After taking the makeup photos, the league also announced the schedule for the 2007-08 season. The Lakers training ground is "happy" and won a more gloomy "Black Mamba"!

The Lakers' season opener is at home against the Suns.

In the past two years, the Lakers have reached the playoffs twice, both in the hands of the Phoenix Suns.

Especially in the 2005-06 season, when the Lakers were leading 3-1, they were pulled 3 games in a row by the Suns, and they lost the series in disgrace. In the fourth game of the series, Kobe shocked everyone with his "double lore" performance. He thought that his two lore shots broke the Suns' mentality. He didn't expect it to be "the long night is coming".

After that game, the Lakers played a total of 7 games with the Suns in the playoffs, and the Lakers won only 1 game.

With Kobe's character, the Suns are naturally mortal enemies in his eyes at this moment.

Low air pressure is also normal.

Speaking of which, Li Wan has not spoken to Kobe yet.

It's not that Kobe was targeting him. Although the summer soap opera has ended, the big news that Old Buss promised him has yet to appear.

It is estimated that he will not be able to relax his tense nerves until the "big earthquake" occurs.

Now facing anyone on the Lakers, he has a straight face when he talks.

Lamar Odom also set up a bet in the locker room, betting that Bryant would laugh for the first time in a few months.

In the last half month, as the players gradually recovered and Tex Winter returned, Phil Jackson also began to conduct more detailed tactical training.

"Zen Master" returned to the Lakers in 2005.

But the Lakers' first two seasons weren't the "triangle offense" they won for the "three-peat" in the early 2000s.

Aside from Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have not had a solid support point for the past two years.

However, this season, with Bynum's further growth in the summer, the entire coaching team believes that the opportunity to restart the "triangle offense" has come.

No, 88-year-old Winter is on the job again.

As the founder of "triangle attack tactics", no one knows "triangle attack" better than him.

Or the perimeter version of the "triangle attack".

The core of the Lakers' "three consecutive championships" in the 00-02 season was Shaq O'Neal, and the entire "triangle attack" was also developed around him by Phil Jackson.

During the Bulls period, Winter has been the team's assistant coach.

It would be more appropriate for him to integrate this Kobe-centered Lakers team to play "triangle tactics".

However, regaining the "triangle attack" is not a simple matter.

During the first team practice, Winter called off several times.

Kobe Bryant's choice of singles many times gave him a headache.

Don't make 1vN, don't rely on 1v0, don't exclude 1v1.

These are the three ultimate purposes of the "triangle offense" running the ball.

Different from the absolute "1v0" pursued by other offensive tactics, the "triangle tactics" is aimed at creating open positions or 1v1 singles from the very beginning, and then scoring through the superstar's excellent personal ability.

This is why the "Triangle Tactic" has always been called the "Superstar Tactic".

To a certain extent, the "triangle tactics" is the tactic that superstars can most "free themselves".

The problem with Kobe is that, in many cases, he believes in personal ability to score, rather than shooting in a theoretical absolute 1V1 or 1V0 situation.

Usually 1vN is the choice.

"It's really a second Michael Jordan, there's really no difference between the two in that regard!"

Phil Jackson couldn't help laughing when he heard Winter's complaints. When he was with the Bulls, Winter made a lot of complaints about Michael Jordan. Thought he was playing too selfishly.

But... Michael Jordan can be selfish, and he has Scottie Pippen, the greatest second-in-command in history. Even if he doesn't respond.

Pippen can help too.

The Lakers can't do it. Bynum's ability to play the ball is very reluctant, and counting on him to help is waiting for "the old sow to climb the tree".

That's it, before the "Triangle Offense" training started, we encountered a big problem!

Phil Jackson didn't practice as hard as "squeezing toothpaste".

Kobe Bryant fought alone for two seasons, and his desire to end is still strong. It is impossible to expect him to change all at once.

The offensive end is not well practiced, and the defensive end is not a small problem.

The 33-year-old Derek Fisher has further degraded his lateral footwork. Although it hasn't degenerated to the level of "pants-leg defense" later, it is really unlikely that he can be expected to block the opponent on a certain night, especially when facing those top point guards in the league.

In addition, Pau Gasol and Ariza have not been traded at this time, and the team lacks the inside and flank defense.

After Phil Handy watched it for two days, the final thought was to defend the zone defense.

This tactic has never been accepted by NBA head coaches. By this summer, Popovich relied on inter-defense to lock up LeBron James, which has become a treasure in the hearts of many coaches.

The only problem is that the NBA has the concept of "defense for three seconds". If you want to defend the zone defense, you need enough tacit understanding. Now that there are factors that have to move in the inside line, it is even more difficult to defend the zone defense.

The Spurs are also a group of main players who have played together for N years, and this has formed a sufficient tacit understanding.

Li Wan is one of the few bright spots.

Whether it is on the defensive end or in the training on the offensive end, he rarely makes mistakes, and his high ball intelligence is undoubtedly revealed in the process of the team's running-in.

Phil Jackson looks more and more satisfied.

"Lee, I plan to put you on the bench in the preseason, but I will make you play more than 25 minutes on the court every game."

Li Wan nodded.

The recent time spent together made him feel like he had "misunderstood" Phil Jackson.

Since entering the training camp, instead of hindering Li Wan's behavior at all, he has been very active in helping Li Wan adjust. Such a head coach is undoubtedly a blessing for a newcomer.

Mike Conley called Li Wan the day before yesterday and cried to him that he had been treated unfairly in Memphis: "They selected me with such a high pick, but they didn't plan to train me!"

It's so bad...

"Although you show your ability to hold the ball and shoot, you have made great progress in this area. You are very clear about this. The stage of the preseason is used to run in. I look forward to your good performance!"

Li Wan continued to nod.

When it comes to Phil Jackson's words, he feels that his relationship with the head coach should be better.

Um…

Blame Kupchak!

On October 25, the day before the preseason kicked off, the Lakers' media open day was on.

Kobe faced the camera and put pressure again: "I can't accept the same loss as last season, absolutely impossible!"

Phil Jackson took the initiative to mention Li Wan: "He is not on the right path. There may be such a problem since college. I believe everyone will see a different him. Among the rookies in the new season, the biggest Surprise, I think it's him!"
