basketball never sleeps

Chapter 12 Win the game, you have plenty of time to be happy

As soon as the news that the Pistons temporarily gave up allowing Milicic to play came out, most of the media expressed their pessimism about the Pistons this season.

In order to make room for Milicic, the Pistons traded Clifford Robinson, the inside starter of last season, during the offseason. As a result, Milicic came but couldn't hold this position. Blind one starter.

"It is recommended to expel the scouts from Europe. How much water is there in the second place? Why is it so difficult for a talented talent to come here for two days?"

"The Pistons' draft this year is a mess. They selected two players from the European League, but one couldn't play and the other couldn't come. The remaining Asians at the end don't know if they can play."

"Why didn't you choose Carmelo Anthony! Dumas, the English open-book exam, why did you copy the answers from the Greek letters!"

The attraction of this wave of firepower is quite in place, and the pressure of the record surrounding the old man is much less.

At least you can blame Milicic, who didn't play a game and didn't play for a minute, for his poor record.

······
Before crossing, Larry Brown was famous for creating the biggest shame in the history of the Dream Team. Later, his poor performance in the bad team Knicks can also be called "living up to expectations" and "not being a family, not entering a family."

Mo Wen, who has experienced small-ball fast-break thinking, doesn't think much of Larry Brown.

Larry Brown?An old ghost who is stubborn, stubborn and wears colored glasses to international players and rookies.

In addition, this old ghost's mouth is particularly smelly, he looks like a dog in a suit every day, and his mouth is indeed the English version of "little-armed boy". (It is recorded that Little Tudou was scolded and cried by him.)
Not only Billups, but many other players have said in private gatherings that they want to smack this old bastard's mouth.

But regardless of character, in this era when zone defense was allowed and no handcheck rules were introduced, and when the intensity of confrontation was at the forefront in history, this old ghost's tactics and ideas are also something. .

Old-fashioned can also interpret the meaning of "experienced" from a certain angle. If the times do not change, you can still eat your old food.

"Play the ball the right way." Larry Brown has been adhering to and promoting the basketball philosophy for decades.

What is "the right way"?According to Larry Brown's official explanation - to 'play seriously, play smart, remember teamwork, enjoy basketball, and try to defend'.

In human terms: Don't be so crazy about throwing coins on the outside, pass the ball to the side if you are not sure, go to the defensive end to find a sense of presence for labor and capital, and defend desperately!
On the offensive end, this concept requires limiting the star's desire to perform and allowing players with better opportunities to take shots; on the defensive end, it requires not letting go of any details, and any player must do his best to force the opponent as far as possible away from the ball frame. place shot.

It seems reasonable, but if you put all your energy into the defensive end, the offensive end is basically worse.

This kind of "bad" basketball concept can't win the ball in the small ball era, and it can't win the love of fans, but it is suitable for the current Pistons.

The Pistons without a star player is still a veritable grassroots team. Big Ben is only known for his defense and has no special privileges on the offensive end.

The leader of the team is the undrafted Daben, the Pistons inside Dinghaishenzhen, who won the best defensive player and rebounding champion twice in a row. Last season, he averaged 7 points + 15.5 rebounds per game. Do less.

Billups, the core engine of the team, was a discarded player who was traded in half a season as a prospect. Before coming to the Pistons, he was one of the players who wasted talent by the media. Wei didn't have many people paying attention.

Hamilton, the most reliable finisher on the team, is just Jordan's younger brother in the Wizards period. He is a stable but inefficient finisher. He usually shoots mid-range shots except for layups. He doesn't look good and doesn't have many fans.

The entire team has no privileged players, and no one has the willful capital when the team boss takes the lead in doing the dirty work.

In the Pistons this month, Larry Brown practiced his "famous" strict coaching style.

There are clear requirements for each player's position, movement route, passing target, offense and defense, and everything must be done step by step.

Otherwise, just wait to be sprayed.

The former Pistons coach Carlisle was also a defensive and rigorous coach, but many old players still can't adapt to the high-pressure "rule" of Larry Brown.

"Where his eyes rest, the air will be a little heavier." Atkins said, unable to hide his words.

As the general manager, Dumars can also feel that when he occasionally comes to inspect, the atmosphere of the entire team has undergone obvious qualitative changes or "deterioration" from last season.

The Pistons seem to have returned to his player period-the "bad boy" era under the coach of Chuck Daly.

The Pistons who pay attention to confrontation, bite, and will do anything for a ball... are back.

The smile disappeared from the faces of the Pistons players. According to Larry Brown's words-"Win the game, you have plenty of time to be happy."

"It's hard to imagine that the philosophical words are coming from a bastard who is full of shit and shit." Astkin thinks that these words must have been copied by Larry Brown.

Rationally speaking, with this kind of team atmosphere, you may not be much happier after winning the game. Just like the later workers, the management has become stricter, and even if the salary has increased a little, you may not be happier than before.

Almost everyone is resisting the pressure, including Larry Brown. His predecessor Carlisle has laid a good foundation. As a famous coach, he has no reason to retreat.

It's him who is good-faced, but he feels that his players should empathize with him.

The only one in the entire piston who could remain calm was Mo Wen.

He even had the time to comfort Milicic, who had become a stressful kid.

What kind of pressure is this? No matter how high the pressure is during training, can it be as big as the finals?
He played seven or eight copies of the finals. "With one ball in hand, all eyes are on it" is not just glory. Feeling tens of thousands of people breathing together, you will really feel suffocated by insufficient air.

Compared with the pressure created by Larry Brown, it is nothing. Soldiers who have been on the battlefield will not care about the intensity of the usual weight training.

"Relax, don't follow tactics too deliberately, you are still young, you can make mistakes, what you need now is to show your value, don't give up your strengths."

Mo Wen patted Milicic on the shoulder and tried to slow down his speech so that Milicic, who was not good at English, could understand.

The poor guy was slapped by Larry Brown just now for being out of position due to an early defense, and that wasn't even a mistake.

Mo Wen felt that the old man might have hemorrhoids, because Larry Brown, who always liked to sit on the sidelines, couldn't sit still for some reason today.

The old man Brown is 60 years old, but he retired bravely when he was a player. He has no hidden injuries and is still full of energy. He sprays people like a hair dryer, and his breath can be sprayed on players with foam.

Fortunately, Larry Brown was a guard when he was a player, and his height was only 175. Except for a few short point guards, he just washed his neck. If Larry Brown was taller, everyone might have the risk of exchanging body fluids.

"You still have the mood to comfort him, but yes, it seems that you are the only one left in our team who hasn't been sprayed by Larry. Even Ben has been sprayed because of being blocked."

Billups, who was resting off the court, suddenly discovered a terrible fact that there was a "traitor" among them.

"It seems true when you say that. It seems that he has never been educated by Larry; hell, he doesn't like rookies. Why is he so partial to you?"

Hamilton next to him echoed, and he has been criticized by Larry Brown recently, because he has to rely on running all the time to attract the opponent's offensive attention, but running is not running around, and he has to pay attention to linkage with his teammates. There are quite a lot of problems hindering the offensive space of teammates.

"Well, now I'm going to tell the story of my high school SAT score of 1530, which is full of gold."

After getting along for a long time, Mo Wen gradually got used to joking with this group of people.

"Qi~"

Convex (fuck dish)
The few people next to him made disdainful voices, and some even raised their middle fingers in a friendly way.

Most of the NBA players with college experience did not rely on their studies to enter the university. Most of them just passed the cultural class and then were specially recruited by sports expertise.

Otherwise, NBA players wouldn't have so many idiots who went bankrupt after retirement.

So for a top student like Mo Wen, they can only use one sentence from Mr. Lu to describe him.

Probably out of jealousy—that's for sure!

　There is another update, but everyone should go to bed early and watch it tomorrow morning.
