NBA: I, the god of the front

The team's offense and defense are always issues that Nash should consider.

Now the team's offense can be said to be gorgeous, what should be considered is how to improve the defense.

A team with an excellent defensive system can go further in the playoffs.

What Nash has to consider now is to prove himself in the playoffs.

D'Antoni has been coaching for so many years, and his offense has always been greater than his defense, so the team's offense is gorgeous.

Back then, when the Suns were still a center forward, there was a whirlwind of fast fighting, and it became a unique school in the league in that era, and it also became the collective memory of the post-80s generation.

Nash was also deeply influenced by D'Antoni. After becoming the head coach of the Nets, he focused on offense and gradually weakened defense.

It wasn't until Yang Yang's appearance, using defense to limit the opponent's core to win the game, that he reminded Nash.

In the East, if you want to go further, you must have a lot of defense, especially in the face of the Bucks.

To sum up the loss of last year's playoffs, in addition to Irving's injury, the defense is also a big loophole.

Although Harden's strong firepower has been added this year, and the offensive end is already one of the best in the league, but Harden's offense outweighs his defense.

So the team urgently needs an excellent 3D player, Young, who is the one Nash wants most.

During the discussion among the people, Nash wrote down all the suggestions in his notebook and thought about each point in detail.

In the end, Vaughn's suggestion is still the focus, which is to strengthen the defense.

Especially like the Warriors, with a few key defenders, you can go further in the playoffs.

When everyone finished expressing their opinions and hoped that Nash would stand up and conclude, Nash nodded and smiled in satisfaction.

"I have written down everyone's opinions, and I will talk about my thoughts first."

"First of all, it is the use of Yang."

Speaking of this, D'Antoni does not take it seriously. The team does not need Yang's offense. If it is 3D, it is still acceptable.

Nash knew his mentor's philosophy well, so he raised his head and smiled at him, "Mr. Mike, we have the offense of the Big Three, and the offensive power is already at the top of the league. But Yang's point is of great help to us."

"Today's game is enough to see that Yang is worthy of a heavy responsibility. Both offensive and defensive ends are excellent, and he is also very suitable to become a 3D player."

D'Antoni was very satisfied with Nash's opinion, nodded and said, "Yes, 3D positioning, I think it is very good and suitable for the team."

When Vaughan heard this, he didn't have any opinion. After all, the team's first choice for offense is the Big Three, and 3D is the most suitable.

Immediately, Vaughn also gave D'Antoni a thumbs up, expressing his approval.

Nash was very satisfied with the two people's support for his work, and said with a smile, "Everyone, have you ever thought about a question, the playoffs are our real arena. There are too many uncertain factors in the arena. Don't forget last year's lesson."

"You mean, we need to be the core of the second team?" Vaughan discussed this matter with Nash during the off-season.

Mr. Ma was there at the time, so there was a mid-season trade to get Harden.

Nash said with certainty, "Yes, in summarizing last year's defeat, I have two things to say."

"First, our bench is not strong enough to provide firepower in the second team."

"Second, our defense is really not enough. I like the Warriors' defense very much. They have Dreaming Green and Iguodala."

Nash has been a consultant for the Warriors for several years and knows their defense and offense very well.

Although I want to have my own set of coaching concepts, the team's offense and defense cannot be copied, so I can only get closer.

D'Antoni reminded Nash that he can't copy the Warriors completely and needs to have something of his own.

So in the first year of coaching, with a luxurious fleet, but not even making the Eastern Conference finals, this is a failure.

Then, Nash continued, "Everyone's opinions are very valuable, and I have been looking for a qualified 3D player. You may not need to score many points, but you must become the core of the team's defense like Iguodala."

"I tried to introduce key 3D, but you also know that the pressure on President Ma is not small."

"Yang's appearance saves us the time of searching. Mr. Vaughn, I will leave all his defense to you."

Vaughan accepted the task very happily, and stretched out his hand and replied, "Don't worry, my head coach, I will build him as the next Leonard, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

D'Antoni laughed and said, "My Mr. Vaughn, you are only responsible for building his defense. We don't lack offense."

Vaughan is not in a hurry to get entangled with him on offense. It is not easy to find a defensive champion. As for offense, let's talk about it slowly.

Nash then returned to the first point and continued, "Mr. Mike, I want to have a full set of offensive firepower. When only one of the Big Three is left on the field to lead the team, there needs to be a firepower support point at this time."

D'Antoni understood what he meant, his lips curled up, and his mustache moved again.

Taking a deep breath, he folded his arms and said, "The lineup changes according to the situation on the court. The starting lineup is the Big Three. We can substitute one by one, and always keep two players on the court at the same time to ensure our firepower."

"Under the condition of health, we can guarantee the presence of three people at the same time in the fourth quarter. But Mr. Mike, when using Durant, I must ensure his health." Nash is more concerned about Durant's health than the team's The record is more important.

In this regard, D'Antoni told Nash with Smith's health report that Durant's playing time can be appropriately increased, and the team's record must be guaranteed.

On this point alone, Nash gave full play to the responsibility of the head coach and did not accept D'Antoni's opinion.

At this time, D'Antoni said directly, "We still have Aldridge now, don't forget his offense."

"No, no, Aldridge's offense is indeed very stable, but at his age, it is difficult to persist for a long time." Nash put down his notebook and said, "I want to try Yang and build him as a bench bandit. The second team provides the most firepower."

"The strongest firepower?" D'Antoni looked puzzled.

Now even Vaughn doesn't quite understand Nash's thoughts. What is the strongest firepower?
Seeing everyone's interest, Nash affirmed, "After the last battle, my long-awaited plan has seen hope. It is to build a fourth giant outside the Big Three as our secret weapon."

"That is to say, in the absence of the Big Three, we still have to maintain enough firepower. Yang, who is the core of our tactics, can still lead the team to win the game."

"This is the strongest firepower."

Everyone has a lot of ideas about Nash's strongest firepower plan, but Yang, can he take on this important task?
