Chapter 20 Red and White Training Match
In early February, after the game against the Cavaliers, the Nets had about four consecutive days off.
The rest day is divided into three days of normal rest like a small long holiday, and one day of intensive training.
On February 5, in the Nets arena.
Closed training, so there was no media visit.
Head coach Frank arranged a full training session, including red and white group matches, half-court offensive and defensive drills, basic player skills polishing, physical training and so on.
Physical training is always put last, and the more you reach the limits of physical training, the more you can stimulate the physical potential of the players.
Frank gathered everyone and held a training camp to give a kick-off speech.
The red-and-white team was then arranged, and two assistant coaches were needed to lead the team, according to the previous one, it should be the first assistant coach John Loyer to lead the first team, and then the defensive assistant Tom Barres to lead the first team.
But now it's Wang Tomorrow, and Wang Tomorrow has shown good tactical guidance and response ability in a few games, so Frank temporarily decided that Wang Tomorrow will lead one team alone, with physical trainer Pat Savian assisting him, and John Loyer and Tom Barres leading the other team.
Although there was no media present, the Nets had their own dedicated cameraman to record the whole process as information for future research.
Red and white groups are grouped, with a group of starting main players and then a group of substitute players.
In training matches like this, the players play for real time, which means how long the players can actually play in the game in the manager's mind.
Although the players try to protect themselves and their teammates from injury, there are still some injuries because of such high-intensity training games, and sometimes many injuries in the NBA occur during normal training games.
John Loyer is the main player, and Wang Ming is the substitute.
After half an hour of training and five timeouts each, Lawrence Frank picked up the whistle and acted as the referee on the field.
Wang tomorrow summoned the substitute players, and his eyes swept over the faces of the substitute players.
PG Jacques Vaughn, SF Ramon Murray, SF Antoine White, PF Scott Pagett, PF Clifford Robinson, SG Zoran Pranich, PF Persian Jane Naheba.
"I'm going to lay out the basic tactics."
There is a shortage of defenders on the bench, a bunch of players on the front line, Wang Ming thought about it for a while, and then made some adjustments in his heart according to the information he obtained from the detection of these players before.
.......
"The daily mission - to coach a game and win is underway."
There was a prompt from the system, Wang Mingming's spirit was lifted, he didn't expect that the team's training match was also within the system's default range of first wins, he originally thought that he had to become the head coach to complete this task, but now it seems that he doesn't have to wait so long.
The premise is to defeat the main lineup led by John, which is not easy.
Players from both teams played, with the red team being a lineup of Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, Kostic and Jason Collins.
The White Kings lineup tomorrow: Jacqui Vaughn, Antoine White, Rammond Murray, Clifford Robinson and Persian Jane Nakhba.
The red team won the kick-off, and Kidd dribbled through the half court to organize the attack.
The substitute players are much worse in terms of talent, the 1.93 Kidd is half a head taller than the 1.85 meter Jacqui Vaughn, Jacqui Vaughan is thin, and the Kidd is much stronger, pushing directly back to the free throw line, Vince Carter comes out to catch the ball, and it is Antoine White who defends Carter.
"Regional joint defense."
Frank's eyes lit up, and Wang Ming arranged a regional joint defense, a variant of 131, and two bottom corners were vacated, which was obviously aimed at the breakthrough defense arrangement made by the main players.
"Shoot three points as you like, don't even think about breaking through."
After Carter got the ball, he found that in addition to Antoine White, who followed him, there was also the veteran Robinson on the side of the ball, and he reacted quickly, turning his back and dribbling to the other side.
Antoine White withdrew in small broken steps as Wang Ming taught, and the moment Carter turned around, he stuck up again, raising his long arms high, and his movements were standardized.
Frank was very surprised, when did Antoine White's defense get so good? With just the details of these two lateral movements, it can be seen that he has completely predicted Carter's movements.
Antoine White doesn't know how happy he would have been if he knew Frank was thinking, but in fact, he was able to defend like this because Wang told Antoine White tomorrow that if Carter had his back to the ball, there was an 80 percent chance that he would end up turning his back.
Carter rolls over and jumpers, is interfered with, and doesn't score.
Robinson protected the rebound and handed it to Jacqui Vaughn with one hand.
Vaughn may be a little thinner, but he is extremely fast, and has been a substitute for Jason Kidd this season, a sharp knife on the bench.
He was like a black bolt of lightning, advancing rapidly.
The king will assign him a task tomorrow - speed up, speed up, speed up and speed up.
The bench players ran frantically to the frontcourt, and Jacqui Vaughn passed to Clifford Robinson, who was on the side, in a very classic Nets Princeton style of play.
The main players were quite tight, and the white team made a blank screen on the weak side, with Persian Jane Naheba as the wall and Antoine White skimming over the wall.
Amazingly, the wall actually ran out of the three-point line after covering for the air cutters.
Posjan Nakhba is a player that the Nets have just traded in the past few days, and he previously worked as a backup forward for the Hornets, the Slovenian power forward has a soft shooting touch and accurate shooting from beyond the three-point line, but this season, he has been disturbed by injury factors and has a low accuracy from beyond the three-point line.
Collins hesitated, unsure of the team's new signing.
Robinson scored a point, Persian Jane raised his hand directly from the outside, like a high battery, his toes were slightly off the ground, and the ball was already shot.
The basketball crossed a wonderful arc, "whoosh" and fell into the net.
"Good shot! Beautiful passes, beautiful shots! ”
Head coach Frank applauded and commented that the tactical coordination of the substitute players this time was simple and effective, and Naheba was even more ruthless and unrelenting, and it seemed that the team had no problem with this transaction.
First Assistant Coach John Loyer was sweating slightly.
The sidelines seem to be talking and laughing, but in fact there is an undercurrent, this time the temporary arrangement of head coach Frank, in fact, did not consider the level of the two, Wang Mingming's existence threatens his position as the first assistant coach, if he can not lead the red team to defeat the white team, I am afraid that the first assistant coach position is not guaranteed.
This made him anxious, once he lost the first assistant coach, he would lose not only his name, but also a lot of income.
Head coach Frank's salary is $2.5 million, and his salary as the first assistant coach is $1 million, while the fourth assistant coach like Wang Mingming has a salary + bonus of less than $100,000.
The regional defense has had a great breakthrough impact on the main team, and the main offensive efficiency is very low, relying only on Kostic's attack on the inside to score 2 points.
On the contrary, under the guidance of Wang Mingming, the substitute used the tactics of covering the reverse run, cutting the front line empty, and pulling away from the center, and actually scored 7 points, leading the main force 7-2.
The two sides did not count the score, but the number of goals, and in just 3 minutes, they scored 7 goals, and the offensive fluency was amazing.
"He's so strong? Can make such a tactical arrangement! Frank's heart set off turbulent waves, and the king of the ancient wells has a strength far beyond his age.
I'm afraid, I still look down on him.......
