Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 275 [Underestimated and Overestimated]

The Lakers traded with the Raptors shortly after the start of the season, trading Luke Walton for three-point leader Jason Kapono.It's hard to say who wins this deal. Kapono's defense is helpless and he is the purest shooter; Walton's performance in the Lakers is also a mess. He only had 2006 points, 2007 rebounds, 11.4 assists and 5 steal in the 4.3-1 season. Performance.

The Lakers hope that Kapono can provide a stable three-point firepower when he comes off the bench, and the Raptors expect Walton to regain his 2007 state.

The season has just started, and the Bobcats and Lakers contend for the championship has already been raised.Looking at the lineup, the two teams are outstanding.

The Lakers have taken action, while the Bobcats choose to remain unchanged.They are in the stage of running-in the team. If they trade again, instead of improving their strength, it may have a counterproductive effect.

Speaking of trades, no team has made more trades this year than the Bobcats.In addition to Gerald - Wallace, the 2006-2007 season Bobcats all players have left the team.Last summer's cleanup needless to say, and this summer, the Bobcats sent out half of last season's players, Barnes, Gortat, Moon, Felton, Calderon and others have transferred one after another.

Such frequent transactions give people a feeling that the Bobcats' management is very ruthless and only treats players as commodities, and all players who cannot help Hayes will be traded away.

After the discussion, the Bobcats management decided not to trade players out of the team this year, but to use these 15 players to fight the world.If they want to trade, they only need the draft pick. The Bobcats' 2009 draft pick was sent to the Pistons. If they want to draft a rookie in the summer, they must trade.It doesn't matter if you don't draft, the Bobcats management is very satisfied with the existing players.These 15 people have good abilities, and they have one thing in common, they are all honest people.

The biggest characteristic of a group of honest people is that even if they have dissatisfaction, they can hold it in their hearts, and it is not easy to cause conflicts.That's why defensive giant Artest jumped out of the contract, Bobcats have no interest in him.Arenas took the initiative to come to contact, but the Bobcats ignored them. If the introduction of "stabbing" players with full of personality will increase their strength, it will also add a lot of trouble.

The lineup rotation style adopted by the Bobcats has played the role of "stick and carrot" for marginal players.If they do not perform well in training, they may lose the opportunity to play. The players work very hard in training, and the rookies work hard to improve their skills in order to enter the rotation as soon as possible.If there are a few more "thorns" in the team, it will not be so worrying.

For example, Artest, if he is allowed to play less time or take too few shots, he will probably be dissatisfied. "My strength is strong, why should I create opportunities for rookies? I have to make a move."

Coaching staff: "You must go!"

If it is a player like Artest, the above ending is likely to happen.To fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Bastards like Rodman were honest in the Bulls back then, because Jordan could hold him down.But for things like Artest and Arenas, Hayes doesn't have the confidence to hold back, nor is he interested in trying.

Recently, the US media selected the top ten "underrated players" in the active NBA, and the Bobcats occupied three seats. It can be seen that experts are more optimistic about the prospects of the Bobcats.

In the NBA, some players have good personal abilities, but because of the team record or other stars, their brilliance is overshadowed.These people are collectively referred to as "undervalued".The [-]-man roster is as follows: Shane Battier, Raymond Felton, Devin Harris, Kirk Hinrich, Tayshaun Prince, Anthony Parker, Caron Butler , Kevin Durant, Gerald Wallace, Marc Gasol.

It is not surprising that Gerald Wallace is on the list. American fans nicknamed him "Crash", which shows how brave he is.Not only can he score, but he's also one of the league's best perimeter defenders.

Durant was affectionately called "parallel imports" by fans last season, and his shooting percentage was less than 4%.But in 6 games this season, Durant averaged 34 minutes per game, 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists, shooting 48% from the field and 41% from the three-point range. hand, beyond all expectations.

Marc Gasol makes this list because he was drafted so low and played like a lottery pick.In limited playing time, he averaged 8.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.Experts believe that, if in other teams, Marc - Gasol may even be qualified to start.

And this list also includes Felton, who was traded out of the team by the Bobcats in the summer.Felton's data in the 2006-2007 season was very beautiful, and his efficiency was also very high. Experts believe that last season, his data declined only because he did not adapt to the team's tactics.Felton moved to the Pistons this season, played 35 minutes, and his data increased to 13.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 7 assists. The data is more beautiful than that of Lupus.

The Bobcats are like a gathering place for powerful role players.

The lineup of the Bobcats that people have seen is already very strong. In fact, the most underrated person in the Bobcats has not yet appeared, and that is Anthony Morrow.

Morrow's strength can already play the game. In Hayes' previous life, he started for the Warriors in his first season.It's just that Van Gundy is very dissatisfied with Morrow's defense and wants to change his bad habits.

Defense is not the same as offense.Inaccurate offensive shots are inaccurate, and it is rare to score high points even if you work hard, but the most important thing in defense is mentality.McGrady is better than Kobe's talent is recognized by the entire league.But Kobe has entered the best defensive team many times, but McGrady only showed his defensive skills when he was a blue-collar rookie season. This is the difference in mentality.

As soon as Morrow came on the court, all he could think about was how to throw the ball into the basket. He moved very aggressively on offense and was extremely resolute in his shots. But on the defensive end, he was too loose, giving people a feeling of disdain for defense. Scouts for NBA teams are not fools, and Morrow wasn't bad in college, and it was his lazy attitude that made him overlooked in the draft.

Morrow, a native of Charlotte, was honored as "Mr. Basketball" in North Carolina when he graduated from high school.In the four years of playing at Georgia Tech, Morrow began to show his strength, averaging 4 points and 11.4 rebounds per game.And his excellent shooting ability gradually came to the fore at that time. 3% - Four years in college, Morrow created a new school history record for Georgia Tech with such a free throw percentage.In addition, his total number of three-pointers made during college is also among the best in school history.

As a swingman, Morrow has excellent athletic ability and excellent court awareness, and his strong outside shooting is his trump card to help the team win.

Morrow's body is indeed relatively thin, but there is no particularly strong player in the 2nd position, and there is no need for fierce confrontation.All he has to do is focus on the defensive end of the court and keep up with the opponent.If a defender is unwilling to follow up, no matter how many points he scores, it will be a cancer on the court.

People are forced out.In order to hit the ball as soon as possible, in addition to practicing three-pointers every day, Anthony Morrow also practiced defense frantically, and singled out his outside teammates whenever he had the opportunity.

Finally, Anthony Morrow got the nod from Jeff Van Gundy during his latest practice. "Anthony, you did a great job, the defense has improved a lot."

"Thank you. Coach, can I participate in the game like this?" Morrow was a straight-hearted man, and he asked immediately when Van Gundy praised him.

"You're making rapid progress because your starting point is low. Your defense used to be as thin as a piece of paper, but now it's like sandpaper." Van Gundy laughed.

Moreau was a little depressed after hearing this.The Lynx team's lineup is too strong, and he is a second-round rookie, the most unpopular one. How easy is it to make a comeback?All he felt he needed was a chance.

Van Gundy went on to say: "You will have a chance. I am not mocking you. Although sandpaper is also paper, it is already uncomfortable to stick it on people. You have indeed improved. As long as you continue to work hard, I believe you can become an important Bobcat. a member."

Van Gundy also spoke from his heart.In the Bobcats, Morrow's three-pointer level is comparable to that of Miller, and Hayes and Billups should feel ashamed.This unique skill alone is enough to give him a place in the team.But if he is allowed to perform on the court too early, he is likely to become another Kapono-style player who can only attack but not defend.

People have different personalities.Brook Lopez and Kevin Durant are introverted, and they must be encouraged more. The more encouragement they have, the faster they will improve.Morrow is different. Although he has a low draft pick, he is very confident.Such a player needs to be beaten all the time, which is more conducive to his growth.

D'Antoni and Van Gundy have already made plans. Morrow doesn't need to do much on the defensive end. As long as he can reach Weaver's level, the Bobcats will immediately arrange him into the rotation.

The position of another George Hill, who has not been given a chance to play, is a bit embarrassing.

The coaching staff believed that Hill was severely overestimated, and Hayes also felt the same way. It seems that the experience of the previous life may not be so accurate.

乔治-希尔在马刺第二个赛季打出了非常亮眼的数据，场均12.4分2.6篮板2.9助攻，相比主控托尼-帕克的场均16.0分2.4篮板5.7助攻也并不逊色多少。而且当帕克因伤缺阵的时候，希尔首发出场43次，场均16.2分3.5篮板3.4助攻的数据。看上去似乎他完全可以取代帕克了。

Hill's playing style is pretty good at first glance.He can guard two positions in the backcourt; he is a good three-point shooter, especially on the wings with strong lethality.But he is not good at passing the ball.To put it bluntly, Hill is a point guard with the soul of a shooting guard.

It's not easy for this kind of player to earn his worth. In Hayes' previous life, Hill was lucky enough to be selected by the Spurs.Spurs coach Popovich likes this kind of point guard who shoots first and passes second.And he's particularly good at using those types of players.

But also in the Spurs, there is a big gap between Hill and Parker's strength.Hill is good at three-pointers, while Parker is better at mid-range shots and driving to the basket to score.The most important point is that Parker is not only strong in attack, but also has a good organization; while Hill's organizational ability is not even considered a passing grade, and his assists and assist-to-turnover ratio in 48 minutes are not as good as the old Duncan.

That was Hill in the 2009-2010 season, and now Hill is even worse. His dribbling ability is very average, and his passing awareness is not even half of Rondo's.

D'Antoni and Van Gundy both agreed that although the Bobcats' offensive system does not require too many point guards to dribble and organize, Hill is far behind Billups and Rondo in terms of ability. failed.As a shooting guard, Hill is only 188cm tall, and he will suffer even more when defending, and he will not be able to compete with Durant, Azubuike, Weaver and others for playing time.

Hill can only go up when his teammates are absent, which can be a bit of a wait.But Hill also has advantages, that is, the salary is low, and the Bobcats don't care about keeping such a substitute.
