Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 114 Artest's Correct Opening Method
Zen master stared at Jim who came uninvited vigilantly. Recently, the relationship between the two has been a little delicate.

"Phil, I didn't come to drink your tea this time. On the contrary, I brought some gifts." Jim put a stack of forms on the desk of the Zen master.

Compared with Laughlin, who is very nervous, Kupchak, who works hard but is always used as a gunman, and Stevens, who is sent to study with a Zen master and has no skills at all, Jim feels that he is still the one who is silent and spends every day. Liubov, who only knows how to deal with data, is the most reassuring.

Putting forward the concept by herself, Stevens initially established the victory contribution calculation system. After six months of improvement, she can already clearly show the performance of the players on the court.

After getting this stack of statistics and analyzing the trend of the above data, combined with the performance of the players on the field in the past two months, Jim further confirmed his point of view.

"I remember you saying that Jordan didn't need the triangle offense, which limited his ability, but we needed the triangle offense to get other players involved. I think the same can be said for Kobe, but now let's see , Kobe averaged close to 30 shots per game this month, more than Chauncey, Ron and Ben combined, what's the situation? Liberate Kobe's offensive ability, regardless of other players? This is not your style." Jim pointed to the top line of data, which reflected that Billups and the other three had no role in the offensive end. Except for the occasional sniper three-pointer and offensive rebounds, they had no other role.

"Recently, Kobe's hand feeling is relatively good. It happens that Ron and Chauncey are not in good condition, so let the shot be distributed in this way. As the head coach, I have the right to do so, and the winning streak during this period also shows the necessity of doing so. "The Zen master replied in his usual flat tone.

"According to the report of the medical team, Kobe's body has reached the limit of fatigue. Recently, the intensity of his game has obviously exceeded expectations. If the high-intensity game continues for more than 42 minutes, he is likely to be injured. This is something you and I don't want to see. In comparison, the victory or defeat of one or two regular season games is still within our acceptable range." Jim pulled out Thomas Carter's medical report again. Recently, Kobe had symptoms of knee soreness. Ice should be applied to the knee after the game. It is very likely that there is a problem with the ligament.

"So you want me to control Kobe's playing time to about 30 minutes? Believe me, this is not a wise approach. He himself will not be the first to agree." Zen Master sneered.

"No, I hope he doesn't play in the second game of the back-to-back until the medical team declares that his knee soreness is no longer serious." Jim said.

This proposal sounded so funny that even the Zen Master didn't strain his face and laughed, but after he calmed down, he found that Jim opposite him had a serious face, and he didn't seem to be joking.

"Well, if you can persuade him to accept this arrangement, of course I have no problem here, after all, you are the boss." Zen master expressed his attitude.

"You can rest assured about this, and then we will discuss about Ron. I think that even if he is always outside the triangle offense, he can do more than what he is doing now. We can't treat him as Rick. Fox or Bruce Bowen. Now he's not playing as well as I expected when I signed him."

Today's Artest still has some sense of presence on the defensive end, and plays the role of a corner shooter on the offensive end. With his unstable three-pointers, it is obviously impossible to be a qualified 3D player, and he is good at forcing Breakthroughs and low positions are because Kobe and Garnett often occupy low positions when they launch the triangle offense, and there is not much space to display them. In the past 50 regular season games, except for occasional flashes, Artest struggled most of the time. His scoring average was 5 points lower than last season, barely reaching double digits.

"Okay then, I'll just listen to Coach Bath's advice." Zen Master said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Actually, I really want to be a coach. Well, let's look at the data. First of all, let's start with three-pointers. He has the highest shooting percentage at 45 degrees on the left side, reaching 44.7%, which exceeds the league average. The shooting percentages of the two bottom corners are only 17.6% and 10.5%, which are positions he is not good at, but in our tactics he often has to shoot in these two places, and the low efficiency is normal..." Jim didn't seem to listen Seeing the meaning of the Zen master's ridicule, he took out Artest's shooting hot zone map and analyzed it.

Following Jim's explanation, Zen Master's eyes turned from joking to serious.

As a head coach, it will undoubtedly be very painful to have a management team that doesn't understand the game. For a bolder team like the Knicks, the money is willing to be spent. The players are famous, but they cannot be kneaded into a whole.The stingy ones, such as Sterling's Clippers, use reselling players as a means of profit. Even if the head coach has superpowers, he can't achieve much.

For other teams, the boss delegates power to professional people to do professional things, such as Jerry West, Pat Riley and Larry Bird can flex their muscles and use their vision, connections and abilities To build a competitive team.

As for Mark Cuban, an outlier, he is a super fan himself, relatively understands the ball, and is willing to invest. The Mavericks have always been a strong team in the Western Conference since he took over.

"...Ron's breakthrough success rate is higher than that of his turnaround shot. Once he is allowed to attack near the three-second zone, he has a pretty good finishing ability. Unfortunately, we have not developed tactics for this. I I think he and Chauncey can get about 3 more shots per game without losing efficiency, which can give Kobe an extra 4-5 minutes of rest time."

To Jim's surprise, the Zen master smiled and clapped his hands.

"I still underestimate you, Mr. Jim Bass. Thank you very much for your generous suggestion. The coaching staff will make adjustments in the future. I will accept your gift." Zen master sorted out the data sheets scattered on the table Together, they held out their hands to Jim, and the two shook hands.

The door to trade has been closed, and there is no need for another conflict. At least before the end of this season, the two have the same goal, which is to win the championship.

In the Los Angeles Derby, Kobe made 23 of 11 shots and "only scored" 32 points, fixing his 40-point streak in nine games.

阿泰斯特则15投7中得到18分，同时锁死了快船外线的主要火力点马盖蒂，让对方仅得到11分。湖人久违的6人上双，121比96大胜快船。
