NBA: Started as Sakuragi Hanamichi

Chapter 25 The first day of the training camp, getting familiar with the triangle offense
There must be few people in Los Angeles who can let Kobe say that he treats guests to breakfast.

This made Lin Feng work harder, making jump shots one after another, making sure to score every ball.

After making one hundred shots without being punished, Lin Feng feels hot this morning. As long as the basketball is in his hands, the basket is as wide as an ocean.

"Yes, you are a qualified shooter."

Kobe smiled and praised, and then said: "Continue to practice shooting. At seven o'clock, we will have breakfast, then come back to rest and practice strength training."

"Okay boss." Lin Feng lamented Kobe's enthusiasm for training, and went to the weight room after breakfast.

In the NBDL before, Lin Feng rarely went to the weight room, not because he was lazy, but because every time he finished strength training, he would strain the muscle tissue, which would affect the game afterwards.

After all, the physical fitness of the yellow race cannot be compared with that of the black race, not even that of the white race.

It's different now, the current Lin Feng has the physical fitness of Yingmu Huadao.

It's not that he's bragging, but Kobe in front of him may not necessarily be better than him in terms of physical fitness.

The two practiced at the Staples Center until [-]:[-] in the morning. Kobe invited Lin Feng to have breakfast, which was very simple food.

Steak + milk, and two poached eggs.

These foods are to supplement the energy and protein lost by athletes. Kobe is a training madman, and he also attaches great importance to eating.

As a top athlete, Kobe would never eat those junk foods indiscriminately.

After breakfast, the two went to the weight room for strength training.

Lin Feng and Kobe didn't stop until nine o'clock in the morning.

At this time, Lin Feng asked: "Boss, didn't your former teammates come to the training camp during the offseason?"

"There will be a training camp, and they will be here soon."

Just as Kobe finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the training hall.

The old fish Fisher, Odom, Bynum, Aaron McGee, Kwame Brown, Smash Parker, etc., as well as the head coach Phil Jackson, were all present.

They were all used to coming to the gym, and it didn't surprise them to see Kobe training alone there.

What surprised them was that there was a small Asian player beside Kobe today?

Who is this person?

Looks a bit familiar, seems to have landed in ESPN reports?
"Kobe, who is he?"

Old Fish Fisher asked aloud, among these teammates, only Old Fish is most familiar with Kobe, because since 1996, he has been teammates with Kobe.

From 2004 to 2006, the old fish Fisher briefly left the Lakers for two years.

The old fish who couldn't get along with the Utah Jazz decided to return to the Los Angeles Lakers again.

In the 06-07 season next season, Fisher will once again wear the purple and gold jersey and play for the Lakers.

Hearing the words of the old fish Fisher at this time, Kobe said: "He used to be a member of the defenders of the subordinate team. His name is Lin Feng, he is from China, and he is from the same country as Yao. I think he is good, so I recruited him."

"Oh, that's right, what position does he play?"

The old fish Fisher observed Lin Feng's appearance and saw that he was number one.

He is also number one, Lin Feng is here, I don't know if he will take away his starting position.

Kobe slapped the basketball twice, and said calmly: "He is the same as you, and he is the number one, but at the beginning, he came off the bench as you."

"I'm very satisfied with this arrangement." The old fish Fisher smiled.

Lin Feng looked at the old fish Fisher. This guy didn't have excellent physical condition, nor did he have the speed of Allen Iverson.

But the only commendable advantage of Lao Yu is that he has a very high golf quotient and a big heart at the same time.

That year's 0.4-second lore against the Spurs is the best proof.

Although the old fish Fisher is not good, the fans have always talked about this person, saying that none of his five championship rings is a fake.

Indeed, whenever Kobe can't play, and other teammates feel cold, the old fisher Fisher can always stand up and take over the game.

A three-pointer sets the morale of the army. The more critical the moment, the old fisher Fisher is a more reliable player.

"Okay, the training camp begins."

Head coach Phil Jackson signaled everyone to be quiet and prepare for a training camp.

"Kobe, this newcomer, taught him how to execute the triangle offense. He must be familiar with our positioning and system before he can perform well on the court."

Head coach Phil Jackson, nicknamed Zen Master, his basketball philosophy is different from many coaches.

With the triangle offense, in his previous life, he won 11 championship rings.

A brief explanation of the triangle offense cannot be explained in a few words.

Just remember that the triangle offense is a reverse system offense.

In this set of tactics, great players like Kobe and Jordan are needed with absolutely strong singles strength.

Otherwise, the triangle offense is pure nonsense and not too threatening.

The triangle offense is difficult to understand because it is not a tactic formulated in advance by the coaching staff.

This set of tactics will change immediately on the court...

For example, D'Antoni's running and bombing tactics are usually initiated by Steve Nash.

Nash organizes the offense, and then performs high and low pick-and-roll switching with the inside players, and eats the cake along the way.

He cooperated seamlessly with Stoudemire. In the Western Conference, the bombardment tactics were carried forward by the two.

Another example is the pick-and-roll master Jerry Sloan, whose pick-and-roll tactics were once extremely successful.

The pick-and-rolls in different positions create dislocations, and the inside line only eats the small outside line.

Either the outside players rely on absolute speed, get rid of the big guys inside, and make one-on-one breakthrough layups.

The pick-and-roll is to create space for shots, or to misplace.

These two sets of tactics are relatively easy to understand, but Zen Master's triangle offense is not an inherent set of tactics.

It changes randomly and requires a strong on-the-spot reaction from the players.

In the running position, he constantly formed a triangle position to threaten the defender. Once the ball is in Kobe's hands, he will definitely attract double-teams.

In this case, the teammate standing on the weak side has the opportunity to cause damage.

Therefore, players defending against Kobe did not dare to stick too close.

In addition, another strong point of setting a screen with Kobe is a good time to cut to the basket.

Teammates running without the ball can create a relatively good singles environment for Kobe.

This is the basic idea of ​​the triangle offense, everything is in the service of the super giant player.

So why is the triangle offense only suitable for Kobe and Jordan?
Because the two of them have extremely strong singles ability, those pseudo-super giants who have broken down in singles cannot adapt to Zen Master's triangle offense.

And Phil Jackson said that allowing Lin Feng to adapt to the triangle offensive system as soon as possible is also to allow Lin Feng to be on the weak side and cooperate with Kobe to form a triangle position at all times.

Threatening defenders and giving Kobe a good shooting environment.

Kobe nodded, walked towards Lin Feng, and carefully explained to Lin Feng the basic concept of the triangle offense.
