Chapter [-] Confusion in the new season
(Brothers, wave your tickets and monthly tickets, thank you thank you~)
Strictly speaking, the Timberwolves' backcourt combination does not have a real shooting guard. Putting Jeremy Lin and Eric Bledsoe in the second position is more about building a combination of two point guards in the backcourt. .
Although Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel is an academic head coach, he is not rigid, on the contrary he knows how to be flexible.
Frank's coaching style is to focus on defense. While doing a good job in defense, he can improve his offensive ability. In Frank's view, it doesn't make any sense to forcibly separate offense and defense.
In a basketball game, better defense can obtain suitable offensive opportunities, such as steals, defensive counterattacks, second offenses, etc., and similarly, excellent offensive ability is also the most powerful defense, which can occupy more offensively. The initiative makes the opponent tired of defense.
Today's Timberwolves are young, energetic, full of drive, and not afraid of challenges. There are no superstar players in the team. Even Li Shihao can only be regarded as walking on the road of stardom. He still needs more precipitation from the status of superstar and accumulate.
After the summer reinforcements, the Timberwolves' lineup looks more complete, both offensive and defensive, and they can also have more choices in terms of tactics, which will undoubtedly make the new season more worth looking forward to.
Time flies, and as soon as September arrives, the attention of the NBA picks up quickly.
In the summer off-season, there are no games in the NBA. Fans are more willing to watch other sports games. Now, the new season is about to start, and the NBA has returned to the sight of fans.
Players in the league have started to return to the team for training one after another. After the busy and happy summer, many players have a lot thicker waistlines. Whether their skill strength has improved or decreased compared with last season is a problem for every team's coaching staff. The problem.
Many players eat and drink a lot during the summer off-season, and problems such as drinking and hanging out in nightclubs are not uncommon.These activities are very harmful to athletes, but in the off-season, there is nothing that can restrain players, and players still need self-discipline.
The Timberwolves players are generally young and have a good atmosphere. There is no such problem. The atmosphere in the locker room is also very harmonious.
Surprisingly, Marc Gasol's coping ability has become better and better, and his low-post offense has become more reliable. When attacking at the basket, he can skillfully use small hooks, throws, and dunks. Undoubtedly, Gasol's inside deterrence has risen to a higher level.
In the summer time, Marc Gasol probably learned a lot of skills from his brother, which made Li Shihao look forward to the start of the new season even more.
This season, many new players have been added to the team. There are three rookies alone. As the core of the team, Li Shihao naturally became the target of these new players.
Paul George and Eric Bledsoe are both rookies that the Timberwolves are looking at this year, and their potential is not low. Li Shihao also pays attention to them and gets along very well with them.
On the contrary, Jeremy Lin couldn't let it go. He made a lot of mistakes in the team's training and lost his calm performance in the summer league. This made head coach Frank Vogel frown again and again.
Obviously, Jeremy Lin's performance made Frank feel a little disappointed. However, although Jeremy Lin couldn't start the situation on the offensive end, his defensive attitude was extremely serious, which also helped him a lot to a certain extent.
After all, Frank Vogel is a defensive coach, and Jeremy Lin is still worth using in his opinion.
Jeremy Lin's sluggish performance is obviously caused to a certain extent by the lack of communication with his teammates. If Jeremy Lin can develop a certain tacit understanding with his teammates, not to mention playing exquisite cooperation, the number of mistakes on the court can be reduced a lot .
Li Shihao had a good exchange with Jeremy Lin after the game. The latter also understood that his state was a bit bad. If he did not make changes, he would undoubtedly be refrigerated at the start of the new season. The result would be too tragic.
In front of Big Brother, Jeremy Lin poured out his bitterness.
Although the Timberwolves are a young guard, Jeremy Lin is still the one with the least status. First of all, he is the only undrafted rookie in the team. Although he signed the contract, he is not outstanding in terms of personal strength. Eric Bledsoe can beat him in heads-up, which undoubtedly makes Jeremy Lin a little unconfident.
Moreover, Jeremy Lin still retains a skeptical attitude towards the running-in with his teammates in the new season and the use of the coach. This is the problem that bothers him the most, and it has made him restless during this time.
Li Shihao chuckled after hearing this, and he explained, "Shuhao, you are worrying a little bit, but things are not as bad as you imagined!"
"Just three points!" Li Shihao raised three fingers and said, "Build a good relationship with your teammates, ensure your value on the field, and create opportunities for your teammates!"
In Li Shihao's view, as long as Jeremy Lin can achieve these three points, it is not impossible to gain a firm foothold in the NBA and even become a star.
"Shu Hao, the NBA is not the NCAA. The two are not the same. Here, the interests come first. Every player has his own value. All you need to do is to discover them!"
"You performed very well in the summer league. You were focused on the defensive end. You were not greedy for the ball. You were able to connect teams. Although your scoring was low, you were stable. This is your strength. What you need to do is to show it on the court! "
"You are a Chinese-American, your English is not bad, and it is not that difficult to communicate with your teammates. There are no old football ruffians in our team, and we are very easy to get along with. A good shot, these can make you a good relationship!"
"As for the coaches, you don't have to worry. In the NBA, it's a kind of luck to meet white coaches. White coaches will be more rational and reasonable in using us yellow people. Instead, they won't be as paranoid and unreasonable as some black coaches. You just play with confidence!"
After these words, Jeremy Lin's troubles dissipated a lot. After all, Li Shihao is someone who has experienced it, and he not only gained a firm foothold in the NBA, but also proved himself with his strength.
According to what Li Shihao said, the relationship between Jeremy Lin and the players in the team has improved a lot. There is indeed no big gap between the young people, and there is no conflict of interest between the old players in the league.
Li Shihao was relieved about this. He sincerely hoped that Jeremy Lin could gain a firm foothold in the NBA. There are not many Chinese who can play in the NBA. If they can help each other, they can help each other. Li Shihao is not willing to see an example like Yi Jianlian.
