Chapter 660 Heat Coaches
In the afternoon training, Rondo arranged a match between the players and the coaching staff.

The purpose of the confrontation game is to let the players adapt to the intensity of the upcoming game. Obviously, the level of the coaching staff cannot be compared with the Lakers, so the coaching staff needs some help from props.

First of all, in terms of numbers, because it is necessary to reach a level close to that of the Lakers, the number of accompanying training teams is not 5, but 10. In this way, both offensive and defensive ends have reached a level close to that of the Lakers. For this reason, the accompanying training team also specially added 5 substitute players.

Then there is the gap in strength and height. The accompanying training team used some props to prevent the main team from attacking.

Rondo and the coaching staff attached great importance to this training session, requiring the players to respond with 70% strength.

This is the first time I have seen such a disparity in the number of people in a game. You must know that one more person in the game will cause great difficulties for the opponent, let alone five more people in one breath.

In the scramble for the ball, Gaia scrambled for the ball with a member of the coaching staff. Because of the height difference, the opponent was holding a long training stick to scramble for the ball. As a result, the opponent touched the basketball first than Gaia, and the training team made the first attack.

"What the hell is this?" Gaia complained, even though it looks ugly, it is still very practical to use.

The training team takes advantage of their numbers to attack the main team's basket, because the huge number of advantages makes the main team always lose sight of one after the defensive meeting.

"Zone defense!!!" Wade immediately ordered the players to change their tactical formation and adopt a more efficient zone defense, so that the training team could only look for opportunities outside.

Although zone defense is the best defensive method at this time, zone defense is also under a huge test when facing 8 offensive players at the same time. The training team uses non-stop running positions to try to tear holes in the main team's zone defense formation.

"Everyone stay calm and keep the formation." Wade reminded the players, and the players quickly adjusted and restored the original formation.

It almost succeeded. The training team had no chance to hit the inside line, so they had to shoot from the outside line.

In the NBA, there are a group of people who are more "powerful" than players, that is, coaches. These coaches are outstanding in a certain field. There are coaches who specialize in shooting, coaches who are good at breakthroughs, and coaches who specialize in defense.

As strong as James also often loses to his shooting coach in practice.

"If it's outside, of course it's for Carlisle!!!" The basketball was quickly passed to Carlisle. Carlisle is the shooting coach of the Lakers. He is best at medium and long-range shooting.

After catching the ball, Carlisle assumed a shooting posture. His posture was very standard, just like a textbook, and his shooting rhythm was also very comfortable. Mu Chenfeng pounced, but his speed was far behind Carlisle's quick shot.

"He's pretty accurate." Gaia joked.

"Don't underestimate a person who only does one thing, you will never know how high his attainments are." Every time he played against these coaches, Wade dared not take it lightly.

However, the test on the defensive end is only a very elementary test. The real test is on the offensive end. The training team takes advantage of the number of players and arranges two people to mark the main players.

Although the defensive level of the defensive players is average, there are too many hands that can't support them. With four hands circling in front of them, it is very difficult to protect the ball, let alone a hand.

The basketball was forced to stop as soon as it reached Barrett's hands, and it was in a position he was not good at. Barrett could only protect the basketball and wait for the support of his teammates.

"Here!" Mu Chenfeng suddenly flashed out from behind him, and Barrett shot out the ball quickly. The moment Mu Chenfeng caught the ball, a double team came over. Mu Chenfeng took advantage of the fact that the double team was not fully formed, and dribbled the ball between them, successfully breaking the double team. At this time, only Bradley was standing in front of him.

"One-on-one, there is no problem." Mu Chenfeng rushed to Bradley.

"No!!!" Wade stopped loudly, but it was too late, Mu Chenfeng had already started, "It's over." Wade had already expected the result.

Mu Chenfeng's breakthrough speed was very fast, and he didn't spare any strength, but while he was advancing, he was surprised to find that Bradley was able to keep up with his speed and was not thrown away by himself.

"It's fake." Mu Chenfeng thought to himself, his starting speed is second to none in the league, even professional players can't keep up, but Bradley, who is nearly 40 years old, completely keeps up with his rhythm, "How can a 40-year-old be so fast?"

After thinking about it carefully, Mu Chenfeng suddenly realized, "It's not that his speed is fast, but that my speed has slowed down."

Bradley is the defensive coach of the Heat. He was known for his strong individual defensive ability when he was a player. He is an extremely flexible defender who will adjust his defensive strategy according to the opponent's characteristics. And he has only one core idea on the defensive end, which is to "limit" the opponent's advantage.

Bradley is not outstanding in terms of height and strength, but he is often able to defend the core of the opponent who is far from his own size and strength in the game. To do this, relying solely on physical strength is far from enough. His defensive awareness and judgment have become more and more sophisticated with age.

Mu Chenfeng rushed to Bradley. At the final layup, Bradley cut the basketball with a scalpel-like shot, and Mu Chenfeng failed to attack.

Although the abilities of these coaches are still there, they are some 40-year-old veterans. Their offensive speed is still slower, but their offense is very stable. The main team quickly returned to defense and established a defensive formation.

Don't give him a chance to shoot, otherwise it means scoring a goal.

The basketball is in the hands of John. His organizational skills and passing awareness are extremely strong. A tricky "crotch pass" passed the basketball from the defender's crotch to the inside. Lopez did not know when he broke through the defense of the main team and caught the basketball firmly.

Facing Gaia and Crowder's defenses at the same time, Lopez showed no rush, and the continuous footsteps made the two fly away, turning around and hitting a hook.
