In the last few games, although Stephen's scoring average has declined, it has remained consistent with his playing time, which shows that his state is still stable and has not been affected by anything. Changing and changing, it also shows that his adaptability to the game has also remained stable.

As much playing time as you give him, he can contribute as much data, regardless of who the opponent is. This kind of performance is stable, efficient and magical. If Stephen just performed very well in a certain game, it is not terrible. As he is now, he can make such contributions every game, and the more time you give him, the better his performance will be.

Carlesimo's adjustments to the Sonics have been discovered by many people. stuff, don't call a successful coach.

Carlesimo is not a coach, but he has no obvious flaws. Generally speaking, he is the best choice when he has no choice. His indulgence of Stephen has been criticized by many people, but The record of the Sonics shows that his approach is correct.

And now is the watershed time for the team's record, and it is also a very suitable time for him to adjust the team. Now that the adjustment is made, since the record has declined, it can basically be adjusted by the end of the regular season. The qualification for the playoffs There is no problem, even if there is no home court advantage, but the Sonics are not a home court team.

There is no resistance within the team to the adjustment of Carlesimo. The current adjustment plan should be the most affected by Robert Swift. The adjustment to him was only to reduce part of his playing time and give more to Cooper However, Carlesimo was annoyed by his serious lack of cooperation with the plan, and Carlesimo took him into surgery and put him on the injured list, which benefited Nick Collinson.

Since Nick Collinson is also a member of the supersonic local gang, this makes other local gang players have no reason to fight. At the same time, after finding that their arms can't twist their thighs, most of the players changed their minds and didn't plan to do anything else. Nonviolent non-cooperation movement.

Even the biggest victim of the adjustment plan, Robert Swift, sneaked into Carlesimo's office one day when there was no one on the team. As for what he said to Carlesimo, no one knows. But Carlesimo released him from the injured list the next day. Although he was still not in the rotation, at least there was hope.

The adjustment plan of the Sonics can only make more teams fear them more. A Stephen is not scary, but a Stephen who dissolves in the whole team and in tactics is much more terrifying, and a Stephen who can explode anytime and anywhere after physical deployment Stephen was even more frightening, especially when Stephen appeared in the fourth quarter as if he was resurrected with full blood, but his own side was already half dead. Thinking of this situation, every head coach would have a headache for a long time.

After defeating the Phoenix Suns, the Sonics returned to Seattle. Before the start of the All-Star Game, the Sonics had only one game left to play, and this game is a week later. I don’t know how the league will arrange it. Under normal circumstances, in the entire season, only the All-Star Game has no games in this week, but there is a long gap in the Sonics' schedule.

If it is not necessary to meet the challenge of the Utah Jazz at home, the Sonics can even take a long vacation directly, so that players who do not have to go to the All-Star Game can have a good rest, but since there is still a game, the team If there is no vacation, Carlesimo intends to take advantage of this time to fine-tune the new tactics.

The new tactic is still based on Stephen, but it reduces the more physically consuming singles content, and increases pick-and-roll and screen coordination. After all, they come from the Spurs. Although Carlesimo’s men do not have the IQ of Duncan. Some top inside players can't play a full set of high-post pick-and-roll tactics like the Spurs, but there is still no problem taking a part of them to play.

According to the equipment of his players, Carlesimo's tactics are based on double-high pick-and-rolls. Coupard and Wilcox will take turns to pick and roll for Stephen or Watson. Some people may ask questions. The team doesn't have a player like Duncan, and they can't play high pick-and-rolls, so how can they play double high pick-and-roll tactics.

In fact, the pick-and-roll tactic, to put it bluntly, is one block and one fold, which seems to be a very simple tactic, but Sloan relied on this tactic to keep the Jazz in the ranks of the strong teams, and the Spurs relied on this set of high-position pick-and-rolls to win. When it comes to five championships, the pick-and-roll is simple, but the subsequent changes in the pick-and-roll are extremely varied and unpredictable.

For example, Tony Parker plays a pick-and-roll with Duncan. After Duncan blocks the defensive player for him, he faces the inside big man. He can attack by himself, or pass the ball to Duncan. At the same time, he can pass the ball to the outside. After the ball is released to Duncan, Duncan can attack by himself and shoot directly, because he is facing a small player, or he can block for Parker and give the ball to Parker to attack, or he can Pass to the open player outside.

For each different choice, there can be multiple subsequent changes. This is the role of tactics. Players choose different changes according to the situation. This is the real role of tactics.

The Supersonics don’t have players like Duncan who can pass the ball skillfully and attack both inside and outside, and the pick-and-roll quality and awareness are even more incomparable. In this regard, even Garnett can’t compare with Duncan, although his assists The data is more than Duncan, and the passing skills seem to be higher than Duncan.

The pick-and-roll is not just a pick-and-roll to block the defensive player. This is just the simplest pick-and-roll, but this is the simplest pick-and-roll. Judge your actions, bypass or cut through the blocking side in advance, so the timing or position and action of blocking people are very important.

This is not to mention the difficulty of rolling. In the Spurs, Tony Parker and Jipa Billy can both play high pick-and-rolls with Duncan, and the styles of the two are very different. Therefore, although the Spurs are based on defense in the league, they The attack is equally sharp.

And if the defender focuses on them and chooses to double-team or help defend, the empty players can easily receive the pass from Duncan or Ginobili. Relatively speaking, Tony Parker's passing skills Not bad, but the consciousness is even worse, not as good as the two of them.

Bruce Bowen can easily get a chance to shoot in the bottom corner. This is a very representative example. This is a very holistic system. It is not that Stephen can't play well in this system, but it is wasted. His other abilities, and building this system from theory to player selection, Vivić has spent a lot of effort, so he is not willing or willing to give up this system and switch to another tactic.

As long as Duncan, Ginobili, and Tony Parker are there, the other players are well equipped. Vitch can also design the most suitable tactics for them according to the player's ability and technical style, so the Spurs' sense of small capital management is One reason is that Vicki believes more in the power of the system rather than the personal abilities of the players.

When he was in the Spurs, even if Duncan was not on the court, Robert Horry could sometimes play this tactic. Although his technical comprehensiveness and offensive deterrence were not as good as Duncan's, he could help the bench lineup persist for a period of time. And when he and Duncan appeared on the court at the same time, they occasionally played this double pick-and-roll tactic.

The high-post double pick-and-roll tactic involves many players, and it is more complicated in the initial stage, but there are not too many subsequent changes. It is suitable for ordinary players, and Watson's ability to play pick-and-roll is also good. Wilcox and Coupard Although they are not as good as Duncan and Robert Horry, they are also above average and can barely realize Carlesimo's tactic.

Tactics and players' personal abilities complement each other. Sometimes the tactics serve the players, and sometimes the players serve the tactics. Stephen's personal ability is super, and his threat of getting inside is naturally greater than that of ordinary people. It needs to be strengthened, regardless of whether it is double-teaming or assisting defense, there will be open spaces. If you don't do this, with Stephen's ability, it will be difficult to defend Stephen one-on-one, whether it is a big player or a small player.

Therefore, if the starting point of this tactic is Stephen, the key point is to block this step. The roll is not important. It doesn't matter who the pick-and-roll is with. However, due to Watson's lack of independent offensive ability, the pick-and-roll with him must have a mid-range distance. Wilcox of shooting ability.

After all four people participated in this tactic, Durant became Stephen's role in the Spurs. He could maneuver freely in the entire half, which happened to be able to play the characteristics of his flexibility and strong shooting ability, and Durant himself I am also willing to play this role.

Since this tactic is very similar to the Spurs' tactic, during training, Stephen was in charge of the outside players and Robert Horry was in charge of the inside players. The two explained and demonstrated at the same time. These players were eye-opening.

After six days of tactical training, the Sonics ushered in the challenge of the Utah Jazz. As a pick-and-roll team, the Utah Jazz's pick-and-roll defense is also very good. Now it is time to test the training results It's time.
