Almighty Coach

The conversation between Li Dai and Gray is over.

Li Dai feels that since Gray knows where his shortcomings are, there is no need to intervene too much. Players who can play in the NBA are not fools, they should know how to redirect their shortcomings.

For Gray, this foul problem is like a threshold, like the so-called rookie wall in the NBA, as long as he can successfully pass this threshold, it is like a carp leaping dragon gate, a dragon out of the sea.

As for whether they can successfully cross this threshold in the end, it depends on Gray's own perception.

There is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and there is a special phenomenon in the NBA, that is, the better the body, the easier it is to foul. If you look at the NBA's foul average per game, the top ten are definitely some guys with physical talents. Those players who can't run fast or jump high are not easy to foul.

As Li Dai analyzed, this group of devil muscle men can run and jump. When defending, they always feel that they can defeat the enemy in one blow. Originally, it only took a little interference to allow the opponent's offense to hit the wall. They had to completely prevent the opponent from dying, so there would always be a relatively large defensive action, and the number of fouls would increase accordingly.

Although Gray has played in the NBA for several seasons, due to injury, he has only played more than 100 games. In fact, he can only be regarded as a high-end rookie, and it is impossible to get a "star whistle" from the referee. In many cases, the kind of ambiguous foul, or may or may not be blown, the referee will not give him a face, directly punish him for a foul. If Gray becomes an All-Star one day, the referee will be more lenient when he fouls.

In fact, the foul issue is a must-have for every insider. Looking at the excellent insiders in the league, whether active or retired, if there are not a few six offenses per season, it ’s embarrassing Call yourself an insider.

...

In the next game, the Clippers came to Oracle Stadium in Oakland to challenge the defending champion Warriors.

The Warriors are currently the strongest team in the league, and they belong to the Pacific Division alongside the Clippers.

According to the NBA's schedule rules, teams in the same zone must play four games a season. Under this system, once a particularly strong team appears in its own area, it is not good news for the other four teams in this area.

For example, in the Pacific Division, the Warriors are super strong. The other four teams, the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Suns, are not opponents of the Warriors. As long as the Warriors play hard, do n’t let the water go, the other four teams must get four games. Defeat. By the end of the season, when the record was counted, there were a few more negative matches than any other team. In the fiercely competitive West, the 0.5 game difference will result in a difference of two or three. If you lose one or two more games, it will directly affect whether you can enter the playoffs.

At the Oracle Stadium, the game has not yet started. On the bench, the Warriors coach Nicholas pouted, looking at the warming up Karabi on the court.

"Carabi turned out to be the second spring again, and it really made the Clippers find a big bargain! If we have this kind of player, this year's championship will be more stable." Nicholas said to himself.

This season's Karabi suddenly returned to his youthful state, which also made him a favorite player of many teams, including the No. 1 Warriors in the league. Karabi has height, bounces and moves. His blocking ability is enough to protect the team's penalty area in defense. In the offense, he has the ability to shoot and even shoot three-pointers. This is very suitable for the Warriors.

Karabi ’s only shortcoming is that he is too thin, but this is not a problem for the Warriors. The most popular small ball game in the NBA is the Warriors. In the Warriors ’tactical system, traditional positional battles There aren't many opportunities, but the traditional meat shield big man is not as easy to use as the space type inside.

Nicholas couldn't help but glance at his backup center. Although the guy is also a physical player, he is also very energetic in playing, but his brain seems to be a bit difficult to put on the court like a time bomb, maybe when I will stab myself.

As Nicholas wondered, he glanced at Li Dai on the bench of the visiting team with some red eyes. He remembered Li Dai's previous resume. When Li Dai was the head coach of the United States team, he had made many older athletes find the second spring.

"It's nice to be young!" Nicholas sighed. He didn't know whether he was talking about those athletes who had returned to their peak, or whether they were lamenting Li Dai's youth.

...

In the game between the Clippers and the Warriors, the two sides played back and forth in the first two quarters. However, in the third quarter, the Warriors seemed to have a sudden feeling. In the blink of an eye, they played a wave of 28 to 8, widening the score. It was 23 points.

The Warriors played their own characteristics. The third quarter was a wave. This is also the traditional way for the Warriors to win. The first quarter allowed the first to warm up, the second quarter let the bench warm up, the third quarter was blown up, and the fourth quarter punched out of work. . Statistically speaking, the Warriors have a +130 value in the third quarter. Today, this method is also used against the Clippers.

The Warriors' tactical system can't be cracked by so many excellent basketball coaches in the league, and even Li Dai, a half-hanging basketball coach, has no way. Faced with this situation, the only thing Li Dai can do is to use the request box to see if God can help himself.

"Sign off!" Li Dai looked at the result of asking for a sign of depression. If it is signing, this game can be reversed. Now it is just a signing, which is useless at all.

Li Dailian didn't bother to read the result of asking for a sign. He thought about it. Since he couldn't win, he decided to vote for it. It doesn't matter if you lose 82 games in a season. Moreover, the opponent is a powerful warrior, losing to the warriors is not shameful.

"Substitute!" Li Dai pointed to the "water dispenser administrators" who were not usually on the court. Several players who couldn't enter the rotation at ordinary times suddenly looked happy. They had more than one section. Time can play.

"Coach, I want to play a little longer." A voice suddenly sounded, Li Dai turned his head and looked at Gray.

"Gray actually asked to be on the court. Was the last conversation effective? His foul control today is not bad, but this is also related to the opponents being the Warriors. The Warriors players mainly rely on shooting, not too much. Hit the basket. "Li Dai nodded, similarly to Gray's request, and said at the same time:" If Gray wants the ball, give him the ball. "

...

After a dead ball, the Clippers replaced the "water dispenser manager."

"They gave up!" Nicolas smiled triumphantly on his face. He felt that the game was all under his control. Then he turned his head and signaled the bench player to warm up.

The next time the dead ball was remembered, the Warriors also replaced all of the bench. The main players and several major rotations all sat on the bench with a smile, and the three quarters punched out of work. This is the familiar rhythm of the game.

...

There is still more than one period in the game.

Gray ran to the post and asked for the ball, and then, with his skillful offense, hit the ball into the rim.

The Warriors defender was a bit stunned by this very traditional low-level offense, or was a bit unpredictable. He didn't know how to defend.

The basketball culture in the United States is becoming less and less concerned about low-level offense. There are fewer and fewer big men in the league who are good at low-level offense. The top big men with good physical fitness are few and far between. These non-rotating players are usually not exposed to this kind of talent, so they don't know how to deal with this traditional low post attack.

What's more, Gray is not a slow traditional center. His flexibility is very outstanding. He is comparable to the defender in agility and speed. This kind of height and arm length, excellent physical fitness, and the speed is not slow. The attack on one is inherently at an advantage.

After several consecutive attacks, Gray scored the ball, although the score was not drawn, but Gray has a feeling like a fish.

He likes the feeling of asking for a low post, and then one-on-one singles. Every time the ball is scored, Gray can gain a sense of accomplishment.

The Warriors really can't resist Gray, and they are too lazy to defend Gray. After all, the Warriors' offense relies on three-pointers, and they have a more than 20-point lead. They have a chance to squander.

At the end of the third quarter, the game came to the fourth quarter. The Clippers just pushed the advantage of the score to within 20 points. The Warriors made two consecutive three-pointers and opened the gap again.

The players on both sides are at the end of the bench. Compared to the Warriors, the bench is still stronger. After all, the Warriors are the champion team. It is easy to recruit stronger combat power. Some players want to hug thigh.

And the Warriors are indeed superior in tactics. The experience of several championship trophies has made the Warriors' tactical system more mature. In terms of the Clippers, Li Dai seemed to be a swaying hand, insisting on playing the "star ball" strategy, and there was no tactic at all.

When the game reached the last five minutes, the Warriors still maintained a 20-point lead, and the result of this game was basically no suspense.

However, on the bench of the Warriors, Coach Nicholas was not happy at all.

"Gray has scored 28 points and 17 rebounds." Nicholas looked at the latest statistics, he felt that if he continued to play, Gray could get a large double-double of 30 + 20.

More importantly, Nicholas could feel that Gray gradually became confident. Looking at the running Gray on the field, Nicholas seems to see that a future super center is about to be born.

Nicholas couldn't help but think of Gray's scout report when he participated in the draft. Everyone thinks that he will be the strongest center in NBA history, a presence that surpasses the four centers.

"Super center!" Nicholas flashed the fear in his eyes.

He was also a player in the NBA, and has personally experienced the era of the four centers. He knows the terrible place of the four centers. Even if he thinks about it now, he will still feel a cold back ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ Now, the era of super centers has long passed. There has been no super centers in the NBA for a long time. When the "small ball system" was born, there were no super centers in the league, so Nicholas did not know the Warriors' "five deaths." Whether the "small" can deal with the super center, but the lack of height in the "five small" lineup is an indisputable fact. Whenever the Warriors encounter that big man with both speed and height, they will always be expected by the other party.

The Gray in front of him is obviously the kind of big man who has both speed and height, and also has excellent strength and excellent offensive skills. In the face of such opponents, the only thing Nicholas can think of is multiplayer.

The game has entered the last two minutes, the Clippers have pushed the score to within 20 points, and Gray has successfully brushed out a large double pair of 30 + 20.

But this does not affect the result of the game, the Warriors can celebrate the victory in advance.

But Nicholas didn't feel the joy of victory.

"Winning a game, but the opponent came up with a super center, how could it be that we lost!" Nicholas thought maliciously.
