Tomorrow is the first game of the preseason, and this is also the last intra-team confrontation training game. Carlesimo is still constantly transferring players from the bench to the main lineup, and then transferring a certain player to the main lineup. There is no way to call it out, the time is too short, and it is difficult to adapt to changing half of the lineup at once.

Durant benefited from the confrontation with Stephen, and then improved through the summer league. Now he is very able to adapt to the intensity of confrontation in professional games. Although there are still some physical shortcomings, his skills and shooting make up for him. Insufficient aspects.

Damien Wilkins originally wanted to compete with Durant for the starting small forward position. Although he didn't have much confidence in Stephen, facing a rookie player, even if he was the No. He was dissatisfied, but after only a few team confrontations, Durant quickly convinced him and willingly gave up his starting position.

Because he knows very well that the team does not have too many players on the front and back lines. Even if he gives up the starting position, whether it is for Stephen as a substitute or for Durant, he has a lot of players. Playing time, and thanks to the precepts and deeds of his father and uncle, Wilkins also clearly recognizes his position in handling the relationship between players, and has maintained a very good relationship with Stephen and Durant.

Now it gives people a feeling that Stephen is the new Ray Allen, and Durant is the new Lewis. Compared with last season, the Sonics just introduced Coupard and Robert Horry. The scoring ability is better than Ray Allen, but many people still have doubts about whether he can lead a team forward.

There have been many players like this before. When they were assistants, they played very well, but once they became the boss of the team, some would fall into a vicious cycle of indecision, thinking about scoring themselves, and trying to pretend to be selfless Some people lose themselves in the swing; some just focus on their own shots after no one restrains them, becoming a lonely or cancerous player.

As for Durant, although he may be better than Lewis in terms of talent, he still lacks game experience after all. He believes that he cannot become Stephen's powerful assistant within two or three seasons. The improvement is limited, and this is the analysis and opinion of the mainstream media on the Sonics.

Seeing such an argument, Stephen was naturally very dissatisfied, but he was powerless to refute it. Although Stephen couldn't wait to start the new season quickly, and then use the victory to teach those who underestimated himself and the team, he also knew that the current team The most lacking is time.

After all, he is different from Ray Allen. Ray Allen prefers to shoot from the outside, while he prefers to go to the basket to score points. This requires the cooperation of inside players to be a little more complicated than in the Ray Allen era, because It is necessary to help him block the chasing players, or attract the opponent's inside players for him, but in experiments, this kind of cooperation is difficult to play.

After Robert Horry came, the situation became better, because he was more familiar with Stephen's ability, and his name was also a big threat, so he was able to complete this task, but he had already agreed before coming, he He won't have much playing time, and the team can't expect him to be a main force.

Fortunately, with his arrival, he can give advice to those young inside players. After all, he has a reputation and qualifications. What he said, even Wilcox had to listen. Driven by him, everyone Learning how to cooperate with Stephen.

In the cooperation with Nash, Kurt Thomas learned how to do better pick-and-roll cooperation. He has nothing to pursue when he is over 35 years old, so he also uses his experience and experience to guide those with Robert Horry. Young interior players.

Under the guidance of these two experienced old guys, two players quickly emerged and became Carlesimo's trusted players. They are Coupard and Robert Swift. Coupard has no one in the Clippers. To give him this kind of advice, Stephen would only force him to practice hard, until he met Yao Ming, Yao Ming gave him some guidance, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

But he is too different from Yao Ming. Although Yao Ming is tall, his physical talent is not very good. He mainly relies on technology, but he mainly relies on his body. Yao Ming's guidance always feels a little inferior. When Yao Ming lured him to the past, he said that Dawson, the former general manager of the Rockets, was a very good teacher of inside players. If he changed his guidance, Coupard's footwork and inside offense would definitely be greatly improved.

Dawson is a very good inside coach. It was under his guidance that Olajuwon practiced "dream dance steps", and Yao Ming's improvement has a lot to do with him. This is why the Rockets dared to select Yao The reason for the name, the reason why the Rockets have a center tradition also has a lot to do with Dawson.

But the Sonics have no tradition in this regard, and Carlesimo's coaching staff does not have a full-time inside coach. Robert Horry and Kurt Thomas just made up for this defect of the team. Although in just a few days, It is impossible to have too many immediate effects, but progress can be seen.

However, although the two of them have improved, they can't replace Wilcox for the time being. In addition, there is Nick Collinson. Although he has no height, no bounce, and no speed, he is active in defense and has a very good ability to grab rebounds. , the only one who can play the role of an engineer is Johan Padro, who was completely given up by Carlesimo.

In the last training game, the main lineup was center Coupard, power forward Wilcox, small forward Durant, shooting guard Stephen, point guard Earl Watson, and the opposing side was the center Robert Swift, power forward Nick Collinson, small forward Wilkins, shooting guard Delonte West, point guard Luke Crednour.

Due to the shortage of forwards and guards, Carlesimo simply let Delonte West go to the position of shooting guard. Robert Horry and Kurt Thomas commanded the bench to fight against the main force. Robert Swift felt that Because of Stephen's relationship, Coupard was able to become the starter, and Ridnor was not convinced by Watson, so the two of them played very proactively and very angry.

Stephen played for a while, feeling that Delonte West's confrontation was not enough, so he also reduced the number of offensive shots and put his energy into connecting his teammates. Under his connection, the main lineup beat the substitute lineup, especially It was Durant's performance that was very efficient. Half of the main lineup's shots were concentrated in his hands, and he also returned this trust with a shooting percentage of more than 60.00%.

You must know that his shots are all outside shots. More than 40 is a very good statistic. Of course, there are factors of insufficient strength in confrontation games. Wilkins, who is less than two meters long, is not very good in defense, but his The performance is also dazzling enough.

The three 10-minute confrontation training only further proved the excellence of the main lineup. In addition to Watson's performance not as good as Ridnour, even Coupard also won the confrontation with Robert Swift, but Ridnour His performance will only strengthen Carlesimo's determination to put him on the bench, because he is too greedy for the ball, and at the same time, he does it more by himself in the offense instead of cooperating with his teammates.

After the confrontation training, Robert Horry gathered all the people in the substitute lineup in front of him, and gave them comments and pointers one by one, especially Robert Swift, who attached great importance to Robert Horry's pointers and stood obediently. Listen carefully there.

Regarding the main lineup, Carlesimo has nothing to say. Now that the lineup has been determined, the rest is to adjust the lineup, but there is no time. It can only be done in the preseason games. As for the substitute Carlesimo didn't pay much attention to the lineup. He didn't intend to, and the lineup didn't have the strength to set up such a luxurious substitute lineup like the Spurs.

In addition to the five main players, Damien Wilkins, Ridnor and Robert Swift are the ones he plans to put in the main rotation lineup. As for the others, it depends on the situation at the time. As for Robert Horry and Kurt Thomas, these two veterans, is what he plans to use when he needs to stabilize the morale of the army, and he doesn't usually need them to play.

Kurt Thomas is in good physical condition. Robert Horry has already entered the role of assistant coach in advance, so he is not given much arrangement for playing time. Tell the players that they will be ready to play tomorrow and come over early tomorrow afternoon. After the team reported, Carlesimo led the coaching staff to leave.

"Everyone come and listen to me." Stephen stood in the center of the field and gave orders. Even though it was a preseason game, he had to mobilize before the game. No one dared to offend Stephen's position as the boss, but he was full of dissatisfaction. The players gathered around.

"In the new season, we need a new start. I believe everyone has seen the reports that doubt us. If you haven't seen it, it is at the door of the locker room. You can go and see how people doubt us. , we need to counter their doubts, and at the same time the team and the fans also need our rewards, so tomorrow's game, although it is only a preseason game, I hope everyone can play it as a regular season or even playoffs , Hey, who are you and how did you get in?"

Stephen was talking, when he suddenly found someone's eyes moved to one side, then turned his head to look, and found that at some point, a pretty and capable female reporter was standing beside her, holding a camera to herself, holding a root voice recorder.
