Jeremy Lin Designated As Sixth Man Prior to Los Angeles Lakers Training Camp:
He Works on Defence To Win Starting Spot [VIDEO] http://tinyurl.com/lxrozfh
訓練營時, 湖人把林書豪設定為頭號第六人, 林自己則努力想靠防守來贏取先發位置
Jeremy Lin may have to weave his magic again, coming off the bench.
Newly minted Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott revealed in an interview
that he is leaning on naming Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Wesley Johnson, Carlos
Boozer and Jordan Hill as his starters two weeks leading up to the start of
training camp. Not all is set in stone as Scott will use camp to gauge the
level of health and readiness of players who will be selected as official
starters.
林書豪或許得再次揮棄那魔幻的林來瘋, 接著再次從板凳出發, 因為湖人總教練最近
一次表示, 他傾向於讓Nash, Kobe, W.Johnson, Boozer跟J.Hill先發, 但還沒敲定,
總教練會再看訓練營的狀況來做最後決定.
The man who propelled Linsanity will not take things standing down as he
revealed that he is working on his individual defence, one of the perceived
weaknesses in his game, to propel his skills to the next level. He recently
posted a video on Instagram showing his persistence to work on his game and
captioned the post as, "this offseason I have been working really hard on my
defense, footwork and explosiveness...being able to stay low in my defensive
stance.. and stay balanced..."
但林書豪不會被動的聽天由命, 如他先前在instagram透露的, 他正再努力加強不被大
家看好的防守, 好讓他整體的表現能再次升級
It is understandable for Scott to put in Nash as the de facto starter as a
sign of respect for his experience and two MVP trophies. After all, Lin is no
stranger to doing things off the bench as he was one of the top penetrators
in the lane last year despite playing behind Patrick Beverly when he was with
the Houston Rockets. This may be a blessing in disguise as he will have more
time to handle and create with the second unit while Kobe Bryant, one of the
players with highest usage percentage, takes some rest.
Scott選擇Nash當先發控衛是項很能理解的決定, 畢竟Nash有著令人尊敬的多年經驗, 以
及兩次MVP頭銜, 更何況林書豪對於從板凳出發這職位並不陌生....但這很可能會只是表
面上的偽裝, 因為林書豪將會有較多的上場時間 & 當Kobe休息時在第二陣容有較多發揮
的機會
Scott reveals that despite the rebuilding roster, he still wants his team to
target no less than the championship, that is why he is pressuring players to
deliver even before the start of training camp, to come into shape and
healthy.
湖人教頭再次強調球隊要以"總冠軍"為目標
"I'm going to walk into our locker room the first day of our meeting and say,
'I want to win a championship,'" Scott said during the players practice last
weekend. "I don't want us thinking it's fine if we just make the playoffs or
think we have no shot at making the playoffs. I don't believe that. I want
our guys to have the same mindset as I do."
Scott說, 他將會在第一天走進休息室時對球員們大聲的說....
"我想要贏一座總冠軍!" XD
"別只想著這季能打進季後賽就很好了!!!" XDDD
This early Lin is showing he is in line with the coach's vision, practicing
daily with the coaches and working on his conditioning as shown in his posted
video. Scott also revealed that he will be implementing a Princeton offence
he believes that the Lakers will not be running around with their heads cut
off since it will bear some similarity with the triangle. He will also run
some Bryant post-up plays to command double teams and free up shooters.
If Lin can improve some more on his reliable jump shot, he will be a weapon
in any system that Scott will implement. Now, he is on to training camp.
