"The slam dunk king says he'll sweep the Lakers in the new season ~"
……
The trade between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Suns and Grizzlies was quickly completed, and the NBA officials confirmed the two deals.
The Clippers sent Ceballos to the Suns in exchange for Robert Horry and the 1999 first round draft pick. Xiao Yang wanted to put Nash in the trade, but considering his long training period and unreliable defense, and Angie's reluctance to let go of the No. 15 pick this year, he did not force it.
The deal between the Los Angeles and Grizzlies was for the Los Angeles team to send Van Exel to the Grizzlies for the first round of the 99 and 01 draft picks.
"If this were 20 years later, not to mention two lottery first round draws, it would be good enough to get a lotto-protected draw.”Xiao Yang picked his nose. The NBA did not place much importance on draft picks.
It was unlike 20 years later, when the labor agreement had limited the space for the team to operate. Most teams could only rely on the potential of the draft and the benefits of the rookie contract to rebuild.
"Hey, Jerry, are you interested in going to Las Vegas with me?”Xiao Yang went to West's office.
"Las Vegas? Why, do you want to gamble?" West was confused. He thought to himself, I have a lot of work to do, how can I have the time to gamble with you?
" To watch the summer league, huh?" Xiao Yang scratched his head." As the boss, I have to see the performance of the rookies."”He would never admit that he was too bored and wanted to watch the game to satisfy himself.
"Why are you going to Las Vegas? There's no competition there.”West looked at his boss speechlessly. Did this guy not even know where the summer league was played?
"Isn't Xia Lian in Las Vegas?”This time, it was Xiao Yang's turn to be dumbfounded. In his later life, he had always watched the Laker and Xia Lian in Las Vegas.
Xiao Yang had really gotten it wrong this time. The Las Vegas Summer League would only be established after 2004. The current Los Angeles Clippers had been participating in the Southern California Summer League. In addition to the NBA teams, there were even many national teams participating in this league. It could be said to be a large-scale international league.
Xiao Yang touched his face as he understood the situation." Maybe I'm mistaken. Anyway, that's what I meant. How about it, Jerry? Do you want to go watch the game together?"”
West agreed this time. After all, inspecting players was one of his jobs.
It just so happened that there was a Laker game tonight. The two of them made an appointment and went to the stadium together. The previous game was the second summer league game played by the Los Angeles team. Against the Chinese national basketball team, Hu Weidong scored six three-pointers and scored 30 points. Kobe did not show any weakness. With seven minutes left in the game, he scored 10 consecutive points to help the team open the gap. In the end, he scored 22 points and took the victory.
When Xiao Yang and West arrived at the stadium, the game was about to start. It was a small stadium, and Xia Lian's popularity was not as high as it was in the past. There were not many cameramen, let alone television broadcasts. The audience was also sparsely seated in the stands.
Xiao Yang did not mind at all. Instead, he was eager to try. He did not want to play, but he wanted to sit in the technical area and show off with the tactical board. In the past, he could only see Zen Master, Popovich, and Patrick Riley playing on the sidelines on TV.
Now, he wanted to experience this feeling. After all, it was just a Summer United match. It wouldn't affect him much if he played a little.
Xiao Yang stood up and walked to the technical area. He and West were originally sitting in a row behind the substitutes 'bench." David, you can just watch the game from the side. I'll try to direct them."”Xiao Yang patted the head coach of the Laker and Xia United, signaling him to give him the tactical board.
Generally speaking, the head coach of Xia Lian in the NBA was the assistant coach of the team. The head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers was Delharis, a senior coach known as Silver Fox. The head coach of Xia Lian was an assistant coach on his coaching staff. It was not easy for him to satisfy the addiction of being a head coach, but in the end, he was targeted by his boss.
The unlucky fellow did not dare to say anything. After all, Xiao Yang was the boss. He obediently handed over the tactical board and shifted his butt to the side, giving up the position of the head coach.
Xiao Yang didn't stand on ceremony. He took the tactical board and didn't take any detours. With a somersault, he jumped to the substitutes 'bench in front of him. At this moment, West was dumbfounded. What was this weird boss trying to do? He was making people worry. It was tiring to work for him.
Xiao Yang didn't have the self-awareness of being a weirdo. Seeing that West didn't come over, he turned around and waved at him." Jerry, sit in the front. I'll discuss tactics with you later."”
It was easier to talk to someone he knew. He had only met David once or twice and was not very familiar with him. He asked him to sit further away and gestured for him to move to the side to make room for West.
David's heart was breaking down at the moment. The manager had been snatched away, and he could not even keep his assistant position. Fine, who asked one of them to be the boss and the other the manager? I can't afford to offend them, okay? He silently moved to the side.
"Xiao, what do you want?" West sat down and started to criticize Xiao Yang. There was a limit to how unreliable he was. This was a competition, and the old man was someone who took the competition very seriously. If Xiao Yang did this just for fun, even if he was the boss, he would have to make him submit.
"Relax, Jerry. Didn't I tell you before that you didn't use the dungeon properly? I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly, so I'll just give you a demonstration.”Xiao Yang spread his hands." And I want to experiment with a few new tactics. If they work, we can use them in the regular season.”
West's expression softened a little, but he was still in disbelief." Alright, I'll see how you command first.”He did not say anything else and waved his hand to signal Xiao Yang to set up the competition.
Clapping his hands, Xiao Yang gestured for the players to gather around. Seeing that it was their boss holding the tactical board, the players were a little surprised. Kobe was the first to come back to his senses." Hey, Xiao, are you commanding tonight?"”Smiling, he reached out his hand and gave Xiao Yang a fist bump.
"That's right, guys. I'm your manager tonight. I don't want to see you guys being afraid because I'm the boss.”Xiao Yang paused." Don't think about showing off just because I'm the boss. I hope you guys can play as a team." If you don't play according to my tactics, I'll directly press you on the bench.”
Xiao Yang looked at the players in front of him. Other than Kobe, Derek Fisher, and Ben Wallace, the rest were all fringe players. Without the protection of contracts, most players would be a little lonely on the court. They wanted to grind their numbers so that they could get an NBA contract.
"You guys play according to the tactics of the first two games. I'll take a look below.”Xiao Yang did not draw any new tactics. He planned to take a look first. After all, he was not a professional. In the past, he was just a fanatical fan. The tactics he knew were the ones that were frequently mentioned in the news. If you wanted him to counter every move, he would definitely be confused.
Tonight, the Laker was playing against the Heat. Both teams jumped the ball and the Laker got the right to attack.
Fisher slowly walked over to the court and passed the ball to Kobe, who came up to him just after half-court. Kobe also remembered his coach's arrangement. He hit the ground and passed the ball to Big Ben, who was in a good position at the free throw line. Big Ben clumsily dribbled the ball twice and leaned in to play. In the end, the Heat center moved his stool to the side when Big Ben exerted his strength. Big Ben did not catch it and took the ball two steps in.
Beep beep ~ Yellow Team No. 4, walking violation. The referee's whistle was blown immediately.
Xiao Yang's face turned green when he saw this. What the hell was this? He was playing a back-to-back game for a big dungeon? Are you kidding me? Time out, time out.
Less than 20 seconds into the game, the Los Angeles Clippers called the first time-out.
"Listen, guys, don't give the ball to the inside lane anymore. Everyone, run. Fisher, pick up your speed. I want you to cross the court in three seconds.”Xiao Yang quickly drew the strategy on the tactical board." Kobe, you receive the ball at the top of the arc. Fisher will use Kobe's cover to run to the end line. If he doesn't break away, the fourth position will be raised to a 45-degree angle for a second cover.”
"Big Ben will come online when Kobe is holding the ball. He will form a wall for Kobe and block him. Kobe will use his cover and speed to attack the center forward on the opposite side.”
"If the opposing guard chooses to pincer you from behind, Big Ben will take advantage of the lack of defense to cut through the air. If the opposing team has backup defense, Kobe, you will distribute the ball to the two bottom corners. The third position. Your task is to stand in the bottom corner like Fisher and pull the inside line apart.”Xiao Yang said as he looked at the nameless small forward.
"If the opponent doesn't defend in time, Kobe, you can directly give the big pass to the air. If the opponent doesn't double team you, you can choose to attack based on the situation.”Anyone who had watched the Cavaliers 'game would know Xiao Yang's tactic. He was using the star player's ability to break through the opponent's defense to force the opponent to tighten their defense and create space for the outside line to shoot. As long as the outside shot was accurate, it would be easy to break through the inside line.
Xiao Yang was using Kobe as James. Although Kobe was not as crazy as James, he was a star player in Xia Lian. The only test was that the outside shooting ability of the Laker had to be able to put pressure on the Heat's defense. Otherwise, the opponent would tighten the inside and watch the Laker hit the iron.
" Interesting." West narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yang thoughtfully.
Beep ~ The pause ended and the players returned to the field to continue playing.
