Chapter 167: Away Summary
The slow-paced rocket was blown up directly by the grizzly bear.
Qiao Hai also tried to speed up in the second half, the effect was average, the main problem was that after the speed, the young players in the team could not adapt to the shot in the fast attack, and the shooting rate was not good, but fortunately, the Grizzlies' lead was very large, so the game was still won by the Grizzlies.
In the final game in November, the Grizzlies won 102-88, and in the last three games of November, the Grizzlies won three consecutive games at home.
They beat the Pacers, Timberwolves, and Rockets respectively, and the Grizzlies have further proved their quality, and now, no team in the league dares to underestimate the Grizzlies.
At the end of the first month, the Grizzlies fought 14 games, including 8 wins at home, 3 wins and 3 losses on the road, with an overall record of 11 wins and 3 losses, and the Spurs ranked 13-3 in the West, after the SuperSonics with 12 wins and 3 losses, they ranked third in the West with the 12-4 Trail Blazers.
Followed by the Lakers with 11 wins and 4 losses, the Suns and Kings with 9 wins and 5 losses, the Timberwolves with 8 wins and 5 losses, and the Jazz with 8 wins and 6 losses, plus the Nuggets who are ranked 10th in the West with 7 wins and 8 losses, these are the ten teams that are currently expected to make the playoffs in the West.
Others, such as the Mavericks and the Rockets, have fallen behind.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of November, the Lakers, who had one more game than the Grizzlies, lost one more game and ranked fifth in the West after the Grizzlies.
Phil Jackson led the team to only fifth place in the West, and such a result is obviously unsatisfactory.
Especially in front of the Grizzlies as a comparison, the former coach who led the Lakers to win the championship changed teams, and the results of the team were still better than Phil Jackson, which made Phil Jackson and Jerry West embarrassed.
With 11 wins and 3 losses in 14 games on November, Qiao Hai has a chance to compete for next Coach of the Month, but he has no hope of it.
With the Lakers last season, he brought the Lakers back to the playoffs in a wave, and he didn't win the Coach of the Month, and the teams with a better record than the Grizzlies in November have two in the West, Paul Westphall and Greg Popovich have a better chance of winning the Coach of the Month than Joe.
Qiao Hai on the eastern side is also not eligible to compete, because this award is divided into east and west, with the west competing for one and the east competing for the other.
Therefore, when there is basically no best coach in the month, Qiao Hai doesn't pay much attention.
On Dec. 1, the Grizzlies have a game.
They're going to challenge the Pacers on the road, but Qiao Hai now has a habit of playing a month's worth of games and summing it up.
Not only to sum up, but he also has to set a goal for next month's game, he has tasted the sweetness, set the goal of winning all home games in November, and the team won all the home games, and as soon as they play the home games, the players are like desperate for fear of losing.
The summary time is a little tight, the plane arrives in Indianapolis, the team stays in the hotel, under normal circumstances, just after staying at the hotel, Qiao Hai will let the players rest for half a day first, concentrate in the afternoon, and prepare for the evening game.
This time it was different, when he arrived at the hotel, Qiao Hai dragged his luggage and asked Byron Scott to arrange rooms for the team members, and then shouted in the hotel lobby: "Give everyone an hour, and after cleaning up, we will gather in the café." ”
Qiao Hai asked Lawrence Frank to negotiate with the hotel and found a private room in the café, Qiao Hai was about to have a meeting......
After packing his luggage, Qiao Hai waited for the team members to arrive in the private room of the café.
When everyone was together, Qiao Hai stood up directly, and he prepared two tactical boards in his hands.
"Okay, everyone, let's talk about the November game first......"
With the first tactical board hanging behind him, Qiao Hai continued: "In November, we performed well, 11-3, ranking third in the West, such a result, I think many people here did not expect. ”
As soon as Qiao Hai said this, Raheem and Mike Bibby laughed, indeed, they didn't expect that the team had changed its head coach, and the whole team was basically rebuilt except for the two of them, and no one was optimistic about the Grizzlies.
"Our tactics are also playing well, Princeton's tactics, the current offensive statistics are the first in the league, but the Kings and Pistons behind us are about to catch up, which shows that we still need to improve."
Speaking of progress, Qiao Hai directly cut the topic to December.
There is really nothing to say about November, with such a good record, it is impossible for Qiao Hai to criticize the team, so he can only move to December.
After summarizing November a little, in December, Qiao Hai began to set goals for this month.
"In December, we also had goals, and we should have not forgotten them, and in November our goal was to win all the home games, and we did it, winning all eight home games, and we beat a lot of strong opponents, the Trail Blazers, the Lakers, the Pacers, the Timberwolves, etc."
"In December, our goals are going to change, I don't want to win many games, in December, we have to change tactically, from each of you."
"In the second half of the Rockets, you should remember, we did the speed, but it didn't work very well, which means that everyone still needs to adapt to the Princeton tactics after the speed, so in December, our first goal is to speed up and adapt to the Princeton tactics after the speed, so that our offense is more threatening and the average points per game is higher."
Speed up is a must, after speeding up, the Princeton tactics will be the ultimate version of the Princeton tactics, fast running, covering and passing, the threat of the Princeton tactics will be maximized, and the Grizzlies' offense will reach its peak, so this goal has long been set by Qiao Hai.
Another tactical board was placed behind him, and Qiao Hai began to make specific adjustments.
The acceleration of Princeton's tactics is reflected in different teams in different ways, which is reflected in the Grizzlies' side, Qiao Hai's adjustment is to let Maddie increase the catch after the air cut, increase Maddie's ball possession, Maddie cut the ball in the middle distance, end the offense when he has the opportunity, and pass the ball quickly if he doesn't have the opportunity.
Through this kind of quick air cut catch, quick finishing attack, fast passing, to complete the speed.
Correspondingly, the other players' off-ball runs must also be accelerated, and they must arrive at the designated location in advance.
So it's really a bit complicated to adjust, Qiao Hai doesn't think that the Grizzlies can adapt to the Princeton tactics after the acceleration in a month, maybe the team's record will fluctuate, but Qiao Hai doesn't care, anyway, the Grizzlies' record in November is good enough, and the next acceleration adaptation stage, as long as the Grizzlies can remain in the playoffs, it will not affect Qiao Hai's plan.
After speeding up, Qiao Hai handed out a new training plan to everyone.
Qiao Hai's training plan is a treasure, Stan Love, Byron Scott they know this very well, but the Grizzlies players have not felt much, but Stamrefour They believe that according to Qiao Hai's training plan for another month or two, many players will feel their own improvement.
The training program in December is different from November.
For example, Chauncy Billups, in November, his training focused on shooting stability, but in December, Billups's training focus became offense with the ball, and Qiao Hai asked Billups to increase the ball and increase the number of shots in the ball.
Another example is Rahim, in November, Rahim's training focused on mid-range shooting, and in December, Qiao Hai asked Raheem to continue to expand, and long-distance two-point shots and even three-point shots had to be practiced.
Of course, there are also training plans that have not changed, such as Sean Marion, whose shooting hand correction continues, so Marion's training focus is still on the correction of shooting hand, but Qiao Hai also added a new training focus to Marion, which will not affect Marion's daily training.
All it takes is Marion to switch to the number four position during the team's training matches as an interior assistant defense.
The Grizzlies' good momentum now makes Qiao Hai greedy, and he wants to grab two shots, one to speed up Princeton and strengthen the offense, and the other is for Shaun Marion to practice to help defend and strengthen the defense......
