After an upset win over the Heat, the Atlanta Hawks were stunned by a wave of four straight defeats.

And the key to this wave of four consecutive defeats is Iguodala...... It can really be said that success is also AI, and defeat is also AI.

Since shooting 5-of-7 from three-point range, Iguodala has been trying more to be a firepower for the Hawks from the outside, but when he focused on it, his three-point shooting percentage began to plummet.

What's worse is that the three-point shooting rate did not go up, but the foul count on Iguodala climbed up like a rocket. In the four games of the four consecutive defeats, almost every game Iguodala will fall into the quagmire of fouls, often two or three fouls on his body before the end of the first quarter, and he has to go off the court early.

This is like removing the thorny coat on the outside of the Eagles, and the inside of the defensive system has not been polished, so it can only be taken by others.

As a bystander, Jiang Qi can more or less guess the reason for Iguodala's transition from the apex of the victory over the Heat to the subsequent downward curve.

Several rookies of the Eagles are hardworking in this newly built team environment, with many first-year rookies, many fringe players, and many people who can play. Iguodala is one of those imitators, as a very valued outside defensive striker in the starting lineup, he is well aware of the pressure that the team is under on the outside, and if he can have the ability to shoot from the open spot, it will give the team more offensive space, and he himself will get more offensive opportunities with his good athleticism...... The space has opened up, and with Andre's strength and speed, it will be very lethal to break through into the inner line.

The effect of the training is the fiery long-range shooting feel when playing against the Heat, and the ultra-high shooting percentage of five out of seven.

But then things get bad, and with such a benchmark, the player's expectations for each next game will be higher, and before the hammer is tempered, any pitcher's hand will fluctuate, and Ray Allen's hand curve will fluctuate, let alone a rookie like Iguodala!

If you don't feel good, you will hit too high expectations, and the gap between reality and expectations will put players with a psychological burden, and if you have a burden to play, people will unconsciously become impatient, and the biggest enemy of an outside defender is impatience.

Look at a player like Battier, who is like a piece of kraft candy on the field, and there are very few fluctuations in the emotion reflected on the face.

As for old fritters like "Glove" Peyton, there is trash talk in his mouth, but that heart is as calm and calm as ice.

But a rookie like Iguodala can't do it, the psychological burden, impatient mood, and the bad feeling after a flash in the pan will make Andre unable to even adjust his physical condition to the best, of course, this is related to his first entry into the NBA, the first time he faced such a dense schedule, all kinds of factors are mixed together, his actions on the court are easy to get out of control, as for the referee, of course, he will not give a rookie preferential post, and you are not called Lebang......

To use a well-known word to describe Iguodala's state during this time, it is the "rookie wall"!

The "rookie wall" is there every year, but Iguodala met it a little early......

It was late at night, Jiang Qi was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock, rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch, and vaguely remembered that there was another Hawks game tonight, which was the fifth game after a wave of four consecutive defeats, but the away challenge to the Phoenix Suns, who had an amazing start to the season, was undoubtedly more than lucky.

In Lao Jiang's residence, there is a small hall specially used to watch the game, because the sound insulation is better, so it will not disturb the dreams of others.

The rookie director wiped his face twice, turned over and went downstairs, came to the small hall and turned on the TV, and the players on both sides had already assembled on the field.

Thibodeau made a surprise start, with Van Exel's number one in the first position, Iguodala in the second position, Jamal Crawford in the second position, Josh Smith in the third position, Frenchman Boris Dior in the fourth position, and Birdman Chris Anderson in the center forward.

"Is this going to use athletic talent against the speed of the sun?" , Jiang Qi guessed to himself, and suddenly pushed a cup of black tea in front of him.

Turning his head, Xue Bing sat down beside him, "The team hasn't been going well lately?" ”

Jiang Qi shook his head, "The first season of the rebuilding team was like this, the lineup was completely broken, and it took a long way to go to sharpen the team, and the shortcomings of our team are still obvious. ”

"I don't think Teresa is worried......"

"She's got lower expectations than I do, she's a guy who only knows stars, and I'm afraid she'll be happy if her results rot this year."

"Why?"

"Being able to draw the top pick and become the focus of the league, the remaining salary space can also be used up in one go, bringing in at least two superstars...... If she had vaguely revealed to me the abilities, it seemed very possible to turn a belly team around in a summer. Jiang Qi shrugged his shoulders helplessly when he said this.

"Is this contrary to your idea of team-building?"

"Some, I'm looking for the puzzle first, and then I'm at the core, and I can't tell if this path is suitable for the team, I don't want a team to become a superstar team, so the team's combat effectiveness will be controlled by one or two people...... It feels like a castle on a pile of sand. ”

Someone accompanied him to watch the game and chat, which made Jiang Qi's sleepiness dissipate a lot, seeing that Xue Bing was only wearing a pajamas, Lao Jiang also understood that people just got up by chance and found that they were passing by to watch the game, so he urged her to go back to the room.

"I've been working on a design these days, and it's hard to fall asleep when I wake up, so I was going to go downstairs for a cup of tea to refresh myself, so why don't I watch the game with you here, maybe there will be some new ideas...... Huh, this team looks special? Xue Bing said that there was a hint of inquiry at the end, and she naturally referred to the Suns team that can finish an attack in 7 or 8 seconds at most.

Since it is a special place to watch the game, it will naturally have a different design, Jiang Qi first turned out two loose coats in the locker next to the sofa and handed one to Xue Bing, and then found a biscuit on the other side.

"Before the Suns, no team in the league would take speed as the core of the team's tactics, in my understanding, they are using time to exchange space, not waiting for the opponent to settle down, their own super fast forward players will quickly insert from both sides, even if you follow them to quickly attack the inside line under the basket, the outside shooter is also quickly positioned, the ball will still have a lot of opportunities to throw out, and the key to this offensive tactic is to be a point guard who is fast enough and has a wide enough vision."

Xue Bing listened to Jiang Qi's analysis while comparing the screen in front of him, "But it seems that the Eagles are not falling behind......
