The Lakers new head coach can be seen jumping in on drills,
rebounding for the young guys and joking around with the players before practice.
Forward Larry Nance, Jr., who described Walton as a “player’s coach,”
even said Walton was knocking down a few threes from beyond the arc.
簡單來說Walton跟BS的教練風格完全不同,Nance形容Walton是“球員的教練”,會親自
下場參與練球,跟球員感情也很好。
“I’m a fan,” Nance smiled after finishing up practice.
“It’s a different feel and it’s fun.”
兩天夏聯練習,Nance已經變成Walton粉了。
Nance說訓練很好玩,跟去年感覺完全不一樣。
“Demand of execution. Demand of making the right play.”
“Holding yourself accountable,”Russell said about practicing under Walton.
“If you don’t, he’s going to let you feel it.“
“He’s got a great coaching staff around him that let’s you hear it if you don’t make the right play, and it helps you learn from it."
"You mess up, and there’s a teaching moment after it, and that goes into the next play."
"If you mess up, you learn from the last time you messed up. I feel like they do a good job of just communicating with that."
Ruseel說球員一犯錯,教練團馬上就會讓球員知道,隨後會有”教學時間“讓你從
錯誤中學習。教練團跟球員間的溝通非常良好。
坦了三年,今年真的看到了一點希望,高層也採取了比較實際的建隊的方向。
教練團除了Shaw稍老,都是有熱誠且擅長球員發展的年輕教練。
新加入的老將,都是過去有很好的”休息室名聲“的團隊球員。
八小每個人都是練習狂,有幾個從小就是湖迷,想扛起這塊老招牌。
終於有個值得期待的球季了!
