Chapter 294: An Alliance of Communities of Interest
Now the Suns' winning time is in the third quarter and the fourth quarter, and no matter what, with the Suns' defense, it really takes a long time to accumulate.
Another point is that the regular season has a regular season style of play, and no player is a robot-like existence, since he is a human being, he also has a high and low point in the state.
Every team has an expectation of their own team this season, too specific must be different, but it can be roughly divided into several types, the first is undoubtedly to go to the championship, the second is to run for the playoff seats, and the third is definitely not to sign for the champion, but to cultivate the new core of their own home, of course, this is divided into two situations.
If the core of his family will get many wins under such a lineup, it is possible to enter the playoffs, and the team will be strengthened, and if it cannot enter the playoffs, then it will naturally continue to cultivate and get another round of high draft picks.
The fourth is to gamble, which is an extreme situation, and the team that has been in the playoffs for many years will choose to trade away and start over, which can happen in the early and middle of the season, and then there is an extreme situation that goes straight to the top pick.
Teams like the Suns and Knicks will inevitably go for the championship, but the players of the two teams will basically not play as hard as they can at the beginning according to the championship model without any special circumstances.
The regular season is an extremely long battle, which usually starts in late October and ends in mid-April of the following year, with 82 high-intensity battles of at least 48 minutes and two hours long, with no team or single person really taking every minute of every game seriously.
Going for the championship, unless it is based on defense like the Pistons, no team will play all the games in the defensive form like the playoffs at the beginning, even the Pistons will choose to defend seriously in some games, and only slightly serious in some games.
Generally, teams like the Knicks and Suns who have flashy offenses play games with ordinary teams, and they don't really want to end the battle at half-time, at least when their offense is smooth, they definitely don't want to rely on defense to gain some points lead. Generally, the Knicks and Suns choose to determine absolute superiority at the beginning of the third quarter and the second half of the fourth quarter. Of course, this is not absolute, and most of it is just when playing against some teams that are not playoffs.
There are no absolutes, and the above is also the general situation, if your opponent is too poor, has too many turnovers or has a low shooting percentage, you can't blame a team like the Knicks for killing too much.
There is also a situation where a certain player does not necessarily appear to be in a supernatural state, such as how many points are scored in a single quarter, and a certain player has a shooting rate of more than 65% in a certain game.
As a player, a coach will never let his star have a little 'grudge' against him, and if a player will exceed a certain league record in a certain game, no team's head coach will let his player go off the court because of his opinion.
Of course, this is a contrast between the first case and the fourth situation, and it is also a representative of the lineup of the league with a stable core team, and a conventional contrast between the team that is in an unorganized, non-core tactic and single-dominated team.
In addition, no championship team will choose to give up any of their regular season games, the first is that the players are resting and the strength of a game is not good, the second is to encounter unforeseen circumstances, such as the super explosion of a player in the opponent, the third is the most direct fatigue, the fourth is that all players do not have any state of the game, and the fifth is also the most common, normal game and lose.
A game lost is lost, and there is no reason to justify it!
The NBA is a concentrated expression of the collective interests of all teams, and if you have a championship squad now, there will inevitably be times when you are in a deep position, and no one dares to guarantee that your team will always remain in a strong state.
Even some teams with some 'historical roots' will not really get a lead of more than 40 points in the regular season, and do the action of beating people's faces, such as the matchup between the most famous Green Army and the Purple and Gold Army in the league, when you have an OK combination, you can beat the team with only Pierce, there is nothing worth writing about, because the strength of the two teams is not at the same level.
Generally, there are more than 40 points of victory, it must be when the strength of the two teams is too clear, for example, the two teams in the last season, after the last game, there is a holiday, or the weak team in the game, there is no idea of the game at all, the hit rate, mistakes rise to a certain point, otherwise no champion team will choose to play against any opponent with such a score.
It is absolutely impossible for the development of the league to be sustainable and effective with just a few teams, or even a dozen teams.
Weak teams also have to survive, and they also have their own philosophy and significance of survival, and there is no time in the history of the league when they have not won a single game in the regular season, and there are only a dozen wins in a season, which is an extremely rare situation, that is, a team is signed for the champion at the beginning of the season, and I have not heard of the situation of deliberately losing in the game that should be won.
It's not just about playing ball, it's about gambling or something like that......
In addition, the champion team generally adjusts its state to play in the regular season, although it will pursue victory, but it will not really let the main team have no time to rest to play seriously when the ranking is almost certain, unless the team wants to set a record or surpass a certain record.
Of course, the team that hits the championship will receive so much attention, it will definitely not be a simple matter, a team is said to have the possibility of hitting the championship, then he must play many more games in a season and must be treated strictly.
For example, it may be the opponent of the championship, the opponent that may meet in the playoffs, and the champion When a team becomes a 'public enemy of the league' or wants to create a winning streak, it will naturally enter every game with fans to pay attention to, and you have to face every game with every team that touches the 'powerful sniper'.
This is a different way of saying how the league is concerned about how the championship team will play in a regular season season, how the other second-tier playoff team types will play with the championship team, and how to play with the team that seems inferior to them.
In short, this league is not only the team, but the players are essentially graded, and if you don't have a certain level, you can only go to the next level, or you are willing to sacrifice and hug someone's thigh.
There are very few great players in the league, but these players are the ones who really support the direction of a league like the NBA in the regular season and playoffs, and they are the brightest presence in the league.
In addition to these people and teams, other teams naturally have their own development goals, have their way of survival, but profits are naturally not comparable to some teams, how to survive and get profits and the like is another long story, how to run a team is not simpler than cultivating stars and discovering stars.
However, the NCAA-led training system provides unlimited possibilities for the NBA, and except for a few years, most draft years have at least one or two seedlings who become stars.
Superstars are rare, but the acquisition of leading stars is not as difficult as imagined, this is also a kind of cycle, a virtuous circle, a cycle that the league headquarters wants to see, and the 'dark rules' that no one wants to break.
The Knicks-Suns' first-half game was like a battle to confirm that there was room for improvement, and both teams were battling it out with their best tactics, which are also known as 'no solutions'.
Since the core strength of the two teams is on the offensive side, the time period of the half game is a process of finding how to strengthen the core of the 'unsolvable', and the beginning of the third quarter is the time period when the two teams really want to win the game. (To be continued.) )
