"Hello Duan, I'm the new assistant coach, Tyronn Lue!"

Time goes back to the first day of Bulls training camp for the new season.

As soon as Duan arrived to report to the team, Tyronn Lue, the team's newly hired chief assistant coach, came to Duanbai Pier.

"Hello, hello, I'm glad to be able to cooperate with you." Du En was also a little surprised when he saw Bass.

Originally, Duan was a little reluctant to leave Scott Skiles, but now that a truly capable coach has arrived, Duan is quickly relieved.

Bass may have some shortcomings in on-the-spot planning, and he will desert from time to time, but among the new generation of coaches, he is definitely capable.

Combined with Bass's career, give the ball to O'Neal, give the ball to Kobe, give the ball to Jordan, give the ball to McGrady, and give the ball to Yao Ming.

It has to be said that Bass really knows the ball and knows how to win the game.

Of course, Bass is still just the first assistant coach.

Most likely, he will be responsible for daily tactical training and providing some on-the-spot advice to the head coach during games.

Next, the Bulls' head coach for the new season will be Mike Brown, the original chief assistant coach.

Bread is good at coaching the team's defense.

In the past few years, the Bulls have been able to win games and win the championship trophy. In addition to a solid lineup, Duan has strong team leadership ability, and it is Bread that consolidates the Bulls' defensive base.

It is also because of Bread's contribution over the years that his daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law this year and officially took over, replacing Scott Scales as the head coach of the Bulls.

Since Scott Skiles left the team in the summer, he was quickly poached by the Warriors with a high salary.

Come to think of it, Scott Scales' tactic of accumulating timeouts in the first three quarters and giving Duane a rest in the fourth quarter will soon be used on James.

However, with tactics such as high pick-and-roll, triangle offense, Princeton, and low-post singles, Scott Skiles may not be able to play without Duan sitting on the court and commanding.

With James as the core, the most it can do is to play defensive counterattacks, shoot out all over the place, and deal cards at the top of the arc.

Duan is also looking forward to what kind of sparks he will have with the Warriors and the strong teams in the Western Conference in the new season.

"I'm here to learn from you! You know many more tactics than I do.

As early as when I was a player, I wanted to be your teammate, but I couldn't help myself and didn't have this opportunity.

This time I was also lucky. After passing the team's assessment, I was able to join this great team.

And what I like to do most in my life is to work with great players. "

Although the attitude of the bass was slightly flattering, it did not make Duan feel any discomfort.

It can only be said that Bass is worthy of being a disciple of Rivers. Putting aside game training and on-the-field activities, and building a good relationship with the players and management, he does have two skills.

As soon as Bass came to report to the team, he followed Du En and said some compliments at every opportunity, which made Du En feel happy.

In this way, Bass's goal is achieved, and the job of the chief assistant coach is consolidated.

If the Bulls have a poor record this year, the team needs to give an explanation to the fans, and the management will have to take action on the head coach. Maybe Bass will be able to take over next year.

“Hey, Stephen, so early!

I heard that you have been training hard all summer? The strength should have improved a lot, right?

Maybe I can give you the position of team boss. "

Du En came to the training ground to practice. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Curry had wet his training clothes.

"Duen, you're here!" When Curry saw Duen, he first stopped training and took the initiative to walk towards Duen, as if he wanted to hug or give a high-five.

Curry didn't take it seriously when he heard Du En making a joke about giving up the boss's position as soon as he arrived.

"Will everyone call me the boss? When you enter the locker room, won't everyone surround you?
Haha, boss, welcome back to the team, I can't wait to fight alongside you.

But, you know, I'm getting stronger and you can give me more balls and I can definitely digest them. "

Duan could probably hear what Curry meant. He had no intention of competing for the top spot, but he definitely had the ambition to compete for the strongest one on the court.

Curry has this ambition, which is not a bad thing for Duan who wants to play healthy basketball.

"Okay, I'll help you deal with the locker room! And you are responsible for leading us to win the game."

Du En entrusted Curry with a heavy responsibility in a serious tone. Curry also smiled when he heard this: "I won't let you down!"

"By the way, this is our team's new chief assistant, Tyronn Lue. He is very smart and very good at offensive tactics.

Get familiar with him and let him lay out more tactics for you.

This will help you show more strength in the game. "

Duane introduced Bass to Curry.

Bass immediately stepped forward to praise Curry: "Hello, Stephen. I know you, your shooting is exaggerated!
When I was an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers, I was very afraid of your three-pointers.

Every time you hit a three-pointer, or three-pointers in a row, I'm shaking with excitement.

How come there are still such accurate people in the world? Isn't this guy's shooting terrible? "

Curry was a little embarrassed to be blown away by Bass, especially since Duen was watching from the sidelines. You must know that Duen is also very scary and has the ability to make consecutive three-pointers.

For this reason, Curry could only touch the back of his head, smile, and respond humbly: "No, I'm just better at shooting.

My shot was accurate, but Duan's shot was the most deadly!
For our team, the shots that kill the game are often made by Duane! "

"Well, that's right." Bass was stunned for a moment when he heard what Curry said, and then immediately changed the subject, "Don't worry, I will make you more accurate."

“As an opponent before, I studied the team’s offensive tactics last season.

Duan played very well on the court. No matter how we adjusted, we could not limit Duan's performance.

However, this consumes too much energy and Duen will be very tired from the fight. "

After making a promise to Curry, Bass turned to look at Duan.

"Dunn, do you think we can try to make Stephen the team's first scoring point this season?

He will share some of the offensive pressure that originally belongs to you, and you can fully allocate your physical strength to other aspects.

Your ability is very comprehensive, and you can often produce triple-doubles.

In the new season, the team has many rookies that need you to take care of, and the team needs you to show your all-round influence! "

When Bass encouraged him to get a triple-double, Duan didn't refuse.

In the new season, the Bulls' rebuilding is in shambles and they focus on training new players. Duen has no pursuit of record, but it is impossible to do nothing.

If he can average a triple-double for another season, even if he doesn't have a regular season MVP, at least the All-NBA first team will be stable.

As the saying goes, if people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them.

On the one hand, Du En encouraged Curry to score more points, but on the other hand, it was impossible for him to really give up his position and lie down early.

“Stephen is the core of the young team, he is full of energy and his offensive skills are comprehensive.

I believe he can assume the heavy responsibility of the team's first offensive point.

And what Tyron needs to do is to help Stephen play better on the court.

As for me, I can do anything for the team.

But I also hope that you can pay attention to the young players on the team.

In the next few seasons, if we want to achieve results, we must rely on the efforts of those young players with potential! "

As a coach, Bass has a problem that he doesn't trust rookies and doesn't know how to train them. Most of the time, in order to win, he will choose to screw over the main players. Although Bass is currently only an assistant coach with the Bulls, he will not have much impact on the bread.

The problem is that Bread has no experience in training rookies and is not good at it.

In addition, with the Bulls' achievements in recent years, fans are likely to be too concerned about ensuring the team's record, thus affecting the Bulls' strategy of cultivating rookies.

After the regular season starts, Duen will spend more time playing on the court, and it is impossible to remind Bread to replace the rookie at any time to give the rookie more opportunities to play.

Duen could only take advantage of the team's training camp to start, and when the coach arranged and trained the team to run the most basic tactics, he could inoculate Bread and Bass in advance, so that they would pay attention to the rookie aspect from the beginning.

"I understand, Duane." Bass nodded and said, "I will develop some tactics suitable for Stephen.

He's smart, reads the game well, and is flexible enough that ladder coverage suits him well.

There are also some ball-holding tactics. If Stephen's touch is not good, we need to give him the ball to help him regain his touch.

At the same time, I will also pay attention to the growth of young players and help them improve their strength. "

Curry heard this and immediately said: "This summer, I will practice more on holding the ball.

I don’t think I’m going to be limited by those defenders anymore!
Next, I will try to play every game well and beat any defensive player who appears in front of me.

I will do my best to live up to everyone's expectations and help the team win the game! "

It's okay. I won't talk big words casually. Since I dare to say so, I must be confident.

Du En nodded to Curry, and then said nothing else.

Afterwards, Du En began to advise Bass and discuss specific tactical arrangements with him.

Bass knew that Du En was going to test him, so he also took out all the tactical reserves in his mind.

First, there is a ladder screen. The two forward lines are pulled to the wings to cover Curry, and Du En is dealing cards on the other side.

When Rivers was in the Celtics, he arranged this tactic for Ray Allen.

Now the Bass uses Curry as Ray Allen, and Duane takes Rondo's position.

Originally, with this tactic, Rondo could directly make an air cut after dealing the cards.

The significance of Doon is that when it goes down, it will definitely attract defense.

In this way, Curry can better catch and shoot, or the team's center can get a chance to fly to the blue.

Of course, if the opponent's defense fails, Duan can also cut to the basket and eat the cake passed by Curry.

After explaining the ladder screen, Bass explained a few pick-and-rolls to Curry at positions 1 and 5, and then switched to singles with the ball in front of the big center.

Curry is not very fast when playing as a small guard, but he has a great advantage when playing as a big center.

Coupled with Curry's extremely fast shooting speed, it is undoubtedly a good tactic to misplace the military training center.

The remaining tactics are common on the court.

The star player breaks through with the ball, attracts double-teams and distributes the ball in time to create opportunities for his teammates.

His teammates faked a real pass, attracted the defense, and then passed the ball back to Curry.

Cooperate with other teammates to set a screen for Curry who is getting rid of the defense, so that Curry gets an open shot.

Generally speaking, the tactics are relatively common.

But Bass was able to make reasonable arrangements in the first place, and then faced questions from Duane and Curry, and was able to answer them fluently, which indeed proved his personal ability in coaching.

After the simple tactical discussion, Duan and Curry were quite satisfied with the bass.

After all, Bass is not the head coach of the team, and he has just come to the Bulls. Even if Bass does something wrong when he comes, you still need to give him some tolerance and let him adapt to the team first.

All in all, the performance of the bass exceeded expectations.

When the new and old players of the team arrived at the training ground and started to warm up and practice, Bass also took the initiative to come forward and chat with everyone.

Bass also has good social skills, and the elders don't have any objections to Bass's new chief assistant coach.

As for the rookies who just entered the Bulls, they were also shocked by the big stars who have become famous in the league such as Duane, Curry, and Kawhi.

In order to help the rookies integrate into the team as soon as possible, Du En proposed to play a few warm-up games to let the rookies adapt first.

In order to test the training results of Curry and Jokic in the summer, Dunn roped in Curry and Jokic, and also brought along Rooney and Portis.

Rooney has not gained weight and can still play the three position. Portis has height and a basket. Even if Jokic pulls to the outside to play a pick-and-roll with Curry at the one-five position, he can still position himself inside to grab rebounds.

Of course, as rookies, Rooney and Portis were timid even in training games, and they mostly showed their talents on the defensive end.

Duan is also interested in this. He only occasionally feeds them cakes to stimulate their enthusiasm for playing. It depends more on how Curry and Jokic cooperate on the court.

Smart people playing with smart people often make the game easier.

In the training matches, not only Curry and Jokic cooperated very well, Jokic and Duan also worked together to create many tactics.

Duane, Curry, and Jokic worked together in pairs, constantly using pick-and-rolls to create open opportunities, and relying on their personal abilities to put the ball into the basket.

It's obviously a pick-and-roll, not a triangle offense, but it still has the flavor of a triangle offense.

Seeing this situation, Duan also became interested and directed Curry and Jokic to move. The three of them formed a triangle and tried the one-on-one effect of the triangle offense.

There is nothing wrong with Curry, he has practiced holding the ball.

Jokic is still adjusting his muscles due to weight loss, so his hand skills are temporarily worse.

However, the Bulls do not expect Jokic to carry the offensive banner in the new season.

A raw talent like Jokic will be able to play his due role after he finishes losing weight and gives him two or three years of training time.

After seeing the result he wanted, Duen took the initiative to squat in the bottom corner in the second half of the training match, giving up the ball and tactics.

Curry and Jokic began to play pick-and-rolls frequently. Because they played more often, they also became somewhat accustomed to their opponents, so they played more and more prosperously.

After Curry and Jokic achieved results, they did not just care about their own enjoyment. Occasionally, like Duan, they would give the other two rookies a taste of the benefits.

Rooney and Portis therefore became more actively involved in the process of defense and rebounding, gradually showing their fighting spirit and potential.

As for Duen, who is smoking in the corner, he will occasionally shoot a corner three-pointer, or cut to the basket and play some simple shots.

After the training match, Duen did not disparage the veterans led by Kawhi.

It's just a training match, winning or losing doesn't matter.

Besides, during the offseason after winning the championship, most of the winning members will celebrate wildly and become fat after a summer.

But for the Bulls players present, this was not the case.

After this team training match, Du En can clearly feel that everyone's physical condition is still very good.

Generally speaking, Du En was quite satisfied with everyone's performance, so he praised many people.

Duane also encouraged the rookies who did not play training games with him, hoping that they can adapt to the team as soon as possible and adapt to the rhythm of NBA games.

After Du En finished speaking, Bread also stood up to encourage everyone, and Bass also intervened a few times, showing some presence.

In the following days, the Bulls' training atmosphere became better and better.

The fourth-year rookies are busy showing off their offseason results. Under the care of Duane and Curry, the newcomers have gradually integrated into the team.

In this way, the Bulls soon ushered in the first preseason game of the season... (End of this chapter)
