Through playing against a strong team like the Lithuanian national team, Jonas discovered many problems existing in the Chinese national team and unreasonable tactics in the tactics. The biggest discovery was that he still underestimated Stephen’s ability, although Stephen He has some fundamental issues, but he makes up for it with his physicality.

In his coaching career, he has never encountered such a player. It is precisely because of his ignorance of Stephen that he has not fully utilized Stephen's strengths in formulating tactics. After so many warm-up matches, He felt that the deeper he got to know Stephen, the more he felt that such a player was really rare.

For this reason, he found a lot of Stephen's game videos, and wanted to see how Carlesimo used Stephen. In addition, through Stephen, he also had a clearer understanding of the characteristics and strength of the US national team, although it cannot be said that It will be able to defeat the US national team, but at least the possibility has been raised a little bit.

Every head coach must know enough about the players under him, especially the core players, to be able to better make tactics closer to reality and make them easier to play on the field. After all, it is the players who play, not the coach.

Many great coaches are not proficient in tactics, but they can turn some very common tactics into classics. For example, Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz has played just a set of pick-and-rolls for more than ten years, and he can maintain a high score every year. Team competitiveness.

For example, Zen master Phil Jackson is not proficient in tactics. In the Knicks player era, he was just a substitute player. When he was free, he smoked marijuana on the sidelines. Out of control.

To be a head coach, you must have a deep enough understanding of players so that you can know how to use them well; you must have superior personality charm so that players can play for him willingly; Keen observation ability, so as to be able to respond in time.

Relatively speaking, the importance of tactics lies below these points. It is nothing more than hiring a better assistant coach. There are many tactical masters from sports colleges waiting to be hired, but they are good at commanding on the spot and can mobilize There are not many head coaches with active players.

Head coaches in European basketball and international competitions are somewhat different from head coaches in the league. Because their coaching staff is not so detailed, and sometimes they don’t have enough financial support to hire so many assistant coaches, so they are in various positions. There must be some aspects.

Jonas found that he still underestimated Stephen's offensive ability, but how to maximize Stephen's role, because he didn't know such a player very well, so he needed to refer to how other similar teams solved this problem .

The San Antonio Spurs were the first to be excluded. After watching one game, he knew that Stephen and the San Antonio Spurs were also wasted. He didn't play to his full ability, and he watched a few games from the Supersonics. After that, he thought it could be used as a reference, but it was still not to his liking.

At this time, Bob Deng Huade provided him with videos of the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers. After watching them, he felt that although Dwight Howard and LeBron James were not the same type as Stephen, they were still very meaningful.

The Orlando Magic is mainly based on three-point shooting, Turkoglu holds the ball, and Dwight Howard is responsible for the inside offense and offensive rebounds. It is a pity that, in Jonas' view, Dwight Howard The advantages and disadvantages are too obvious, resulting in this tactic not being able to exert its maximum power.

Dwight Howard's strengths are jumping and upper body strength, coupled with his flexible feet and speed, he has a great advantage in rebounding and blocking shots, but this is not the key to defense. Defense is a whole set Action, he can only stop the attack at the last moment.

Of course, the Orlando Magic used other tactics to make up for Dwight Howard's weaknesses, but on the offensive end, Dwight Howard's weaknesses are not so easy to make up for.

His offense is still limited to small hooks and dunks or tip-ups at the basket so far, and other offensive skills at the basket are still not proficient. Even though Ewing has been in charge of guiding him as an assistant coach for a season, there is still nothing. The obvious offense doesn't look like Yao Ming at all.

Therefore, in the tactics of the Orlando Magic, Jonas just selected a few that are more suitable for the current national team, while the Cleveland Cavaliers are the focus of Jonas' learning.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are similar to the current national team. They all have a top-notch and comprehensive player, and they all have a big man inside. Although Ilgoshkas is only a weakened version compared to Yao Ming, At the same time, the equipment of other players is not good enough, but with this lineup, the Cleveland Cavaliers reached the finals last season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are a defense-oriented team. Their offensive tactics are as boring as the Houston Rockets. They are all offensive that make full use of the players' personal scoring ability. LeBron James is both a mother and a father. The team's offensive efficiency is still in the middle and lower reaches of the league, basically on par with the Rockets.

At this point, neither team can compare to the Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, which are also known for their defense, which is why these three teams have better results than their two teams. , but for the Chinese national team, the tactics of the Cleveland Cavaliers are still very desirable.

In particular, the Cavaliers' player allocation is not very strong. In this regard, it is very similar to the Chinese national team. Jonas watched the Cleveland Cavaliers play a few good games, and then called Bob Deng Huade and Stephen. Two, asked their opinions and opinions, and then decided to introduce part of the Cleveland Cavaliers' style of play to the Chinese national team.

But now that the team has achieved initial success, it is not appropriate to make major adjustments hastily, so Yunus can only gradually adjust and add new tactics to the original tactics of the national team. Time to train well.

At the same time as the national team is training, on the other side of the ocean, transactions are also in full swing. To many people's surprise, this year's Los Angeles Clippers made sudden moves again and again, which surprised the Supersonics.

Why, because next year's Los Angeles Clippers' first-round pick will be traded to the SuperSonics with the Coupard trade. If the Los Angeles Clippers strengthen their strength and play very well this season, then such a pick will not It's worth it.

The Los Angeles Clippers first used their salary space to eat Marcus Camby's contract. The price they paid was only a second-round pick to the Denver Nuggets. You must know that Marcus Camby was the last The season's block leader, but also the best defensive player last season.

Although the owner of the Nuggets is not stingy, he is unwilling to pay more luxury taxes when the team's strength has not been able to break through. Moreover, the team now has Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson Two top-salary players, as well as Kenyon Martin and Hilarion Nene, two top-salary players. Camby is also a player with an annual salary of close to tens of millions. Even with his deep pockets, he can’t accept it. When it was easy to send away, Marcus Camby had to be given to the Los Angeles Clippers.

This business can be done, a second-round pick for a best defensive player and a block leader. Thinking of the inside line composed of Marcus Camby, Elton Brand and Chris Kaman, it seems to make people see another inside line strong team.

Just when many people thought that the Clippers were about to develop from this season, their core player Elton Brand was suddenly seduced by the Philadelphia 200ers. The Philadelphia [-]ers were sending Allen away. After Iverson, they already had enough space, so they unceremoniously offered Elton Brand, the biggest restricted free player this summer, a five-year, $[-] million contract.

The Los Angeles Clippers did not choose to match this contract. Elton Brand immediately signed his name on the contract without hesitation. Weiss offered a five-year, 500 million contract. The Warriors also chose not to match, but turned around and offered the Clippers' Corey Maggette a contract.

In this way, although the Clippers acquired Marcus Camby from the Nuggets for almost free and signed Baron Davis, they lost Elton Brand and Corey Maggette. The strength of the main force did not improve, but decreased slightly, which made Presti feel relieved.

At this time, after the Indiana Pacers sent away Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson, the protagonists in the Auburn Hills Palace incident, they were originally sent away to appease the enemy Jermaine O'Neal, but Jermaine O'Neal is good The elephant didn't appreciate it, coupled with his injuries, the Pacers made a decision to abandon him and sent him to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for tj ford, niesterovic, baston and this year's Rookie Roy Hibbert.

At this time, the Houston Rockets, who have been holding back in the trading market, suddenly made a big move. Their rookie Dante Green, Bobby Jackson, next year's first-round pick and some cash were traded from the Sacramento Kings. Tester made Yao Ming overjoyed.

The Rockets were able to get Ron Artest at such a small price. Apart from the fact that Ron Artest was not interested in the Sacramento Kings who had no intention of winning, there was another reason why the Rockets chose the former Kings coach A Delman, of course, the Rockets also have a tradition of trading with the Kings, which is one of the reasons.

I don't know what's going on, but the insomnia suddenly worsened. I lay there for two or three hours and couldn't fall asleep. I was so sleepy that I woke up in the middle of the night.
