Almighty Coach

The regular season of the new season has officially started.

The opening season of the Staples Center for the new season will naturally be left to the Giants Lakers. As for the Clippers in the same city, the first game of the season will fly to Portland against the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are strong teams. They have been in the playoffs in recent years, and their results have steadily improved. In the fiercely competitive West, being able to stay in the playoffs is enough to prove the team's strength.

In contrast, the Clippers were not considered a strong team, and they also traded away from last season's core player Ronnie. They also signed up with some retired and re-entered balloon stars, which instantly became a "old weak disease Disabled shelters, so both professional commentators and ordinary fans are optimistic about the Blazers winning the game.

In the prediction before the game, the nine sports commentators interviewed by the media all gave the answer to the Blazers' victory, and the bookmaker's odds also confirmed this.

The Blazers fans at home are very excited. Although the game has not started, they have begun to consider what method to use to greet the first victory of the new season.

In the Blazers' locker room, the players looked very relaxed. They all felt that this was a game that could be easily won. The last few players on the team bench were even more motivated, because they felt that this game will soon enter garbage time, and then they can rub up seven or eight minutes of playing time. For those players who have not yet entered the rotation, it is worth celebrating to have the opportunity to play and to perform in front of the coach.

The Trail Blazers coaching staff is also very relaxed. After all, the opponent is the Clippers, and it is an "old and weak sick shelter". The coaching staff doesn't think that a group of old and weak soldiers who have retired will be able to exert their surplus heat after returning to the field. Not to mention the Trailblazers' double shots in the backcourt, which is also the frontline combination in the league, they can definitely beat the Clippers easily.

On the other side, in the dressing room of the Clippers, the atmosphere is much more serious. Hall, Ramon and Gray are all returning to the field after retiring. This is the first official game after their comeback, and will naturally pay special attention. In particular, Gray, the former genius had little game experience, had played more than 100 NBA games in the past, and now he is back again, and as a starting center for the Clippers, there is even a nervousness in his heart. mood.

Li Dai was sitting alone in a chair, holding a tactical board in his hands. He seemed to be closing his eyes to refresh himself, but in fact he was using the prophecy to ask for a sign box.

"Heavenly spirits, spirits from all walks of life are showing their spirits quickly. Give me a sign!" Li Dai murmured silently in his heart. In the system, a box was also drawn out from the prediction box.

"It's a sign! Although it's not a sign, it's not bad, let's see what is written on the sign."

Li Dai checked immediately, and the sign read "Hand the ball to Wood."

"What does this mean?" Li Dai thought for a while, and finally stood up and walked to the middle of the players and said, "I will talk about the tactical layout of this game."

The players immediately stopped things in their hands and turned their attention to Li Dai.

Li Daigan coughed, cleared his throat, and then said: "This game, our tactics are very simple, hand the ball to Wood."

Everyone continued to stare at Li Dai, waiting for him to continue talking, but Li Dai was quiet and did not mean to continue talking.

Or Wood couldn't bear it, he first asked, "Coach, then?"

"What then?" Li Dai asked subconsciously.

Wood looked at Li Dai inexplicably: "I mean pass the ball to me, what should I do afterwards? Is it a pick-and-roll, or a breakthrough, to create opportunities for the outside, or am I attacking the basket directly?"

"Well, you can do it yourself." Li Dai said casually.

"I'll do it myself?" Wood blinked. He has played basketball for so many years and has never seen the head coach arrange his tactics like this.

"Is there a problem?" Li Dai asked back, and then said: "Wood, you are the point guard, and you were the leader on the court. How should the team organize the offensive? It's when you should do it, right?"

"Yes, just ..." Wood looked hesitant.

"Are you worried that you cannot take on this important task?" Li Dai asked with a smile.

Wood did not answer, but the acquiescence was equivalent to approving what Li Dai said.

"Do you think you haven't recovered to your original state?" Li Dai then asked. He didn't wait for Wood to answer, but said: "Wood, our team has many excellent players. They used to be superstars, but everyone Have not returned to their peak state, including you. "

"I know, you need more time to get back your feelings, to get back the feeling of the game, but now that the regular season has started, we don't have that much time. So I need someone to stand up first, you can Lead the team forward, I think that person is you! "

"You started recovery training in May, which is earlier than others. Your condition is also the best for recovery. This is why I chose you. I think you can take this responsibility. You Do n’t worry about it, as long as it ’s the right choice you think you ’re going to try. ”

Li Dai said, looking at Wood with a trusted eye.

Wood immediately felt very moved, he did not expect Li Dai to trust himself so much. The role of the scepter of authority also made Wood feel that Li Dai's words were as correct as the decree.

"Coach, I will work hard." Wood said straightly.

Seeing the players stepping onto the field, Li Dai tightened his face and concealed his embarrassed expression. He even secretly said in his heart: "Finally, this sign was fooled!

...

Wood stood on the court, looking at the audience.

The regular season is a bit strange to him. Due to continuous injuries, he has played less than thirty games in recent seasons. He has even forgotten the feeling of the regular season.

The player standing opposite him was staring at him staring at him, the Trail Blazers player named Damid, is the core of the Trail Blazers, and one of the double shots of the Trail Blazers. He won the best rookie in the rookie season, was selected to the All-Star three times, and once was selected to the best team for a while.

In fact, in terms of age, Wood is only two years older than Damid, but Wood entered the NBA earlier. When Wood won the regular season MVP, Damid was just a rookie who just entered the NBA. Now, the rookie of the year has become the top guard in the league, and Wood, the youngest regular season MVP in history, has become a disabled veteran with no more scenery.

Wood is the same height as Damid, at 6 feet 3 inches, and weighs about the same, one 192 pounds and one 193 pounds. In terms of achievements, Wood and Damid are similar. They are all three-time All-Stars. They are the best team for a while. Even both have won the All-Star Skills Championship. The only difference between the two is a regular season MVP.

Wood knows that his opponent is very difficult to match. His average data per game is similar to his peak. He doesn't know whether he can cope with the challenge of this rising star.

The opposite Damid looked at Wood with a provocative look.

In the NBA's culture, there is never a lack of provocation, especially for the younger generations. It is quite normal to provoke the older generations. Some older generations even want their younger generations to provoke themselves. Then they can bully and bully the rookie and rub the younger generation on the ground.

But today, Damid obviously wanted to rub Wood's predecessor hard against the ground.

As an All-Star defender, Damid never feels worse than others, but when people talk about backcourt players in the NBA, he will not regard him as the top presence. Especially when compared with the defenders of several strong teams in the West, Damid became the last player.

In the Western Conference, the Rockets 'guard has won the regular season MVP, the Thunder's guard has won the regular season MVP, and the Warriors' defender has been elected to the regular season MVP twice. The defender's statistics, the Blazers' record where he is also very good, but never took the regular season MVP, as if he was constantly telling Damid: "In the west, you are a brother!"

With a grudge against MVP, Damid met Wood, and the Wood in front of him was the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history. For this reason, Damid also wanted to beat Wood.

Damid wants to prove to the world that he is much better than those regular season MVPs!

...

This is the first game of the new season, and neither side seems to have entered the game. This can be seen from the defensive attitude and tactical position.

It's normal for the Clippers to enter the state of the game slowly. After all, there are some comeback players on the team. They have not participated in the official game for a year or two. They need time to recover and adapt.

The Blazers are simply because the beginning of the new season, the players are still in the "vacation syndrome" state.

The defensive strength of the game is not counted, the two sides played back and forth, but at the end of the first quarter, the Clippers fell behind by 10 points.

Trail Blazers Damid made 3 of 5 3-pointers, plus two free throws, he scored 11 points alone.

Damid is a strong scoring player. His shots are accurate, especially the three-pointer. He feels extremely soft, and his shooting percentage can reach more than 37%. His offense is also very dependent on three-pointers. He Half of the shots are outside the three-point line. It is not an exaggeration for a player like him to score a dozen points in a game.

In terms of the Clippers, Wood can also shoot three-pointers, but his three-point ability is much worse than that of Damid. His best offensive method is to break the ball to the basket and score against the defensive player. And this scoring method is also called "knee killer". Historically, no player who uses this method to score has a good knee.

It is also because of this type of attack that Wood will have a "50 or 60 years old" knee.

Now with the help of Li Dai, Wood's knees have returned to his state. He has explosive power and speed. He has started to use the kind of breakthrough and throwing to score.

It's still a beautiful continuous change of direction ~ www.readwn.com ~ Sudden start and emergency stop, powerful explosive force, then a rapid breakthrough and elegant throwing layup, Wood's signature offense can allow opponents The defense line has become patchy. If there is no one to attack or assist in defense, it is difficult to prevent Wood's attack with one defense.

It's just that the shooting rate of the final toss is a bit terrible, and 1 of 7 shots makes Wood's face unbearable. You know that his shooting percentage after the breakthrough was close to 50%, and it does not include foul free throws. If he counts 7 free throws per game, he uses this way to attack the true shooting rate. It is close to 70%.

...

"Our hit rate is a bit bad." Assistant coach Kassel said worriedly.

"I know." Li Dai nodded. "Wood still needs time to find the feel. But I believe that the feel will come back soon."

Li Dai turned his head and looked at Kassel with an anxious expression, then said: "Wood was the regular season MVP. As long as he was given enough opportunities, he would soon be able to return to his previous state. And I It has always been a belief that actual combat is the best teacher for athletes! "
