Chapter 95 We Can Do This, This, and This
D'Antoni showed a look of extreme interest.

As a coach who always thinks about offense in his bones, D'Antoni has always wanted to develop the offense to the limit, and the point that Davis raised with him today undoubtedly scratched his itch.

"Speak carefully and listen." D'Antoni couldn't wait to let Davis continue talking.

"First of all, Mike, the seven-second offense is just my idea of ​​a certain tactic. Under the current rules, it is difficult to establish." Davis poured cold water on D'Antoni without hesitation. "Under the existing hand-check rules, it is difficult for a team to really reach the seven-second offensive speed, and now, the Magic's staffing cannot meet the real seven-second offensive standard."

Just kidding, DeWeese doesn't think he can achieve the field control ability of Nash, the double MVP of the future, the ability to accurately create difficult passes in a fleeting fast break, like a scalpel, and pass straight into the opponent's heart. Maybe he can do it after several seasons of polishing, but with his current ability, he can't do it at all.

Davis believes that the point guard who can really fit the 7-second offense, except for Nash at his peak, has only his teacher-"Magic" Johnson. Although Johnson may not be as good as Nash in terms of shooting, Johnson is even better than Nash in terms of passing.

After taking a sip of water, DeWeese continued to say to the two people in front of him: "This tactic, we call it small ball tactic for the time being. First of all, it needs five players in the team to have a certain finishing ability and strong athletic ability. The height and weight restrictions doom those big centers who can keep up with the team's fast-paced offense for a certain period of time, but they consume a lot of energy. Therefore, the height of the players should not be very high, which is one of the reasons why it is called small ball tactic."

"If I were to use it, I would let Mason or Rodman play the 5th position, Horry the [-]th position, Scott the [-]rd position, and Anderson the [-]nd position. I would play the [-]st position. I would catch the ball and advance at a high speed at the moment of the possession of the ball. When the opponent's defensive formation is not completed, I will find an open space in the frontcourt, then pass the ball, and finish. If the opponent can keep up, then follow our rhythm. If they can't keep up, then they will play more and less."

Davis plagiarized the representative tactics of the later generations of D'Antoni in that eloquent way. Looking at the two people looking at him mesmerized, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

After talking about the bombardment tactics, Davis looked at D'Antoni who couldn't wait to experiment with the power of this tactic, and knew it was time to pour cold water on him.

"However, Mike, we can only use this tactic now when O'Neal is off the court and there is no strong insider on the opposite court. Because of the hand-check rule, the advancing player is easily restricted by the opponent's defensive player. After advancing to the frontcourt, the opponent may have already settled down. As for why it is used when O'Neal is not on the court, I still say the same thing. Put O'Neal on the court and not use him as the core of the offense. That's what a fool would do."

D'Antoni nodded, what Davis said made sense.

But he couldn't stop him from wanting to experiment with the power of the tactic that Davis described to him. It seemed that there was a thread between him and this tactic. He even felt that this tactic was tailor-made for him.

In just a short period of time, D'Antoni added a lot of tactical details based on Davis' description, and he even simulated the operation of this tactic in his mind.

Davis didn't expect D'Antoni to have fully understood this tactic in such a short period of time. If he knew it, he would be amazed. It really is D'Antoni's exclusive tactic. . .

After talking about the seven-second offense, the three began to discuss the use of the team's core O'Neal again.

"I don't think there is anything to say about the use of O'Neal. Just give him space and let him play singles in his heart. His shooting percentage was already among the best in the league last season. I think his statistics will increase to a certain extent this season." Donovan first spoke and expressed his opinion.

D'Antoni and Davis did not show a very obvious opposition. After all, the epee has no front, and there is no work. With O'Neill's talent and strength, as long as you give him the ball, then just watch him perform in the paint.

But Davis still added: "Next season, in addition to simply handing over to O'Neal for singles, can we also add some things from the Bulls?"

D'Antoni's eyes lit up: "You mean triangle tactics?"

Davis nodded: "We all know that the essence of triangle tactics is to create the most comfortable singles situation through teamwork. If our tactics can add some variants of the triangle offense, then it will be easier for O'Neal to create inside singles or even misplaced situations."

Having said that, Davis picked up the phone on the table: "Call Anna, thank you."

"Regarding this, last season we had several sets of dislocation or cutting tactics specially designed for O'Neal, which already had some shadows of the triangle offense. For more specific things, you can chat with Anna. She is now our team's tactical coach, and her tactical level is very high."

D'Antoni felt that Davis's tactical ability was already very high. He didn't think a woman could have any accomplishments in basketball, but after 10 minutes, he changed his mind.

D'Antoni and Donovan were stunned to see Ana sitting there, narrating the tactics she designed for O'Neal last season.

"She is simply a natural tactical master, but unfortunately she is a girl and cannot enter the locker room. Otherwise, if she is the head coach, all the teams in the league will lose their heads." Looking at the generous and beautiful Anna in front of him, D'Antoni really can't connect her image with the image of ordinary coaches who are bald, stay up late, and slovenly.

Anna was a little unhappy when she spoke, so she went out and got a tactical board, and described her tactics to the three big men with gestures on the tactical board.

The three of them had already turned into students, and all they had to do was take a notebook to take notes.

"We can do this, this, and then this." Anna said while using a marker to draw a running route on the tactical board, and soon, a theoretical open opportunity appeared.

"Do you understand? Here's another variation of this tactic..."

Looking at the eloquent Anna, Davis suddenly had an idea.

"What triangle offense do you still want to learn? Just leave it to Teacher Anna to handle it..."

　This passage should be read after reading the next chapter.

　　Coincidentally, someone gave me a few cigars a few days ago. I heard that they were not cheap. I searched the Internet on how to smoke a cigar, and then found that I had gained knowledge. It turns out that cigars do not pass through the lungs.

　　I suddenly remembered that I smoked a cigar for the first time when I was in school, and I gave it to me when I took a sip. . .I don't know if you guys have had the same experience. . .
