overlooking the pitch

Chapter 362
This Clippers is still too dependent on Chris Paul during the game, which is not the same as Brad Stevens thought at the beginning.Because what he hopes is more ball transfers during regular times, but not always relying on their core players, so that there will be no problems with both core physical strength last year.

Before the first game of the regular season, the Clippers met again internally. Brad Stevens coughed twice and cleared his throat. Looking at the players who were commended, even Brad Stevens began to become tactful: "The game was played very well, but it was far from what I wanted at the beginning."

After listening to the second sentence, many Clippers players suddenly became unhappy. This is far from enough. They won all preseason games, averaged 14.7 points per game, and had the highest average point difference per game. Or there are more substitutes, they have all played their own strengths, isn't that enough?

"In this preseason game, we won all the games, but Chris's performance almost determines your performance in this game." Brad Stevens flipped through the game in his hand Record, "In the game against the Pacers on October 10, Chris scored 11 points and 24 assists. This game was his best game, and we also won the Pacers 14 points."

As he spoke, he turned over a few more pages, and then said: "But in the game three days later, facing the challenge from the Spurs, when Chris only scored 16 points and 6 assists, you also It was very lost in the attack. They had a worse lineup than us, didn't even pick a starter, but we didn't decide until the last minute."

At first, when everyone thought it was over, only An Sheng felt that this was not like the boss he was familiar with. Such general remarks were not in line with Brad Stevens' habits at all. After something happens, the kind that will definitely convince you thoroughly, like many football masters, presenting the facts and collecting statistics is his favorite thing to do.

Brad Stevens immediately went on to say: "In the 4th minute, Ray, after you swayed the opposing player, there was almost a road in front of you that could go straight to the inside, but you hesitated." , you may not have that strong confidence in your body, but, that's not the time to hesitate."

Brad Stevens did not tolerate Ray Allen because he was a superstar before. In this question, Ray Allen became Brad Stevens' first accusation Object.As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. In the eyes of Brad Stevens, Ray Allen is no worse than Jason Stevenson. He can take on the responsibility of the Clippers. Play a more important role, not just a three-point shooter.

However, among them, Brad Stevens also played a little cautiously. Originally, Ray Allen left the Celtics because he didn't want to be a substitute, but after coming to the Clippers, it was obvious that He couldn't squeeze any of the three outside positions. At this time, Brad Stevens was talking about Ray Allen's problem on the surface, but in fact it also made Ray Allen take on more important roles. many responsibilities.

This is exactly what he wanted for Ray Allen, so he did not refute Brad Stevens at this time. Ray Allen, the biggest player in this group of new aids, did not What to say, naturally, for more other players, the questioning of Brad Stevens is more concerned.

"Mr. Chris from Germany, I need you to show your inside offensive ability. There are several opportunities when you encounter a guy who is far from your opponent in height and weight. You did not attack decisively. What you are most afraid of is Double-teaming, it's very simple, you have to complete this attack before the opponent's double-teaming comes."

"And Matt and Xavier's defense"

Nothing happened to An Sheng throughout this play, but there was such a smile on his face, which is what I am used to. The depression of not having any sense of participation was completely gone. He was smiling and watching Brad Stevens' familiar show of power, but the flames of war finally burned on him.

"And you, Ann! Don't think that if you don't participate in the competition, you have nothing to do."

"Me?" An Sheng's eyes widened. This is a disaster for himself. It's okay if he didn't play once in the whole preseason. He was a little unhappy.

"Of course, don't think that you only make statistics on the players on the field. I also see all your performance off the field." Brad Stevens directly turned the stack of papers in his hand to Finally, "You didn't wave the towel 12 times, you didn't applaud 19 times, and you didn't stand up 22 times when the whole team stood up and cheered. Do you know how much this affects the players on the field?"

An Sheng was directly speechless by all this. He didn't know how to explain himself at all, so he had to shut up and listen carefully to the teaching of the devil coach in front of him.

However, after waiting for a while to summarize, unexpectedly, Brad Stevens took the initiative to throw himself out at the beginning: "What I just said are all your mistakes and problems, but , I think our game is played like this, the biggest problem is still on me, I have a lot of responsibility for many tactical and offensive designs, and for the differences between the NBA and the NCAA.”

"However, our goal is the championship. The entire regular season will be an opportunity for me to experiment. I don't want you to care too much about the victory in the regular season. I hope you can use my game as a substitute for training. Straight through to the end. That's what I want to see."

And four days later, the opening game of the first regular season, the opening game between the Clippers and the Lakers is about to begin. This time, the league did not choose to let last year's opponents in the finals start the opening game. The Celtics' replay of the Eastern Conference finals and the Los Angeles derby against the Clippers and the Lakers with Dwight Howard.
