Chapter 391: The Bull in the Post-Jordan Era
In the opening game of the new season Knicks, champion coach Li Wei came off the bench, but scored the team's highest score, which quickly became a hot news in major newspapers in New York, and the New York Daily News used "Domination at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends" as the headline!
Those who watched the game knew that Li Wei did not dominate the offensive and defensive ends at all, and he was blown up on the defensive end. But the New York Daily News writer didn't watch the Knicks' game, only glanced at the data of the two teams, and then started writing!
Li Wei not only scored a lot, but also had 5 steals and 1 block. In just 19 minutes of play, there were 5 steals, which is amazing, it's not dominating the offensive and defensive ends, what is?
How did he know that Li Wei was on the court, only these 5 rounds were successful in defense, and the rest of the time he failed to make a steal, lost his defensive position, and then watched the opponent score?
The data always confuses the people, and this expert is confused. As soon as his report came out, it immediately caused heated discussions among fans.
You said that Li Wei dominated the offensive end, then we admit it, who let him score more! But ruling both offensive and defensive ends, what are you kidding!
Many people in the world are dead ducks with hard mouths and do not admit their mistakes, and this copywriting expert is also this kind of temper!
"Lao Tzu is an expert, Lao Tzu said that he rules both offensive and defensive ends, you actually want to question it? Can a person with 5 steals in a single game not have a sense of presence on the defensive end? ”
So this expert wrote another article, quoting scriptures, or you can say that he was chiseled and chiseled, made a long article, analyzed it in detail, and came to the conclusion: Li Wei is full of positive effects on the defensive end!
This kind of obvious bias can be written by an expert, anyway, using the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses, only analyzing the favorable side of the results you want, ignoring all the unfavorable data, or just talking the opposite.
In the eyes of experts, white horses are not horses, referring to deer as horses, this is not a problem, as long as readers like it!
So do readers like it?
I really like it, now that the Knicks have won the championship, Li Wei also has a lot of fans. Most of these fans are the least determined kind of winning honey, falling with the wind, this year's Knicks won the championship, they are fans of Li Wei, and I don't know who the fans will go next year.
There is also a characteristic of the wind grass, that is, its own level is worrying, and it likes to follow the clouds. They like Li Wei now, so they hate others saying that Li Wei's defense is not good, and in their eyes, idols should be perfect.
So when they saw this kind of article, this group of people was immediately excited: "Who said that our Coach Li's defense is not good?" Hurry up and take a look, aren't the experts as good as you know? ”
"Coach Lee dominates both offensive and defensive ends!"
"Coach Li is the highest!"
Li Wei's fans immediately disgusted a group of fans of other teams, especially those who hate the Knicks.
You guys want to have a face, okay? As far as Li Wei's defense is embarrassed to blow? Can he do anything other than a gambling steal?
So overnight, there were countless David Blacks in the world, and they specifically found fault with Li Wei and used various methods to prove that Li Wei was not good!
Xie Siqi made that small website now called the House of the Basketball Emperor, and added a new forum section. When she woke up one night, she found that the forum was swiped, and there were articles scolding Li Wei everywhere!
"How can you dare to scold my dad here!"
The girl immediately began to squirt back, and the flames of war were burning!
"Alright, don't quarrel with these people, it's pointless." Li Weidao.
Xie Siqi pouted.
Although she herself knows that these sunspots can't be reasonable, she can't help but talk back when she sees others scolding.
Li Fuzhen suggested in a low voice: "If you want to quarrel, you can't go into battle in person, at least put on a vest." ”
Xie Siqi said in surprise: "Sister Fuzhen, you have experience, I'll change the vest!" ”
Li Wei said: "Fuzhen, you don't teach her to be good!" ”
Li Fuzhen blinked, and said a little embarrassedly: "Wow! ”
After Li Wei finished breakfast, he went straight to the airport with his secretary. The Knicks' first two games of the season were back-to-back, playing the Cavaliers on the 2nd and traveling to Chicago on the 3rd to face the Bulls on the road.
A year ago, the Bulls were champions, but now they are the top contenders for the top pick. To be exact, they've already secured a title, and Elton Brand is already in the lineup.
Bulls head coach Tim Floyd is an NCAA coach who has been bringing new players since coming to the NBA, and Brand, Artest and others have been cultivated by him. It's a pity that after he trained others to become talents, he was not far from being fired.
This summer, the Bulls poached the Spurs' backup center Ver Perdo with a high salary. Gongshi can't talk about a high salary, they just gave Perdo a contract of 5.3 million a year, asking him to help bring new people, and at the same time fill in the poor ghost line.
The NBA now has a salary cap and a poor ghost line underneath. Like Clippers owner Raheem Sterling, who keeps picking on the door and wants to build an amateur team with a full base salary to play, of course, it will not work.
At present, the poor ghost line is 75% of the salary cap, and the total salary of the team does not reach this amount, and this amount of salary must be paid. The Bulls signed Perdo to fill in the poor ghost line, and by the way, let the veteran bring the newcomer. His contract expires next season, and the Bulls will have a huge salary space to grab big names in the free market.
Will Perdo didn't play much time for the Spurs, and that's because the team has twin towers, and his own quality is actually not bad. However, Bulls coach Tim Floyd did not schedule him to start, and instead sent Dick Simpkins.
Dick Simpkins is 2.06 meters tall and is a power forward, playing in garbage time for the first few years of his career, with a meager salary and three championship rings.
Floyd let 2.06-meter-tall Simpkins play center and 2.03-meter-tall Elton Brand play power forward, resulting in the Bulls being very short inside. However, the NCAA coach is not afraid of short players, and what he thinks about is how to use the flexibility of short players to achieve joint defense to a certain extent!
This season, the NBA has introduced new rules, and the strong side allows joint defense, which is really a joy for coaches from the NCAA!
Don't think that coaches in the United States don't understand joint defense, it's just that the NBA prohibits joint defense, and the rules implemented in high schools and universities are similar to FIBA, which allows joint defense.
Moreover, the United States is the birthplace of basketball, and when the coaches of American high schools and universities are studying various joint defense tactics, the basketball leagues in Europe are not yet formal, and the coaches are also playing with mud!
Floyd is a famous coach in the NCAA, this kind of college-born coach, basically familiar with concepts such as joint defense, running and shooting, and small ball.
Sadly, the rules of the NBA are different from those of the NCAA, and the level of coaching in the NBA is different from that of the NCAA. Many super coaches who are in the NCAA God and Buddha are in the NBA, and when they come to the NBA, they will become experienced babies who are beaten by heroes from all walks of life.
This kind of thing actually exists in all walks of life. For example, you study best in your class, but in the whole city, there may be thirty or forty people who are better than you. If you are the first in the whole city, you may be placed in the province, and there will be thirty or forty people who are better than you. You are the top student in the college entrance examination in the whole province, but in the whole country, you may not be ranked in the thirty or forty.
In the field of basketball, most of the top 30 or 40 basketball coaches in the world are in the NBA, and they have played outstanding results in other leagues.
Floyd came to the NBA at the beginning of last year, all kinds of discomfort, and was beaten by various gods for a year, and this year he started the idea of joint defense.
He thinks that the Bulls' record is not good, first, the team's configuration is not good, and second, the joint defense is not allowed here, and he can't command the game according to his own ideas!
Now that the rules finally allow joint defense to a certain extent, then we must give it a try!
