Chapter 25: The Second Conversation with the Coach (Part II)
PS: It's still the same question from yesterday, and he's still arguing with me. Yes, you're right, but that's not good now, you can't run under the age of 19, James entered the NBA at the age of 18, Milicic was 17 years old, and I told you that it was 2000, it was different. Besides, it's not that I don't want to be drafted, but the registration time is closed, and then go? Are you there to go? Below is the text.
"What's the matter?" Luke asked.
"You and Allen are both attacking players, and both you and Allen are strong enough to attack......"
"I understand......" Luke said.
"No, no, no, it's not an addition of one plus one equals two. If the two attackers cooperate well, then it is very likely that one is equal to two, or even greater than two, equal to three, equal to four, it is possible; But if the two attackers don't work together well, then it is very likely to ruin the whole team. So ......"
"So someone has to hand over the ball!" Luke interjected.
"Oh, you know," Larry said, "then I'll get straight to the point: you're going to control your shots." Allen is a hero of Philadelphia, he has unlimited fire, and he can be the only output point for this team. Everybody wants to see him score. So I hope that in future games there will not be the same situation as in the first quarter today; Also, you need to strengthen your defense......"
"Wait, Mr. Coach. Do you know what the biggest flaw of this team is? Luke asked a question.
"What is it?" Larry was curious.
"It's Aaron!" Luke said solemnly.
"Oh?" Larry narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me about it." ”
'Allen is the spiritual and substantial leader of this team, he is the soul of this team. All the team-building facilities are for him. All the players except Aaron and Aaron McGee are weak in attack and strong in defense, and Aaron McGee is also very good. Of course I know it has to do with your team building philosophy, you like a team that defends well. But that's the biggest problem with this team. Except for the core and sixth man, the rest of the players on the team are shooters or players who are good at secondary offense. Almost all of the team's shots are in Aaron's hands. This unleashes his attack power, which is good. But there is only one point of attack, which is very easy to defend, you only need to send someone to mark and defend, and then use Jordan's rule to completely limit the attack power of this team. Of course, Allen isn't that easy to defend either, he's the league's best scorer. But what if I use some underhanded tactics, like injuring Allen with a fringe player, what if the 76ers love that? From one of the strongest in the league to one of the weakest, the saying 'offense gets fans, defense wins championships' is true, but basketball is a scoring game, and the more you score, the more you win. There will always be mistakes in defense. So, finding someone to help Aaron score is the most important thing. ”
"That's why we signed you." Larry smiled.
"Yes, I'm on the one hand." Luke said.
"You can score, you can assist, you can steal, you can block, you can defend well, it's just a little bit worse than rebounding, but that's okay, we have one of the best rebounders, and that's not important. You're almost completely able to make up for Allen's shortcomings, so I'm going to put you in the starting line-up, and I'm not completely restricting your shots. Right. Larry laughs.
"Yes." Luke replied.
"I vouched for you when the team hierarchy asked me to restrict you, so don't make it difficult for me, okay?" Larry said.
Luke said, "Okay, coach. But ......"
"I know what you're going to say." Larry interrupted Luke, "You're trying to say that the team's power forwards are right?" ”
"yes," Luke said, "you know, I'm not an orthodox PF, and I'm ...... playing power forward."
"Hard, right?" "That's the third reason I'm looking for you today: to help me find a good power forward." You've been in a hospital bed for so long, there must have been research (Luke: Hey, what do you mean, is it also a good treatment to lie in a hospital bed?). )。 Then he added, "Of course, it can't be too expensive (Luke: You don't blush, there are so many good and cheap, you should be a cabbage.) )。 ”
"Uh......" Luke was speechless, but his mind was still spinning quickly.
"The best power forward in the league today is of course Chris Webb, and now is he in his prime, and he can do anything offensively. Defence...... Hehehe. But with offense alone, he's the strongest in the league. The second is the 'Big Dog' Robinson, 'Big Mom' Johnson, Karl Malone and Tim Duncan, who are the second best stars in the league, but the value (Tim can't buy it with money, and the Spurs don't sell it...... Thinking about the Spurs this year, alas) ......, and then Kevin Garnett, Elton Brand and Nowitzki, they haven't fully grown yet, but once they mature, they're another big killer in the league, but they're not cheap either; And players like Anthony Walker and Van Horn are good, but not what we need. I recommend a player, as I said before, Rasheed Wallace, who is a talented power forward, versatile, balanced in attack and defense, outstanding team awareness, high tactical literacy, typical preppy play, valuing winning more than personal data, excellent teamplayer. It's just that your temper is hard to control and you get angry easily, but I'm sure you can control it. Then there's Marcus Camby, a super good defender, but we already have a big book, so there's no need for him; Jermaine O'Neal has excellent physicality, is equally good offensively and defensively, and has potential to tap into. He can play as both a power forward and a center, and is one of the best substitutes. Mark Jack and Sundale Davis are also very good players, not superstars, but they can play at the power forward position. Of course we can also sign Dennis Rodman, who has a weird temper, but I'm sure you can suppress him too, and he's still rebounding, and he's still very good. Of course, he is certainly on the fringes of the team. ”
"Well, you're right, these players look really good." Larry said, "I'll have a good talk with Mr. General Manager." ”
"Yes, Coach." Luke replied.
"Okay, it's nothing to do now, you can go back first." Larry said.
"Yes, Coach." Luke said as he got up, "Goodbye then, Coach." ”
"Goodbye." Larry said.
It wasn't until Luke was gone that Larry said, "I've really picked up a treasure." Not only do we play well, but we also provide the players we need the most to strengthen the team. There is hope for this year's championship. But...... He's so good, it's not easy to keep him next year, damn it, why did you only sign a one-year contract with him, and you should have signed a few more years in the first place...... Okay, let's not think about that, let those team executives have a headache and go to bed first. ”
After saying that, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
