Chapter 115 The Benefits of a Weak Team

Chapter 115 The Benefits of a Weak Team

Philadelphia 76ers group match, Iguodala, Miller, Evans, rookie Smith, Willie Green, a group of five, Channing, Lou Williams, Korver, rookie Jones, Dalem Porter group.

Channing's group played pick-and-roll tactics. Channing set a screen for Louis Williams and rolled down. The two of them practiced a classic pick-and-roll, but Dalembert was stuck at the basket at this time. For rookie center Smith, Dalembert really wants to dunk on the rookie head.

It's a pity that Dalembert's gesture of asking for the ball was ignored by Reed, and the ball was passed to Channing on the other side instead.

An acceleration, followed by a behind-the-back dribble, Channing threw away the slow-moving Reggie Evans, and flew into the air.

"Wow, beautiful breakthrough!"

Cheeks was very relieved about Channing's dribbling ability. Dalembert didn't applaud with his teammates, and he was still unhappy that Reed didn't pass him the ball.

In fact, Lu Wei has his own considerations. Everyone knows Dalembert's inside singles ability, which is to bully the level of the team's rookie center. In the real game, he can't singles anyone. If this is the case, why not Give Channing the ball and give this potential rookie a chance to make the most of it.

But Dalembert didn't think so. He originally thought that what Cheeks said about giving Channing more offensive ball power meant the same right to pick up missed singles as himself, but now it seems that Cheeks is obviously cultivating money. Ning's face-to-face attack ability, Channing's possession of the ball is almost as good as Iguodala's.

In the next round, Dalembert still failed to win the heads-up right, which made him a little out of balance. After Channing turned around and rushed in, Dalembert unexpectedly stood in front of Channing.

"I'm going, what's the matter?"

The sudden appearance of a seven-foot-long man made Channing a little flustered in the air. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Dalembert was here to block shots or grab rebounds. In a hurry, Channing folded in the air for a layup , the ball failed to score.

Dalembert stuck in position, pushed past Smith, grabbed the offensive rebound, and jumped for a dunk.

"what!"

Dalembert, who vented his grievances, roared at Smith, and he finally got the long-lost chance to attack.

Blocking his teammate's breakthrough route, and even provoking his rookie teammate, this action was a bit unfriendly, Channing frowned, and realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Dalembert.

Fortunately, after the dunk to vent, Dalembert also calmed down a lot, and did not continue to deliberately not cooperate, so Channing and Iguodala didn't say anything, and the poor rookie center Smith could only swallow his anger.

After the half-day match, Cheeks was not satisfied with the performance of the players. According to his and Sanders' design, the local double-teaming tactic required all players to actively participate in the game, regardless of the inside or outside line, or any position. During the rotation, carefully observe the opponent's transfer of the ball, take the initiative to switch defenses, and run more, so as to avoid missing people. They were not active enough and proactive enough when switching defenses, and some people were obviously reluctant to resist.

The entire confrontation did not meet Cheeks' expectations, but he did not criticize the players. As Cheeks who played point guard in ancient times, he knew very well that the defensive habits of these players were not so easy to change. For example, Dalembert, who has played a traditional center all his life, wished he could die in the paint, and he couldn't even understand a zone defense, let alone let him go out and change defenses on his own initiative.

"The change of tactics does not happen overnight. From the coaching staff's continuous repair of tactical details to the players' gradual adaptation and self-adjustment to tactics, it will take time."

Cheeks thought in his heart: "Fortunately, we don't have record requirements this season, so we can play around with our hands and feet."

This is the only downside to joining a strong team, such as the Lakers and Spurs. Their main lineup has already been perfected, and all they need are corners and corners of the puzzle. Rookies can only improve themselves according to the needs of the team, not May be free enough.This is also the reason why Channing refused to join the Celtics. Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett, plus Rondo who dealt the cards, all the possessions were divided up. Defensive blue-collar, and how many years the Green Army dynasty will last, he will have to stay in the defensive blue-collar position for as many years. Compared with cultivating rookie Channing, Danny Ainge will definitely choose to want the championship without hesitation and reshape the Green Army. Dynasty glory.

This is the advantage of being in a weak team. There is no record pressure, no matter how bad it is, it can be used as a test field for cultivating new stars or new tactics. For example, Durant has the right to shoot as he pleases in every game in the Supersonics. , the low shooting rate is appalling, the team has only won one game so far, Adu has also been ridiculed by countless fans as a team cancer, but from a long-term perspective, against the Supersonics and Durant, it is a once in a century The Supersonics firmly regard Durant as the cornerstone of the team, and all the resources must be given to make Durant stand out. Adu is also struggling, and he works tirelessly every day. It's getting closer.

The same is true for the Philadelphia 76ers. With Iguodala and Channing at the bottom of the defense, in the weak Eastern Conference, they can't fall out of the playoff team, but at most they are at the level of the first round, and the lower limit is guaranteed. With the boss's explanation, Cheeks dared to let go of his hands and feet to conduct drastic tactical experiments, isn't it partial double-teaming? If one game fails to produce results, he will play ten games. If ten games have no effect, he will play the entire season. Take a [-] step back , If the team is still unable to play this tactic well after the entire season, at most it will make a comeback next season, then there is no loss.

It is even more beneficial and harmless to Channing personally. The partial double-teaming tactic magnifies his role on the defensive end, making him an important player in the team. Not to mention that Coach Cheeks boldly let go of the ball. It gave him the opportunity to upgrade the offense that Durant was very envious of before. If he can really develop the offense, Chen Ning is confident to surpass Yi Jianlian and become the second player in China's NBA after Yao Ming.

This is an honor that Chinese basketball players of later generations can hardly hold a candle to. People thought that the birth of Yao Ming was the beginning of a blowout for Chinese basketball players in the NBA. Unexpectedly, everyone except Yao Ming could not stay. It has become a luxury to have a seedling that hopes to hit the NBA.
