NBA peak

Chapter 500
Schroeder froze for a moment, he didn't seem to understand what Ge Feng meant.

Seeing that Schroeder didn't understand, Ge Feng spoke more clearly.

"Are you forced to become an organizer because of your height, or do you like organizing the team yourself and are willing to rely on the play style of an organizer?"

Ge Feng made his words clear, but Schroeder was silent.

After a long time, Schroeder had the courage to say: "I like to attack, but my height is less than 190cm, so every head coach and trainer will tell me that I should learn how to organize the team like Chris Paul. I hate organizing the team! I like to attack. I want to kill all directions on the court like Iverson."

Basketball may be the sport that is most closely related to height among all sports.

In the history of the NBA, except for a few outliers such as Boykins and Rodman, the rest of the players, what position they can play on the court, has long been determined by their height.

Even historical-level players as strong as Iverson, Rose, Thomas Jr., and Tudou Webber have only been brilliant in the NBA for a few seasons before they have to disappear from everyone.

The influence of height on an NBA player is almost decisive.

That's why all the coaches and trainers are urging Schroeder to put all his energy into organization.

Only by giving up offense and becoming an organizer, can Schroeder have a long life in the NBA like Chris Paul.

Ge Feng could see Schroeder's unwillingness.

Schroder's idol is Westbrook, and Schroder's style of play in the Thunder is the same as Westbrook's, full of explosive power.

But the Thunder management is obviously tired of players like Westbrook, so they directly sent Schroder, who has unlimited potential, to the Lakers in exchange for Danny Green, who is on the tail end of his peak.

After Schroder came to the Lakers, he was not liberated by nature.

Lakers coach Vogel, still like the Thunder's head coach, asked Schroder to take on the task of organizing the backcourt, which made Schroder very unhappy playing with the Lakers.

"Emm...I know, Vogel, Kidd (one of the Lakers' assistant coaches), and Magic have been teaching you how to become a qualified point guard, and you are also trying hard, but..."

Ge Feng changed the topic.

"I think you're more suited to be an offensive guard, like Derrick Rose, Allen Iverson, Russell Westbrook."

What Ge Feng said inexplicably made Schroeder feel relieved.

This is the first time Schroeder has recognized his ideas since he entered the NBA 7 years ago.

From high school to college, from college to NBA, Schroeder was trained as a point guard whether he played in Germany or in the NBA.

However, Schroeder is not considered a player with a high golf quotient. When he reaches a critical moment, he is prone to high emotions and falls into a brainless offensive rhythm.

This is Schroeder's nature, and it is difficult to change through acquired efforts.

Looking into Schroeder's eyes, Ge Feng then added: "Actually, it's not impossible for you to play an offensive guard, but in that case, the positioning of Bo Yang and I will have to be slightly changed."

Schroeder immediately laughed when he heard Ge Feng's words.

Schroeder seldom smiles at ordinary times, and when he smiles occasionally, it looks really eye-catching.

But Ge Feng could sense that Schroeder was very happy now.

"Ge Feng, is what you said true? But will Vogel agree?"

After Schroeder got Ge Feng's permission, he was a little worried.

After all, Ge Feng is just a player, and he has no right to take on Vogel's work.

"I'm not sure whether Vogel will agree. However, Vogel is a person who knows how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses. As long as I can speak clearly, Vogel will consider it. Schroeder, I can only promise you so much now. You must promise me that no matter whether I can persuade Vogel or not, you must play well in the Lakers and not play passively."

"Thank you." Schroeder said to Ge Feng gratefully.

Davis did not make a mistake in recommending it. Ge Feng is indeed a person who is very good at solving troubles.

A player who can mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates is more suitable to be the boss of the team.

This kind of talent of knowing people and being good at tasks is more like an innate ability, not all players who play well have it.

Schroeder turned to leave, and Ge Feng suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, Schroeder! I forgot to tell you something...

As long as you practice the three-pointer well, with your breakthrough and scoring ability, even if Vogel refuses this time, he will quietly pay attention to whether you are really not suitable for organizing the team.That way, you still have a chance to be an attacker in the future. "

Schroeder, who hadn't gone far, immediately felt less pressure when he heard this.

Ge Feng really doesn't look like a 24-year-old boy. His golf and EQ are really much better than his peers.

Schroeder came back to his senses, bowed to Ge Feng, and then trotted out of the arena.

At this time, McGee was sweating profusely and moved to Ge Feng's side.

"What did you tell him? How did I see him bowing to you?" McGee asked puzzled.

In normal times, Schroeder is a proud little mustang. With his character, I am afraid that even LeBron cannot convince him.

But at this moment, he was actually bowing to Ge Feng.

Ge Feng smiled and patted McGee on the head without explaining.

At the end of the training session the next day, Ge Feng left Vogel alone and began to discuss with him what he promised Schroeder yesterday.

Vogel was a little angry when he heard Ge Feng's suggestion at first.

He is the head coach of the Lakers. Ge Feng suggested to him how to use Schroeder and Bo Yang, which is a bit out of bounds.

Fortunately, Ge Feng is the core of the Lakers' current backcourt. Otherwise, Vogel may directly cancel Ge Feng's chance to play.

However, Vogel is also very clear that his coaching ability is in the middle and lower reaches of the NBA.

The reason why Vogel was able to stay with the Lakers and serve as the head coach of the Lakers is because he has a higher emotional intelligence than other head coaches.

It is conceivable that the Lakers last season, after integrating LeBron + Davis + Ge Feng + Howard + Rondo so many big-name superstars, how many contradictions there will be in the locker room.

Vogel is the lubricant that regulates the relationship between superstars, and his emotional intelligence can help the Lakers integrate faster.

Facts have proved that Vogel's work last season was very good.

Although the tactics used by the Lakers in the playoffs last season were very simple, as long as LeBron, Ge Feng and Davis are in the same heart, just taking turns in singles is enough for other teams to drink a pot.

Teams like the Lakers, and the Los Angeles Clippers.

The situation of the Clippers and the Lakers is similar, but the Clippers just don't have a head coach like Vogel, which leads to conflicts in the Clippers locker room.

The Clippers were in the midst of infighting, and Jokic seized the opportunity to complete a 1-3 comeback.

Therefore, Vogel will not make the same mistakes as Doc Rivers.

He must be clear about his position in order to go on with the Lakers in the long run.
