From sparring to superstar

Chapter 210 208. Help the head coach to coat gold
"I buy it, did you just write this when you were insomnia?"

Doug Collins exclaimed, and looked at Li Ao who was wearing a blindfold to catch his sleep.

Well, it should be.

This scribbled handwriting is written in Chinese?The revised English was crossed out at the end, and with the messy sorting, it can be seen how casual the writing was, maybe even not paying attention to it at all, just writing what came to mind when I was insomnia.

Looking through it again carefully, Doug Collins said: "Leo's understanding of the rules and his understanding of basketball are great. Around these, I can create a defense based on the rule of 'cancellation of early flanking violations'. The system is established, and it is completely incidental to help the inside line adapt to the defense for three seconds."

"Yeah, Leo, like me, discovered the real possible effect of the new rules, and he also noticed that the defense weakened by three seconds of defense may be far less than the enhancement of defense that can be pinched in advance.

But it's a pity that Leo's defensive thinking requires a point guard with excellent defensive awareness, and may even need a point guard with his strong defensive ability to be able to do it. "

"Haha, you still think that the players will give you a defensive system directly? Only these are enough to help us further improve the defensive system, please be content."

"That's true, but we still can't change it in a hurry. Let's first observe the referee's tolerance for 'early flanking' and see if the league really wants to implement this rule."

"Yes, I think so too, but we don't need to observe slowly, it's just the preseason game, you can just try it in tomorrow's game... Mentioning the point guard who is as good as Leo's defense, Alvin, I heard that we had planned to introduce Kidd before, and we all gave offers, but they were rejected. When Leo wanted to defend according to the new rules, did he regard Kidd as the defensive method that his point guard teammates thought of?"

Gentry's eyes widened, he grabbed the small book, and flipped through it again.

He watched and cursed.

沃利-沃克其实考虑到了太阳队不想把基德送到西部竞争对手球队，所以他把场均14+8+8+1+1的奥多姆都放到了交易筹码当中。

When the Nets wanted to trade Marbury for Odom, Wally Walker didn't agree. His first goal was Nash or Kidd.

Odom, plus Maggette, who averaged 23 points in 14 minutes per game against the Kings in the playoffs, and two first-rounders and a rookie center with good immediate combat ability, is more than enough to replace Kidd who is determined to leave , but was still rejected by Colangelo Jr.

Moreover, Colangelo Jr. hung them first, secretly negotiated with the Nets, and snatched away their spare tire Marbury. It was clear that he was targeting the Clippers and wanted to curb their rise in terms of transactions. .

In addition, if they have Kidd in front of them, they can modify and modify the defensive system directly according to their actual situation inside...

Gentry gritted his teeth and asked, "Doug, when are we going to play the Suns?"

...

At 12:5 p.m. on the [-]th, a 'Jordan fan meeting' was also staged at the Oracle Arena.

The game starts at 6 o'clock.

The Clippers continue to conduct actual offensive running training. On the defensive end, to help Odom, O'Neal, Sean Lukes, Geron Collins, and Lafonso Ellis adapt to the three-second rule of defense. host.

The Warriors' style of play is no different from last season's regular season. Jamison and Larry Hughes took turns. They were tired last season, and the rest of the ball belonged to Blakelow.

But in the past two seasons, Blakelow lost his enthusiasm for basketball. He gave up on himself during the offseason, hung out in nightclubs, became addicted to alcohol, and even got into a car accident during the offseason and paid a large amount of compensation. Like the trumpet Sean Kemp, he was directly abolished.

But this part of the ball has been taken over - Jason - Richardson.

Fighting against Li Ao again, Jason Richardson thought of the loss in the Crazy Three finals last year. He played very hard, throwing 18 times and making 18 of 8 shots, including 7 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2. Free throws and 21 points.

He really wanted to compete with Li Ao, but the opponent ignored him and focused on cooperating with his teammates' offensive tactics, which made him very crazy but helpless.

After two hours of the game, the Clippers unsurprisingly lost the game 91-104.

After losing the game, the Clippers players were somewhat unhappy.

Although the competition is only a preseason match, it's like masturbation, and you don't want to lose when you play against a machine.

Fortunately, they had a good harvest tonight!

Today, the inside players moved more purposefully in the three-second zone, and the number of defensive three-seconds they received dropped sharply, to only 10.

This still has Larry Hughes, a swingman who breaks through the top, to make up for the defense.

Of course, that's still not good enough.

This kind of rule should be controlled to as few as walking, second movement, offensive three-seconds, and dribbling. 10 defensive three-second violations in a game will give the opponent 10 free throws for nothing. This is definitely not possible. .

However, there has been significant improvement in the second game, and the Clippers have already led many teams.

Other teams are still in the stage of understanding the new rules in the second game.

Such a big improvement is inseparable from the efforts of the insiders of the Clippers.

When O'Neal arrived at the hotel in Oakland yesterday, he called his inside teammates together to discuss the violations he got in the Kings game and exchanged defensive experiences with each other.

But on this basis, the two inside player movement training sessions that Gentry added this morning also contributed a lot.

After those trainings worked in actual combat, Jermaine O'Neal and other insiders were full of praise for Gentry.

Although Gentry was ashamed, he still complied.

Before training this morning, Li Ao found him and asked him to take the defensive ideas in the small book as his own.

It is said that he needs to show a little more coaching ability and be plated with a layer of gold, otherwise when the season starts, he may not be able to control some players named Mike and Michael in the team.

He was a little puzzled at first, but tonight even Jordan looked at him differently, praised his defensive guidance after the game was very good, and talked to him about the changes that can be made on the defensive end after allowing early pinching, the best defensive player is the best The best defensive player, the prediction of the impact of allowing early flanks, coincides with him, and Spider-Man...he understands, he needs to be plated with this layer of gold.

Kneeling Shesterling intercepts the Lakers!

For Spider-Man, Gentry was even more grateful.

This super genius has not only changed his coaching career, but without Spiderman, he doesn't know how long he can sit in the position of head coach, the best coach, he didn't even dare to expect it before.

Now, he is given the opportunity to continue to secure the position of head coach!

Doug Collins didn't have a big mouth either. He asked Gentry earlier than Li Ao not to tell others that this small book was given by Li Ao.

He knows Jordan better than anyone else on the team. If Gentry doesn't make some brilliant moves, he might be eliminated in the new season.

Gentry is not as famous as Larry Brown, who can hold down superstars.

It's not as amazing as Phil Jackson's coaching talent, which can make superstars surrender.

The basketball god is a controlling player.

Doug - Collins also saw that Mike - Bibby is also a very ego player.

Under such circumstances, Gentry is not capable enough. He is good at building a team system, but this thing is inconspicuous.

He worked hard on dozens of pages of defensive tactics and built the basic framework of the defensive system, but in the eyes of the players, it was not as good as the two temporary inside movement training sessions added today.

Helping Gentry 'surrender' Jordan, Doug Collins is not 'betraying' Jordan, but helping Jordan.

He knew this beloved student very well, and knew that Jordan had no ability to be a coach at all, but he was fascinated with self-confidence.

Maintaining a stable relationship between coaches and players is very important to Jordan at this age.

...

After returning to Los Angeles after playing two consecutive games, Gentry started a high-pressure mode after discussing with the consultant.

In the game against the Warriors, in the third quarter, Gentry ordered the substitutes to pinch Jamison directly when he asked for the ball, and use two people to restrict Jamison from receiving the ball. Whistle like last year!He confirmed that the 'early flanking violation' is indeed history!
On the day of returning to Los Angeles on the 13th, they took a day off. On the 14th, the Clippers team conducted high-intensity defensive training.

With the idea provided by Li Ao, Gentry led the coaching staff to make drastic adjustments to the defensive system according to the actual situation of their team. It was very aggressive and required more training.

The sudden increase in training intensity caused many players to complain. At this time, Jordan took the initiative to stand up and scold the complaining players.

Only then did the teammates realize that the God of Basketball has never been a gentle teammate!

At this time, they felt that Spider-Man should not be too gentle... What a fart!

They saw the trainer lift out a sandbag stand, and Spider-Man kicked it in the air, kicking the sandbag around in the air.

Wait, Captain, what are you wearing?Rugby pads?Don't you hate football the most?

Seeing Matt Halperin hit the sandbags that were swinging down, and the sandbags took off again...

Teammates: (⊙x⊙;)
Can't we just shut up and practice?Why are you doing such a scary thing!
With the help of the three team leaders, the adjustment of Gentry's defensive system went very smoothly.

Seeing further changes in Jordan's attitude, they all took the initiative to help him maintain the authority of the coach, and Gentry got to know Jordan better.

In the eyes of the greatest star in basketball history, the head coach can do wrong things, but he can't be mediocre and incompetent, and he has to try boldly if he has ideas.

On the 15th, the Clippers ushered in a challenge from the Warriors at home. In this game, the role of defensive adjustment was not obvious.

But in the two games against the Kings at home on the 18th and the Trail Blazers at home on the 20th, the Clippers players clearly felt the effect of the adjustment of the defensive system.

At the beginning of the game, they restricted Princeton led by Weber and Divac. Although the opponent responded quickly and they couldn't defend, they saw hope!Hopes to beat the Kings!

With actual combat results, the training on the afternoon of the 21st and the morning of the 22nd did not require Spider-Man, the God of Basketball, or the captain's 'intimidation', and the teammates became more active in training.
