You'd better wrap me

Chapter 34 Who is the better cornerstone of team building

The time and place of the game was confirmed, the Santa Monica High School team cheered, and Tommy skipped class to celebrate.

As a high school student, it is an extremely honorable thing to participate in the first live broadcast of a national high school game in history. The venue of the game is set to be the most legendary Staples Center in Los Angeles. It is very likely that it will be the brightest moment of life. I am so excited.

Su Yang was also a little surprised. It would cost a lot of money to mainly rent the Staples Center as a venue. Even though he and LeBron have become popular all over the United States, it will still be very difficult to earn back the cost through tickets. thing.

It can only be said that my school, St. Mary's side, and ESPN are all confident of success.

Coupled with the matchmaking between Pelinka's team and Goodwin's team, this blockbuster decision was finally reached. It should be somewhat similar to the boxing championship between Methaway and Pacquiao. Huge profits, not to mention the future is long, no matter what, the most important thing is to get the heat up first, even if you lose a little ticket money, you can make it back.

With excitement, at [-]:[-] p.m. on November [-]st, the entire Santa Monica High School team assembled and started preparing for the game.

"We have 28 days to prepare,"

In the office, head coach David pointed to a player, "The first step is to watch the game video of St. Mary's High School for a season, and study how to crack the opponent's defense and how to defend the opponent's offense. The video is 30 hours long... "

Between the words, Tommy and others showed shocked expressions, probably because the concept of "30 hours" was frightened by the concept of watching videos for the first time. The key coach David also said that he had to watch it several times, which is not very long Time is boring in the office.

How boring that is.

"You don't want to lose on a national broadcast, do you?"

Tommy and the others nodded repeatedly.

Coach David smiled and continued: "Since you want to win, you need to put in more effort. Watching videos is a very common thing in the NBA and even the NCAA. Have you heard the story of Kobe? Every time he When playing an away game, the first thing you do when you get on the plane is to watch the video, and only by watching more video can you better understand your opponent and win the game better.”

After the words fell, Tommy and the others gritted their teeth and nodded.

It seems to be broadcast live across the United States, acceptable!

Seeing this, Su Yang took over the topic: "Play the more critical games at four times speed first, such as the Ohio State championship finals, and Saint Mary's game against Oak Hill High School last year. I will take everyone through it first. I watched a game before. Videotape, St. Mary's is not a tactically strong team, if I remember correctly, compared to other TOP25 high school teams, their strength lies in defense..."

In order to emphasize the importance of watching videos, Coach David put it a bit too seriously. The importance of watching videos at the high school level is much worse than that of the NBA and NCAA. Most high school teams don’t have many complicated tactics. Santa Monica is considered special case.

"That's fine, listen to you!"

Coach David didn't put on airs, and Tommy and the others burst into laughter, and the St. Mary's High School game video began to play.

LeBron made an air-cut dunk, LeBron made an assist with a pass behind his back, LeBron received a long pass from his teammate and scored two points for a layup, and so on.Three games, nearly three and a half hours of recording time, four times the speed, played quickly.

"To be honest, I feel normal..."

Tommy spoke first, "I can't really explain why, but I feel that St. Mary's High School is not as good as us."

Ron and others nodded in agreement, and Coach David turned to Su Yang: "Let's talk about your opinion first."

"It's the same impact I had before,"

Su Yang said, "St. Mary High School's overall strength is particularly aggressive defense. From the video we can see that they frequently launch full-court presses and frequently use close defense in the backcourt. Once the ball holder is blocked , the second defender will rush forward to double-team and or control the passing route, and through a large number of fast defensive counterattacks, overwhelm the opponent's defense and psychology."

"Except for LeBron, St. Mary's physical condition is not as strong as our team..." Ron interjected.

"Yes,"

Su Yang nodded, "Their defender should be only about 175 in height, but he is very aggressive. He forced the ball holder to turn around and make a long pass several times, while other St. Mary's players flew out to complete the steal. It belongs to the overall defensive strategy... "

Let's defend against this kind of thing. The specific effect is really related to the aggressiveness, and the physical condition is secondary.

For example, Curry is gentle and elegant, relying on space and positioning, and the effect of assist defense and single defense is higher than the average point guard, but many players want to single him out, and Beverly is shorter than Curry and has super aggressive defense. A lot of players don't want to play.

Counterexamples include centers such as Baibian and Ayton, whose physical defense conditions are very good, but the defensive effect can only be said to be mediocre.

St. Mary's guards, in Su Yang's view, are Beverly's type. They only do two things in the whole game: the first is responsible for bringing the ball across the center line, and the second is responsible for passing the press, serving LeBron and others. Teammates, create opportunities for steals and fast breaks.

What's more, apart from the short point guard, St. Mary's high school players also have a very strong aggressive defense.

LeBron often presses opponents in the backcourt, which belongs to the leading defense, and does not direct traffic at all.

That allowed St. Mary's High School to form a team culture, like the Pistons, whose aggressive defense made the opponent fear the three-pointer first, and the Duhaou Big Three Nets, no matter who they met, the opponent would rush and rush. Hit without the slightest fear.

"St. Mary's High School still has LeBron as its absolute strength, and many teams don't have players who can match it..."

Su Yang continued to explain, "In the video just now, there are many times almost the same scene, that is, LeBron stands in the elbow area, suddenly turns around and runs back to the basket, and none of the defensive players who are facing him can catch up with him. With his speed, there is no chance for fouls, and every time LeBron gets stuck inside, many center players can't do anything about him, and they can easily catch the ball."

Judging from the video, high school LeBron, 200 cm + height, body is bigger than many centers, the speed of rushing up is comparable to off-road Hummer, key three-pointers and mid-range shots, can play back and back pass, return him Can LOGO play three points.

The average team sees LeBron directly in the circle.

Coupled with the aggressive defense of the St. Mary's High School team, Oak Hill, which once had Anthony, can resist the whole court.

But in that game, LeBron was just in his third year of high school and played against Anthony in his senior year. He didn't lose in statistics or scenes.

"Then how do we fight?" Coach David asked with a smile.

Ron and the others took the opportunity to joke, saying that it was shown in the video just now that LeBron is the head coach of St. Mary's High School. At least LeBron is in charge of on-the-spot game command, and the head coach of St. Mary's High School is like Coach David delegating power to Su Yang. Develop tactics.

"The first is to adapt to St. Mary's High School's style of play in advance, especially the two aspects of aggression and physical preparation. In the next training, we will practice more aggressive defense, simulate more rapid offensive and defensive transitions, and more Practice long passes.

I can single-handedly defend one by one, let everyone feel how I defend LeBron alone at Rock Park, it is a weight training..."

Before Su Yang could finish speaking, Tommy hurriedly said, "Don't, that will make us lose confidence in playing basketball."

The teammates burst into laughter, and Su Yang continued: "As for LeBron, I will mainly defend the whole process. You are responsible for delaying and slowing down. Just try not to let him charge up. Once you let him charge up, even if I want to defend, it will be very difficult. Difficult, difficult."

LeBron, who defended this period, adopted the classic Spurs strategy, with the striker following on the outside and the inside meat shield waiting.

Delay when there is a cover, I would rather let LeBron pass the ball to assist than let LeBron break through the defensive system through a breakthrough.

"Don't worry!" Ron patted his chest to reassure, Tommy and others nodded, and Coach David smiled to express his support.

The strategy is established, the matter of watching the video is temporarily put on hold, and the training starts directly, starting from the long pass to break the press.

In a blink of an eye, the regular training is over.

According to the plan, Ron and others queued up to experience Su Yang's strongest single defense, and it was very difficult to dribble normally.

While the training was going on, there were also many discussions and comments from the public about the battle between Su Yang and LeBron.

On the [-]th, after the Lakers defeated the Kings, O'Neal answered the reporter's question: "I have watched the game between Su Yang and LeBron on the spot. I can only say that LeBron will definitely not lose to Su Yang, and Su Yang will not lose to LeBron. Brown, but the two of them on the team, Santa Monica High will beat St. Mary High, I've never seen a high school team play as strong as Santa Monica High, they often beat other teams this season The fact that there are dozens of teams in the California Division I is the best proof..."

On the 60th, Odom was interviewed, talked about O'Neal's speech, and laughed and said: "Saint Mary doesn't have complicated tactics because they don't need them. Last time in New York, LeBron discussed tactics with me and Crawford. The idea is novel to us, and in many games in the past, LeBron has not played his best, he would rather let his teammates enjoy the game than [-] points himself."

NO.16, ESPN released Jim Bass' evaluation of Su Yang: "I watched Su Yang's training twice in the Santa Monica High School gymnasium, including his communication with teammates, coaches, and staff. I always feel that He is not like a high school player, he is too mature, as written in the scouting report, he has a mind far beyond his age, and a team built with him as the core will definitely be very strong, at least not what many second-rate magazines say Write, why LeBron is the cornerstone of the team, and why Su Yang can only be a super scorer..."

On the 21st, TNT released the anonymous voting results of 28 NBA general managers: If they hold the No. 21 pick and want to rebuild a team, regardless of any other related factors including the market, [-] people are more inclined to choose LeBron. Because nothing is too bad, and Su Yang has risks. Even if the risks are very small, it is better to choose LeBron for insurance.

Among them, 9 general managers believed that even considering market factors, LeBron has super ticket-selling attributes, and his mind is all on basketball, unlike Su Yang's single rap, which is much purer and more extreme than Su Yang .

Among the various arguments, Su Yang led the Santa Monica team to train step by step, and was not distracted by the news.

In a blink of an eye, on the 29th, the war came.

　Ask for votes.
