D'Antoni didn't say much in theory and words, but immediately asked everyone to start today's tactical drill, in fact, what D'Antoni said was not too boring, that is, let everyone start to talk about tactical training, and then he was still sitting on the bench alone and writing and drawing something on his tactical board.

Today's tactical training content is very simple but also very boring, Zhang Chen and they are now exhausted, they continue to intersperse the inside and outside sides of the three-point line, and then start some offensive or defensive cooperation. Although it is quite skillful to practice these tactical moves, there are still some mistakes that people often make, but D'Antoni doesn't seem to care too much about this, and what he has been doing is writing and drawing on the tactical board.

After today's tactical coordination exercise, D'Antoni appeared in front of everyone again, and everyone gathered in a circle to surround D'Antoni in the middle, and then D'Antoni said loudly: "Guys! We had a tough win last game...... This is what I said earlier, so we can't be idle for the rest of the day, we need to do more exercises, and then there is our practice - individual cooperation exercises! Everyone, please start your own training according to the combination I have arranged, and I will arrange the training content specifically! ”

Then D'Antoni reported their respective training combinations, and surprisingly, he put Zhang Chen and Randolph in a group, and then the training officially began. Zhang Chen came to D'Antoni's side a little strangely and said, "Boss, you obviously know that the fat man has an opinion about me...... Why do you still want me to be in a team with him for co-training? ”

D'Antoni said meaningfully: "That's why you need to train together, and I didn't miss a single shot in the last game...... Naturally, I also saw you and his air relay cooperation, and I realized that although the relationship between the two of you is not very good on the surface, your tacit understanding cannot be erased, and you seem to be able to know where he will appear in advance. ”

Zhang Chen thought about this, scratched his head and said: "Although it makes me very puzzling and I feel a headache, there is really no way to deny that there really seems to be some kind of inexplicable tacit understanding between us......"

D'Antoni smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, that's it, in fact, the relationship and play of the two of you has also greatly affected the performance of our whole team and our offensive ability!" ”

At this time, Randolph also shouted to D'Antoni's side: "Hey, boss, I think we can change the combination...... In fact, I think maybe we're not the best combination, and I think maybe Eddie and I will work well together so that you don't waste all your hard work, right? ”

D'Antoni didn't buy his account: "Well, if you can heal Eddie's damn wounded leg." ”

Randolph stuck out his tongue, everyone knew that Eddie Curry was not hurting his legs, but loneliness, he was now next to the basketball court looking at the album of beautiful women, with a leisurely face, and occasionally stealing the team's drinks, and the little one was having a good time. Randolph gritted his teeth at the situation, "Well, I'll have to train with this nasty guy...... It makes me sick, but don't worry, I'm not going to declare a personal vendetta. ”

D'Antoni smiled at him and nodded, and Randolph came to Zhang Chen's side and said with a blank face Let's start. Today's coordination exercise assigned to Zhang Chen and Randolph is an aerial relay exercise, which is still quite puzzling, of course, some other people are the ability to pass the ball and then catch the ball and throw it during the march, and so on.

The first cooperation between the two began, Zhang Chen stood near the free throw line, and then passed his first ball, which was also very strange, he seemed to be able to clearly know where Randolph would appear, and then his body had already calculated the general direction of the opponent, and then threw the basketball in his hand. He used his shooting skills to pass the ball, which also ensured the accuracy of the pass, and the basketball came all the way to Randolph, who easily caught the basketball, glided over a distance, and slammed the dunk directly.

"Beautiful!" D'Antoni happened to be watching the situation and began to applaud when he saw the scene. But Randolph fell off the basket and began to spit out in his mouth: "Hey, Mr. Backdoor, I think you can make this ball a little more comfortable, for example, you can make the angle a little higher, make it more graceful, more stable...... Instead of having a lot of effort to get a pass from the sky and then a dunk like now...... I think you can make some improvements. ”

Zhang Chen said angrily: "In fact, everyone knows that my ball is passed perfectly, not as bad as you say, if you feel that it is difficult to catch the ball, it is only because of your own jumping problem...... Oh, and don't tell me you won't even catch the ball! ”

Randolph rolled his eyes, not wanting to reason with Zhang Chen anymore, and said weakly: "Let's do it again." ”

Zhang Chen nodded, and then at this time he was ready to do a job on a whim, he threw the basketball into the sky, the basketball bounced off the rebound, and then came to Randolph's hands, Randolph received the pass, and then slammed the dunk again, and it was a rather beautiful aerial relay. “………… After more than 20 exercises between the two of them, Randolph finally lost his strength, and then said that he would pass the ball instead, so Randolph threw the basketball into the sky, and Zhang Chen also jumped up.

The basketball was not far from Zhang Chen's eye socket, in fact, the ball was still a little horizontal, his body came to mid-air, straightened his waist, and immediately let both hands grab the naughty orange-red sphere, and tightly grasped it into his hand, and then his body also glided to the end, and then directly slammed the dunk successfully!

"Bang!" The slam dunk was successful, and Zhang Chen and Randolph's aerial relay of this switch was still extremely accurate, Zhang Chen fell from the air and blew: "This ball is not bad." ”

Although facing his quasi-enemy, Randolph still said proudly: "That's natural, great player Zach? Randolph is capable of making very accurate passes, and he can handle all kinds of tricky aerial relays! That's what he's all about. ”

Zhang Chen felt that this noisy guy was too troublesome, so he ignored him directly, and then the air relay practice of the two people was carried out in an orderly manner after the change of positions, and it was not until the two of them passed each other more than 30 balls to each other that the two of them sat on the ground and were here for the time being.

In fact, D'Antoni has been paying attention to the situation here, and saw that the performance of the two people was really good, so he waved his hand to signal them to rest for a while, and then waited until everyone's training goals for today were almost completed, and then started the practice of the next combination, Zhang Chen's combination this time was David Lee.

The cooperation between David Lee and Zhang Chen is a layup practice after receiving the ball, and it seems that D'Antoni has drawn a lot of conclusions from the observation of the last game, knowing the tacit understanding of every two people, speaking of which, as a head coach, the heart should be very detailed. Zhang Chen and David Lee's cooperation layup practice also has some tacit understanding, but although the difficulty is reduced, their tacit understanding is still not as good as the cooperation between Zhang Chen and Randolph.

Zhang Chen started to control the ball and run from the right wing of the three-point line, until he came to the left wing of the three-point line, and then began to pass the ball, which went directly to the hands of David Lee on the inside, and David Lee directly made a step layup and successfully hit.

The relationship between Zhang Chen and David Lee was naturally much better than that with Randolph, he smiled and high-fived David Lee, and then the two of them began to practice for the second time.

When it was David Lee's turn to pass the ball to Zhang Chen, there were some situations, after all, David Lee's passing level was not very good, but this was not a passing practice for everyone, but a way to establish tacit understanding, so the purpose of the two people was not to be able to hit each ball perfectly, but to try to find that feeling of being smart.

This is their purpose, after two people have practiced separately many times, although it is impossible for the two of them to find that tacit understanding so quickly, they can also gain a certain potential for cooperation when splitting the practice.

Then the person who cooperated with Zhang Chen changed again and became the outside partner Chris Duhong.

D'Antoni is a kind of training defense that he has not tried before, so he is meticulous, but the tacit understanding between every two people naturally cannot be completed in one day, so they are now practicing several times a day, and when the time is up, they will start to practice the next training goal, but even so, it can be seen that everyone still benefits a lot.

After today's tacit cooperation training was completed, D'Antoni clapped his hands, motioned for everyone to come over, and then arranged a few tactical exercises on the tactical board, but this was all running without the ball, the purpose was just to let everyone find their position in the first time when attacking and defending.

The Knicks also invited an assistant coach Tony who is good at defensive training during this time, this guy used to be a defensive assistant coach for the Celtics, and he is also quite accomplished in defense, he and D'Antoni have studied several sets of defensive lineups that are more suitable for the current Knicks, and the defensive lineup they require is based on the research results of the two people.

As for the offense, the Knicks' offense still tries to be as quick as possible, although there is a fat man in Randolph on the inside, but this fat man is more flexible than many skinny people, so the Knicks' offensive style is still fast. It's just that it's obviously impossible to play like the Suns like that, and that's very unrealistic for the Knicks right now - first, they don't have a point guard who can control the whole court like Nash, and second, they are in a completely different situation than the Suns.

Therefore, in terms of offense, although the Knicks try to be as fast as possible, they do not require blind speed at the cost of defense, and they also require the Suns to be more stable when attacking, and also appropriately hand over the ball to the interior.

The current configuration of the Knicks inside and outside is not bad, this set of tactics still has a theoretical basis for implementation, in the framework of this theme tactics, D'Antoni also designed several blocking and dismantling tactics, prismatic fast break, etc., but it is obviously not easy to let Zhang Chen and Randolph block and dismantle in a short period of time, so D'Antoni is now more inclined to start the construction of the team's offensive and defensive general framework.

Now the Knicks need to grow up in the flames of war, find their own shortcomings after each battle, and then come up with ways to improve the surname, so the training of various skills should not be too rigid. D'Antoni and assistant coach Toni took out the board and drew several positions for attacking and defending tactics in front of everyone.

The first is the training of the attack, and D'Antoni is starting the general mobilization before training: "Guys! It's the beginning of our hard work, but it's also the beginning of our journey to glory! From today we will be able to really charge in the direction of the strong team, in the direction of the championship, and that is our goal, and of course one of the big prerequisites before that is that we have to train hard like that...... We can't afford to let up! Not at all, we have to make up for our shortcomings, we need to attack in an orderly manner. The next thing we do is tactical training, which is also a training method to develop tacit understanding, and the final goal we want to achieve is a kind of situation where you don't have to see your teammates, you just have to shoot the basketball court to know which direction your teammates will be! ”

D'Antoni raised his arms and shouted, continuing: "In this tactical training, we don't need basketball, we just want people, and your feet, you need to follow the guidance of the tactical board to reach the corresponding position, but when you can't get to the right position, you have to usher in a certain punishment, not in place once, 100 meters round trip run!" ”

D'Antoni set the penalty with a wave of his hand, and then everyone complained, except for Eddy Curry, who was shaving his legs and watching everyone pleasantly, everyone stood on the court, and then everyone followed the road map they had pointed out on the tactical board until they reached the three-point line, and then the team was a little chaotic, and then D'Antoni whistled and thought, everyone immediately ran to their positions.

"Drop!" The whistle sounded, everyone couldn't move, they all froze in place, and then D'Antoni followed the instructions on the tactical board and began to look for everyone's flaws, only to find that everyone was mistaken.

D'Antoni grimaced: "I finally know the ultimate reason why the last game was so difficult...... Give me all a round trip...... No one is lazy, come one by one! ”

After running back and forth, everyone didn't feel much, after all, there are still a lot of training like this in normal times, but one round trip training is more than enough, and then everyone returned to the three-point line again, and then D'Antoni blew the whistle again, and everyone came to their respective positions in a swarm.

"Drop!" When the whistle sounded, D'Antoni was sharp-eyed and began to look for everyone's position again, this time it was much better, but Zhang Chen and David Li still made a mistake, so the two of them had another round-trip training with sad faces. Then the third time-limited stance began again, and D'Antoni's training was quite brutal, hoping to use his coercive measures to establish the discipline that is etched in his bones.

This time, Zhang Chen cupped again, his position was indeed a little subtle, and then he ran back and forth for the third time, his teammates watched Zhang Chen accept the punishment with interest, Randolph smiled like an SB, Zhang Chen completed the round-trip running training, a little breathing, and then the time-limited standing training began again, fortunately this time Zhang Chen completed it perfectly, which avoided the fate of being punished again.

Then they did about 20 more of these positions, and by the last 10 they had basically no one making a mistake, so D'Antoni breathed a sigh of relief and gave everyone a three-minute break.

Zhang Chen sat on the stool and drank a sip of water, at this time Randolph, who couldn't stay idle, raised his fist and intimidated the rookie Gallinari, the rookie was frightened by Randolph and his face was blue and white for a while, just now he refused Randolph's unreasonable request to let Gallinari help him get clothes, and the two of them blushed and had thick necks.

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly, Randolph, a birdman, really can't be idle for a moment! He walked up and said, "Hey, dcup, I think I can get the clothes later...... You don't necessarily have to let him get it, and I think you might have to wait until after the game is over to think about it. ”

"Hey, Mr. Backdoor, are you going to take care of the two of us?" Randolph asked, narrowing his eyes.

Zhang Chen frowned: "I think we should need to live in peace...... So, how about we play a few? Three goals and two wins, whoever loses will run five 100-meter round-trips, and if I win you don't bother him, how about it? ”

Randolph looked at him: "Well, I like this bet!" But to be fair, if you lose the race, you'll have to run 100 meters round trip! That's a fair deal, hehe, and of course if you apologize to me at the end of the day, I'll probably skip your five round-trip runs! ”

Zhang Chen smiled coldly, the corners of his mouth outlined an arc, and said, "That's impossible...... Since I can't possibly lose, I'm naturally not afraid of any bets. ”

When everyone heard this, they all gathered around, and D'Antoni also felt that maybe the two of them had to make some peaceful evolution after the conflict, so he didn't pay too much attention to it at that time, and even became one of the two cheers.

In fact, even if Zhang Chen scored much higher than him in the last game, he didn't feel that Zhang Chen's offensive ability was higher than his own, he always felt that he would be able to win if he and Zhang Chen went head-to-head, and now when he heard such a good opportunity, he immediately geared up, and then said to his teammates on both sides: "Look at it!" I'm going to teach this damn guy a lesson! ”

"Cut ......" Everyone despised him uniformly, and Randolph suddenly felt that he had eaten ashes, and his belief in defeating Zhang Chen was even stronger.
