After the previous four consecutive wins, the Los Angeles Lakers' next opponents are very strong, and all of them are able to restrain the Lakers for many people, as far as the current Lakers team is concerned, many people are not a team that can be elegant, a team without a traditional center and interior defense, and it can only be coquettish when facing a weak team.

Even some people have always thought that even in the face of weak teams, if it weren't for the fact that the league is getting more and more empty now, this Laker may not be able to play such a record in the first four games, if you put this Laker 10 years ago, or six or seven years ago, the most garbage team Raptors can have two quasi-All-Star level interior era, this Laker will die a miserable death, of course, these are all speculations, Just as Los Angeles fans and the Los Angeles media are slowly starting to see if their own team will score more than 110 points per game, it may not be just speculation in the coming period.

The next schedule of the Los Angeles Lakers is a trip to the Southwest, but this trip to the Southwest is not so orthodox, not all of them are away from home to all the Southwest teams, which is a pseudo Southwest trip, because the Los Angeles Lakers need to play at home against the Hornets on November 8, the team in the Southwest Division, and after playing with the Hornets, they need to play the Raptors away on November 10, Kwame Brown and Anthony and Mobley led the team, and then on November 12, they will visit San Antonio in the Southwest. Then challenge the Spurs, who have one of the best interior players in the league, and none of these three games will be easy, even for a team like the Hornets that looks a little weak.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been doing well recently, and the big wins in four consecutive games have allowed Zhuang Fei to regain the trust of the city, and many times the NBA is such a reality. If in the first few months. Even if Zhuang Fei said more. No matter how good he is, but if he loses in the first few games of the season, then he will become the object of suspicion in this city, the head coach of the NBA has very little capital, although Zhuang Fei now carries the halo of the first head coach in the United States and even the halo of the world's first head coach, but before Phil Jackson came, his aura was not bad. And his results in Los Angeles aren't bad.

But Lakers fans don't buy his account, in fact, for basketball fans in these big cities. Maybe they are more demanding than the Real Madrid and Barcelona fans in the football world, of course, this is not only the unique characteristics of big city football fans, the whole NBA is the same, a league that originally packaged itself with business and entertainment is originally an impersonal league, if you want to get a human touch in this league, then you need to have the ability to break the restrictions and constraints of business and entertainment, and Zhuang Fei has done well in the Timberwolves and Celtics, as for the Lakers, Zhuang Fei has not thought about it yet, What he needs now is a more relaxed coaching environment, and the environment in Los Angeles right now is already very good, except that the media is crazy.

"Paul, you're too sticky right now, be careful with your passing, now you should get the ball to Webb accurately and cut into the air"

On the training ground of the Los Angeles Lakers, Zhuang Fei frowned and looked at the rookie point guard on the court a little helpless, Paul's ability is very strong, in fact, all players who have improved their ability to 90 or above in the NCAA are very strong, and entering the NBA with the ability of 91 is rare in the history of the league, for such a talented player. It's hard to find fault with him, but Paul has a very bad problem right now.

Of course. This is also the reason why Zhuang Fei has not been able to throw him into the starting lineup. This point guard's ability to control the ball is really good, so subconsciously keep the ball in his own hands, maybe for most teams in the league, this is not a bad problem, sticky ball does not mean alone, although Paul sticks to the ball but is happy to pass, but his pass needs to be when he must find an absolute vacancy to pass, and this style of play is actually a point guard-centric play, if Paul is the boss of an NBA team, or the boss of a team, This style of play is actually very good, but it is clear that the Lakers are not a point guard right now, and they can't be centered on Paul. Except, of course, the offense of the substitutes.

This is actually a very contradictory thing, the current Paul has no way to convert between different modes, as far as the current Lakers starters are concerned, what is needed is for everyone to share the ball together, if it is to play the No. 5 tactic, then it is everyone around Webber to continue to attack, but Paul's style is a bit empty whether it is the No. 5 tactics or the Terminator tactics, so it can only play 1-4 tactics, but the 1-4 tactics are not the mainstream tactics of the Lakers at present, even the bench lineup is not used, In this case, the Lakers' rookie point guard has not fully developed his energy, although he and Kobe Bryant are very rebellious in terms of data, but in fact, his role in the team is far inferior to Kobe, according to Zhuang Fei's thinking, Paul can not only be a substitute this season, he and Kobe should be the same in Zhuang Fei's design.

"Coach, Chris has done a good job, he is slowly adapting to this new style of play, I think it's just a matter of time, his ball quotient is very high" Looking at Zhuang Fei, who kept shouting to the training ground, the team's assistant coach is also Paul's senior Stephen Green also said with a smile, in his eyes, Paul is already perfect, at least not inferior to Carter and Duncan of the same age, this point guard was a single core when he was in Wake Forest, Although a large part of the reason why Wake Forest won the championship has a lot to do with Gerard Wallace or Yi Jianlian, Wake Forest has only one tactical core, coupled with the style of play that has been cultivated since high school, it is not so easy for this point guard to change in a short period of time, but it is already very good now, so Zhuang Fei also nodded after he finished speaking.

Zhuang Fei certainly knows that Paul is doing well now, and in the months after the draft, he is more about strengthening his body, strengthening the team, adapting to NBA confrontations, and some NBA-level technical skills, and after the start of season training camp, he has begun to learn various tactics. In this regard, he mastered the 1-4 tactic faster than Wade, not a little bit. It's not just a matter of ball quotient. This little guy is really working hard, but maybe Zhuang Fei is too demanding of him.

And after hearing Zhuang Fei's loud orders on the sidelines, in fact, these Lakers players on the court were very helpless, because Paul's ability had already been recognized by them at this time, but since the start of the Lakers training camp this season, that is, since Zhuang Fei returned to the team on October 2, Zhuang Fei has never been satisfied with the performance of the team's small point guard on the training ground, which also makes Paul's Lakers teammates sympathize with this little guy. Even in their opinion, Paul is now the league's first-line point guard, and will definitely be able to become one of the best point guards in the league in the future, they have high expectations for Paul, but in Zhuang Fei's heart, a Paul needs to do more than this, this young guard can not only be one of the best point guards in the league.

Of course, for the Lakers, it is a very happy thing to train like this every day, although Zhuang Fei has been roaring at Paul in training, but all the players at the Lakers training ground are all the kind of extremely eye-catching aerial watching when they play training games. If a reporter can photograph such an internal training game of the Lakers, it is estimated that these people will be dumbfounded.

"Little Chris. Are you okay, I don't think the coach deliberately targeted you" When the Los Angeles Lakers' practice was over, looking at Paul, who had been practicing frontal mid-range shooting, Kobe Bryant was also a little curious, because the young point guard's shooting skills were jaw-dropping, this small point guard didn't care about shooting crickets in the front, and these cricket shots were extremely high, he had never seen any player in the league who could play frontal shooting so well, even Duncan of the Spurs, That's just a 45-degree board, even with Kobe Bryant's current self-esteem that he thinks he is the second best in the world, he doesn't think he can make such a strange way of shooting, of course, when you think of this kid's point guard's height Kobe Bryant can also understand, whether it is his good throwing or this kind of shooting is to make up for his lack of height and make his shooting less disturbed.

"I'm fine, don't worry" As the boss of his team, Zhuang Fei told the guard when he came to the team, hoping that he could become a team leader, how to become a team leader He doesn't know, in fact, when he and O'Neal competed for the team boss, he simply thought that he should be the player who shot and attacked the most on the court, because only the team boss has such a right, as for what the team leader is, he doesn't understand, I guess he couldn't imitate anything from O'Neill.

If O'Neal's personal ability is extremely strong, then when it comes to leading the team, he is really not necessarily much better than Kobe, the personalities of these two people are too similar, of course, it doesn't matter, Kobe is very willing to learn, and he is also willing to learn, he has not been a team leader, and the coach has not told him how to be a team leader, but isn't his good friend Maddie also the boss of the Celtics? He should be, so the Lakers player has been learning from Maddie recently, and Maddy is telling the new Lakers player that the leader of a team is that when your team players are unhappy, you can just go and make them happy, which is very straightforward, there are not too many detours, as two high school players, there is not such a high level of language, but Kobe Bryant wrote it down.

It's just that the Lakers guard is a little helpless that he is not needed on the team at all. Love's players, not to mention the three veterans, his old rival Jackson in high school doesn't need his care, as for some other newcomers, there is nothing unhappy, in fact, a group of players who are not predicted to be selected at all were selected by Zhuang Fei in the first round of the Lakers, what else can there be to be unhappy, and now the only unhappy one in the Lakers team is probably the only one left in this team's new organizational guard, so the relationship between Paul and Kobe Bryant is very close these days, because the team has two Chris, so Kobe Bryant is used to calling Paul Chris Jr。

Of course, although Kobe Bryant cares about Paul very much, this is because he hopes that he can become a good leader, but for Paul, he really has no way to say some things to Kobe, and he really has no dissatisfaction with Zhuang Fei, he knows that the head coach has high requirements for him, and he said to himself ten years ago that he will become the first point guard in the league, so since he is the first point guard in the league, then he must be more demanding. So every time he thinks about this, Paul doesn't think that Zhuang Fei is deliberately targeting him, so in the face of Kobe's kindness, Paul can only accept it in his heart.

"By the way, little Chris, who learned this board shooting of yours more? Can you teach me? Kobe Bryant saw that Paul's face had improved a lot, and thought that he had successfully solved it, and he smiled happily and said to Paul that he was very curious about these new things, especially this very peculiar way of shooting.

"This is what my master taught" Paul was a little puzzled when he saw Kobe Bryant, so he continued: "Duncan of the Spurs is my master, and his shooting is better than mine, but if you want to learn, I can also teach"

Kobe Bryant was a little curious about Paul's master, but when Paul told him that he could teach him to play and shoot, the Lakers guard was also extremely excited not to care about these things, in fact, it is not difficult to play the board and shoot, this is a very simple technical action, basically everyone can learn and do it, but some skills in playing board shooting, or grasping the point of hitting the board, this is indeed a very laborious thing, and Kobe Bryant wants Paul to teach these are naturally these

On November 8th, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Hornets, which was the beginning of the Lakers' consecutive matches against the Southwest team, this game Zhuang Fei did not use the traditional three old pairing of the starter, but let Webb take Kobe, Paul and Szzebiak and Josh Smith played a different tactic, this game is the first time Paul has become the team's starting tactical core, this game Lakers' tactics are also very simple, that is, blocking and dismantling, not short by Kobe and Webb to block and dismantle, And the final result of this game was also 120-98, and the Los Angeles Lakers won again at home. Paul played the core for the first time and got 15 assists in 36 minutes, while Kobe Bryant continued his 30+ performance, and the tacit understanding between the two surprised Zhuang Fei.

After defeating the Hornets, the Lakers officially started their trip to the Southwest, which was predicted in advance by many American experts as the schedule of the Lakers' humiliating journey. (To be continued.) )
