Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 252 Be yourself!

It may seem like a month and a half between Christmas and All-Star Weekend, but time flies by.

After round after round of games, coach Scott's worries about physical fitness and injuries gradually emerged.

First of all, veterans like Kobe and Artest must be fully rested, and their average playing time has to be compressed to less than 30 minutes.

In addition, bench players like Thackeray, who have not experienced high-intensity games throughout their careers, cannot face too much pressure all at once, and must strictly control their playing time, otherwise they will easily get sick from overwork.

The situation of the Lakers is getting worse and worse, because the uniform staff seems to have been indifferent to these problems that have existed since the beginning of the season.

Scott also doesn't know why Buss Jr. and Kupchak wanted to make a deal from the beginning, but now they are completely dead, and they don't want to make a deal at all.

He currently hopes to use the future second-round picks to exchange for some players who can play, especially the backcourt players, to relieve the pressure on Kobe and Yuan Qingshan.

The Lakers ushered in a wave of injuries from late January. Players began to suffer from some minor injuries and ailments due to the increased intensity of the game. The record was inevitably affected, with more losses than wins. The ranking fell to 6th and was overtaken by the Thunder and the Trail Blazers.

Once the team started to lose, negative news took the opportunity to come out.

First, there were media reports that Kobe was at the end of his strength, but he was still squeezing the growth space of rookies, occupying the position of boss, and robbing Towns and Yuan Qingshan of the right to shoot.

Then there was a disagreement between Downs and Yuan Qingshan. Yuan Qingshan was dissatisfied with the few opportunities he got, and threatened to ask the team to trade him.

Then there are two new aids, Channing Frye and Jason Smith, who are not acclimatized, especially Channing Frye, who wants to squeeze Whiteside out of the starting lineup.

Before the away game against the Brooklyn Nets, Kobe angrily threw a stack of newspapers on the table: "You all read what the media said?"

The players picked up the newspapers one after another and started reading. All the negative news related to the Lakers was the above-mentioned negative news, and the players scoffed.

Kobe threw the newspaper on the ground, stomped his feet hard, and shouted angrily: "Everyone has seen it, as long as you lose, the media will label you!"

Seeing that no one from his teammates said anything, Kobe was even more excited.

"But I think we should blame ourselves for this matter. We have been too slack recently. I hope everyone cheers up tonight and wins for them, so that those ridiculous rumors about him will be self-defeating!"

Snapped!Yuan Qingshan also slammed the newspaper to the ground.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Others followed their example and dropped their newspapers and weekly magazines.

"Stop looking down on people, we'll show them the win tonight!" Downs was the next to speak.

He was so angry that someone dared to create rumors about him and Yuan Qingshan, he was really impatient!
Coach Scott looked at his players with eyes full of emotion, raised his fist excitedly and shouted: "The Lakers must win!"

"The Lakers must win!"

"The Lakers must win!"

"The Lakers must win!"

This episode in the visiting team's locker room before the game hurt the Nets. The Lakers beat the Nets by 33 points that night.

Both Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson were stunned. At the press conference after the game, Lopez kept saying, "Crazy, Kobe is crazy, Towns is crazy, Yuan Qingshan is crazy, the entire Lakers are crazy. If they can keep this state until the middle of June, they might really be able to win the O'Brien Cup!"

This is the first time that the reporters have encountered such a compliment to an opponent, which shows how badly the Nets were beaten.

On the way back from New York to Los Angeles, everyone fell asleep in their seats.

Scott turned around and looked at his players, both shocked and moved: These guys really worked hard tonight.

Sure enough, the news of the win covered up all the discordant voices, and the media seemed to have completely forgotten all the fabrications and gossip they had written before overnight, and used all their pen and ink to exaggerate Kobe's apocalypse and the infinite future of the Lakers' Kentucky duo.

After a game of such intensity, everyone was exhausted, and Scott gave the players a day off.

Towns and Whiteside exhausted their energy in the fight with Lopez and Thaddeus Young, and slept in a full sleep the next day.

Yuan Qingshan exchanged points from the system for a physical recovery potion, and after drinking it increased the speed of physical recovery.

I got up early the next morning and drove Rachel to the 2K Los Angeles branch, and then came to the training hall.

Although he won yesterday's game, it also made him see his current flaws more clearly. His scoring is still too dependent on breakthroughs. If he can shoot three-pointers, he won't be so tired last night.

It is necessary to adapt to Klay Thompson's "three-point master" skills as soon as possible to improve his three-point shooting percentage.

Yuan Qingshan heard the sound of dribbling in the training hall from a distance, who came to train so early?
He stepped in with a question mark, and just as he saw a slightly thin figure, he took a step back, took off and shot backwards.

The basketball fell into the basket exactly as if it was equipped with a guide.

Yuan Qingshan couldn't help applauding, a beautiful three-pointer.

The man turned around, it was Kobe.

"Qingshan, I didn't expect you to be the second one to train."

Kobe grabbed another basketball, in the same position, this time he didn't make it difficult for himself, he just took a simple glance and shot, and he still made a hit.

"Are you practicing long-range three-pointers?" Yuan Qingshan looked, this should be Stephen Curry's firing zone.

Kobe shook his head: "No, I'm feeling Curry's long-range shot. It's really difficult to guard him."

Of course Yuan Qingshan is well aware of this. Curry is like a super cannon with no range limit. He can bombard you anytime and anywhere. When you are against him, you have to guard against his shots after crossing the midfield line.

Of course, Yuan Qingshan couldn't let go of the opportunity to train with Kobe, and asked Kobe to guide his three-pointers through the topic.

After watching Yuan Qingshan throw a few balls, Kobe felt very strange, and asked Yuan Qingshan if he was deliberately imitating someone's actions.

Yuan Qingshan said that he was imitating Klay Thompson, because he felt that Thompson's posture was very standard.

This is of course an excuse, he can't tell anyone about the super evolution system.

Kobe shook his head and immediately denied his approach: "No matter how accurate Thompson is, it is useless to you, because you are not Thompson, you should be yourself!"

Thompson's shooting movements are the ones he has explored over the years that are most suitable for his own body. Everyone's physical conditions are different. Yuan Qingshan and Thompson are very different in height, weight, wingspan, and arm structure. If you insist on applying other people's movements to yourself, the effect will definitely not be good.

So Kobe asked Yuan Qingshan to feel the shooting with his heart and find out the most suitable movements and rhythms for him.

Yuan Qingshan tried Kobe's method, and his three-point shooting rate improved, but the "three-point master" skill was delayed.

Kobe saw that Yuan Qingshan didn't seem to be very satisfied, and asked him why, Yuan Qingshan got sloppy and passed by.

Kobe didn't delve into it either. After all, everyone has their own secrets. Since Yuan Qingshan doesn't want to share it, it would be rude to ask further.
