Chapter 272 Core Responsibilities
After the game against the Celtics, the Pacers will have a three-day break, and their next game is on the 6th, when they host the Phoenix Suns.
Today's Suns are no longer the team that used to be fast and almost no one can stop them, and this league will always leave a lot of regrets.
It's a pity that the former king at the top didn't get a championship ring.
The King's peak coincided with the Lakers at their peak, and at that time there were not only Lakers in the West, but also strong opponents like the Spurs.
The other is the Phoenix Suns, where D'Antoni can meet Nash, and maybe that's what God wants them to meet. It's impossible to tell who of them did whom, but it seems that God created ZĂ o in order to see the whirlwind Kombat of the sun, and then let them meet in Phoenix.
But God is cruel, and he lets such a style of play murder the eyes of many fans. But he gave the Suns an enemy like the San Antonio Spurs. Popovich's team seems to have been built to restrain their run-and-gun runs, and their steady style of play has allowed D'Antoni's fast-playing whirlwind to fall west year after year.
Maybe it's the curse of the regular season MVP, maybe it's God's cruelty, but the league does owe that Suns a championship.
After years without a championship, the Suns finally made a change last season when they traded O'Neal. According to the law of "those who have the inside line win the world".
Today's Suns are still figuring out their new style of play, but the strength of this Suns is still not to be underestimated.
If the Pacers are the most feared opponent, it may be the Suns. Putting aside other factors, just talking about the big shark on the inside, can the young and weak inside line of the Pacers withstand the ravages of the big shark?
The only good news for the Pacers is that the big shark is past his prime. If the Pacers encounter a big shark in their prime, the Pacers can almost surrender as long as the shark fights inside. If Li Cheng doesn't break out. There's a chance they'll win.
But now the Pacers don't have time to worry about who their next opponent is, and they are seizing the three-day break to train hard.
Stegan is now injecting his own philosophy into this Pacers team, and O'Brien's strategy is perfectly fine, but O'Brien has a lot of details that haven't been taken care of.
O'Brien didn't shape a player for this team at all. And if the players are allowed to develop freely like him, some people will grow crooked freely, and then a piece of Feiyu will be destroyed.
In the United States, there are too many geniuses who are buried because they don't meet their Bole, and there are too many Maxima who die halfway through because they don't meet a good rider.
In addition to those real geniuses who can fight their way out of the sky with their own efforts, the rest are some coaches who have met and understood themselves.
People like Nash, Billups, and Chris Webb all got their place in the league because they met coaches who knew them.
Stegan is a real genius, both as a player and as a coach. He's all shining with his own.
âŚâŚ
Li Chengcheng and Stegan met at the Pacers' training gym early this morning, and it was only five o'clock in the morning, so Stegan and Li Cheng had the opportunity to train alone.
Because the season has already begun, Stegan's training can only be seen in the middle of nowhere. The current time is too torturous for the players, and no one can stand it except for Li Cheng's perversion.
Li Cheng had already heard Stegan's story, and he was full of admiration for such a person.
"You're not rejecting my training plan today?"
Li Cheng scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "I practiced for a day yesterday, and I felt the effect when I competed at night, and the effect was really good!" â
Stegan laughed, "Isn't that right? You know. The man standing in front of you is the best basketball genius in the country. â
Li Cheng is really a little embarrassed, and today he found out that Stegen is still a little narcissistic!
Stegen said with a straight face: "Li Cheng, do you know your current problem?" â
Li Cheng shook his head blankly, he is almost a perfect image of the god of war now, and no one has said that he still has a zĂ i problem now. Even he didn't know what was wrong with him. He only knows to follow the rhythm of the "top of the basketball system" to improve little by little, and then maintain high-intensity training to not let his body degenerate.
Stegan said: "Your biggest problem right now is that your attacking methods are not diverse enough, and your aggression is far from enough. â
Li Cheng listened very carefully to Stegan's instructions.
Stegan added: "You should already know my past, I'm a point guard. But I don't pass the ball at key moments in the game, unless my teammates have a particularly good chance, which is more difficult if you don't shoot. That's how I pass the ball. â
Li Cheng shook his head a little dazedly and said, "Why?" â
"There are many reasons, I'll tell you slowly."
"First, as the core of the team, the boss of the team, the captain of the team, you can't hurt your teammates."
"Why?"
"Have you ever heard that?" Whoever you want to hurt, give the last ball to whoever you want to throw. ââ
Li Cheng frowned slightly, he seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence.
Generally speaking, the "last ball" comes when there is little time left in the game, and at such times it is usually a hasty tactical run and then a forced shot. Such a shot will naturally not have a high hit rate, but when the media commented on the game after the game, the kindest media would also add, "So-and-so player missed a good opportunity to kill." â
And the meaner media will say: "So-and-so player wasted a chance to kill." â
Therefore, the players who execute the team's last shot are all winged angels with one foot in hell and one foot in heaven.
And the last shot that Stegen is talking about here is not only the meaning of "lore ball", but also the meaning of shooting at critical moments.
Looking at the game of a certain Zhan in Cleveland, you can easily find that when the score of a certain emperor was anxious in the fourth quarter, he made far fewer shots than he passed.
If you shoot at a critical moment, you are the hero of the team if you enter, and you are the sinner of the team if you don't enter. And this kind of time is often easy for fans and the media to remember, so the players who still dare to shoot at this time are the players who dare to take the blame.
Stegen continued: "Second, you can't trust people at critical moments, because you can only trust yourself at that time. â
Li Cheng listened very carefully to Stegan's instructions.
"You should already know my past, I'm a point guard, but I don't pass the ball in key moments of the game, unless my teammates have a really good chance, the kind of chance that can't go in and doesn't shoot and it's more difficult, I pass the ball," Stegen added. â
