Chapter 320 VII Approaching the New Season

After all adjustments inside and outside, Chris Mullin and his team began to think about another group of members, the coaching staff (the latest chapter of Excalibur).

Chris Mullin has no opinion on the team's head coach Nelson, but he is still a little dissatisfied with the assistant coaches, because the style of these coaches is too similar to that of Nelson. On this point, he and Yang Shuai have different ideas Coincidentally.

The old Nelson is good at offense, and several of his assistant coaches are also inclined to attack. This has caused the Warriors to focus on offense now, and their defense is not good at all.

Chris Mullin had talked with Nelson before adjusting the lineup. He hoped that the team could properly strengthen defensive training. Of course, his proposal was immediately rejected by Nelson.

Who is old Nelson? Since he left the position of head coach of the Bucks, he seems to have left the defense behind. In his dictionary, offense has begun to occupy more and more important points. In recent years, he He completely abandoned defense and only thought about offense.

Now Chris Mullin suddenly proposed to him to defend. With old Nelson's stubborn personality, how could he accept it.

This problem bothers Chris Mullin, because he knows that to really improve a team's defensive strength is not to introduce many good defensive players, but to form a defensive atmosphere in the team.So in the next period of time, Chris Mullin almost took the trouble to find the old Nelson, hoping that this stubborn old coach could change his mind a little, but with little success.

But one day, when Chris Mullin approached Old Nelson again, he found that the opponent was not as tough as the previous rejection. He didn't have much feeling at the time, and later Old Nelson agreed to increase his defensive training When the conditions are met, he really becomes strange.

There is a very key person in the old Nelson's change. This person is Yang Shuai (read the full text of the dark night epic).

After losing to the Lakers in the playoffs, Yang Shuai carefully watched the seven games between the two teams, and then he watched the video of the 82 regular season games this season.Yang Shuai can clearly find that in these games won by the Warriors, although some of them were due to their strong offensive power, most of the games were because their defense was better than the games they lost.

This kind of goodness may not be particularly obvious, but careful observation can still be found. A very simple statistic is that when the opponent's score does not exceed 100, the Warriors' winning rate is as high as 70.00%.

Yang Shuai believed that the old Nelson would not be clear about this, because the statistics of the NBA are very professional and detailed, and the old Nelson must have known it, so Yang Shuai took this inference and selected a few targeted games to find him. Old Nelson.

Like Chris Mullin, Yang Shuai did not expect how stubborn the old Nelson would be. The old Nelson admitted that what Yang Shuai said was true, and he also admitted that a good defense would bring the team victory, but his team unnecessary.

When Yang Shuai kept telling old Nelson that the other party still refused to agree, handsome Yang's anger also began to rise. Although he maintained restraint, he still said angrily: "Coach, I recognize your greatness, but your greatness One more thing is needed to prove it, it’s called the O’Brien Cup! The team needs to defend, it’s just a matter of your words, you don’t need to accompany the players to train defense, and you can even leave the defensive arrangement to the assistant when you are on the court Coach, all you need is a word. I have always believed that in the face of victory, all tactics are empty talk. Our offense and our defense are for nothing, for nothing but victory.

We can still maintain a gorgeous offense and then have an effective way to limit the opponent when we need to, it's as simple as that.I never thought that a strong defense was accompanied by a dull offense, why can't we do both.

Coach, I like the current Warriors very much, but I think that such Warriors are only half of my level. I can do better than now, if my defensive ability can be reflected. "

When Yang Shuai left with a gesture similar to slamming the door, the old Nelson's face was a little livid. As an old NBA coach, few players dared to speak in such a tone in front of him and leave in this way (my zombie guardian God latest chapter).However, five minutes later, the livid look on Old Nelson's face completely disappeared, replaced by a smile: "This guy!"

How much does Old Nelson like Yang Shuai?Maybe he didn't know it himself, but when he found out that he had promised Chris Mullin to trade Biedrins away, and found that he had promised Chris Mullin to hire a new assistant coach, he realized that he might be too I like Yang Shuai too much.

But after one season, Old Nelson thought that Yang Shuai was worth the gamble, especially his speed of improvement surprised Old Nelson. Old Nelson even guessed that Yang Shuai had some secrets hidden in him.Of course, he was not interested in exploring these things. What really interested him was how far Yang Shuai could grow under his hands.

Didn't Yang Shuai say that the current warriors can't show his strength yet, so old Nelson gave him space.

The selection of the coaching staff has a lot of opinions on the head coach. When the old Nelson nods, Chris Mullin can continue his transformation plan for the team.

Old Nelson agreed with Chris Mullin to hire an assistant coach, but he himself was not interested in defensive training, so even if Chris Mullin invited a new assistant coach to help train the defense, Old Nelson just agreed Set aside a small amount of time for defensive drills, and those things will be done by the assistant coaches.

Chris Mullin doesn't care about this, as long as the old Nelson is willing to hire a defensive assistant and leave some training time for the defense, he is very satisfied.

Chris Mullin has started his process of finding an assistant coach again, and in fact, he already has goals before deciding on these.

Chris Mullin's first target was Kurt Rambis, the Lakers' assistant defensive coach last season. After the finals against the Celtics in 08, Phil Jackson realized that his team's defense was lacking, so he specially set up an assistant coach in charge of defense, and Kurt Rambis was This assistant coach (read the full text of Ansheng Sanguo's petty bourgeois life).

After Kurt Rambis' training, the Lakers' defense did improve a lot last season, so the Lakers executives also value Kurt Rambis's position very much. It is not easy for the Warriors to dig a corner.

Although it was not easy, Chris Mullin still chose to take the shot, because from the news he got, Kurt Rambis actually did not object to leaving the Lakers.But what Chris Mullin didn't expect was that it was too late for him to start.

Kurt Rambis did leave the Lakers, but he was not accepted by the Warriors. He went to cold Minnesota, and the Timberwolves poached Kurt Rambis earlier than the Warriors.

With Kurt Rambis out, Chris Mullin set his sights on another team.The Cleveland Cavaliers, where Yang Shuai’s rival James belongs, has been one of the league’s strongest defensive teams in recent years. Among them, Mike Brown has a reason, but there is another person whose contribution cannot be ignored. He is assistant coach Mike Malone. .

Mike Malone has been focusing on defensive training since he entered the NBA. He wanted to be the coach of the NBA team, but the opportunity never came. He left the Cavaliers and went to the Warriors. Prove your strength to all nba teams again.

The assistant coach Chris Mullin most wanted to dig was Celtics defensive coach Tom Thibodeau, but Thibodeau rejected his invitation early on, and now he has dug Mike Malone, Chris Mullin also I am very satisfied.

Chris Mullin didn't intend to inject only this injection of fresh blood into the coaching staff. Just as he was thinking about how to strengthen the coaching staff again, an old department of Old Nelson came to his door.

The old Nelson, who advocated offense, has brought out many famous basketball stars. These people are all well-known figures in offense. Among these famous basketball stars, there is only one who is convincing in defense. His name is Sid Nicky Moncrief.

Moncrief is the only player who has excellent offense and defense among the players under the leadership of Nelson. How strong is his defense?

Most of the NBA's best defensive player awards belong to small forwards, power forwards, and centers. There are only four best defensive players in guards, and three of them are very famous. They are Michael Jordan, Gary Payton, El Wen - Robertson, and the other is Sidney - Moncrief.

Bird Larry Bird called Moncrieff "the toughest opponent of all."

A generation of basketball god Michael Jordan also commented on Moncrief. He once said: "Playing with him is destined to be an all-round confrontation all night. He is like a hound. He will try his best no matter on the offensive or defensive end. bite you."

In the 1982-1983 season, the NBA set up the best defensive player award for the first time, and Sidney Moncrief was the first two winners of this award, so many people thought that this award was specially created by the league to honor Moncrief. established.

Moncrief loves basketball, and has been thinking about reintegrating into the basketball circle after retiring. He was a player of the Bucks when Nelson was coaching the Bucks, and then followed Nelson as an assistant coach in the Mavericks. Now, he has come to warrior.

Mike Malone's task was to help the team build a defensive system, and Moncrief's task was to pass his defensive skills to the Warriors players, especially the players on the back line.

After adjusting the lineup, the Warriors' coaching staff has also been adjusted, and the pace of the new season is slowly approaching.

Entering the last day of September, players returned to the players to report one after another. On the second day, the training camp officially started. In the next month, NBA teams will conduct training camps and preseason games. These adjustments for this season It is especially important for the Warriors who have lost their lineup.

During this period of time, the Warriors will determine the team's final roster and starting lineup. It is also a critical moment for the players to familiarize themselves with the team's tactics and cultivate mutual understanding. In another month, the regular season will start and the Warriors will usher in a new season. Shuai also continued to show the world his progress, surprising progress.

(ps: The second update is here, it must be updated early tomorrow, and there will be a chapter at two o'clock in the morning.)
