The first team practice of the new season made McMillan ecstatic, not because the main team won by a large score, but because the team really played fast and sharp attacking cooperation as he expected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Oh my God, it's unbelievable that Rashad hit six three-pointers today and Ray hit four, all I can say is providence, Nate, he's made for our team!"

Rode, who had reservations about Chamberlain's arrival, was full of praise for the deal at this time, and his mouth never stopped from the end of the team's practice to the way back to McMillan's office.

"Is he really that good?"

Lowry, who didn't watch the team's game, couldn't help but ask in surprise.

In fact, it's not the right word to describe him as brilliant. He may not be a good centre-forward, but for us, he's perfect! ”

Lowry looked at Rod with an incredulous expression, and then turned his inquiring gaze to McMillan, who had not spoken.

But McMillan didn't give Lowry an answer, well, not answering is sometimes an answer.

"But the game just now was not without its shortcomings!"

McMillan, who had an irrepressible look of joy, shrugged his shoulders and said.

The SuperSonics are an offensive team, but McMillan, as the head coach, is a coach with a strong defensive philosophy, and the word defense has also run through his entire playing career.

Rode, who has played for the SuperSonics since McMillan was a player, knew exactly what McMillan was trying to say: "Yes, he's not a good defender, and while he's not afraid of physical confrontation, he's actually better suited to play the role of an assistant. ”

"I think so too, I was thinking about the 'twin towers' when I signed him, and this match has made me even more convinced of that. Zhang can put the ball in the basket and protect the rebounding ball that should be protected, but he can't carry most of the interior players, like Evans, which caused Zhang a lot of trouble today. ”

"I'm going to get James down as soon as possible!"

Lowry, who was in charge of helping Jerome lose weight, took over the conversation, but McMillan shook his head: "No, Jerome is too fat, it will increase his impact under the basket, but he is much slower in comparison, which is important to us now, so I've been thinking about starting Alonzo." Judging from today's match, his technical level has been maintained very well, and his professional attitude has not become perfunctory because of injury, what do you think of this choice? ”

Rod was thoughtful, but Lowry frowned: "I didn't watch today's match, but after a serious illness, there is no problem with his physical strength?" ”

McMillan nodded: "Yes, that's his biggest problem, but we still have Jerome, don't we?" ”

Lowry shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, and Rod spoke: "This may be a good choice, and Alonzo's skills are much better than Jerome's, which will undoubtedly make our opponents afraid to completely trap Zhang." But we have to make sure Alonzo is healthy, Nate, we have to make sure of that, and the NBA headquarters and our shareholders don't want a scandal like that! ”

"Yes!"

McMillan nodded: "That's my biggest concern, otherwise he would have been a starter for the team today." However, I will listen to Alonzo himself, and with the consent of the Medic, adjust our tactics. ”

Naturally, Mourning agreed, and he was determined to return to the basketball court, and he already had that determination. Although when McMillan approached him to ask him about it, he agreed without any hesitation.

In fact, he is also quite eager for the position of the main player.

Fortunately, after a very comprehensive physical examination and a collective discussion among several nephrology experts, it was also believed that Mo Ning's body was recovering very well, and the not particularly intense competition would not have much impact on his health, although he could not overwork.

This removed all obstacles for Mourning to become the superSonic's starting center this season.

As soon as this result came out, McMillan adjusted the team's starting lineup, Mourning replaced Fortson and partnered Chamberlain inside, and the rest of the players remained unchanged.

Also from this day, supersonic began a tactical run-in in the true sense of the word.

There are many problems, and so are the surprises.

There are only two of the team's five starters, and the coordination between them has naturally become a big problem, especially the supersonics, the most tacit projection team, must adapt to each other's teammates' running and technical characteristics.

There's also the experience of Ridno, who is also a sophomore and has made very few appearances, and his handling of the team's tempo control.

There is also the connection problem of the inner and outer lines.

Chamberlain's passing threat on the inside is undoubtedly greater than that of Ridno, so how to ensure that Chamberlain gets the basketball at the right time has become a big problem that McMillan must solve.

And defense.

Offense depends on talent, defense depends on attitude, but the supersonic are now stumped by defense, which has always been thought to be a defense that doesn't require much talent.

In a rebuilding team, the tacit understanding of the players is very problematic, and there is no one in their group who is a real defensive gate.

So here, the difficulty of defense and offense is rarely reversed.

However, despite all the problems, it is impossible to hide the huge advantage of this lineup.

Oxlade-Chamberlain always had the timing of a score or a pass.

Everyone on the field can score and wreak havoc on the opponent's defense.

After Chamberlain and Mourning cooperated, he opened the basket corridor created by the basket.

Ray Allen and Lewis' long-range projections widened the opponent's defensive range and created a single chance for the interior......
