Thibodeau's suggestion is not to deny the value of the swingmen of Iguodala and Josh Smith, as players like these two rookies who are well-balanced in attack and defense are rare creatures, but they lack the strength of their attacking arsenal and need tactics and good handlers to dominate.

And what Uncle Tom said about a defender like Kidd is not all about skill, but more about ball intelligence.

Kidd Sr. can dominate the offensive system, know the characteristics of all his teammates around him, and make it easier for them to score, so such point guards often have their own "amplification aura", just like Martin, who doesn't have much to show off except for physical fitness, and easily brushing data next to Kidd to win a big contract is a typical example.

The effect of the "amplification aura" is even more obvious is now Nash, who has left Phoenix Sun City. Quentin Richardson, Joe Johnson, Boris Dior...... The inflated value of these players is not unrelated to the increase in Nash's point guard MVP, and even Joe Johnson was later promised a 100 million yuan contract by the Hawks, and the degree of "rotten" was no less than that of Uncle Huo's big contract.

Such a point guard is the hot prey that the whole league will chase!

Now, the Hawks need such a point guard to stimulate the team's offensive system, and it is precisely this kind of point guard that stands on the roof of the league to find it is rare.

So, Thibodeau said "That's more difficult than climbing to the sky", and then put forward the second plan, find an outside star to support the firepower of the outside, and then let Smith and Iguodala Goan play the role, after all, outside stars are much easier to pick than top point guards, there are many people with high talent, and the high ball quotient is really high......

The most important thing is that the rationality of this suggestion lies in the fact that the Hawks still have a lot of salary space, as long as the rookies can play their potential this season, the bench lineup can provide a certain amount of combat power, coupled with the lure of high salaries, the possibility of absorbing an outside star is very high, and then the Hawks can become a playoff team.

It's just that according to the length of the rookie contract, it is likely to face the danger of breaking up after a year of hitting the championship, but the team's level has improved, and the owner is not short of money, so a prepared reorganization can still remain competitive.

Jiang Qi is noncommittal about this, some things can't be determined now, except for him, no one will know that there will be two good seedlings of point guards flowing into the draft circle next summer, but the world is unpredictable, and it is not a bad thing to plan for a rainy day, the second plan can be planned as a spare tire, and in another time and space, Rose under Thibodeau is not a point guard like Kidd and Nash, and he still got the first place in the regular season, which also indirectly proves the feasibility of the second plan...... Of course, there is much more to consider.

Therefore, while reassuring their own coach, the rookie directors made it clear that the management will arrange for the uniform team to pay attention to this matter, but the real timing of the choice will be after the summer draft, before that, Thibodeau can nominate the person he likes, and the management and the uniform team will evaluate the difficulty and operability of the transaction.

Uncle Tom was not a stubborn man, and when he saw that his goal had been achieved, he took his leave and left. However, in the second China match in the magic capital two days later, probably to let Jiang Qi see the team's problems clearly, Thibodeau specially adjusted the lineup.

Veteran Van Exeel started the game, Alston was pressed to the bench, and Dio, who was eye-catching in the last game, appeared in the number three position, and it was clear that Thibodeau was arranging this arrangement to increase the tandem points and outside attack firepower on the court, and for Al Jefferson, the power forward, he is still very happy at the moment.

Van Gundy, Uncle Tom's old partner, also adjusted the starting lineup, Nakba came on, and Jim Jackson, who had a pitiful shooting percentage from the outside in the last game, sat on the bench, and Mr. Jeff expressed his displeasure while thinking about the Rockets' weak bench lineup.

With Van Exel's main point of attack, the Hawks' offense suddenly changed, and Van Lunatics' impact and projection can find gaps in the Rockets' defensive system, especially Iguodala can use his super physical talent to use the gap after Van Exel's impact to make a second breakthrough and get a lot of points. As for Dio, this is a player whose ball intelligence is higher than ability, and has played an important role in maintaining the flow of the Eagles' offensive system.

There are also changes to the bench lineup, the addition of Josh Smith has raised the defense of the bench lineup to a higher level, because Smith himself is a good hand at helping to defend and supplement, especially the block, and Chris Anderson, a player who is also outstanding in bounce, has a wonderful chemical reaction, supplemented by Crawford's offensive firepower, you can drag down the opponent with speed, Thibodeau can even send an outside defensive slapper like Ariza at the right time to consume the physical strength of the opponent's main outside line, Create more rest for the starters with a bench lineup.

This is the effect of selecting a group of excellent role players, and despite the lack of superstars, the team can still gather a good fighting force in a short period of time, but the same is true for the shortcomings, and there are no superstars......

Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He!

The game between the two teams in the magic capital was entangled for three and a half quarters, and at the last moment, Yao Mai teamed up to reflect the value of the star, Van Gundy's defensive system showed his skills under the spur of his sideline roars, and after the defensive intensity increased, the Hawks' offensive firepower was insufficient, and Maddie and Yao Ming could still score points calmly inside and out, and the score was pulled away to ten points little by little, until the clock was frozen.

That's the real gap between the Hawks and the playoff teams right now, ten!

When people say that the Pistons are a civilian team, they have won the championship glory with iron-blooded defense, in fact, they also ignore that the Pistons also have super offensive firepower - Hamilton is the most capable pitcher after Miller, and Rasheed Wallace is not inferior to many top power forwards like Wolves Garnett at his peak...... It's just that under the constraints of the old Brown system, everyone on the Pistons has done their part, without too much drama, and will not disappear for no reason.

However, the reference value of the preseason is relatively limited, in these two games, Tracy has high scores, the Rockets' starters have enough time on the court, and Sura has become the team's third firepower point, contributing a lot of points, but many media comments have pointed out that the Rockets can't bear to look at the bench lineup, so the Hawks are positioned in the top ten in the East, after all, the team with more rookies will have more ups and downs in the season, and the Rockets' bench lineup is indeed not strong......

But for Jiang Qi, he is very satisfied with the style and strength of the Hawks in these two games, and he will hit the playoffs as the goal of the first season of reconstruction, not to achieve it at the end of the season, but to let the young players in the team see hope, will not wear out that sharpness, so that there can be more expectations in the coming year.
