Chapter 1065 1064. The Second Part of the Inheritance of the Two Evil Spirits (Please Vote for Recommendation)
The inheritance of the two evil spirits is here again!
As Stockton said, Liu Mang knew that since Boozer left, the Hawks' pick-and-roll cooperation has become less and less, and the pick-and-roll is just a simple two-person cooperation, instead of Liu Mang or Stockton and Boozer leading the second lineup to lead the whole team to attack together as before.
Of course, except for Boozer's departure, the former main role players have basically left or retired. The Hawks had almost a brand new lineup last season, and they were anxious to run in. They had no time and energy to rebuild the pick-and-roll system. After all, it took almost two years to build it.
However, Liu Mang wants to change his playing style this season, starting with organizing the offense, and there is a need to play pick-and-roll.
Now Josh Smith is strong enough to be the starter of some teams. The Hawks occasionally use him as the starter. He has a good body and is active in cutting. Although he has no shooting ability, he can be used as a poor version of Stoudemire. Stockton and Coach Kruger studied for a while and felt that Josh Smith could be put into the pick-and-roll system as a poor version of Stoudemire.
The main reason is that the training of Josh Smith from the beginning is to let him enhance his ability to finish at the basket, his awareness of cutting in, and his rebounding rush in the second offense. Unlike the original Hawks coaching staff, they did not change his playing style every few days because they saw that Josh Smith had talent, so his progress was much faster than before. In the original time and space, Josh Smith only had a stable scoring ability in the fifth year of his career. Before that, his hit rate was not as good as that of a guard. In the first four years, Josh Smith had a hit rate of only 43%, and his hit rate at the basket was just 50%.
In this time and space, Josh Smith's hit rate this season is as high as 56%, and his hit rate at the basket has reached 60%, which is already a very good finisher at the basket.
Moreover, Rasheed Wallace's three-point shooting has improved a lot. He cooperates with Liu Mang in pick-and-roll, shooting and assisting from the outside. He occasionally plays, but not much, and needs to strengthen cooperation in this aspect.
In addition, there is the rookie David Lee with excellent skills. Whether it is mid-range shooting or cutting in, he is very suitable for pick-and-roll with Liu Mang. He is a poor version of Boozer... although he is very poor.
We were on a winning streak before, so it was not suitable to make large-scale changes to the style of play. Now that the winning streak has ended, we can start making drastic changes.
After 26 consecutive wins, Coach Kruger is on a roll again, following Liu Mang.
Coach Kruger explained the new style of play that the team is about to start. David Lee and Josh Smith were very happy, and their tactical status has been greatly improved!
Rasheed Wallace is okay. He was the absolute core of the Trail Blazers back then. He has been the core enough. Now he doesn't care about these things, but he will be happier if he has more opportunities to touch the ball.
And this style of play will not affect Iguodala and McGrady's secondary pass, and will increase their scoring opportunities. There is nothing to object to, anyway, they are not the boss.
As for the pitchers and centers, they are already catching the ball and shooting, so there is no change.
The Eagles have been winning streak, which also gave the coaching staff enough time to build a new system for Liu Mang. The pick-and-roll system is definitely different from the pick-and-roll system when there are natural pick-and-roll players like Boozer, so the two evil spirits need to put on training clothes again to guide.
"Okay, let's let John and Carl demonstrate first. Ace, David, Rasheed, Tracy, Jason, Jose, you look carefully, John and Carl, you are in the same team with Brent, Robert, and Alonzo, Andre, Tyshawn, Keller, Josh, Kwame, you are in the same team, go warm up first." Coach Kruger assigned the sparring lineup.
"Old man group and youth group?" Seeing this lineup arrangement, Liu Mang couldn't help but complain.
The five old men immediately stared at Liu Mang with vicious eyes at the same time.
"Ahem," Liu Mang immediately turned his head and said to the youth group who started warming up: "Don't be beaten by a group of old men! Otherwise it will be too embarrassing!"
Having said that, Liu Mang immediately activated the peak training mode.
"Ding... The host has started the peak training mode. After calculation, John Stockton can temporarily recover to the state of 35 years old, Karl Malone can temporarily recover to the state of 36 years old, Robert Horry can temporarily recover to the state of 31 years old, Alonzo Mourning can temporarily recover to the state of 31 years old, and Brent Barry can temporarily recover to the state of 29 years old. According to the number of people, 12,000 rogue points are consumed per minute, and less than one minute is calculated as one minute."
"Damn! It's expensive!" A 15-minute training session costs more than 100,000 to nearly 200,000 rogue points.
Not everyone can maintain such a good physical condition like Jordan when he returns at the age of 39. Even Stockton and Malone can't compare. After resting for more than a year, Stockton and Malone can only reach this level even in the peak training mode.
However, the 35-year-old Stockton and the 36-year-old Malone... one has an ability evaluation of 93, and the other has an ability evaluation of 97... Liu Mang feels that the youth group will be abused to death... 3VP!
However, Liu Mang has no shortage of rogue points. If it weren't for the fact that he could directly choose a talent skill when he got the second talent skill, he would have wanted to draw the lottery after collecting 100 million.
Liu Mang now really wants to see what kind of expressions his teammates will have when they are beaten up by a group of old men...
The main reason is that Liu Mang also thinks that the pick-and-roll is very suitable for their current lineup. They have shooters and players who can cut in. Although there is no top scorer in the interior and the attack under the basket is weak, the pick-and-roll may be more suitable than the 03-04 season when the Hawks were at their peak.
In this way, teammates must know how powerful the pick-and-roll is!
Especially how powerful Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll are!
Several old men had come to the gym to warm up a long time ago. Now when they heard Liu Mang call them "old men", they immediately got angry, and they felt that they were in good condition now. After being suddenly angered, the physical and mental enthusiasm came, and they felt particularly good.
The five old men had received the notice yesterday and had discussed the tactics. Now they discussed the play again and prepared to go up and fight the young people!
...
After the warm-up, the two teams came to the court.
Stockton, Barry, Horry, Malone, and Mourning were in the first team.
Iguodala, Prince, Korver, Josh Smith, Kwame Brown.
The young team has good defense. Prince is one of the top players in the league in single defense. Iguodala, Korver and Josh Smith are excellent in assisting defense. Iguodala is also very good in single defense. Kwame Brown is the top defense under the basket, especially in single defense. It seems that the old team has no chance of winning.
However, the attention of the players of both teams is now attracted by a certain unscrupulous No. 1 player on the sidelines.
Liu Mang was eating melon seeds with five teammates. Seeing that ten people on the court were staring at him, he immediately clenched his fist and raised it and said, "Come on!"
"...￥&...%..."
All ten players on the court were angry. They were eating melon seeds so leisurely on the sidelines!
Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson looked at each other speechlessly.
Putting away their displeasure, the players of both teams focused on the game. The young side did not need to be mobilized. If they were beaten by a group of veterans, they would lose face. There were cameramen and team staff watching nearby. If they lost, it would definitely be passed outside.
The veterans did not have so much motivation at first, and they just wanted to demonstrate the pick-and-roll, but Liu Mang's words filled them with fighting spirit.
There was no such thing as a jump ball. The veterans who attacked first served the ball in the half court. After Stockton received the ball, he came to the top arc, and Prince immediately stuck to Stockton and put pressure on him.
However, Stockton's seemingly thin body was not bad in confrontation! He was not pressured to steal the ball, and his feet continued to move, quickly moving sideways to the right.
Stockton's sideways movement surprised Prince, who seemed to be better than when he was a teammate!
Prince's footsteps were also fast, and he quickly followed, but was blocked by Malone!
There was no need to call for a pick-and-roll or hint. Malone came by himself when Stockton needed a pick-and-roll.
Stockton used Malone's pick-and-roll to quickly get rid of Prince and took a step into the three-point line. At the same time, Malone did not hesitate after blocking. After blocking for a while, he immediately cut in from the middle.
The mobility of the two old men exceeded the expectations of Josh Smith and Prince!
After Stockton attracted Josh Smith to switch defense, he passed the ball to Malone. Malone cut to the basket and Prince couldn't stop him. He was too strong!
Kwame Brown quickly blocked him, and Malone passed the ball to Mourning. Fortunately, the youth team was very active. Iguodala retreated immediately, Mourning quickly passed the ball to the bottom corner, and Barry caught the ball and shot a three-pointer...
Hit!
The first attack of the senior team was perfect!
It was so perfect that they didn't even want to believe it! But they were more motivated!
The youth team attacked, and the senior team's defense was indeed far inferior to their peak periods. In addition, Barry was not a good defensive player, and Stockton's dirty tricks were not suitable for use in the training game. Iguodala broke into the inside and passed the ball to Josh Smith. Josh Smith cut in and attracted the defense and then passed it to Kwame Brown, who dunked and scored two points.
It was the senior team's turn to attack again. The youth team's defense was more active, and they quickly rotated and switched defense. After Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll, Prince and Josh Smith quickly switched defense. Prince went to defend Malone. After Malone received the ball, he crushed Prince to the basket, pushed away Kwame Brown who was defending, and scored two points with a layup!
" # ￥% # ..." McGrady and Rasheed Wallace on the sidelines couldn't help but swear.
Are these old guys so good at playing?
They can't be defended alone, and the senior team's pick-and-roll and passing are very powerful!
The player with the lowest career assists per game in the senior team is Alonzo Mourning, but as a center, he doesn't need to pass the ball too much. The key lies in the other four players. Malone averaged nearly 4 assists per game in his career, Stockton was the historical assist king, Barry was the core of the Sonics before the Sonics got Francis, averaging 5+ assists per game, and Horry was also a good passer.
Under the threat of Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll cooperation, and with such good passes, the youth team was blown up by the senior team!
In 15 minutes and 18 rounds of offense, the senior team made 14 of 21 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and no free throws because they would not call fouls. The senior team scored 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists!
And the youth team only scored 23 points!
With a relatively reasonable lineup, the senior team blew up the youth team!
The art of passing displayed by Stockton and Malone stunned several spectators on the sidelines who might be pick-and-roll ball holders and pick-and-roll players!
Stockton and Malone's grasp of the timing of pick-and-roll and passing timing is too outstanding!
The key is, do you have to be so awesome!
Sorry, I updated a little late. My boss asked me to go out to work in the morning. I didn't get back to the company until 2 o'clock. I quickly wrote a chapter, and then continued to write the next chapter. I updated it before leaving get off work. Please vote!
