Chapter 53: Hidden Worries (1)
The outside world believes that there may be two reasons for the 76ers' sudden losing streak, one is that the 76ers' state has declined and the run-in is unfavorable, which has led to the 76ers' consecutive failures; Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, only Brett Brown and assistant coach Lloyd Pierce know what happened to the 76ers.
Brett Brown was anxious, and in his office at the 76ers training gym, he looked at Sam Sinki, who pushed the door in, and let out a hoarse voice: "Sam, are you here to ask the reason for the team's losing streak?"
After saying this, Brett Brown immediately cleared his throat, and his voice returned to normal: "There is indeed a problem with the team, but it is not a big problem. ”
Samsinki sat down in the chair across from Brett Brown and nodded: "It's not too much of a problem, I'm just here to ask if the team needs to trade." ”
"Deal...... Brett Brown propped his chin and knocked on the table.
He thinks that the trade is worth considering, because the team's staffing is too poor, which is a bit inconsistent with Brett Brown's tactical requirements, such as outside firepower, in the entire starting lineup, only Anxi has the ability to shoot outside three, and Brett Brown's blocking and cutting tactics, or the Spurs' blocking and cutting tactics, still have high requirements for outside three-pointers, if the 76ers have many three-point shooters on the outside, the game during this period will not be so difficult.
Brett Brown thought about it for a while, but still shook his head and refused, he decided to change tactics first, trading or something, only the last resort.
"There's no need to trade, I want to try to change tactics first. ”
Sam Singki nodded, since there is no need to trade for the time being, then he can't help much now that the 76ers' losing streak is not going to help, and he got up to say goodbye, and at this time, Lloyd Pierce also came.
"Brett, I got the high-position strategy map you wanted. ”
Brett Brown then took a large booklet from Lloyd Pierce and flipped through it.
"Brett, if we go to the high post, then the existing starting lineup will definitely have to be changed, and it's the same problem, we don't have a lot of three-point shooters. ”
Brett Brown nodded, "I know." Then he raised his head: "My idea is not to play high post strategy, but to use Thaddeus or Spencer's high post strategy and covering ability to play a simpler and more efficient offense, not necessarily outside shooting, but also to break through with the ball after an empty cut or hand-to-hand cooperation." ”
Lloyd Pierce nodded thoughtfully.
As Brett Brown flipped through the playbook in his hand, Lloyd Pierce spoke again: "Brett, I still think that our starters need another three-point shooter so that Anxi's offense won't be so tired. ”
Brett Brown nodded unexpectedly: "You're right, Lloyd, but we'll have to put Evan on the bench first." ”
"yes, that's right, let Evan go to the bench, what, is it hard?" said Lloyd Pierce.
Brett Brown put down the tactical manual in his hand, and he finished reading it.
'It's not too difficult, but I have to take into account Evan's thoughts, okay, Lloyd, my idea is simple, Evan doesn't have to go to the bench, he can continue to start, we can add a little bit of open cutting and high post to make it easy to attack, so that our attacking problems can be solved. ”
Lloyd Pierce nodded, he found that he couldn't convince Brett Brown, Evan Turner will obviously continue to start, but think about it, the new season has played so far, although because of the consecutive losses during this period, the 76ers' record has continued to decline, and the record has changed from 6-0 at the beginning of the season to 8-6 now.
Evan Turner's performance has also declined, but after 14 games, Evan Turner is still averaging 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, and the data shows that Evan Turner's performance is still quite good.
Players who average 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game are put on the bench, how unreliable they think.
Brett Brown vetoed Lloyd Pierce's proposal, which is the second time Lloyd Pierce has made this suggestion, and Popovich has previously mentioned that if Jack Crowder starts in place of Evan Turner, then the 76ers' chemistry will be better.
However, Brett Brown is not as bold as much, and the outstanding Evan Turner will continue to be in the starting lineup.
At the end of November, after a three-game losing streak, the 76ers began to practice their new tactics, although they were new tactics, but they actually added several changes, the most important of which was that Thaddeus Young would often appear in high positions and respond to the offense.
The effect of the drill is not bad, the offense seems to be much simpler, unlike the previous offense, all kinds of breakthroughs and balls, but always can't find too good opportunities, and now, almost a high level of cooperation, the opportunity appeared.
However, Anxi felt a little uncomfortable......
After a day's training, the locker room launched a discussion on this set of tactics, Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young talked and laughed, they both felt that this tactical change was very good, Thaddeus Young's tactical position was greatly increased, and now he is the tactical core of the 76ers, and Evan Turner has Thaddeus Young's cover or pass, his air cut or ball breakthrough, it can be more relaxed.
On the other side of the locker room, Anxi got dressed and put on a windbreaker, it was already a little cool in Philadelphia in November, wrapped in clothes, and Anxi slowly walked upstairs.
Brett Brown hasn't rested yet, and his new tactics for the afternoon still need to be perfected, and he plans to gather his coaching staff for a meeting after training in the evening.
Anxi knocked on Brett Brown's door, and after hearing Brett Bron's voice, she pushed the door in.
Brett Brown looked up and saw An Xi, slightly surprised: "An, why are you here, is there something wrong?"
An Xi smiled and nodded: "Yes, Brett, I want to say a few words about the new tactics." ”
Brett Brown was stunned for a moment, and then he somewhat understood what An Xi meant.
The new tactics did have some impact on Anxi, and Brett Brown could feel it, but now he didn't speak, just looked at Anxi and listened, Anxi continued: "Brett, I feel that the new tactics have greatly reduced the number of times I hold the ball. ”
Brett Brown thought about it, it seems that this is true, in fact, once the 76ers change their previous style of play, McCarvey and Evanturner, the two ball-handling players, will get more opportunities to hold the ball, and on the contrary, Anxi, who originally held the ball the most, will be squeezed.
Brett Brown felt a little headache, he knew what Anxi meant, he promised Anxi unlimited right to fire, but in fact, so far in the season, Anxi has not made too many shots, and it is completely based on the team's record.
Under the new tactics, Anxi's number of ball holdings will be greatly reduced, so that Anxi's right to shoot will not be guaranteed.
Brett Brown thought for a while and said directly: "Ann, I will find a way to solve the matter of possession of the ball, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, train hard." ”
An Xi nodded, he just came to reflect his feelings about the new tactics, and the specific problems had to be solved by Brett Brown himself.
Anxi left soon, Brett Brown fell into deep thought, this time, he really had the idea of letting Evan Turner go to the bench, or simply send Evan Turner away in a trade, although this is a little unfair to Evan Turner, but considering the team's record and An Xi's personal performance, sending Evan Turner or letting Evan Turner go to the bench should be the best choice.
After thinking about it for a while, Brett Brown sighed, opened the playbook again, and wrote and drawn......
After Anxi went home, he began a new practice, breakthrough and passing, plus the hook shot on the inside, Anxi's training was still very hard.
Two or three hours later, there was a ding, and the long-lost system prompt sounded again.
An Xi was pleasantly surprised, but soon, the system gave the specific situation of the upgrade, it turned out to be the previously upgraded passing attribute, which was upgraded again.
Upgraded from 60 stat bonus to 65.
Although it is not the breakthrough upgrade that Anxi imagined, this upgrade still makes Anxi very satisfied, because now, he has more reason to ask for the ball, his passing ability is improving, and next, as long as Anxi's breakthrough also improves, Anxi can go from a scorer who can only guarantee his own scoring to a player who can assist his teammates to score together.
Of course, the current Anxi can do this, and Anxi's back singles can be said to be a big weapon.
After Anxi's passing ability was upgraded again, on November 27, the 76ers went to the away court to challenge the Magic.
This season, the addition of Victor Oladipo did not bring much help to the Magic, who are still struggling in the lottery zone, and the current 5-9 record is a slight improvement from last season, but they are still a bad team after all, so the 76ers hope to end their losing streak at the Amway Center.
As the first game of the new tactic, against the Magic in the lottery, Brett Brown has a lot of confidence.
But it often backfired, and two hours later, the Magic defeated the 76ers 105-94 on their home court, ending their two-game losing streak and handing the 76ers a four-game losing streak......
The situation seems to be a little worse, the new tactics not only solve the 76ers' offensive stubborn problems, but let Anxi follow the dumb fire, Anxi only made 16 shots in this game, hit 7 goals, scored 20 points, and also scored 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, but the team still lost because Anxi got too few opportunities.
