Chapter 313 Old Hu's Bad Idea
"Ahaha! That's right, that's what I hope. Hu, you know me too well, haha, I should have brought you here long ago! Haha..."

Lao Hu chatted with Cuban for a while, judging from the atmosphere, it really was a joy for the host and guest.

This is mainly because Lao Hu can also speak, and don’t forget that Lao Hu is a reborn person. Although he has no actual contact with Cuban’s personality, various reports in previous lives, coupled with the situation in this life While experiencing, Lao Hu has already figured out Boss Ku.

In addition, Lao Hu still has a lot of investment, so he also talked with Boss Ku about a lot of business matters.Making money is something that everyone is happy about, so it's very natural for Boss Ku to laugh out loud from time to time.

The conversation went smoothly, but in fact it was nothing. Boss Ku's meaning can be summed up in a few words.

I want to win the championship!
This coincides with Lao Hu's goal, and it can be said that the two of them are basically bastards who see mung beans in the same eye.

Then, of course, it was time for other people to talk, but Lao Hu couldn't relax yet, because there was still talk waiting for him.

This time it was with the Mavericks' new head coach, Rick Carlisle.

It was this guy. When we met, Lao Hu seemed to smile, and he wanted to take out a pen and paper and ask Carlisle to sign it.No way, this Carlisle looks so much like Jim Carrey, the more he looks the more he looks like a pair of twins.

"Welcome, Hu. It's great for you to come to Dallas. You know, I've watched a lot of your games, and I'm almost your fan." Rick Carlisle is worthy of being a famous coach. Will praise players.

"Well, thank you, thank you, hehe..." No, Lao Hu couldn't help it. Of course, he knew it was very impolite, but when he thought of Jim Carrey, it was really hard to hold back. .

"Haha, do you think I resemble that guy, right? Haha, yes, we are very similar, but I really have no relationship with him. Haha..." It seems that Coach Carlisle has encountered such things quite often. , 'celebrity face' is sometimes a very disturbing thing.

"Sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but, hehe..."

"Haha, it's okay. Many people say that, haha..."

Carlisle should be used to it, but it seems that his attitude is still quite amiable, so Lao Hu quickly chatted with his new coach.

"What do you think about tactics, Hu? I'd love to hear it."

It's a normal question. After all, Carlisle is new to the team, and Hu Lin belongs to the point guard position of "coach on the field". They must discuss this matter clearly.

As for this matter, Lao Hu had already prepared for it.

Where is the problem for the Mavericks?It is estimated that many people will have the answer.

That's defense!
That's right, it's defense. Even if the Mavericks' offense has made a big deal now, there is no problem on the books. They have always had weapons that can kill opponents, which is recognized by the entire league.

However, their defense is definitely bad enough.

From the perspective of the inside, the Mavericks are not short of height, weight and strength. The tonnage of the "No. [-] center in the West" is there. Even if he can't even hit the basket, this guy's defense is still at the level of a blue collar. of.Coupled with Diop, and Lao Li who is here now, it should be said that the inside line is not bad.

And there are not too many problems on the outside line. Lao Hu's own defense is definitely not bad now. Jason Terry is a little worse due to the height restriction, but from the book point of view, the basic steal data is still good. People can't say anything.

However, the Mavericks' defense is notoriously bad. Even Dallas fans admit that the Mavericks allow opponents to average more than 100 points per game every season. Can this be a good defensive team?
So where is the problem?
Is it because Nowitzki's defense is too 'abstract'?

Of course not, the problem lies in the running and bombing of the Mavericks.

Running and bombing, the most obvious feature is fast, and playing fast requires players to have very strong physical strength to rely on, especially the current rhythm of the NBA.It's not the 80s or 90s now. The rhythm of the NBA is much faster than that time. As De Antoni emphasized, his running and bombing should end the battle within 7 seconds, so players have to run in a game. How many round trips?

Therefore, the problem of running and bombing is procrastination, which is to drag down the opponent and make the opponent unable to keep up with his own rhythm. However, it is also easy to collapse himself.Even at the NBA level, they're not robots.

Moreover, basketball is not a long-distance running, it is more like a sprint, because on the court, especially in the NBA, you must have strong muscles for physical confrontation, and you need explosive power, otherwise, it will be a dead end.

But running and bombing is to let a group of athletes who run [-] meters run a marathon. In this way, who can defend?

But Lao Hu has a way, yes, he has a way.Of course, he didn't come to solve the contradiction between 'running and bombing' and defense. What he wanted to solve was the contradiction between the Mavericks and defense.

Very simple, that is, Lao Hu wants the Mavericks to play 'Zone Defense'!
Zone defense is different from man-to-man defense. It does not require very high personal defensive ability of players. Specifically, as long as you stand there, it is a stand defense.

To put it simply, the advantage of this zone defense over man-to-man defense is that it saves energy!
This is the biggest benefit, and it is also the main reason why Lao Hu hopes that the Bulls can play zone defense.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, in the original history, it was precisely because of the use of zone defense that the Mavericks defeated LeBron James, Dwyane Dwight in the finals of the 11-12 NBA season. En Wade, Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat of the three giants.

Maybe ordinary fans saw Nowitzki in this finals, but as a senior fan, what Lao Hu saw was the defense of the Mavericks.

At that time, the Mavericks used the zone defense, and it was precisely because of this defense that Nowitzki had sufficient strength to attack. Moreover, the "German Chariot", which was itself a European player, was more suitable for the zone defense system.In the zone, Nowitzki's defense is at least less 'abstract'.

Moreover, the most important thing is that NBA officials have revised the rules a long time ago. Although there are three seconds of defense and a reasonable collision zone, zone defense is allowed. This is a legal defense.

The reason why Lao Hu chose to propose zone defense at this time, to be honest, is to let the Mavericks realize this defense one step earlier.However, this is the United States, and American coaches don't trust the zone defense very much.

That's right, that's it. The vast majority of American coaches are believers in man-to-man defense, especially academic coaches, who have a perverted obsession in this regard.

Carlisle is also a master of man-to-man defense. He has always used man-to-man defense to coach the team, but it is ironic that it is precisely because he can't use the zone defense in the end that the Mavericks won the O'Brien Cup. .

Listening to Hu Lin talking here, Carlisle was smiling all the time. It seemed that this guy was quite a qualified listener. Carlisle didn't interrupt him until Lao Hu's mouth became dry.

"Hu, you're right. I didn't expect you to have such a thorough understanding of tactics, and you also have such a thorough understanding of the Mavericks. This really surprised me." Carlisle still kept smiling, but he didn't expect , My own words directly made Lao Hu's back break out in cold sweat.

"Crap! I forgot that I was born again. How could a player from New York know the Mavericks so well? It's a shame, you have to put it away." That's right, the old nonsense just now was so enjoyable that he almost exposed that he was born again Yes, Haoxuan didn't say anything.

So, Lao Hu immediately looked up to the sky and yelled, trying to cover up his mistake.

"Ah, that...haha, it's nothing. The main reason is that the Mavericks ranked first in the regular season last season. I will study it when I have nothing to do, haha..."

"However, it's very good. Although I haven't used this zone defense yet, I'm really tempted to hear you say that." Carlisle seemed very kind.

"Then, the coach is going to play zone defense, haha..." Lao Hu tried his best to play dumb at this time.

"You know, this matter is not so easy, I still think about it, this is really not an easy matter, isn't it?"

"That's right, hehe, I'm afraid I was impatient, haha..." Lao Hu was indeed a little anxious, maybe he was too eager for the championship.

"Haha, it's okay, it's good, we should communicate more often in the future, really, Hu, you're great! We can definitely make a career out of it."

Next, Carlisle was still very good at talking, and he chatted with Lao Hu about some other things, and the first conversation between the two of them was over.

In fact, what Carlisle said is also right. Hu's zone defense is good, but it seems to have a weak foundation if it is changed all at once.

But don't forget that Carlisle has just taken office, and he is not familiar with many players. For example, now, he has to continue to talk to other people, after all, everyone is not familiar with them.

However, Lao Hu's talk is over here, which also makes him relieved, and he can go to meet his new teammates.

It's not bad, Mavericks and his group don't like to find troubles, and besides, everyone is working part-time, so they can make money by being friendly.

The boss of the team, Dirk Nowitzki, is actually not a big boss. Anyway, compared to New York's Marbury, he is much weaker in terms of momentum.Moreover, this guy doesn't like to put on a show, giving Lao Hu the feeling that this is an ordinary man.

A simple, ordinary, normal, playing man, this is Nowitzki.

It's hard to imagine that this guy is the boss of the Mavericks, but Lao Hu has long been prepared, because that's the impression Nowitzki gave him.

　Continue to ask for votes, haha, thank you all.
