"Move, move! Keep moving! Don't stop! ”

At the Knicks Training Gym, the New York Knicks, who have completed the formation and are heading towards the dynasty, are in full swing training, and head coach George Carr is roaring on the sidelines.

In the new season, New York has a new squad and new goals, but also a new, more formidable enemy, so New York needs a new tactic, from strategy to tactics completely renewed.

At present, there are only twelve people in the Knicks' roster, and there are three spots left, which are important but not important, the Knicks need three plug-and-play players, and they don't even have to rush to find these three people now, the key now is the Knicks themselves.

The pressure from the West Coast puts the defending champion Knicks in a very depressed state, trying to cheer up his teammates, but obviously it's hard to calm down when your team is facing four Hall of Famer level players playing against you, not to mention the current set-up of a hundred times a day.

Rugby may be a sport with the most tactical changes, including the most tactical changes, in the past, Mo Xi just heard about it, but now he has some empathy, the current Knicks, their tactics are no less than football, he and the players of the New York Giants even privately compared the thickness of the tactical manual, even the most terrible thing is that even Mo Xi, who has always had a high basketball IQ, can't help but feel dizzy when facing these tactics now, let alone the rest of the Knicks. The only good news is that George Karl is constantly cutting out tactics that are not practical, useless, and not suitable for the Knicks, but Rao is so, the Knicks want to really adapt to the new system, and they have to do so late in the season, and this is what the media has been criticizing the Knicks before, their tactics are changing so often that the players don't even have time to really adapt to the system.

George Karl frowned, picked up a pen, opened his note, sketched it twice, and then shouted to the court: "Tactical change, triangle transposition F tactic!" ”

As soon as George Karl's voice fell, there was a "thunderbolt" on the field

George Carr was a little stunned, looked at the mess, and said, "What are you doing, messy mess, are you still elementary school students?" ”

Mo Xi said helplessly: "I think they haven't been able to figure out how to run tactics for a while. ”

George Karl also felt a little helpless when he heard it, he also came from the player, of course he understands that no team's tactical manual will have so many things, even if he is still constantly deleting, basketball is still different from rugby after all, in basketball games, according to the tactics arranged by the coach to play rounds, at most only 30%, and such a team is still the middle level of the league, but has a high discipline team, for the real strong team, the coach's arrangement, only accounted for 10% of the offensive rounds of the whole game~ 15% and the rest, all left to the players to play on the field.

In order to alleviate George Karl's embarrassment, Mo Xi stepped forward to borrow George Karl's tactics board and reexplained the tactics to everyone, while not forgetting to ask the head coach for specific arrangements at any time.

Looking at Mo Xi, who already had the style of a general, George Carr felt a burst of happiness.

Complex and numerous tactical arrangements, this is also not what George Karl likes, but the pressure is not only on the players, but also on George Karl, and even the entire coaching staff, the entire New York Knicks, the entire league, the Lakers' card strength is too strong, it is difficult to look directly at his light, although George Karl just got a ring, but just like Van Gundy, in fact, he has not really succeeded in proving that he is worthy of this ring, he only took over the Knicks for half a season, Although the tactics of the entire Knicks have been completely renewed, the foundation of the Knicks is still there after all, which cannot be regarded as the success of George Karl, this is the success of the Knicks, and the next season is undoubtedly the most important season for the New York Knicks since the establishment of the team, not even one, and once something goes wrong, the first thing to bear the brunt of must be his "inactive" head coach.

"I think we need to talk."

Mo Xi suddenly felt that no previous season had been to the head coach's office as many times this offseason, perhaps because any previous season was not as bad as this offseason?

Mo Xi sat there, looked directly at George Carr, and said frankly, "Do you need me to do anything in order to win?" Any change! ”

George Carr was quite moved when he heard Mo Xi's words.

Moxi's age is here, he is still far from being formed, and he can accept any kind of transformation, but those are based on the premise that Moxi is not a championship-level player, let alone a core player of a back-to-back dynasty, such players have their own pride, and they rarely change anything to adapt to others, because they have proven themselves right.

George Carr was taken aback by Moxi's surprise attack, as if he had been in the mood of the Knicks players who had been constantly changing tactics a few hours ago.

George Carr cleared his mind and said solemnly to Moxi: "I want to apologize to you first, Mo, I am a team coach, and I am still a coach who likes to bombard, obviously I am not the most suitable one for you." ”

Mo Xi smiled and said: "No, I think we have only been together for half a season, where can we talk about the suitability, maybe we can change something with each other and find the best for each other." ”

George Carr listened, laughed, and said, "Aren't you a science student?" How do I feel like you're a liberal arts man? ”

Mo Xi said: "No way, my mother is a liberal arts girl, and she will always be affected by it." ”

The expressions of the two were solemn at the same time, and George Carr said: "You have read my tactical manual, I believe you already know my tactical thinking very well, I need the Knicks to speed up, not only the offensive speed, but also the defensive end, increase the pressing, increase the defensive intensity, Spreville, Sioliv They are our most critical offensive and defensive transition points, in this regard, I hope you will increase the proportion of the defensive end in the future; And the second point is to lose weight and increase mobility, and I want you to be faster on mobile, even though you may be at a disadvantage on the inside because of this. ”

After finishing speaking, George Carr was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the two aspects he pointed out, one is that Mo Xi is not good at it, and it is also the kind of thankless job, and the other is even more desperate, Mo Xi finally achieved equal ability in the confrontation with Duncan and O'Neal, and suddenly made him lose weight, which is likely to lead to the decline of Mo Xi's dominance on the inside.

Then there was a long silence in the office.

Finally, Mo Xi gave a reply, and he said, "Okay, I'll try to do it." But I also have a little bit of an opinion, since we have also picked up the tempo on the defensive end, it would be better to slow down a little bit on the offensive end, and sometimes drop back for ten seconds? ”

George Carr pondered for a moment, and said, "You're right, I'm too fast, sometimes too fast is not necessarily a good thing, and the key point is that it may not be suitable for us." ”

The Knicks now have too many ball points, the No. 1 point of possession of the ball is Moxi, the No. 2 point of possession Gilbert Arenas, the No. 3 point of possession Latril Spreville plus the No. 4 point of possession rookie Carmelo Anthony, and even Jason Williams, Wang Zhizhi, and Mark Jackson can be regarded as a ball spot, and the pure off-ball offensive player is only Alan Houston alone. This can be developed into the advantage of the Knicks, through the continuous involvement of the formation of local singles, or the intersection of fast and slow tempo, with the rhythm of the court to break the opponent, George Carr felt that he was really under too much pressure before, too concerned about the consequences of failure, and ended up ignoring a lot of things.

So a new offensive system came to George Karl's mind.

George Carr spoke to Mo Xi as if he were talking to himself.

"A strong center is ready to go on the flanks, shooters are running back and forth along the baseline, the waist is ready to cut in on both sides, and someone on the court must be responsible for the rebound. I don't have much research on positional warfare, but there are some of them. The strength of the Knicks before was that we had unparalleled bench thickness, but with the departure of the old players, our biggest capital in the league has also dissipated, but in its place, we are excellent ball-handling offenses, last season's you, Arenas and Rasheed Wallace, it is no exaggeration to say that even in the Finals, the singles of the three of you can be used as conventional weapons, and even at the last moment, it is a strong medicine, and now Wallace is away from Detroit, Although we chose another scorer, Carmelo Anthony, he is a rookie after all, and it is doubtful that he can fully replace Wallace, but I don't think it's a big problem, and the two top scorers on the team at the moment are you and Arenas. ”

At this point, he interrupted George Carr's self-talk strategy and said, "I have some personal thoughts on the issue of singles with the ball. ”

George Carr directly penetrated Mo Xi's heart and said, "You want to reduce your own power and divide it, especially with Sprewell and Anthony, right?" ”

Mo Xi was speechless for a moment, and his idea was completely discovered by George Carr.

George Carr said: "You've actually had that behavior in the last few days of training, so how did you feel about the results? ”

Mo Xi frowned, a little unaware of what George-Karl meant.

George Carr said, "Ink, forgive me for saying that, but you are still very young, both as a man and as a leader. You have to know that although the leader of a team may not be the best person in the team, the one who scores the most points, and takes the most shots, he must be the person who can convince the people the most, and he is the person that everyone trusts. Sometimes, you think too much, you're too selfless, and sometimes, you need to be selfish, people trust you more than you think, you're the best center on the planet right now, so why shouldn't your teammates give you the ball? ”

Mo Xi was a little puzzled and asked, "You mean, let me increase my shots?" ”

George Carr nodded with a smile and said, "Do you want to try it, play 30+10 this season?" Then according to my requirements for you, defense, why should there be an average of 2+1 per game, do you want to try? ”

The deep provocation in George Carr's eyes was undisguised.

Mo Xi's heart was hot, and he agreed without hesitation, and said: "Okay, it sounds very interesting, so let's try it, I think about it, 30 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal per game?" Is that so? ”

George Carr nodded and said, "That's right. ”

For Mo Xi, victory far surpasses all honors, and deliberately brushing data is absolutely non-existent for him.

Mo Xi continued: "So, okay coach, let's continue our discussion of tactics, since you asked me to increase the number of individual singles, you know, this suits your style is completely different." ”

George Carl laughed and said, "My dear boy, do you still think that this new season you will be able to crush the interior as unscrupulously as in the past? ”

Mo Xi raised an eyebrow, clearly disagreeing with George Carr's words.

George Carr explained: "I'm not questioning your ability, but I'm going to emphasize to you one more fact, you've created a back-to-back dynasty, you've proven your strength to the fullest, and I'm sure you grew up watching Olajuwon play with them, so I think you should also remember clearly how Olajuwon was forced by people." Rest assured, this season, no team will make you feel comfortable receiving the ball, whether it's the Pistons, Spurs, Nets, Timberwolves, Kings or Galaxy Lakers. They're not going to let you and their post players really just stand there one-on-one, you're going to face an endless stream of packs, rounds, fouls. ”

Mo Xi was stunned, he didn't think about these problems at all, as George Carr said, he was still very young in terms of never writing.

However, George Carr's words made him wonder a little more, in this case, why should he lose weight on his own? Just to match the team as a whole?

George Carr said again: "I've always thought of team play, but only you, Mo, only you, I think any team play is a limit for you, and that's why I'm doing the Knicks now, although it still looks like team basketball, but in fact, it's the whole team basketball that serves you." I'm sure you can give me an excellent answer. ”

Mo Xi was silent for a while, and then said, "Then I want to train, Mr. Coach." ”
