NBA: Starting off with Chamberlain's talent

Oakland Arena

New assistant D'Antoni wasn't too happy with the Warriors' first in-team practice.

His arrival is to help coach Musselman sort out the offense.

In the project training session, he found that the talent of the Warriors is very good.

Especially the 18-year-old rookie center.

His athleticism is truly terrifying.

No wonder Chamberlain, Magician, and Garnett are dubbed as templates.

It's hard to imagine that a man of his size is faster than Van Exel, who is known as a madman, in the link of dribbling and laying up!
His hands are too big and his control over the ball is too good.

You can go to the team confrontation link.

Regardless of defense.

Coach D'Antoni found the Warriors' offense to be messy.

It may also be the running-in relationship of the new players.

According to the previous Warriors' positional warfare, their efficiency is very low.

The rookie big center Zhang You in the paint even had a hard time getting the ball.

He got the ball and wanted to pass it, and no one was running at all.

Everyone fights on their own, and they especially love singles with the ball.

D'Antoni quickly figured out what the problem was.

Everyone on this team is very athletic.

The main reason is that there is no suitable offensive tactic.

"In the end how to do?"

D'Antoni was thinking.

If you play as before.

The team's performance may not make it to the playoffs.

While the coaches mused, the confrontation continued.

Both teams in singles are having a hard time.

Dunleavy of the first team finally made a three-pointer against Murphy's defense of the second team.

Zhang You sent the ball to Richardson from the bottom corner.

Richardson understood and passed back to Zhang You to control the ball.

"Ok?"

Claxton, the main controller of the second team, stretched out his hand a little confused.

I just won the championship with the Spurs last season. Isn't it looking for me to play the leading role this season?
what happened?Richardson actually let the center handle the ball.

D'Antoni also frowned.

But coach Musselman also understood.

"Hehe, Coach Michael, you'll understand after seeing this kid later."

Although Musselman also feels that it is a bit nonsense to let the fifth position control the ball, but in training, you might as well look at this novel offensive method...

After Zhang You controlled the ball, he was full of confidence as if he had mastered the audience.

He's like a court commander now.

Uncle Clifford Robinson, the center forward of the first team, thought it was a little funny.

He didn't even bother to reach out at the top of the arc.

But he stopped laughing immediately.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as Zhang You pulled the ball to the right, it came out of a wide gap.

He suddenly rushed up at a speed like a heavy truck.

The interior is empty.

Killed directly!
"boom!"

The four opened up space for him, and he easily passed the inside line Robinson and succeeded in one-handed dunking.

so easy.

"This……"

The new recruits were shocked.

Even coach D'Antoni mustache Yiqiao couldn't believe everything in front of him.

The confrontation training is still going on.

"Do you know Kobe Bryant? He came to the Lakers for the first time in 96, and he was blown away by me!"

After the madman Van Exel finished speaking, he was going to single out Zhang You.

Pull it all apart.

A defender swayed from side to side, stepped on the gas pedal in an instant, and Van Exel slipped into the inside!
Got it!

"Snapped!"

Van Elsek, who attacked the inside line secretly thought that he was careless.

Zhang You directly hit the backboard and held it down! !
Zhang You, who grabbed the rebound casually, started a fast break crazily!

He's a big guy faster than guards!
"Stop him quickly!!"

Uncle Robinson can no longer keep up with Zhang You.

His legs are too old.

Cheney from the first team came to take out the ball.

But Zhang You used a moving behind-the-back dribble to play with this athletic forward.

Coming to the frontcourt, Zhang You looked at Murphy who was already on the three-point line.

The ball has flown close to the basket.

"boom!!!"

Richardson jumped up.

Alley-oop buckle!

This is Zhang You's no-look pass.

It can't be too comfortable.

Seeing this scene, D'Antoni seemed to have a flash of light in his mind.

If Zhang You's height plays ball control!

It seems to work surprisingly well! !
He has too much control over the ball.

Hit everyone in the wrong place!
Do you want to experiment?
after suspension

Claxton, the master of the second team, complained about Zhang You's possession of the ball.

"Coach, isn't this messing around? There is an inside man holding the ball outside. Oh, maybe he is really an oriental magician, and he thinks he is Elvin Johnson."

Claxton felt bad.

But the next second he was stupid.

Coach D'Antoni actually agreed with him.

"You're right, now Zhang is the point guard, and you rest."

"what?"

Claxton was completely bewildered.

I'm a backup guard on a championship team.

It's fine if you don't let me play the main force, but now I'm being robbed of my job by the center forward?

D'Antoni is indeed a coach who is good at innovative experiments.

"Now the first team plays according to the established tactics of positional warfare and running after the pick-and-roll, and the second team plays the first position around Zhang and we play fast offense..."

what? !

D'Antoni's words shocked everyone from ear to ear.

isn't it?
Actually let the high school rookie play the main control.

Then D'Antoni reorganized the lineup.

In the second team, Zhang You played in position [-], Richardson in line [-], Pietrus in position [-], and Dunleavy in position [-]...

They are all players with strong running ability and can shoot three-pointers.

And D'Antoni also specifically explained that Zhang You played a fast offense.

Try to let the players break into the paint to score or pass the ball out quickly.

"I thought I was crazy, but I didn't expect this coach to be even more crazy."

"We have to give them some color. We have been in the league for many years. This style of play is a joke."

Van Exel and Robinson were really puzzled by the new coach's tactics.

It's just two good shots, as for?

Coaches understand that they want to develop a rookie who is so athletically gifted.

But this is a bit too much.

"Boom bang bang..."

"This rookie is a stubble, double-team!"

The first team quickly realized that something was wrong.

This No. 9 show is weird.

His ability to handle the ball is surprisingly good.

His breakthrough has no fancy skills, just basic skills.

At most it's a simple disguise.

But he is so impactful!
It's easy to score with his long arms.

Rushing in is a wipe or a slam dunk.

Robinson took a breath and stood firm, watching this guy like a steel tower charge in again.

"Oh!"

He closed his eyes thinking he was going to be knocked into the air.

But Zhang You accidentally hit the ball and passed it to Pietrus who was running back.

The latter made an easy layup.

"Not bad!"

The two coaches looked at each other.

Zhang You may be shooting average now, and his awareness and skills in inside operations are average.

Surprisingly strong at hitting the rim and passing the ball!
In the confrontation, Zhang You perfectly demonstrated his passing talent and ability to hit the basket.

He is a simple three-step layup, but it is very powerful.

Uncle Robinson was even pushed off the baseline by him in one round...

Although his inside ability is average, his wingspan is too long. On the defensive end, his athletic ability and enthusiasm also bring a sense of suffocation to the opponent.

In time, he must be a superstar!
"For example, if you use Zhang You as the axis to attract double-teamers and then divide the ball to ambush four guys who all shoot three-pointers..."

"Or let Zhang You play fast offense with the ball..."

D'Antoni rubbed his chin in thought.

But it was extremely exciting.

He needs to practice his new tactics!

But will lunatics, veteran point guards in the league, be convinced?
"Maybe, he will be on par with O'Neal in his rookie season."

Coach Musselman smiled confidently and explained.

"Coach Michael, we actually planned to select him with the second overall pick."

D'Antoni was surprised and seemed to be expected.

The Warriors seem to have picked up a super leak!

"Really? Is he stronger than Carmelo Anthony who led Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship?"

"Now I am absolutely sure that it is no accident that he can beat LeBron James!"

Hearing D'Antoni's words, Mourinho nodded, watching D'Antoni's tactics was extremely exciting.

"I have a bold idea."
