NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 85 The Meeting of the Heat

Xiao Hua smiled.

"Fans like to watch the offense. Now the league's offensive and defensive rounds are too slow, besides"

"Now the spending power of old fans is gradually declining. Compared with young people with crazy spending power, why do you think they like basketball?"

Xiao Hua suddenly asked the executive.

The executive froze for a moment, lost in thought.

"Do you think everyone has James' physical strength, or do you think they have O'Neal's rim dominance, or do they have delicate low-post skills?"

"No, for ordinary young people, shooting, not mid-range shots, direct three-pointers can be done for them with more practice, and three-pointers are more strategic."

Xiao Hua didn't wait for the executive to answer, but continued.

Hearing Xiao Hua's words, many executives also nodded.

They have different ideas from the fans outside or even the coaching staff. They just want to make money and business.

As for feelings or something, that is also a tool for them to control the fans, and they themselves will not be swayed by feelings.

Everyone also heard that Xiao Hua liked the Warriors more than the Heat.

In the second game of the previous finals, Xiao Hua didn't make a sound when Yan was blowing the pick-and-roll.

Because the Warriors are indeed leading too much, that will make the finals lose suspense, and the entire league will make a lot less money every time they miss a game.

Looking at the third game of the finals, if the pick-and-roll is not strictly played in the second game, the Warriors are now [-]-[-].

"I understand about the Warriors, but what about the elevator door tactics?"

One of the executives asked Xiao Hua.

"Let's still follow the standards of this season. Of course, this tactic is indeed harmful to the competitive offseason. We can ban him directly, but at the same time, we can take advantage of the trend to change some rules suitable for the development of three-pointers."

Xiao Hua said with a smile.

Su Chen didn't even know at this moment that because of the butterfly effect he brought to the league at this time, the small ball era came ahead of schedule.

If the Warriors win the championship, this will save Xiao Hua a lot of preparation work and directly accelerate the bringing of the small ball era to the league.

The alliance executives who heard Xiao Hua's words nodded their heads one after another.

Since the Warriors winning the championship will be of great benefit to the future development of the league, there is no need to strictly blow the Warriors pick and roll just to take care of the suspense of the game too much.

After all, Xiao Hua has said that the finals will be measured by the standards of this season.

How can there be excessive whistleblowing on the pick-and-roll this season?
According to the average scale of this season, the Warriors' pick-and-roll in the finals will be even easier than the previous three games.

Some executives who support and want to keep the old-school fans are also looking at each other at this time.

They know that the whistle of the finals will never deliberately embarrass the Warriors again.

in an office.

Erik Spoelstra and Riley sat face to face, and there were several coaching staff next to them, and the chief assistant was also busy.

"It's a mobile pick-and-roll, and it's a total foul!"

One of the teaching assistants flicked the tip of his pen to the ground.

In the past two days, Eric Spoelstra and Riley convened the coaching staff to study this elevator door tactic.

It's not the first time that the teaching assistant's words have appeared in this room.

Eric Spoelstra and Riley looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, expressing that they still haven't worked out a countermeasure.

A simple elevator door is not without countermeasures.

However, there are many kinds of elevator doors in Su Chen, and there are many kinds of changes attached to them. The key is that these tactical moves are a mature system.

The already mature system, coupled with the elevator door tactics to the extreme use of foul-level pick-and-rolls, is too difficult to deal with.

Once Curry and Thompson feel hot, it is simply impossible to cooperate with this tactic.

Eric Spoelstra also put down his pen at this time and scratched his hair.

"Is there nothing we can do?"

Erik Spoelstra looked at Riley and asked.

But Riley still looked at the tactical drawings on the table and did not answer his words.

Eric Spoelstra also knew the answer, so he didn't continue to ask, and picked up a tactical drawing of the elevator door.

Tactics can be learned stealthily, and it's not like Eric Spoelstra didn't think about it.

But the Heat's shooters are all role players.

It is true that Ray Allen is the historical three-point leader, but now Ray Allen is 38 years old. There is fuel in the tank but he can't stand the running and high-intensity shots like the main shooter of the elevator door.

This elevator door tactic, Eric Spoelstra can indeed learn it now, but there is no way to use it now.

Not having a suitable shooter candidate is one aspect.

On the other hand, even if you start practicing now, the players do not have tactical proficiency.

If Su Chen can develop the elevator door tactics like this, then he must have a deep understanding of the elevator door tactics. Let him go to fight in the field Su Chen is familiar with, which is tantamount to turning the Heat's advantage into a disadvantage.

"Then Su Chen just started training the team to use the elevator door tactics. How come they are so skillful in running positions? Are all the Warriors players with such high ball quotients?"

Erik Spoelstra became more and more irritated as he talked, and threw away the elevator door tactical map in his hand.

Suddenly, a text message alert sounded.

Before entering this room, I told the staff of the coaching staff to put their mobile phones outside, including Eric Spoelstra also put his mobile phone outside.

Riley was the only one who didn't put his phone down.

There is an important reason why Riley's cell phone is not put outside.

Riley has been in the league for so many years, and he has also sat in the management position, and is relatively familiar with some high-level league leaders.

Two days ago, Barkley brought the topic of elevator doors to a hot topic level, which was enough for the league to pay attention.

In the case that they can't crack the elevator door, they actually have a way.

That is to wait for the alliance to take action!

While the new rules now have no effect on the Elevator Door tactic, they don't really need to disable it either.

As long as the scale of the whistle is restored to the level of the second game of the finals, this elevator door tactic has been called a foul, and it will be self-defeating.

The coaching staff in the room knew, including Erik Spoelstra, that there was no noise.

Their eyes were on Riley.

Riley did not bring in his business mobile phone, it was his personal mobile phone, and he had already told his family members not to send confidence to him for the next two days.

Riley didn't look at it right away, but took a deep breath.

This text message is too critical, even related to the direction of this year's championship.

Erik Spoelstra was nervous, and Riley was more nervous than him.
