The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 376
Chapter 379
People’s inspiration always bursts out in an instant, as if an apple hit Newton’s head and made him discover gravitation. Perhaps this story is a compilation of later generations, but the content of this story is by no means vain. Leon felt that his mind should have been smashed by an unknown Apple. Before that, he had been thinking about a set of questions. When Nash, Stoudemire, and Dior are present at the same time, how should they be arranged and combined to achieve the greatest effect.
Nash is undoubtedly the most versatile of the three. Whether it is a pick-and-roll with Stadamel or a pass with Dior, this MVP can do a good job. The problem lies between Stadamel and Dior. Stadameier is a face-to-basket impact style, and Dior showed his outstanding low-post support skills in 2006, but such technical characteristics undoubtedly caused conflict between him and Stadameier.
Stoudemire needs enough space inside for him to sprint, but Dior needs to open up the battlefield in a low position to be the commander. Leon’s original idea was to increase Stoudemire’s mid-range and let him meet Dior at the top of the arc. Perform high and low coordination. However, the technical characteristics of Stadameier lead to such cooperation. Only Dior passes the ball to Stadameier to shoot, and there is no Stadameier pass back to Dior for involvement. Such a pure one-way assist has lost the tactical system. The role of Stoudemire to become a pure mid-range shooter is also a waste.
Leon also thought about letting Dior go to the high post, but when he was in the high post, he had two shortcomings. One was that his mid- and long-range shots were not stable enough, and the other was that when Stoudemire received the ball, he was almost unable to face the basket. To pass the ball back to the high post again, it is also meaningless to pass the ball in one direction. The problem seems to lie in Stadameier’s body, but as an efficient offensive machine, his efficiency in scoring is beyond criticism, and Leon is not prepared to change Stadameier’s play style.
Leon thought about adding Nash to become a graft bridge between the two, but the three-person offensive team can either play independently for each other, or they can match each other to form a complete cycle. The way one person builds a bridge and acts as a way to establish a connection between the two is really a steal. Leon broke his head just like that. He wondered what would happen if he couldn’t add another Jaskovicius? I let him come to replace some of Nash’s functions.
“Replace part of Nash’s function?” Leon was attracted by this idea.
There was a sudden flash of light in his mind: Why must Dior and Stadamel have to be connected? Isn’t that the end of a tactical system between Nash and Stadamel? As for Dior, I can let him be the second Nash!
Because in the Celtics, Leon never fixed Dior’s position on the field. As a jackpot he almost topped every position, topped Kevin Garnett, topped Paul Pierce, and topped. Gilbert Arenas. His outstanding performance in the Suns in 2006 blinded Leon, so much so that he even wanted to change Nash and Stadamel to get Dior into the tactical core system.
In fact, the room for Nash and Stoudemire to change is very small, but Dior, this guy is the real plasticine. He put this piece of plasticine on him without pinching, but ran to pinch the two diamonds! Leon realized that he had thought of the problem towards complexity from the beginning. Of course, he wanted Nash to score more points and let Stadamel support the system alone, so on Dior’s issue, he followed this line of thought to explore, but walked into an extremely complicated maze.
It wasn’t until this time that he realized that what he had to do was not to continue exploring in this maze, but to turn around and leave, because there would be no answer he wanted in this maze.
He called a timeout, replaced Nash, and then said to Boris Dior: “Boris, I want to give you a task, I hope you can complete him well. If you do, I will treasure me Cuban cigars for you.” Because the suspense of the game is no longer big, Leon said very lightly.
Dior must have a task and frowned. He was here to play and didn’t want to complete Leon’s task; but when he heard the cigar, his brow stretched again and said, “No problem, just ask. “
“Next, I ask you to replace Nash’s position, play point guard, and organize the offense on the court. Isn’t it simple?” Leon gave Dior instructions.
Dior froze for two seconds, nodded, and said, “No problem, just like I did in Boston.”
“Yes, I know you can do it, like a real point guard. My requirement of you is very simple. Don’t make mistakes.” Leon reminded at last, and then the timeout ended. Leon used Brent Barry Substituting Raja Bell, before going on the court, Leon said to Nash: “Try to make yourself a shooting guard. If you have a good chance, don’t let it go, score and score.”
Nash nodded. So far tonight, he has “only” sent 6 assists, but he has already scored 22 points, and many offenses in the game are no longer initiated by him. In the past, it was almost impossible for the Suns to make any offense without Nash’s hand, but today Nash’s role does not look so heavy anymore.
After finishing the arrangement, Leon sat back on the bench in a sigh of relief. D’Antoni leaned forward and asked: “This is your solution? Let Boris play the point guard?”
Leon nodded and said, “Yes, you are right, sometimes seemingly complex problems have the simplest solutions.”
“But I don’t think it’s that simple. Boris can indeed play several positions, center, forward, and defender, but he can only replace him temporarily. People call him a French magician, but he is not a real magician. On weekdays In training, there is almost no tactics to contact Boris as a point guard. So far we have experimented with enough lineups and tactics. I am afraid the players will fall into chaos.”
D’Antoni’s concerns are justified. So far Leon has added too many things to the Suns’ original tactical system. They have four to five routines for each attack. This is for a well-functioning team. That is not a good thing. They used to have only one brain, two arms, and two legs, but now they have three heads, and for a while this head is a head, and that head becomes a leg again.
Leon agreed with D’Antoni, and then responded: “So, it’s time for you, the assistant coach, to play a role.”
“what?”
“Do you remember the conversation between me and you in Mauroth? I said you are responsible for the offense, and I will keep the team’s lineup and let the offensive play continue in the Suns. Remember? I am implementing it now. In my opinion, I will give the Sun some small suggestions and directional guidance, but the details of the offense and how to adjust the tactics ultimately depend on you. Mike the tactician?”
Leon didn’t forget to wear a top hat for D’Antoni. D’Antoni could only shook his head helplessly. Leon was right. The reason why he was willing to stay as an assistant coach was because Leon promised him that the sun would die. May maintain the original offensive style to win a championship. Now he has made some useful adjustments. Naturally, how to improve it, and doing those fine work, depends on D’Antoni who is more familiar with the players.
At this time, D’Antoni discovered that the problem that Fox-Leon had been thinking about before, in the final analysis, was only one: how to be a good hand shopkeeper.
……………………
In the end ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the Phoenix Suns easily defeated the Seattle SuperSonics with an away game of 123:102, 21 points, and won the first victory of the season. In the second half of the game, Boris Diaw played a guest role as a point guard. After the game, he did not attract much attention from the media and fans, because his performance as a point guard was really not good. Obviously he was not very good. Used to it, teammates are not used to it.
Only some professional ball reviewers and senior fans have seen some clues from it, believing that Leon is bringing changes to the Suns, but there are too few samples to know. People paid more attention to Nash’s assists. In this game, he only got 7 assists, but scored 25 points. The Suns have not reached the point where he must score. This is different from him in the past, but also because of too few samples, people are just guessing, and Leon did not disclose relevant information at the post-game press conference.
On the Sonics side, Durant scored 20 points. There is no doubt that this is a rising star with a limitless future, but the current NBA does not belong to him. The Suns’ focus has been put on the next game. In the next game, their opponents will be truly in the midst of the sun, and they have a big connection with the Suns in the playoffs-Kobe Bryant and his Los Angeles Lakers. .
