"I think you've all analyzed the footage of the Bucks vs. Hornets game, so let's talk about what you think!" Brown sat in the main seat, writing and drawing on paper with a pen and pen as he spoke to the rest of the coaching staff.

With three days to go until the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Bucks only ended their tiebreaker with the Hornets last night, it can be said that Brown's arrangement is very timely. In his opinion, two or three days of preparation time is already sufficient, and on paper, they are the stronger side, and it is already very good to be able to make targeted arrangements.

At Brown's suggestion, everyone began to talk about it, but basically everyone thought that the team should maintain their advantage and play against the Bucks, and even more radically thought that they should play three-pointers against the Bucks' three musketeers, but Brown just sat quietly and listened, occasionally frowning and occasionally thoughtful.

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded in the conference room: "Coach, I don't think I think we have to defend, and only by limiting their shots on the defensive end can we have any hope of winning the game." ”

Before Brown could speak, an assistant coach asked, "Chang, we all know it's the best way to beat them, but what can we do to limit their shots?" I think it's too difficult......"

Chang Wei nodded and said, "It's true, it's very difficult, but the difficulty doesn't mean we can't do it. I've found that everybody wants to play against the opposition, and it's true that we have a lot of offensive firepower, but we can't be sure if the opponent will shoot more perverted shots, and once the shooting team shoots like crazy, it doesn't work. ”

Brown finally spoke: "You go ahead and talk about your ideas, even if it doesn't work, you can give everyone a new idea." In fact, Brown is still a coach who values defense at heart, as evidenced by the fact that Bale quickly rose to become the main rotation player, and although he has a large number of offensive players at his disposal, he prefers players who are good on the defensive end.

Chang Wei was not modest, he stood up and said: "We have played against them in the regular season before, their tactics are meritorious, and they can completely create shooting space for their shooters, so it is difficult for us to limit them from the perspective of blocking space." So I thought we could do something about physical confrontation? ”

"If we can keep their high-intensity close defense throughout the game and keep interfering as they shoot, I don't think they're going to be able to shoot for four quarters, right? Or rather, we can force them to shoot difficult balls, which are good to hit a few per game, and they are not God......"

This time it turned out to be Brown: "What if they keep getting shooting fouls?" ”

Chang Wei smiled and said: "Everything is risky, and defense is a more passive behavior than offense, but I think the price of paying a few fouls is bearable." And I'm confident in the players that they're not going to be so stupid to put their opponents at the free throw line every round, right? Such a stupid person should have been swept away by the team a long time ago, didn't he? ”

Everyone laughed, and so did Brown, knowing very well how many people on the team could contribute to the team on the defensive end right now, and it wouldn't be difficult to come up with a purely defensive lineup to start. Of course, he has to ensure the team's offense, and if all the defensive players can't be prevented, how can he chase points?

He tapped the table with his pen and said, "I think Chang's idea is reasonable, do you have any other opinions?" ”

"Coach, do you really think we're going to be able to stop their shots? I think the three musketeers are a little too sharp...... "There are still people who have questions about Brown, and his questions are so stupid in Chang Wei's opinion, are you really the assistant coach of the No. 1 team in the league?" Can you not be so cowardly? That's not our style!

Soon Brown said what Chang Wei wanted to say: "Blair, we are the first team in the East, or even the first team in the league, we don't need to be afraid of anyone, we just need to do everything we can to beat them." ”

"Did I hear me right? Are we going to focus on defense in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals? It's the worst news I've heard this season......" Lewis, the only defensive player in the starters, said with a sad face as Brown made the announcement before the start of the training session. Although the voice was small, Chang Wei could hear it clearly from the side, and he grinned, revealing snow-white teeth with a cold cold light shining on them, "Rashad, believe me, this is just the beginning, if nothing else, we will have to take the same approach to deal with the Bucks' offense throughout the series." ”

Lewis lowered his head weakly, as if he saw Brown remove himself from the starting line-up, and oh my god, this is worse news than the team playing defensively! But Lewis quickly looked up in shock, because he clearly heard Brown say: "I won't change the starting lineup in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but I hope you can all show a stalking attitude, because it's a matter of making or breaking our game!" If you can't prevent it, it's equivalent to losing! ”

Then the corners of Brown's mouth curled a little: "And I've got a bench ready behind you, if I see someone who isn't working hard enough on the defensive end, I'll replace you as soon as possible, and I'll do it!" ”

After saying that, he clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly: "Boys, now show your two hundred percent enthusiasm, let's practice defense well, I hope the crazy offense in the regular season has not made your defensive genes disappear!" There are less than three days left until the first race, so everyone is running for me! Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

Watching everyone start to practice defending in sweat under the leadership of the defensive assistant coach, Chang Wei nodded, but he still leaned over to Brown and told the old coach what Lewis had just worried about. Brown shrugged and said, "Looks like we should have hid him with the system, and while it's not fair to the other guys who are trying to defend, I don't want to see our defense go awry, and of course, if he's willing to do everything he can, I don't think we need to help him extra." ”
