275. Jeremy Lin

"Hey, boss, you really came so early. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This rough voice, this awkward accent, this unaccustomed feeling, such Chinese, Liu Ren has not yet turned around, he knows who is coming.

"Yo, Jeremy, your Chinese is good! You're pretty early, I've just arrived, and I'm just starting to warm up. Liu Ren turned around and said hello to Jeremy Lin.

As for why the young teammates collectively began to call themselves BOSS this year, which means boss and boss, Liu Ren was a little confused at first, but he simply agreed with their names.

Kobe Bryant also acquiesced to this, he identified with Liu Ren very much, and regarded Liu Ren as his successor and the future boss of the team.

"Haha, I have been learning Chinese with my father for the past two years, but he also immigrated to the United States early, Chinese is enough, I went back to China to learn Chinese for two months in the summer, how is it, okay?" Jeremy Lin said proudly.

"yes, that's cool." To be honest, Liu Renting admires Jeremy Lin, in basketball, in addition to the advantage of fast speed, Jeremy Lin is basically a disadvantage in other aspects, but it is not easy to still gain a firm foothold in the NBA!

And as a Chinese born in the United States and almost never learned Chinese since childhood, in his 20s, he can still learn Chinese to the point of being able to communicate fluently in two or three years, which is really admirable!

Although, Liu Ren had to be very careful to understand what Jeremy Lin said, after all, this accent was too uncomfortable!

"Jeremy, how does it feel to be on the Lakers? If you're playing under Mike, I think you'll have a lot of chances! Liu Ren is very happy to have another Chinese American who has gained a foothold in the NBA and become his teammate, which proves that relatively average talent Chinese can also play in the NBA, making him still very confident in the future Chinese national team.

Liu Ren was very sad not to be able to participate in the World Cup this summer, but according to the news that Chen Hanni got from the familiar media in China when she returned to China to visit relatives, the chairman of the Basketball Association seems to have been impeached and is about to step down, precisely because this is the first time in 30 years that he has not entered the World Series, it is said that Yao Ming is ready to run for the next president of the Basketball Association, and the call is very high!

Liu Ren feels very excited about this!

"I've never played on a team like this, and I feel like the championship is very close to me, but I don't know if I can play as a main player, there are too many point guards on the team!" Jeremy Lin was a little lonely.

Liu Ren understands Jeremy Lin very well, in the past two or three years, Jeremy Lin has experienced the peak and won a big contract, but during the big contract, he fell to the bottom again, and even the starting position was robbed last season, and he didn't even have the occasional chance to play.

"Don't worry, don't look at the team's point guards, but you really don't have the breakthrough ability like you, don't think too much, come and train! We have a new defensive assistant coach on our team, and we are probably going to be tired this year......"

……

D'Antoni is now in a mixed mood and conflicted.

Dan D'Antoni, the older brother of head coach D'Antoni, was fired by management for the simple reason that as the head assistant coach, Dan D'Antoni has little ability and average vision, and in the offseason he suggested that Kupchak use Liu Ren to sign with the Knicks first and then trade for Anthony.

So Kupchak went along with the boat and fired Dan D'Antoni.

After this incident, D'Antoni was very angry, and he wanted to be angry with the crown as his eldest brother, and wanted to resign in anger.

Usually, the head coach of a team has the right to decide the members of his assistant coaching team, and generally the management will not interfere, just like in the first two years of D'Antoni's coaching, the management has seen that Dan D'Antoni is not capable of coaching even assisting in the NBA team, but for the sake of D'Antoni's face, he does not care about these things.

Now the management is clearly trying to weaken D'Antoni's influence in the team, and the management has decided on the head of the head coach, and is D'Antoni's least favorite defensive coach.

However, D'Antonis didn't quit after thinking about it, because his dream championship was only one step away from him! And the team also brought in Jeremy Lin, one of his favorite point guards, and apparently the team gave him some comfort after stripping him of some power.

Watching a crowd of players surround Bickerstaff has mixed feelings, and after four losses to Popovich, he now knows that he may really need Bickerstaff to win a championship.

Kobe Bryant called the players together two weeks in advance, just to cooperate with Bickerstaff to run in the defensive system, last season the Lakers players groped for themselves, because the team is mostly composed of young players, energetic, defensive talent, has an above-average level of defense, but there is still a distance from the top.

Defense depends on attitude, and the Lakers players have a good defensive attitude, after all, there is Kobe Bryant's mountain on his head, and his record is so good, everyone is happy to play, and everyone is willing to defend.

So what the Lakers lack most now is a defensive system, the defensive system seems complicated, but it is actually very simple, only three points need to be done.

The most important thing is the defensive attitude!

The Lakers already have that, and all that's left is defensive positioning and defensive rotation strategy.

Where are the pitchers who break through and block and open up space, how should the defenders stand, who should help the defense, and how to stand up for the defense without the help defense task, these are the things that Bickerstaff needs to teach these young players.

"Nick, the opponent is on the line and breaks through, you should go to the edge of the three-second zone, not just plug it, there are Paul and Hassan in the middle to intercept, and your task is to watch the pitcher in the bottom corner and defend the hole under the empty cut basket at all times! Just said Nick, Zach, how can you make this kind of mistake, shrinking the basket is Kenta's task......"

"Drummond and Paul are doing a good job, Steve, you just need to follow Lin, you don't have to make up the ......"

Bickerstaff had a bit of a headache, and despite the start of training camp two weeks earlier, the defensive habits of this group of players were so poor that it was not easy to change anytime soon.

"No, Bernie, why can the boss defend wherever he wants!" Nick Young called out dissatisfied.

Nick Young had a lot of fun last season, with good stats and even finished in the top five in the Sixth Man of the Year poll, so he's very aggressive on the defensive end and wants to make up for it when he sees whoever gets the ball.

But sometimes the position is very important, the opponent's pass must be passed to the empty player, if there is a player standing not far in front of the empty player, can be defended at any time, the passing player will naturally have concerns.
