When Wang Zhuo and Lin Yao left Anaheim City and returned to New York, it was already the middle of September, and there was only about half a month left before the preseason of the new season. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The pre-season basically starts in early October, which is not only a warm-up game before the start of the long season, but also the deadline for the 30 teams to finalize the 15-man squad, in fact, the team management is more about grinding the team's lineup in the preseason, familiarizing themselves with the playing style of other teams, and improving communication and communication between coaches and players.

The Knicks have 19 players on the roster at this point, and with the exception of the unwavering starting line-up of Carmelo Anthony, Jose Calderón, Robin Lopez, Aaron Afflaro and Kristaps Porzingis, the team's bench has not been finalized.

As the team's tactical assistant coach, when Wang Zhuo saw this starting five, his first feeling was that the attacking talent of this starting lineup was quite outstanding, and in comparison, the defense couldn't bear to look at it directly.

There is no doubt that the most suitable tactic for such a lineup is to run and shoot, tactically abandon the defense and maximize the offensive talent, and the Knicks themselves still have the tradition and imprint of running and shooting that continued from D'Antoni's coaching.

Although Wang Zhuo feels that the team's starting lineup is suitable for the tactics of running and shooting, but running and shooting needs a talented point guard, Calderon has a good overall view, but he is older and his physical strength is a little unable to keep up, if he is put on the bench and Jerry Grant is promoted to the starting position, the effect will be better.

Jerry Grant is physically strong, quick, and despite being a rookie and a little less talented, he works hard, and if he is promoted to the starting point guard, he can take the run-and-gun game to a whole new level, and Calderon can not only provide the team with plenty of offensive firepower in a timely manner, but also dominate the team's bench and stabilize the morale of the main players when they are off the court.

Although Anthony made it clear that he was unwilling to fight, after all, he was old and still had injuries, but if this was Wang Zhuo's decision, then Anthony could only accept it with reluctance.

"You're the team's assistant tactical coach, you have the final say!"

When Wang Zhuo handed over his proposal to the Zen master, the Zen master smiled slightly and did not express any opinions, obviously asking Wang Zhuo to handle it himself, so as to cultivate his tactical execution.

Obviously, the Zen master also knows that this team is not suitable for the triangle offense at all, because the tactics of the triangle offense are too rigorous, and the tactical literacy of the players is also extremely demanding, not only a super scoring machine, but also a very dominant interior player, as well as a forward player with strong defensive ability, which is too far apart except for Anthony, a super scorer, who barely meets the conditions, and this is not to mention whether the players can fully understand the tactical mystery of the triangle offense.

PS: In fact, compared with the 11 championships of the Zen master, except for the Lakers' three-in-a-row championship period, the rest of the lineup can't get rid of such a shadow, the Lakers' three-in-a-row championship is more reflected in the offensive talent, at that time, the east was weak and the west was too strong, the Lakers could still meet tenacious opponents in the west, once they reached the finals, they were almost cleanly crushed, of course, we can't ignore Kobe's outside defensive ability and O'Neal's absolute dominance inside, but in comparison, The super-strong offensive talent conceals that the Lakers are not actually the best defense.

Porzingis is a rookie who has just entered the league, and it is inevitable that he will be a bit of a duck on the shelf, after all, the level of competition in the NBA is far from being comparable to that of the summer league, Robin Lopez has good defensive ability, but he is thin and slightly disadvantaged in the confrontation, and his style of play itself is stronger than defense.

Therefore, Wang Zhuo determined that this lineup is very suitable for running and bombing, not only with three-point attack power, but also with the blocking and dismantling cooperation of the inside and outside lines, and the two interior lines can ensure the backcourt rebounding at the same time.

Of course, this lineup is not without flaws, for example, Lopez's movement speed may affect the overall quality of running and shooting, but if he falls into position, Lopez's beautiful mid-range shot is still very threatening.

Besides, there will never be a flawless lineup, only the most suitable lineup for the tactical system, Wang Zhuo is also sure that this lineup has no strength to compete for the championship at all, but his goal is to give full play to the biggest advantage of this lineup and bring the Knicks into the playoffs after a long absence.

The Zen master has made it clear that he will not interfere in the team's tactics, but Wang Zhuo is only an assistant coach, and the team's head coach Fisher must agree to make the tactics finally implemented.

As expected, Fisher directly rejected Wang Zhuo's proposal to implement run-and-bomb tactics, the reason is very simple, that is, run-and-bomb tactics are just regular season tactics, and in the playoffs when the defensive intensity increases sharply, he will only be beaten passively, and even he eloquently listed how the Suns at their peak fell at the feet of the Spurs again and again.

Wang Zhuo has nothing to say, and what Fisher said is indeed true, but he completely ignores that it is a problem to break into the playoffs with the current strength of the Knicks.

After the tactical proposal was vetoed by Fisher, the matter was put on hold for the time being, after all, Fisher was the head coach of the team, and everything on the pitch was still up to him.

But to Fisher's embarrassment was that in the first preseason game on October 8, the Knicks played a smooth offense, defeating the Pascoloto team from the Brazilian club with a score of 100:81, and the Knicks were in full bloom throughout the game, shooting 40 percent of the team's ultra-high three-point shooting rate.

"The Knicks played at a very high level of offense, but we couldn't completely ignore the team's defense, knowing that we grabbed a full 10 more rebounds than our opponents, and it was all thanks to our tenacious defense!"

After the game, in the face of the media's microphone, Fisher still had a stiff mouth, refusing to admit that Wang Zhuo's tactical proposal was correct.

"We are a team with great attacking talent, we played aggressively in this game, the team is going to get better and better, and I am very hopeful for the season ahead!"

Anthony scored a game-high 17 points on 8-of-10 shooting, and in an interview, he said his truest thoughts very pertinently, not only coinciding with Wang Zhuo's tactics, but also directly slapping Fisher in the face.

The news media seized on this detail with a keen sense of smell, and quickly reported that Knicks star Carmelo Anthony and team head coach Derrick Fisher had different attitudes about the future direction of the team, and it was suspected that there was a discord within the Knicks because of last season's poor record.

There are even media outlets that boldly predict that Fisher will be out of class or that Knicks star Carmelo Anthony will be traded in the near future.

Of course, no one really cares about these rumours, because they have a brand new season ahead of them, and they have to give it their all to meet new challenges.
