Almighty Coach

Li Dai ended the meeting awkwardly.

If he is a professional basketball coach with high tactical qualities, he may also be able to reason with his coaching staff, and then show his expertise, persuade his team, and brainwash the team members. The coach is so good!

But his understanding of basketball tactics is far inferior to his assistant coach, so he can only be cheeky and silly.

Anyway, he was the head coach, and everyone else followed him to eat mixed meals. Li Daitie was so desperate that he was begging and begging for Bai Lai.

However, Li Dai still found Raymond after the meeting. The two-time scoring champion has not yet returned to the peak level. The average 12 points per game is barely a qualified starter. There is still a big gap between the superstars of that year.

Li Dai expects Raymond to recover as soon as possible. The Clippers play star ball. Since the Big Three are not enough, then join a Big Four!

...

"How are you feeling recently? Shouldn't your back injury relapse?" Li Dai came to Raymond with a smile.

"No, the back feels great. Since I came to Los Angeles, I haven't had any pain!" Raymond replied.

"Waist? Does it hurt?" Li Dai continued to ask.

Raymond shook his head: "There is no problem with the waist. I played four games last week and I didn't feel any back pain."

"What about the knee?" Li Dai asked.

Raymond patted his knees: "The knee is also very good, I only felt this kind of knee in the rookie season!"

"Wrists? Ankles? Ligaments? Are there any problems?" Li Dai asked again.

"Both are great." Teacher Raymond replied.

"That's good." Li Dai nodded. It seems that the effect of the athlete's patch is very good. All the old injuries on Raymond's body have been repaired by the athlete's patch.

However, the opposite Raymond suddenly asked: "Coach Li, did I disappoint you?"

"Why do you say that?" Li Dai showed a surprised expression.

"Wood was so seriously injured, Hall removed his knee meniscus, but they all returned to their previous peak state, but I can't. Although my body feels great, I can't be like when I was younger. Playing. I guess you will be very disappointed. "Raymond said in a low voice.

"How could it be! You can return to the field, it is a very happy thing." Li Dai's face with a smile of comfort.

However, Li Dai did have some small disappointments with Raymond. Among the stars recruited by the Clippers this season, Raymond is the most famous, strongest and oldest superstar, but so far he has not played a satisfactory result for Li Dai.

Raymond also knew that Li Dai was comforting himself. He sighed a long way: "It seems that I am still old! If I were a few years younger, with such a great physical condition, I can get 50 or 60 in a game. Minute."

Raymond's words reminded Li Dai. Li Dai suddenly discovered that he had ignored Raymond's age problem.

Raymond is also a "Thirty-Year Old Man" anyway, and in the second half of his career, he has been troubled by injuries and has been in a state of stop, stop, stop, and often fails to play. It is difficult to guarantee his competition. level.

If it is the kind of player who is struggling on the first line, even if it is not a starter, as long as he enters the rotation, there is a certain amount of playing time to ensure that the body is always in a state of preparation. Even a 35-year-old player can still have outstanding performance.

Some players are very good at taking care of their bodies, spending a lot of money on their bodies every year, plus a strict self-discipline life, and occasionally playing a few health basketball, playing forty years is not a problem.

"I should use another age reduction card for Raymond. There are five months left in the regular season, plus two months of playoffs. There are seven months left in this season. If you use the age reduction card, Raymond You can reduce the age of six years old to 28 years old. "Li Dai thought to himself.

For a basketball player, although the 28-year-old body is not as explosive as the twenty-four or five-year-old, it is definitely the peak age. Although this age will not be able to fly from time to time like a young man in his early twenties However, physical confrontation is excellent, and it does not affect players to make some difficult technical moves.

...

The five-game losing Clippers flew to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

The Rockets are currently ranked first in the West, this ranking is enough to prove the extraordinary strength of the Rockets. And the Rockets have already scored an eight-game winning streak at home.

In the face of the Rockets, it is normal for any team to lose. With the Clippers' current strength, it is necessary to lose to the Rockets.

The Clippers play star ball. This type of team is not afraid of heads-up with its opponents, but it is afraid of encountering that kind of systematic team, especially the systematic team with superstars. As a superstar, singles are inherently undefensible. If they are integrated into a complete tactical system, they will become even more powerful.

Li Dai also feels that it is difficult for the Clippers to beat the Rockets. Unless they have a high feel and opponents have a bad feel, the Clippers can beat the Rockets, but this kind of thing depends on luck.

Li Dai also used the bid box before the game, but only got a winning lot. In the case of a gap in strength between the two sides, the arrangement of a winning lot obviously cannot win the Rockets.

So Li Dai used the title of "evenly matched" before the game. His idea is very simple. Anyway, this ball is difficult to win. Instead, it is better to rely on the effect of evenly matched. If you can play a few overtime with the Rockets, the Clippers said There may be an opportunity to fish in muddy water.

On the defensive side, both teams have a strategy of unlimited defense. The Rockets' center is very fast, and the Clippers' center Gray is faster than the Rockets' center. Both of them did not lose when they changed defense. It's just that the NBA has developed to the present day, and the defensive style of play has been eliminated by the times. It is not ten years ago. Nowadays, no team can win the game by defense. The key is to watch the team's offense.

The Clippers' offense mainly depends on the star's personal ability. Star players have enough offensive means, and there will always be a way to put the ball into the basket.

The Rockets' offense is concentrated in the penalty area and outside the three-point line. They have almost no shots, either throwing outside the three-point line, or rushing to the inside to score.

"The Rockets' style of play is also a trend in basketball development!" Li Dai sighed a long time, and then said: "The Rockets' inner line is not strong, the Rockets' center's individual singles ability is very weak, and there is no even low-level offensive skills. He is also not the kind of devil muscleman, he can get the rebound and use the second attack to score. His scoring is mainly based on others ’feeding after the empty cut, but the Rockets have not scored a lot in the penalty area."

Li Dai said, pointing to the three-point line, and then said: "The three-pointer gives the attacker in the penalty area more space. The essence of basketball is actually a movement in which the time difference and the space difference are exchanged between the offense and defense. If there is no three-pointer that can deter the opponent, the opponent ’s defense will shrink, and the space in the penalty area will become smaller. If the three-pointer is good enough, the opponent must expand the scope of defense and the space in the penalty area will also become larger. In this way, no matter the outside player's counter-run or the inside player's empty cut, they will create a chance to score. "

"What you said makes sense." Assistant coach Kassel looked at Li Dai with some surprise. Li Dai's layman's progress gave Kassel a sense of surprise.

"Do n’t look at me with that kind of look. This view was not made by me. I also learned from others. My country has a 70-year-old man who was a basketball player when he was young, and later became a basketball coach. Now, it is mainly basketball commentary. He always said that playing must be reasonable. This three-point tactic is a very reasonable play in his mouth. "Li Dai then explained.

Kassel nodded, then pointed to the live scoreboard: "Compared to this, I admire more, in this case, you can even talk about these with a smile."

The game has entered the fourth quarter, but the scores of the two sides are very tight, and the gap between the scores is always hovering within three or five points.

In this case, the process is naturally very intense, and the atmosphere on the scene also seems quite passionate. The auditorium seems to be a dynamite barrel, as long as the home team has a beautiful goal, it will be ignited and then explode.

On the Rockets' bench, the coaching staff and the bench players are no longer able to sit up, and they have stood up one after another, and the head coach even started to personally direct the game. On the Clippers side, the players are very excited, but Li Dai, the head coach, looks like he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Anyway, the term "evenly matched" is used, and the result is destiny!

...

At the end of the 48-minute regular game time, the two sides scored a draw of 105 to 105. They were tied at home by their opponents. This is not the result the Rockets hope to see.

But this is the result that Li Dai hopes to see. The Clippers after a five-game losing streak needs a good news to rejuvenate, and the first Western Conference to reach overtime, also barely be a dose of cardiotonics to stop the decline.

Overtime relies on star players. In just five minutes, if there is a star who can stand up and take the responsibility of scoring, then overtime will be much easier to play. In overtime, the star ’s The effect is much greater, so in overtime, it can basically be said to be the stage of the stars.

The Rockets are not short of stars. Their big beard is the current NBA's "first quarterback" and even the regular season MVP. If you pick the five strongest players among NBA active players, there is definitely his place.

Although the Clippers also have stars, they are a bit weaker than the bearded MVP.

However, Li Dai had another idea. His eyes looked at Raymond.

"This may be an opportunity for Raymond." Li Dai called Raymond near.

"Overtime, you come to attack." Li Dai commanded.

Raymond froze for a moment. He didn't expect Li Dai to have such a choice.

In the Clippers, Wood and Hall both have the ability to end the game. Wood used to be a regular season MVP. He has contributed a lot of lore. Hall is also famous for his stability. He has a big heart, even in the playoffs. In the past, there was also a 0.8 second lore performance. It stands to reason that they should be the core of overtime. And Raymond hasn't recovered the state of his peak when he was young.

"Why me?" Raymond asked subconsciously.

"Because there is a league 'first point guard' opposite." Li Dai patted Raymond on the shoulder, and then said: "I think only the first point guard can deal with the first point guard!"

Raymond's expression was slightly stunned. The term "first quarterback" was familiar to him, but a little strange.

At the peak, Raymond was the first point guard in the NBA!

At the same time, Li Dai used an age-reducing card for Raymond, which instantly made Raymond's body six years younger.

"Go, you shouldn't want to lose to your juniors!" Li Dai pushed Raymond onto the court, and then glanced at the big beard on the opposite Rockets.

"Who is stronger, the first point guard ten years ago and the current first point guard? This really makes me look forward to!"

...

When Raymond stood on the court, his mind was still blank.

He is no stranger to the Rockets opposite. Raymond has played for the Rockets for many seasons. After retiring, he also settled in Houston. On weekdays, he often went to the Toyota Center to watch the Rockets home game. I even go to the Rockets training base and practice with the players for the morning.

As a player of honor for the Rockets, Raymond has such privileges. As a result, Raymond is familiar with the Rockets coaching staff and players.

Raymond knows that the bearded person on the opposite side is a very powerful existence, saying that he is the active first quarterback and Raymond also recognizes it. Raymond even had a judgment in his mind. Bearded's scoring ability is not weaker than himself at the peak of the year. Perhaps it is better than touching porcelain.

The next second, the ball came out and then reached Raymond. The Clippers players firmly implemented Li Dai's plan and gave the shot to Raymond.

Bearded came to guard immediately, he was very close to Raymond, apparently did not intend to let Raymond throw a three-pointer.

"Try to break through." Raymond instinctively made a judgment, and then started to break through with the ball.

At this instant, Raymond suddenly felt that his body became a lot lighter, and even his feet became more sensitive.

Raymond was slightly taken aback, but his long legs stepped away and reached the penalty area in a blink of an eye.

Bearded's defense outside the penalty area is still not trustworthy, and was even hailed as an eye defense.

However, when the two sides had physical contact in the penalty area, the defense of the Beard was obviously raised to a higher level. His strong body and excellent lower limb strength made him able to defeat his opponent in physical confrontation.

At the same time, the Rockets' defense came up.

The Rockets' center and power forward are not very tall, but their pace is very fast. They can change defenses, so the Rockets can use unlimited tactics. So the speed of their defense is first-rate in the NBA.

There was a chase after the interception. Although Raymond broke into the penalty area, the Rockets' defense pocket has begun to shrink.

At this moment, Raymond chose to take off and attacked the basket directly.

In the face of the Rockets players who came to supplement the defense, Raymond flew in the air and directly took a lever action to hide. At the same time, his body flew to the other side of the basket by the inertia of the jump, followed by an air turn , Arms raised slightly with his back to the basket, an anti-layup, directly throw the ball into the basket.

"Oh!" The audience cried out in amazement. This was a very beautiful layup. The whole set of moves was enough to enter today's top five goals.

"Now Raymond can still make such a move!" The on-site commentator could not help but exclaim.

If you are a young man in his twenties, it is not surprising that he has such a performance. But at this age of Raymond, he can still have such a bounce, such an air control, and such control and reaction ability. It is indeed a snack. Startled.

Even Raymond himself did not expect that such a technical action could be made.

This purely technical super-difficult layup is a very important way of scoring when Raymond was young. He is not the kind of player who likes to rush to the basket and touch the porcelain. On the contrary, he prefers to use the technology to score the ball in the defense of the opponents and the high-intensity physical confrontation.

Perhaps it was for this reason that he was wounded. After all, fighting with inside players is a very hurtful behavior.

"The ball just now was like the feeling a few years ago." Raymond thought to himself.

After the Clippers scored, the Rockets did not want to be outdone. The Bearded MVP threw a three-pointer directly in two steps outside the three-point line. Immediately afterwards, the Clippers attacked and the ball passed to Raymond.

This time, the opponent worried that Raymond would break through again, so the defensive position should be relatively late, which obviously blocked Raymond's breakthrough route.

"The body is still so relaxed, it feels like I am several years younger!" Raymond lucked the ball a few times and found that there was no way to easily break through, but he had found a familiar shooting rhythm, so he stopped sharply, three Dry jumper outside the line.

Raymond's dry pull jumper can be said to be his must-have stunt. His dry pull jumper is elegant and graceful, with a trace of calmness, giving people a feeling that the part will not, but leisurely, anyone looks at his Dry pull jumpers will be considered a kind of enjoyment, and the deepest heart will definitely produce the most heartfelt appreciation of jumper technology.

His dry pull jumper is not simply based on technology, but also requires good physical support. This dry pull jumper requires the shooter to kick the ground, knee strength, and arm movements all combined, and Need to shoot. This has a high shot point in the jump shot, a long air control, and sometimes requires a long back and a high degree of persistence.

If it was him before, although he can still pull out, but the pull-up jumper is not perfect, because his body can't do that level, but now, after the transformation of the age reduction card, his body Zizi was six years younger, and the dry pull jumper that housekeeping skills back then became perfect again.

"Swoosh!"

In the early sky of basketball, draw a flat arc and then enter the basket.

"What a beautiful dry pull jumper!"

"What a handsome action!"

"Raymond's signature style is simply art!"

This time, even Li Dai couldn't help but stood up and applauded Raymond.

Raymond looked at his hands subconsciously. He recalled the pull-up jumper just now, and his heart was full of surprises: "My body has become better!"

...

"This old guy, why is it so powerful!" The bearded MVP stared at the opposite Raymond, and the confusion in his eyes flashed through.

Raymond made four consecutive shots, all dry jumpers outside the three-point line. It's not an exaggeration to look at this stat alone. After all, in this era where three-pointers dominate, high-shooters are endless, and consecutive three-pointers have become a matter of course.

However, Raymond's dry pull jumper is rarely encountered by the bearded MVP. In the current NBA, few players score like this.

This dry pull jumper is very sudden, coupled with the air control time and the high drift of the body, it is almost impossible to be covered, and even it is difficult to interfere with his shooting.

And this dry pull jumper always shoots at a high point. If the defender throws too much forward, it is easy to cause a three-pointer foul or get a three plus one.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a three-pointer is the most difficult for the defender to cope with. If the defensive action is small, it will not interfere with the opponent's shot; if the defensive action is large, it is easy to foul.

In comparison, the kind of ultra-long-range three-pointers that are several meters away from the three-point line, although very imposing, at most let the opponent get a three-pointer. Anyway, there is no four-point line in the NBA, even in the backcourt. It was only three points after being thrown in. This kind of three-point drawing by Raymond, if the defense is not good, a foul must be paid. The worst case is that a foul must be paid and the opponent should be scored by four points, which can be more serious than two turnovers.

More importantly, this dry pull jumper is so handsome! When the bearded MVP is defending, he can't help but stop trying to admire Raymond's dry pull-up jumper, and then make an amazing sound.

Some of the audience at the scene are indeed doing so. When Raymond pulls a jumper ~ www.readwn.com ~ there will be a strange exclamation in the auditorium, as if riding a roller coaster to the top, just beginning to slide, and when the ball is in, it is another relief. The voice of someone even cheered for scoring a goal.

This is the Toyota Center, the home of the Rockets. Some people cheered for the away team's goal.

However, it is because this is the Toyota Center that fans will cheer for Raymond. Raymond used to be the Rockets' top star. If he doesn't come back, he will probably retire his jersey to the Rockets. He still has a fan base here. When that kind of signature pull-up jumper reappears, it is not difficult to get cheers and support from the old fans.

...

On the bench of the Clippers, Li Dai looked at the stadium, and then looked at the audience's reaction, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Coach, Raymond suddenly changed his mind in overtime. This pull-up jumper is perfect!" Assistant coach Kassel also praised.

"Remember what I said before the meeting? Our star is not enough." Li Dai pointed to Raymond on the field, and then said: "But now we have the fourth giant!"
