Jackson, who was originally worried that Kobe would fight Xiao Han, suddenly changed his mind again. He looked at Kobe, who was even full of fighting spirit in his bone marrow, and lowered his head.
The Lakers have long been used to Kobe's solving all problems by himself for a certain period of time. After this period of time, the team can still get back on track. Even if the players cannot go back by themselves, Jackson can make things right. The Rockets may not have the ability to do so. Adelman's team has never been in this style, and players cannot get used to it.
Furthermore, Jackson did not believe that Xiao Han could beat Kobe in the score battle. In fact, in his opinion, no one on this planet can compare to Kobe when he scored the top score against Mai Mang in the game.
Since the Lakers are the ones who benefit no matter how much, why should Jackson stop it?
The "Zen Master" knows Kobe very well. Suppressing his competitive spirit is by no means a good way to train Kobe. If there are too many such situations, it will definitely lead to a rebound. Over the years, Jackson has not seen Kobe rebound, but he has all been suppressed by him. To this day, they are still a good pair of masters and apprentices. The reason is that Jackson is well versed in Zhang Chi. As long as it is not enough to affect the result of the game, he will not control Kobe. Even some less important games. Jackson would rather lose the game, so that Kobe will play happily. However, one thing is that this must not affect Kobe's health and the team's subsequent plans.
The two clear-cut games can clearly explain this issue. For the Mavericks, Kobe scored 62 points in the third quarter. According to his condition that day, he continued to develop normally. It is estimated that Kobe's highest score in his career was more than 81 points. However, given that the team was leading a lot in one fell swoop, the Mavericks only scored 61 points in the third quarter. It can be imagined that as long as other Lakers players scored a little, the Mavericks would fall behind. Under the circumstances, in order not to let Kobe suffer accidents, such as the intentional revenge of the Mavericks, Jackson pressed him on the bench in the fourth quarter and did not let him play for a second.
On the contrary, Jackson did not restrict Kobe from the game against the Raptors, the time that would be recorded in history forever, because the Lakers needed that victory, and the situation at that time was that they were behind almost the whole game. If it weren't for Kobe's performance like a god, it would be difficult for them to win that game.
The reason for this is that Jackson believes that it is wrong for Adelman to use Xiao Han like this. For any reason, pushing a point guard player to the position of shooting guard and allowing him to score points casually in the game. The result will only lay the groundwork for the conflict between the generals.
Why didn't you let me play point guard? Well, you let me score, and I did it, but why didn't you even score so much?
It can be said that if Adelman didn't think of a solution as soon as possible, this situation would definitely happen. It's not that their master and apprentice are incompatible, but based on the scoring ability shown by Xiao Han today, no matter how many games Adelman asked him to play, the average score per game will definitely be indispensable. What should I do if McGrady comes back?
It is certain that Xiao Han can't compete for the position with McGrady. He himself knows that once a conflict arises, the first one that will be blamed will be Adelman who causes all this to happen. Not only Xiao Han, but also McGrady.
Then, let Xiao Han play the main defender and let the team start to get in again? In that case, not only will the team have to experience some turmoil, but it will also cause dissatisfaction with the current point guard Alstom.
Instead of getting into danger at that time, why not change as soon as possible to eliminate the possibility of this situation?
It can be said that Jackson's idea has no logical problem. There is only one thing that he does not understand Xiao Han, and does not know how strong the boy's adaptability and learning ability is. As long as he is familiar with a few games, he will never have any problems directly as the team's point guard. In fact, even in this game, he has understood some of his teammates' move habits.
Also, Jackson also underestimated Xiao Han's ability to impress other players in the same position. In this league, there are not many organizational guards who are really on the same team as Xiao Han and have the courage to compete for the position with him.
If Xiao Han was in the Lakers, Jackson would have been able to easily see the essence of these problems, but unfortunately this is not the truth. This is like someone else’s family affairs, even the smartest person will find it difficult to figure out the same truth.
Xiao Han is now in the Rockets, and he is in a new high-profile stage. Everyone knows what position he will take, so no one cares whether he will steal his ball rights. In the future, Xiao Han will be a boy with money. So what if he wants him to eat more in these games?
This is just one aspect. Xiao Han just came to the team, and everyone always feels a little fresh about him. Even if he sees him showing off, he still feels new. In addition, everyone knows Xiao Han's ability. It may not be that he can sell it to him now, so it may not be meaningless to get along well in the future. In short, the Rockets are still harmonious now, and the atmosphere is even better than last season.
Finally, the Rockets currently have only a vague understanding of how strong Xiao Han is, but they just know that he is very strong. Although he averaged 20 plus 10 games last season, it is completely different from hearing and seeing. Everyone wants to witness for themselves whether Xiao Han is really as magical as the legend.
At the same time, Jackson also underestimated Xiao Han's wisdom. Maybe he would not interfere too much in the team's organization today, but he would not take every opportunity to attack. When he was not busy, he also learned to stand aside and rest.
Xiao Han can already sit and watch the team fall behind temporarily without worrying, because he knows that he can still recover if he falls behind. Now he is not the team leader, and if he participates in some things, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among his teammates. He simply learns to ignore it.
Seize every opportunity he deserves and attack when he sees it. Xiao Han replaced McGrady's role in the team well. He was more thorough than Adelman expected and basically did not affect the team's operation. His integration was so natural, just like he was a member of the Rockets.
This is difficult. It is okay to just do the right thing, but as a veteran Rockets supporter, Xiao Han is very clear about the problems that the team has in some aspects, ignores these problems, and is also deeply involved in the problem. It is impossible not to say that Xiao Han's cultivation has made great progress compared to last season.
It is always difficult for people to grow without experiencing things. Bibi's affairs seem to have passed, but in fact it has still had a significant impact on Xiao Han. He is now doing things more smoothly and pays more attention to the world. This is actually a solid step towards the right path of being a more qualified team leader.
As the game progressed, the Lakers players soon discovered that this Rockets without McGrady was no big difference from the Rockets they encountered last season. The attack was still sharp, and the internal and external lines were still blooming at the same time. The most obvious difference was that Artest brought the team to the previous lack of toughness. Kobe wanted to score again, but what he encountered was no longer Bathir's blindfolded trick, replaced by Artest's unceremonious push and endless small moves.
Of course, Artest, a man who was very tough in his small movements. Although he was small, he was still straightforward, which made the referee often pretend not to see them when he saw them. They were used to it. They couldn't send this guy off every game quickly, right?
This is also considered a special care. As long as Artest's movements are not obvious and not overdoing, the referee will acquiesce. Anyway, there is only one such guy in the entire league.
Or is this the referees' compensation for more technical fouls to Artest?
