new lord of the rings

Chapter 462 You are the biggest factor!

"Mr. Zhang, did you expect to enter the finals this season at the beginning of the season?" Wang Meng asked with a smile.

The day before leaving for Cleveland, Wang Meng, Yang Yi and Wang Shipeng from Tencent conducted an exclusive interview with Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin sat obliquely on the chair, leaning his right hand against his hand, and smiled when he heard the words: "I really never thought about it. Even though I had the idea of ​​entering the playoffs this season from the beginning, it is definitely unexpected to be able to enter the finals." In addition, I originally thought that it would be a blessing to be able to enter the second round of the Western Conference. You are all experts in the industry, and you are all clear about the cruelty of the Western Conference."

Yang Yi and the others nodded in unison. The cruelty of this season is no worse than that of the 2013-14 season. Even teams like the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets have no way to enter the second round. One can imagine how cruel this season is. .

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think is the reason why the Suns can enter the finals?" Yang Yi asked.

Zhang Xin laughed: "Mr. Yang asked a good question. The cruelty of the West lies here. We Chinese have a saying that you can fight hard with iron. Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, Dallas The Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors and other top eight teams in the West are not easy to mess with. We have been able to get to where we are today. If the opponents are not strong, it is definitely an insult to those hardworking players.

In fact, what Mr. Yang asked should be: What efforts did Phoenix make to enter the finals. "

Yang Yi nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right!"

Zhang Xin nodded with a smile and continued: "Although it's not yet time to summarize, let's give a rough summary first, it's not bad to give our team an encouragement.

Our efforts are comprehensive:

First of all, from a personal point of view, we were determined to enter the playoffs from the very beginning, so we began to improve the individual abilities of the players to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs. We formulated the technical details for everyone to improve .

Let me use a player as an analogy, such as PJ Tucker. Tucker was a defensive player from the beginning, based on the characteristics of protecting the basket and defending small, and then used three-pointers to open up space for his teammates. his positioning.

But I think it’s still not enough. His three-point selection is still scattered. Tucker can shoot from the bottom corner, 45-degree angle, and the top of the arc, but the overall shooting rate is not bad, at 33%. about.

But it’s not enough, so what I arranged for him to do is to make three-pointers from the bottom corner, and he can give up other points. You can also see the effect. After the whole season, the shooting percentage is 39.2%, and the playoffs are even higher. To 39.8%, which is almost the number of elite shooters.

Other teammates also use subtraction methods to help them improve, which is more targeted. It can be said that after the promotion, our team's role players are taken out by a lot of teams, and they are the best champions. puzzle. "

Zhang Xin took a breath, took a sip of water, and continued: "In terms of the team, technical tactics and psychological construction are equally important. Oh, in the NBA it is called the locker room atmosphere. With the efforts of the entire team, we have established A very good team atmosphere has laid a solid foundation for our technical and tactical development.

In terms of technique and tactics, we do this. We try our best to make every detail as good as possible. For example, to attract flanking attacks in a low singles, we do this:
When I press the low post, there must be two people pressing down to the bottom corner to open up space for me. There is a person who is ready to respond at a 45-degree angle, and a center is ready to catch the ball at the free throw line at any time. What are we meticulous about? The extent is that once the opponent flanks me, the defender who came up to flank that person must cut in to catch the ball and attack the basket as soon as possible, so that the opponent will not dare to flank me unscrupulously. There should be means.

It took us about 2/3 of the seasons for a training similar to this to finally take shape, but we still need to continue to polish it if we want to reach the level we did in the Warriors. "

Yang Yi was thoughtful: "Then according to what you mean, the current level of cooperation of the Suns is not as good as that of the Warriors?"

Zhang Xin said: "Mr. Yang understood correctly, this is what I mean."

Wang Meng smiled and said, "I know what Mr. Yang wants to say. What Mr. Yang means is, since they are not as good as the Warriors as a whole, how did the Sun defeat the Warriors?"

Zhang Xin laughed: "The game is composed of many aspects, psychological factors, techniques and tactics, on-the-spot reaction, and on-the-spot state. These are all factors that affect the game. We were able to beat the Warriors. There are many aspects that we have done better. "

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, can you explain in detail?" Ma Jian asked. Ma Jian has professional basketball experience and pays more attention to these details.

Zhang Xin nodded: "Psychological factors are like this. Our Chinese combat has always pursued the pursuit of being famous, that is, fighting for justice. Basketball games are competitive sports. Of course, there is no right or evil, but being famous is to make people famous. Soldiers know what to fight for, so that soldiers are willing to fight.

And our Suns fought the Warriors to enter the finals. The Warriors are already a dynasty team. They have lost their hunger for the championship. It’s not that they don’t want it, but that they don’t have that hunger. Will hope to win even more. "

Ma Jian let out an oh, and became interested: "What about you, Mr. Zhang? You have also won three championships!"

Zhang Xin laughed: "Mr. Ma, I want more than that." Zhang Xin smiled meaningfully.

Wang Meng, Yang Yi, and Ma Jian looked at each other. There was a lot of information in Zhang Xin's words, but the three of them didn't ask any more. They might cause an uproar or criticize Zhang Xin. Arrogance, China has produced such an outstanding talent, the three veteran basketball workers don't want Zhang Xin to be ruined by these rumors, so they choose to keep silent.

"What about other factors?" Ma Jian brought the topic back.

"We can't do better than the Warriors in terms of techniques, tactics, experience, and on-the-spot reactions, but we are not without advantages. The quality of our shooters may not be as good as the Warriors. The Warriors have two historical three-point shooters, but Our shooter group is larger, and we can keep more than three shooters on the court at any time, even during rotation time.

And there are two sets of cores. Rondo and I can lead the team separately and match Rondo with a group of shooters. He is a super giant. It can be said that the key to our winning points is the rotation time! "Zhang Xin analyzed.
