Super Small Forward

At first, Liu Ren didn't understand what the coach group discussed.

He knows that tactics can make players run out of space, but he doesn't know how to get them out. He often needs to do a lot of no ball pick and roll in tactics. There are a lot of pick and roll that have nothing to do with the people who receive the ball, but he still has to do it. He knows that this can help the team to give the ball to the people they want to give, but he really doesn't know what to do with a lot of pick and roll 。

Obviously, after playing for so many years, Gasol and Kobe have a good understanding of the tactics. They have learned what Liu Ren doesn't understand. They ask questions and suggestions from time to time on the tactical route, which makes Liu Ren's eyes hot.

Is that what superstars need? On the field to mobilize the movement of teammates to help themselves or help teammates get shot opportunities.

Liu Ren quietly watched them discuss and tried to learn these things. Now he can't understand them. One day he will learn to understand them, won't he?

Hard work can make up for your weakness, or maybe diligence can't change the upper limit of talent. Liu Ren has already determined that genius is 99% sweat plus 1% talent, but without 1% talent, even if you have 200% sweat, it's useless.

However, if you don't work hard, even if you have talent, you should be diligent to achieve or even surpass the original talent without talent.

Maybe he didn't have the talent to be a coach, but to learn to understand the tactical roadmap, understand the impact of each action of players in tactics and the purpose of doing so, Liu Ren believes he can learn.

"Liu, what do you think is the essence of basketball?" Kobe suddenly asked Liu Ren a question.

"The essence of basketball?" Liu Ren was stunned for a moment, thought for a few seconds and then said weakly, "throw the ball into the basket?"

Well, this is Liu Ren's idea in the game field. If you throw the ball into the other side's basket, whoever gets more will win. It's the technology and the honors that extend.

"Yes, it's just putting the ball into the basket." Kobe seems to be very satisfied with Liu Ren's answer.

After that, Kobe didn't continue to talk to Liu Ren. Instead, he went to discuss with the coaching staff about the tactical roadmap Liu could not understand.

Until the end of the meeting, Liu Ren was still in a fog, half because he basically didn't understand. What he understood was tactical in order to create scoring opportunities for him.

Liu Ren is satisfied with the team's attack.

The other half is that Liu Ren doesn't understand what Kobe Bryant asked him about that sentence. Is it a boring conversation with d'antony?

I don't know how, Liu Ren thinks that Kobe is not very satisfied with d'antony, and he can't see that Kobe has any unhappiness on the surface. But as a hard core, he just feels that Kobe is dissatisfied.

Similarly, Liu Ren saw that Gasol's expression had not changed all the time, but also felt a little inappropriate.

After the meeting, the coaches went to do their own business. D'Antoni went to Kupchak, while Liu Ren went to the indoor court with Kobe and Gasol.

"Liu, you said that the essence of basketball is to put the ball into the basket, which is true." Kobe suddenly said, "but that's only half of it."

"Half?"

"Yes, only half." Kobe stopped for a moment and continued, "the other side is to keep the ball out of the basket! This is the finished basketball

"Only half of the team's tactics were abandoned in the meeting, but now only half of the team's tactics were abandoned by you." Gasol said.

Liu Ren recalled, found that really from the training camp to now, has never carried on the defense training!

The Lakers have 10 regular season games in their preseason, and they have never had any defensive arrangements! Every pause is the arrangement of attack, never heard the words of defending opponents!

The reason why the Lakers defend above the average level is that the team has a good lineup, young and aggressive players, who play well in attack and defend naturally, including Nick Young. When he plays happily, he will be very excited to keep up with his opponents.

In addition, Gasol's long arms on the other side's offensive interference, Liu Ren and Whiteside's restricted area cover, the outside defense relies on fighting, there is no cooperative defense tactics, all rely on the teammates themselves.

Think of this Liu Ren face full of worry, this lame team system can have too much to do?

D'antony attack is good, for most teams in the league, his offensive system is still advanced, but there are Popovich's spurs that are more advanced ah! Not to mention Cole after that!

No defensive team, even if the talent is as strong as the suns in the three seasons of 2004-07, still can't do much in the playoffs, let alone their group of people?

Liu Ren doesn't belittle himself, but he should be self-conscious. Their strength may be above the middle of the league. Defeating the clippers and warriors in the playoffs can prove this. He may win a game with the top teams. But if he thinks about playing a series with the Spurs, he is a little worried that he will lose confidence in basketball.It's hard to forge iron! Liu Ren felt that he still had a lot of shortcomings. The attack means were relatively single, three-point plus inside line hard play. It was bad to meet the Spurs team.

If you have Kobe's ability to fire at any distance

But the old man is now seriously injured. Even if his body recovers after he comes back, he is estimated to have only 80% of his strength before the injury.

Thinking of this, Liu Ren looks at Kobe with resentment.

Kobe was seen as uncomfortable, thinking that Liu Ren was complaining about why he didn't tell d'antony about it, so he said: "now Mike is our head coach, what we have to do is to play the game he wants to play as much as possible. He has had successful experience and has proved that this method will be effective. Now we want to win, but we lost too much last year. As for defense in the playoffs Well, although my goal is still to compete for the championship, but I also know that our current team is difficult to achieve. We don't have more options. There aren't many better coaches than Mike. We don't have a chance to get them for the moment. Instead of complaining, what you need to do is play hard and train hard

Better play hard than complain!

Liu Ren likes this sentence very much, think only like this, the player interferes with the team about the coach's choice?

It seems that in the history of NBA, those who interfere with the selection of head coach have been scolded bloody. Even if the player's judgment is proved to be correct, the coach is really not good, and he is still being severely scolded.

Magic Johnson and James, two of the top ten superstars in history, have been punished for interfering with coach candidates, let alone Liu Ren?
