From Today it is the King of the Basketball

"Tracy, you and Ty Shaun ’s pinch will be more fierce. Ace, your contraction will be faster, better interference with Greg ’s catch, Josh, your inner and outer defense movement will be faster. ... Josh, come down first and learn the timing of expansion and contraction with Rashid ... "

Mike Woodson is directing the new defensive position. The two assistants and trainers of Stockton and Malone have become part of the training, plus the recalled Tony Allen and Ariza, as the 12th National People's Congress The players on the list are trained, even Ostertag is invited to be a sparring partner, which is a job offer for Ostertag.

...

Two defensive training sessions, 40 minutes each, plus a 20-minute break, exactly 100 minutes. After training, Mike Woodson came to Coach Kruger ’s office.

"Mike, how is the progress going?" Coach Kruger has drawn hundreds of tactical drawings on his desk, most of which are crossed, and only a few are neatly placed in the next folder.

"I think it will be smooth." Mike Woodson smiled.

"That's good. Our time is too tight. Let's experiment with the last few games of this month. If it is unsuccessful, there will be room for adjustment later." Coach Kruger nodded.

Defensively handed over to Mike Woodson. Coach Kruger did n’t worry about it at all. Coach Kruger thought of the perfect assault tactics training map of last night and this morning. A few training diagrams were taken, and Mike Woodson communicated about the connection of grabbing defensive rebounds and pressing back after defensive defense, and then asked the players to practice offense.

Turning to small ball play, for the Hawks, the offensive end is not troublesome, mainly defensive trouble.

For Liu Mang, Prince, Rashid Wallace, Kwame Brown, and Muhammad, Jason Terry and others, playing small **** is a familiar thing.

The Hawks have a common tactic called cavalry tactics. This tactic is a bit similar to running and bombardment, but it is also not the same. It is not the same as the small ball. It is not a team offensive tactic, but there are similarities and similarities. Both are lineups. Too small.

The biggest problem is that the Hawks used to play cavalry tactics, the defense is traditional defense, at most outside the oppression, but now, in addition to facing the team with super inside, you need to use the traditional way of playing, most teams, You must try fast-paced defensive changes, and the transition from fast-paced defensive changes to fast offensives is what needs to be strengthened most now.

The offensive tactics can be summed up very quickly. Another reason is that although the Suns are still regarded as an alternative among fans, there are too few live broadcasts in the United States. Not many people understand the charm of basketball, but in the coaching world, they are already very The traditional coach was shocked.

Regarding the running of the Suns, coach Kruger has paid attention to the running of the Suns after 20 days of playing in the season.

After the Pistons 'record became 9 wins and 1 loss, the Suns ranked first in the league with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss, and also refreshed the Suns' best team history created by Barkley in the 92-93 season. Start.

Such a strong performance, other teams will certainly pay attention.

But including coach Kruger, the mini lineup of the Nash, Quentin Richardson, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Stoudemire of the Suns is not optimistic.

The lineup is too small, the tallest Stoudemire is only two meters and eight, and the two forwards are two meters and one, that is, there is basically no inside defense, and the rebound is also very poor.

The difference in rebounds is not to say that the Suns have fewer rebounds. They averaged 45.1 rebounds per game and ranked first in the league, more than the Bulls averaged 44.3 rebounds per game and the Hawks averaged 43.6 rebounds per game, but the Suns averaged more per game. Throwing 47 rebounds, the penultimate of the league.

Their strength is that they have a lot of pitchers. The team's average three-point shooting rate has reached 41%. Relying on the fast-paced offensive and defensive conversion, the shooting rate is extremely high, and the overall average shooting rate has reached 100. Forty-eight percent, second only to the Hawks' overall shooting percentage of 48.3 percent.

If you let the Hawks play purely like the Suns, coach Kruger will strangle Liu Mang, but if you join the defense and try to make some changes, coach Kruger thinks that you can still try it.

The key reason for coach Kruger to try to change is that the Eagles have no big advantage this season! After the Hawks started this season, the dominance is not as good as last season because of the weakened inside advantage.

The defense is okay. The inside defense of Rashid Wallace, Kwame Brown, Mohammed and the two rookies inside is still very good, but the inside attack is much weaker, Boozer and Rashi Mu left, and the Eagles 'internal offense fell sharply. It wasn't that the score was less, but that the interior offensive was basically gone. As Liu Mang and McGrady had the ability to score under the basket, it seemed that the Eagles' internal score did not decrease too much, mainly It was Liu Mang and McGrady's outside control.

Last season, Boozer and Rahim brought a great threat to the inside. Boozer went to the Jazz this season. The Jazz lay bad for Bodron Williams. Boozer became a big data brush. Starting with 22 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, a posture with one of the best power forwards in the league can get this kind of data, and the scoring strength inside cannot be underestimated.

Rahim also averaged 24 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists per game since the start of the season.

With an average of more than 20 points per game this season, up to 34 players have averaged more than 20 points per game after playing ten games so far, more than double the previous season.

Because these two teams have lost the forwards with an average of 20+ scoring ability per game, the Hawks have spent more time in the triangle attack this season, in order to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient scoring ability in the inside. Liu Mang, McGrady and Kwame Brown have a lot of cooperation, Kwame Brown has become the team's top scorer.

But the triangle offense cannot fully exploit the Hawks' athletic ability inside, and can only rely on Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Jason Terry and Calderon to create opportunities for the inside, but instead gives the outside players a burden. If the outside line is not accurate, you will encounter the situation of opening the second game of the extension. The movement ability of the inside line cannot become the advantage of the inside line, but it becomes a drag on the offensive end.

Therefore, coach Kruger has been thinking about changes, but the NBA and NCAA have deep-rooted traditional styles of play, making it difficult for coach Kruger to get a clue of change. This is also the general state of the NBA. Not many teams are willing to play. Give up defense, because the simple running is too easy to be restricted in the playoffs. Old Nelson was because the playoffs allowed the Mavericks to run, which caused the Spurs and the King to brutalize in the playoffs, and then conflicted with Cuban. Resignation.

And this deep-rooted concept also allowed Steve Cole to find a balance from it 10 years after the rules that were conducive to running and running ... mainly because the Warriors have been miserable for more than 20 or 30 years. Curry took the "child labor salary", the best defensive player hot was the second round of the show with a basic salary, and Klay Thompson was still in the final year of the rookie contract, allowing the Warriors in the 14-15 season to have a large number of quality role players. Then I watched the 15-16 season finals 3 to 1 after being overturned, there are signs of a collapse, the league salary cap soared and can sign Durant naked, it can be said that it has saved 30 years of character, and it broke out.

The Warriors ’success model cannot be copied, similar to Larry Bird ’s successors.

But the Eagles are different, they have Liu Mang! At least before Liu Mang retires, there is no need to worry about role players. Every season, there are underrated rookies falling to the end of the first round and the second round. These college players are underestimated because they do not perform well in college or are injured. The impact of the disease will not be overestimated by Liu Mang's appearance, at least most of them will not, so the Hawks can enjoy the rookie bonus for a long time, and have the opportunity to copy, even stronger than the Universe team.

Liu Mang and Mike Woodson discussed the infinite change of defense two years ago. This is what Liu Mang ’s memory, the assistant coach of the Universe Luke Walton learned from the Warriors and Spurs. The efficiency of the integration is very good. The Lakers who led the rotten can play the top three defenses in the league at one time. Liu Mang only roughly understands that idea, but Mike Woodson is a master defensive. After hearing Liu Mang ’s idea , I was immediately fascinated by the advanced defensive concept, and I have been studying it. I want to wait until I become the head coach in the future.

It's just that Mike Woodson will not leave the Hawks and defend the championship. Who will give up the opportunity to defend the title? The Hawks ’traditional lineups for the previous two seasons are very traditional, defensive center, shooting power forward, explosive small forward, 3D shooting guard and a wave of point guard, which also allows the Hawks to continue at the beginning of this season Maintain the play of the previous two seasons, but the internal scoring ability is indeed too poor. Now coach Kruger is trying to change the team's offensive structure. Mike Woodson has always wanted to experiment with the fusion of Liu Mang's small ball. The defense of ideas can finally be activated!

The main training is to strengthen the oppression of the defense, speed up the expansion and contraction of the defense frequency, and force the opponent's rhythm to accelerate. The defensive concept is very different from the traditional NBA defensive concept. Traditional NBA defensive teams can't suppress the defensive rhythm. How slow and slow it is, it consumes the patience of the opponent and makes the opponent make mistakes in choice because of anxiety, and the Hawks are now training to make the opponent make a decision quickly and make the opponent make judgment errors in the fast pace.

The purpose of the two defenses is the same, both are to make the opponent make a mistake in shooting or passing, but fast-paced, it is very beneficial for defensive counterattack.

This is where Mike Woodson needs to help the team work out.

Coach Kruger and Stockton, who are mainly responsible for the offense, need to make the cavalry tactics "bigger", let everyone participate, and make full use of the team's current athleticism. Previously, Boozer And Ratliff, as long as either of them is present, they can't play the team's fast break. Both are slow. Now, differently, the team's attack style is possible.

And because of the cavalry tactics, the offense training is much easier than the defensive end.

During offensive training, a group of players who can run and jump are very happy, and they are also very active when they are placed according to tactics, but when training and defending, they are endless. The defense of this small ball concept is too tiring. In addition, the physical energy consumption is very large. The loss is that the depth of the lineup is strong enough. Everyone practices for a while, and the consumption is not too large, which will not affect the game at night.

But when coach Kruger came to train the offensive, the team was very skinny, running thieves.

And the new tactics always make young players feel interesting, especially the possibility of playing similar to the legendary Suns that the whole team can score, so that players who usually have few opportunities to perform are very excited. In training, although complaining, it is very active, and I want to show that I can do it.

"Ess, make sure finally, you can't look back at this step!" Tracy McGrady was still indecisive.

"That's good, Tracy, you go and tell the coach, you don't want to play small ball, tell him you are joking with him." Liu Mang said a very challenging suggestion.

McGrady gave Liu Mang a blank glance and ignored Liu Mang. He understood now and was pitted again!

Although I do n’t know what Liu Mang thought, why there are so many strange ideas, but McGrady knew that he was right.

How long has it been for the Hawks! It has been pitted countless times.

Tracy McGrady thought that Kruger hadn't slept all night and had bloodshot eyes when training in the morning. When training, he was like an angry eagle. Now when Kruger coached, he told him that he was joking yesterday. It is death.

After Liu Mang and Coach Kruger's house left yesterday, Coach Kruger called Mike Woodson first, and then called McGrady. This kind of thing had to be agreed by another core.

At that time, McGrady could not stand the temptation of assisting the king and agreed, and now McGrady began to regret it again.

Get on the thief ship!

This is the mood of McGrady.

So far, Tracy McGrady can only choose to look at the offensive running position and the defensive tactical running position. Other teammates who have the opportunity to play are also studying their new positioning.

In the morning, I carried out a new tactical offensive training, and two defensive training classes. In the afternoon, there was no training. Let the players rest and prepare for the evening game.

The Hawks players, especially role players, now have a clearer positioning. After the tactical system changes, they are closer to the role players of the later generations. Each player has his own clear positioning on the offensive end.

Before the post-90s have not entered the NBA in large numbers and the average strength of role players has not risen significantly, it is difficult to change for other teams, but the role players of the Eagles are all picked up by Liu Mang. The talented role players, Tony Allen and Ariza can only level in the development league, this is not a problem, let the three rookies and Korver first specialize in one aspect of their ability, their progress will even be so Become faster, after all, Xi Qiquan is not as fast as one.

The small ball tactic of the Eagles is still called the cavalry tactics. The name "The whole team ran you together" tactic proposed by Liu Mang was once again rejected, and Liu Mang was very sad about this.

This group of people don't understand romance at all!

Liu Mang must first demonstrate the new version of "Cavalry Tactics". The core ball-handling method is a good thing for McGrady. He does not doubt that Liu Mang will play well in this respect. There were cavalrymen before. Tactics,

Playing the Rockets tonight is undoubtedly a good experimental goal. The opponent's point guard is so bad that he basically has no ability to control the rhythm. The Rockets are in control of the rhythm. It is Yao Ming's center!

Although this exercised Yao Ming's ability, it had too many limitations, so the Rockets were one of the best experimental targets.

...

McGrady is sad over there. The role players headed by Jason Terry are very high. Rashid Wallace does n’t care about the data, just win the game. As a romantic literary enthusiast, Rashi De Wallace's average annual salary cut is close to 10 million and the Hawks have renewed their contract ~ www.readwn.com ~ Which one would care about the data?

Of course, Rashid Wallace did not cut his salary because he came to the Hawks. He went to any team that has the opportunity to compete for the championship and would choose to cut the salary. In the original history, he went to the Pistons and also from the 03-04 season 1700 The salary of more than 10,000 fell to a six-year contract with a starting salary of 10 million in the 04-05 season, but only to the Hawks, he reduced it by more than 1 million.

Jason Terry can run and play, it will be more hilarious for him. Kwame Brown, Josh Smith and others are the biggest beneficiaries. Their physical fitness is great, especially Kwame- Brown, who was originally the player who has benefited the most from the Hawks inside this season, is now speeding up, and he has benefited more from his physical offense player.

As for outside players, Prince does not care about these, but role players do!

After the rhythm becomes faster, they can only be used as fixed-point shooters. They have more performance opportunities. Seizing the opportunity may get more playing time, which is much better than the fixed few minutes before. .

You can fight for the opportunity to show your own strength, which is much better than waiting for the opportunity. This is the key reason for the Suns ’runaway this year. Because of Nash ’s selfless pass, anyone in the Suns has a chance to score as long as he plays. Work **** your own, when you work hard to make sure that there will be rewards, everyone will become very hard ...

The Hawks' training this morning went well, because the players learned this, so they became very hard, and they all support the team's new decisions.

After a short break in the afternoon, the role players spontaneously found Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, and wanted to practice more offensive running positions. This is their chance. They naturally have to grasp it.

When McGrady saw this group of teammates, they all caught Liu Mang's "poison" and felt that he was not far from being poisoned ...
