Chapter 135: Preseason Begins

"Brad, pay attention to Tracy's cut, whenever he has a chance to catch the ball, give him the ball directly......"

After joining the main players, Qiao Hai let Mike Bibi and Maddy cut in the air, let Sammark go to the bottom corner, and made changes to increase the frequency of Maddie's air cut to catch the ball in the singles, and designed several singles tactics for Maddie, what high cover, high double cover, Qiao Hai used.

Princeton's tactics have two types of play: high and low, and for the time being, Qiao Hai only designed a variety of play styles in the high post for the team.

The basic style of play was practiced for two weeks, and the main substitutes were very proficient, and Qiao Hai moved on to the next step.

"The point guard takes the ball at the top of the arc, hands the ball to the center, takes the defender into the corner of the corner, the shooting guard cuts in from the other side, and the center completes the hand-to-hand coordination, lateral movement, and gets rid of the defender, at this time, the scoring guard has two options - one, play alone, two, attract the defense and pass the ball to the player in the open space."

In the new style of play, this set is specifically for Maddie, and through hand-to-hand cooperation, Maddie can get the opportunity to mismatch singles.

There's also a set of tactics that apply to Rahim, where a point guard or shooting guard holds the ball on the outside and feints.

The power forward cuts the basket with his back, the point guard or scoring guard gives the ball, the power forward singles, the point guard or scoring guard slips the baseline empty-handed, and the power forward has two options, one single, and the other passes to the point guard or scoring guard who slips the ball.

There are also a variety of small routines, such as the point guard through the center to cover the air, use the speed to shake off the defender, if the opponent's center fails to keep up, your own center should hang the pass inside, so that their team's smaller players get an easy chance to score.

There is also the most important way to open the back door play, if the two small players of the empty cut fail to find the opportunity, and the center passes the ball out, then the two small players of the air cut can quickly cut out, and the other two players standing on both sides "go through the back door", at this time, the opponent's defense has been almost pulled to the outside by the center of the high post and the two small players of the air cut, and the inside line can be described as empty.

In this way, the players who had been standing on either side suddenly walked through the back door and slipped into the inside line, and as soon as the ball arrived, the opportunity came.

However, if this tactic is played, Qiao Hai will have to put on a small lineup or a dual-control combination, so that the players who cut the air will be enough to use and the threat will be the greatest.

After practicing a few sets of playing styles, the time is in the blink of an eye to the beginning of October, and the preseason is just around the corner.

Qiao Hai's previous task of selecting three rookies has been completed, and the task reward has been claimed, but the 0-5 penalty star experience card he got has not been used yet, Qiao Hai thought about it and used it directly, he wanted to know what star the system would draw out.

"Ding, 0-5 penalty star experience card is used successfully, congratulations to the host, get the peak Brad Miller experience card."

As soon as the prompt sound came to mind, Qiao Hai looked at the system interface and looked stunned.

Brad Miller Experience Card, isn't that a coincidence! Qiao Hai happens to have Brad Miller!

However, Qiao Hai's Brad Miller is the Brad Miller in the early stage of growth, with a current total rating of 7, and there is still some distance from the potential value of the cash point, of course, Qiao Hai is also very clear that suddenly getting this Brad Miller experience card, maybe he can look forward to Brad Miller's growth at the tactical level at Princeton.

The start of the new season is just around the corner, and new side quests have been released.

"Ding, System Mission Release: Side Quest: Win your preseason debut, quest reward, 20 victory points."

Routine side quests, Qiao Hai didn't care about it, it was turned off directly, as for the victory of the preseason debut, he didn't care either, just a preseason game, it doesn't matter if you win or not, the most important thing is that the Grizzlies want to play their own tactical style in the upcoming preseason.

Eight preseason games, even if the Grizzlies don't win one, Qiao Hai doesn't care, the real battlefield is in the regular season, and the preseason is obviously just a practice.

……

On October 5th, the preseason officially began.

Eight preseason games, the Grizzlies have four opponents, SuperSonics, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves and Jazz, home and away, respectively, to be honest, this schedule is not friendly, all four teams are playoff-level powerhouses, but this is exactly what Qiao Hai wants, he is looking for this kind of playoff-level team to practice, so that the value of the preseason can be maximized.

The first game against the SuperSonics, the Grizzlies played on the road.

So, on the day of 0/5, the Grizzlies flew to Seattle.

The distance from Vancouver to Seattle is not far, in the afternoon the Grizzlies arrived in Seattle, rested for an afternoon, and in the evening, the Grizzlies and the SuperSonics officially went to war!

The preseason is not very hot, even Seattle, a hot city, there are not many fans who pay attention to this preseason game, and there are a large number of empty seats in the key arena, before the game starts, Qiao Hai stands on the sidelines, arranging the start of this game.

"Point guard Mike Bibby, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, small forward Sammark, power forward Sharif Abdulahim, center Brad Miller."

After thinking about it, Qiao Hai decided to let Sammak start first, this starting position needs to be competed, even if Sean Marion is the No. 5 pick, he needs to compete to get this starting position.

Of course, the center position does not count, if it is the center position, then the center should be the starter Elden Campbell, but Qiao Hai has automatically excluded Elden Campbell from the center starting candidate, and there are only two contenders for the center position, a Brad Miller, and a Rasiunestrovich.

After arranging the starters and laying out the tactics, the preseason will begin.

This season, the superSonics' lineup has also changed, last season's main forward Detreff Schramf went to the Trail Blazers, the main scoring guard Jose Hawkins went to the Bulls, the main center Alden Polinice went to the Jazz, and the sixth man Dalla Ellis went to the Bucks, that is, in addition to the main control Gary Payton, the main power forward Wenbeck, most of the main lineup of the SuperSonics has been replaced.

The main small forward was replaced by Brent Barry, the main scoring guard was replaced by Vernon Maxwell, the main center was replaced by Hollis Grant, and they also introduced an old player of Qiao Hai, the Lakers' Ruben Patterson, Qiao Hai did not expect that after he left the Lakers, Ruben Patterson, who was not very good-tempered, was finally given up by the Lakers.

And in this game, the superSonics starters are, point guard Gary Payton, scoring guard Brent Barry, to Qiao Hai's surprise, Ruben Patterson became the starter of the small forward position, plus the big forward Wenbeck and the center Hollis Grant, this season's supersonic starters have changed greatly, but the strength has not declined compared with last season.

Qiao Hai also glanced at the supersonic substitute, and he saw Rashad Lewis, the future Mr. billion.

On the field, both sides started the game, and the first game of the preseason began......
