The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 48 The Empathetic "Magician"!The temptation to sign!
"Hahaha, that makes me so happy!"

Johnson said while dribbling,
"You know, Dragons, especially in the last game against the Sonics, your crazy perimeter offense made countless commentators break their eyes. I feel that this kind of fast small ball play is likely to usher in a new era. .

The Phoenix people have proved that small ball whirlwind can win the game, if Steve can also lead them to win the championship, I am afraid that even those guys in San Antonio and Detroit will think about making changes. "

Although Nash did not have a championship in his life as a player, this gorgeous sun eventually faded away, and the old Nelson's Golden State gang also flashed in the pan in the black eight miracles. The door of the small ball era will not open until nearly ten years later.

But Zhang Bolong didn't mind coming to this half-hidden door and giving it a hard push, adding a piece of dry wood to the spark that was shining in the league.

As he said that, Johnson played an exquisite back pass, and after Zhang Bolong received the ball, he shot directly towards the distant basket.

Swish!
"Wow! If we were on the first team, Larry might have come to join the Lakers."

Ok?
Zhang Bolong raised his eyebrows, Larry Bird called Boston Durant Jr.?
Is it really okay for you thick eyebrows and big-eyed Johnson to arrange you like this behind your back, you really are a pair of old enemies who love and kill each other...

"However," Johnson said again, "Actually, I think the team's triangle offense is not suitable for you now, or Phil's tactic is not suitable for a combo guard who needs the ball to control the game. If it is in the Warriors In the tactical system with the Suns, maybe in this season, you will become a real All-Star."

The All-Stars he refers to here are in terms of ability, not the NBA All-Star Game selected by popularity. After all, Chinese players have always had their own popularity tricks, and Zhang Bolong is the most popular among Chinese players.

Although Johnson said good things to Phil on TV, it just showed an attitude. He is a real Laker and must defend his team in front of outsiders.

Zhang Bolong himself knows very well that the triangle offense is indeed a constraint on his brutal growth.

People can see that in the dynasty established by Jackson, whether it is John Paxson, Ron Harper, Steve Kerr of the Bulls, or Fisher and Jordan Farmar of the Lakers, " The point guards in the "Zen Master" team don't need to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring. They only need to have one-handed shooting and the ability to score at critical moments.

As for normal times, just hand the ball to the most confident scorer honestly.

And now that the Lakers have Kobe, Zhang Bolong will not be the more sure scorer anyway.

This has also led to Zhang Bolong's performance and development under Jackson's current tactics will definitely be restricted to a certain extent.

"Thank you, Ervin, as a legend who loves the team deeply, you can tell a rookie like me this."

Zhang Bolong was indeed sincerely grateful.

"Because I hope that a player like you can stay in Los Angeles forever, one person, one city, and become a legend here. If you encounter any trouble in the team or in this city, you can contact me at any time."

After speaking, he exchanged contact information with Zhang Bolong.

This is also obvious. Johnson's implication is that if you are unhappy because of tactical problems, you can try to seek his help.

what help?
Early in the 1981-82 season, Lakers coach Paul Westhead wanted to adjust the offensive system, and the young "Magic" thought that would weaken his role in the team.

It has been widely reported that Johnson stormed into the dugout after a game yelling, "I can't play here anymore, I want to leave, I want to be traded."

Reporters were waiting for Johnson to say it was a joke, but he did not come forward to clarify.The next day, Westhead was dismissed by his assistant, Pat Riley.

Afterwards, fans at the Big West Forum booed Johnson during the player's introduction, and for the first time in his life, he lost the All-Star vote without injury.

But the "Magician" did not regret his decision. He finally blocked the mouths of those critics with a very gorgeous performance in the playoffs, and successfully won the championship trophy that season.

If the championship coach Westhead is not fired, will "Magic" Johnson apply for a trade to leave the Lakers?No one knows the answer.

For Zhang Bolong's situation, Johnson can somewhat empathize.For a player, especially for a point guard, suitable tactics can help them play 200% of their abilities and produce a qualitative leap.

Nash is the best example.

Johnson knows that even if Long has no idea now, when he grows up and needs more possession and status, will the relationship between him and Kobe still be so harmonious?

Jackson didn't handle it well, and there are still examples of the "OK" combination falling apart.

Although the high salary demanded by the aging "big shark" was one of the reasons why the Lakers management traded him, on the other hand, Kobe at that time could no longer be inferior to others.

With that in mind, it's easy to imagine what Johnson meant by help.

Zhang Bolong nodded with a smile, and thanked Johnson for his encouragement again.

"It will, and it's an honor to be a Laker no matter what."

"That's right kid, oh right!"

Johnson stroked his bald head, then pulled a photo and a rollerball from his breast pocket.

It was the picture of Zhang Bolong running to the camera with a crooked smile after making a super long three-pointer against the Sonics.

"Can you please sign it for me?"

Zhang Bolong agreed with a smile. Just as he was about to pick up his pen and stepped forward, Johnson said again:
"My son EJ is a loyal fan of yours. He asked me to get your autograph! Haha, he will be very happy when he goes back. He is a very cute kid. I will introduce you to him some other day!"

Zhang Bolong's pen tip paused, and the smile froze on his face.

Father-in-law, have mercy!
