Chapter 639: Jerry. Sloane
This is only the fifth layer, is it so sad? Is your choice the right one? Is it worth it?
Tang Qian was an ordinary person, so when he only had one last chance left, he couldn't help but "feel sorry for himself". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But soon he got rid of this idea, because it was no one else or himself who made the choice. Therefore, whether it is good or not, he should bear it with all his might.
There's one last chance to challenge! It's a big deal, the master has an ability card every time! Let's talk about it after this layer first!
But...... There is a big disadvantage to this, that is, there are 2 floors behind, what should he do? These ability cards were all saved by Tang Qian for the last 2 layers to sprint! In case the fifth layer consumes several cards, he will only be able to stare dryly later!
Besides, you think you can win with an ability card??? It was not that Tang Qian had used the ability card before, but he also lost the game. It's just that this time in the process of "climbing the tower", he felt this more obviously.
Ability cards are definitely not a panacea! It's not a guarantee of victory either! Those super strong team superstars, no one is a weak chicken, if you want to win, you can only fight to the death! Even Tang Qian faintly felt ...... Why does a sweep send an ability card? Why do I get the Man of the Match Player of the Match after a successful challenge, and I can get Ability Card Shards? This is not "sending warmth" or "special care", this is just ...... "different space" is "pitying" itself and giving itself "vitality".
This tower was not so easy to climb in the first place.
It's like life, it's like success.
"There is one remaining challenge opportunity, the defending champion Houston Rockets, and the overall chemistry is weakened by 30%."
"Open the head coach selection, please stop within 1 minute."
Well? Coach selection? Got something new? Because the pattern on the "calendar board" was already running, Tang Qian had to make a decision within 1 minute, otherwise the consequences would be ...... He didn't know what was going to happen, but it certainly wasn't going to be particularly good.
"Stop!"
After Tang Qian called a stop, the "calendar board" slowed down, and finally the cursor stopped at a pattern, no, a photo.
Tang Qian could see this person at a glance...... Because this face is so famous.
Jerry. Sloan, the godfather of Salt Lake City, has coached the same team for 23 years in his 26-year coaching career, and finally quit halfway because of conflicts with Delon. But in the end, he was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame and went down in history.
Everyone has a deep impression of Sloan during the coaching period, especially the NBA Finals in 9798 for two consecutive years, which made this name well-known to the world. But a few people know that in fact Jerry. Sloan was also the No. 4 pick in the first round and spent 10 seasons in Chicago in 11 of his playing career.
Chicago Bulls, the biggest regret of his coaching years, is the biggest pride of his playing days.
10 years of the Bulls, 6 All-Defensive First Team Awards, 4-time All-Defensive First Team, 2 All-Stars, and even where Sloan started his head coaching career after retiring is Chicago, all of them are Bulls. Suffice it to say, he accompanied the Chicago Bulls through the darkest period of their beginnings.
But history is so ironic, but after he became the godfather of Salt Lake City, he was shot down by the top of Chicago twice again.
So for the Bulls, Jerry. Sloane probably has a love-hate relationship in his heart.
However, Tang Qian's understanding of this old man is limited to this, Salt Lake City, where the Utah Jazz are located, is really not a well-known city. At least for Chinese far away, if it weren't for the 9798 NBA Finals, it is estimated that few people would know this place name.
"Pick up the head coach Jerry. Sloan, Jerry. Sloan's Tactical System, Tactical Philosophy, Tactical Positioning, all will be blessed in your team. ”
No wonder the previous head coach has always been a "public face", and he can't see any flowers, so he can turn on this function when he gets the third chance to challenge? Is "Alien Space" intentional??? After Tang Qian scolded a few words, he wondered again, he wouldn't enter the third challenge too early, and he wouldn't have a fart, right? Well, according to the urine nature that is not explained by "different space", it is very likely.
Forget it, I didn't need it before, but now it's just right.
For Jerry. Sloan, Tang Qian's other tactical impression is, oh, he's a master of blocking tactics.
When Tang Qian confirmed the third opportunity to challenge, the scene was dark, but he did not appear directly on the basketball court as before.
I haven't even guessed the coin yet.
He and his teammates ...... Appeared in a training gym!
And the person standing not far away is Jerry. Sloane.
"What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you come right now!! Gather!!! Assembled!! "Jerry. Sloane had a whistle in his mouth and shouted as he blew it, his tone very tough and unquestionable. It can be seen that he should be a manager with a not very "kind" temper. At least with Mike. D'Antoni is more of a player-trained coach than he is...... Well? Well, I almost forgot that he was from a player faction, so it's no surprise that his coaching style tends to be "emotional" overall.
Players who have played in the NBA retire and become coaches, basically have a passion that academic coaches don't have. Sloan was a fiery temper when he was a player, and this continued until he was the head coach, and it was all the same. To put it in disbelief, do any of you know who has eaten the most T's in NBA history? All hands and all people.
The answer is not "Roaring Celestial" Rashid. Wallace isn't the "flower bug" Dennis either. Rodman is not a latecomer Cousins, the answer is...... Jerry. Sloane. How? Can't believe it? Cousins only accumulated more than 76 technical fouls and 10 ejections in five seasons, but this is not the same as the "technical foul king" Jerry in NBA history. Sloane was weak.
Because Jerry. Sloan amassed 413 technical fouls in his lifetime! This level! I'm not targeting anyone!
Being a coach can do more than a player's technical fouls, and even become the NBA's "technical foul king", which is a bit fantastical and appalling no matter how you look at it. Unfortunately, this is the historical truth.
It can be seen from this that this old man born in 1942 has a bad temper and how hot he is! According to the memories of Malone and Stockton, when they were still rookies, they were not less defeated by Jerry. Sloan roared, and the situation didn't improve until the two of them became the irreplaceable "double core" of the Jazz. But if you are lazy in training and make mistakes in the game, you still can't escape the scolding of the "old man". But the "Utah Twins" don't resent Jerry. Sloane was even full of respect and affection for the latter.
There is only one reason, he is a person who is really good for them.
And roaring is just a way for him to love.
See clearly, Jerry. Sloan was just hot-tempered, he loved to roar but was basically abusive, and obviously, yelling and insulting were two different things. But there is also someone who can't stand it, and he is Delong. Williams. Because of the contradiction between the two, in the end, the old man was disheartened, resigned and left, and Delong did not fall behind at all.
His reputation is gone, his strength is gone, and it turns out that he can only play at the peak All-Star level under the "Sloan system", otherwise he is not worthy of being a Chris at all. Paul is on an equal footing.
Then in this week's training camp, Tang Qian and the others spent the same time in "hell". This Jerry. Sloan is a workaholic, no wonder Malone has become the strongest No. 4 in NBA history in his hands, this kind of work energy, you can't hold it up, it's a collapse, can you hold it...... There will definitely be great benefits.
Because of the "different space", in just one week, Tang Qian's group of people completely mastered Jerry. Sloan's tactical philosophy and tactical system, and the most surprising thing for the Lakers' No. 29 is ...... The team's tacit understanding and chemistry are like sesame seeds blooming, rising day by day. Compared to before the training camp, it was two completely different teams.
Finally, Tang Qian understood the role of a head coach for the team, and his positive bonus to the team was immeasurable.
"Okay, tonight we're going to start Game 1 of this series, the Rockets are strong, but ...... Obviously we are stronger! "Jerry. Sloan directly said loudly: "Give the arrogant Houstonians a hard lesson!" Kick over their ass!! ”
In the coin guessing session, Tang Qian finally succeeded, and the Tang Qian team gained a home advantage in this round of the series.
The first game will be held at the Staples Center.
In the scrum session, Tang Qian resisted the pressure, first Olajuwon slapped the ball in one step, and then Kidd held the ball in the No. 1 position and slowly pushed it to the frontcourt. Near the top arc of the Rockets' three-point line, Kidd made a gesture, Tang Qian lifted it up and blocked him high, and Kidd broke through and went straight to the Rockets' interior.
But the Rockets are not panicking, because their interior line is standing with "Big Dream" Olajuwon.
In an era when the defense is weakened in three seconds to the point that only the weak side is reduced to a 12-foot small penalty area, and in an era when there is no reasonable collision zone under the basket, it really takes a little courage to enter the box and challenge the "NBA all-time block king".
The Rockets even deliberately put Kidd inside and handed it to Olajuwon to collect the net.
This is the extreme confidence in the personal ability of the peak "big dream".
Kidd is really going to kill him, what will be the result? Half the chance of being hatted, and more than half of the chance of hitting the basket! There is no way, Kidd's physical fitness at his peak is passable, and he can be used to deal with Olajuwon, which is "too shabby". Without Jordan's physical fitness, Olajuwon is facing each other both offensively and defensively, and there are usually few good ones in the end.
This point, the three major centers in the 90s have experienced it firsthand, and you Kidd wants to come hard, it's just a joke.
However, Kidd's original intention to come in was not to make his own layups and score by himself, he is a real traditional point guard master, and as I have said before, he is not the No. 1 position of Nash's direct pass assist. Organizing and controlling the field is Kidd's No. 1 rule.
So the ball went around and then it went out and it went to Stephen on the left. Curry, Curry with the ball...... Is it a three-point shot? No, the Rockets didn't give him this opportunity, his opponent was like an octopus, he stuck to it the first time, using both hands and feet, and that kind of entangled defensive style made Stephen. Curry was extremely uncomfortable.
Because the NBA only weakened Hand-Checking for the second time in the '99-00 season, before that, defensive players could infringe on offensive players' occupied positions. This is very important, and if you taste it carefully, you can simply "dance with your hands" and "dance with your teeth and claws". Not to mention that you can also use your hands, forearms, shoulders and other parts to change the offensive path of offensive players, which is a heavy blow to an outside player like Curry, whose body is not particularly prominent. It is equivalent to greatly compressing Curry's shooting space and breakthrough space, so that Curry needs to be ready to "touch meat" at all times, whether he is shooting or sudden. So Curry can only change his desire to shoot and change to ...... Tactical Ball!
Right! It's a tactical ball! That's what happened during this time, Jerry. The training, tacit understanding and tactical literacy that Sloan gave them skyrocketed!
Therefore, the ball moves before man, which is one of the essence of tactical ball, and man can never move faster than the ball.
After deducting the reaction time of the human brain, as long as the ball moves before the person, it can have the effect of taking the defense by surprise and tearing the defense.
For example, this ball is Tang Qian, who just went to the top arc to help Kidd block and dismantle, and became the final terminator.
How to become a Terminator? Jump straight to the start, shake off the defenders, and dunk in the air!
Why do you think it's so easy? Is there no one on the inside of the Rockets? That's the benefit of the tactical ball, because of Kidd's breakaway, Curry holds the ball outside the left three-point line, which makes the Rockets' defensive focus focused on the left, also known as the strong side. In this way, the weak side was obviously emptied, giving Tang Qian the space to drive straight in, fully accelerate and fully jump.
Bang~
Otis. Thorpe was directly eaten exhaust gas, and finally watched the Lakers' No. 29 take off high.
The Tang Submarine team took the lead and scored first.
After a fierce offensive and defensive battle, neither side scored for 2 minutes, until the Lakers repeated their old tricks. Wallace also staged an empty dunk in the same position, which made Tomjanovic shout with some dissatisfaction: "Focus on defense, don't ignore the weak side without the ball!" Hakim, you're a little bit down to the basket! ”
But after the Rockets missed a three-point shot, the Tang Submarine team scored a goal again, and it was still this pattern, just Ray. Allen passed the ball to Kidd, and after Kidd broke through to attract the attention of the defense, he threw his hand and the basketball rebounded...... Lakers No. 29 jumps and attacks! "Bang", the Houston Rockets' basket is once again subject to violent ravage!
6-0, this is the first time in these recent games, the Tang Submarine team has taken the opening advantage, Olajuwon scored a goal on the offensive end, but there are no 15 seconds, the Tang Submarine team staged a delicate combination, by Stephen. Curry made a three-point shot on the right side, brushed ~, and the basketball hollow stabbed the basket. That's why the Rockets are too worried that the Downs will attack the weak-side basket and make over-corrections, and you loosen your focus from beyond the three-point line. Curry did not hesitate, his hand rose and fell, and the basketball arc broke the net!
9-2, the Houston Rockets called a timeout.
Tang Qian walked off the court, seemingly not believing that the Houston Rockets would be so easy to "deal with".
That's Jerry. Sloan's tactic is called Reject.Lob, which literally translates to refusing to drop high balls and throwing high balls to reject heavy and slow play, but the name of the tactic is more like a satire on the opponent. Because it can be seen that this tactic is full of a lot of hanging passes and high tossing passes, for example, the aerial relay is one of them. And it is also a variation of the blocking and dismantling tactics, using the high position to block and dismantle the No. 1 position to pull out the breakthrough space, and then the No. 1 position deliberately chooses one side as the strong side, creates the weak side, and then passes the ball to the strong side player outside the three-point line.
This Reject.Lob tactic requires the ability of the No. 1 position, and at the same time, the No. 23 position on the outside line is best to have a good three-point range, and finally it also requires the interior players who attack downward, and must have high mobility and athleticism, otherwise the last time can not shake off the opponent, then the entire tactical system will be wasted. It just so happens that these factors are all satisfied by the current Tang Qian's team, and they are also extremely satisfied, so they are extraordinarily powerful and handy.
Was it luck or coincidence? It won't be Jerry. Sloan's pick-and-roll tactics tailored to this team, right?
If that's the case...... That's awesome!
Tang Qian is not very familiar with Sloan, so of course he doesn't know, how many NBA thousand win coaches there are? Less than 10 people in history. Sloan, on the other hand, has the third-most wins in history, with a career win percentage of over 60 percent, and is also the longest coach of the same team in any of the four major U.S. leagues. Although this record is likely to be ended by the Spurs' Popovich, he has been a witness to staying in one place for so many years, regardless of decline or prosperity, and this kind of perseverance and courage is rare in the history of the league.
Jackson once said that he and Jerry. Sloan doesn't have any coaching ability, it's just that Sloan hasn't coached super-talented players, and it just so happens that he does. It's a bit of a deliberate modesty, but there's no denying that there's a certain amount of truth to it, and Salt Lake City is a small team market that hasn't changed for decades, so it's not particularly attractive to players. Marlon and Stockton, you say? Please, please take a look at their draft picks, at least until they join the NBA and make a name for themselves, there aren't too many pundits and scouts looking forward to them. And they are all results after the age of 30, the average person can wait so long?
So Jerry. Sloan has never won a championship, but his ability is not bad at all.
Now given a whole bunch of players with great ability, how can he not take advantage of it? You don't really think that he will simply block and dismantle, right? There are many types of pick-and-roll tactics, and it just so happens that Jerry. Sloan is the culmination of this tactical system.
The Rockets didn't find any particularly good way in the entire first quarter, and with the increase in the number of runs of the ball, the Rockets' error rate kept increasing, which made Tang Qianhuo Ran understand...... It turns out that this is the so-called team chemistry that is 30% weaker. The simpler the tactical fit, the less chemistry is required, but the reverse is ...... This is probably the true power of this "weakening effect".
It's just that his team's first two challenges didn't force the Rocket team to play tactical coordination, and they were simply cut off, so Tang Qian didn't realize the power of this "weakening effect". As a champion team or a consecutive championship team, one of their biggest advantages is that the tacit understanding of the team is the chemical reaction, which is the basis for them to become an invincible team.
The main time Rockets did not pull away from the score as they did in the previous two challenges, which led to a bench time when they were beaten by Tracy. McGrady's slashing slash. Yes, Olajuwon can only rest for 4~5 minutes a game, but other Rocket players can't, look at the playing time of other players during the consecutive championship period, except for Olajuwon, the longest is Drexler who has 38+ time, and the rest can't stand on the court for a long time. What do you make Chucky. Brown, Chris. Jant, Scott. Brooks, Carl. Herrera came to defend the peak Maddie, what is it if it is not a point?
More than 30+ per game is a super scorer, Maddie was a monster with an average of 32+ per game that year, Kobe Bryant is difficult to limit one-on-one, you let these "grassroots" defend? That's just giving points. Magic No. 1 chopped melons and vegetables, and the whole game was a substitute for 28 minutes, and he scored 31 points! No way, these opponents are too weak, and it is completely to make Maddie feel like no one, so naturally, Maddie's scoring efficiency has increased dramatically, which can be called a broken table.
In a slow-paced game, this is equivalent to the concept of a god-level weapon, which is equivalent to at least 40+ or more points in the fast-paced game of the later generations! 98-91 in the whole game, Tang Qian won by 7 points! This is the first time in the two challenges that they have won for the first time!
Tang Qian played 31 minutes in the game and got 15 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, but the best player of the game naturally belongs to the No. 1 Magic team. His contribution on the bench end tonight was crucial, one person overwhelmed all the Rockets' benches, plus several other people combined to contribute 6 points, Tang Qian's bench score was 37-22, 15 points overwhelmingly defeated the Rockets bench score. Looking at the Tang Qian's team only won by 7 points in the whole game, you should know the weight and significance of this 15 points.
Tang Qian is dispensable for this best player, it's not that he doesn't want it, it's just that the first task and the first requirement now is to win, and to keep winning, otherwise the last chance to challenge will be lost, and if he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After a day of adjustment, the second game began, and the Tang Submarine team wanted to repeat the old trick and play a few Reject.Lot again, but unfortunately they were completely blocked by the Rockets. Tomjanovic made a small change in the inside substitution, and Tang Qian or other offensive players went down to the weak side of the basket in the high post and were immediately contained. How to do it, is in Otis. Thorpe pursued the course directly with Hakim. Olajuwon switched defenses, which not only took care of the strong side with the ball, but also effectively defended the weak side without the ball.
Tomjanovic is a head coach at the level of consecutive championships, and his technical and tactical level is definitely not too weak.
Suddenly, the Tang Submarine team once again fell into offensive trouble, and at halftime in the second game, they went into the locker room with a deficit of 8 points, 41-49. And as soon as I entered the door, I heard Jerry. Sloane roared loudly, "Idiot! Are you all idiots? Took too many dollars so you can't think about it? ”
"Is the rigid use of tactics something I gave you?"
"Or did I not teach you the usual tactics at all?"
"Young people play with their bodies and brains, so do they, otherwise they should just let Mr. Bodybuilder play!"
"But Mr. Sloan, the Rockets have a good transition between offense and defense, and it's hard for us to get in." Danny. Fortson grumbled.
"Is their defense so good that you can't score at all?" Jerry. Sloan glared at Danny. Fortson glanced at it and said, "If it's not like this, please don't say this kind of thing in the future, it's very important to have courage and perseverance in basketball!" People who don't have the guts and perseverance don't deserve to play basketball in the NBA at all! ”
After holding down the entire field, Jerry. Sloan took out the tactical board again and said, "I'll play this regular tactic later, cross double cover in the high position!" And it's not two people to cover, it's one person! He paused, turned his head and asked, "Hot, do you have a problem?" ”
PS: This is the first update, and there is another one today, thank you for your support, and thank you for the support of the sister ~ thank you ~
Jerry. Sloan's nickname was "The First Bulls" back then, and his No. 4 jersey was also the first retired jersey from the Chicago Bulls, so history is always a little ironic and bantering. The old man is also a bull, and he is also a bull when he loses.
