Chapter 594: Adjustment (1/4)

After a heavy loss to the Celtics, the Bobcats returned home to back-to-back games against the Warriors.

The Warriors are not a defensive team, but in this game, they also relied on the gourd, directly compressing the space on the inside, preventing the Bobcats from playing their air cuts and passes.

But in this game, the Bobcats forced a wide range of transfer balls, and although there were some mistakes, the Warriors' overall defense was unable to prevent the Bobcats from scoring.

So, in this game, the Bobcats played quite well, with a halftime of 54:51, and a 3-point lead.

In the second half, the Bobcats also continued to suppress the Warriors, although there were more mistakes, but overall, their offense was barely played.

In the end, the Bobcats narrowly defeated the Warriors 107-103 and finally ended the losing streak.

Also after a fiasco, he found a little bit of form.

……

But on Nov. 16, the Bobcats played at home against the Jazz again.

In this game, the old coach Jerry Sloan directly adopted the strategy of the Celtics, compressing the space all over the court and cutting the formation of the Bobcats.

The Bobcats' offense was directly blocked by the defense, and they forced a wide range of transfer balls, and a wave of explosive mistakes quickly appeared.

In this game, the Bobcats lost to the Jazz 85-107.

……

The day after another fiasco, there were some changes in the Bobcats' tactical training.

Qiao Hai increased the practice of transferring the ball in a wide range for all players, but Qiao Hai also knew that this practice was long-term and difficult to achieve results in the short term.

Therefore, Qiao Hai also began to think about how he should change and lead the team through some adjustments that do not affect the overall situation.

Soon, he thought of one person - Tony Kukoc.

In terms of fame, Tony Kukoc should be the most famous player in the Bobcats team other than Anfernee Hardaway, who joined the Bulls when Michael Jordan retired for the first time in 1993 and has since become an important member of the Bulls.

And after Michael Jordan's comeback, Tony Kukoc became the super sixth man in the Bulls' third consecutive championship.

After Michael Jordan's second retirement, Tony Kukoc became the core of the Bulls' rebuild, and although he led the team to extremely poor results, Tony Kukoc, who holds three championship rings, still became the core of the Bobcats' locker room this season and served as the Bobcats captain.

Johi also gave the veteran a lot of respect, with Tony Kukoc holding out the rookie Josh Smith for a starting spot.

Now, Johi thinks about Tony Kukocchi again, and he decides to use the veteran's strength to help the Bobcats get through it.

……

"Sit down, Tony."

In Qiao Hai's office, Tony Kukochi sat in front of Qiao Hai.

He didn't know why Qiao Hai was looking for him, he only knew that after two consecutive defeats, the Bobcat had fallen into a difficult situation.

Outside, almost all the media are claiming that after the crushing defeat to the Celtics, the Bobcats have been torn off their dark horse appearance, and then there will be a fall from top to bottom.

Tony Kukoc doesn't think so, because in the past few seasons, his team, whether it is the Bulls or the Bucks, has lost a lot.

But the young players on the Bobcats team have been affected a lot by this public opinion environment, and Tony Kukocchi also knows that Qiao Hai must make a change.

Behind the desk, Qiao Hai has been holding a tactical board, writing and drawing.

After a while in the office, Qiao Hai put down the tactical board and sat down to look at Tony Kukoc, who had been sitting for a while.

"Tony, how's it going, is it any different to be on a brand new team?"

Joe Hai first talked to Tony Kukoc, who knew that Tony Kukoc, who holds three championship rings and a Sixth Man of the Year trophy, was the leader of the locker room, and he could learn some real-time news about the team through Tony Kukoc.

"It's good, it's a positive young team, completely different from the Bulls and Bucks that I was in before."

Qiao Hai smiled: "That's good, so far, our record looks good, 3 wins and 3 losses, but Tony, you should know very well that there are still some problems within our team." ”

Tony Kukoc nodded, the problem within the Bobcats, he was well aware that although the Bobcats were also winning, they had won three games.

But recently, the Bobcats have had two heavy defeats of more than 20 points, and they finally won one game, winning the Warriors, who have lost seven in a row.

It can be said that if Qiao Hai does not make changes, as those media reporters said, the Bobcats are likely to usher in a wave of dismal schedules, and then the rankings will fall directly into the lotto area.

"So, now, we need to make some changes." Tony Kukochi still didn't quite understand why Qiao Hai wanted to talk to him privately, and Qiao Hai continued: "If we want to change, we need you to do more. ”

As soon as he said this, Tony Kukochi understood that it turned out that the changes that Qiao Hai had to make were mainly up to him.

After Tony Kukoc nodded, Qiao Hai then put up the tactical board he had just written: "We're going to give you a new position, this position is outside the three-point line, the top of the arc and the left and right sides of the top of the arc, you need to make a transfer station in this new position, catch the ball, share the ball, and organize the offense." ”

Johi gave Tony Kukoc a role similar to Draymond Green in the 73-win Warriors, where he responded to the offense from a high post.

But this positioning is different, because the Bobcats will first play a small area of pass-and-cut combinations, and then through this pass-and-cut coordination, they will attract the defense to the strong side.

Then pass Tony Kukoc high post, as a stopover, and then distribute the ball to the wing.

"This new position might be a bit demanding of you, confidence, Tony?" Qiao Hai naturally asked Tony Kukocchi about his personal wishes in the end.

As Qiao Hai expected, Tony Kukochi naturally nodded in agreement: "No problem, boss, I can take on the task of high-level strategy, it's not difficult." ”

Tony Kukoc is a team player who has proven himself in a dynastic team, and such a team player, in general, is quite self-sacrificing, team minded, and willing to follow the arrangement.

……

Tony Kukoc agreed to Qiao Hai's change, and so, on the same day, the Bobcats began to practice the new style of play.

Tony Kukocz appeared in the high post, and several core players of the Bobcats on the strong side kept taking the ball and singles and then attracting substitutes to the strong side.

After the pinch, the core player gave the ball to Tony Kukoc, who was high in the arc, and then the bench player had to divide one more player to defend Tony Kukoc, who had consistent three-point firepower.

At this time, Tony Kukoc can divide the ball as he wants, he can distribute the open players on the weak side, or he can distribute them to the strong side, and once again give the core players on the strong side singles.

It can be said that with such a tune, the attack of the Bobcat is all alive.
