God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 50 Doubt about life

"Tracey, pay attention to your pass timing! Don't stand around with the ball, pay attention to the receiving spots around you. If there are no receiving spots, you have to use your personal ability to directly attack or create the ball. point, do you understand?"

In the empty gymnasium, apart from the loud panting of players and the sound of sneakers rubbing against the ground, there was only Rappers' roar.It's not that he can't see McGrady's talent, but he has always believed that McGrady is suitable to be a pure scorer. If Chang Wei hadn't insisted on it repeatedly, he would have directly used Brand as a playmaker.

Chang Wei looked at McGrady who was still at a loss, and shook his head regretfully.In fact, under his special training, McGrady's passing ability has improved a lot, and he can often pass stunned good balls, but he has never learned how to balance the energy of scoring and organization, or forget to pass. The ball, or forget to shoot, this is not Chang Wei's original intention.

With another unnecessary pass from Tracy McGrady, Rappers had to suspend the halftime offensive and defensive drill.He shouted angrily: "Tracey, what did you pass that ball just now? Is there anyone else under the basket who can stop you? Letting you organize the offense does not allow you to choose to pass the ball at any time, when it is time to attack Use your ability to score points!"

McGrady was angry and ashamed at the same time, he was angry because he had made a mistake again, and what was ashamed was that he had failed Chang Wei's trust.He already knew that the head coach was more inclined to let Brand be the playmaker. It was Chang Wei's insistence that made the head coach agree to try the playmaker tactics, but he didn't meet the requirements at all.

If it weren't for his improved passing skills, McGrady felt that his previous ten years of balls had been for nothing.It is not unheard of for him to be a point forward. Pippen of the Bulls is an excellent point forward, and the origin of this tactic can be traced back to the Bucks in the 80s. The mad scientist Nelson tried many things beyond the times. Tactics. In 1982, Paul Plessy, the No. 20 pick in the first round, was transformed into the first well-documented point forward by him.

In other words, this is a relatively mature set of tactics. McGrady is conceited and talented, but he has never been able to find his own adaptation point. This makes him very frustrated and even begins to doubt himself.Although Rappers was still roaring loudly, McGrady didn't listen to a word, and his heart became a mess.

Seeing McGrady's absent-minded look, Rappers waved helplessly, motioning everyone to rest for a while.He gave Chang Wei a slightly reproachful look. Chang Wei shrugged and said in a low voice, "Mr. Coach, I believe in his ability. Can you give me a little more time to train him? How about a week?" "

Rappers said angrily: "It's not long before the start of the new season. I'll give you another week. How can the team run in? If you really want to train this kid into a qualified point forward, I can give you time, but only three days."

Chang Wei was a little helpless, three days was too short, the difficulty seemed very high!But he quickly adjusted his mentality, and said in a deep voice: "I can't make any guarantees yet, but I want to see Tracy's performance in the team match later, and then make a decision based on his current level." It is decided that if his ability is reached, three days is not impossible."

Rappers also spread his hands like him, but Chang Wei's request is not out of line. If he agrees to three days now, he is undoubtedly overconfident, but if he gives up directly, what is the reason for his persistence? ?

After 10 minutes, Rappers clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly: "Now we start the intra-team match. Tracy, you lead the starting lineup to play point forward tactics, of course this does not include Elton, No. 4 Rafael Boykins will replace the position. As for Elton, you lead the bench to play point center, do you understand?"

Everyone should be shocked. Anyone can see that this is the head coach's need to weigh the pros and cons of the two tactics, and it is also the beginning of determining who will be the core of the team's organization in the new season, Brand or McGrady.Although both of them have secured the team's starting position, who can play as the core of the organization is undoubtedly the top priority.

McGrady clenched his fists secretly, telling himself that he must do his best later.He understands that this is the head coach's test of him. Brand has already proved that he is very suitable to be a playmaker. This time, he is only his opponent. The team match is only held for him. This is also his proof Best chance.

But can he really prove his strength?

Chang Wei was a little worried. McGrady had never proved that he could adapt well to the tactics in the previous half-court offensive and defensive drills. It might be difficult for him to meet Chang Wei's expectations in this real team match.Now Chang Wei's only hope is that the main lineup will not lose too badly. As for McGrady's performance, it depends on him!
As a de facto partner, Brand naturally knows what his actual task is, but although he has no desire to compete, any player will want to prove that he is stronger than his opponent, even if it is his teammate standing opposite the same.So at the beginning of the game, he was very active, constantly mentioning the high position to ask his teammates for the ball, and then commanding his teammates to move.His passing is very common, but every time he can give it to teammates who are everywhere, making Rappers on the sidelines nod again and again.

On the other hand, McGrady is still at a loss. Although he leads most of the team's starting lineup, they are always suppressed by the substitute lineup led by Brand. Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable. .

The reason lies in McGrady. He either passes the ball when he shouldn't pass, or he attacks when he shouldn't. He didn't grasp the timing that Chang Wei repeatedly emphasized before.Of course, he has worked very hard to balance the relationship between offense and organization, but it is a pity that he has not grasped the essence of it.

However, Chang Wei still saw some shining points in him. Maybe others think this is very common, but it is really not easy for McGrady. For example, he is willing to take passing as a priority. It's hard to imagine.Perhaps, it is not impossible to train this guy well in three days?

While looking at the sweaty McGrady on the field, Chang Wei said to Rappers: "Mr. Coach, I promise, give me three days, and I will return you a qualified point forward. As long as you authorize me, I will Can do it!"
