Chapter 310: Fight the Whirlwind

"The interior staff is very untidy right now, so we need to change!" This sentence is a sentence that Jim O'Brien said at the press conference after losing to the Trail Blazers, this sentence may not seem nutritious, but it shows that Jim O'Brien has an attitude that he needs to make changes to the team, otherwise it will be difficult for the Pacers to win the game with the current style of play! Now no one in the entire league is looking at the Pacers anymore.

After all, compared to other teams, the Pacers do have some problems on the inside, although it has been confirmed.

Al Jefferson and Troy Murphy will both be back before the playoffs begin, but their form is also an issue at that point.

There are a lot of issues to be considered, some of them are chasing after the wind, but some of them do talk about the weaknesses of the Pacers' side.

Look at the current lineup of the Pacers, there are three interior centers left, Roy Hibbert, Earl Barron and Darko Milicic, two left on the power forward, Tyrus Thomas and Tyler Hansbrough, two left on the small forward, Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy, two points guard left, Dundee Jones and Luthor Hyde, two point guards left Zhang Kong and Earl Watson, five people are selected from these people to form a starting lineup, the only thing that needs to be won is to win the game.

However, it is no longer possible to play defense, and Murphy's absence has made the Pacers' interior defense worse than it was at the beginning of the season.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Jim O'Brien does not like Milicic, who has been performing well recently.

Although the performance is not good, it is also an extremely eye-catching one among those substitutes.

Probably because of his poor record in the past, Jim O'Brien didn't choose to believe him.

Still, he was put on the bench and promoted more athletic players to the starting lineup.

The current Pacers team does need to change, and fortunately, there have been teams that have told the Pacers how to change.

The current lineup plays positions, and there are almost no good adjectives other than being abused.

So the head coach of the Pacers, Jim O'Brien, thought about it for a moment and decided that he wanted to speed up the team's offense.

Yes, he wants to play fast, instead of watching the inside line of the station be stormed like this, it is better to give up with the outside defense, and just let Zhang Kong or Dundee Jones defend the opponent's top soldiers, although the offense is not king, but now the Pacers want not the king, what he needs is a model that can continue until the end of the season, and he needs to wait until Murphy and Al Jefferson come back.

As long as they come back, the Pacers' defense is still strong, and there will be absolutely no problem playing the playoffs like this.

If you want to play fast, there are two kinds, one is to learn from Dantony, and the other is to learn from old Nelson, and the former pays attention to routine offense.

What is a routine attack? Look at the offense of the Suns at their peak, Nash controls the ball and indirectly controls the game, and the rest of the Suns run, tearing open spaces, looking for opportunities to attack, it seems to be playing fast, but every ball is very reasonable, they are all playing according to this routine, if it weren't for the original Suns team full of only six people playing (in fact, they are all watching the water cooler), maybe the Suns will go further!

And then the old Nelson's fast attack is another mode, this model Zhang Kong likes to call him chaotic war, because this model does not require routines, unreasonable three points, violent dunks, breakthroughs, countless, all they need to do is attack, attack and attack, by the way, this muddy water is more mixed, and then they may touch the fish in the next game.

The Suns' running and shooting are pushing the limit of fluidity, and they need to be extremely fast on offense to get the ball in.

The Warriors' chaotic battles, the pursuit of the limit is a kind of berserk surname, they need extremely wild power to hit the ball in.

The two offenses look very similar, but there is a fundamental difference, now the Suns are playing well, and the record is relatively stable, while the Warriors are not very good, because the injury problem is a bit big, so after research, coupled with the temper of the players on the Pacers' side, Jim O'Brien finally decided to imitate Dantony's tactics, of course, to be improved, belonging to the Pacers' running and bombing...... And if you want to play like this, then speed must be the first choice, and Milicic is eliminated again.

It's not that easy to change a team's tactics, not to mention that the Pacers simply don't have time to study it.

No. 2 plays the Lakers, No. 3 plays the Trail Blazers, No. 4 needs to fly directly to Denver, No. 5 plays the Nuggets in Denver, and No. 6 will fly to Phoenix to play the Suns.

There was no time to learn this new set of tactics, before going to Denver, they practiced in the rented court for 20 minutes, and then immediately flew to Denver, and after the break, they practiced for another hour before playing Denver, and then the Pacers had to face the Denver players directly, and the time was too tight.

The emergency lineup, center Roy Hibbert, and power forward were placed on the body of Tyrus Thomas, a spring man, because he ran fast and jumped very high, although the defense was quite poor, the small forward was still Granger, the scoring guard Dundee Jones, the point guard Zhang Kong, the backcourt lineup has not changed, in fact, there is no need to change.

Zhang Kong, this player is such an existence, as the so-called a blank sheet of paper is easy to paint, Zhang Kong is now a 'blank paper', if you want him to play fast, he can play fast, if you want him to play slow, he can play slow, he does not have his own style.

Before playing the Nuggets, Zhang Kong first got out all the survival points he had saved and added them!

Zhang Kong's surname point has been saved for nine games recently, except for after adding the surname before playing the Spurs after the All-Star Game, his survival point has been left until now, there is no way for him to add survival points casually now, after all, he has to change the recovery stone.

Murphy's injury has been recovered with a recovery stone, and he can return to the team in about half a month, of course, referring to the best condition, if you can barely play, a week is also okay, but a week and half a month are no different for the current Pacers, nine games, Zhang Kong has a total of 74 survival points, after deducting 3 survival points plus 4 survival points consumed by a recovery stone, there are still 70 survival points left, and Zhang Kong has all changed to his surname.

Now is the time when Zhang Kong needs to shine, and he will not keep a survival point to stink in his caste list.

70 points belong to the surname, 20 points were added to the mid-range shooting, the mid-range shooting was increased to 80 points, the free throw was added to 80 points with 20 points, and the layup was also added to the 80 level with 20 points, and finally 10 points, Zhang Kong thought about it and added it to the defensive rebound, now there are not too many players on the inside, and Zhang Kong also needs to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the defensive rebound.

After adding the surname, Zhang Kongzhi took another step forward to move his level to level eighty, although this step did not seem big.

The overall rating is just from 77 levels, It has become 77.9 level, not even one level has been raised, as the level is getting higher and higher, the surname that 70 points of survival points can play can play a role, and it is getting smaller and smaller, according to Zhang Kong's own estimate, his surname can reach level 85 at the end of this season, which is quite high, and 85 is also a hurdle, a hurdle between ordinary players and all-star level players, all-stars in the real world, completely depending on their popularity, and in the system surname, all-stars are a real existence, after adding the surname points, there is only one thing that the Pacers need to do next, waiting for the game to come.

The No. 4 Pacers flew to Denver, and after staying in the hotel they rented in Denver, Jim O'Brien did not wear a curfew, because the players on the Pacers' side have been a little too tired lately, not only physically, but also mentally.

Now that he is in Denver, Jim O'Brien has decided to give his players a day off because he didn't play today, and the Pacers players, who haven't tasted meat for several days, naturally agreed.

Although Denver is not as luxurious as Los Angeles, it is also a big city after all, and in the mood of being fish-free and shrimp-free, the walkers will take advantage of the night to run out of the hotel and have fun...... Nightlife is essential in any city, and the mainstream response to these nightlife is the stressful white-collar workers who work in the company during the day.

Of course, there will also be some wealthy businessmen or people in the entertainment industry who come to hunt for beauty, to see if they can find someone who can look at it, and have fun and have a one-night stand, this thing has just emerged in China, but it is not a new thing in the United States.

"Hey, Zhang, it's your first time in a place like this, I'll teach you how to relax in a while!" Watson patted Zhang Kong's shoulder and said loudly to Zhang Kong, of course, this could only be exchanged for Zhang Kong's helpless smile...... Originally, he would never come to such a place, but unfortunately, the head coach ordered him to let Zhang Kong come here with these Pacers players, which meant that Zhang Kong would tell these people that he would advance and retreat with them.

Men are most likely to have brotherly feelings in two places, one is on the battlefield, the sense of trust that teaches their comrades behind the scenes can make those comrades-in-arms become brothers, and the second place is in such a Fengyue place, because these players in the NBA have wives or girlfriends, and they naturally need to be trusted when they bring their buddies to expose their 'secrets'.

Zhang Kong was very unhappy, so he was forcibly pulled over...... He's really not interested in places like this...... Zhang Kong is going to be bull x, so stay tuned!
