Chapter 226: Tactical Core
I have to say that the process of Chen Yu's progress is really fast.
It's a great honor to go from being a player on the edge of the bench to being one of the Lakers' main point guards and even one of the tactical cores.
Of course, this is mainly because Chen Yu's position is a point guard, and most of D'Antoni's cultivation is in the training of point guards, and it is really understandable that Chen Yu has become the tactical core.
Such a change, for Chen Yu, first of all, is of course an honor and a rare opportunity, and secondly, it is also a huge pressure, he knows that the previous era of enjoying the shade under the big tree has passed, and he has to take on a lot of responsibilities.
If you play well, there will be good things for next season and even the rest of your career, including the 25 attribute points that you can get, which is full of temptation. But if you don't play well, you can't talk about a lot of things.
Today started a variety of tactical drills, Chen Yu is also keeping in mind various tactics, and at the same time, he also knows that Kobe Bryant is not in the team now, Chen Yu has to rely on himself for many things, and many people may have some opinions about themselves Now it is brewing.
Anyway, there are a lot of things, and they are all focused on the front of you.
It's just that Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning.
The Lakers' first game after Kobe Bryant's injury is finally a home game, and they will be at home against the Denver Nuggets.
In fact, the Nuggets team back then was also Chen Yu's youthful memory, and the era of Iverson and Anthony's golden guns was also a team full of vitality and carried a lot of faith. It's just that the Nuggets haven't had particularly good results in that era, but instead advanced to the Western Conference finals after trading away Iverson.
It's just that now the Nuggets are once again different......
Anthony is gone, Billups is gone, and now the Nuggets are a brand new team, and the current Nuggets are still very strong!
Now, the Nuggets can sit in third place in the West, although the team has had a difficult start to the season, which is why Iguodala has just arrived and Gallinari has not fully recovered, and as the season has progressed, the Nuggets have gradually improved, and even set the best winning streak in team history.
The Nuggets have a very good roster right now, and they can field two teams. Iguodala is a superstar in the starter, Lawson and Faried have the potential to be superstars, Gallinari is outstanding, all three should be very immediate, and Miller is a bit older on the bench, but he is experienced and sometimes still a bench bandit.
In addition, the strength of Chandler, Brewer and others in the team can play as starters, and the rookie Fournier is also good, such a Nuggets has the most abundant forward line......
They are now ranked third in the West, and for good reason.
Chen Yu also had a headache......
In the first game after Kobe Bryant, he actually had to face this powerful team directly.
Before the game, D'Antoni specifically found Chen Yu and began to explain things related to the next game.
D'Antoni and Chen Yu analyze the Nuggets' footage.
In fact, this is also a learning process, the two sides can have a good exchange, in addition, Chen Yu can also better understand D'Antoni's thoughts and know how to play this team.
"Chen, you must know that they are a very strong opponent, and you can't easily destroy them! Especially these ......" D'Antoni pointed to a few balls from the Nuggets on the screen and said: "Right now, the Nuggets are the league's No. 1 frontcourt rebounding team, and they break through from multiple angles, make layups, and rush to the frontcourt for rebounds. George Carr (Nuggets head coach) has long said that the best shot distribution is '10 free throws, 10 jump shots, 10 breakaways,' ......
Chen Yu said: "So, breaking through and disrupting our defense is their lifeblood!" ”
"That's right!" D'Antoni said: "I can't ask you too much for the defense, to win them, the main thing is to start with the attack!" ”
"The Nuggets' defense is dominated by a lot of defensive changes and collaborative interference, and they are good at making mistakes and can make blocks. But do you know what they're most afraid of? ”
"What?"
"Three-pointers!" D'Antoni slammed it on the paper and said: "Especially since they are scared of the group of spot-shooters, by the time of the last game, they had allowed their opponents to hit 607 three-pointers over their heads!" You know what this concept is. ”
"So, three-pointers! is the key to winning! D'Antoni concluded: "And, you have to know, Gallinari is still injured, and this is a good opportunity. ”
"I see!"
Chen Yu snorted.
In his heart, in fact, Chen Yu already has some ideas now.
With this tactical position, D'Antoni's tactics for Chen Yu will also increase accordingly, anyway, in the next game, D'Antoni will arrange a lot of blocking and dismantling for Chen Yu, which can make him more comfortable to control the overall situation.
Of course, there is only a limit to how much preparation can be made now, because many things will not make you understand what it is until they actually happen.
For this game, many people are not optimistic.
This is true even for fans at home.
"Don't look at Chen Yu's outstanding performance in the last game, but this also consumes him a lot, and he will definitely become the outside core in this game, he will be targeted, and the physical consumption will be very large! Really worried about him! ”
"The Nuggets are really too strong, I didn't expect Chen Yu to be such a vicious opponent in the first game of the big beam, and I really felt uncomfortable for him......"
"There's really no way, Chen Yu may be really fatal! Let's just hope the Lakers can give him a little more patience. ”
Although many people recognize Chen Yu's strength, for them, it is almost impossible for the Lakers to defeat the Nuggets in the next game!
The game between the Nuggets and the Lakers was officially held in such a public opinion environment!
When Chen Yu rushed out of the players' tunnel, he suddenly felt that many things had changed.
Although Gasol Artest is still on the team, it is clear that he is now at the Staples Center and has become one of the protagonists.
Coming out of the players' tunnel, the dividing line from darkness to light was simple and clear, and Chen Yu heard the cheers in the sky, mixed with many voices shouting his name.
These voices ignited Chen Yu's passion little by little.
In this game, even if the opponent is the Nuggets who are third in the West, Chen Yu also has full confidence!
