After the game against the Sacramento Kings, Carlesimo felt that the team's record was good, the players were familiar with each other, and they were able to work together to cope with the game. At the same time, their own prestige was also established. I don't have to worry about them defying themselves, so I started to make major adjustments to the team.

Although this style of play has achieved good results, if it keeps playing like this, Stephen is too tired to rely on Stephen's performance alone for a season, and it is easy to be guarded by the opponent. At the same time, Carlesimo It is also necessary to prepare in advance for Stephen's poor condition or in case of injury, so it is very necessary to establish a system with more scientific rotation and more reasonable ball possession.

When there are no players who can share the pressure of Stephen's scoring, it is also a good choice to use a system to share it. The first goal of building this system is to reduce Stephen's playing time from the current 41 minutes to about 5 minutes. The standard playing time of the league's core players.

Although Stephen has not suffered any injuries so far, after coming out of the Spurs, Carlesimo naturally learned that it is better to eliminate the injuries in advance than anything else, so he decided to do it now. His original plan was to act only after the team had no hope of entering the playoffs at the end of the season. He never thought that the team's record would be so good.

Of course, the No. [-] in the Western Conference has not been locked yet, and the position of the head coach of the Western All-Star Team in the All-Star Game has not yet been obtained. Naturally, Carlesimo will not make changes now, but there is still no problem in designing drills in advance, and taking advantage of it At this time, even if the practice caused fluctuations in the record, it was not a big problem, because only one-third of the regular season was played, and there was still enough time.

Don't look at the first goal, which is very difficult to achieve just by saving Stephen a few minutes of time. You must know that with Stephen's scoring efficiency, a few minutes is a steady score. In normal games, a few points It determines victory.

This season, the Supersonics ranked fourth in the league in points per game, and ranked No. 11 in the league in points lost per game. There was only a gap of [-] points between one positive and one negative. Win each other by [-] points.

Once Stephen plays these 5 minutes less, and if he loses these five points, it means that the Sonics' scoring and conceding points are basically the same. With the contributions of his replacement, the Sonics still struggle to maintain their current winning percentage.

As the leader and core player of the team, Stephen's status in the team is not inferior to Carlesimo. Carlesimo has stated in advance communication with Stephen that making such adjustments is not aimed at Stephen. Playing time, in addition to reducing fatigue and reducing the possibility of injury, I hope that Stephen can use the saved energy in the playing time and perform better.

To do this, Stephen must achieve two points in the offense, one is to save energy, and the other is to play smarter and use less energy to score more points. If this is achieved, Stephen Even if it's just a few minutes less, there's no problem.

In a player's long career, not only cannot he always rely on his physical talent to play, but he must also continue to evolve technically, and there are very few people who can do this. After all players enter the league , must accept a test, whether the body and technology can adapt to the confrontation of the alliance.

Those who can adapt will be able to survive in this alliance, while those who cannot adapt or adapt unsuccessfully will either leave the alliance after a contract ends, or become lost in the crowd and become mediocre.

And those who can adapt are divided into different levels according to their physical talents and technical means. Those with amazing talents become superstars, those who are good become star-level players, ordinary people go to get middle-class contracts, and those who are worse are Goof around with a basic salary.

But these are not static. Those who rely on their bodies to play will not last long, and are prone to injuries and restrictions. Although those who follow the technical flow are better, technology is not a panacea. Only those who work very hard can go to the extreme of success.

Among these three factors, hard work is a must. Players who don't know how to work hard will never succeed. The two factors, body and technology, are two completely different paths. The way of raising and lowering, because no matter how good the physical talent is, it cannot resist the erosion of time.

However, technology will only become more and more mature with the increase of time and experience. After relying on the body to play, the performance in the early stage of the career is very good, but the later stage is usually very mediocre. Performance is only going to get bigger.

Among the two, the body can only be maintained as much as possible through continuous hard work and good living habits, while technology can continue to improve, making constant changes according to one's own physical conditions, opponents and league rules. , Michael Jordan can be regarded as the most successful one, and Carlesimo focused on telling Stephen how Michael Jordan's career has undergone technological evolution.

Before the 90s, when Jordan first entered the league, he had the fastest first step in league history, Elgin Baylor's starting speed, Earl Monroe's silky charm, and Dr. J Irving's volley.The combination of these factors is the lightning-like speed and at the same time flexible and elusive breakthrough.

There is no one in the league who is as tall as him and has such a fast speed. In order to defend Jordan, he had to use those short guards who are not as tall as Jordan. The outstanding representative is Joe Dumars of the Detroit Pistons, who is famous all over the world with him Yes, there is also the famous "Jordan Rule". The reason why the "Jordan Rule" was introduced is because he couldn't guard against Jordan alone.

As a strong team in the Eastern Conference, during the 90s, the Pistons have been playing the role of the Bulls blocking the way. Jordan can score [-], [-], and [-] points when facing them, but he cannot break through the Pistons team defense.

However, as Jordan gradually grew up, he became more and more terrifying. Chuck Daly said this sentence: "I have decided that Jordan can no longer kill us alone." So the "Jordan Rules" came out, and the result That is, since then, in the seventeen games that the Bulls and the Pistons met, Jordan averaged 28 points per game, and the Pistons won fourteen of them, and the three games they lost were because the Pistons did not implement the "Jordan The three scenes of "law".

"Jordan's Law" is a set of very strict and targeted defensive tactics. It is so subtle that it is outrageous. It is specially invented for defending a player. Jordan is the first one. Simply put: When Jordan is one-on-one, force him to move to the left to avoid his more terrifying right-side drive; when trying to pick and roll, double-team with big men to maintain contact; when post-up, triple-team; Jordan runs without the ball When trying to get rid of it, Lambiel stepped forward to force him away from the basket, and Dumars was close to him; Thomas played illegal defense at any time and tried to double-team Jordan.

This set of tactics requires the participation of all the Pistons on the field, as well as various small movements and physical contact, but even so, it is still not enough to completely limit Jordan's offense, but it can prevent the Bulls from getting Victory, from this point of view, they are successful, and the reward for success is two championships.

Except for the Pistons, the short and fast guards such as Moncrief and Dennis Johnson can cause trouble for Jordan, because it is impossible for people of the same height and level as Jordan to catch up with his speed.And using a short guard to deal with Jordan is to make it difficult for him to break through and force him to make jump shots from the outside. As we all know, Jordan's outside shots are not good.

No matter how many points Jordan can score, including that season when he averaged 37 points per game, his shooting has always been his weakness, and the main way for him to score points is to attack the basket, break through, and constantly break through to the basket. No one can stop him, the only one who can stop him is himself.

So starting in [-], Jordan began to make changes. His upper body strength increased, and his shooting posture changed. He tried to focus on outside jump shots in offense, and the emergency stop jump shot became his main scoring method.After a year of adjustments, his mid- and long-range shooting posture has become the standard shooting action now, no longer leaning forward, slightly leaning back, stable, smooth, and concise.He has successfully transformed from the best drive player in the league to the best mid-range shooter.

After his jump shot stabilized, there are no one-on-one defenders who can defend him. The one who can fight him is basically a single-defense player plus an inside group. Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks, and Seattle Supersonics are all like this. The period when he won the first three championships was an evolution process in which his breakthrough weight decreased and his jump shot became more refined. In fact, at this time, his athletic ability had already begun to decline, but his ability to control the game reached a peak.

After two years in baseball, Jordan returned to the league, but due to the long time away from basketball and the decline in physical function, his athletic ability is only about [-]% compared to before. Not only has it become difficult to break through, but The emergency stop jump shot has also become less stable than before, but Jordan has found another way, that is strength.

Just like the current Kobe Bryant, he has increased his strength to the extreme among guards, so the classic post-up singles and fadeaway jump shots of guards appeared, and at the same time he also developed his left hand. Big guards can no longer defend Jordan, and big and powerful players have become the best choice to defend Jordan.

Carlesimo told Stephen that a player's score is usually divided into two types, one is "normal points" and the other is "key points".Normal points are scored through tactics, while key points are scored at the stalemate, at the end of each quarter or during the lore period, and are basically singled out.If the other eight players spread out and played heads-ups in each round, regardless of whether the audience is willing to watch, the physical strength of the heads-up players will not be able to bear it.

And after Jordan's whole game, you can't seem to see how many offenses he has. He has already scored [-] points, because many times, his points belong to the "normal points" of this kind of team tactics. ", Carlesimo took out a bunch of videotapes of Jordan playing in different periods, and analyzed Jordan's offense without the ball to Stephen step by step.

In the beginning, Jordan just called a teammate to help cover and cut in. Whether it was left or right, he could take off and dunk after receiving a pass; in the early 90s, it became a cut and catch around the left and right waists of the penalty area. After that, he put on a threatening posture and then broke through, and the bottom line catches the ball and cuts in.In the later stage, most of the time I saw Jordan attack with his back to get a position and then turn over and lean back directly after receiving the ball. That is because he was ready to get stuck, squeeze space, and adjust his pace before receiving the ball.

Therefore, Jordan has achieved such a great achievement because he has been evolving.After he lost his athletic ability and physical strength.Relying on his skills, experience and will, he is still unrivaled in scoring. After spending an afternoon, Carlesimo told Stephen a lot, and then asked: "Stephen, do you understand? Are you ready?"
