Chapter 441: Against the Wizards Old Rascal
When the referees blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Pistons won the preseason game.
The reason why they were able to win was mainly because the eagles were too pitted......
It's a real pit, the defense is bad enough, and the offensive efficiency of Fat Toutuo is also outrageous!
Richard has every reason to believe that the team may not be able to coexist peacefully for too long, and it is only a matter of time before infighting erupts.
A fat head with a top salary, playing a negative role on the field, it is strange that the other players in the team can bear it.
The eagles are almost completely cool, at least in the next few years, it will be difficult to turn over.
Since the departure of their decorated coach Wilkens, the fate of this team has been destined to be cold.
Sometimes, the head coach of a team is really important.
A qualified manager can not lead the team to the top, but at least he will not let the team fall into hell.
Right now, the eagle is almost in hell.
……
In tonight's post-match press conference, Richard took Ragabel and Nash to attend.
It's also strange to reporters.
Nash was like a different person under Richard.
Before Nash, everyone knew very well that the defense at the level of the black hole was simply to prevent anyone from breaking out......
But tonight Nash was in the case of the opposite Jet Terry, and the defensive end was quite in place!
If Nash's outstanding performance on the defensive end in the first game of the preseason is because the opponent is too vegetable, the same cannot be said tonight.
Although Terry is also a newcomer, his offensive ability is quite strong, and he can already see an average of nearly 20 points per game in the Hawks last season.
Such a hot offensive firepower was completely snuffed out by Nash tonight, and in the half game against Nash, he only scored a measly five points!
It's kind of incredible......
What kind of magic does Richard have that can make a black hole-level defensive player become a defensive titan in the blink of an eye?!
This is beyond the imagination of journalists.
As for Ragabel, who was brought to a press conference by Richard in this game, the reporters were not interested.
Although Ragabel's performance today was okay, scoring 14 points, it was far from Nash.
……
On the contrary, Richard caught Rajabel and praised it, and the throat monster who boasted was red-faced.
……
"Coach Richard, through the performance of the first two games, it seems that the Pistons' combat power is not as strong as fans think, is this the main lineup of the Pistons in the next few years?" The reporters asked curiously.
This question is one that all fans want to know......
Richard waved his hand, "Naturally, it's not the final lineup, fans who are familiar with me should know that my lineup is always changing." ”
"The current lineup can be said to be a kind of experiment for me."
"But this kind of trial will not last long, it will only last for one season at most."
"I hope to use this kind of experimentation to develop a new way of thinking for teams that have been confused......
Richard replied with a smile.
"Regardless of whether I am satisfied with the results of the experiment this season, next season will be the official start of the Pistons anyway!"
"I hope the Pistons fans and other fans can give us more patience!"
"Rome wasn't built in a day, and the Pistons aren't likely to win the championship right away!"
These words can be regarded as Richard's first ugly words, saving some fans from having illusions about this season.
Since this season is not ready to enter the playoffs, Richard can naturally rest assured that he can boldly experiment with the seven-second run-and-shoot tactic, and maybe he can use it in the future.
Small ball tactics are the trend of basketball development and the trend of basketball in the future, and Richard does not dare to guarantee that every season he coaches, the team can have a super interior line with strength.
And if there is no super inside line, playing small ball tactics will be the best choice.
Now Richard is planning ahead and taking advantage of this season to familiarize himself with small-ball tactics.
……
At the press conference, Richard learned that the Jazz played their first game of the preseason yesterday.
Originally, Sloan would definitely not let the team's main players play on the court for too long, and it would only last twenty minutes, after all, this is only a preseason.
But it was these twenty minutes that something went wrong.
Ricky Davis sprained his ankle in the eighth minute.
In eight minutes of playing time, Ricky Davis shot 1 of 8 and exploded with 2 points and 0 rebounds......
The result is such a bad data, this thing even sprained the ankle, after the team doctor examined, although the injury is not too serious, but at least have to recuperate for a month.
Sloane was dumbfounded......
He couldn't help but think of what Richard once said, Ricky Davis is already a wasted person, and whoever signs is unlucky......
Richard said this publicly, but no one took it to heart, and they all thought that Richard was underselling Ricky Davis.
Not to mention that Sloan doesn't believe it, even those coaches who are good friends with Richard don't believe it very much, for example, Ranbier doesn't believe it if he didn't scare Richard.
But now the weird thing is that Ricky Davis was injured in the first game of the preseason, and it was not a minor injury, it was injured for a month!
Could it be that what Richard said was true? He's not kidding?
Sloan thought worriedly.
But in the blink of an eye, this thought was thrown out of his mind, and what Richard said was completely impossible.
How can a good person become a waste......
Not all of what Richard said came true.
At least for now, Clark under his hand is still a parallel import.
……
Hearing that Ricky Davis was injured after just a few minutes of playing this season, Richard laughed.
"Coach Richard, are you going to use Zeon Clarke after the regular season begins?" A reporter stood up to ask questions.
Richard waved his hand directly, "Clarke's affairs are not in a hurry, at the moment I am letting him train alone, and I will not let him play for the time being." ”
"When I think he has the league's best interior quality, I'll let him play."
The reporters were dumbfounded, what do you mean? Is this what it means to prepare for the new season?
Seeing that Richard did not open his mouth to explain, although the reporters were confused, they did not know how to continue to ask.
……
In the next few preseason games, Richard didn't go straight to the seven-second run-and-shoot tactic.
Although this tactic doesn't seem to be big, like Hu Jiba fighting indiscriminately, it is actually a bit difficult to play.
The tactical essence of the seven-second run can be summarized as fast but not chaotic!
The first is to be fast, in fact, many teams can do it, as long as the team has a fast backcourt engine, plus teammates on the field can keep up with the rhythm of the engine.
Fast words are not critical......
The key is not to mess up!
When defending at half-time, as long as the opponent makes a shot, regardless of whether the ball goes in or not, your players immediately start to counterattack, and find an opportunity to shoot quickly after the ball reaches the front court.
In fact, many times this Suns team's offensive rounds only take a mere five seconds.
The tactical routine is not complicated, but the complexity is the difficulty of execution, so to speak, this seven-second offensive tactic, replaced by other players except Nash, I am afraid that the effect will be somewhat discounted.
Even a player like Kidd is estimated to be less effective than Nash in terms of running and shooting.
Now that Richard has got Nash in his hands, it is really unreasonable not to give full play to Nash's strengths.
……
On October 18, the Pistons' regular season opener.
Tonight Richard is ready to really sacrifice a seven-second run-and-gun tactic.
"Don't stop the ball, don't stick the ball!"
"When the ball is in your hand, it's either passed or thrown!"
"In each offensive round, the ball cannot be transmitted more than twice, and no more than seven seconds of offensive time can be consumed!"
"Attack against attack, firepower to win!"
"Tonight, we're going to play a game that will shake the league!"
Before the game began, Richard instructed the Pistons again.
They had practiced the seven-second attack for a period of time before, and it seemed that the effect was okay, mainly because Nash, a natural master of running and shooting, could make up for a lot of the problems exposed.
Now that the game is about to begin, Richard is once again telling his players the essence of the run-and-gun tactic.
Don't stop the ball, don't stick to the ball, and shoot decisively.
"Anderson, you play center, Gerrard and Corris, you two play forward, and the rest of the backcourt is Ragabel and Nash."
The seven-second run doesn't need a bulky big center, but rather an interior player like Anderson who is athletic, fast, and quite agile.
Xiao Si is a typical representative of this type of player......
Anderson is definitely far inferior to Xiaosi, but for now, he can only make do with it first, and when Clark can come back, let Clark take the position.
……
Soon, both sides began to appear.
The Pistons generals are actually a little drumming in their hearts, and they have been practicing this tactic given by Richard for some days.
It's cool to fight, but can you really win like this......
With such a fast run, the player's score is naturally rising, the key is that they don't have to think too much on the offensive end, just shoot without brains.
It's certainly a cool thing to be able to score high without thinking too much about it.
But because this tactic was too bold, they muttered in their hearts.
If you play like this, can you really win?
If they had asked, Richard would have given a positive answer.
If you play like that, you can really win, at least in the regular season.
As for the playoffs, that's not a good thing to say......
……
The Pistons' opponent tonight is the Washington Wizards, the old hooligans' Wizards.
In the offseason, Jordan announced the rather shocking news that he will return this season and become a member of the Wizards.
And right now, Jordan is indeed wearing a jersey and appearing on the sidelines of the Wizards.
Richard smiled at Jordan, who was also in a good mood, because at the moment, under his encouragement, he felt that the Wizards' lineup was quite strong.
The main thing is to get Kwame Brown, an inside line that he is quite optimistic about.
In the previous preseason games, Kwame Brown's performance was okay, although it didn't meet Jordan's expectations, but he was still acceptable.
And tonight he's going to prove to Richard what a wise choice he made for Kwame Brown.
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.
The starters from both sides began to take the field.
The starting lineup of the Wizards: center Lao Sa, power forward Kwame Brown, two swingmen Jordan and Hamilton respectively, and point guard Chris Whitney.
The flying car has been sold by Jordan......
Kwame Brown's physicality is really not blown, and when he jumped with Birdman Anderson, he helped the Wizards get the first ball with an absolute advantage.
Whitney held the ball, and Nash went straight to meet it and defended closely.
The shortcomings of the Wizards' lineup are undoubtedly Whitney's point, although he is also a veteran in the league for eight or nine years, but his strength is really a little unreliable.
In the highest season of his career, he only averaged 9 points per game.
In the face of Nash's strict defense, Whitney did not dare to act rashly, and passed directly to the old rascal on one side.
The reason why it was not passed to Hamilton was because Rajabel was quite well defended.
Hamilton ran frantically without the ball, and Ragabel followed closely all the time, giving Hamilton no chance to receive the ball in the slightest.
……
Seeing Jordan catch the ball and prepare to single out Gerard Wallace, Richard laughed.
That's interesting, Jordan fights Elvis......
Gerrard's face was quite solemn, although Jordan had not appeared on the court for three years, his prestige was still fresh in the memory of these young players.
Jordan was already on his feet and looked ready to use his signature back-to-back mid-range shot.
Gerrard also jumped high, ready to block Jordan's shot.
What he didn't expect was that Jordan's ball turned out to be a fake and real pass, and the trajectory of the ball was to be passed to Kwame Brown in the penalty area!
Jordan was a good idea.
Because Richard was going to play run-and-shoot tactics, there weren't any athletic tall players on the team, so he put Corris on the line.
Although Corris's defense is good, his body is not a notch worse than that of Kwame Brown.
Jordan's pass to Kwame Brown and letting him single Corris was a pretty smart choice.
……
What makes people speechless is that Jordan's ball may have been too strong, or the angle may be too tricky, Kwame Brown didn't catch the ball and watched the basketball go out of bounds.
Richard couldn't help but be speechless, Kwame Brown's butter hand really lived up to his reputation.
However, there may not be Jordan's reason for this, the passing force is too strong, the ball speed is too fast, and it is understandable that Kwame Brown did not catch it.
Although it is excusable, Jordan is a fryer.
pointed at Kwame Brown and scolded, and scolded Kwame Brown, who had just graduated from high school, and scolded......
As the first high school student in history, Kwame Brown had high hopes for Jordan.
Jordan is counting on him to be a player like O'Neal......
You can imagine the pressure on Kwame Brown now.
In the face of Jordan's angry scolding, Kwame Brown was a little trembling, his face was slightly red, and he didn't dare to speak at all.
Richard sighed, feeling some sympathy for the young man Kwame Brown.
Playing under Jordan is not easy, as long as the performance does not meet the expectations of the old rascal, it will inevitably provoke an angry scolding.
This is also the reason why Richard did not want to join the Wizards in the first place.
Although Jordan did not scold Richard in frenzy, there was nothing wrong with him scolding the newcomers on the team.
Maybe a group of newcomers recruited by Richard have given this old rascal a bloody head and lost confidence in the scolding.
Richard certainly wasn't happy to see such a scene.
Although he is usually strict with his players at times, most of the time he is mainly encouraging.
For example, Ragabel, I'm afraid that if he was under Jordan, after the first game of the preseason, Jordan would be able to eat him alive.
Think about how Lagabel still has confidence on the pitch in this situation.
……
"Defend against their offensive rounds!"
Jordan yelled at the Wizards.
Because the Wizards possessed the ball out of bounds, the Pistons had the ball next.
Corris stood out of bounds and took a quick free throw to Nash near the halfway line.
After Nash received the ball, he threw the ball with one arm like a cannonball, and threw it directly into the hands of Anderson, the birdman who was already waiting under the basket.
Anderson looked at the ball in his hand in disbelief, such a long distance, it was passed so accurately, and the force was just right.
Without even thinking about it, Anderson turned over on the spot and buckled!
The entire offensive round, which was extremely fast, only took three seconds!
……
Tonight was the Pistons' home stadium, and the fans cheered, and it was a beautiful ball that was enough to be in the top 10 of the day.
……
In the next few Pistons offensive rounds, all fans and experts were stunned by the Pistons' offensive rhythm......
It's just too fast!
It's almost to the point of dazzling.
Nash raced to the front court without even stopping, and as he went, he made a precise pass to Ragabel, who hit a three-point shot.
Or pass to Gerrard, who is in the air, so that Gerald can get the opportunity to cut the air.
Or when Lao Sa and Kwame Brown didn't return to defense in time, they quickly passed to Birdman Anderson, and Anderson made a dunk under the basket.
Everyone is stupid, and the first feeling is fast!
The pace of the offense was too fast, so fast that it was dazzling.
The second feeling is cool!
In just three minutes of the opening period, the Pistons had already scored five points in the open game, scoring 12 points.
The third feeling is Nash's ability to pass the ball.
When he was in the Mavericks before, because of the slow pace of offense, and Larry Hughes and Finley were both attackers who needed the ball in their hands, Nash's passing level was not maximized!
And tonight's Nash showed a terrifying passing ability.
In today's league, if you want to say that the strongest passing ability, it must be Kidd, the big boss of the Suns.
Even though Stockton is strong, he is already old.
And Nash's full firepower in just three minutes is amazing, and he seems to be stronger than Kidd in terms of passing control?!
