In the physiotherapy room

"You've been performing really well recently, Odin!

With your current strength, you may already be the main striker in some fringe teams in the playoffs.

But you should know that this is the Los Angeles Lakers. After I came here, the team is back on track.

As the big brother on the team, I need to understand the dynamics of your thinking. I don't want you to be distracted by things outside of the game! "

Shaquille O'Neal didn't turn the corner, he said bluntly as he came.

the physiotherapy room thought to himself, no wonder Shaq has such a strong obsession with the boss position, this person even mingles with the important work of the coaching staff.

Generally speaking, this kind of talk about the main position has to be assistant coach himself, but Shaquille O'Neal really enjoys this kind of work.

Shaq calls the coaching staff his job as team bosses, but Shaquille O'Neal's appreciation of Michael Udin remains sincere.

Shark was really afraid that Michael Udin would have mood swings because he was still a surrogate!

"I started when Elden was injured. To be honest, it's nothing special for me to be the first to play!

It makes me very happy that you can recognize my strength, but compared to whether I can play first, I care more about whether I will be on the field at the time of the decisive battle! "

The ultimate identity is not only needed for Michael Udin at this time, what he needs is sharpening real swords and weapons.

"You, a young man, are very mature and scary. I also witnessed your interview yesterday. You can use such psychological tactics at the last moment, which proves that you were born a big man!

I would suggest to the coaching staff that you have the ability to be one of the five guys who can stay on the pitch at the last minute. "

Shaquille O'Neal was very satisfied with Michael Udin's answer, and he thought that choosing Michael Udin as his direct channel was the perfect candidate.

"It's good to have your recommendation. I think there is a natural understanding between the two of us. When you and I play at the same time, it becomes very easy for me to improve the assist data."

When Shaq was about to say something nice to himself, Michael Udin hastily contacted this old man.

"I must say that you have good support! Especially when I am in trouble, your departure will always allow me to find an immediate solution to the problem!

You can always surprise the team in the last game. Nobody knows that you can dribble and break through. Nobody knew that you could get nine assists in one game. The defensive lateral shifting ability you showed yesterday impressed the coaching staff as well. !

I think you even have the ability to play third. The little attacker who is almost the same height as me is completely insane in this world!

Interested in trying the number three position? "

Shark offered Michael Udin an opportunity that was not easy for Michael Udin.

This is a good opportunity. Everyone saw the advantages of Michael Udin's game. Most important in this team was the not-so-blessed fat man lying in front of him. Michael Udin felt that his opportunity was coming!

"Of course! I hope I can have the ability to swing third, fourth and fifth at the same time, so whichever team I face, I will have a comparative advantage!

However, the process of trying the third position may be very difficult. After all, maintaining the orthodox third position was a big challenge for me. I'm afraid the team management won't be too patient with my efforts. After I played a bad game in the small forward position, I was worried it would affect my playing time and my position in the minds of the coaching staff. "

Michael Udin really wants to get this opportunity but he also knows that behind a great opportunity there must be a struggle that is no less big.

"What I suggest you do, I will be in charge of the process!

If you really don't move up to the third position, I guarantee that you will be able to return to the familiar fourth position at any time!

This is my team, and I can still control little things like that. "

Shaquille O'Neal sat down, and the great shark looked at Michael Udin like a giant mountain of flesh, his tone filled with boundless affirmation.

"Very good!

I believe that under your leadership I will soon taste the taste of a championship! "

The team boss took the initiative to speak for himself, and Michael Udin certainly wanted to flatter him a few times in return.

Shaquille O'Neal nodded, showing that a child can be taught!

On December 29, in the Los Angeles Lakers home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Today Michael Udin did not experience the confrontational feelings of third place.

Because the odd Philadelphia 76ers barely had a serious third. Their starting lineup is center Scott Williams, strikers Clarence Weatherspoon and Derek Coleman. The guards are Allen Iverson and Jerry Stackhouse.

Allen Iverson's growth environment in his first year was not very good. Clarence Witherspoon and Derek Coleman are both typical power forwards. Both played more than 40 minutes. The fight between Michael Udin and them is also quite satisfying. The strengths of the two teams are very different. The team is not on the same level at all. The Los Angeles Lakers have crushed their opponents throughout the game. In short, the Philadelphia 76ers currently pose no threat to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The 1996 special year passed by, and the 1996-1997 season also entered its second year. On January 2, 1997, the Los Angeles Lakers traveled to San Francisco and played away against the Warriors.

In this game, Michael Udin played for 32 minutes, half the time he appeared in the team's third position, there was some discomfort at the start of the period, but after a brief adjustment, Michael Udin still played some in this unknown position. The performance is extraordinary.

The reason why the coaching staff are able to make such odd efforts is entirely due to Shaquille O'Neal's strong recommendation that Michael Udin not be at a disadvantage in attack and defense while competing against the orthodox minor forward. It also gave team management a further step towards Michael Udin. Courage to grow.

The Los Angeles Lakers also beat the Warriors 92-83.

The NBA schedule can be interesting at times. On January 3, 1997, the Los Angeles Lakers returned to consecutive home games. Their opponents yesterday were the Sacramento Kings.

The two teams fought at different venues and played the exact same game, if not for the difference in the colors of the uniforms and stadiums, the fans would even think that this match was a record from the previous match.

Michael Udin also appeared easier in third position. As for how much Michael Udin can do in third, he still needs a few stellar little forwards to test.

However, due to being able to play in third position, Michael Udin's average playing time has also reached more than 30 minutes, which is a big advantage for him. long playing time.

In 1996, the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver. Right now, the Vancouver Grizzlies are doing their best to train their pick for this year's show, Shareef Abdul Rahim.

Although Raheem claims to be a power forward, he is purely technical and capable inside and out. This feature also made George Lynch's team third place fourth, and he is more of a minor striker. .

In the confrontation with Raheem, Michael Udin was slightly disadvantaged, the skillful and beautiful Raheem made Michael Udin's defense very embarrassing.

But when the ball was in hand, Michael Udin played very aggressively, and Raheem also had no way of dealing with Michael Udin's three-pointer in the basket.

The coaching staff are very satisfied with Michael Udin to be able to put in such a performance against Raheem.

The key to this game is not the duel between two rookies, the undefeated Shark in the basket takes the victory by itself.

With superstars like Shaquille O'Neal to protect the team's record, the Los Angeles Lakers management dared to put more energy on rookies like Michael Udin and Kobe.
