God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 499
The summer league was just an appetizer, besides, the people Chang Wei brought to Las Vegas were all the team's substitutes, as well as those fringe people who were fighting for a formal contract.Relatively speaking, the preseason is a place where you can really practice with the game. The newly released young coach Damon Jackson can't wait to test his tactics in the game.

Before selecting players, Jackson and Chang Wei discussed the need to play fast offense. The so-called fast offense does not mean a group of people running wildly on the field. Refers to more passes and screens and even air cuts, through continuous running to pull the opponent's defense, and finally create the best shooting opportunities.This is why Chang Wei tried to put a group of three-point shooters in the starting position, and Raheem can also hit some mid-range shots.

During the training camp, in addition to urging the players to improve their physical fitness, Jackson asked them to be familiar with various running routes, the complexity of which made Chang Wei's eyes wide open.Of course, the effect is still there, but it is a pity that everyone has overcorrected. The result of excessive pursuit of passing is that the offense is very hesitant, and sometimes it will not shoot until the last moment.

Such a performance made Chang Wei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Can this be called a quick attack?Passing is a good thing, it means players can share the ball, but too much passing can easily lead to mistakes, especially with this group of guys who have just kneaded together in the bobcats, sadomasochism is okay , Facing a strong enemy may cause problems.

Jackson also saw the problem, but he didn't know how to change it.For the good of Jiyou's career, Chang Wei racked his brains and tried to recall the tactical systems of some strong teams in his previous life. As long as he could find a similar one, he could modify it on this basis and use it.As a result, he really found a model, that is, the Rockets with Harden as the single core.

Of course, it is also possible to learn from the Thunder led by Westbrook alone, but obviously the role players in the Bobcats lineup are much stronger than the Thunder, so it is better to learn from the Rockets, anyway, now they also have an excellent guard in their hands.

Chang Wei admired Roy very much before crossing. If this guy hadn’t suffered a major injury, he would have been able to become the top guard in the league in all likelihood. Even his nickname was “Yellow Mamba” similar to Kobe. The increasingly rampant ridicule, but extremely high praise for Roy.Since he is the core of the team, it's okay to copy the Rockets' style of play.

In fact, the Rockets' small ball tactics are very simple. They rely on the personal ability of the stars, and then continue to break through the ball. Of course, this also requires other players to have a good passing awareness, otherwise they will only be black holes in ball possession.Best of all for the Bobcats, Roy and Jack are a solid backcourt duo, which limits the fast offense to a stable range.For any team, crazy acceleration is courting death, and it will only make the whole team dizzy.

After Chang Wei told Jackson his opinion, the latter shook his head again and again, and gave some reasons: "Fast offense cannot be played by one person, what we want is team basketball, and playing like this has nothing to do with superstar basketball. What's the difference?"

Chang Wei laughed at Jackson's words. Looking at the entire history of the NBA, apart from the Pistons in recent seasons, which wonderful team does not have a few stars?Letting stars control the system is superstar basketball, but that may not be the case. As long as he wants to, he can play team basketball with himself as the core, and Chang Wei believes that Roy has this ability.

In the end, Jackson was still convinced by Chang Wei. He also wanted to see if Chang Wei's idea was feasible. Besides, what if it failed?The Bobcats are a new team. The Bucks only became the team with the shortest time in NBA history from building a team to winning the championship after they selected Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

When Chang Wei and Jackson told Roy the plan, the young and seasoned rookie just thought about it for a while, and then said: "No problem, please believe me, I will definitely be able to do it, the Bobcats will never be unbearable hit!"

Chang Wei smiled and did not speak. As a time traveler, he has absolute confidence in Roy. As long as this guy's health is not in trouble, the team must keep him no matter what the price is, because he It is the cornerstone of Lynx.

It is precisely because of this that Chang Wei resolutely chose Jack as the team's starting point guard instead of Ellis, who is more aggressive and aggressive.Jack will not compete with Roy for the possession of the ball. He can even wait for the pass on the outside like a full-time three-point shooter, which Ellis can't do. His off-the-ball ability is better than Jack's Said to be too bad.

After Jackson asked Roy to play sudden points and pick-and-rolls, he discovered the profound meaning of Chang Wei's insistence on making these players the starter.Needless to say, the pick-and-roll, Raheem and Milicic are both very good screens, both of them are players who can attack the basket and shoot with one hand. This simple and even rough system can be said to be absolutely practical.Even if they are defended by the opponent, the singles of Roy and Milicic can keep the team alive.

It's not that singles can't exist, but they can only be used at the right time.For small ball tactics, passing is naturally the first element, but singles are also indispensable.If other players feel so bad that most of the shots will hit iron, then at this time, the ball must be handed over to someone who is more confident to perform singles, at least the team's offense can still breathe.

Roy's point-to-point tactical system still showed good results in training, but it remains to be seen how it will be in actual combat. The preseason is a good stage.Under normal circumstances, the league does not arrange many preseason games for teams, and five or six games are already at a normal level. Although the time is not long, it also gives the head coach the opportunity to check for omissions and make up for vacancies.

Jackson seemed full of ambitions for the preseason, but he still had some worries deep in his heart. After all, this was his first season coaching an NBA team, and the preseason was his first game coaching an NBA team.Of course, not playing well does not mean that he will be fired. In fact, even if the next few seasons are in the East, his position will not be in any danger, but Jackson himself can't bear it!This is the first season of his official debut. If he wants to get a head start, he should start with the preseason. Anyway, no one will care about the preseason record, just use it to practice.
