Chapter 28 Reinforcing meeting (4400 recommendation tickets required)

Now that you have determined that you need to trade reinforcements, you must take it seriously.

Bob said: "Carlesimo, you didn't talk carefully enough before. You can re-introduce the team players in detail, and talk about their characteristics and shortcomings."

"Only when we fully understand the players can we know what they need and what they are suitable for."

In the eyes of 'traders', trading is an art and a highly professional thing.

Those guys who only look at the data and the media's bragging are too amateurish.

The data can only show part of it, and cannot show the player's style and mental attributes.

And the latter is precisely where it will really affect the team.

A player who is used to fast-paced fast breaks is traded to a team that is used to playing slow-paced positional warfare. Such a transaction is a disaster for both parties.

The team will affect the record for a period of time, and the data of the players will decline.

Maybe it will get better after running-in and transformation, but it is more likely that the player will be delayed.

No matter how good the statistics are, a stabbing player with constant news outside the court will only be a bomb in the locker room and affect the state of the whole team.

Like that guy, Big Dog Glenn Robinson.

Both he and Wen Baker have 20+ All-Star strength. The two lead the team. After a few preseason games, the Bucks are hard to find a win. The appearance of a top-notch fish surprised the media experts who predicted in the summer that the Bucks would have playoff strength.

In short, although the big boss is rich and powerful, Bob did not just wave the checks around and trade randomly, and his attitude was as cautious as ever.

However, although he knows the ball, his professionalism is not comparable to that of the coach, and he asks the coaching staff for technical support.

For this kind of technical analysis, Carlesimo asked his number one double bonus stick, Carlisle, who looks exactly like Jim Carrey, to do it.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Carlisle came to the stage confidently.

He is the youngest member present.

He debuted in 89 and joined the New Jersey Nets as an assistant coach. He is only 36 years old now.

Although young, Carlisle is confident in his abilities and has a position for himself: tactical arrangement and player training.

In terms of tactical arrangement, he is not particularly inclined to attack or defend, but feels that it is more important to customize tactics according to the player's local conditions, which forms a linkage with the subsequent player training.

Only by understanding the players can we adapt to local conditions.

Carlisle will analyze the files of every player, and he has already made sufficient preparations, and he just opened his mouth: "The biggest strength of our team is the inside line."

"The first is the power forward position."

"The main force was the core of last season, Clifford Robinson."

"His specialty is top defense and three-point ability."

"Clifford was fast in his early years, and he was good in single defense and assisted defense. He can support a team's defensive system."

"Although my body has declined now, I have practiced a precise three-pointer."

"And Clifford's defensive awareness is getting stronger and stronger, and his defense is top-notch."

"Especially the ability to fill positions, and the timing of judging when to use excessive defense is the best in history. Last season, we did a good job of checking for leaks and filling vacancies. We averaged only 99 points per game, and our defensive ability ranked 8th in the league."

"Paired with a center with excellent frame protection, Clifford can provide more on the defensive end."

"With the characteristics of three-point shooting range, it also increases his tactical adaptability. As a tall shooter power forward, he can provide ample low space for offensive centers."

"Another advantage is that the heart is big, and the key is not to be afraid of the battle."

"Clifford's shortcomings are that the offense is not efficient enough, the ability to combine man and ball is not strong, and the technical details of autonomous offense with the ball are lacking, which can be restricted at the tactical level. When he is targeted in the playoffs, it is difficult to complete scoring. He does not have the hard power to assume the core of tactics."

If Malone were here, he would succinctly describe it as an inside 3D player.

Clifford is similar to Daluo, Ibaka, and Xiaojia.

To put it simply, he is a blue-collar power forward without the ability to carry the entire court, support the team's lower limit, and increase the team's upper limit.

Listening to Carlisle's analysis, the management and coaching staff nodded.

Bob thinks more.

He thought that Carlisle's ability seems to be a little bit higher than that of Carlesimo.
Bob said, "Go ahead."

Carlisle: "Then power forwards, Harvey Grant and Charles Lynwood Williams."

"Both are short power forwards."

"Harvey Grant averaged 18.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in his peak season, but it has weakened a lot now. Last season, he only had 9.3 points and 4.8 rebounds. He is characterized by accurate mid-range shooting, but his rebounding ability is average. If he is placed on the bench, he will be very suitable."

"Charles Lynwood Williams is presumably better known by his nickname, 'Buck' Buck."

"This 81-year veteran has been selected to the All-Star three times, once on the second team, twice on the first defense, and twice on the second defense. It is a pity that his state is aging seriously, but as a substitute, he can still provide a strong defense."

"We have no shortage of power forwards. Clifford as the main force and Harvey and Barker as substitutes are enough."

Bob listened to Carlisle's words and nodded.

The main force has All-Star strength, and the backup is also a former star-level power forward.

Carlesimo said that Clifford's three-pointer can also make up for the lack of three-pointers.

Carlisle: "And then there's the center position."

"The main center last season was Chris Dudley."

"His characteristics are excellent defensive assistance, top-notch rebounding ability, and good air cutting ability."

"In terms of advanced statistics last season, Dudley ranked 21st in defensive value and [-]th in center position, second only to Vlade Divac."

"The disadvantage is that the single defense ability is average, the rebound protection is average, and the confrontation is insufficient."

"When he is paired with Clifford, he can provide the best frontcourt quick defense and double-team ability, but the protection of the paint area will be much lower."

Carlisle asked a lot of questions at once.

Mainly Dudley is really sorry for his price.

Dudley's salary is the highest in the Trail Blazers at 380 million.

As a result, the strength did not improve.

Pippen's salary this season is only 292 million.

Dudley's salary is almost 1.5 skins, and his performance is only 0.5 skins at most.

After finishing speaking, Carlisle was full of energy, and his words became lively: "But Dudley's weakness is not a problem, because we have better players, that is, this year's two rookies, Sabonis and Malone."

"Sabonis is characterized by being very comprehensive."

"He can adapt to many tactics, can play pick-and-roll, has high-quality fixed-point screens and effective support, has a sharp pass comparable to a guard, and has precise mid-range."

"When needed, he can also enter the low post for singles, and his backs, shakes and hooks are still top-notch."

"Sophisticated defensive awareness allows him to provide top-notch frame protection."

"His shortcoming is that his athletic ability is weakened and he can't play for too long, but the former can be made up for by Clifford. He and Clifford are a good match. One assists and one protects the frame. The interior defense guarded by the two is definitely the top in the NBA."

"There is no way to solve the playing time, but we have Malone."

"Ma Long's strength lies in his physical talent."

"He is tall and long, has the flexibility and lateral speed of a striker, and has excellent confrontation ability."

"With this kind of physical condition, even if there are many technical flaws, it is enough, not to mention that Ma Long has top mid-range shooting ability and not bad low-post skills."

"Having body and skills, good physical fitness, not easy to get injured, and a mature mentality, this is the main reason why he was invincible in the preseason."

"Malone can play power forward, center, and small forward if necessary."

"The tactical compatibility is perfect. Whether it is with Sabonis or Clifford, the offensive and defensive performances are very good."

"Relatively speaking, the twin towers with Sabonis are the most powerful."

"In the past few preseason games, Malone used mid-range shots and air cuts to wander around the waist and wings in the paint zone, while Sabonis was active at the free throw line."

"On the offensive end, Sabonis connected high and low positions to deliver shells and fixed-point mid-range shots. Malone grabbed open positions and quickly caught the ball for a layup after playing singles with Sabonis and crossing screens with Sabonis or by himself. Two 220+ giants are extremely difficult to defend. The routine is simple and efficient."

"On the defensive end, Malone's delay is more, and Sabonis is more active around the paint area to protect the frame. With Clifford's help defense, this frontcourt three-man partnership is our most efficient defensive combination. We also relied on this to defeat the Bulls."

"Without Sabonis, when Malone and Clifford teamed up, they were limited by their lack of experience in the game, and there were still some deficiencies in defense. In this scene, they struggled against the Lakers' Trident, but this is not his problem."

"Ma Long is very good at using his body. He does a good job on the defensive end. The main reason is that our perimeter is still a bit weak, but this can be made up for by tactics."

"It doesn't even require a lot of tactics. As long as he and Clifford have a better understanding, Clifford's top cover, coupled with Malone's height and arm length provide the top frame protection, and his top lateral speed, our defense can go up to a higher level!"

As long as you are not deaf, you can hear Carlisle's appreciation for Malone.

But such a talented rookie will be appreciated by anyone.

Carlesimo answered: "My opinion is the same as Rick's."

"Actually, the time for the preseason is too short. Our new lineup has not yet finished running in. When the defensive tactics are well-tuned and the reinforcements are completed, we will definitely be able to play the top three defenses!"

Tactics are not plug-and-play hardware, they still need to be adjusted, especially defense.

Bob was also aware of this truth, and touched his chin: "So, you think it's the outside line that needs to be strengthened?"

Carlisle nodded: "Yes, outside, especially shooting guards and small forwards, this is our weakness."

"In terms of point guard, Rod Strickland is a top-three point guard in active service. His high-level statistics in assists are second only to Jazz's John Stockton. He is characterized by sharp breakthroughs and stable passing."

"The defense isn't very good, but it's not bad either. The flaw lies in his character. He is open and uninhibited. There are many off-court things such as hit-and-run, drunk driving, etc., and his personality has hidden dangers."

Carlesimo nodded approvingly.

He called tactics a few more times in the game, and Rhodes gave him a bad face.

Carlisle was also dismissed, and after complaining a bit, he said fairly: "But Rhodes has professional ethics, and he is not a player like a big dog. Generally speaking, there is no need to worry too much."

"The backup point guard is James Robinson, who averages 8 points per game, has a certain three-point ability, and is an offensive point guard with excellent shooting. He is also the only one on the bench who can help Malone on the offensive end."

"Although the three-pointers were not stable, and the shooting percentage was only 35%. This time, I missed several shots, which made the Lakers more determined to double-team, but at least there were three-pointers."

"There is also a point guard, Randolph Childress, the No. 19 pick in the first round of this year. He was traded with the Pistons in the summer. He has good skills and extremely poor confrontation. The average data in the preseason is 3 points and 1 assist."

What are you talking about!
Carlesimo was a little embarrassed.

Because he was the one who proposed to sign this person, he was supposed to replace Rhodes, but he failed.
But he wasn't annoyed either, he was about the same age as Carlisle, both belonged to youth coaches, and had a good personal relationship.

Carlisle is also very emotionally intelligent, and changed the subject in a timely manner: "At least there are point guards available, and the only one who can really play at shooting guard is Aaron McGee."

"His characteristic is a strong breakthrough player. He has three-pointers at the top of the arc but is very unreliable."

"We don't have any good shooting guards outside of him."

"The small forward position is more serious. Basically, Harvey Grant and Clifford are swinging, but their problems have also been analyzed just now, and their offensive ability is insufficient."

"As mentioned above, we have enough power forward and center reserves, even a little bit too much."

"The main point guard is top-notch, the backup point guard is qualified, and the shooting guard and small forward are severely lacking."

"To put it bluntly, it is the lack of outside firepower."

"The one who is really sure about the three-pointer is the power forward Clifford, but he is the main force. If Malone is allowed to lead the bench, no one can open up space for him and share the offensive pressure except James Robinson. This is the key problem that needs to be solved."

Carlisle bowed slightly: "The above is my point of view."

"Excellent analysis!"

Bob leads the applause, and the others follow.

clap clap!

clap clap!

After the applause, Bob thought about it: "The key reinforcement positions are shooting guard and small forward. The requirement is to have a stable three-pointer and be able to share the pressure on the offensive end. I thought of a name, Supersonic shooting guard Hersey Hawkins."

Carlesimo: "Hawkins? He is very good. He has a top-notch perimeter defense. He is very good at flanking and stealing. I remember that he made 44% of the three-pointers last season and averaged 1.4 shots per game. But the Sonics won't let people go?"

Bob said, "How about using Dudley as a bargaining chip?"

Carlesimo looked at Carlisle.

Carlisle said: "They have no shortage of outsiders. Dudley is very suitable for their defensive tactics, and he may agree."

"Just as an option."

Bob said, "Tell me about any other candidates."

Carlisle, who had been thinking about how to strengthen his brain for many days, immediately said, "Tim Legler and Hubert Davis."

"Tim Legler, 29 years old, 193cm tall, 90kg in weight, averaged 9.4 points and 1.8 assists last season."

"His three-pointers are very accurate at the top of the arc. Last season, he shot 52% and averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game. The Warriors did not renew his contract with him. He is now an unrestricted free agent. He played a few preseason games for the Washington Bullets. His three-pointers have improved. He can also shoot from two points in the bottom corner. I asked someone. He hasn't signed a contract with the Washington Bullets. He can win over!"

"Hubert Davis is the Knicks' backup shooting guard. He is 25 years old this year. He is 196cm tall and weighs 83kg. He averaged 10 points and 1.8 assists per game last season."

"The characteristic is that the basic shooting skills are extremely strong, and the hand shape is very stable. He can shoot three-pointers from the top of the arc, 45-degree angles, and bottom corners. Last season, he shot 45% of the field and averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game. The disadvantage is that due to poor confrontation, the defense is a bit average."

"He has been on the bench for the Knicks all year round and is not valued by the Knicks, but Don Nelson became the head coach this year. With the character of the old Nelson coach, he may be reused, and it will be difficult to trade."

Carlisle said a lot.

Bob touched his chin: "Both are very good candidates, why is there no small forward?"

Carlisle hesitated a bit: "There is also a candidate for the small forward. He is very suitable for the Blazers, but he is not suitable."

This contradictory statement made Bob curious: "Who are you talking about?"

"Dominique Wilkins."
