<P><BR>SAN DIEGO ? Rudy Tomjanovich sounded more like a chef than the first-year coach of the Lakers.<BR>“If you are making soup, you have all those ingredients in there, but now they’re starting to mix together,” Tomjanovich said Tuesday. “You have those spices going and all that stuff and we are just putting those ingredients together right now.” <BR>Tomjanovich put the Lakers through a rigorous workout on the second day of training camp at he University of San Diego. He planned a full scrimmage Tuesday night. With nine new players in camp, it’s no wonder Tomjanovich is talking about developing team chemistry.<BR>“I don’t know what the end result is going to be on certain plays, certain things, that’s the magic of teamwork,” he said. “Things will develop as the season goes on, new relationships on he floor with different players.”</P>
<P> </P>
<P>One of those players is Lamar Odom, who came over in the trade that sent Shaquille O’Neal to Miami. Tomjanovich would like to see Odom work well with Kobe Bryant.<BR>“He’s such a versatile player and I just think he’s going to be a very big factor in our team,” Tomjanovich said. “He can play so many positions. The ball is going to go through Kobe and Lamar and they’re going to be the playmakers too.<BR>Odom said he has “a little reconciliation to do with the city of L.A. for my play with the Clippers” from 1999-2003.“Last time I would say I left on a downswing,” Odom said. “Now I’m back on the upswing and am going to do things the right way playing for the greatest franchise in the sport’s history, the Yankees of basketball.”<BR>Odom is also looking forward to playing with Bryant.<BR>“I look to Kobe Bryant to be Kobe Bryant,” Odom said. “He’s great on the court, he’s a great person off the court. If we follow his lead we’ll be all right.”</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Tomjanovich liked hearing Odom compare the Lakers to the New York Yankees.<BR>“This is a big deal,” he said. “You look up in the arena and see all the great players who have played there. And now we are a part of it. You want to live up to that standard.”Bryant said he shares Tomjanovich’s vision for an up-tempo team ? “Getting out on the break, <BR>creating some turnovers with our defense and getting out running and creating as many easy opportunities as we can.”<BR>“At the same time we’re going to be a very skilled team in a half-court setting,” Bryant said. <BR>“You can’t be a completely up-and-down type of team without having a clear concept of a half-court game.”<BR>Bryant already has Tomjanovich marveling about his determination.<BR>“He is unbelievably focused,” Tomjanovich said. “I’ve just got to tell you how impressed I’ve been. I’ve been around a lot of great players, I’ve been around a lot of hard workers. He’s on another level.“These guys have been really busting it down here, they’ve been working real hard. But a lot of these guys are leaving, and Kobe’s still here. And I’m not saying they haven’t worked hard, but he’s in a different galaxy.”</P>
<P> </P>
<P><BR>The Lakers’s first exhibition game is Tuesday against the Seattle SuperSonics in Anaheim. They open the regular season Nov. 2 against the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center.It is especially imperative that the new-look Lakers get off to a good start as their schedule stiffens considerably after Jan. 1.“The good news is we’re all sort of coming from different places,” Tomjanovich said. “It’s not going to be everybody’s used to this one system, they’re all seeing it from a different perspective.”</P>
<P>Even Tomjanovich faces an adjustment. He was part of the Rockets organization from the day he was drafted to the day he was hired to succeed Phil Jackson as Lakers coach. Now Tomjanovich is getting used to taking walks along the beach in Santa Monica, getting noticed by fans every step of the way.</P>
<P>“We’re all coming from different perspectives because when they said heat wave, I just laughed,” he said. “I’ve been in Houston and it was like the air conditioner was on.” </P>

첫댓글 레이커스 화이팅~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
코비 - 오돔 - 버틀러 - 그랜트 - 디박옹 화이팅!!!!!!!!!!!!
시즌초반만 잘 넘기면 해볼만 할것 같네요. 디박이 최대한 빨리 돌아와 주고, 조직력만 극대화 되면 시즌 중반부터 상승세를 타지 않을까 싶군요.
훔..브라이언 그랜트도 부상당했다는데..그럼 오돔이 초반 파포로 나올가능성도 있는건지?
포인트가드 없는 농구를 보게 될지도,,,
처키 애킨스 정도면 괜찮은 포인트 가드 아닌가요? 왜 그를 무시하세요...!!!!
에킨스가 주전PG 아닌가요? 에킨스-코비-오덤-그랜트(말론)-디박
