Chapter 199: High-Pressure Defense
The Knicks' new assistant coach has recently become the talk of the town among those idle staff. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This defensive coach who stays in the team's video room all day long, even orders takeout to eat, and if there is a bathroom inside, I'm afraid many people don't know what the team's new coach looks like.
Steve. Wojciechovski, the successor to the veteran coach, is likely to become the new head coach of the Duke Blues one day.
However, Coach Collins' recommendation completely changed his trajectory. For the Knicks' offer, Voy thought it was a challenging choice.
He is well-versed in all the tactics of college teams and is eager to learn something new in the NBA, a professional league.
Disappointingly, Wojciechhowski, through several days of sleepless research, discovered that the tactical system of these professional teams was fairly simple, and most of them were companions derived from the individual singles of some stars. Defensively, there are very few teams that are able to skillfully switch between man-to-man and zonal defences in the game.
As the defensive coach hired by the Knicks, Voi did not directly come up with a set of defensive systems that had been formed, but sat in the video studio to study the defensive abilities and characteristics of several important players on the team. Any effective defensive system must be based on the individual ability of the players.
Sun Yi, as a player produced by Duke University, Woy is very familiar. After watching the Chinese guy's game last season, D'Antoni's new assistant couldn't help but shake his head. Alas! That kid's talent in defense didn't show up at all. You know, in his second year of college, Sun Yi became the best defensive player in the United States with an average of 3.5 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. With the increase in playing time after entering the NBA, Sun Yi's stats should never be just 2.2 steals and 0.9 blocks last season.
Aron. Afraro and Wilson. Chandler has great defensive ability and potential. The former has a calm personality and solid skills, while the latter never has stage fright against toughness. With a little sharpening, these two players will become very good single defenders.
The power forward position is what Coach Voi considers the weakest part of the team's defensive ability. Li, Dakko. Milicic, Al. Harrington's presence in defense is extremely poor. Of course, Chapman invited him to solve these similar problems.
Tyson. With the arrival of Chandler and veteran center Mike Days, the Knicks' interior defense has greatly improved. Chandler, the '01 star shower, in particular, will be key to Voj's defensive system.
The former Hornets center, who is 2.16 meters tall, can have the upper hand when defending most of the NBA's interior players, and if it weren't for Chandler's limited offensive ability in the low post, I'm afraid this interior stalwart would have become an All-Star member long ago.
This summer, a number of teams have intervened in the boxing champion's trade turmoil, in fact, because of his dominance in defense. Some would say that a center who averages 10 points and 10 rebounds per game has Mao's dominance. Most of the people who can say this kind of thing are data controllers, and there are very few real games that should be watched. If you're a Hornets fan, you know how important this fierce-looking big player is to the team's defense.
It's a player who can improve the team's defense, and Chapman's series of trades this summer has been a relief for the Knicks, who ranked fifth in the league in defensive efficiency last season.
Veteran center Mike Days was able to put Kwame on the Pistons, who was a decade younger than himself. Brown is firmly pressed to the bench, and there must be some truth to it. The interior player, who was known for his explosive physicality at the time of his debut, began to play more with awareness after suffering a serious injury, and he also developed a very reliable mid-range shot.
After the arrival of Mike Deis, he will be with Tyson Money. Dele takes turns guarding the Knicks' restricted area.
Other role players, in addition to Miller Sr. and Novak, are like Shannon. Both Brown and Sun Yue can make their defense better through training.
After figuring out the characteristics and habits of each Knicks player, Voj has been racking his brains to build the team's defensive system for the new season in the past two days.
Everyone knows that offense and defense go hand in hand on the basketball court. Whether the team is attacking or defensive, its tactical system is indispensable for both offense and defense.
It was a very challenging task to build on the offensive system that coach D'Antoni had already built and set up a defensive system to match it.
Wojciechovsky, who is proficient in various basketball tactics, did not rush to spare various defensive tactics. Instead, it focuses on the Knicks' offensive routines that gradually took shape in the second half of last season.
The New York Giants, who average 108 points per game, ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the league in offensive efficiency last season. There are three main scoring methods, the fast break score accounts for 40% of the total score, followed by the blocking and dismantling of the positional battle with about 35%, and the rest is a variety of extremely inefficient wave shots.
Constrained by the team's weak interior strength, the Knicks, who were at a disadvantage in rebounds in many games, did not play the wave of fast break that D'Antoni had when he was coached by the Suns.
In response to this phenomenon, Voi first set out to solve the problem of the team's unfavorable rebounding. A team's rebounding ability doesn't rely solely on the existence of those interior rebounding monsters in many cases. Reasonable and efficient rebounding tactics are also the solution to the problem.
Let's say, the starting lineup of the Knicks is Sun Yi, Afflalo, Wilson. Chandler, David. Lee, Tyson. Chandler. The team uses man-to-man tactics in the game, how to recycle the formation after the opponent shoots, who will be stuck and who will rush to grab the rebound? When using three-two or two-three defense, how should the responsibilities of players in each area be divided?
These problems need to be repeatedly deduced and demonstrated in order to find the best way.
Voe, who has roughly made a bit of a fuss about defensive rebounding, began to think about what kind of defensive strategy can create more and better opportunities for the team's best fast break.
In all types of fast-break tactics, the key factor that determines its effectiveness is the situation in which the fast-break is launched. Among them, the counterattack after the steal is the most powerful and the most effective.
This kind of use of defense to cause the opponent to make mistakes and launch the team's fast-break tactics is the direction that Coach Voj focuses on. After more than ten days of familiarity with the Knicks' tactics and players, he already has a rough outline in his mind.
The main tactical idea is to use the individual's high-pressure defense to compress the opponent's offensive space. Then, create opportunities that could cause the opponent to make mistakes.
This tactical concept requires the team to have two defensive cores, one inside and one outside, to have the basis for implementation. Sun Yi and Tyson, who has just joined the team. Chandler became the natural candidate.
Voy's defensive strategy is abstract, so let's take an example to illustrate it.
The Knicks played against the Celtics, and the opponent was attacked by Pierce with the ball, and Wilson was the defender. While ensuring that he did not lose his position, Chandler tried to press his opponent to Sun Yi's side. For the stealing ability of the Knicks' Chinese youngsters, Coach Voy, who has led the other team for two years in college, knows best.
The most feared thing about this high-pressure tactic is the kind of player with strong offensive ability with the ball, such as James, Kobe, Wade and other superstars who can shoot well. It is easy to be in the game, because the formation is pressed too high, leaving too much space for the opponent to break through, causing an embarrassing situation of breaking the surface with points.
At this time, Tyson, who has an excellent sense of helping to defend. Chandler became the only player the team could count on. As long as the Knicks center can slow down the opponent's breakaway, Voy believes that with his own training, the rest of the team can build a solid defense again as quickly as possible.
It seems that the defensive system conceived by Coach Woy, Chinese player Sun Yi has become the biggest beneficiary. No, it would be a bit misleading to say that, it should be Voy's defensive system that maximizes and exploits the defensive potential of the Knicks' core.
……
When the Knicks' new defensive coach was struggling to figure out how to build the team's defensive system for the new season. Sun Yi, who is preparing for the Asian Championships at the Chinese men's basketball training base, has entered the stage of adjustment as the team enters the adjustment stage near the opening of the game, and the already insufficient training volume has dropped a lot.
On August 2, the day before the Chinese men's basketball team moved to Jincheng, the head coach announced a half-day holiday in the afternoon, so that the players who had 'worked hard' all summer could meet their families and relax.
Sun Yi, Sun Yue, and Yi Jianlian, who did not have many relatives and friends in the capital, continued to sweat in the training hall. For a game of this calibre like the Asian Championships, the level and intensity of the game for these players who are working hard in the NBA are not as good as in the preseason. The reason that prompted them to practice hard is that playing in that league where Superman is flying all over the sky and perverts is really like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
After a summer of hard work, Sun Yi has gradually mastered the shooting tricks and shooting strength in the NBA-standard two-step position outside the three-point line. The ensuing hit rate is also getting higher and higher.
Sun Yue, who is much stronger than before, has greatly strengthened her confrontation ability. When the national team competes in groups, they can't get cheap in front of their roommates, and others like Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng are not involved at all.
Yi Jianlian's body shape has not changed much, because he has maintained it well. The newborn muscles during the special training were hidden under the skin, and no one could see them intuitively. The only difference is that he's very confident when he shoots now. Moreover, the hit rate has been greatly improved. This is the result of Mr. Will's anti-interference shooting ability getting better and better after holding the big card countless times all night in those two months.
……
The trio completed their respective training tasks, bathed and changed in the locker room, and then returned together.
"Hey! I'll just say that no one answered the phone when I called you. Ahem! ”
The appearance of national team teammate Zhu Fangyu panting and sweating made the three of them think that something big had happened.
"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?"
Sun Yi, the youngest, should call the other party brother.
After the breath calmed down a little, the main small forward of the Guangdong Provincial Basketball Team looked at the surrounding environment, and after making sure that there were no idle people, the three owners of the mysterious and mysterious landlord whispered: "Today I will take you to meet a big brother, this one belongs to this in Sijiu City." ”
Looking at the thumbs up of the other party, the three people who had just finished practicing couldn't figure out their heads for a while.
The eldest brother in Zhu Fangyu's mouth, named Liu Mingming, is one of the few people in the three generations of the capital who likes to show his face. His grandfather was one of the founding generals, and because of his relatively firm position, he stood firm in the revolutionary wave of the sixties and seventies. Liu Mingming's father has three brothers, the eldest is now the political commissar of a military region, the second is the governor of a southern province, and the third is his father, who is currently the second-in-command of the Ministry of Energy.
As the only grandson of the old Liu family, Liu Mingming grew up in a honey pot since he was a child. Since I was a child, I didn't have a proper line, and I was either fighting or causing trouble all day long.
At that time, his grandfather was still alive, and when this kid reached the age of sixteen, he was ruthless and threw himself directly into the melting pot of the army to fend for himself.
didn't think about it, Liu Mingming really changed sex there. In five years, completely relying on his own efforts, he has changed from a hairy soldier to a talent focused on cultivating by his unit.
After the examination and selection, he was sent to the Shishi Army Academy for further study. As a result, when I went to report, I was recognized by a subordinate who had come to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Liu Mingming.
This is good, the news spreads ten, ten, hundreds. Liu Mingming, who has become a celebrity in school, lives in the trouble of celebrities all day long.
When he was about to return to the military academy after three years of study, the top commander of Liu Mingming's unit actually came to the military academy to pick him up. After returning to the army, the more uncomfortable he became, the more he stayed in the army, and simply applied for a major.
In the eight years that Liu Mingming has been in the army, his grandfather has been paying attention to his grandson. But time waits for no one, and two days before Liu Mingming returned to Beijing, the old man finally failed to take a look at the only grandson who had changed his mind.
Grandpa's death made Liu Mingming not go out for half a year. Buddies who used to play together have also encountered a lot of closed doors. Just when people thought that Young Master Liu was proud of the mountains and forests and didn't care about the world, this product suddenly posted a heroic post and announced in a high-profile manner that he had established a trading company.
It is said to be a trading company, but in fact it is a leather bag company. Relying on the connections of the old Liu family, he made a little money by pouring out the approval documents of some red-headed documents.
With such a leather bag company, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 in Sijiu City. But Liu Mingming is getting bigger and bigger, and he has begun to get involved in the emerging industry of real estate.
After several years of expansive development, Chairman Liu, who has earned enough money, has started a film and television culture communication company to enter the entertainment industry.
With the Chinese men's basketball team winning the silver medal in the Olympic Games and becoming the focus of discussion among the Chinese people, Liu Mingming, who was originally a die-hard fan, even wanted to buy a team and be his own boss.
At a gathering of friends, a buddy said who he knew about the national team, and Boss Liu asked casually: "Do you know Sun Yi?" ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
got on the pole and stammered Liu Dong's buddies, and began to start connecting. (To be continued.) )
