One Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty-Five. Something Seems to Be Wrong?

"No defending champion would choose to train young players and adjust the core structure in the defending season after two consecutive championships..."

Coach Hollins himself felt that his idea was a bit too alternative.

In fact, there are huge obstacles to doing such a thing.

A not-so-good example is that in the summer of 1997, after the Bulls won two consecutive championships, their general manager wanted to help Jordan find a successor to maintain the continuity of the core of the team when Jordan was already 34 years old. .

At that time, the Bulls wanted to trade Pippen for McGrady.

But Jordan refused.

Players are also selfish. They will be willing to contribute to the team, but they will not want to help the team lead young people at the expense of their current opportunity to create three consecutive championships.

Of course, Jordan eventually helped the Bulls complete three consecutive championships, and the 1997-98 season was his magical year.

This is just a success. For others, let alone the two consecutive defending champions, even the one-time defending champion will not talk about cultivating new players during the defending season.

This involves issues of interest.

The management will also consciously avoid such team strategies that may cause internal strife.

Coach Hollins' decision to make such a decision without being opposed by the coaching staff and recognized by the management is based on the fact that both Bears have gained weight this year.

Coach Hollins doesn’t know if it’s luck or misfortune.

The complicated road to defending the title, with its twists and turns and difficulties, is difficult for fans and media to understand.

…

Game day has arrived for the third game of five consecutive away games.

On the morning of the 20th, Sun Ce and his teammates came to the Staples Center for a meeting at 9 a.m.

When coach Hollins announced that he would increase the emphasis on the outside trio and play more outside until the injuries and physical crisis on the inside were resolved, the players took an accepting attitude towards this matter.

Currently, there are only four serious insiders available: Yi Jianlian, Gasol, Larry Sanders, and Gobert. Among them, Gobert is a backup option.

The other three people's physical strength was terrible, but they were all average.

Gasol is definitely the type with extraordinary talent. Unlike Randolph, who is fat does not affect his speed. Whether he is fat or not does not affect the length of time he plays. He has long been accustomed to the slowness of a fat body. Rhythm play.

But with such a large tonnage, the physical strength is not much better. A game is played against the sky for more than 30 minutes, and to ensure efficiency, twenty-five or six minutes is appropriate.

Of course, this is based on the fact that the Grizzlies don't need Gasol to stand on it and stay up for a long time. Most of the stars in the league have to do one thing, that is, their physical strength has declined and they still have to stay on the court. Learn to mitigate physical crises on the court.

Because even when they can't play, they still need to act as a threat on the court. The outside is usually an offensive threat, and the inside is usually a defensive threat.

Larry Sanders and Yi Jianlian have average physical strength. The former must ensure offensive efficiency and the latter must ensure defensive efficiency. The playing time should not exceed 24 minutes at most, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain.

This kind of rotation of the Grizzlies is difficult to see in other teams.

But the Grizzlies have always emphasized efficiency. In the 11-12 season, with such a brutal schedule, they relied on this to ensure their health. When they win the championship, no one will complain about such a rotation, even if it is Sacrifice your own data.

But after getting used to it, it is not appropriate to suddenly want to increase their playing time, because teammates are used to the good sides they show.

So, this is good news for Gobert, he will get some opportunities.

Moreover, it is not only a good opportunity for Gobert or the three young outside stars, but also an opportunity for the entire outside line!

Because the main three players are on the outside, it is impossible to have these three people playing on the court all the time. It is just that the rotation has changed from focusing on the inside to focusing on the outside.

In the past few games, outside rotations were arranged based on inside combinations such as Larry Sanders and Randolph, Prince and Gasol, Yi Jianlian and Richard Jefferson, etc.

Now it has become a formation based on the three young players on the outside.

Then you must try more outside combinations, and Livingston, who has organizational skills, and Hardaway Jr., who has the ability to catch and shoot, may get more opportunities!

Moreover, this is really a change that can temporarily alleviate the impact of injuries to the team. The strength may decline, but it will not cause the outside rotation to become rigid because of the need to match the inside combination with fewer injuries.

…

…

"Paul, why don't you look very happy about getting more opportunities? Did you not satisfy the nurse lady that night?"

"..." Paul George rolled his eyes at Sun Ce and responded: "I'm worried about the team. Lord, do you think this is a good arrangement?"

After the tactical meeting, the coaching staff initially arranged several tactical drills for rotating lineups around the perimeter.

The rotation strategy has changed, but what kind of lineup is used and how to use the characteristics of the players will not change.

In the middle, Paul George discovered a problem and said to Sun Ce: "I think we did this because we had no other choice. This may be the solution the coaching staff came up with under the worst circumstances."

"It's good enough if it works. It's better to have a way to temporarily ease the crisis than nothing. Besides, I can't always rely on Zach and Mark. I've accepted their weight problem. They may play more at the end of the season and in the playoffs. I have to rely on you and Klay in the future."

Thinking of Randolph and Gasol, two bears who have no self-discipline and often secretly eat junk food and even eat cream cakes and barbecue with oil dripping during the season, Paul George nodded: "Maybe this is the development trend of our team. You are right. Zach is 32 years old. His role should be played in the playoffs."

"Yes, we can show our abilities more in the regular season. You said that you, me and Klay, can the three of us average 70 points per game like James, Bosh and Wade? Klay and I now average 52 points per game. You are the only one missing. You only average 14 points per game."

"I'm really sorry for holding you back!"

Paul George couldn't complain. He was trying to learn to pass the ball and create better shooting opportunities for these two people!

Sun Ce even complained about it!

However, when I think of the trio averaging 70 points per game... even the James-Wade-Powell trio only did it in the first year of their formation... it's exciting to think about it if they can do something like this.

Suddenly, Paul George felt that something was wrong with what Sun Ce said? It didn't seem to be the sentence just now... but what was wrong?
