Chapter 95 Unity
Chapter 95 Unity
After some impassioned speeches, the gloomy atmosphere of the Thunder team slightly improved, and there was also a faint sense of fighting spirit.
But that fighting spirit only lasted for about ten seconds, as if lying on the bed and seeing an inspiring fitness video, I couldn't help turning over, and excitedly clicked to save, but soon felt dull.
Empty talk doesn't solve the problem.
The Thunder is currently in a four-game losing streak, and only by winning can the players truly build up their confidence.
Su Yang saw the changes in everyone's expressions, but he was not in a hurry, and carried out according to the original plan.
The team flew back to Oklahoma, got a day off, and resumed training on Game Day [-].
At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Yang rushed to the training base and convened a meeting of the coaching staff, training team, and scouting team.
Phil Handy spoke first, introducing the health of the team. Only Swift still needs to continue to recover from his injuries.
The director of scouting, Blach, then spoke, saying that the target of the candidate center forward was narrowed down to two, and Nenad Kostic is currently particularly optimistic, but Kostic still has a two-year contract with the Moscow Victory Team, and even if he buys out with money, he still needs to time.
The Thunder had to use a lot of rookie Jordan because of the injuries of two centers. However, Jordan lacked experience and ability. He was ravaged by other teams' centers in various ways, and the quality of the cover was not good. Only then did the management make up their minds to find a main center.
"Don't look for it..."
After listening to Brac's speech, Su Yang waved his hand: "I plan to let DeAndre Jordan serve as the starting center for a long time. I believe he can grow up quickly. In terms of rebound protection and frame protection, he can do better than Kostic. better."
Assistant coach Brooks said with a smile: "I want DeAndre to hear your evaluation inadvertently."
Everyone laughed when they heard the words, that was indeed a good way to motivate people, and the praise behind it was much more real.
Su Yang continued: "Tell me about the Celtics. They seem to be very fierce after the start of the game..."
The Celtics at the beginning of the 08-09 season, because of the previous seven rounds of the playoffs, accumulated super rich combat experience, and won the championship, and became super confident. The specific performance is that the execution is extremely high. The error rate is extremely low.
Su Yang remembered that if it wasn't for Garnett's injury in the middle of the season, the Celtics would most likely defend the title.
"They won all the first four games, conceding only 89.5 points per game..." Blatche slowly began to introduce.
All the assistant coaches raised their eyebrows when they heard the words, conceding an average of 89.5 points per game. The Celtics' defense is a bit exaggerated.
Su Yang thought about it calmly, knowing that the Celtics' defensive system was mainly constructed by Thibodeau, and the core was to attack from the line.
The Celtics are used to and like to pile up people at the free throw line. Once the outside ball holder of the offensive team initiates a breakthrough, the Celtics players who are closest to them will quickly rush to pinch. two.
Especially when the pick-and-roll encounters Garnett, Garnett will team up with Rondo to double-team, making it impossible for the ball holder to transfer or shoot easily. This strategy is used to deal with super ball holders like Kobe and LeBron , especially useful.
The defensive system of the Celtics is built around Garnett, the best defensive player.
As a power forward, Garnett is tall, has long arms and fast feet, and his defense range covers almost the entire half of the court. In addition to attacking on the line, he can also sweep positions on the three-point line, and can also rotate to defend the weak side, which is equivalent to two defenses. people.
But Garnett is also human, no matter how fast he is, it will take time to shrink the frame back.
Therefore, even if the Celtics still have Perkins on the inside, they will easily lose defensive rebounds.
And that kind of high-pressure defense to force mistakes, and then high-speed offensive and defensive transitions is very dependent on physical strength and enthusiasm, which caused the Celtics to struggle to score for a long time at the end of many games, and then they were reversed, becoming Rivers' mark.
"We can take full advantage of Westbrook's strengths in rushing offensive rebounds..."
After listening to Blatche's introduction, Su Yang smiled and raised his hand to signal to several assistant coaches to propose a strategy for the match.
"I suggest keeping the ball holder as far away as possible from Kevin Garnett..." assistant coach Ralph suggested.
Su Yang nodded as he listened, and asked the off-ball player to take Garnett to the corner and wing, or force Garnett to stay in the high position. Green is capable of taking on this task, but the premise is that Green can shoot quickly and Hit an open three-pointer.
"I suggest encouraging players to make full use of their physical fitness..." assistant coach Brooks suggested.
Su Yang repeatedly nodded in agreement. Durant faced Pierce, instead of trying to dribble many times, it is better to rely on his height and wingspan to dominate. The same is true for Westbrook. The efficiency of pulling against Rondo will be better. It is two people who need to be comfortable with the ball.
If you want to hold the ball comfortably, you must reduce physical confrontation and flanking, and the whole team must be able to pull the defense.
"I suggest speeding up. We have more young people and better physical strength..." assistant coach Mark suggested.
Su Yang nodded slightly. He knew the importance of speeding up the Celtics. The key is to see the execution effect.
"I suggest increasing the number of on-the-spot commands, and shouting should be shouted." Chief assistant Snyder said.
After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became serious, and everyone subconsciously looked at Su Yang.
This is because the assistant coach thinks there is a problem with the head coach's approach, and he also publicly raised it. The situation is a bit like forcing the palace.
According to Su Yang's plan before, during the game, the coaching staff will basically not shout and command on the spot.
Because of this, several ESPN commentators, several TNT NBA stars, and a large number of fans raised objections in various ways, thinking that it was an important reason for the Thunder's four-game losing streak, and that Su Yang deliberately shifted the responsibility to the players.
The well-known magazine "Bleacher" also specially updated an article, saying that Su Yang intends to imitate Phil Jackson's style, but even Phil Jackson would let Brian Shaw and other assistant coaches shout or gesture during the game.
You know, the Lakers play a triangle offense system, and they are famous for their players reading the game.
Therefore, many fans and the media speculated that Su Yang deliberately concealed the fact that he would not coach a weak team.
"I don't think a few calls on the spot will affect the player's ability to read the game..."
Seeing that Su Yang didn't answer for the time being, Snyder went on to say: "Winning the game can also help the players to read the game better. Besides, you used to shout and command from the sidelines. I think your actions are too extreme now."
"I also don't think it's necessary to relax so much..."
Assistant coach Mark interrupted suddenly, and mentioned the conflict between Carlisle and Kidd because of on-the-spot command, implying that Su Yang didn't have to worry about young players' opposition. Their older assistants would let young players strictly implement tactics.
"What do you think?" Su Yang asked assistant coaches Brooks and Ralph.
The two nodded one after another, and also agreed that the number of on-the-spot commands needed to be increased, and it was really nothing to shout a few more words.
The situation suddenly became a little awkward and tense.
Su Yang thought for a while, convinced that both methods can help players grow.
However, there are too few on-the-spot commands, which will give fans and the media a different perception, and it will also make the management feel strange.
I have a four-year contract with little pressure, but several assistant coaches need to let the outside world see that they are working hard enough.
Thinking about it carefully, I really didn't take care of the teaching assistant's feelings.
"Then let's start by instructing the players on the spot to defend..."
