God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 502
The rest time between festivals was very short, and Jackson didn't have time to arrange any good tactics.Players need to continue to sharpen, and he needs it too. As a rookie head coach, he still needs a lot of accumulation if he wants to become a famous coach.It is unrealistic to ask him to strategize on the sidelines and lead the team to kill the Quartet. It would be good to give full play to the strength of the players.

In Jackson's vision, Roy must assume the responsibility of the main attack point, and he will have to play more pick-and-rolls with Milicic, because the latter has a higher success rate of attacking the basket than Raheem.But Milicic is not very willing to go down the pick-and-roll. He prefers to go to the low post to ask for the ball, and then use his footsteps to directly attack the basket.

After being interfered by Gasol three times in a row, Roy lost confidence in him, so he had to continue to do everything he did in the first half, or pray that his teammates could hit three-pointers.At this time, his partner Jack was more confident than Ariza. The "starting killer" hit consecutive three-pointers from the bottom corner, and against the Grizzlies' offense, the point difference between the two sides was reduced to single digits.

Milicic's poor performance at the basket made Jackson frowned. He turned his head and asked, "Chang, are you sure that Darko can really be the team's starting center? I think these guys on the bench The interior is pretty good."

"I believe in Darko, just like I believe in you." Chang Wei looked directly at Jackson and said slowly, "He just needs a little time to adapt to the starting level of confrontation, and Gasol can be regarded as a first-class insider in the league. It is normal for Darko not to be able to beat him. If he is given time to gain experience, he may not be worse than Gasol in the future."

Having said that, it is definitely not a good way to hand the ball to Milicic for singles at this time. Roy also thinks so. He would rather pass the ball to Raheem and let him shoot mid-range than hand the ball to Give Milicic in the low post to play singles with the ball.This made Milicic feel very unconvinced, but who made him unable to handle Gasol? The NBA is such a realistic place.If you play well, your chances and playing time will increase. If you don't play well, you can only sit on the bench obediently.

Although the Bobcats did not allow the opponent to expand the point difference, Roy played very aggrieved.He is not unwilling to pass the ball, but meaningless passes are harmful to the team, and may even allow the opponent to take the opportunity to complete the steal.So Roy can only do it alone with the ball.In this way, the Grizzlies can completely shrink their defense, leaving no room for Roy to continue to break through.

Jackson watched extremely aggrieved from the sidelines. The Bobcats did not score a single sports game for 3 minutes, and the point difference between the two sides was stretched to 15 points. He kept walking around like an ant on a hot pot. Suspended can not change the status quo of the team.This made him doubt his ability, as if coaching an NBA team is not easy.

After finally getting through the intermission, the Bobcats have fallen behind by as much as 48 points 66 to 18, which is tantamount to pouring cold water on everyone's heads.Fortunately, Roy was originally a low-key player. If he were replaced by other hot-tempered players, it might be a quarrel. After all, there are not many rookie players who have just taken on a big role and can remain calm in this situation.

After Jackson arranged the tactics for the second half, he stood up and said peacefully: "Being behind by nearly 20 points in the first half is the problem of all of us. Yes, I also have a problem. I didn't help everyone create opportunities. Continue to attack the Grizzlies inside according to the requirements of the head coach, but I need your help, I can't do it alone."

Roy's words have been echoed by everyone, especially Ariza, who made 5 of 1 three-pointers in the first half. He secretly made up his mind to make a name for himself outside the three-point line in the second half.No way, the first two quarters were really embarrassing. As a very important point of firepower for the Bobcats, he had no sense of existence. No wonder the team fell behind so much!
In fact, this group of Bobcats players is still good, already trailing by 18 points at halftime, so what else is there to say?Just work hard!Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, under the leadership of Roy, they played a 9-0 spurt. Ariza made up for it and hit 2 three-pointers. Jack also added icing on the cake, and the point difference between the two sides returned to single digits again.

However, the experience and psychological quality of the Grizzlies players are far above the Bobcats. Gasol scored consecutive shots from inside and outside. Neither Raheem nor Milicic could stop his offensive.Chang Wei felt very helpless watching the two of them clumsily at the basket. It seems that this inside combination needs more special training, or just get a high draft pick?
Of course, Chang Wei knows what kind of characters are in the 2007 rookie class, but he can't do such a thing if he wants to persuade the team to play poorly in order to win a high pick.There is no one who is not eager to win the game. If you lose even the games that can be won, then the team's energy will be lost. Chang Wei is not the head coach, but he does not want to see the team for the sake of It's rotten regardless of everything, and with the Bobcats' current lineup, they can definitely make some big things in the East, so there's no need to be rotten directly.

But now it seems that the Bobcats are very difficult to win this game, and their experience is still too lacking.There is no way, whoever asked Chang Wei to pick out rookies who have only played for a few seasons, and marginal players who have been pushed on the bench for a long time.In terms of drive, they are not lacking, but maturity cannot be improved by relying on enthusiasm. The Bobcats still have a big problem in this regard.

Since he couldn't defend anymore, he simply fought against each other. Roy single-handedly attacked the Grizzlies' inside line continuously, making Gasol a little flustered.But how can he compete against a team alone?When the outside shooters misfire again, the Bobcats can only count on Roy to carry the offense alone, and this obviously cannot help the team narrow the point difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats were still 65 points behind 80 to 15, and the players were a little out of breath at this time. Jackson simply let Roy play the first position, let Kapono and him partner in the backcourt, and Ariza continued to play. In the third position, Lee and Milicic partner inside.This lineup has concentrated almost all the attackers of the Bobcats, and Jackson is also going to put all his eggs in one basket.

However, in many cases, all-or-nothing does not mean that you can turn around. Although the Grizzlies' defense is not airtight, it also makes Bobcats players feel uncomfortable, and the most important thing is that their defense is like paper.The two sides fought into a 25 tie in the last quarter, but this was not enough for the Bobcats, 90 to 105, they suffered the first defeat of the regular season.
