Basketball myth

Chapter 216 Champion Experimental Device

After the game against the Sonics, the Lakers came to Portland without a break to challenge the new strong team of this season, the Trail Blazers!New giants team!
Now the Blazers have started their own superstar gathering policy!Although not every star is a superstar, but no player is given for nothing!In terms of the depth of the lineup alone, the Blazers are much stronger than the Lakers!Players like O'Neal average 10 minutes per game, which makes Thomas jealous!
Of course, Thomas also wanted to trade this guy, but the system issued a serious warning!Once Thomas made the move, the price would be too high!It is possible that the aura just obtained will be gone!
Their main players and substitutes can average more than 13 points per game, that is to say, at least eight players in the Trail Blazers can average more than 13 points per game!This is the ability that makes the Lakers particularly afraid!

"Guys, you have to take this game as a comparison. Rookie players need to know that this game is very important to you. You played very well in this game, at least to enter The sequence of 13 points per game in the league! Once your strength can’t be used in this game! Sorry! You still lack a lot! Including Fisher! You count as a rookie! Our old players need to know that this game It is very different from when we played against the Trail Blazers before! We have to take the other party as our big opponent! A new opponent! The opponent who may play in the finals in the future! Absolutely must not be careless!"

"The starters in this game are O'Neill, Hill, Carter, Horry, Fisher! Our task today is to use 70% of your ability to attack, and the rest to defend! Remember! We must seize them , let's not have other ideas, such as maybe throwing them away in one go! Our strength is strong, but theirs is not weak! Especially you O'Neill, you know Sabonis' ability better than anyone else! This guy's The height and style of play are very out of sync with you! I want you to keep this guy in check! Because half of their organization is done by him!"

"The most important point is that what we have to compete is individual offense! That is to say, don't relax at the end! We have to bite them hard! In the end, the winner is determined! In terms of defense, we need them to shoot more jump shots, more and more. Come on the outside! All of us have to control the rebound! We have to play it safe! Good! Think of this game as a battle between us and the shadow!"

……

"Head coach! Is it possible to be so serious? Why do I feel that you said too much before the game! Is it too serious?"

"Hehe! This game is to review their strength! What I am most afraid of is that they have the idea of ​​​​underestimating the enemy in their emotions! The current Trail Blazers are still not enough for the Lakers! That is, we have underestimated the enemy or for the first time. If you encounter a possibility of losing, in other situations, it is difficult to lose!"

"Why do you say that? The Trail Blazers can be regarded as members of the first legion! Their record is 28 wins and 8 losses? When can the Lakers underestimate such a team! The previous Spurs were just out of In a running-in state, the current Blazers have played more than 30 games! There is no such problem at all!"

"We and the Blazers are two extremes! We are absolutely powerful together! In other words, we are an alliance of giants! O'Neal is our No.1 on the bright side! No.1 recognized by everyone! Blazers It's different! They are a collection of stars! And they are a collection of stars who want to make a difference! They don't have a giant who can overwhelm everyone. In other words, their overall strength is too average! Dunleavy uses such a ball It is a bit of joy for the team to command, and there are also a lot of troubles. The trouble is, who should be sent to start each game, who should be a substitute, and maintain the general voice in the team! Maintain the overall situation! However, in this way There must be something unsatisfactory in the approach! Someone must be sacrificed! The future of the team may not be what it is!"

"Of course! The former head coach of the Lakers is very capable, which I admire very much! That is to say, for the time being, Dunleavy can sacrifice everyone's common interests to fight for the championship! Also That is to say, the situation of the Blazers can last for a few more years! Up to 4 years! However, if the Blazers are not satisfied with the current lineup, and new giants will come, the fate of the Blazers will be hard to say! Unless they You can win the championship! This way, there is still a last chance!"

"Well! We have the Lakers, the Timberwolves, and the Spurs! Even the current Mavericks, the Trail Blazers' championship dream is very difficult to achieve! But who made their boss too rich! It is good to gamble! But , According to my idea, don't gamble away the next few years!" Thomas told his assistant all his thoughts!Well, what he didn't realize was that these things were for the manager to consider, not for him, the off-court coach!Tactics are the only thing for coaches!

The most important point is that the Lakers are talking about the future of the Trail Blazers, not the present. The question now is how the Lakers can beat this team!
"Coach! I know you are a super talent who wants to be a manager! You are talking about the principles of building a team, but can you tell us mortals first! Why can't the Trail Blazers threaten the Lakers now? Please explain! "It seems that someone is still awake, reminding Thomas gently!
"Good guy! I understand what you mean! I have actually given you the answer you want! The Trail Blazers can be said to be a tester for a championship team! They have perfectly defeated the winning era and they represent this This team has the potential to be a championship team!"

Seeing his assistant still bewildered, Thomas looked like an old man teaching a young man!Let Thomas' dark psychology get the greatest satisfaction! "Remember! No matter how deep the team's lineup is, how many people there are are very capable, but there will always be only 5 players on the court!"

"Basketball is not football! The individual performance of football may be carried out throughout the entire game! However, the king of football players without the support of teammates is still free! That is, aliens may win a few games, but it is impossible to win the final victory! Only When certain players are together, it is possible to show the king of football players! Basketball is different! In a complete championship team, maybe super players will doze off during the regular season, but when it comes to Really critical moments, such as the final victory or defeat, such as in the playoffs! The basketball game will become a stage for heroes!"

"As long as we can fight a team like the Trail Blazers to the last moment, as long as we have O'Neal, Hill, and Carter, we will not lose! But the Trail Blazers are different! The last thing they want is always It's all luck! This is the strength gap between the players, and it cannot be made up by the number of players!"

"In a basketball game, you must integrate five people together! Or you must have a core player like O'Neal! This is the way of experience! It's something Dunleavy didn't realize!"

"You mean, Dunleavy wants to integrate 5 of the Blazers? And in your subconscious, Dunleavy can't do such a thing?"

"Yes! This guy of yours is too comprehensible! I thought you had to think about it! You were right in the end! When Dunleavy took care of the emotions of all the players, he couldn't integrate!"

"Coach, what do you mean to say, in the future team building, the substitutes can have strength, but they can't have the strength to threaten the main position. We want to build a team with echelons?"

Thomas looked at the assistant in shock. When did the Lakers have such a No. [-] man?How could this guy not be found in later history?However, Thomas didn't say a word in the end. This is a coach's secret!It is also the basis of survival!Everything depends on your own comprehension!
