NBA team training is generally private, after all, it involves various confidential issues such as team tactics, personnel status and arrangement, but there will be a short public practice period in the preseason training camp stipulated by the NBA to let the media see how the players are doing.

As for the specific training content of the training camp, the NBA naturally does not have a specific arrangement, and each team will formulate a training arrangement according to its own situation.

Dallas Mavericks training camp is divided into two sessions, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., usually after the morning warm-up training, there will be intra-team confrontation and tactical drills, and the afternoon is free training time for the players, and the team's team of trainers will develop specific training plans for the players.

It is up to the players to decide whether or not they want to train outside of these times.

The Dallas Mavericks underwent a massive overhaul in the offseason, bringing in two new cores and adding a major rotation player like Seth Curry, so tactical drills naturally became a top priority.

Every team in the NBA has a large number of tactics, but there are not many commonly used tactical routines, mainly a few sets of effective conventional tactics built around core players.

After all, now the NBA no longer advocates complex tactical routines, but popularizes simple and efficient blocking and pick-and-roll play. The time on the pitch is more for the players to play, and when necessary, the coaches will lay out the tactics concretely, and this kind of open attack is more popular with the players.

The Dallas Mavericks' tactical play is mainly pick-and-roll and off-ball cover, and many of the tactics are aimed at creating catch-and-shoot opportunities for Nowitzki. Of course, there is often more than one point of opportunity in a tactic, and this requires the point guard, or ball handler, to make a decision.

Usually, it's the big, thick big guy who covers the nimble and fast guy, and the big guy can be a very good wall to keep defenders out.

However, compared with other teams in the league, the Dallas Mavericks' style of play is more distinctive in that there are a lot of small for the big to cover the tactical arrangement, not limited to the big for the small to cover.

After the first day of tactical drills, Chen Zhi already had a preliminary understanding of the main playing style of Dallas, blocking and off-ball cover are indeed simple and effective tactics, and it is very easy to have offensive opportunities, but many opportunities are only for a short moment, and the requirements for the team's point guard are very high.

In general, on the offensive end, the Dallas Mavericks are a team that relies more on outside offensive firepower, because many tactics are outside cut-and-shoot tactics after covering without the ball, and the space on the court will be very large, which is probably related to the technical style of the core player Nowitzki.

After the tactical training, Chen Zhi was resting, and Justin Anderson came to Chen Zhi, "Hey, we have a shooting competition, do you want to participate." ”

"Oh? Are you sure you want me to participate in the contest as well? Chen Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, at least for now, it seems that there are still people in the Dallas Mavericks who are shooting above him.

Anderson naturally knew that Chen Zhi's projection was very accurate, "Just to make the shooting training a little fun, Matthews and Seth will participate, and you may not be able to win!" ”

"What, didn't Chen dare to participate in the competition? Aren't you afraid of losing to me! ”

As soon as Chen Zhi wanted to agree to Anderson to participate in the game, he saw Seth Curry coming over, smiled and said loudly, and the smile on his face was written with three words clumsy "Radical method!" ”

Although he knew this, Chen Zhi still agreed with a smile, this is a process of getting acquainted with his teammates, and he must not refuse.

As the most famous shooter family in the NBA league, the three-point ability of the three fathers and sons of the Curry family is indeed very enviable, Dale Curry's 16-year NBA career, shooting 40.2% of the three-point shooting rate, Stephen Curry is now better than the blue, shooting three-point shooting to a new height.

Seth Curry is by far the least famous and accomplished of the trio, but his three-point ability is not bad at all, and he may even be better than Stephen Curry in terms of consistency.

Last season, Seth Curry played 44 games with the Kings, averaging 2.5 three-point attempts per game and shooting 45 percent from three-point range, which is a horrific percentage.

Although there is a suspicion of hyping up his brother, Stephen Curry did say, "My dad knows that Seth's three-point shot is more accurate than mine!" "It's enough to see the quality of Seth Curry's three-point shooting.

Chen Zhi watched Seth Curry shoot three-pointers and found that his shooting was indeed very stable, but unlike Stephen Curry's ultra-high-speed shots, his shots were much slower and his shooting preparation time was longer.

In other words, he needs better open opportunities to hit three-pointers with more certainty, and he is not destined to play them to the level of threat that Stephen Curry has.

After watching Seth Curry's shot, Matthews, who was standing next to Chen, said, "It's so important for us to stay healthy, and I used to be as accurate as him, but unfortunately it's hard to reach the previous shooting percentage after the injury." ”

Chen Zhi nodded silently when he heard this.

After Curry Jr. finished shooting, Justin Anderson began to shoot, and his shooting percentage was significantly lower than the other three, but he was very confident in shooting.

After Seth Curry finished shooting, he walked up to Chen Zhi and Matthews, and said with a smile, "Chen Zhi, do you know why you were called to train together?" ”

Chen Zhi shook his head inexplicably.

Matthews laughed: "As the team's main point guard, you have to know who on the team is more accurate in three-point shooting, and frankly speaking, the most accurate three-point shot in the Mavericks at the moment is the three of us plus Dirk, so what he means is that when there is a three-point opportunity at the same time, you must feed him the ball first!" ”

"Then why bring Justin Anderson to the game?" Chen Zhi looked at Anderson, who was playing again, and asked.

"He's the opposite! Sometimes, even if he has a better three-point chance than us, the ball still has to be passed to us, and we have a higher three-point grasp than he has in the open position, and you say yes, Anderson! Seth Curry shouted.

Chen Zhi joked when he heard this: "It turns out that you are here to plot the ball!" ”

With only a few days to play, the training camp passed quickly, and the Dallas Mavericks had completed the initial run-in, and Chen Zhi and the players were becoming more and more familiar with each other, and they had a better understanding of their technical characteristics and habits.

Chen Zhi is doing well with the Dallas Mavericks, but he noticed that Barnes, another core player, has been slow to find the feeling of a core player, probably because the Warriors are used to the role player style of play, and he is now a little hesitant on the offensive end, not decisive enough to shoot, and his shooting percentage is relatively low.

Pre-season is just around the corner, and I don't know if this struggling Black Hawks will be able to adapt ahead of schedule.
