After playing an overseas preseason game with the 76ers in Manchester, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to the United States non-stop.

For Nelson Sr. and the SuperSonics, the team's overseas game was more of a trip than a game.

For the team's run-in lineup and run-in five small tactics, the effect is not so great.

With so many visits, so many activities, and so many meetings every day, how can there be time for systematic training.

Previously, the time for systematic run-in and training of supersonic speed will be traced back to July.

So don't look at this supersonic only for about a week overseas, but this week is really like a year for old Nelson.

After returning to Seattle, without so many distractions and so many activities, Nelson Sr. can finally polish his five-small tactical system on the team.

For Nelson Sr., the five guys in his five-small system, Yes, James Harden, Durant, Antetokounmpo, are already a foregone conclusion.

Now the last member is to be determined, and Danny Green is the first player he thinks of, but after testing against the 76ers, it was found that Danny Green does not have what it takes to be a starter at the core of his five-small system.

Danny Green is also a well-rounded player, with ball-handling, defense, three-pointers, physicality, basically anything.

But except for the defense is top-notch, the three-point is top-notch, and the other abilities are basically the average level of the NBA.

This one is very uncomfortable.

The five players in his five small tactics, you can have shortcomings, but your strengths must be enough to make up for your shortcomings, so, in addition to this shortcoming, your other all-round abilities need to reach the elite level of the NBA to make up for this shortcoming, and the stronger the other advantages, the better.

His five small tactics can be seen as a bucket, and the five players are the five planks that surround this bucket, and the five planks are all abilities that have no shortcomings and reach the elite level, which is naturally the strongest.

Let's say his five-small tactic requires players with 1 meter plank and you have a big disadvantage, then your goal is to start at -0.2 meters and you need other advantages to reach 1.2 meters to make up for this shortcoming.

If there is a player who has a disadvantage in one ability and does not reach the elite level, then the requirements for the other abilities of that player will be very high.

Therefore, it is best for the players of his five small tactics to reach the elite level of B+ or above in each ability, otherwise one or two abilities are only C-level, which really can't make up for it.

And Danny Green is not just a C-level ability, except for his defense and three-pointers, all his abilities are between C-level and B-level, and his defense and three-point points can't make up for his shortcomings at all.

As a result, he and the other players are not on the same channel and one rhythm at all.

Other players can easily deal with all kinds of offensive and defensive problems on the court because of their super ability and super high boards, but Danny Green can't handle any problems on the court.

No kidding, even Antetokounmpo, who is in his rookie year, has done better than Danny Green.

Antetokounmpo is a very poor shot, but his other abilities are really good.

From the end of June to the beginning of October, the elder Nelson has been teaching Antetokounmpo for more than three months, and he knows more about Antetokounmpo's abilities than anyone else.

In addition to shooting, Antetokounmpo's other abilities are very solid.

NBA elite-level passing and ball handling, these two abilities, according to Nelson Sr.'s assessment, have reached the elite level of B+, and even ball control, perhaps reaching the star level of A-.

And defensive attributes, whether it is defensive outside steals or defensive interior blocks, or defensive position selection, or rebounding protection, Antetokounmpo's same all-round ability is above the elite level of B+, and even his rebounding protection and blocks make Nelson Sr. feel that he may also be able to reach the star-level A-.

And his physical ability, his speed, explosiveness, bounce, and strength, can also reach all B+ elite level or above.

That is, on offense, Antetokounmpo has some problems with his shooting, but his steps under the basket, confrontation under the basket, and even layups and dunks have no problems, and they are also B+ elite or above.

When Antetokounmpo has so many strengths to make up for his shortcomings, the height of his plank can't be lower, if it has shooting shortcomings.

His requirement for the height of the planks for the five small core players is 1 meter.

According to his calculations, Antetokounmpo may now have reached a height of 1.2 meters, which is higher than he requires.

In addition to Antetokounmpo, James Harden's plank height is 1.5 meters and Durant's is 1.8 meters.

As for Yes......

Yes, he can't measure the height of the plank, and his eyesight is the ability to assess the ability to be below A+.

Yes's abilities are A+ or higher, right?

This has already reached the limit of his eyesight.

So, for him, all abilities are '? 'Yes, of course the height of his planks'? 'No.

Well, now the question is simple.

His requirement for the five-small tactic is that the height of the plank must be at least 1 meter before he can play the five-small against an ordinary team in the NBA.

The other four were all up to the mark, and Danny Green's plank height was only 0.6 or even 0.7.

That's a drag.

Nelson's five-small tactics, which have been improved by him, are actually not very demanding of players.

There are many players who can play his five-small tactics, and even Paul George, the young player of the Lakers, can play.

In the past, his five-small tactical personnel requirements were ridiculed by Pat Riley for being too demanding, and it was better to beat his five-small and choose five magicians.

Now the personnel requirements of his five small tactics are that your strengths can not be too strong, but you can't have obvious weaknesses.

There are at least 30 players in the entire league, but this is the league, and in the entire Seattle SuperSonics, it is not so easy to find five such players.

Now the whole team is apart from Yes, James Harden, Antetokounmpo, Durant and Danny Green, five players he already knows very well.

Remove Milicic, Millsap, Gobert, Whiteside, Reggie Jackson, these five positions are very obvious, obviously can't play five small players, and then remove Nick Collison and Perry Jones, two players who are basically unused.

The Seattle SuperSonics have 16 players, and the only players he can test and find are Rondo, Tucker, Ingles and Leonard.

Nelson Sr. is not a machine, his eyes are not scanners, and to evaluate a player's 'plank value' requires him to do various tests on the player, as well as to evaluate the player's performance on the field.

This is a very tedious thing.

Over the past few months, he's basically focused on Yes, James Harden, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Danny Green.

Now that Danny Green doesn't meet the requirements, he'll need to look for a replacement for Danny Green from the remaining four.

According to the NBA's format, he has plenty of time to test the remaining four players, and even after testing, if those four are not qualified, he can even suggest to Yees that he trade players who meet his requirements.

As long as his five-point tactics can take shape before the playoffs begin.

It's just clear that he doesn't want that.

This is his last season.

As a person known as a madman.

Of course, he hopes to be able to go crazy from beginning to end!

After returning to the United States, the elder Nelson fell into a state of madness.

The preseason is not important, but many teams will use the preseason as a run-in state to check the basis of the form, and even many spinach companies will refer to the preseason when formulating the odds to win the season.

Therefore, the preseason is not the same as the summer league, and the preseason is also an official game belonging to the NBA.

There is some value.

And because Yes hasn't played in three years, the Seattle SuperSonics need a preseason game more than any team.

But after returning to the United States, the old Nelson began to mess around.

When he was in the UK, Nelson Sr. only let the five go up to the fourth quarter in garbage time.

But now because there is not enough time, on October 15, in the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the old Nelson except for the regular starting lineup of Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Yes and James Harden at the beginning.

After five minutes of play, it was a lineup of Antetokounmpo, Durant, Yees, James Harden and Rondo.

And this lineup played a full quarter and a half.

It wasn't until the third quarter that Nelson Sr. switched the lineup to Gobert, Whiteside, Tucker, Danny Green and Reggie Jackson.

After playing half a quarter in this regular lineup, Rondoga's five-man lineup of four other players reappeared.

And it's another quarter and a half of time.

In this game, the old Nelson played five small tactics for so long without concealment, even a fool can see what the old Nelson's intentions are.

Five little tactics!

Since last season's Warriors went crazy in the league, there is now some talk about the five small in the league.

Even though the Warriors' five-small tactics were pitted by the Cavaliers in the Finals, the old Nelson's preparation to play five-small in the supersonic still made the entire public opinion explode.

Not only the media and journalists, but even many coaches, players and professionals are quite looking forward to it.

It's just that when these people looked at the two games of SuperSonics and Nuggets, SuperSonics and Thunder with great expectation, they were a little disappointed.

It should be said that it is quite disappointing.

"Mr. Nelson's five-small tactics can also win, but the whole system works very jerky, not smooth."

Steve Cole was quite disappointed.

Of course, he can see that the school of five small tactics of old Nelson and the five small tactics of their 'Romar stream' are not the same system.

If in terms of requirements and difficulty, the old Nelson's five small tactics are even higher, and the old Nelson's five small tactics are to hope that the five players are at least players like Dream Green, the stronger the players, the greater the power of the tactics.

Nelson's five-small tactical system is more difficult, and naturally, the selection of personnel is more 'zero-sum game', as long as one player does not meet the requirements, the whole tactical system will not work.

It's very jerky.

At this point, the Warriors' five small does not have this problem, and by replacing Beasley with Matt Barnes, the Warriors' five small can still operate naturally.

The Warriors' five small is to use Dream Green's all-round to reduce the height of the interior, and use Curry's offensive speed and offensive range to improve the team's offensive frequency and offensive width.

As long as there is no problem with these two people, the other three people can play five small by changing the three outside forward players at will.

As a head coach of Nelson's calibre, he has certainly gone beyond the standard that tactics are in the service of winning.

Nelson Sr.'s tactical system is already in the pursuit of art, beyond the scope of winning and losing, and wants to see the ultimate offensive in basketball.

So for coaches like Kerr and Phil Jackson, even if I see that the old Nelson seems to be a little defeated and jerky in the tactical system because the personnel selection is not in place, it is more of a blessing.

Because they also want to see what the offensive end of basketball is.

They may not be able to reach the artistic heights of Nelson Sr., but this does not prevent them from appreciating whether Nelson Sr. can reach the highest heights of art.

It's just clear that in this world, most people are utilitarian and impetuous.

In particular, the media and public opinion are mostly short-sighted.

They don't care if old Nelson pursues art or not.

What they care about is, what is this thing that the Seattle SuperSonics are playing?

Nima's, you have Milicic and Millsap, two All-Star level insiders, and Antetokounmpo and Yes on the inside? Sick?

It won't be the same Alzheimer's as his apprentice Popovich, right?

Popovich's Alzheimer's has brought Duncan to life from the Spurs pit.

If old Nelson suddenly has Alzheimer's, yes is not going to be as miserable as the pit?

Yes hadn't played for three years, and now that it's back to the SuperSonics, the best thing to do is to familiarize Yes with the previous Seattle SuperSonics and get back into shape.

The principle that the void is not replenished is the same everywhere.

Now Yes needs to be made up slowly, and what is the current approach of old Nelson?

It's all about pouring a large box of ginseng medicine into Yes's mouth when Yes is still weak!

In these two games with the Nuggets Thunder, Nelson Sr. frantically experimented with his five small tactics, which caused him to be very controversial because of the poor effect, and many people were disappointed in him.

Even the elder Nelson himself was a little disappointed in himself.

The remaining four players of the SuperSonics, he started with Rondo first, and this is because his trust in Rondo is above the other three players who have not been tested.

He knows what happened to Rondo with the Spurs, and he knows where he is in the league right now.

But in Nelson's view, none of this mattered.

As long as Rondo can play the last core role in the five minor tactics, he doesn't care.

And he also has a lot of expectations for Rondo personally, although a triple-double per game doesn't mean he can play the core of his five-game strategy, but a player who can average a triple-double per game obviously has more expectations than other players.

Therefore, the old Nelson also deliberately gave Rondo two games of time.

But Rondo's performance in these two games, and the 'plank value' he tested from Rondo, disappointed him very much.

He has expectations for Rondo's scoring ability, the scoring champion, the scoring champion with a three-point shooting rate of nearly 5 percent, but in the experiment of these two games, Rondo's scoring performance is very poor.

If it's not Yes's pass, you can't score points, and with the five-small tactical system, how can Rondo's shots all be Yes's passes?

The speed of passing and receiving the ball is so fast that anyone can pass the ball to Rondo.

Rondo is also unlikely to be a threat in a certain period and needs to be an attacking threat in all periods.

Therefore, Nelson Sr. thought that Rondo's scoring ability should have a rating of grade A or above, and the final result was C-, which was even worse than Antetokounmpo, and Antetokounmpo's overall scoring score was quite high except for shooting.

And Rondo is not as good as Antetokounmpo except for his shooting, which is a little better than Antetokounmpo.

Originally, in Nelson's opinion, scoring was Rondo's strength, but now it has become a disadvantage, and then Rondo's height, strength disadvantage, and interior defense and blocking disadvantage, etc.

According to his tests, the player, who can average a triple-double per game in the NBA, has a measly 0.6 plank value, which is a bit worse than Danny Green.

The player he was most expecting came to such a result, which made Nelson Sr. quite disappointed and devastated.

Now that the SuperSonics have three more players, Tucker, Ingles and Leonard, could they be a better fit than Rondo?

Nelson Sr. was a little pessimistic.

However, life has to go on, even if it is pessimistic, and the final test must be completed.

On October 20 and October 22, the Seattle SuperSonics also defeated the Jazz and Suns in succession.

The superSonics' inexplicable reuse of Ingles and Tucker in these two games made the saliva and pressure on the old Nelson in public opinion even more crazy.

This crazy public opinion, even Ye Si is a little worried.

Don't think about this stubborn old man.

However, to Yes's relief, the elder Nelson still ignored any voices outside and continued to carry out his work meticulously.

Even he seemed to see a hint of joy in old Nelson's face.

"Tucker's plank value is 0.8, everything is good, it's just a little bit too bad, slightly better than Danny Green"

"Ingalls' plank value is 1.0......"

The results of this test were simply a pleasant surprise to the old Nelson.

On October 23, in the penultimate preseason game between the SuperSonics and the Bulls, Nelson Sr. tested Ingles again.

"It's still a 1.0 barrel!"

Ingalls can barely meet the requirements of the five small cores!

The joy on Nelson's face could not even be hidden.

"Old Nelson isn't really going crazy, is he?!"

After Kenny Smith, TNT's TV commentary, many people became more worried about YES and the Hypersonics.

"The harm of Alzheimer's disease is really big, Popovich is a criminal record!"

Looking at the excitement and joy of old Nelson on TV, James had a smile on his face.

Those comrades-in-arms of Yes are really more capable of showing off than one another, and one is more capable of pitting than the other.

He really didn't expect that it was old Nelson who was pitted this time.

Old Nielsen used to be Yes's most reliable partner.

Of course, although sympathy Yes is sympathy Yes, as an opponent, he certainly hopes that the Seattle SuperSonics will be as chaotic as possible!

In the Suns and Bulls games, Ingles got a lot of playing time.

And after the game, Nelson Sr. was full of praise for Ingles.

This is what makes Ingalls quite happy.

In the supersonics, he is very satisfied, whether he plays or not, it doesn't matter how much time he has, the supersonic have never treated him badly, but if he can help more Yes, of course he will be even happier.

"Now a lot of people out there are saying I'm Alzheimer's, and I think maybe they're right, a player like Joe, I haven't noticed it before, it's my problem."

Such praise from the elder Nelson surprised other supersonic players.

"So Joe is hiding so deeply!"

The surprised stares of his teammates made Ingles a little embarrassed.

He didn't know that his strength was so deeply hidden.

He looks like a big boss behind the scenes.

In fact, after testing Ingles' plank value, Nelson Sr. also felt that Ingles was the team's deepest hidden player.

Until October 25, when the game between the SuperSonics and the Clippers ended, and after testing the last player on the team, Kawhi Leonard, Nelson Sr. looked at the value of Leonard's planks that had been preliminarily tested in his hands, and thought that he might not only have Alzheimer's, but also severe presbyopia.

Plank value 1.6......

How is this possible?!

The first update, ask for a monthly pass!!
