NBA: Come off the bench, save the national team

After completing the adjustment of the lineup, Brooks rebuilt the team's system.

Of course, this is not something that can be done in one training session or in one day. It requires long-term training and the running-in of the players.

To describe it in simple words, it is a chemical reaction.

Only with a good chemical reaction under the new system, can the Thunder be able to perform well both offensively and defensively and complete their transformation.

However, although it is impossible to implant the new system into the Thunder in a short period of time, it is indeed very easy to abandon the original system.

Brooks abolished Carlesimo's system, as well as many complex tactics.

Then, he asked the players to practice several sets of extremely simple tactics in training to prepare for the game against the Magic tonight.

The tactics are also very simple, that is, pick and roll, and form a dislocation advantage after switching defenses, and then let Durant or Qin Feng open the singles.

Pass the ball if you attract the defense, and shoot yourself if you don't attract the defense.

Or Westbrook organizes an offense and breaks through the pick-and-roll to find open opportunities to complete the offense.

These tactics are simple, but effective.

Just kidding, there is a scorer who averaged nearly 40 points per game and a scorer who averaged more than 20 points per game in the team. Is it possible to appreciate it on the court?

Among these tactics, Brooks completely used Qin Feng and Durant as superstars like Kobe and James.

Although the fame and status are not as good as Kobe and James, Durant's data is already at the superstar level.

Needless to say, Qin Feng's offensive ability is definitely at the historical level!

Under these adjustments, the entire Thunder team is full of confidence in tonight's game.

Even if the opponent is the Magic team at the playoff level, there is no fear!

......

After training, the Thunder went directly to Amway Arena, home of the Magic, by bus.

The game is about to start.

Both teams were interviewed by the media before the game.

Thunder team interview room.

All reporters focused on Brooks.

Everyone is curious about what changes Brooks, who became the head coach for the first time, can bring to the Thunder.

"Hey Brooks, this is your first time as a head coach, how do you feel now?"

a reporter asked.

"I am very excited! I am also very honored! This opportunity is hard-won. Facing the team's current predicament, I will work together with the players to get through it."

Brooks said.

He said he was excited, but his expression was very calm and did not show it.

"So how are you going to change the Thunder? Do you have the confidence to turn the Thunder's record around?"

Another reporter asked.

"I will have many strategies to change the Thunder. As for whether it is effective, let us witness it on the field."

"I am very confident in reversing the record of the Thunder. There are many talented players with potential in the team. They put in a lot of effort every game to win! Their desire for victory is the key to the team's victory."

Brooks said, with a smile on his face when talking about the players.

The reporters clicked their tongues secretly.

This emotional intelligence!Fill up directly!

Don't talk about how awesome you are, but praise the players.

I believe this wave of operations has won the favor of the players.

"Then will you lift the ban on Qin Feng's playing time?"

The reporter asked, very curious.

Everyone knows that, not to mention the big adjustments Brooks will make to the team, just increasing Qin Feng's playing time can make the team more likely to win.

"I'll see what happens, let's see what happens in the upcoming games!"

Brooks said, sold a pass.

This made the reporters very uncomfortable. They were most concerned about this question. They didn't expect Brooks to answer directly.

The reporters began to ask Durant and Qin Feng again about the Thunder's coaching change.

Without any suspense, Durant and Qin Feng began to tout Brooks' business...

The Magic interview room.

"Stan Van Gundy, what do you think about the Thunder coaching change?"

the reporter asked.

"As a head coach, I must stand up and say a few words for Carlesimo. There is no problem with his coaching ability, but the Thunder's lineup is really not enough to support them to win."

"So it doesn't matter whether you change the head coach or not. The Thunder's management should spend more time on lineup adjustments."

Van Gundy said that he seemed to be very unhappy with the Thunder's management change.

"Then what do you mean, even if the Thunder change their head coach, the team's record won't improve?"

The reporter asked curiously.

"It could be worse!"

Van Gundy shrugged and said, sarcastically, without mercy.

The reporters' eyes widened.

Worse?

The current Thunder team is already the last player in the West, can it be worse than it is now?

How many games do you have to lose?

"Howard, what do you think of Qin Feng's explosive data recently?"

The reporter pointed the microphone at Howard and changed the subject.

"I have to say that the performance of this Chinese rookie in the NBA is beyond expectations."

"However, I want to say that if you can't help the team win, the data that is against the sky is meaningless."

"Maybe Qin Feng can only be a data brush!"

Howard said, seeming to gloat a bit.

"Then are you confident to win the game tonight?"

the reporter asked.

"Of course, there is no doubt! What qualifications does the Thunder have to compare with our team? Now they have 1 win and 5 losses, which is the worst team in the league."

Howard pouted and said, thinking that the question asked by the reporter was redundant.

Is there suspense?

So what if Qin Feng can score 50 points?Can it help the team win?

Obviously not.

And Qin Feng don't even think about entering the penalty area in this game, as long as he gets to the penalty area, he will be greeted with an indiscriminate block!

Howard thought, full of confidence in this game.

......

After the pre-match interviews, the players of the two teams changed their clothes in the locker room, then ran to the spotlight through the player channel.

All the fans shouted and cheered for the Magic.

Responsible for the game commentary is the famous commentator Mike Breen and Kenny Smith.

The two have already started to prepare for the game.

"I finally saw the players from the two teams appear on the field. This game will be the Thunder's first game after changing their head coach. What changes will happen to them? I'm really curious!"

"I don't have extravagant hopes to win the game. As long as I can see the Thunder show a completely different performance from before, I will be very happy."

"The starting rosters of the two teams have been announced. Brooks has indeed made major adjustments to the Thunder! This starting roster is beyond my expectations!"

"Pelot, Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, Qin Feng, Westbrook!"

"Let's see how the Thunder's starting lineup will react!"
