the rest, only noise

Chapter 1427
The first thousand and 440 chapters change a leg to walk
The draft is over.

The Lakers' seemingly bewildered operations in the draft added a touch of joy to the audience, but it didn't take long for that joy to be replaced by the anger brought about by the NBA lockout.

April 7

David Stern announced that due to irreconcilable differences, the NBA will officially stop today.

So, suddenly, the NBA front office, which should have entered a busy period, took a collective holiday.

Louie called everyone on the team before returning home.

He hopes that the players will not neglect training during the lockout.The more this is the time, the more we must demand ourselves with high standards. The lockout will always end. When the season starts, these hard training will be reflected on them one by one.

In addition, Louis emphasized to Garnett and Kobe that they should conduct "spiritual" training on time and write down their experiences. When the new season starts, these experiences will be handed over to him.

Garnett complained endlessly: "Sir, why am I still assigned summer homework after I have already left campus?"

"Do you know where you are inferior to Tim? It's not technology, it's not your body, it's not your ability." Louis said three nonsense words without blinking his eyes. "It's the mentality and emotional control. Your mentality is easy to be impetuous, and your emotions often lose control. Think about Tim again. Why does he roar like you all the time? Even if he gets 50 points, he still looks like the referee owes him money. Learn from it!"

"Sir, it's not fair! Tim has a bachelor's degree in psychology. He has studied in college for four years. He must be better educated than me."

"You're making excuses, right? What's wrong with going to college? Four years of college is amazing? You also went to four years of college!" Louis said bitterly, "You've been studying at Lakers University for four years, why haven't you made any progress at all? Is it because Professor Bird didn't teach you well? It seems that I have to find some time to scold that bumpkin."

"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" Garnett yelled, "Sir, don't bother Larry anymore, I'll listen to you, isn't it just mental thinking, buddy is a mental thinking person from today on!"

"Remember to write down your experience, I will read it when the time comes."

Kobe is not as difficult to deal with as Garnett.

When Kobe asked why Shensi, Louis dispelled his doubts with one sentence.

"Do you know why Benj can be calm at critical moments and always play steadily? Because he is a master-level minder, and he has been thinking for several years, which is why he finally became the best in history. If you want him to be so good, you must first master the secret of making him so good."

The simple Kobe still bites at the bait, decisively expressing that he has to think about it every day, and when the new season starts, he will be the first to hand in his homework.

"Very well, Bean, this is your first step in replacing Benj as the next GOAT."

"Thank you for your continuous encouragement, Sir, I will definitely study Shensi hard and strive to become a master in this field!"

Faced with such a deceitful child, Louis was really reluctant to part with him.

However, the lockout is a foregone conclusion. According to the ending of the previous life, this lockout will last until 2000.

It was the new millennium.

In other words, Louis' vacation lasted for half a year.

Think about how much will happen during this time, and how much will they change when they meet next time?

Louis faintly looked forward to it.

In early July, Louis spent a day with his family before flying to China alone to continue his work.

There is almost no rest time throughout the year, and this kind of life has lasted for three full years.

Louis doesn't know how long he can persist, but every time he comes to the national team, he feels full of energy, because in his heart, there is still a lofty goal that has not been achieved, and they were only one step away from that goal last year.

But for all aspects of the country, the men's basketball team has successfully completed their mission.

The runner-up of the World Championships is enough to make the Basketball Association look good, and the major media are overwhelmingly promoting this team that has won the eighth place in the past to dampen the fans.

When Louis arrived, Del Harris had organized the team for a month and a half.

Jeff Van Gundy has a whole new defensive plan for the team.

On the first day of returning to the men's basketball team, Louis led the team to replay the heartbreaking loss last year.

What Louie wants the players to see is how terrifying the American team's rhythm and starting speed are.

This is usually the advantage of the men's basketball team against other teams, but against the Americans, it is short and long.

"Last year's defeat taught us a lesson, that is, we can't compete with the Americans in terms of faster tempo, they can't push more counterattacks than anyone else, and we can't play in the rhythm of the game they are accustomed to." Louis said, "Unfortunately, what the Americans are good at is also what we were good at before. This is the reason why we can reach the final of the World Championships, but in front of the Americans, this method does not work."

"So, we're going to walk on the other leg."

Louie introduces another game mode.

He calls this pattern "one more pass."

Through complex tactical moves, passing the ball multiple times to create real opportunities, make full use of the 24-second attack time, and try to complete the attack after 20 seconds.

"This can indeed effectively reduce the pace of the game, but can we adapt?"

Harris is well-informed, and Louie's routine against the US team reminded him of the immortal 1985 NCAA National Finals.

The Cinderella-like Villanueva men's basketball team defeated Georgetown in the national finals.

In the era when the NCAA hadn't introduced the offensive clock, Villanueva's tactics were to constantly control the rhythm, delay time, and consume Georgetown's patience.

But Louie's inspiration didn't come from that game, but from the legendary game where the Greek team defeated the US team in 2006 in his previous life.

That's the biggest upset in modern basketball.

Of course, the Greek team not only controlled the rhythm of the game, it can be said that they made frequent tricks throughout the game, and the head coach Janusky even became Popovich's teacher for a while.

Louie is now just pushing the idea of ​​controlling the tempo to the players, and the rest, take your time.

Later, Louis went to Li Yuanhe and proposed to him a plan for a big national team.

Louis's big national team plan is not to select talents, but to gather the domestic basketball elites as a training partner for the first team to simulate the new style of "passing the ball one more time".

Li Yuanhe agreed, but the country did not fully cooperate.

After all, the sparring team is not counted as the national team's official selection, and they can't play the national team games. Coming here as a sparring team is like volunteering, and there is nothing.

Louis guessed that there would be such a thing, so he called those who were willing to come first, and then called the overseas players of Luyuan to form a high-quality training team with American style.

Moreover, the name of this sparring team is Team B to the outside world, while the official national team led by Louis is called Team A to the outside world.

Louis also got some sponsors to hold exhibition games in the name of men's basketball team A and team B in China.

Taking this opportunity, the men's basketball team began to practice a slow-paced game.

At the beginning, everyone was uncomfortable, and the number of mistakes took off directly.

There was even a game where the dignified national team actually lost to team B.

Some players of the B team then attracted the attention of all parties, such as Xiao Laoban who worked hard in Europe, Van Helsing who was fighting for NBA opportunities in the NBA Development League, and so on.

When a male basketball player is underperforming, someone wants to replace them with the top B-team players.

Because fans always have the idea that maybe someone is stronger than XX.

Louie's plans are progressing steadily.

After half a month, the team has initially adapted to the slow-paced game, and this style of play will not be pushed away as the main tactic of the men's basketball team.

This is a secret weapon, and it will only have a miraculous effect if it is used suddenly when facing the US team again.

After more than half a month of training, the B team disbanded in situ, and Louis took the men's basketball team to participate in a warm-up match of higher quality to prepare for the Men's Basketball Asian Championships held in Fukuoka, Japan at the end of August.

(78) A thousand chapters ago I spent about three chapters describing that game.Let's talk about Villanova's shooting performance here. The shooting percentage is [-]%.

⑵ Popovich’s idea of ​​letting Ginobili play the sixth man came from the 2006 World Championship match between Greece and the United States. Greece chose to start with a substitute, and waited for the horse to wait for the horse to wait for the horse to wait for the horse to wait for the horse to wait for the horse to wait for the horse. The decisive battle time was pushed to the last three quarters.
