Luke knows that there will always be only one preferred offensive firepower point in this team, and he is Allen, and in Larry's system, as long as Allen is enough, the rest of the team can do enough as long as they can defend and have a stable shot, all they have to do is to use the defense to catch the opponent's ball, and then he plays or passes the ball, they just need to shoot the ball in the right position.

Luke understands that if you want to be a starter, then defense is essential. It's good to have a good body defensively, but it's not the most important thing. There are a lot of people who don't have a good body and they become good defenders. Of course, they don't have good stats, but their contribution to the team is unmatched. For example, Raja of the current team, and Bruce Bowen, who has not yet been discovered, are such players. They are good defensively, they have a lot of awareness, they dare to work hard, and they have a lot of experience. It can be said that experience is the key to judging whether a defender is good or not.

Because of this, offense can be talented, but defense isn't something that can be practiced in a day.

Although Luke is good defensively, he is not very good in the NBA, and Luke is not willing to lose the starting position, his current opponent is super offensive stars like Kobe, Allen, and Marbury, and it is not a simple defense that can be guarded. Even if he can defend one-on-one, basketball is a five-person sport, and as long as one block and pick and roll, he can break free from the defense, not to mention the double block and pick tactics, which are unguardable.

Luke wants to strengthen his defense, what should he do?

Don't worry, the Philadelphia 76ers are now a "concentration camp" for defensive players, and there are all kinds of defensive players. It has to do with Larry's team-building philosophy. Larry is a defensive-minded coach who has coached teams that are known for their defense (of course, that time with the New York Knicks was a failure, mainly because the general manager and owner of the Knicks demanded offense and big names, and Larry was completely uncomfortable. Alas...... ）。

So if you want to learn defense, the 76ers are all teachers, of course Allen doesn't count (AI offense can be rated 98, but defense is ...... amount only 5). Those in the 76ers who have the body can learn from Ben Wallace, those who don't have the body can learn from Snow, the outside can learn from George Lynch (a defensive titan from North Carolina), and the inside can learn from Theo Ratley (this guy was a starting All-Star in 2000, but he was injured, and now he is playing, like in the Lakers). You can even learn from Michael. This guy is not as lonely as he was at the beginning, his score has risen, and his defense is even more fierce (this guy can resist Ray Allen, who still likes dunks at that time).

And in the face of Luke, a "red man" who is favored by the team and appreciated by the coach and the team boss, everyone has nothing to hide, and almost teaches their own defensive experience and defensive skills. In addition, after training every afternoon, Luke returned home and had a simple dinner, and rushed into the bedroom to watch the game tapes of those defensive players, learn every move of those defensive giants in it, and figure out what to do if it was him. These players who are willing to do blue-collar jobs on the field and have a reputation as coolies may not be noticed for the rest of their lives, but their contribution to the team cannot be ignored. Luke wants his coaches and teammates to know that he can not only be the heart of the offense, but also the outside and even the inside.

Gradually, Luke's defensive skills improved a lot.

In the team, the boss Allen's request cannot be refused, and he pulls Luke to fight bulls every day, so he knows Luke's progress better than anyone else.

In the beginning, Allen could score points with his speed, but then he had to rely on experience and small movements. Later, he found that even his experience was seen through by Luke (not to mention Allen's defense, many people can beat him into a stopper) and it became more and more difficult to score.

"Damn it!" Aaron scolded, "Rookie, are you human or not!" How the defense is improving so fast! You're not going to let you live! ”

"No way, who taught me to be a genius? If you have the ability, you can also learn, and your value will at least double if you defend well. Luke scoffed.

"Damn rookie." Aaron said, "Don't be too arrogant, see that I don't beat you into a plug." ”

"If you have the ability, old bird, let me see!" Luke didn't show weakness either.

The game is on again.

I don't know how long it took, Luke took possession of the ball, shook people first, then threw the ball to the rebound, rode Allen to pay attention to the ball, quickly went down, flew up and grabbed the ball flying back from the rebound, caught it with both hands, and slammed the dunk with the big windmill. This was Maddie's later signature slam dunk and later All-Star repertoire, but now it's been robbed by Luke

"Beautiful!" Aaron let out a genuine exclamation. "If you can dunk one on the head of the guy in Los Angeles during the regular season, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

"Who?" Of course Luke knew who it was, "O'Neill, forget it, I want to live a few more years." Luke made a little joke.

"Luke, of course it's not him," Aaron said with a serious face, "you know who I'm talking about!" ”

"Hahaha, lie to you......" Luke said, Allen broke through and scored a goal, "Hey, you're a big star anyway, don't do a surprise attack." ”

"Hmph, who told you not to answer me." Aaron looked disgruntled.

"Okay, okay, I know it's wrong, but I'm not interested." Luke dribbles the ball.

"Why?" Aaron was puzzled.

"That's your opponent, how can I grab it?" Luke said "seriously".

"And who are you up against?" Aaron was curious.

"T-Mac, Tracy McGrady." With that, Luke started the breakthrough.

"Oh, it's him......" Allen's face suddenly realized, and suddenly found that Luke had scored the ball, "Hey, rookie, you can't be so shameless!" ”

"You weren't like that just now." Luke said with a look of disdain.

"Come again, come again." Aaron said.

"Come again, come again, who is afraid of whom?" Luke said.

Then the ball hit the floor again, and the wooden floor made a screeching sound.

In the end, both men fell. Luke asked, "Hey, old bird, what's your dream for this year?" ”

"Of course it's a championship," Allen said, propping himself up, "what else could it be?" ”

"Old bird, your goal is too shallow, no!" "What should that be?" Aaron was puzzled.

"It should be the regular season MVP, the All-Star MVP, the Finals MVP, the scoring champion and the championship."

"Uh......" Allen was embarrassed, "only Jordan did it." ”

"It's just that now you're only told to do it if Jordan does it. Got you worse than Jordan? ”

"Of course not, how could I be inferior to him." Allen didn't like Jordan as soon as he entered the league, "But, this is very difficult. ”

"It's okay, I'll help you." Luke said by patting Aaron on the shoulder.

"Thank you." Aaron was moved.

This pair of two-gun combinations, which would later make the league's teams fearful, was officially formed.

The Philadelphia 76ers officially set sail!!

ps: There are some more heroines.,I'm in a hurry to use it.。 Thank you.
