The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 367

The match lasted for more than 20 minutes, one half-time, and finally Leon ended the game ahead of schedule. The main team was 66:61, 5 points ahead of the substitute team. It can be seen from the score that the total score of the two teams exceeded 120 points in half time, which is obviously a sharp battle. At the same time, the main team was only 5 points ahead of the substitute team at the end, which is incredible.

When Leon blew the whistle to end the game, Stadameier grumbled unwillingly, saying that he would continue to fight, and at the end of the game, he would definitely win the bench by 20 points. Leon said: “Is this your goal to win the bench by 20 points?”

As soon as Leon spoke, no one said anything again. Even Stoudemire took the ball and walked aside. Everyone was sweating, but no one wanted to wipe off the sweat and cool off. The main players are all standing on the sidelines, waiting for Leon’s instructions, while the substitutes are all smiling and high-fiving each other. Obviously, if you only lost five points against the main team, you actually won.

It is not the score that wins, but the confidence and momentum. Similarly, the main team loses not the game, but the face.

On the first day when Leon entered the Suns training camp, he slapped the old Suns players, and of course he also gave D’Antoni a slap. The score is like saying, look at you Mike. , What did you practice on defense in the past few years?

Of course Leon knows that this is not a manifestation of the full strength of the Suns’ main players. A summer’s rest made their bodies a little rusty, and the substitute team has been well relaxed and practiced in Lake Havasu, where Fox- Leon spent a lot of time training a special routine to deal with the sun.

In fact, their routine is very simple. The outside line is advancing as hard as the Suns. Jaskovicius has a problem with the confrontation in the positional battle, but in the advancing battle, his passing is very good. The sun’s defense was not very effective. If you can’t push, do unlimited pick-and-fade outside the three-point line, a lot of fake pick-and-rolls, use Barea’s assault ability and Barry’s passing and three-point ability to tear open the sun’s defense. Then Turiaf’s endless fight for offensive rebounds in the interior.

These three tricks hit the three weaknesses of the Suns’ defense. One is that Nash, as a point guard, is the player closest to his own basket during offense and has insufficient retreat ability; second, there is a problem with the outside rotation; third, the inside player Stoudemire is not a good rebounder.

This summer, Kurt Thomas, who was able to provide protection in the Suns’ low post, was signed by the Supersonics. With Dior and Stoudemire only, the Suns’ defensive rebound protection is definitely not enough. You will not get stuck, but Dior is lazy.

Another point is that Leon knows that the physical strength and morale of this group of benches can only last for more than 20 minutes. If you continue to play, the second half will definitely be defeated by Nash and the slowly growing Suns. In that case, this A match will have no effect. Therefore, Leon ended this seemingly asymmetrical game early.

Seeing some of the players showing a little resentment and some very excited expressions, Leon said: “A summer has passed, think about it, do you feel any different from last year? Run fast and jump. Very high, very accurate shots. But the defense is very poor, can not get the rebounds, do not retreat in time, when you can’t get up, there are not many offensive methods for positional warfare, you can only rely on Nash to drill around. Can anyone tell me how to solve these problems?”

If Leon said these questions at the beginning of training to criticize the Suns’ main force, he would definitely be disgusted by the players and rebellious. But when a twenty-minute match ended and the problems of the main team were exposed, the players knew that Leon was right. But these things they often hear from the media and some experts say that there seems to be no particularly good way. After all, they were very close to the finals. After all, they have achieved considerable success. Why should they change it?

Who knows if these problems are corrected, will the previous advantages disappear? If every team in the NBA can succeed in correcting the problems based on the analysis, then everyone can win the championship.

Obviously, everyone would have such thoughts, but no one dared to say it, everyone just remained silent. D’Antoni wanted to talk to the side and wanted to tell Leon that it is not good to ask the players directly in the team. After all, they are all adults, not children. They are working, not going to school.

On the other side, Mike D’Antoni’s brother Dan D’Antoni whispered: “This is not a college, and the NBA training courses are not college professional courses, and the players are not students…”

Dan D’Antoni has taken Leon’s place of his brother, and his brother has always felt sorry for him.

At this moment Marion said, “Who knows? Isn’t this the job of the coach? We just need to be in charge of playing.” Marion is a jovial player who often speaks without any scruples, and his brain is more funny. The wind is as unrestrained.

But as soon as Marion finished speaking, Bell and Dior standing next to him knew it was going to be bad. No one dared to talk to Leon like this when they were in the Boston Celtics, even Garnett and Pierce weren’t.

Sure enough, Leon walked to Marion. He was nearly a head shorter than Marion, and he had to look up his neck to look at Marion. When Leon approached, Marion could clearly see the scar on Leon’s face, as well as the casserole-sized fist on his chest. Marion couldn’t help thinking that this was a terrible figure who could knock the Indiana Pacers down, and knocked down the triad leader in Boston.

Seeing Leon’s eyes, Marion swallowed and wanted to say something. He only heard Leon say: “If you get two more points in the third quarter of the fifth game, you can hold those two in the fourth. I think you probably don’t have to change coaches this season.”

Leon said that the fifth game refers to the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference semifinals this year. In the critical third quarter, Marion scored no points and missed two key goals in the fourth quarter, which directly caused the Suns to lose. The crucial battle was finally eliminated.

Leon’s words obviously made Marion a little angry, his face was not so good, and he clenched his fists, but look at Leon’s fists and forget it.

Leon stepped back a few steps, looked at Bell again, and said, “Ragar, come on, and guess how to solve these problems.”

Bale was trained by Leon in the Celtics~www.mtlnovel.com~, which made him from a fringe player in the NBA to an outside gate capable of ringing the bell at the American Airlines Center. Leon asked him to say that he would definitely say, thinking about it, and responding: “We should build a better defense and be more active on the defensive end to grab rebounds. Maybe you will introduce the Hawkeye training method, or that Very unique defensive method, amoeba oppression, if I remember correctly. Uh…”

After saying a few words, Bell can’t go on. He is not an academic talent, but an engineer who refers to where to fight. His answer seems to be expected. In fact, most Suns players or fans think so, thinking that Leon will bring defense to the Suns and make them a strong team with balanced offense and defense.

But Nash didn’t think so. He had communicated with Leon before. Leon said that the offense was not good enough for the Suns. So after listening to Bell, Nash said: “I think maybe our offense is not good enough. If the bench can play that kind of offense, then we have no reason to only score 5 points more than them.”

After Nash finished speaking, he gave a thumbs up to Nash and said: “mVP-is-mVP! (This is mVP! Then, Leon roared: “Starting today, the Phoenix Suns training camp officially opens! If If you average 110 points per game, there is no way for you to win the championship, so we will get 120 points per game! “God’s Whip of Basketball
