Chapter 81 [Great Coach, Substitute Thorn]

Even though his ability to adapt on the spot was criticized, Phil Jackson is a great coach because he is good at coaching players and making potential players great.

There is Bole in the world, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. There is a thousand-mile horse, but Bole does not.

This is an important reason why Guo Xu is obsessed with joining the Lakers. If a young player can play under famous coaches in the early stage of his career, his chances of success will be much greater than those who play in bad teams, and the environment creates people.

Ray Allen and Kobe are both the 96 Golden Generation. Ray Allen was selected by the Timberwolves in 5th place, and Kobe was selected by the Hornets in 13th place. Both teams are in small cities and have poor star-making ability. As a result, Kobe was sent to Los Angeles, and Ray Allen was sent to Milwaukee, a smaller city. From the beginning, fate destined that it was difficult for Ray Allen to be better than Kobe.

In his previous life, before Jackson coached the Lakers, Kobe's scoring efficiency was not high. In the 1998-99 season, he averaged 37.9 minutes per game and could only score 19.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists. At that time, not many people were optimistic about Kobe. Even though he was selected as the All-Star, Kobe gradually became a superstar after Jackson coached.

What does the tactics on the basketball court exist for? The answer is to create opportunities. In order to create mobile phone opportunities on the offensive end, the defense end is to eliminate opportunities on the opponent.

The advantage of playing small is speed, and the advantage of playing small is height. These are opportunities, so pick-and-roll tactics have been tried and tested. Players with strong single-handed ability can also play directly with the ball, which is also an opportunity.

If a person can ensure scoring efficiency when facing a single defense, does the team still need complex tactical cooperation? On the contrary, when a person feels that he can dominate the game, will he pass the ball? Will he lead the team? Will he remain modest? Will he listen to the coach?

What this kind of potential player needs is not a tactical master, but a guide.

Only the wrong name is given, and no wrong nickname is called. Jackson is called "Zen Master" because he has "Zen meaning".

The stronger a person is, the more he will feel that he should bear more; the more he feels that he should bear more, the more he is often paranoid; the more he is paranoid, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the less he will be on the road of no return to the cancer.

The star felt that he should bear more, so he scored 30 and 40 points in a game, took charge of every attack, and even won the coach's tactical board, and then the team lost. Jordan was like this before. Without Jackson, Jordan would not have become the "God of Basketball".

Jackson can make the superstars qualified to be the top ten in history obedient and attack according to his own arrangements, singles when they should be singles, pass the ball when they should be passed, and put down his figure to defend. At the same time, Jackson also allows role players to play some exquisite roles, which is his greatness.

Some people say that Jordan, Kobe, and O'Neal are among the top ten in history, so it is wrong to make Phil Jackson. To be precise, these three players have the potential to become the top ten in history. They finally succeeded according to Jackson's path and also made Jackson.

Jackson is grinding Guo Xu's edges and corners to prevent him from being too confident and becoming a selfish player, and also let him compete with defensive experts to explore his potential.

Guo Xu was able to understand the coach's thoughts. His thoughts were very mature, but external obstacles still arise.

Guo Xu has been leading the substitute team to play the ball in training, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Isaiah Ledel. Before the preseason started, the man went to the coaching team to make trouble and demanded that the ball be increased.

He averaged 17.9 shots per game last season. Not only did he become a substitute when the Lakers became a substitute, but he also had to play without the ball. How could he bear it?

After hearing Leidel's complaint, Jackson asked in a hurry: "Isaiah, what is your purpose in coming to the Lakers?"

"In order to help the Lakers defend their title, they won a championship ring, change people's views on me, and prove that they are not a cancer." Leidel's mechanical answer was all about scenes, which was what the agent said when negotiating with Kupchek.

Jackson smiled and said, "It proved that you are not a cancer. You may fight for another big contract next summer, so you are not here to grab the Lakers' ball rights, right?"

Leidel nodded. There is no need to lie in this regard. He hoped to get a big contract this year, but no team was willing to give it to him, so he chose the Lakers.

Jackson continued: "The Lakers don't have the salary space to give you a big contract. You know this from the beginning, so you can't play for a long time with the Lakers, only this season. Jason is a potential newcomer. He has potential and is more worthy of training than you. Can you understand why I gave Jason the ball?"

Of course, Ledel understood, and he had nothing to say immediately. Who would give up cultivating potential newcomers for the sake of a Lakers who only played a thorn for a year?

Moving one's emotions and explaining one's reason is how Jackson communicates with players. He is good at putting powerful relationships on the surface, but although it's slapping people in the face, it makes people have no way to refute it. Rodman could only obey his arrangements at that time because he was unreasonable.

Jackson's tone was very gentle, but Ledel could hear a little threat. If he continued to make trouble, there would be only one ending, which was to be cut by the Lakers, because he was not here to defend the Lakers, but to grab the ball. It would be useless if he didn't admit it, and it was clear at a glance.

If he is cut by the Lakers this season, his NBA career will basically be over, and there will never be a team giving him a chance to perform. The Lakers' actions will prove that he is a rescued cancer.

Ledel is a problem player, but he is not mentally retarded and dare not mention the ball rights anymore.

Jackson first slapped and then gave a sweet date. "I know you are unhappy, so I will give you the opportunity to prove yourself. Kobe won't play for a long time in the preseason. If you get the ball rights and lead the team to ensure the preseason record, I will consider giving you more performance opportunities and playing time in the regular season. Can you accept it?"

"Yes." Leidel replied, he had no choice at all, and this promise was better than nothing.

"Then you go back and have a good rest and work hard tomorrow's game." Jackson smiled and issued an order to expel guests.

After Ledel left, assistant coach Lambis asked: "If you give him the ball in the preseason, would you want Jason to play without the ball?"

"No, I'm going to reduce Jason's playing time in the preseason and allow him to save his energy to meet the regular season. He can attack with the ball, play well, and do well during training without much running-in." Jackson said lightly.

"Do you trust him so much?" Ranbill smiled. He guessed that Jackson didn't want his opponent to understand Guo Xu's reality so quickly. There is no video in the summer league and Drew League. The preseason is different, which helps the opponent collect information.

"I believe he will become the Lakers' surprise in the regular season. Let Liddle play randomly in the preseason, so that he can see himself clearly and be honest in the future."

Jackson is not optimistic about Ledell at all. This arrangement is just to give the stars more rest. The OK combination does not need to prove himself, and he retains his energy to play in the regular season.
