Although recently, as long as he thought of the slam dunk contest in the near future, Su Feng was so happy that he couldn't do it......

However, you also have to eat the "rice" one bite at a time.

Moreover, as a person who has come over, Su Feng knows very well the truth that "even if you win ten or eight slam dunk contest championships, it is not as good as a championship ring".

Therefore, after adjusting his mentality, Su Feng quickly calmed down.

It's 1999......

Steadiness is king!

It is worth mentioning that after the new Raptors were officially assembled, Davis' two new assistant coaches, D'Antoni and Rivers, also quickly sparked.

As the "Sleeping Dragon, Phoenix Chick" recruited by Davis in the summer......

The two men who are hell-bent on proving themselves in front of Davis have very different opinions on the Raptors' starting lineup and bench use for the new season.

In the opinion of D'Antoni, who advocates offense, the Raptors should design more pick-and-roll tactics around Nash to increase Nash's ball possession and playing time.

In the opinion of Rivers, who pursues defense, he thinks Davis should try to use Maddie as the starter and Nash as the team's sixth man instead.

In short, for a while, neither of these two people could convince anyone.

And in order to avoid the new season before it starts, his coaching team will be infighting......

Under Su Feng's "hint", Davis proposed to D'Antoni and Rivers: "Or, you each choose your own people, according to your ideas, how about we play an intra-team training game?" ”

As for Davis' proposal, both D'Antoni and Rivers thought it was a pretty good idea.

So, after a "fair, open, and just" BP selection, Rivers selected the red team composed of Su Feng, Big Ben, Maddie and two substitute tools.

D'Antoni, on the other hand, selected a blue team composed of Nash, Curry Sr., Carter, O'Neal Jr. and a bench tool.

In the Raptors' training gym, after the red and blue teams were formed, Rivers and D'Antoni were confident in beating each other and proving that their theories were right.

It's just that......

After the start of this training game, the two men found that under their tactical arrangement, it was difficult for either the red team or the blue team to play the smooth offense and solid defense that the Raptors did last season.

In the end, relying on Su Feng's Tianxiu performance of continuously bullying Carter at critical moments, 113-124, the red team had the last laugh.

But after the game, looking at D'Antoni, Rivers had a hard time telling the other party that he had won the game.

Because whether it is from the scene or the result of this game, in Rivers' opinion, if he was not the first to choose in the previous BP link......

As long as D'Antoni can choose Su Feng, the result of this game will most likely go to the blue team.

As the losing side of this game, D'Antoni also showed great frustration after the loss.

Because last season, when the Nuggets were the head coach, he never understood why the same tactics, the Raptors could play a mercury-like offense, while the Nuggets led by him could only be ravaged.

And on the side, after watching this training match......

Touching the fat on his chin, Davis felt that the endless inspiration in his mind was gushing out like a spring at the moment.

In Davis' view, both Rivers and D'Antoni's proposals have merit......

It's just a little bit of a tweak.

"I think it's a really good idea to have Steve as the sixth man." Looking at Rivers, Davis said with a smile on his face.

On the other hand, when he learned that his favorite Nash was going to be arranged by Davis to play the sixth man, how could you say that D'Antoni was not in a low mood at the moment?

However, just when D'Antoni thought the big picture was decided, Davies changed his voice and turned to him and said, "But we should really increase Steve's possession and design more pick-and-roll tactics for him." ”

Last season, because the Raptors had a relationship with Sucho, the two ball powerhouses, it was difficult for Nash to get as much of the ball as he did when he was with the Suns in the future.

Coupled with Nash's almost negligible defense, Davis will choose to send Maddy in the final moments of the Raptors game and some key battles.

But this is no longer the case.

This season, after Boss Joe retired, if the Raptors can't clarify the team's organizational core before the start of the new season, then no matter how talented the Raptors are, they are likely to beat Xia Jiba into Xia Jiba.

So, in Davis' view, the Raptors have to go through even crazier scientific experiments right now.

And today, after going through the big brawl between OB Rivers and D'Antoni, Davis feels like he's gradually found the answer he wants.

First of all, in terms of the starting lineup, Davis thinks what Rivers said makes a lot of sense.

That is, in this era of defense-oriented, the Raptors must first stabilize their defense before they can find opportunities to counterattack.

Therefore, he is more inclined to use the swing man set of Big Ben, O'Neal Jr., Su Feng, Carter and Maddie to play first.

However, if it is just a blind defense, then there will definitely be problems with this Raptors' offense.

Because whether it is Su Feng or Carter......

In Davis's view, none of them are great organizational cores.

And Maddie, despite her own cultivation, has been going in the direction of "magician......

But in terms of organizational ability alone, no matter how fast this Maddie improves, he can't beat Nash.

Therefore, in Davis' initial plan for the Raptors' playing time for the new season......

Halfway through the first quarter, he will send on Nash and remove O'Neal Jr. to take the lead in the game through a change of pace.

Immediately after the second quarter, he will replace the Kamai brothers with Curry Sr. and bench tools, and Su Feng and Nash will lead the team instead.

As for the second half, in Davis' planning, Nash would play early in the third quarter.

In addition, in the last quarter, Davis will judge based on the situation on the court at that time.

As a result, while it looks like Nash will go from starting to bench in the new season, in reality, on average, he has played nearly five minutes more than last season.

Coupled with the fact that Maddie and Carter are also able to allocate more than 30 minutes of playing time, in Davis's opinion, his playing time plan is simply not too perfect.

And when Nash is on the court, the Raptors will resolutely implement the run-and-bomb style with Nash as the core of the organization.

That was D'Antoni's previous suggestion to Davis.

It's just that......

After listening to Davis's arrangement, although Rivers and D'Antoni both felt that Davis made sense, they ......

"John, if that's what we're going to do......

Then we're going to have to have someone to swing to the number four with Steve and Tracey on at the same time. ”

At this moment, looking at D'Antoni and Rivers, who were asking questions to him at the same time, Davis felt that these two people had no idea about someone's power.

So, pointing to Su Feng on the court, Davis smiled at the two guys: "Don't worry, because we have ......

Sue! ”

Sue......

Su Feng?

Looking at Su Feng's strong muscles on the court, at this moment, Rivers and D'Antoni were no longer confused.

However, I don't know why, the two of them always felt that Davis's arrangement seemed strange somewhere......

Because in the player playing schedule for the new season of the Raptors just arranged by Davis, even a macho man like Big Ben will rotate with O'Neal Jr. in the game.

However......

If Rivers and D'Antoni heard me right......

"John, did you forget to put a substitute for Sue?" Suddenly thinking of where Davis laid out the hole, Rivers and D'Antoni kindly reminded Davis.

In Rivers and D'Antoni's view, Davis's arrangement is good and wonderful, but you must know that all this is based on the premise that Su Feng can always appear on the court......

And looking at the two people who asked him questions at the same time again, Davis sighed and said to the two brothers: "I didn't expect you guys to have a tacit understanding......

Well, I'll be honest with you, in my plan, I wouldn't be going to replace Sue unless the game goes into garbage time. ”

Rivers, D'Antoni: "!! ”

This......

Is this what it means to kill Su Feng?

Originally......

It turns out that the main force of death is the so-called royal way of warfare?

Looking at Davis with a solemn expression, in the dark, at this moment, Rivers and D'Antoni both felt that they had learned something incredible from Davis.

And take another look at Su Feng on the court......

In a trance, both Rivers and D'Antoni felt that it was not unreasonable for a player like Su Feng to take millions more than other players.

It's just that where did the young Rivers and D'Antoni know that Davis wanted to kill Su Feng?

But Su Feng took the initiative to ask you to make it?

Last season, every time he replaced Su Feng in advance, Davis could see a trace of loss from Su Feng.

Therefore, in Davis's opinion, as long as Su Feng wants to fight, then he must satisfy Su Feng.

After all, the Raptors can be where they are today, and in Davis's eyes, it is almost all due to Su Feng.

And although this idea is very biased......

But who made Davis never forget the figure who saved himself and the team again and again in the summer of '97 and last season?

So, don't look at Davis has always been a very kind and fair coach in the hearts of Raptors players.

But in fact, in Davis's opinion, no one can ...... this Raptors

As long as Su Feng is still there.

And after the Raptors' coaching staff preliminarily set the team's tactics and personnel playing time plan for the new season......

Next, it is time for the players to have in-depth exchanges and get acquainted with each other through joint training.

And because the basic framework of the Raptors lineup in the new season has not changed much, in fact, in the run-in stage, the main task of the Raptors players is to have a good chemistry with newcomers such as O'Neal Jr.

But the result is ......

I don't know if it's because I've been sitting on the bench in Portland for a long time, anyway, O'Neal Jr.'s recent performance in training can only be described as bad.

"Su ...... Can you help me? ”

And in order to be able to quickly integrate into this Raptor, on this day, O'Neal Jr. also found Su Feng in private after training.

"Didn't you be in good shape when you were training in the summer? Why is it that once you practice together, it is like a different person? ”

Looking at little O'Neill with an anxious expression, Su Feng asked curiously.

"I ......"

After taking a deep breath, little O'Neill immediately expressed his heart to Su Feng.

Because of the relationship between being bullied by Ryder in Portland in the early years, although Su Feng and Davis have fed this little O'Neal a lot of chicken soup for the soul, but in the case of trying to prove himself, now this little O'Neal has become unable to play.

You know, in competitive sports, if strength is a player's lower limit guarantee.

That mentality is the key factor that determines the ceiling of a player in many cases.

To put it bluntly, little O'Neill just wanted to prove himself too much, but instead he put a golden hoop on himself.

Therefore, after listening to Little O'Neill's heart, Su Feng patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "I think you have to relax now." ”

As the so-called heart disease also has to be cardiac medicine.

So, after motioning for O'Neill to relax, Su Feng then said to him, "Jermaine, I know you want to prove yourself, but in my opinion, you don't have to.

Because, if it weren't for the recognition of your strength, the Raptors wouldn't have traded you out of Portland with so many chips.

So, forget about the damn past, because tomorrow will be a new day. ”

“......”

Looking down at Su Feng's handsome face, at this moment, little O'Neill always felt that there was a huge pillar of light behind Su Feng.

And looking at Little O'Neal's cute face, Su Feng knew very well that if he wanted to restore little O'Neal's self-confidence, it was definitely not something that could be done in a few words.

Therefore, the next day, at the team's intra-team training game, under Su Feng's hint, the whole Raptors team was trying to find a way to help O'Neal Jr. find his form.

Plus a variety of verbal encouragement from teammates......

For a while, little O'Neal, who became the "team pet", was so moved that he wanted to cry.

On the other hand, in stark contrast:

"No, Vince, you can throw this kind of vacancy that my grandmother can throw?"

"Tracy, defend! Defend! Defend!

Oh, I really want to kick you in the ass right now, look at your damn defense, have you forgotten the 17-0 humiliation by Kobe Bryant not long ago? ”

Get......

Listening to Su Feng's lecture to Kamai, Little O'Neill, who originally wanted to say that Su Feng was very gentle, immediately took this sentence back.

However, after gradually integrating into the cheerful family of the Raptors......

Little O'Neill himself probably didn't even notice that the golden hoop that had been on top of his head before was gradually disappearing at this moment.

If you say......

What is the biggest difference between the Raptors and other NBA28 teams......

That's probably as Su Feng said before, this Raptors are playing "brother basketball".

No brothers, no basketball!
