BAB 22 Officially gathered

All the Los Angeles Lakers players officially gathered after pre-season, and the NBA players' vacation was over.

Michael Udin and Kobe came to the arena to start their usual morning training, and two hours later, other players would also come to the training hall one after another.

Sports journalists from the mainstream media have also taken seats in the training room before. In addition to journalists, Delmar Harris' team coach also came early.

"I feel full of energy when I see you guys, and I hope you can maintain this energy.", Delmar Harris welcomed the arrival of Michael Udin and Kobe.

"Thank you for your affirmation, coach!", Michael Udin and Kobe replied in unison

The two brothers had received too much praise like this during their three years at Lower Merrion High School, and they both answered the coach's affirmation at the same time.

Other players and staff also came one after another. As a beginner, Michael Udin took the initiative to take Kobe and say hello to everyone.

On the first day of the meeting, Jerry West and Kupchak and the rest of the management also all arrived. At the appointed gathering time of nine o'clock, everyone still hadn't seen the legendary Shaquille O'Neal.

Without the presence of the team's top stars, management training cannot begin. Regarding the late arrival of Shaquille O'Neal, the coaching staff and management are still talking and laughing. NBA is such a management culture, superstars can have countless privileges. After thirty minutes later, Shaquille O'Neal changed clothes and came to the venue with sleepy eyes.

"Everyone here, which also means that the new season of the Los Angeles Lakers officially starts today.

We are a great team with a great history. With the addition of Shaquille O'Neal this year, we must maintain the dynasty's glory!

Hopefully we can achieve more victories under the leadership of coach Demar Harris! ", Jerry West's speech was very short, and the applause of the players was also weak, because the happy holiday had just ended, and some of them had not yet entered the working state.

Jerry West nodded at Delmar Harris and motioned for him to speak.

"This year we will develop tactics around Shaquille O'Neal. The competition in the Western Conference will continue to be fierce. I hope my players can enter training conditions as soon as possible.

The regular season is very long. We must prepare in advance. Two rookies have been added to the team. I hope they can be integrated into the team as soon as possible. Each of you is an important part of the team.

Next Let's do some recovery training", Delmar Harris didn't say much. Of course people like him know that these rich people can't listen to anything now.

"Hi! Shaq!, I'm Michael Udin you can call me Odin, this year's rookie! "Michael Udin took the initiative to find Shaquille O'Neal and greeted him.

"If you get paid, you eat nutritious food. I don't want my team to have big and skinny guys like you. I'm afraid to hurt you in training.", Shaquille O'Neal didn't look Michael Udin straight in the eye. He really enjoyed this feeling.

"Of course Boss", Michael Udin replied with a big smile

This kind of boss feels that he is superior to everyone else on the team. Obviously, the Orlando Magic couldn't give him such a right. For a beginner like Michael Udin, he has to understand his position.

One thing about Shaquille O'Neal is good, that is, he treats Kobe and Michael Udin equally, When the other old players greet him, Shaquille O'Neal gradually starts laughing.

Michael Udin knows that the NBA is like rivers and lakes, and each team's dressing room relationship is similar to that of coworkers in the office. Overall, there were fights where there were people, but in the end they spoke with power.

It wasn't until preseason that team members began to gradually regain their shape. At this time, the state of Michael Udin and Kobe had reached a peak state.

They can both get a lot of playing time in pre-season, whether they can get their own rotation place depends on their performance in this pre-season game.

God appreciate the hard work, the day after day training is finally showing results, Kobe and Michael Udin shine in the preseason game!

Delmar Harris once again adjusted this second level of beginners in his mind.

Because of Michael Udin's appearance, the Lakers did not choose Derek Fisher, the lack of marginal rotation in the guard line allowed Kobe to get more playing time. And Wang Dazhi's three-point ability is also destined to get a lot of chances in a team with Shaquille O'Neal at the core.

In the NBA preseason, the main players usually walk the field, while the novices and marginal players have to try their best to prove themselves.

Fortunately, but also inevitably, Wang Dazhi and Kobe both took advantage of the opportunity.

Many media and fans would think that NBA teams would use preseason opportunities to practice regular season tactics.

But in daily training, Coach Delmar Harris still continues to try team tactics, of course, every tactic is developed around Shaquille O'Neal.

The coaches who had coached Shaquille O'Neal always considered the lowly singles of the Sharks as the team's first offensive tactic.

To match Center Shaquille O'Neal, everyone had to clear the pitch after he had sat down, entered a catching state outside, or waited for an opportunity to cut.

If Shaquille O'Neal's foul is blocked, he has to create chances for other players. Pick-and-roll for ball carriers has become a very efficient method.

As an offensive status killer, Shaquille O'Neal is very resistant to pick-and-rolls for the ball carrier. He's always felt that doing things like that don't live up to his status, and pick-and-rolls are still tasks that don't fall under his belt. technical statistics.

But right now, young Shaquille O'Neal is obsessed with a quick break. He often rebounds and dribbles on his own. There will always be people who misunderstand Shaquille O'Neal, thinking that she is a person who only depends on her body... the rude older brother who grabbed the deep line.

In fact, Shaquille O'Neal's skills are very solid, when interacting with Michael Jordan at the All-Star Weekend, he relies on a clever dribble to get a big open score.
