king of defenders

Chapter 491 It's decided, change!

"what?"

"How does this work?"

Craig, Rostern, Howard, and McAdoo were taken aback.

Now the Heat's conventional tactics have been played for a long time, the familiarity of the tactics, the tacit understanding between the players, and the ability to execute are all very mature.

Is it right or wrong to change rashly?

"I know you are worried." Spoelstra said seriously, "Our conventional tactics are very mature, and we have played for a long enough time, but what is the result? What are the results?"

Howard opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Craig, Rostern, and McAdoo were silent.

Yes, the conventional tactics have been played since last season, but what about the final result?The team had a poor record and even failed to enter the playoffs. They were ridiculed by fans and the media, saying that they would become a belly without James.

The failure to enter the playoffs last season was largely due to the injuries of Wade and Bosh. The two core players were injured, which eventually led to the miss of the playoffs.

To be honest, failing to enter the playoffs is not entirely a matter of tactics, otherwise Spoelstra and several assistant coaches would have changed their tactics a long time ago, so how could they have been using them until now?
But just because there is no problem does not mean it must be good.

There is no problem with this tactic, but what about flexibility and competitiveness?
"Our current conventional tactics are mainly about stability." Spoelstra said again: "To put it bluntly, it is conservative. Our conventional tactics are too conservative. It was no problem to play like this last season, but now it is a bit out of date. Now We have Wade, Bosh, Dragic, Whiteside, Luol Deng, Green and other players, and Meng Yun joined us. What we should do is to be brave and diligent, not blindly pursue security. "

Hearing this, the four of Craig nodded one after another.

From time to time, it was no problem to pursue stability in the past, and to minimize risks, because with James' departure, the team was in turmoil and had to be conservative.

But now the situation has changed.

This season, the Heat's record ranks second in the Western Conference, and they are in the limelight. When they are advancing bravely and moving forward, even if there are some risks, it is worth it.

"So I think we need to change our conventional tactics." Spoelstra emphasized, "We need to adjust our tactics, adjust the lineup. The situation is changing, and we must also make changes."

"Ah."

"It makes sense. The situation has changed now. The future is full of possibilities. It is not a good thing to be blindly conservative. Only by making appropriate adjustments and changes can the team become stronger and more competitive."

Craig and Rostern spoke successively, expressing their agreement.

Howard and McAdoo exchanged a look, and Howard said: "I agree. Then change it, play X tactics instead, and put Meng Yun in the starting lineup."

McAdoo nodded, but then frowned, and said: "I agree to let Meng Yun play the starting lineup, and I also agree to play X tactics. It's just how to arrange Meng Yun's position? Coach Spoelstra, you said earlier that he would not be allowed to play No. 3 position, but in the X tactic, Meng Yun is playing the 3rd position, if he is not allowed to play the 3rd position, how can the X tactic be played?"

This is indeed a problem.

Craig, Rostern, and Howard all looked at Spoelstra.

Spoelstra smiled slightly and said: "The position is dead, but the person is alive. Who stipulates that the field must be 12345, and who stipulates that it must be so clearly divided? Meng Yun can be a pitcher, and he can also be a pitcher." He can play singles with the ball, and he also has excellent organizational skills. Why should he be restricted? Why is X tactic called "X tactic", X is a variable, and there are countless changes. ?"

"This"

Several teaching assistants frowned, half understanding.

Spoelstra added: "In my opinion, Meng Yun is the 'X' factor. He will bring more changes, so why should he be restricted? He can play singles, shoot from a fixed point, and organize passes. The ball, as long as it is reasonable, beneficial to the team and beneficial to the game is fine."

Craig reacted and raised his eyebrows: "However, this is too difficult for Meng Yun. How can we grasp the balance and effectively display our own abilities without disturbing teammates?"

"Hehe." Spoelstra smiled: "Yes, this is very difficult for Meng Yun. It is not easy to do well, but I believe he has no problem."

Craig, Rostern, McAdoo, and Howard looked at each other and nodded in unison. They also believed in Meng Yun, because Meng Yun had never let them down.

That's how things were decided.

After that, the few people did not leave, but continued to discuss, put Meng Yun in the starting lineup, and change to X tactics, X tactics itself needs to make some adjustments.There is also a substitute lineup. After Meng Yunti started, the substitute lineup will be led by Luol Deng. The original tactics also need to be adjusted.
Three days later, the Heat headed to Atlanta for an away game against the Hawks.

Before the game, Spoelstra called the players together.

"It looks like it's going to be announced."

"Well, it should start from the game against the Hawks that Meng will be put on the starting lineup."

"Meng's strength has long been able to start."

The generals of the Heat team whispered and sympathized with Luol Deng. Starting today, Luol Deng will have to play as a substitute.

Changing the starting lineup, but also changing the conventional tactics, this kind of thing is impossible to hide, and there is no need to hide it. A day ago, Spoelstra personally talked to Luol Deng and persuaded Luol Deng to play as a substitute. .

Although the arrangement is up to the coach, after all, Luol Deng has been the starter for so long, so if he is suddenly asked to play as a substitute, we should talk about it, which is also a respect for him.

Luol Deng was naturally not very happy about this, but he didn't have many complaints. After all, where is Meng Yun's strength?

Looking at Meng Yun's performance over the past month, Luol Deng is convinced.

Then there is the change of conventional tactics, the adjustment of the starting lineup, the adjustment of the tactics, the adjustment of the substitute lineup, and the adjustment of the tactics of the substitute lineup.

In three days, Spoelstra, Craig and several assistant coaches were busy, and the adjustment was initially completed.

After such adjustments, everyone understood that Meng Yun was going to start.

But even though the adjustments have been clearly made, it has not been officially announced when Meng Yun will start the game. Meng Yun did not start the game against the Grizzlies at home a day ago, and he was still playing as a substitute.

But today Spoelstra called the players before the game, which is already obvious. It must be announced that Meng Yun will start playing from this game.

"It's finally time to start."

Even though he already knew that the coach had talked to Meng Yun specifically, Meng Yun still couldn't help being a little nervous at this moment.
