God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 503 Reflection

The loss to the Grizzlies was just the beginning. In the first 10 games of the new season, the Bobcats only achieved a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, including a wave of 4 consecutive losses, temporarily ranking second to last in the Eastern Conference.Of course the team executives didn't say anything, they didn't expect the team to skyrocket this season, but Jackson and Chang Wei still felt very ashamed.

During the offseason, Jackson vowed to lead the Bobcats to become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. Although Chang Wei didn't say it, he had the same idea in his heart.But the reality gave them a blow. It is not that simple to lead a team well and achieve their own goals. What's more, the players still need time to adapt. If there is no chemical reaction, all the team's short-term goals It's all talk, so they need time, a lot of time.

In order to let the players run in as soon as possible, Jackson increased the intensity of training.At present, the team is full of young people who want to prove themselves. The increase in training intensity will not cause them to rebound, but will grit their teeth and persevere.In addition, Chang Wei offered his own magic drink again, so Jackson's training became more and more unscrupulous, and it would not affect the player's state anyway.

While training, the coaching staff also began to reflect on the team's tactics. Is it too complicated?Chang Wei is also thinking about this issue. Copying the Rockets' style of play does not seem to be a good idea, especially when others have not yet converted their potential into immediate combat power.Now, besides Roy, only Jack, Ellis and Milicic scored in double figures, and the scoring points are relatively concentrated, but the Rockets' tactical system requires others to share the pressure of the main attack point as much as possible.

The situation of the Bobcats requires Jackson to make a decision, whether to ensure the team's record and change to superstar basketball, or use the record as a price to allow other players to get better exercise.This is undoubtedly a difficult choice, and Jackson himself was vacillating. He decided to ask Chrissys, hoping that the latter could reflect it to the boss. After all, this is related to the future of the team.

Chrysis didn't dare to neglect, he immediately handed over this issue to the consortium that established the team, and let the big shots make a decision.In fact, no matter which path he chooses, Chang Wei feels that there is nothing wrong with it, and he is also confident in helping the team lay a solid foundation.If you choose to cultivate stars, then you can build a team with Roy as the core and equip various role players around him; if you choose to make the whole team improve steadily, then the workload will be less. Minor fixes are enough to achieve the goal.

Of course, the team will not wait for this decision to come out, Jackson still has to lead the team to continue the regular season.With his teammates unable to provide much help, Roy resolutely carried the entire team's offense.In three consecutive games, he scored 31 points, 28 points and 30 points respectively. While helping the team stop the losing streak, he also won the best rookie in the first month of his career.

Roy's performance has become a heavy weight on the balance, and the top management of the team finally decided to build the team with him as the core, which means that the workload of Chrissis will increase rapidly in the next few years, and he must give the team Bring in more role players, or a star willing to be second in command.Chang Wei has no objection to this. In a sense, this Bobcat team is just a general among dwarfs. If you want to build the Bobcats into a strong team, it is necessary to exchange blood. The memory of the previous life is the best weapon.

Since Roy is the core of the team, it is necessary to increase his role in the system, which can also promote him to grow faster.The other players were a little dissatisfied with the team's decision, but they quickly figured it out. The NBA is a business, and here they can participate in high-level special training. The growth rate is not slow, but in the In terms of team status, it can't compete with Roy. It's still very good for my future, so why should I oppose it?
Jackson is also very satisfied with Roy. Since the above has formulated a development policy, he can implement it himself.Roy soon got unlimited fire rights, the team's pick-and-roll tactics further increased, and the proportion of breakthrough balls gradually decreased. Even if it is a breakthrough ball, it is Jack or Ariza who breaks through, and then distributes the ball to Luo who is waiting on the outside. Yi.

But Roy didn't take the shot unscrupulously just because he monopolized the right to shoot. He still conscientiously passed the ball to teammates in better positions, which made Chang Wei feel very relieved.In fact, there is no need for Roy to do this at all. He is the boss of the team. The coaches and management have recognized his status. He should play as he wants, but he still considers his teammates and the victory of the game, so Only then willingly pass the ball to a teammate who is more sure of scoring, instead of forcing the shot himself.

This is also the reason why Chang Wei is willing to choose Roy with the second pick. This guy is undoubtedly a natural leader. His football quotient, IQ and EQ are all top choices. Why don't you hurry up and recruit such an excellent player to be the core of the team? ?
Under the leadership of Roy, the Bobcats gradually returned to the right track, but their so-called right track is still outside the top eight in the Eastern Conference. It is basically a fantasy to make the playoffs in the first season.Chang Wei believes that Roy is right. The latter has averaged 20.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, but it is still difficult to enter the playoffs.

In Chang Wei's view, as long as the players learn from the experience and lessons in the game, and then win the games that can be won, that's enough.For a young team, they have no shortage of talents, and the experience of the game is the most important.

At the end of November, the Bobcats were ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, and only one game away from the Pacers at No. 10. Their outstanding performance has also been reported by major media in the United States.Of course, the focus of media reports is naturally Roy. He is now a frequent visitor to the official rookie rankings, and the probability of winning the best rookie of the season is very high.

Jackson also had to admire Chang Wei's vision. In fact, he was optimistic about Aldridge at the beginning, but he could only regretfully give up the idea of ​​​​choosing Aldridge when the team did not lack insiders.However, Chang Wei just dug out such a wonderful thing as Roy. It stands to reason that a senior rookie is no longer young, and his potential is not as good as a younger rookie, but Roy is an anomaly.And now that Jackson has no prejudice against senior players, where can he find such mature and reliable players?

So when the executives expressed that Roy was the core of the team, he was [-]% willing.
