NBA Tyrant

On December 30, Orlando, the Magic had two days off after playing all of their December games on the 29th.

After today's daily team practice, Howard deliberately stayed behind and waited for Johnny in the office of head coach Johnny with the new assistant coach Bouzdrick.

General Manager Wiesbrod had just called Johnny away, and Howard didn't know what was going on.

Originally, the three of them had made an appointment to arrange a reception banquet for Coach Bouzderrick after the team's training, and by the way, they would talk about the construction of the team's defensive system.

"Coach Bouzdrick, do you think I'm going to improve as an inside big center, both offensive and defensive?"

In order to avoid the embarrassment of being too quiet, Howard could only take the lead in finding a topic to talk about.

"You, Howard, don't be kidding, I suspect you're going to be the number one in the league no matter how much you improve!"

"Hahaha... No, I still have a lot to improve, especially how to save my fitness, and how to score with the least amount of effort

in the game, and defense, I feel very uncomfortable defending against a short and heavy center, and every time I feel like I can't stand up in the next handicap.

Howard also knew that Bouzdrick was joking, but he did feel that there was still a lot to be said about himself.

"

I didn't expect Howard to have such high requirements for yourself, you are only 19 years old, you still have plenty of time to grow, others at this time think about Lao Tzu is the first in the world, what to play

happily,." You're thinking about how to make yourself better, really, compared to those who are proud of the sky, you're really different, you have maturity and self-motivation much higher than your age, which is rare.

At this time, Buzdrick couldn't help but think of the Tianjiao in Denver, and when the two were compared, he only shook his head in his heart.

[Aha, this... Actually, what you said is right, I am the soul of my 30s! I am not a 19-year-old boy, if I want to be a happy boy like

the original Howard, then I will probably be the same as the original Howard until I retire, there is no honor worth taking, and I have to hug James's thigh to get a championship ring

Especially at the end of my career, I started to wander in various teams, and even encountered a situation where I had no ball to play, wasting my talent and time in vain, and I really fell to this point, I can't bear it.

"Thanks for the compliment, Coach Bouzdrick, I heard that you and Coach Johnny live in ......

" "I've kept you waiting, let's go, let's go to my restaurant for dinner together, I've already booked a spot."

Before Howard's words were finished, Johnny, who walked in in a hurry, took a scarf and directly beckoned Howard and the two to go together.

Howard shrugged and motioned for Coach Bouzderrick to go first and himself behind.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them sat down, Howard looked around, Johnny's restaurant was quite luxuriously decorated, with dark green tones, warm yellow lighting, and a little gold trim on the tablecloth, giving people a noble and elegant feeling.

"Come on, Coach Buzdrick, you order first! I'm really sorry, just now the general manager came to me and specifically asked about your arrangement, which delayed a little time.

Johnny handed the waiter's menu to Bouzdrik and apologized for the delay.

"Thank you, understandable, I don't think you need to call me Coach Bouzdrick, you can call me Jeff directly in the future, and I will rely on you to take care of me later, haha!" Coach Bouzderrick

casually ordered two dishes and handed the menu to Howard.

"Coach Jeff, the head coach and I are very supportive of you, so you can do it boldly, and I hope you can improve our Magic's defensive ability.

As he spoke, Howard handed the menu to Johnny, who took it, and with a few fingers, told the waiter to step back.

When the three of them ordered a few dishes came up, Johnny raised his glass.

"Come, tonight is specially for Coach Jeff, let's welcome Coach Jeff first! Cheers!"

Johnny picked up his wine glass, raised it high, and clinked glasses with Jeff and Howard respectively.

"Cheers!" X2

"Coach Jeff, you've watched our previous game videos and live Bucks games in the past two days, do you have any thoughts on how to build defense now?"

Howard put down his glass and looked at Coach Jeff on his right with hope on his face.

Although he only had a day or two to observe, he immediately hoped that the other party could come up with a set of plans, which was somewhat difficult for a strong man, but Howard still asked with anticipation.

It's really Howard who cares too much and wants to improve the Magic's defense, after all, Howard's goal is not just to make the playoffs.

Being able to wait so eagerly for Coach Jeff to come up with a feasible plan also shows that Howard has a very high opinion of Coach Jeff.

"It seems that Howard, you know very well that there are holes in the current defense of the Magic team, but you just don't know how to change it. Coach

Jeff took a sip of red wine and cut the steak in front of him with a knife and fork.

"To be honest, in the past two days, I expect to be able to immediately develop a defensive system that suits the Magic team, which is indeed a bit too high for me!

Coach Jeff, who had cut the steak, put down his knife and fork and looked at the two of them.

"Can I hear what you both want and think about the Magic on the defensive end?

"Of course, let me say it! What we want is a defensive system that has internal and external defense, can defend alone, and also cooperate with each other, to achieve internal and external linkage, limit and compress the opponent's offensive space

, and the most important thing is that when I am at the end of the break, I hope that the team has enough defensive ability, maintains defensive intensity, and does not be chased by the opponent or widens the difference

At present, we have Battier, Hill, Mobley on the outside single defense, the three-person single defense ability is very good, the inside line is basically supported by me alone, the general opponent crosses

the outside defense, I will help to assist the defense and make up the defense, our defense seems to be fine, but I feel that there is not much interaction between the outside line and the inside defense, we should be able to do better

, especially when I am not there, the team will always lead the score, and then be easily chased close to the point difference or expand the point difference. Knowing

that Johnny wasn't good at defense, Howard took Coach Jeff's words and talked about his thoughts and the team's main problems on the defensive end at the moment.

Just like Coach Jeff considered, you have to give a direction and requirements, otherwise you don't say anything, and let Coach Jeff blindly mess with it himself, and then the result is contrary to hope, it will really be a waste of everyone's time.

Johnny on the side smiled at Coach Jeff and nodded in agreement with what Howard said, and he didn't mean to open his mouth at all.

Coach Jeff nodded, seeing Johnny who was silent as the head coach, remembering Johnny's promise not to interfere in defense before, and now he completely believed Johnny's words in his heart.

[It seems that in the defensive part, Johnny really doesn't have any intention of interfering.]

"Howard, can you tell me about the defensive ideas you have in mind?"

"The defensive pressure we really face is mainly the tactics of blocking and dismantling and running without the ball, and I am confident that our Magic team has been doing a good job in single defense, so I have thought of a defensive tactic

, which is 'infinite defense', no matter how the opponent blocks and covers, how to run, as long as it is misplaced, immediately change the defense, always ensure that there are players in the front defense, do not give the opponent a chance to vacate." Seeing

that Coach Jeff wanted to know what he thought, Howard said what he thought in his heart, which is also the defensive strategy that Coach Jeff tailored for the Rockets in the future.

"Hmm... Howard, with all due respect, I don't think your idea is very realistic.

Howard's eyes widened in disbelief, not expecting that his proposed infinite change would be described as unrealistic by Coach Jeff.

"Coach Jeff, make no mistake! I'm proposing this based on the defensive system you've built for the Rockets in the future!"

"Coach Jeff, why is it unrealistic?" Howard couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.

"Howard, inside and outside blocking and dismantling is the easiest to form a dislocation, you want a small guard to go inside to defend a big inside

? Do you think that with the height and strength of a guard can prevent the strong killing of an interior player who is a magnitude or even larger

? Especially in the face of O'Neal, Da Yao, the misplaced defense you said is no different from direct points in my opinion, what do you think?".

Hearing Coach Jeff's analysis, Howard lowered his head slightly and thought about it carefully.

[It seems that there is nothing wrong, if it really becomes a small person with strong scoring ability and strong strength, then if the other party wants to score, it is simply easy and pleasant

, it is now 04 years, most of the league's inside, the scoring range is basically still in the restricted area

, but it is not the next 10 years later, a bunch of big men are soft to shoot three-pointers outside the three-point line, the current league, physical strength, strength confrontation or the main theme of the inside line,

For infinite change of defense, different eras, it really doesn't necessarily apply, it's me who takes it for granted.

"Coach Jeff, I owe it to me, you're right, haha, I really want to know your idea, I wonder what you think about our Magic team's defense now?"

Seeing that Coach Jeff didn't blindly cater to himself and had his own independent thinking ability in his own professional field, Howard couldn't help but think a little higher about Coach Jeff again.

I'm also looking forward to what Coach Jeff is about to say about the Magic's defense.

"I have just listened to your request, and I now have a preliminary idea, one from point to point, which I call the triangle area blockade defense!

Give me one night, I will enrich the content, and tomorrow I will give you the specific tactical cooperation in writing, and by the way, I will explain it carefully. Coach

Jeff didn't rush to say the rough thoughts that came to mind in the past two days, but planned to tell Howard and Johnny after he had a complete plan.

Coach Jeff feels that only by stating the complete defensive tactics and system in detail can he get more respect and voice in the team.

Rather than just saying a simple idea, which is easy for the person who hears it not to pay much attention, and having a complete idea to a specific and detailed implementation plan, the two can give a completely different impression.

"Okay, then we'll have a good meal tonight!" On

December 31, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Howard started to warm up in the arena early, and last night Howard fell asleep with anticipation and excitement.

As for Coach Jeff's triangle area blocking defense, Howard felt remarkable as soon as he heard the name.

By half-past eight, when everyone had arrived, Johnny took everyone to the conference room for a meeting and gave a brief introduction to Coach Jeff on stage.

Johnny gave the stage to Coach Jeff and asked him to explain the defensive tactics he had spent the night designing for the Magic.

"Okay, I'll start explaining it in detail, and if anyone has any doubts, you can ask them when I stop and ask if you understand.

Coach Jeff said, and began to cut into the finished picture, which is the slide, on the big screen in the conference room.

"I call my defensive system the 'triangle blockade defense,' and based on my research, the games ahead of our Magic team ......

This system is divided into several defensive strategies, the first is that when the opponent has a strong offensive point with the ball on the outside, the focus of the defense is to compress the space of the ball carrier

, force him to move towards the defensive trap we set, and cut off his connection with others...... Second, when the opponent focuses on team tactics and uses tactics such as blocking and running without the ball, we ......

Third, the opponent has a strong point of interior attack...... When we are single-defense, we are like this... Multi-person joint defense we ...... like this"

Howard sat quietly down, listening to Coach Jeff's defensive tactical arrangement, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and Coach Jeff's defensive system made Howard feel pleasantly surprised.

Coach Jeff has carefully analyzed and formulated strategies for almost all kinds of offensive tactics on how to defend, including those for the outside, the inside, and how to defend against group offense.

Howard has always been haunted by the previous crushing defeat to the Suns, a sharp team offensive team with a strong brain.

Now with the defensive system created by Coach Jeff, Howard's confidence in playing against the Suns again and winning has increased by 10,000 times.

[If according to Coach Jeff's system, when we successfully build a defense, then against the Suns, Spurs, and other team-oriented teams

, our Magic team will definitely increase a lot of chances of winning, and it will also play more methodically, more easily, and even if possible, the first place in the league, our Magic team may get it back!]

"Okay, this is mine" Triangle blockade defense', if there is anything you don't understand, you can just bring it up!"

"......"

No one in the audience answered, Howard looked left and right, and after a while, seeing that no one really asked, he raised his hands.

"Okay, Coach Jeff, this 'triangle blockade defense system' of yours is awesome! I can't wait to train the defense according to your tactics now, brothers, are you too?"

Howard's face was excited, and the tall figure stood up to show his support for Jeff.

"Haha, so are

we!" "Sounds really great, I'd love to try

it!" "I feel like we're going to be strong!" "I

know a lot about defense..."

Coach Johnny and the general manager sat at the back, and the two smiled slightly at each other with satisfaction when they saw the players all agree with Coach Jeff's defensive tactical system.
