The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 154 154

"Remember, no matter how Brandon's hands feel in the second half, don't double-team him unless necessary."

"Once he gets the ball open for the rest of the Blazers, it's really against us."

"And in the second half, the opponent is likely to make some adjustments to the lineup and style of play, so you will need to adapt yourself on the field."

"However, one thing that will not change is that in the second half, as long as the defender you face is Steve or Sergio, then you can attack these two as much as you want."

"You did a very good job in the first half, and I hope you can maintain this aggressiveness in the second half and defend our victory at home."

During the intermission, Stan Van Gundy also repeatedly emphasized to the players.

After all, this game is very important to Van Gundy. Originally, because of the last incident, he took all the responsibilities on himself, which made the management slightly dissatisfied with him.

If Van Gundy can't lead the Magic to complete the rebound in the next situation where the Magic has a neat lineup, then I'm afraid his coaching position can be said to be in jeopardy.

The NBA is such a semi-fair stage where opportunities and dangers coexist.

No matter what kind of contribution a person has made to the team before, once he can't continue to lead the team out of the quagmire, then his final end can only be to leave the field sadly.

It is this seemingly cruel fact that makes those in the NBA who can end their entire careers with one team look even greater.

"By the way, there is Dwight in the end. I am afraid that Greg's playing time will also be restricted in the second half."

"This also means that Joel (Purzbila) will be the main insider for the Blazers in the second half with a high probability."

"So after you go back in the second half, you can also make appropriate adjustments on the offensive end. Of course, the inside line is not our main tactic in this game, so I hope you can still focus more on defense."

During this period, Howard is definitely the well-deserved star of the Magic. Therefore, when there are some on-the-spot tactics that are not based on Howard as the absolute axis, Van Gundy will communicate with Howard in a half-arranged and half-discussed tone.

Otherwise, although Howard will not force Van Gundy to go on strike, but if he is passive and sabotage on the court, it will definitely be enough for Van Gundy to drink a pot.

This kind of tactical change can also be regarded as the best targeting of different teams. From the perspective of the coach, this is definitely the best arrangement.

However, the coach's idea is always an idea. Once he really wants to practice these tactics, then reconciling the relationship between himself and the stars is definitely an indispensable homework for the head coach.

This is also the fundamental reason why there are disagreements between coaches and stars in the NBA every year that eventually lead to the dismissal of coaches.

At the same time, it is also the main reason why college league coaches are rarely willing to come to the NBA to coach.

In the college league, the coach can be said to be the well-deserved boss. He can do what he says, and he will not take less salary at all.

But in the NBA league, it is not enough for the coach to have a ghost-like tactical concept. The most important thing is to reconcile the relationship with the stars.

I am afraid that Tai Lunlu of later generations will definitely do it very well.

Um? !What? !tactics? ?relation? ?

Why is it so troublesome to be a head coach? !

Isn't it just to give the ball to James? ! !

After returning from the second half, McMillan really made some adjustments to the Blazers' lineup.

Blake, who originally started in the first half, was transferred back to the bench after returning in the second half.

And while Blake was not on the court, McMillan did not use Rodriguez, another point guard on the bench.

Instead, he mentioned Lightning Fernandez to the starting lineup in the second half, so that the Trail Blazers' point guard in the second half became Brandon Roy instead! !

Throughout the first half, whether it was Blake or Rodriguez, both of them were beaten by Su Jiu on the offensive end one after another, which also made McMillan very distressed.

So after returning from the second half, McMillan also made a risky move, letting Roy, who has good organizational skills, take the No. [-] position, and at the same time mentioned Rudy Fernandez to the starting lineup.

While enhancing the defensive ability in disguise, it also increased the offensive ability on the field.

As for the intangible weakening of the substitute lineup, there is no other way.

After all, you can't have both, and since McMillan has made this adjustment, he must be very aware of the consequences.

Seeing the employment of the Blazers, Stan Van Gundy couldn't help frowning off the court.

Although it is said that the head coaches of all parties belong to different genres, they remain the same after all.

So looking at the trend of the game in the first half, Van Gundy already thought that McMillan would definitely make some adjustments in the second half.

But Van Gundy never expected that McMillan chose to use Roy as a guest point guard, posing a lineup that strictly speaking did not have a point guard.

"Don't worry, Brandon is 1.9 meters eight and weighs 96 kilograms. Although this is a very standard No. 2 body shape, don't forget that Su will not suffer physically when defending him."

"So don't worry, let's take a look at the situation on the court first, and then see if we need to make some adjustments."

Seeing his old friend Van Gundy standing on the sidelines frowning, assistant coach Mundy also spoke to him immediately.

As Mundy said, Roy may have a height and weight advantage when facing most point guards when he plays the point guard as a guest, but it just so happens that Su Jiu is a player with an unusually strong body for the point guard.

With a height of 1.9 meters four and a weight of 90 kilograms, Roy does not have too prominent advantages physically.

So compared to the troubles on the defensive end, the real trouble is that Su Jiu can't have the crushing advantage when facing Roy like he did when facing Blake.

"I hope so. To be honest, I never thought that this guy Mike would put Brandon in the first position in the second half."

"I just don't know whether he has nothing to do, or he has been hiding such a trick all the time. This is what worries me the most."

Hearing what his old friend Monty said, Van Gundy also frowned and nodded.

But judging from the tangled expression on his face, it is obvious that Van Gundy's heart is not so peaceful at the moment...
