The world's best combo guard

Chapter 276 270 [You have to improve your rebounding level]

Toyota Center, the Lakers' practice facility, is two days away from the opening game, and tonight, they will welcome their second opponent of the season at Staples, the Chicago Bulls, who have been rebuilding The lonely dynasty team in the period.

For the Los Angeles people, it is a matter of course for them to win this game tonight. As for how to win, that is their business.

"Kwame, as a qualified insider, you must have a stronger desire for rebounding,"

In fact, before the start of the new season, Li Hao seemed to talk directly to Kwame Brown about his rebounding problem.

Li Hao found that Kwame Brown didn't like to compete for rebounds, especially backcourt rebounds, and always showed a casual attitude.

In Li Hao's view, this is obviously not possible. When an insider has no desire to rebound, it is no wonder that he can become a top insider.

It's just that Li Hao didn't directly mention it at the time, because he thought that Kwame Brown might have some difficulties.

However, after the opening game, Li Hao found that the problem of Kwame Brown still exists. In fact, although the Lakers easily defeated the Timberwolves by a big score in the last game, the rebound gap between the two teams reached 12 points.

In the regular season, such rebounds may not have much impact, but in the playoffs where points are all about, such a large rebound hole may be the only way for your opponent to beat you.

So today, Li Hao plans to talk to Kwame Brown about the rebounding issue, and he hopes this conversation will be fruitful.

"Lee, I'm sorry, to be honest, this problem has plagued me throughout my basketball career. Of course I know this is not what a qualified insider should do, but in fact, I can only maintain the status quo"

Kwame Brown then explained.

"Lee, do you know? That's why" Kwame Brown immediately stretched out his hands.

Li Hao frowned for a moment.

so small?
He really didn't expect Kwame Brown to be a big man of more than two meters but with small hands.

No wonder.

This does pose a huge challenge to his rebounding ability.

Because when your hands are small, you have become unconfident from the bottom of your heart.

Li Hao can understand Kwame Brown in an instant.

However, from Li Hao's point of view, small hands does not mean that an insider really cannot have top rebounding ability.

Sometimes, improvement in other fields can bridge the gap in this area.

"Kwame, I'll give you a suggestion. Learn from Haki Olajuwon's footwork. Your footwork around the basket is obviously clumsy. This will make you lose the initiative from the very beginning when you are entangled with your opponent. right"

At this moment, Phil Jackson appeared and spoke to Kwame Brown.

Li Hao nodded his head, he thought Phil Jackson's proposal was very good.

Indeed, as Phil Jackson said, the most important thing for rebounding is not the size of the hand. After all, this is only one of the factors, and the most important thing for rebounding is the position.

That is to say, a player arrives at that position ahead of time and waits for the basketball to fall based on the judgment of the position of the basketball.

And whether it is judging the position of the rebound, or going to a certain area in advance to wait for the basketball to fall, it will be connected in an instant.

Therefore, in this case, having a good, flexible footwork is definitely beneficial to the card position.

It has to be admitted that the reason why Kwame Brown has not played in recent years has a lot to do with himself.

For example, many of his technical movements are very rough. Li Hao has noticed his footsteps, which obviously does not have a little fake movement.

This kind of big white and sweet footsteps, in front of those rebounding idiots, naturally can't take advantage of it.

Of course, Kwame Brown's reaction speed at the basket is still very good, which is why he has good offensive rebounding ability.

Kwame Brown accepted the suggestions of Li Hao and Phil Jackson. It seems that he really wants to become better, but the embarrassing fact is that he does not have the footsteps video of Haki Olajuwon in his hand.

After all, the kind of videos referred to here are not those that can be easily found on the Internet, but teaching videos.

In the end, Kobe came forward and decided to draw a line between Kwame Brown and Haki Olajuwon, and Olajuwon would teach Kwame Brown himself.
Of course, Kwame Brown has to bear the cost himself. Kwame Brown, who just signed a big contract this year, is naturally able to pay the cost.

Li Hao, Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson joined forces to promote Kwame Brown?
To be honest, this operation stunned the other players of the Lakers. Derek Fisher even said with emotion that Kwame Brown is the only one who can get this kind of treatment in the entire NBA. What's even more annoying is that this guy once He also got the guidance of the basketball god Michael Jordan.

What a lucky guy.

Let's hope this guy surprises everyone.

.........

After experiencing two dazzling "three-peat" prosperity, with the departure of the Big Three led by the basketball god Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, the red dynasty, have embarked on a long-term reconstruction. road.

Last season may have been their best season in recent seasons, and the team finally entered the playoffs after hardships.

But hard power is limited, and the Chicagoans can only stop in the first round of the playoffs.

Tyson Chandler and Kirk Hinrich are the hopes of this team's resurgence, but it may not be realistic to mention the O'Brien Cup.

In the past summer, the Chicago Bulls basically did not move in the transfer market, which means that the team will still fight for the playoffs in the new season.

From this point of view, a team with the goal of the playoffs shows that their team is not weak and has the opportunity to put pressure on the top teams in the league. After all, it is a recognized fact that there are no underdogs in the NBA.

However, in this game against the Lakers, the Chicagoans were extremely pessimistic, because the Lakers they faced seemed impossible to give them a chance to upset.

Whether it is the Lakers No. 24 or the Lakers No. [-], it seems that they are not the kind of guys who sit back and watch the team get upset.

At eight o'clock in the evening, at the Staples Center, Phil Jackson announced the starting lineup for the game three hours before the start of the game.

Li Hao, Kobe Bryant, Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown.

Zen Master did not change the starting lineup he put out in the opener. Perhaps, in his opinion, this is the best starting lineup for the Lakers at this stage.
