In early October, the preseason began, and Yao Ming was excluded from the Lakers' preseason roster. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first game against the Warriors, Yang Rui began to practice the lineup, with Rashid Wallace as the starting center, Dior as a big forward, and Iguodala, Kobe, and Damon Jones on the outside.

The Lakers' tactics are very simple, Iguodala moves on the right side of the baseline, Rashid gives Jones off-ball cover on the left side, helps him run to catch the ball, does not cut himself, and waits for opportunities to shoot.

Kobe Bryant holds the ball on the right side and goes heads-up, and if he can't break in, he can pass to the high Dior secondary organization.

Lakers bench five: Mo Williams, Ariza, Wharton, Cook, Odom.

The tactics are still blocking and organizing forwards, and the person in charge of the central organization has become Wharton, who and Dior are in the same direction.

AT 203CM TALL AND WEIGHS 105 KILOGRAMS, WHARTON IS A PLAYER WITH A HIGH BALL QUOTIENT.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in Wharton's peak 06-07 season, he played an average of 33 minutes per game, scoring 11.4 points, 5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1 steal, shooting 47.4% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range. As long as he is a playmaker, he can make a difference.

The Lakers' second lineup is not weak, Cook's accurate shooting is his specialty in college, Mo Williams runs to the side to catch the ball and shoot, Odom can also cut to the inside, looking for misplaced opportunities, and being followed by the inside can respond to the pass at the baseline and organize the offense.

Diop, Hojberg and others are all marginal people, plus Yao Ming, the new season mainly relies on 11 people to rotate.

The Lakers won the first game 102-96.

Kobe Bryant played only 28 minutes, had 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and had a good performance, Rashid shot 6-of-11, 2-of-4 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line-out to finish with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Lakers bench had three players score in double figures, Odom, More, Williams and Cook. Cook made 3-of-4 three-pointers for a total of 4-of-6 shooting and finished with 11 points.

In the second game, the Lakers upset 108-104 over the Suns after the upgraded lineup.

Yang Rui asked Odom and Rashid to start together, and both pulled out, Odom organized in the middle, and Rashid moved on the right.

Rashid broke the Suns' defense when he received the ball on the right side, and in the face of the small man, he shot directly is an opportunity, and if he doesn't shoot, he can also drop the ball to Kobe Bryant on the right side.

Kobe Bryant can face three threats, can go head-to-head with his back, turn around and jump back, single-handedly swing the opponent, and play the inside line in a misplaced position, all of which ensure a good shooting percentage.

Rashid played comfortably, hitting two more three-pointers and finishing with 14 points, six rebounds and three assists. He did a good job of playing against O'Neal Jr. on the defensive end, afraid of strong men, not afraid of technical inside, especially O'Neal Jr. was still the younger brother of his Trailblazers, and he had a psychological advantage.

Rashid's stats were not good, and O'Neal Jr. only scored 15 points and 8 rebounds, shooting 40% from the field.

The Suns mainly play run-and-bomb tactics, Yao Ming does not play, and the Lakers are highly mobile, which is just aimed at the opponent's lineup. The Suns still led by 7 points in the first half, and in the second half, Hill and Marion both played less than 15 minutes, and were reversed by the Lakers.

After that, the Lakers lost to the Spurs and Grizzlies, defeated the Rockets and Mavericks, and won the last game against the Warriors, with a 5-2 record in the preseason.

Bryant's playing time has been kept under 30 minutes, with some reservations. The Lakers' longest-serving players are Dio, Iguodala, and Ariza, and Yang Rui focuses on these three swing men.

Iguodala's most surprising thing is that he is now a fighter, he has a good ability to score on the counter-attack, he relies on his explosive physical fitness, the first step is very fast, and the defender is difficult to stop if he is not in good shape, similar to Vince Carter when he first entered the league.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Iguodala's first two seasons were average, and as soon as Iverson was sent to the Nuggets, Iguodala's statistics immediately rose to 18.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2 steals, and he had great potential.

Dior's scoring ability is slightly inferior, and his victory lies in the weird style of the ball, often sending second passes, assisting teammates who cut in the air, and he is also an instant combat force.

Yang Rui has a bit of a headache about how to arrange the playing time.

Yao Ming, Rashid, and Odom can ensure that the inside rotation is guaranteed, each playing for 30 minutes, and the regular time for the two positions is 96 minutes, is there 6 minutes left for Dior to play? What a waste!

It's okay to let Dio play as a small forward, Iguodala plays 30 minutes per game, and the remaining 18 minutes are given to Dio, so that Wharton is completely a decoration and can only be a fringe man.

The Lakers lineup is too extravagant, if no one is injured, it will be difficult for Wharton to play, and Cook and Diop can only be sparring partners.

The No. 2 Kobe Bryant is a runner, playing an average of more than 40 minutes per game, Yang Rui wants him to compete for the scoring title, Ariza is not good to cultivate this season.

The Lakers No. 1 position is the weakest, and the playing time is well allocated, Jones and Williams will play a little longer if they are in good shape, and the main task is to catch and shoot.

Due to the Olympics, this year's regular season started later to give the players more time to rest.

Kobe Bryant invited all the players to dinner during the holiday and gave him a laptop as a gift, and his logo was printed on the computer.

As soon as Yang Rui threw out the concept and design of the scabbard, it was adopted by Nike, and the scabbard extending in three directions symbolizes Kobe's role as an attacker, defender and leader on the court.

Obviously, this is a great crystal T-KU.

In the first official power list of the NBA, the Lakers ranked 6th, a significant improvement from last season.

Last time, Yang Rui was not optimistic about the Wizards, and the final result was a big surprise, this time the experts analyzed the strength of each team and directly ranked the Lakers in front, the reason is that Jerry Young led the team and never missed the division finals.

In front of them are the Spurs, Heat, Mavericks, Suns, Pistons, and the lineup is very strong.

On November 2, the Lakers' home opener against the Nuggets, who are ranked seventh in the power rankings, was the highlight of the round, which was more attractive than the defending champion Spurs vs. Grizzlies on the same day.

In the evening, Yang Rui entered the dressing room early and chatted with Yao Ming in Chinese.

"Tonight you attract defense and try to help Kobe Bryant create scoring opportunities, I have already told Kobe Bryant that he has unlimited shots this time, and when he plays the Knicks, he will try to help you score and reduce shots. You can also brush up on your stats today, try to block as much as you can when defending, grab rebounds, and cover your opponent without having to save and interfere with outside shots. ”

Although his teammates couldn't understand Chinese, Yao Ming was still a little embarrassed, and it was outrageous to discuss and brush data so blatantly.

He whispered: "I don't guard out, what should I do if the opponent has a high outside shooting percentage?" ”

"Hitting people and marking people, encountering cover that makes you misplaced with Hamilton, can you keep up? The guy ran for 48 minutes without panting. Yang Rui said with a smile.

"Can't keep up." Yao Ming admitted that he was most afraid of that type of player. "When defending, shouldn't you interfere and jump less?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "I don't want to cultivate you into a tumor, you don't jump in the playoffs, just prevent it from going out." In the regular season, stats are more important than playing reasonably. To become a superstar, you must have a record and data, both of which are indispensable, you have been delayed for two years, now you have to take advantage of your youth to brush out the data first. ”

"Okay." Yao Ming smiled, he actually wanted to hit the luxury data as well.

In 2006, Yao Ming was a restricted free agent, and without data, there would be no maximum salary, and the agent behind him didn't want him to save money for the Lakers owner.
