Chapter 97: Kombat Whirlwind
Although Chang Wei believes that the team's current lineup can only play small-ball tactics, he still plans to communicate with McKay first, in case the head coach has other ideas, wouldn't the training plan he made on his own initiative be in vain?
Fortunately, McKay is still a bit level, and when Chang Wei asked about his tactical system for the new season, he spread his hands very shamefully: "Chang, you have also read the player list, do you think I have any other options besides playing small ball tactics?" ”
Chang Wei also nodded helplessly: "Also, the team's lineup does have a big flaw, there is not even a reliable pure inside line, and if you don't play the small-ball tactics of quick conversion attack, you can only wait to be beaten by others in the positional battle." ”
McKay asked with interest, "And how are you going to train them?" To tell you the truth, it's quite difficult to make a difference with this lineup, and I remember when you said yesterday that you were going to help the team reach the tournament stage! ”
"I'm going to start with the basics. The pursuit of small-ball tactics is a fast word, and if you want to fight with the opponent for the whole game, physical fitness is also very important, you can't toss yourself into a dead dog, right? In addition to these two points, shooting and rebounding, our interior height is average, but that doesn't mean we have to give up rebounding, after all, no team can pat their chest and say that they shoot a high percentage every game, and rebounding is crucial at this time. ”
McKay patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You are worthy of coming out of the championship team, I didn't expect you to have such a thorough view of small ball tactics." In that case, I won't hold you back, so be bold and train them! But I have a request, I can't get an injury, the roster is already stretched, and if I get an injury again, ......"
Chang Wei didn't expect McKay to be so easy to speak, he quickly agreed: "No problem, although I have only been in the industry for two seasons, but I am still very experienced in this area, have you heard of Villanova's large-scale injuries in the past two seasons?" Belch...... Of course, last Christmas's food poisoning was not ......."
The two quickly reached an agreement, but Chang Wei still hoped that McKay would confirm the starting lineup first. While all players have to work speed and fitness, there is still a lot of focus, and the starters obviously work a little harder than the substitutes, or they have to go through more "torture".
McKay also agreed with Chang Wei's opinion, and after biting the pen and writing and drawing on the paper for a long time, he carefully copied the starting lineup list and handed it to Chang Wei. In McKay's starting line-up, captain Palesio and Andre McCans were paired at the back, with John Svensay on the flanks and Cedric Goodwin and John Ford on the inside.
Of course, there are other players with good ability in the team, such as two swingmen Garrett Patik and Shaun Harris, but it can't be helped, McKay still needs to start from the height level, and it is impossible for all starters to be shorter than the opponent's players in the same position, right? Despite this, Chang Wei also believes that this set of starters may be the shortest average starters in the NCAA in the new season.
point guard McCans, 1.85m; Quarterback Palesio, 1.90m; small forward Svensay, 1.90m; power forward Goodwin, 2.03m; Center Ford, 2.06m. Such a lineup with an average height of only 1.95 meters should be unique in the NCAA. Chang Wei shook his head helplessly, this may be the best starting lineup that the team can come up with.
Suddenly, Chang Wei thought of the system's lineup simulation function, and just put this lineup in to take a look. The result was not bad, with 77 in offense and 65 in defense, which is an acceptable rating when you compare the ability values of all the players. However, Chang Wei suddenly wanted to put other players in to try it out to see if he could find a more suitable starting lineup.
There is little to think about at the back, with Palesio having the best stats and McCans being a good one, and replacing them with any one defender would result in a lower overall rating. As for the center position, whether it is Martin or Fisher, although the defensive rating has improved a lot after being put up, the offensive rating has dropped even more. With the current strength of the Rams' staffing, fighting defense with opponents is tantamount to asking for hardship, so there is no problem with putting Ford, a third-year veteran, in the center position.
Goodwin's ability rating of 73 is second only to Palesio on the team, and with his height, he can only play the No. 4 position on the Rams, with the occasional downward swing. So the only thing debatable about the whole lineup is the wings.
It's not that the team doesn't have wings, and the swingman can be counted as a pile, and although Sven is the winger with the highest ability value in the team, it doesn't mean that he is suitable for partnering with several other people. After a thorough attempt, Chang Wei found a more suitable wing player than him, and that was Partick. First of all, Patik is 2.01 meters tall, which can fully support the No. 3 position, and secondly, Patik's defense looks good, and it is also a problem that the starters are full of attacking players.
In fact, the most important reason is that when Chang Wei put Partik in the small forward position, the offensive rating was only reduced to 76, which can be said to have no loss, but the defense came to 72, which is a great improvement. Although the difference is only 7 points, 70+ is a qualitative change compared to 60+, and it is clear that Patik is more suitable to play as a starting small forward.
However, Chang Wei would not be brain-dead enough to tell McKay about the system simulation lineup, otherwise he might be arrested for slicing research. Fortunately, this question is not difficult, and Chang Wei quickly found a suitable reason: "Coach, I think Sven's height may be blown up in the third position, and he may be more suitable to lead the second team to impact the opponent." ”
Mackay touched his chin and thought for a while, then said slowly, "What you said is an obvious problem, so how about replacing Patik with him?" This guy is tall enough for the number three position. ”
Originally, Chang Wei also prepared other rhetoric, lest McKay propose to let Harris and others take the starter. Unexpectedly, McKay was still very discerning, and he was the first to take out Patik...... Well, maybe Patik has a height advantage, but no matter how he says his goal, he has achieved his goal, so it's easier to train.
Saying goodbye to McKay, Chang Wei went into his office again, he needed the system to give some reasonable advice, how to raise the score of both offensive and defensive ends above 80 before the season officially started. Yes, that's his goal, but an 80 rating is just the basics, and the rest has to be practiced in the middle of the season.
