of the joint at the base of the big toe.It is the result of worsening arthritis, severe enough to require another surgery.His toes were so sore that it had affected his jumping, and other movements would be deformed.

O'Neal has three options. The first is another minor operation that didn't work before; the second is an operation that will keep him out for two to three months; and an operation that is often performed on ballet dancers' feet. , that kind of surgery is more complicated, but more thorough.

O'Neal opted for the last surgery and had to take a six-month break, which means he won't officially return until January or February.

This is recommended by "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, who has also been suggesting that the management renew O'Neal's contract and send Kobe Bryant.He and O'Neal analyzed their relationship, and O'Neal agreed to the operation.

Jenny Buss revealed the inside story of the management to the "Zen Master". Jim Buss and Kupchak are ready to trade O'Neal in the summer, leaving Kobe as the core of the team.They are all worried that O'Neal will become a free agent next summer, and if he does not agree to the big contract O'Neal asked for, he will leave and the Lakers will get nothing.

Jenny and Jim both want to replace the old Buss as the president of the Lakers, and they are divided into two factions, fighting openly and secretly.The old Bass must have retired in the past few years.

The Wizards ranked 16th, and the team's morale was strong.The regular season has not started, the popularity of the team has grown, and pundits and fans are starting to think they can make it back to the playoffs.
