Chapter 45: Anthony and Jeremy Lin's Grievances
The first thing almost all head coaches have to solve is the problem of star bonding, and although there are legends of N giants in the NBA, there are more legends of unsuccessful combinations.
The combination of stars is obviously not as simple and enjoyable as the combination of Haitian Feast, which is the gap between a great manager and a shrunken manager.
Wang Xiaomu obviously didn't want to be the kind of person who couldn't fill the crap, so he needed to solve this problem as soon as possible. But in the gap when he was thinking quietly, Byron Davis was injured again in a defense and was carried off the field by his teammates.
The injury does not appear to be minor, but it needs to be confirmed by the team doctor. While sending comfort, Wang Xiaomu also stretched out his true qi to probe the bottom and found that it was the recurrence of an old knee injury.
To be honest, the athletic life of NBA players, center guards and centers is not long, mainly because the wear and tear of the knees is too great, and Yao Ming's retirement is obviously proof of this. Even in amateur competitions, many of them start at the age of 30 with various joint pains, fluid in the knees, frequent broken feet, and so on. However, for the Chinese people, this is not a thing, the way the Chinese people die is strange, the love of sports will cause a small illness and a small disaster at most, and most people have no money to go skiing, so naturally nothing will happen. (Here's a blessing to the King of Cars)
After comforting his players, Wang Xiaomu pondered for a long time, and always felt that this thing was a bit strange, as if every time he made an abnormal transformation of the team, he would be affected in various ways, such as Xiao Si's funeral, such as the injury of Melon, and then to the injuries of Bibi and Byron. Is there a connection? Could it be that this is the so-called way of heaven, where there is more than enough to make up for what is lacking?
Wang Daoshi, who hadn't figured it out for the time being, put this matter behind him, which was also the reason why he was able to quickly rise in the cultivation realm. It is said that all kinds of puzzles in the world can be solved with a simple formula:
Are you confused?
A1: No. = So what are you worried about?
A2: Yes, the second question: Can you solve it?
Can = then what are you worried about?
Can't = then what are you worried about?
So, worry about it!
It is not a big heart that cooperates with Wang Xiaomu, but his big nerves.
Back on the court, the score has changed, and the Knicks' Bill Walker has found his senses, and he even feels that Shijie's peaceful defense definitely deserves a peaceful beat. Before the official timeout, the Knicks extended their seven-point lead in the first quarter to nine.
After the timeout, Jeremy Lin and Chandler came on the court together. Here, Coach Jelly stood still and let Kobe Bryant and his sister-in-law continue to rest.
The so-called wealthy families are basically common problems. First of all, they forced the N giants together, and they had to meet the huge salaries of the giants, which means that they basically don't have enough salary space to sign haode substitute players. This creates a disjointed phenomenon, when the main team is on the field, the team is arrogant, like Obama, who wants to play whom, and play invincible opponents all over the world; As soon as the main force got off the field, it immediately became Saddam's virtue, whoever wants to be on whom, a collection of funny mistakes.
Therefore, the giants' substitutes don't want to play well, they just want them to let the main team rest for a while.
Jeremy Lin came on and tried his touch, but he didn't score the first goal, but he quickly adjusted to shoot the second goal.
There was no way, at this time, Coach Jelly had to let Kobe Bryant and his sister-in-law reappear.
After Kobe Bryant came on the court, he obviously strengthened his breakthrough and defense against Jeremy Lin, and his sister-in-law, who was close to Kobe, also waved her arms and increased her movements.
Under pressure from the Lakers, Jeremy Lin made two consecutive pass errors.
Star players must have the ability to adjust themselves quickly, and Wang Xiaomu obviously will no longer pause specifically for Xiaolinzi. Coach Wang felt that he had some ideas about how to arrange Anthony and Jeremy Lin, but he couldn't think of anything after thinking about it.
At this time, an assist from Bynum to Kobe Bryant on the court finally awakened Wang Xiaomu's memory. By the way, Woodson once told him that there is a role in this shijie called, playmaker small forward.
The question of who is the best playmaker in the world seems to be easy to answer. First of all, Big Bird Larry Bird is excluded from the options, this guy is a data machine and completely incomparable (career 24 + 10 + 6.3). Secondly, the most famous founder of the Bull dynasty, Scott Pippen. At present, the most organized small forward in the league is the hottest Hot team James. In addition, Turkoglu and AK47 are also representatives.
This role is different from the small forward with organizational ability, its daily role is to be a father and a mother, you need to pass when someone attacks, and you need to shoot when no one attacks, and James is a liliang organizational small forward, and its representative four-step layup is simply invincible in the universe.
The idea that flashed in Wang Xiaomu's head just now was to talk about Anthony being a small forward who could pass the ball.
Assistant coach Woodson, who was nervously staring at the situation on the field, watched the head coach beside him, his eyes were contemplative, and his eyes were shining, and he didn't dare to disturb. It wasn't until Jeremy Lin scored again in a row to force the Lakers to take a timeout that he reminded the head coach that the players were back and needed to lay out their tactics.
"Oh," Wang Xiaomu was almost poked in the head by the tactical board handed over by Woodson, and after taking the tactical board, he actually compared the running position of Anthony in his mind on it.
The continuous dotted solid line made the surrounding Knicks players scratch their heads, and finally Jeremy Lin couldn't help but ask, "Head, are you creating?" ”
Coach Wang, who was interrupted from his train of thought, was naturally unhappy, and said a few perfunctory words at will, and sent a group of guys to the field in a duck-like manner.
The Lakers were scolded by the head coach after the timeout, and the two sides finally had a sparkling rhythm of the game. Due to the overbearing attitude of the players on the court, the referee even awarded Jeremy Lin an illegal defensive foul.
Knicks assistant coach Woodson was the first to protest, slapping the table and smashing the chair, and later found himself leading by more than 10 points, so he didn't go any further to Jishutai to make trouble. Everyone looked at him happily, which made Woodson a little sneered.
"Old Wood, Old Wood, what do you think if Anthony is played as a playmaker small forward?" After Wang Xiaomu finished thinking, he formally told Woodson about his ideas. He is also self-aware, and as a head coach, he also controls the general direction and makes small moves. The real implementation has to be the dedicated model Woodson.
Woodson was stunned by Wang Xiaomu's idea. It took a long time to come back to the taste.
"You say Cameron plays playmaking small forward?" Woodson almost screamed, but was held down by Wang Xiaomu, who was quick and quick-eyed, and Wang Xiaomu didn't want Anthony in a suit and leather shoes on the side to hear it. I haven't even scratched the eight words.
"Absolutely impossible, you have the best offensive player in the league to organize, so who do you want to score? You know? Scott Pippen, the best playmaker in NBA history, averages 6-7 assists per game, but he has Jordan to pass the ball. But with the Knicks, who do you want to catch and shoot? Woodson was clearly not happy with the bad idea.
"Lao Wu, think about it calmly, weishenme has so many scoring champions who have become champions? It's because no matter how many ways they attack, they can only fight alone. I think Cameron's current problem is that he needs to improve on his passing, not that he doesn't need to pass! Wang Xiaomu frowned and said, he is not used to children, well, he does not have children.
"It's just a fallacy!" Woodson was so angry that his beard was about to blow off, and it smelled of blowing off his hair.
"That's the status quo, and they have to change. Jeremy Lin's basketball magnet style of play also needs to be changed, and his average dribbling height and passing height are still far behind the league's excellent guards, and Davis and Bibby are better than him. We need a dual-core engine, and it's not king to rely only on the ball from the defender and from the forward only. To be honest, our current players are strong enough to challenge for the Eastern Conference championship, but if we want to go further, there must be a qualitative change. Wang Xiaomu didn't have any cheating procedures in his hands, except for the magnification of the opponent's arms and legs, he didn't come up with any tricks to win, if he wanted to bring the championship ring, he had to test all the players.
To be honest, Woodson thinks that it would be good for the team to get close to the second round of the playoffs this year, after all, they were swept out last year, seeing Wang Xiaomu's high spirits, he also gritted his teeth and wanted to go crazy together, although he was not optimistic about Wang Xiaomu's transformation and the two major stars at the same time, but who made the family the head coach.
The two of them shook their hands and set the tone for the team.
And Anthony, who was wearing a suit on the side, and Jeremy Lin, who was about to go to the basket on the court, both felt cold, as if they were being targeted by a poisonous snake.
The Knicks, under the command of two unscrupulous coaches, led the Lakers 49-41 in the first half. Jeremy Lin still felt hot, and at the juncture, he first completed a difficult turnaround and back-to-back jumper, and then turned another dragon to break through the backhand layup and score, turning the Lakers' dream of tying the score in the first half into a bubble! Zuihou 18.6 seconds, Gasol received a pass from Barnes and scored an empty dunk to save some face for the Lakers. After the first half, Jeremy Lin had 18 points and five assists.
"Good fight!" Wang Xiaomu just wanted to comment and found that he didn't seem to be looking at Zuihou much for a few minutes, "Oh, let Coach Woodson give you a comment." ”
Woodson obviously didn't know that Wang Xiaomu's Tai Chi pusher had reached the realm of perfection and was almost choked. But he can't help but talk about him as the team's No. 2 coach. "That play is not rough, especially, Xiao Si, ahem, I'm talking about Davis."
Byron Davis, who had been recovering from his injuries in the locker room, exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Coach, you call me? ”
Fortunately, before the Knicks players were messy, halftime came, otherwise everyone would have to take a few tablets of schizophrenia in the second half to play normally.
