After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

Su Jiuyun got up early the next day. He was going to practice more. The club had a training hall near the hotel.

When Su Jiuyun came to the training hall, he unexpectedly found someone who was ahead of him.

For example, Dirk Nowitzki, Carter and others are all there.

"Boss, you are here too!"

"Well, I can't help it, I'm old, come here to warm up and stay in shape!"

Su Jiuyun didn't believe Nowitzki's words. The reason for these two old men was not because of unwillingness.

In the past ten years of cow-horse wars, Nowitzki has been suppressed in general, so it is certain that he will not accept it.

As for Carter, it's simple. Carter is unhappy with the Spurs and Popovich.

If it weren't for Bowen, a scumbag on the court, Carter's peak period wouldn't have been so short, and he wouldn't have achieved the results he has now.

As early as 2000, Carter was stepped on by Bowen, sprained his ankle, and fell to the ground in pain.

You must know that that year was Carter's third season. His scoring average had reached 3 points per game, which can be said to be a period of rapid growth.

But it was Bowen's tiptoe that caused his growth to suffer a blow.

In the next two years, he also suffered from Bowen's stepping on him. In these two years, Carter's scoring average dropped to between 20 and 22, which can be said to be a direct decline.

In 2004, Carter was stepped down by Bowen again. After the game, he could only walk on crutches. He angrily accused Bowen of being a murderer.

In 2005, Bowen stepped on Carter again, which made him intolerable.

It can be said that Carter should be one of the stars who suffered the most from Bowen.

Although his stepping on the foot will not cause Carter to be seriously injured, his athletic ability, psychological shadow, etc. have affected his career. .

Therefore, it is a lie that Carter has no objection to Popovich letting Bowen do such dirty behavior.

"It was me who dragged everyone down yesterday, otherwise we would have had a chance with Dirk's performance yesterday."

Carter patted Su Jiuyun on the shoulder and said:

"Su, you hesitated, you were afraid that you wouldn't make a shot, you were afraid of challenging Tim Duncan to challenge Leonard's defense.

This affects the feel of your hand.

Of course, your current shooting has shortcomings, but you are still young and you can play in a different way. "

Nowitzki agrees with Carter's words.

"Not only did you hesitate, but everyone hesitated to shoot.

You must know that this is the Spurs, and their defensive discipline has always been one of the best teams in the league.

If you don't take action decisively when the opportunity arises, you will end up having to take action against their defense. In that case, the efficiency will be even lower.

Therefore, we should be more resolute and decisive in our actions in the next game. "

Throughout the morning, Su Jiuyun was thinking about the personal opinions of Nowitzki and Carter as long as he was resting.

He recalled the remarks made by the two people, including watching the video analysis last night.

He felt that last night's game against the Spurs, although not as physical as the Nuggets, was more skillful.

The Spurs' defense, flanking, and blocking on the offensive end can be said to have analyzed his playing habits.

Because he plays point guard, he not only has to score, but also has the task of organizing and connecting the team. He always feels that he has to play more reasonably.

But when facing the Spurs, you can't be too reasonable. My previous analysis of playing against the Spurs was to shoot, but when it came to the game, I thought too much.

Precisely because he thought too much and wanted to pursue the so-called rationality, he was choked to death in the face of the Spurs' targeted defense.

Su Jiuyun again thought of the various unreasonable and unreasonable offensive methods used by Curry, Durant, Kobe and others in the game against the Spurs, and he gradually understood what he should do.

At the beginning of the afternoon training session, Carlisle called everyone together and took out the tactical board.

Looking at this battle, everyone knows that this is a major adjustment to the original tactics.

“In the past game, we were suppressed by the opponent on both offense and defense. This is a problem with our coaching staff.

Now we re-adjust the tactics on both offense and defense.

On the offensive end, as long as everyone gets an open opportunity, they must shoot decisively, and at the same time, give Su more pick-and-roll screens. If one person can't do it alone, use a double screen..."

"Su, at the same time, you need to increase the proportion of you playing without the ball. By then, whether you are cutting inside or running out of space under the cover of your teammates, it will be easier and more confusing."

While talking, Carlisle also drew a lot about how he should move when playing without the ball, and how his teammates should help him with the ball.

For example, how to help him block the chasing defensive players while passing the ball to him from teammates in various positions or hitting the ground at close range, etc.

This always made Su Jiuyun feel a familiar sense of sight. After thinking about it, isn't this the same routine that the Warriors often used to provide Curry with off-ball screens in the past few years?

Sure enough, the routines in the NBA are all fixed. Which coach doesn't understand these routines?

It's just understanding, but how to use it is the aspect that reflects a coach's ability.

In fact, Carlisle knew that Nowitzki could no longer kill his opponent. The last game had already illustrated this problem.

Including the period when Su Jiuyun was absent at the end of the season, Nowitzki alone could not maintain a 50% winning rate.

The same goes for the first two games of the playoffs.

There's nothing I can do about it, I'm getting old, although when I feel good I can play as efficiently as I did yesterday.

But no matter how efficient he is, he can no longer change the opponent's defensive formation, because everyone knows that you can't last long.

If you can't change your opponent's defensive strategy, it will be difficult to win the game.

But Su Jiuyun is different. His style of play and his impact will definitely change the opponent's defensive strategy.

This is the key to the Mavericks' victory.

“Defensively, we can’t switch our defense infinitely when facing Tony Parker, who is the core of the current Spurs team’s offense.

Su, no matter who comes up to cover Tony Parker, you just step back and go around the screen to block his breakthrough route.

Didn't the Spurs ask you to shoot long-range baskets? Then we will also drive Parker to shoot long-range baskets.

......."

Su Jiuyun looked at each other, was this using magic to deal with magic?

But he is a little worried. He has seen the opponent's data analysis. In the past season, Tony Parker's mid-range shooting created a personal career high of 47.2%.

What is the concept of a mid-range shooting percentage of 47.2%?

Among players who have made at least 160 mid-range shots this season, only Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki, Luke Ridnour, and Ibaka have a higher mid-range shooting percentage than Parker.

However, his shooting percentage from mid-to-long range is below 4%, and his half-shot shooting percentage is 44%.

Su Jiuyun didn't know what Carlisle was thinking. Wasn't this asking him to compare himself with Tony Parker?

"Uh... Coach, Tony Parker's mid-range shooting percentage this season has reached 47. Do you really want to let him shoot mid-range and long-range shots?"

Carlisle couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su Jiuyun, "Su, are you just a decoration? Can't you interfere with him a little?"

"Hahaha......"

There was laughter at the scene because this was the first time Carlisle had trained Su Jiuyun, a model student.

Su Jiuyun smiled awkwardly.
