Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 380 Shocked!He actually wants to play number 5!

After Lian Feng said these words, Adelman was stunned.

To be honest, he never considered the option of Lian Feng at all.After being stunned for a moment, Adelman shook his head: "Stop joking..."

Lian Feng said seriously: "Coach, I'm not joking with you... Do you think, who else in the team can stand up to other centers?"

Adelman opened his mouth, unable to refute.Indeed, something that makes people speechless... Lian Feng's weight is the heaviest in the team, and even Marc Gasol's weight is two or three kilograms behind Lian Feng... Therefore, Lian Feng is undoubtedly the most suitable person to fight against the center forward.

However, this is only in terms of weight... Adelman is unwilling to do this. Although he can't think of any valid reason for a while, it just feels weird.

Lian Feng knew that it was indeed very difficult for Adelman to immediately accept himself from the 2nd position to the 5th position.So, he thought about it, and persuaded him earnestly.

"Coach, I think we have to change our thinking...First of all, we need to understand that in our team, what is the main role of the center...I think it is definitely not the main offensive position. On the defensive end, under our defensive system, the center does not need to cover a large defensive area. The minimum requirement is that it cannot be used as a point to be singled out by the opposing center."

"On the offensive end, in our offensive system, the role of the center is more reflected in becoming the axis of the offense. At the same time, we must constantly go back and forth between the high post and the penalty area to pull out the opponent's inside players and create space for our cuts. When necessary, we can even go directly outside the three-point line and use long shots to punish inside behemoths like O'Neal and Yao Ming."

Adelman was silent, of course he understood what Lian Feng said.However, he thought about it carefully at this time, and thought that the biggest problem was that if Lian Feng was really allowed to play center forward, wouldn't that mean giving up Lian Feng's strong deterrent power on the outside?He thought for a while, and told Lian Feng what he thought.

After Lian Feng listened, he shook his head and said seriously: "Coach, I think we should change our way of thinking. Attack and defense should be discussed separately."

"When defending, of course we have to consider the opponent's lineup, so it is very important for the center to be able to withstand the opposing center, to be able to protect the basket, and to be able to grab rebounds."

"But on the offensive end, it can't be considered in traditional thinking at all...Why, I mean, why do we have to follow the traditional style of play and have to have a center in the traditional sense?"

Adelman was slightly taken aback.

Lian Feng continued to smile. In the future, ten years later, the concept of modern basketball has completely changed.This Hornets team has tended to be the kind of team in the future at this time, so instilling some future basketball concepts in Adelman now will become more acceptable.

"These two seasons have actually confirmed the fact that the future basketball trend must be... the boundaries of various positions on the court will become more and more blurred. Think about how we win the game? It depends on speed and range. At the same height, the faster the better, and at the same speed, the higher the better."

"When I replaced Gasol, there was no longer a center in the traditional sense on the offensive end. I still played like a forward or a guard, so what should the center do? Does he defend me or does he not defend me?"

"He can still choose to stay in the paint, but there will be no one to play with him, and his teammates will be very miserable, and they have to face the situation of 4 on 5."

"But what will happen if the opposing center comes out of defense?" Lian Feng's eyes were shining with confidence: "How many times do you think I will knock them down? Don't look at how heavy I am now, it is not too easy to shake a center forward."

Adelman was taken aback by Lian Feng's words.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems very reasonable.

Ah... This is simply to overthrow the existing NBA basketball structure!If this is the case, the team's lineup seems to have become a "five small" lineup, and the highest Ibaka on the court is only 206.

If successful, it may bring a new storm to the entire NBA.

It's just that there are many things that can't be thought about carefully.

Adelman finally compromised, so he had no choice but to say: "I can't find any favorable arguments to refute you at the moment, so... we can try it."

According to Lian Feng, this team really does not have a "center forward" in the traditional sense.It can only be said to be...a division of labor.

According to this way of thinking, Lian Feng can't be regarded as the top "center forward" strictly speaking.It can only be said that when defending, he is responsible for defending the center.

On the offensive end, Lianfeng still executes according to the previous style of play, running with the ball or without the ball like a guard or forward.This will indeed not weaken Lian Feng's position on the offensive end...even, such a special lineup change will make the opponent's center suddenly at a loss.

As Lian Feng said, when he starts to run a lot in the offensive short, what should the center do?Run along, you will be exhausted.If he doesn't run away, who will play with him?

After Lianfeng takes the position of Gasol Jr., there is another advantage...Danny Green doesn't have to be replaced, and Holiday can play his dream starter.

After briefly agreeing with Adelman, Lian Feng picked up a ball to the basket, swayed left and right, then changed the ball to his left hand, jumped high, and threw the ball with his left hand.

This is a method that Lian Feng just came up with, to make up for his lack of height and wingspan, and his shortcoming of being easily interfered with with a big hook.

It is already possible to combine many skills together to exert a power far beyond that skill!
When encountering some necessary opportunities, first use the powerful back to hit the king to open the way to create a comfortable attacking space, then a set of fantasy footsteps to further enlarge the attacking space, and finally use the jumping ability and the king of the hook to complete the finish.And because of the proficient bonus of the weak side of the golden skill, whether it is left or right hand can draw a stable finish, it will be more difficult for the opponent to defend.

Adelman's eyes lit up in the distance, and he asked, "Good hook move! When did you know how to do this?"

"Hehe, I've been practicing."

At that time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar relied on his incomprehensible skyhook to champion the league, but it is becoming more and more difficult to see this move in the league today.In fact, it's not that hooks are rare, but sky hooks are rare.

Players such as Yao Ming and O'Neal can use hooks, but their movements are quite different from those of sky hooks: the small hook is to take the ball with the trend, with a slight push of the arm, while the sky hook basically relies on the wrist to exert force. The difference between the two is like a normal shot and a fadeaway jump shot.In short, the movement of the skyhook is more difficult to interfere with.Moreover, ordinary hooks cannot be used anytime and anywhere, but sky hooks can hook you to doubt your life no matter what time or who is defending.

However, skyhooks are becoming less and less common.The main reason is that the skyhook is too difficult to practice. Compared with the fadeaway jumper, it can prevent other people from interfering. The learning difficulty of the fadeaway jumper has been reduced by a lot.

Lian Feng's hook just now was obviously a big hook, and from the point of view of his movements, he was already very mature.

Adelman was once again impressed by Lian Feng... This guy seems to have added another incredible weapon to his arsenal.
