"Old Coach K" Mike Shashewski had a serious face, and the smiles on the faces of the players disappeared instantly when he saw the great god stand up.

In fact, Šašewskiy is the true soul of the American team.

Believe it or not, the Hall of Fame head coach has only been a head coach on the Duke University basketball team, he is the first coach to win a thousand NCAA games, he has led Duke to the NCAA Finals eight times and won five times, and he is the first college coach to coach the American Dream Team.

How can Ho De, the head coach of an NCAA team, coach the star-studded United States?

It all started with the 2004 Athens Olympics, after the "Dream Five" and "Dream Six Team" lost the 2002 Men's Basketball World Cup and the 2004 Olympic Games one after another, NBA legendary coach Larry Brown announced his resignation as head coach of the United States. The "Dream Team" has lost continuously in the international arena to the extremely disappointed arrogant American fans, and at this time, none of those famous NBA coaches dare to take over the hot potato of the "Dream Team".

At the time of crisis, the American Basketball Association thought of Mike Shashewski, the "old K coach" who has a high reputation in college basketball, and the two sides hit it off without too much negotiation.

After Shashewski took over, he fundamentally changed the team, ending the "Dream Team's" years of impromptu selection of players for different games, and building a stable team with James, Anthony, Wade, and Bosh as the core of four rookies in the class of 2003.

He asked the players of the U.S. team to devote themselves to the preparation of the national team for a long time, including regular training camps and match-in run-ins, and strictly ordered them to concentrate on preparing during the competition. In addition, he tried to make the players as familiar with each other as possible, creating a good team atmosphere and turning the team into a more team spirit.

Under Šashewski's leadership, the U.S. team was humiliated, and although they lost the 2006 World Cup again, they went on to win gold medals at Beijing 2008, London 2012, and the 2010 and 2014 Men's Basketball World Cups.

It can be said that Shashewski is a big man admired by all American players, and his prestige is incomparable, as long as he gives an order, even big-name players such as LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony will obediently perform tasks, which is the unique personality charm of "Old Coach K" as a head coach.

At this time, the "old Coach K" was obviously unhappy, he picked up the tactical board and began to reprimand the players.

"Malik (Newman), you are too underestimated, he is Roy, not an ordinary Chinese player, he is the No. 1 high school student in the United States, have you read the tactical manual I sent you? It's written clearly, avoid any kind of one-on-one with Roy! ”

As soon as Shashewski reprimanded, Newman's face became even more ugly, and he nodded and admitted his mistake.

"Listen, the opponent is playing artillery tactics, and they are very fast. We can't press with the whole court anymore, this will leave too much space for Roy, and the next defensive tactics will be changed to 3-2 zone defense, the Chinese team's interior line is not powerful, you can give other players the opportunity to shoot outside, but you must be optimistic about Roy. In addition, the offense is the same, bypassing Roy and directly attacking their weaknesses, do you understand? ”

Šašewski's finish scanned the bench, his piercing eyes watching the expressions of each player until he felt that everyone on the pitch had clearly understood his instructions, and then encouraged them to return to the pitch.

The adjustment of "Old Coach K" was immediate, and when Roy returned to the court, he found that everything was different.

Newman was still angry, but he stopped attacking his point, and he made a crisp pass to Denzel Valentine, helping him score two points on an easy jumper, and at 21:38, the U.S. team regained the situation.

The changes for the U.S. team weren't just in offense, as he found himself in big trouble when Roy was attacking.

The U.S. team actually played a joint defense, which is the best way for NCAA teams to defend. Of course, Roy knows how powerful the joint defense is, not to mention that no matter where Roy moves, there will always be two people who try to come up and not give him an easy shot, and when Roy chooses to pass the ball to the gap, the opponent will rotate and fill the position as quickly as possible.

It can be said that under the tutelage of "Coach Old K", this American team composed of NCAA All-Stars has really become a tight-fitting basketball machine.

The ball finally returned to Roy's hands, time was running out, and against the defense, Roy pulled a three-pointer from a long distance, and the ball smashed heavily on the basket.

The U.S. team's counterattack was lightning fast, and it was Malik Newman who controlled the ball and counterattacked, and Roy was busy sticking to him as soon as possible, knowing that he had to intercept the opponent's attack at this source.

Intercept the opponent's attack by any means, including unconventional means.

"Hey, Malik, are you running away from me? You also avoided the last ball, are you afraid of me? You're still not the best point guard in the NCAA, Malik Newman? It's a coward's act to run away from me. ”

Roy followed Newman and kept trash talking.

But Newman was unmoved, although his expression unmistakably told Roy that he was extremely annoyed, but he was still strictly implementing the tactics of "Old Coach K".

Another pass was hoisted to center Diamond Stone, and without Zhou Qi's inside, Stone was like no one, and a small hook hand turned his back scored two more points, 21:40, and the score opened again.

It's really amazing, Roy sincerely admires it, he admires Shashewski's on-the-spot command, and even more admires the tactical execution ability of these NCAA players.

There has to be a change, and the best way to break the defense is to shoot from the outside, but that requires fast ball transfer and consistent shooting skills.

And these teammates around them, can they do it?

Roy was determined to give it a try and use his "coach on the field" to test the players' ability to break the defense.

Roy said to do it, the next goal of the attack, he began to command the whole team to operate, the overall combat effectiveness of the Chinese team has increased sharply, if the United States team's joint defense is as precise as a machine, then the Chinese team's current cooperation is also like a never-ending assembly line.

This is a contest between the American shield and the Chinese spear, and it is also a brain contest between the legendary coach Shashewski and the coach Roy on the field.

The tactical confrontation between the two teams is inseparable, and in terms of on-the-spot scheduling, Roy, who can flexibly adjust his attack at any time, is superior.

Fan Bin may not have imagined that the technical and tactical problems that he had been training for several months were actually broken by Roy on the field.

Under Roy's non-stop command and dispatch, the passing and running frequency of the national youth team is getting faster and faster, and the basic skills of Chinese players are not bad, they just lack high tactical literacy and independent thinking ability, but under Roy's overall command, all this is no longer a problem.

Roy is their eyes, their brains.

Under the continuous conduction and interspersing, the rotation defense of the American team could not keep up, and there was finally a gap in their airtight defensive line, Ji Boyan got the opportunity to make an empty three-pointer, he took a deep breath and hit a jumper, 24:40, at this time there were less than 8 minutes left in the first half of the game.

Fan Bin was shocked, the fans were happy, and Shashewski was stunned.

He was amazed at Roy's on-the-spot scheduling ability, why can a team be commanded by a simple few words such as "left", "right", "run" and "pass". According to the general situation, even the team's brain point guard will only shout the tactical code name on the court according to the coach's intentions, and a player like Roy who is almost all over the court directing the actions of his teammates is indeed rare, could it be that these tactics are not Coach Fan's intention at all?

Roy's observation is definitely not simple, he can not only find gaps, but also use them, but Shashewski does not want to change the tactics, he still holds his breath, and his eyes signal Newman to continue with the original tactic.

The so-called offensive tactics of the American team are actually the star singles tactics that bypass Roy, and Roy may have the most say in this tactic, and high school basketball in the United States is basically covered by this X**D star singles tactics.

That's not to say that Shashewski doesn't have the skills, on the contrary, he has the most tactical knowledge in the country. The reason why he plays like this is purely because there is no need to run any complicated tactics to deal with the defense of this level of the national youth team.

Why not score in the most effortless way?

But now, that tactic has instead fulfilled Roy.

Roy is born with a "tactical eye", which allows him to change his offensive and defensive strategies at any time during the game, and if he also has the characteristics of a "coach on the field", then he has the means to change the offensive and defensive strategies of the whole team.

The individual defensive ability of Chinese players may not be outstanding, and their physical fitness may be very average, but if they are cohesively cohesive, the power they exert is not trivial.

Like now.

Shashewski's eyes were already wide, he couldn't believe that under Roy's dispatch, the Chinese team's defensive formation changed rapidly, and they actually played the same "3-2 joint defense" as the American team......
