NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 217 Lineup Confirmation (Five in One Chapter)

Los Angeles.

In summer training camp.

Almost all members of the Clippers gathered and came to the arena.

Su Chen arrived early, and besides Milosevic, there were several top trainers beside him.

Ballmer's money-making ability is really good. James originally invited the same trainer, but because of Ballmer's money and connections, the trainer chose to come to the Clippers.

The players present are all professional players. Even rookies know the names of many of these trainers.

Some people were still complaining. After all, they were forced to come during their vacation time. If they didn't come, the coach's impression points would be reduced.

Those who were forced to come here now saw this training team and all their previous thoughts were thrown away.

These trainers are very expensive. Even if they are professional players, players who do not receive the maximum salary will find this fee very expensive.

In particular, some of these trainers have full schedules during the offseason. Even if they are willing to spend this expense, they cannot compete with big names like James.

But now, it's all free.

Lillard and George were also very surprised when they saw this training lineup at this time.

The outside world's evaluation of the Clippers is that they don't think the Clippers are competing for the championship, and they are also more worried about the situation of the Clippers.

Lillard has just entered the peak of his career, and Paul is also in his prime. They really don't want to waste their time here.

After all, the Clippers' current lineup is indeed difficult to believe that this is a team that is challenging for the championship.

The only well-known Clippers insider is big baby Glenn Davis.

But even at the peak of his career, he is not an insider who can start steadily, let alone the current him, who has fallen a lot.

In addition to Glen Davis, the Clippers' insiders are two new rookies who have joined the team.

To say that he is a well-known college star in the United States among the first few draft picks, there is something to be said for it.

But a pick in the 20s and a second-round pick is really hard for them to believe.

But if the Clippers don't want to compete for the championship, what are they doing now?
Building a training camp in a place like Los Angeles where land is at a premium, and at the same time spending a lot of money to hire this luxurious lineup of trainers.

"Except for the old Clippers players, this may be the first time for many of you to meet, but in any case, as a coach, thank you for your willingness to come."

Su Chen patted and gathered the team members.

After seeing such a luxurious training lineup, no matter whether there are dissatisfied players or not, they all look expectant at this time.

"For the team, we will not train for the time being. This summer training camp is mainly for individual training."

Su Chen continued to speak to everyone.

Su Chen has memories of the future and knows the most suitable training method for each of them.

Especially among rookies, many players need specific training.

Like Grant's training direction, Su Chen gave him a main direction of defensive training, followed by catching and shooting three-pointers and a small amount of holding the ball and shooting three-pointers.

Grant is not pure 3D, which is a bit wasteful, but he still has a certain ability to hold the ball for three-pointers.

Craig's training direction is roughly the same as Grant's, but there will be fewer three-pointers with the ball. He still trains in a 3D direction.

Dinwiddie and Clarkson already have good ball-holding abilities. Now they just need to increase their personal offense and correct some of their technical characteristics.

What Kyle Anderson and Suchen arranged for him was to strengthen his ability to organize and pass the ball. With a center like Capela in the team, Anderson's one-handed pick-and-roll finishing and high-throwing will be a relatively stable substitute in the substitute lineup. Offensive options.

Although Batum has a certain organizational ability, but in terms of feeding cakes to the center, Anderson's golf quotient and talent are more suitable.

As for Anderson's three-pointer, Su Chen didn't intend to correct him.

Anderson's three-point shot is very slow. Unless he is wide open, he will basically be interfered with.

But Su Chen himself did not regard Anderson as a 3D player. Anderson should just get used to that shooting posture. If he practices again, it will be easier to become better.

Anyway, don't be shorted like Simmons, that's it.

Anderson's shots are slow and slow. If you really leave him wide open, he can still hit.

As for Capela's training direction, it's even simpler, just a blue-collar center.

Roughly the same as DeAndre Jordan.

Trading away DeAndre Jordan was also because there was a cheaper substitute Capela, so DeAndre Jordan was taken out for chips.

George's technical characteristics have been fixed. He has nothing to train, so he can simply strengthen his physical training.

Lillard, on the other hand, has just entered the peak of his career. Suchen needs him to make some adjustments.

Now the team has Jokic, and Jokic has proven that with him as the core, you can not only win the MVP, but also win the championship.

In fact, Su Chen doesn't need to think too much about tactics. Coach Malone has spent several years figuring out a set of tactics that are most suitable for Jokic.

Su Chen can use it directly.

Murray's role is a role that Lillard can refer to, and Lillard has the ability to do better.

Needless to say, the three-pointer after holding the ball in the pick-and-roll is Lillard's signature.

But more importantly, Lillard must learn the two-man game with Jokic.

In terms of finishing ability, Lillard still needs to strengthen his mid-range stability.

On the other hand, Lillard doesn't need to practice his organizational skills, and it's difficult for him to become good at it.

Jokic himself is the organization center, Lillard only needs to fully fire up and concentrate on the offense.

Three-pointers, mid-range shots, and breakthroughs are all what Lillard needs to be good at.

As for how to break double teams when being targeted, that is something Jokic considers. Lillard can be directly liberated from the role of point guard and become a pure attacker.

What Su Chen arranged for Lillard was not to let him practice cooperation with Jokic, but to focus on practicing mid-range micro-operation and the stability of breaking through the basket.

Coordinating this kind of thing is not what you need to practice in summer training camp.

As an S-level prop, the simulation glasses can simulate a thousand times in an instant, and you can practice coordination after the match starts.

At present, everyone's ability values ​​have not reached Su Chen's expectations, and even a thousand simulations will not achieve the best results, so improving the ability values ​​is still a priority.

Su Chen arranged detailed training methods for everyone. Before the players came, he had already handed over the plans to these trainers.

The training team directly took the players to conduct special training.

When these players were training in the training camp, Su Chen did not forget to open his virtual panel.

At this time, he could see a slowly growing yellow progress bar next to each player's avatar.

After the yellow progress bar, there is a light +1 word.

This is easy to understand. When the yellow progress bar is full, the value of that turn can be increased by 1 point.

Although the progress is very slow, they have a whole summer of training camp, which can't add up to five or six points?

Just as the players were training in full swing, a fat man raised his hand.

"Coach, what do I do?"

It turned out that after everyone arranged the training program, Jokic was not led away by anyone. He stayed there for a while and couldn't help but ask questions.

At this time, the only people who had just gathered were Suchen Milosevic and Jokic.

"Your training is a little different."

Looking at Jokic's look, Su Chen smiled knowingly.

Although those well-known trainers are very famous, they have specializations in their fields, and American training methods may not necessarily work well for Jokic.

After all, Jokic can't jump high or run fast, which is incompatible with the mobility that the league currently advocates.

Jokic's real coach, Milosevic, is here, does he need someone else to teach him?

Then Su Chen and Milosevic walked in. Jokic was taken aback for a moment, but followed immediately.

Su Chen has already thought about the building of the summer training camp in advance.

In addition to the general area, there is also a core training room with different color markings.

But the capacity is shown for one player.

Don't even think about it, it must be a VIP level area.

Such a place must be reserved for the core of the team like Jokic.

Even if the truth is not what Su Chen thought, he can still find the best place through the progress bar, and then ask that guy to give up the place to Jokic for training.

"It's right here. Coach Milosevic has arranged a special training plan for you. You just need to listen to Coach Milosevic's arrangements."

After arriving at the core training room, Su Chen said to Jokic with a smile.

Jokic scratched his head, a little puzzled.

He's not a fool, and it's not like he can't see that other players don't get the treatment he has.

He is also no stranger to coach Milosevic. Maybe others don't know, but Milosevic is still quite famous in the European League.

And last season Giannis Antetokounmpo was in charge of Milosevic and played like that.

If it weren't for the friendship established between Suchen and Milosevic, Milosevic would have been scrambled by major teams.

However, Su Chen did not treat Milosevic badly. The salary specifications offered to Milosevic were the highest at this level, and the reward mechanism was also very loose.

After all, the money belongs to Ballmer, so Su Chen was very smooth about using Ballmer's money as a favor.

Milosevic is a coach who prefers training, and other teams are unlikely to offer conditions for a head coach. The most they can offer is a chief assistant coach and a high salary.

Milosevic was not stupid either. Su Chen always had the power to grab him wherever he went, and he was given the highest level of treatment and power.

Even if the work was not done well, Su Chen and his friendship never blamed him. On the contrary, other bosses were not so easy to talk to and had no effect and immediately laid them off.

Jokic is not a player who can hide his worries very well.

Even if he didn't ask, Su Chen could still see what Jokic was thinking.

"Do you think there's anything strange?"

Su Chen asked Jokic with a smile.

"It's not strange, I just feel like you, Mr. Su, are a little too good to me."

Jokic is also an honest person and said it directly.

If it were another player with a little bit of scheming, they would immediately flatter him if they were appreciated by the coach. Why are there still so many doubts?

The main reason is that Jokic is really confused. He himself is not favored by the outside world. Being used as the first pick in the second round by Su Chen is already much higher than the position given to him by the outside world.

If it is said that the text messages were sent separately, maybe Su Chen sent a few more instead of one.

But now the training treatment is obviously different.

This training room seems to be very well-equipped and relatively spacious. The coach is Su Chen's most trusted coach Milosevic, who trains him alone.

You know, Capela, who was selected by Su Chen in the first round, went to train with other players and a trainer.

"Don't think so much, just train hard."

"Milošević and I are both optimistic about you. If the training effect is not bad, you will also have the tactical status of Giannis last season."

"But you don't have to be so nervous. I'm not that strict. As long as you have a good attitude, it's okay to make mistakes occasionally."

Su Chen also drew a pie for Jokic at the right time.

Jokic only came into contact with formal professional training in 2013. This is the reason why Jokic is not favored by others, but this is also one of Jokic's advantages.

His current skills are not yet finalized, and Jokic's learning ability is still very good, and his basketball IQ is also excellent.

Even from the perspective of modern basketball, he can't run fast enough and jump high enough.

The vertical jump is 57 cm, the run-up jump is 73 cm, and the standing reach is [-] meters.

Such physical test data, not to mention matchbox bounce, are far from the talented players who also participated in the draft.

However, Jokic's static talent is very good, and his size can directly pose a great threat to the centers of this era in the low post.

After entering the small ball era, insiders have lost weight and developed three-pointers, trying hard to adapt to this era.

Just like Love, who was a 20+10 double-double machine in the low post, after losing weight to adapt to the times, he gradually turned into a high-defense fortress on the outside.

Jokic did the opposite, maintaining his own weight and maximizing his low-post advantage.

After all, there are no heavy defensive interiors in this era. Even though Al Jefferson is old and not adapted to this era, he still scored 20+10 in the regular season and led the team into the playoffs.

The efficiency has not decreased in the playoffs, still averaging 18.7 points per game.

It's not that the old Jefferson was too strong, it's that there are no heavy defensive centers in this era, so he can't be stopped in the low post.

In the early years when traditional centers were still popular, Jefferson averaged more than 9 points per game in only two of the past nine seasons.

Last season's average of 21.8 points per game was actually achieved by the declining old Jefferson.

Therefore, the younger Jokic, with his size, can already handle the insiders of this era in the low post.

The Nuggets won the championship in the first round against the Timberwolves' luxurious twin towers. Neither Gobert nor Towns, DPOY, could limit Jokic.

Then beat Ayton, thick eyebrows, and Adebayor all the way.

Losing weight one by one, in order to adapt to the small ball era, no one can withstand Jokic.

When Suchen was talking to Milosevic, he also got a positive answer when he told Milosevic this.

Milosevic also feels that Jokic's own athletic ability is not outstanding and there is no need to follow the trend to lose weight and adapt to the times.

Increase Jokic's low-post lethality, and at the same time Jokic has a high ball quotient, allowing him to organize the whole team.

"I'll try my best, coach."

Jokic was still a little greedy when he heard the cakes drawn by Su Chen.

Suchen smiled at Jokic and didn't think much about it.

If Jokic can play with his talent, win the MVP again and lead the team to the championship and win the FMVP, there is no need to doubt Jokic's hard work.

The entire offseason passed quickly.

During this period, Su Chen had been observing the progress of many players.

Everyone's individual attributes have increased by about five or six points on average, which is pretty much what he thought.

Especially Craig, as a loser, he worked too hard, and his individual attributes increased by almost eight points.

The system does not display the data. It is purely Su Chen's way of counting the progress bar.

He has a notebook in his hand specifically for recording the growth of players' records.

He didn't know how many total ratings the players had, and the system didn't show it, but in any case, these Clippers players had basically gotten stronger through this summer training camp.

Of course, not everyone is forced to gain muscle. Players like George and Lillard whose skills have been established have no need to gain muscle and instead perform other individual exercises.

Building muscle will affect the shooting feel, so Su Chen certainly won't let them gain muscle.

It is mainly the rookies who gain muscle. Their skills are not finalized, and some even need to modify their shooting hands.

They are already thin and weak and have not yet reached the level of NBA competition, so they gain muscle to quickly adapt to NBA-level competition.

When the preseason is about to begin.

Su Chen just stopped the training camp, gave the players a holiday, and then prepared to come back to practice tactics together.

Originally, as a new team, it was necessary to practice tactics together early.

But Su Chen, who has simulated glasses, is headstrong. He practiced team tactics and coordination together, and there was no rush to practice before the game.

At the same time, according to the recent strength of the players, Su Chen also ranked the team list.

Starting lineup: Nikola Jokic (C), Nicolas Batum (PF), Paul George (SF), Reggie Jackson (SG), Damian Lillard (PG).

Substitute lineup: Clint Capela (C), Kyle Anderson (PF), Matt Barnes (SF), Marcus Morris (SF), Jerami Grant (SF), Spann Cy Dinwiddie (PG) Jordan Clarkson (PG) Torrey Craig (SF).

Although the 15-man roster has not yet been decided, the team's basic rotation lineup is composed of these 13 people.

Just add two more to the big list.

Marcus Morris was acquired by Suchen using Dudley, Hollins and the second rotation.

Morris was once a love-hate figure among Clippers fans. On the one hand, his scoring efficiency will be quite impressive when facing people who are not as big as him on the offensive end.

But the other side is his defensive level, which has been surpassed by others in various ways. Many people even say that Morris has grasped some leverage under Lu's guidance and his starting position is more stable than anyone else.

Many Clippers fans feel that Morris's change of air is a great reinforcement for the Clippers.

But Su Chen felt that it was not as bad as Barton.

The current Morris is actually a bit defensive. The Clippers version of the old Morris was passed because he is also a veteran himself, and it is normal for him to not be able to keep up.

In fact, even the old Morris is a high-quality attacker on the wing, and his hitting rate and production are above the standard.

Taking advantage of the cheap price of Morris, it is actually a good deal.

Su Chen's requirement on the offensive end this season is to achieve the top three levels of offensive efficiency in the league.

It is difficult for Jokic to switch out, and Lillard is naturally disadvantaged on the defensive end. Su Chen does not intend to go to the extreme defense like the Timberwolves last season when the team already has more than one defensive shortcoming.

Today's Clippers will be a team that emphasizes offense, so Morris is in Suchen's rotation plan.Of course, some Clippers fans may want to complain about Morris' performance on the court because Morris gave Su Chen a reason to have such a stable rotation position.

In short, from a data perspective, even if Morris is not a stable starter, he is still a wing attacker at the rotation level.

Although the Clippers seem to have a good lineup on paper this season.

But Grant, Dinwiddie, and Anderson are still rookies.

Even with the bonus of the summer training camp, no matter how fast they improve, their immediate combat effectiveness is still barely there.

But after looking at this lineup, Su Chen was very happy.

"If Zubac and Leonard come, isn't this the original Clippers?"

Su Chen looked at the lineup and smiled.

"No, Leonard doesn't need to come. He doesn't play much games anyway."

Su Chen reacted again.

Su Chen is not very interested in introducing Leonard in the future.

Master Ka is a very good player, but he has one shortcoming: he doesn't play ball.

Su Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with this first start.

Su Chen had originally decided that Jokic would be in the starting lineup, and compared to others, Jokic has improved very quickly.

Even if Craig gets 8 points of individual attribute values, he still can't compare to Jokic.

Su Chen counted the increase in Jokic's attributes, a full 15 points of individual ability.

This is not only because the core areas of the training camp are more effective, but also because Jokic's own learning ability is very strong.

A person who only came into contact with professional training in 2013 won the MVP only 8 years later. He still won two consecutive awards and then won the championship in the third year.

Not to mention the training camp, based on Jokic's original growth trajectory, he averaged 16.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game in his second year as a rookie in the Nuggets.

At that time, Gallinari and Barton were both big players in the team. They had to occupy a lot of the ball. At the same time, the Nuggets also wanted to train their first-round No. 7 pick Mudiay.

Jokic can still produce this data under such circumstances, which shows that his immediate combat ability is not bad to begin with.

Besides, even with the skill [Fixed Ability Value], Jokic can directly maintain 80% of his peak ability. There is no need to question Jokic's role as the starting core.

With Jokic as the core, there is no need to place a special inside line at the power forward position, not even a space-based inside line.

No matter how fast the inside line is, it is still not as fast as the forward line.

Therefore, Batum is very suitable. Mainly because of his defensive ability, he can defend most power forwards in this era.

Shooting guard has no problem playing Reggie Jackson.

Although Reggie's height is at the level of a small guard, Reggie's defensive ability is quite adequate for the Pistons. His defensive attitude is no problem and he can even switch to guard the wings occasionally while fighting against his weight.

Mainly, Reggie has strong breakthrough ability, starts the first step very quickly, and can complete layups after confrontation.

Open three-pointers are also slowly being developed.

It's a bit like Bruce Brown's role during the Nuggets championship. He doesn't need to hold the ball a lot at ordinary times and just stretches out.

But when he needs to score, he can sneak attack in a surprise attack.

In addition, George and Batum also have the ability to attack independently, so that all five starting players have the ability to attack misplaced offenses.

It is undeniable that allowing Barnes to play guard to strengthen defense can improve the Clippers' starting lineup's overall defensive capabilities.

But what Su Chen emphasizes now is offense. With Jokic and Lillard, it is impossible to prevent pressure on every ball.

It's better to fully attack.

As for Dinwiddie, Clarkson, and Anderson, they all have offensive capabilities.

But they are rookies, and compared with Reggie, there is still a gap in combat power.

[Fixed ability value] There is only one for Jokic to use. Most of these rookies have to rely on their current strength to play.

When practicing tactics together.

Capela, who had always thought he would be firmly in the starting lineup, suddenly discovered the fact that he was not the starter.

If he were to come off the bench for a veteran like Glen Davis, there would be another argument.

When he learned that Green Davis was not on the roster, Capela was even more convinced that he would become the team's starting center.

But now, he is actually playing as a substitute for another rookie.

The point is, he's a first-round pick, and he's coming off the bench for a second-round pick?
The Capella people are numb and don't understand very much.

Since the coach is so optimistic about the man named Jokic, why not choose Jokic in the first round, but choose him in the first round.

The key is that in the first round, he served as a substitute for Jokic in the second round, which made Capela feel very humiliated.

Others will laugh at him when he sees it.

I feel that as a first-round pick, his performance was probably too poor and he was directly put on the bench.

In fact, Capela is not the only one who is surprised. Other players also feel that there is something wrong with Jokic, a second-round pick, playing the starting center?

Jokic went through summer training camp but is still chubby.

In comparison, Capela has gone through hard training in summer training camp and is now stronger.

The entire figure looks more muscular, and although they haven't practiced together yet, the running and jumping abilities that Capela usually shows during training are very suitable for this era.

If another coach had done this, the veterans or star players on the team would probably have questioned it.

But by doing this, Su Chen made no one else talk about it.

They have long heard of Su Chen's iron-blooded tactics. The veterans like Iguodala, Josh Lourdeng, and others were dissatisfied with Su Chen's arrangements at the beginning of last season, but after about ten games, they succumbed obediently.

And he also won the championship.

As the head coach who also serves as the president, Su Chen is a powerful figure that the players can hardly resist. He may be the only big-name player like James who can speak on an equal footing.

After all, his contract is for one year, and if the management doesn't meet his wishes, he can run away immediately.

Moreover, Capela is only a rookie, and he has not gained the friendship of the players who have the right to speak, so no one will offend a powerful man like Su Chen for him.

Of course Su Chen knew what the players were thinking, but he ignored it.

Su Chen immediately laid out his tactics.

I originally thought it was outrageous for Jokic to start the game, but after hearing the tactics deployed by Su Chen, it became even more outrageous.

Jokic not only has to be the starter, but also has a very high tactical status.

They are all professional players and can easily understand what the tactics mean. It is clear who is the red flower and who is the green leaf.

Batum and Reggie were quite happy knowing that they were starting the starting lineup, but looking at their tactical positions, they were both tails.

Both of them have the ability to hold the ball, especially Reggie, who has a stick-to-the-ball style of play.

Now they are allowed to play more without the ball and can only participate in occasional cuts or sneak attacks with the ball, which makes them feel a little emotional.

But they didn't make a fuss, because they also understood another thing.

As the star of the Pacers, George actually has a tactical status of half red flower and half green leaf.

I thought that the tactical system would revolve around Lillard and George, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Although Lillard's tactical status is higher than George's, he carefully looked at the ball-holding rounds of his tactical status.

After watching it for a while, Lillard discovered a surprising fact. He didn't hold the ball as many times as Jokic!
Originally, Jokic stole Capela's starting spot and took it. After all, the coach was optimistic about them and there was nothing to say.

They are not familiar with Jokic, and they are not familiar with Capela.

But now, Jokic's tactical status is directly higher than that of George and Lillard.

Seeing this situation, Batum and Reggie remained silent and looked like they were watching a show.

Originally there were George and Lillard, but it is normal for their tactical status to decline.

There was no need for them to discuss with Su Chen about being the No. [-] Green Leaf and the No. [-] Green Leaf.

If George and Lillard don't say anything, they won't say anything either, just to see who is in a hurry.

George gasped when he saw his own tactical position, but he did not speak immediately.

His fist was on his mouth, and his eyes hesitated, as if he was trying to organize his words.

"Coach, I think if he stands and picks and rolls for me here, I can already complete the shot. There is no need to go back and forth from hand to hand."

Lillard still couldn't help it, and said first.

This tactical system clearly means that he and Jokic share a lot of ball rights.

If it is George, Lillard is still acceptable, after all, he also wants to win when he plays.

In the past season, George frequently fought against the Heat's Big Three and gained his recognition.

But now George has become a player who usually opens up the space, and then after a few rounds, George can play with the ball by himself.

Directly drove George out of the tactical system, a single player who dissociated from tactics.

"It's not that I can't accept such a role. I'm eager to win, but can this system really win?"

At this time, George, who was organizing the language, also spoke.

Su Chen knew there would be doubts, so tactical discussions were allowed.

"OK, I understand what you mean. We will be divided into groups for a team training match later."

Su Chen smiled and said directly.

Sometimes the actual combat once is more powerful than the explanation ten times.

When they heard that they were going to play group training matches, Lillard and George were speechless.

As the person in power, Su Chen is willing to let them compete through strength, which is reasonable.

As for Capela, his eyes were shining at this time and he frequently looked at Lillard. Obviously, he really wanted to be in the same group as Lillard.

Although Lillard's organizational skills are not great, his support for Lillard will show his value. He is good at pick-and-roll quality and rebound protection.

The grouping was done by Su Chen.

Red team: Nikola Jokic (C), Kyle Anderson (PF), Jerami Grant (SF), Torrey Craig (SG), Spencer Dinwiddie (PG) ).

Blue team: Clint Capela (C), Marcus Morris (PF), Paul George (SF), Reggie Jackson (SG), Damian Lillard (PG).

Su Chen directly assigned the rookie lineup to the red team.

This surprised George and Lillard. In addition to them, their team also had Morris and Reggie, two well-known attackers in the league.

Of course, Su Chen is not really too arrogant.

First of all, the coach of the blue team is Milosevic, and Suchen will not give them any bonuses.

And in order to prevent the opponent's defense from being too strong, Batum was not used, but Morris was used.

Jokic directly used [Fixed Ability Value].

Moreover, the red team's tactics were directly simulated thousands of times using simulation glasses.

The red team doesn't need to win, it just needs Jokic to be a threat and let everyone see it.

This match lasted only 30 minutes, with the first and second halves being 15 minutes each, and it was a closed game.

After 30 minutes of play, the blue team still won.

However, the point difference made George, Lillard and others look a little embarrassed, because they faced a red team of five rookies and only won by 5 points.

If Dinwiddie hadn't missed some shots under Jokic's screen, they wouldn't even have been able to win against this rookie red team.

When Jokic took the ball with his back, Capela seemed difficult to withstand it.

This is Jokic with 80% of his peak attributes. How can rookie Capela defend him?

George felt that this could not be done, so they discussed it at halftime and they began to double attack Jokic.

But Jokic's passing vision is ridiculously wide, and most of the openings that appear are captured by Jokic.

If the red team's three-pointers are strictly defended, the red team's occasional cuts will also make it difficult for them to defend. The tall Anderson frequently cuts inside to score.

What convinced them the most was that Jokic took the rebound and then passed the ball to start a fast break while defending. It was too strong.

The whole team is better when Jokic is on the court.

The game was lost just because the team did not have a No. [-] player. Unlike the blue team, Lillard and George took turns attacking, and Reggie could also attack.

The most embarrassing of these is Capela.

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with Jokic taking his starter.

But he has nothing to do against Jokic defensively. If it is an official game, he will be sent off for six fouls.

"I think there is no problem. If we are a team, our combat effectiveness will increase significantly."

At this time, George took the lead in speaking.

Under this tactical system, George plays the third role.

But now that George has accepted it, Lillard has nothing to say at this time.

He thought of Jokic's screening and passing ability just now. He just substituted that he was Dinwiddie and he could make many shots that were not made.

Speaking of which, he was still the beneficiary.

Although Aldridge, who partnered with him before, also attacked in the low post, his screening and organizational skills helped him a lot.

On the contrary, when it was with Aldridge, Aldridge still counted on him to help.

"Okay, got it."

Lillard also nodded at this time.

The only reason Lillard is still hesitant is because Jokic is a rookie.

He has seen the benefits of having Jokic as the core, and he has experienced it up close as an opponent.

But how long Jokic needs to grow to reach the level of a true NBA star, he is not sure.

Although Capela was defeated just now, Capela is only a rookie.

There is a question mark as to whether Jokic can perform as well as he did when facing other NBA insiders.

But no matter what, the current Clippers are indeed pretty good on paper.

He and George can provide support, and at the same time, the tactical ability of two-time champion coach Su Chen should not be fully utilized yet.

Batum is his old teammate, and Lillard still feels that he has the ability to help him.

Su Chen smiled slightly.

After watching the team take care of all these messy things, it's time to charge towards the championship.

In the days that followed, the team was undergoing tactical adjustments.

The preseason of the 2014~2015 season has begun.

The preseason is to inspect the lineup and determine the real team's 15-man roster.

There is no intensity to this kind of game.

Not only did Su Chen not let the team's main players play, he didn't even let the rookie Jokic play.

Jokic needs to train, but he can just go to the NBA to train directly. There is no need for preseason games.

Suchen himself was too lazy to lead the team and directly asked Milosevic to take the team's basic salary and two-way contract to play in the preseason.

The rookie took Clarkson and Dinwiddie, two scorers with the ball.

Others don't even have to play as rookies.

But Clarkson and Dinwiddie alone attracted a lot of attention in the preseason.

The two held the ball and fired unlimitedly. Both scored [-] or [-] points every game.

This is because Milosevic slightly limited their playing time.

Clippers fans were very excited to see the performance of the two.

"We must give Clarkson playing time in the new season. This score is too strong."

"Dinwiddie doesn't handle the ball like a rookie at all. Whether it's mid-range shooting or penetrating inside, he looks like a mature scorer."

"Su Chen's trading level is very good, but his draft level is still very strong."

"Lillard is here, only one of these two can be in the starting lineup."

"Come on Clarkson, he is more of a pure shooting guard and forms a backcourt duo with Lillard."

"Lillard's organizational skills are mediocre. In fact, Dinwiddie is a better starter and can share the organizational burden."

Regarding the performance of these two people, Clippers fans are even thinking about who to start.
