Is it stupidity or confidence? The madman coach does another 'strange' thing! 》

"This coach doesn't understand the ball? Beverley > Blake? 》

"Completely young, the future of the Magic team in the new season is unpredictable. 》

The day after signing Beverley, the news of Blake's cut, and then the Trail Blazers lightning claimed, for a while, the print media and the Internet were overwhelmingly reported, people who don't know thought it was a heavyweight deal, but it turned out to be just a crazy coach doing strange things again.

The outside world couldn't understand Chen An's operation, so he criticized him and wrote it, and Chen An didn't bother to pay attention to it, but Orlando Magic's team reporter O'Clair made a small topic on Beverley, comprehensively analyzed Chen An's intention to sign Beverley, and finally bluntly said that Chen An has great ambitions, and after determining his own attack system, he wants to build a new defensive system and want to make a difference in the new season.

Of course, such a report caused more laughter from the outside world, and only some local fans in Orlando who identified with Chen An had expectations for the Magic team.

In the midst of all the noise, a six-day gap flew by as the Magic's fifth preseason game arrived, this time against the Detroit Pistons.

The current Pistons are no longer the original iron-blooded team that killed the Lakers F4 Heavenly Team, Roaring Tianzun and Big Ben have long left the team, only a little prince Prince Prince is left in the iron-blooded five-man group that year, the new generation is still growing, it can be said that it is still in the rebuilding period, but the reconstruction is not ideal, Monroe on the inside and Knight on the outside are not their long-term players, and the future is accompanied by turmoil, so the strength of this Pistons team is really not much, and it only achieved a 29-53 record in the 12-13 season in the original history.

In fact, before the start of this preseason, the outside world agreed that the Pistons would give the Magic team a certain test, after all, through the game with the Hawks and Bobcats, both Eastern teams, as direct competitors, will naturally notice the Magic team, study the Magic's playing style and tactics, make targeted adjustments, and so on.

Most of the local media and fans in Orlando also thought that the team would have some trouble in this game, but the process of the game was a big surprise, just two quarters of the game, the Pistons were beaten without a force, and at halftime, the score of the two teams was 63:45, and the difference was as high as 18 points.

This is not surprising, Chen An knows too well the attributes of those core players of the Pistons, such as Monroe, a typical offense and weak defense, and the defense is so bad that it is like air. On the Magic side, Harden frequently used high-post blocking and pick-and-rolls to turn the Pistons' interior line upside down.

In the second half, the Pistons' offensive and defensive ends still did not improve, the third quarter was not finished, and the difference was pulled to 25 points, Pistons head coach Frank chose to give up the game and sent a garbage time lineup, Chen An also timely Mingjin retreated, but Chen An did not give up the opportunity to practice, and sent Roy, Beverley, Crowder, Green and Vucevic The defense of this lineup is really tough, except for Cairoy, the other four are sparing no effort on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, Chen An is unusual, He asked Roy to play the way he was used to playing, not more than sticking to three-pointers, and in addition to Cairoi, Vucevic became another point of attack, frequently asking for the ball in the low post for singles.

No one knows what Chen An thinks, but this lineup is completely contrary to running and bombing, Kuqi was a little dissatisfied, but Chen An didn't explain, just staring at the changes in the game on the field and thinking about something.

The game finally ended, at 112:89, the Magic team still showed strong firepower and easily won the game, such a result made the outside world collectively lose their voice for a while, and even fans couldn't help but hallucinate: Is the rebuilt magic stronger than before the reconstruction? Others are rebuilding rottenly, but is it possible that magic is enhancing reconstruction?

The NBA values facts, even if it is only a preseason, but the performance of the Magic team in several consecutive games has subverted other people's cognition, so at the press conference after the game, the reporters had a surprisingly good attitude, asking about the situation of the Magic team, trying to find out the reason for the change of the Magic team, but Chen An was very modest, and said vigorously: The team has not yet encountered a real test, and the current performance is not enough to rely on.

Chen An does think so, to be honest, he is dissatisfied with the preseason arrangement of the Magic team, for no other reason, the opponents are too weak, aside from the China line, the Bobcats and the Pistons are both fish belly, only the eagles are like a point, but the eagles are obviously not in the state in the previous game, and they can't play the role of a whetstone.

As for the last preseason game, Chen An didn't have much to look forward to, because the opponent was also a super bad team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although they already have Irving, the cornerstone of the team, and the eight sage kings of the future team, the Cavaliers are still very bad, even worse than the Pistons, and they are firmly in the position of the league's vice president (penultimate record) in the 12-13 season in history.

With such an opponent, Chen An didn't think that he would encounter any obstacles, but he despised it strategically and still attached great importance to tactics, and the Cavaliers' Irving was one of the best breakthroughs in the league, and Chen An was also ready to train in a targeted manner, so he focused on Beverley in this game, gave Beverley a lot of playing time, and let him stick to Owen like a dog skin plaster.

There were no waves in the process of the game, the Magic pressed the Cavaliers throughout the whole process, and the score difference always hovered between 15~20, but the results of the inspection of Beverley disappointed Chen An, Beverley did not seem to fully adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game, plus he wanted to show himself too much, the defense was a little frizzy, and the action was relatively large once he lost his position, so that it was a relaxed crushing preseason game and made some gunpowder, and Beverley finally left the game with a full offense, and only played less than 15 minutes.

After the game, he talked to Beverley, let him relax his mind, study hard, and talk to Beverley about Beverley's player positioning and the role of the team, Chen An also talked to Beverley in detail.

Chen An's requirements for Beverley are very clear, the defensive end is defense, a ferocious biting defense, giving the ball holder a lot of physical contact, sticking to the opponent like a dog skin plaster; On the offensive end, Chen An clearly asked Beverley not to handle the ball, implement the team's tactics to run a lot without the ball, make a decisive shot when he gets an open opportunity, and return the ball to the tactical initiator or the response point as soon as he has no opportunity.

Based on this, Beverley will focus on strengthening the ability to shoot three-pointers and run without the ball.

It is not for nothing that Chen An opened a small stove for Beverley alone, he hopes that Beverley will grow as soon as possible, so that Beverley, Green, Crowder, and Old AK will build a small-ball iron-blooded defensive lineup, although the offense of this lineup is not worth looking forward to at all, but if Harden comes to master, there may be some surprises, which is a secret weapon.

With anticipation, the regular season opened a few days later, and Chen An officially embarked on his journey.
