Yang Rui chatted with Kobe Bryant alone and changed his plan at the beginning of the season. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Kobe, don't pursue an average of 35 points per game, the team is too strong, and it's unrealistic to achieve this goal. Unless you take more than 30 shots per game to ensure efficiency, you have to brush another game like the Rockets...... How can that happen twice in a season? ”

Kobe Bryant sighed, and also felt that this thing was impossible, always rubbing time to score points and offend people.

"So what do I do next?"

"Play normally, cooperate more, play team basketball, help the team win more games, as long as you get the first record in the regular season, this year's MVP will definitely be yours. In the scoring list, as long as you can surpass Iverson and ensure that you are in first place, it is not bad to win the scoring title for three consecutive years. If the team is a lot ahead, I'll take you off and rest. ”

"So be it."

Kobe Bryant is easy to talk to, because the 35-point goal was proposed by Yang Rui, and he couldn't imagine it in the summer. It's not his goal, so naturally he won't be paranoid, and it's not so difficult to let go.

Jordan's 37.1-point season was swept home in the first round of the playoffs, and his season with an average of 35 points per game was slightly better, and the playoffs only reached the second round.

The premise for a star to score a single season high is in a bad team, playing a long time, and maintaining a high number of shots, Jordan has 27.8 shots and 24.4 shots in two years, and Kobe Bryant does not have this condition.

In February, Bryant proved that he can be selfless. He controlled the number of shots, ensured scoring efficiency, increased penetration, and attracted defenders to help his teammates.

The environment can change a person. Anyone who regularly watches Lakers games knows that Kobe Bryant in 2002-2007 is completely different from Kobe Bryant in 2007-2010. This period of time can be regarded as Kobe's peak, when Kobe Bryant competed for the scoring title, he shot a lot, and during the Lakers' two championships, Kobe Bryant did not shoot a lot, and he could make adjustments for his teammates.

Now, it's not the scoring champion who attracts Kobe the most, but the MVP and the championship, and he's moving toward that goal.

Not only did Kobe give up the ball, but Yao Ming also reduced the number of shots and increased the number of passes according to Yang Rui's arrangement. He is very effortless, and his statistics are not bad, but his scoring data has dropped to 19.2 points, averaging 11.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.3 blocks per game.

Yao Ming's average of 4 assists per game is the biggest highlight, and Di Wattsby is not far behind, and he is the best among the centers. A 2.3 block is a qualified perimeter defender, and if he hadn't been limited to playing time, it's not surprising that in the Lakers system, a block break of 3 would not have been a surprise.

Yao Ming's ratings have been rising, and many experts can see that he is the axis of the Lakers and the tactical core of the team most of the time.

Pau Gasol averaged only 20.8 points per game in his career, and he was highly rated, not only because he won two championships with the Lakers, but also because of his tactical position and outstanding adaptability.

Now Yao Ming has done Gasol's job, coupled with the identity of a Chinese star, the exposure rate is super high, and his popularity is far greater than that of Gasol in his previous life.

After the All-Star Game voting began, Chinese fans voted for the "drug combination", and the two were far ahead from the beginning and eventually became starters.

Even if Kobe Bryant scored 84 points, he could only rank second in the league with 2488089 votes; Yao Ming became the Denver All-Star ticket king with a record-breaking 2688548 votes.

The other three Western star starters are Duncan (Spurs), Garnett (Timberwolves), and Nash (Suns).

The Timberwolves can't make the playoffs this year, but Garnett's personal performance is still eye-catching, averaging 22.4 points, 13.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

Garnett has scored 20+10+5 for 6 consecutive seasons, the first in NBA history.

Western Conference bench seven: Ginobili (Spurs), O'Neal Jr., Marion (Suns), Pau Gasol, Byron Davis (Grizzlies), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Anthony (Nuggets).

The West has a very high concentration of stars, almost exclusively selected from the top five teams. At present, the Lakers, Suns, Spurs, Mavericks, and Grizzlies in the West have a significantly higher winning percentage than other teams, and experts predict that the eighth place in the West will only need 40 wins this year.

Yang Rui became the head coach of the Western Army.

The starting five in the East: Iverson (76ers), Carter (Raptors), Maddy (Bulls), James (Cavaliers), O'Neal (Heat).

Ben Wallace's popularity has been a rollercoaster ride, and he was able to start last season, and this year the Knicks are 11th in the East, and he can't even make the top five in the center. If he can't win, he can't prove that he defends well.

However, after being brutalized by the Lakers, O'Neal didn't have much energy to play the All-Star Game, and all he thought about was whether he could win the championship in the Heat, and if not, where would he go in the future?

Eastern Conference bench seven: Wade (Heat), Arenas, Stoudmire (Wizards), Pierce (Celtics), Elton Brand (Bulls), Memet Oku (Pistons), Billups (Raptors).

Billups averaged 17.4 points and 6.5 assists per game this season, and formed a new backcourt duo with Carter, and his strength was finally recognized.

Oku was also selected as an All-Star for the first time, and the Pistons had a strong performance with a third-place record in the East. Oku's ability to evacuate is very crucial, averaging 18 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, all of which are career highs, shooting 46% from the field and 38.4% from three-point range.

Jeff Van Gundy is good at training the center, and Oku is playing a bit like Ewing right now.

The coach of the East Army is Pat Riley, who replaced Stan Van Gundy, and after his return, he immediately used the Thunder wrist to stabilize the players' emotions, and then arranged new offensive and defensive tactics, reusing Wade as the team's first core, ensuring a winning rate.

This is also the reason why O'Neal is depressed, not only is he challenged as the league's No. 1 center, but the position of the Heat team boss is about to be lost, he has been happy for a year after leaving the Lakers, and now he is about to enter a low point in his life.

Maddy missed 17 games due to injury, and the Bulls slipped to second place in the East, behind the Heat.

Maddie began to show the characteristics of the glass man, and her state declined slightly, but her popularity was still there.

The Lakers will participate in the Star Weekend, and two point guards, Mo Williams and Damon Jones, will participate in the three-point contest together. Mo will also represent the second-year rookie in the rookie challenge, and Iguodala will represent the first-year rookie in the competition.

Taking Yang's suggestion, Iguodala was also invited to participate in this season's slam dunk contest against the Wizards' Stoudamire, the Hornets' J.R. Smith, and the Hawks' Josh Smith.

Iguodala doesn't need to be on the team with the ball, and he only plays 24 minutes per game, so he has enough stamina and time to study dunk moves, and if he wins, he can boost his popularity and that of the team.

Yang Rui knows that if Iguodala does not participate in this year, it will be difficult to win the championship in the future, because Nate Robinson of "Potato II" will join the NBA, and his height of 175CM will add points to the slam dunk contest.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the 2006 slam dunk contest was simply shady, Robinson did four last moves in the finals to complete, and it was not beautiful, if it was changed to future rules, he would have overtime and zero points.

Iguodala lost out on creativity as the two sides went into overtime and he ran out of prepared moves. Now Iguodala has Yang Ruiti's suggestion, and he doesn't have to worry about fancy dunk moves.

On the evening of February 17, the Lakers rushed to Denver, and the star weekend was about to begin.
