......

A place on the side of the audience.

New York Knicks head coach Pat Riley, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown, Phoenix Suns head coach Paul Westfale, and Houston Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovich got together.

At this time in the NBA, all four teams of the New York Knicks are in the second group under the Chicago Bulls and belong to the championship contenders.

Originally, the Bulls came to Japan for the preseason, and the four coaches did not pay attention to it, but the Bulls' first upset loss to the Japanese men's basketball team ignited their curiosity.

"Rudy, I can't imagine that I really picked up a treasure for you Team Rocket." Larry Brown's heart was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Luck, luck!" Of the four, Rudy Tomjanovich couldn't keep his mouth shut.

......

In the front row of the audience, everyone in Xiangbei sat together.

Mr. and Mrs. Anzai, Satoru Tsunoda, Tadashi Yamada, Tsuyoken Akagi, Kotoshi Mitsui, Ryota Miyagi, Konobu Kishi, Yasuharu Yasuda, Tetsushi Shiozaki, Kaede Rukawa, Kentaro Ishii, Tomoshi Sazuoka, Noboru Kuwata, Haruko Akagi and Fujii.

Only by watching it live can you intuitively feel the physical gap between the Japanese players and the Bulls players.

Basketball, unlike football. In football, good physical fitness does not bring an overwhelming advantage. In this way, it is still difficult to replace the technical players of white people, who tend to receive professional training at a younger age than blacks, and the level of dedication and hard work in training is often outstanding.

And in basketball, a big black man flies up and dunks, which ordinary people can't prevent after practicing for a lifetime.

In the pre-game warm-up, the Bulls unexpectedly performed a dunk performance.

Aerial relays, windmill dunks, one-arm windmill dunks, hanging arm dunks, tomahawk dunks, the Bulls players took turns to wreak havoc on the basket, making the audience addicted.

This kind of ball skill is difficult for Japanese fans to see, even if it belongs to the hostile camp, the audience is also impressed by the ball skills of the Bulls players, and the scene resounded with heartfelt applause.

Compared to the Bulls, the Japanese men's basketball team is much more boring.

Except for Ryu-jung standing outside the three-point line to practice long-range shooting, the other players are doing boring mid-range shooting practice or dribbling to the basket. Of course, Japanese players can also slam dunk, but except for Ryumasa, no one else can do such a fancy move to detonate the atmosphere of the scene.

"Coach, how can the Bulls players do their best before they play? Such a fancy dunk is beautiful to look at, but there is also a risk of injury. ”

Beside Coach Anzai, Akagi Gangken asked the doubts in his heart.

"The two armies are facing each other, and the generals and generals are fighting, which is called fighting generals. Looking at the history of ancient warfare, fighting generals are a very important part, which refers to the time when the two armies face each other, and one of the fierce generals in each army fights. At present, the Bulls are attacking the Japanese men's basketball team by "fighting generals" to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight. ”

Looking at the scene on the court, Coach Anthy's tone was quite helpless: "Now it seems that the purpose of the Bulls has been achieved." The morale of the Japanese men's basketball team has been devastated. ”

"Coach, this kind of slam dunk can also do it." Mitsui Shou asked, "Why is Long Zheng useless?" Let the Bulls crush their own morale. ”

"Because of physical strength," Coach Anzai hit the nail on the head, pointing out the core problem: "Ryuzheng must retain his physical strength to cope with a difficult game of 40 minutes. In the position of Long Zheng, you must be responsible for the game and think about your teammates, and you can't be angry at will. ”

......

A place on the side of the audience.

"I didn't expect Long Zheng's mentality to be so mature, if I didn't know in advance, I couldn't believe that he was a fifteen-year-old boy."

New York Knicks head coach Pat Riley dragged his chin and exclaimed.

"It's because of maturity that it's hard to control!"

Thinking of the rookie contract signed with Long Zheng, Houston Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovic felt quite uncomfortable.

"An outside shooter in the NBA can easily kill him as long as he has two defenders in the bag. It's hard to imagine how Long Zheng's first game broke through from the double bag of Jordan and Pippen. ”

Looking at Long Zheng, who tried to shoot three-pointers on the basketball court, Phoenix Suns head coach Paul Westfale's mind was full of questions.

As top basketball coaches, the four know the offensive tactics of outside pitchers.

Outside shooters tend to change lines by dribbling, creating a one-to-two-second shooting opportunity, and adopting a proper defensive stance, the offensive team will rarely have a chance to completely get out of your control, and even if you shoot, the shooting percentage will drop due to the close interference of the defender.

All pitchers have an unavoidable prelude to shooting, that is, the ball is dribbled or the ball that is ready to be shot when it is received, from the front of the body to the head to aim at the basket, if the offensive team is not very fast, you can shoot it when it lifts the ball through the chest, even if you do not succeed in shooting the ball out of the control of the offensive player, the defender will greatly interfere with the rhythm of his shooting.

Because shooting requires a sense of rhythm, it's easy for defenders to defend against outside shooters, who can only shoot if they run out of space.

A one-on-two player like Long Zheng, who was disrupted by the defensive player's shooting rhythm, and was still able to eat the opponent and ensure the shooting rate, the four have never seen it.

Even Houston Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovic thinks from the bottom of his heart: In the first game, Long Zheng only played for a long time, so he had that kind of shooting rate.

He didn't believe that Long Zheng would be able to hit the basket without losing his shooting rhythm.

Rudy Tomjanovic is desperate to know how many percent of his outside shots are shooting from beyond the arc when he loses his shooting rhythm. (To be continued.) )
