"Even-bought Ka, this is written casually when I have insomnia?"

Doug Collins exclaimed and looked at Li Ao, who was wearing an eyepatch to catch up on sleep.

Well, it should be.

This scribbled handwriting, written and written in Chinese? The changed English is crossed out at the back, and the messy sorting can be seen how casual it is when it is written, and it may not even be taken to heart at all, that is, what is thought of and written when I have insomnia.

After carefully flipping through it again, Doug Collins said: "Leo's understanding of the rules, his understanding of basketball, is fantastic, and I was able to build a defensive system based on the rule of 'eliminating the early pinch violation', and it was completely incidental to help the interior adapt to the defense for three seconds." ”

"Yes, Leo, like me, saw what the new rules could really do, and he noticed that defending for three seconds might be far less diluting than being able to pinch it early.

But it's a pity that Leo's defensive thinking requires a point guard with excellent defensive awareness, and even a point guard with his strong defensive ability to do it. ”

"Haha, you still want the players to give you a defensive system directly? That's enough to help us further improve our defensive system, be content. ”

"Yes, but we still can't change it in a hurry, let's first observe the referee's tolerance for 'early pinching' to see if the league really wants to enforce this rule."

"Yes, I think so, but we don't need to look slowly, it's just pre-season, and we'll just try it for tomorrow's game...... When it comes to a point guard as good as Leo's defense, Alvin, I heard that we had planned to bring in Kidd before, and we all gave an offer, but it was rejected, and when Leo wanted to defend according to the new rules, did he think of Kidd as a defensive method that his point guard teammates thought of? ”

Gentry's eyes widened, and he snatched the small notebook and flipped it through again.

He scolded as he watched.

Wally Walker actually considered that the Suns didn't want to send Kidd to a Western rival team, so he put Odom, who averaged 14+8+8+1+1 per game, into the trade chips.

When the Nets wanted to trade Marbury for Odom, Wally Walker didn't agree, and his first target was Nash or Kidd.

Odom, plus Margety, who averaged 23 minutes per game against the Kings in the playoffs, and two first-round picks and a rookie center with good immediate strength, was more than enough to replace Kidd, who was bent on leaving, but was rejected by Colangelo Jr.

And Colangelo Jr. also hung them first, secretly negotiated with the Nets, and snatched their spare tire Marbury away, making it clear that he was targeting their Clippers and trying to stifle their rise in terms of trades.

plus the defensive system in front of them that can be directly used if they have Kidd and modify it according to the actual situation of their interior line......

Gentry gritted his teeth and asked, "Doug, when are we going to play the Suns?" ”

…

At half past five in the evening of the 12th, the Oracle Arena also staged a 'Jordan Fan Meeting'.

The game starts at 6 o'clock.

The Clippers continue to practice their offensive runs and defensive ends to help Odom, O'Neal Jr., Sean Lukes, Jeron Collins, and Lafonso Ellis adapt to the three-second rule.

The Warriors played the same style of play as they did in the regular season last season, with Jamison and Larry Hughes taking turns picking and the two of them were tired last season, leaving Blakelow with the rest of the ball going to Blakelow.

But Blakelow has been tossed so much that he has lost his passion for basketball in the past two seasons, giving up on himself in the offseason, hanging out in nightclubs, getting addicted to alcohol, and paying a lot of money in a drunk driving accident in the offseason.

But someone took the ball – Jason Richardson.

Playing against Li Ao again, Jason Richardson thought of the loss in last year's crazy three finals, and played very hard, throwing 18 times, 8 of 18 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, to score 21 points.

He wanted to compete with Li Ao very much, but the other party ignored him and concentrated on the offensive and tactical cooperation with his teammates, which made him very crazy but helpless.

After two hours of play, the Clippers lost 91-104.

The game was lost, and the Clippers players were somewhat unhappy.

Although the game is only a preseason game, it is like playing and masturbating, and I don't want to lose.

Thankfully, they had a great deal tonight!

Today, the interior players moved more purposefully in the three-second zone, and the number of defensive three-seconds they ate also plummeted to just 10.

This is still up to Larry Hughes, a top-level swingman who breaks through the top lineback, to make up for it.

Of course, this is still not good enough.

Such a rule should be controlled to as few as walking, two dribbling, attacking for three seconds, and hitting people with the ball, 10 defensive three-second violations in a game, and 10 free throws to the opponent, which is definitely not good.

However, there was a noticeable improvement in Game 2, and the Clippers were already ahead of many teams.

The other teams are still in the process of learning about the new rules in Game 2.

To be able to make such a big progress, it is inseparable from the efforts of the Clippers insider.

When O'Neal Jr. arrived at his hotel in Oakland yesterday, he called his interior teammates together to discuss the violations he had suffered during the Kings game and exchange defensive tips with each other.

But on this basis, the two interior player movement training sessions that Gentry practiced this morning also contributed to it.

After those drills worked in actual combat, O'Neal Jr. and other insiders were full of praise for Gentry.

Although Gentry was deserved, he still deserved it.

Before training this morning, Li Ao found him and asked him to take the defensive ideas in the small book as his own.

said that he wanted him to show a little more coaching talent and put a layer of gold, otherwise when the season starts, he may not be able to control some players named Mike and Michael in the team.

He was a little puzzled at first, but tonight even Jordan looked at him differently, praised his defensive coaching after the game, and talked to him about the changes that can be made on the defensive end after allowing early pinching, the best defensive player is the best defensive player, and the prediction of the impact of allowing early pinching coincides with him and Spider-Man...... He understood, he needed to be plated with this layer of gold.

Kneel Sheilling and cut off the Lakers!

To Spider-Man, Gentry was even more grateful.

This super genius not only changed his coaching career, but without Spider-Man, he doesn't know how long he can sit in the position of head coach, and he didn't dare to expect the best coach before.

Now, it gives him the opportunity to continue to sit in the position of head coach!

Doug Collins also didn't have a big mouth, and he asked Gentry not to tell others that this little book was given by Li Ao before Li Ao.

He knows Jordan better than anyone on the team, and if Gentry doesn't make some eye-catching moves, the new season will be played, and it is really possible that he will be set up in the air.

Gentry isn't as well-known as Larry Brown and can hold down a superstar.

It's not like Phil Jackson's amazing coaching talent that can make a superstar surrender.

The basketball god is a very controlling player.

Doug Collins also saw that Mike Bibby was also a very egoistic player.

In such a situation, Gentry is not capable, he is good at building a team system, but this thing is inconspicuous.

He worked hard to get dozens of pages of defensive tactics and build the basic framework of the defensive system, but in the eyes of the players, it was not as good as the two improvised inside movement training sessions today.

Helping Gentry 'submit' Jordan, Doug Collins is not 'betraying' Jordan, but helping Jordan.

He knew this apprentice very well, and knew that Jordan didn't have the ability to be a coach at all, but he was obsessed with confidence.

Maintaining the stability of the relationship between the coach and the players is very important for Jordan at this age.

…

After returning to Los Angeles after two consecutive trips, Gentry consulted with his advisor and began to play high-pressure mode.

In the game with the Warriors, Gentry instructed the bench players to directly pinch Jamison when he asked for the ball in the third quarter, and used two people to restrict Jamison from receiving the ball, the players did not understand, but did so, and the referee did not blow the whistle as in previous years! He confirmed that the 'early pinching violation' is really history!

On the 13th, they had a day off on the day they returned to Los Angeles, and on the 14th, the Clippers had a high-intensity defensive workout as a team.

With the ideas provided by Li Ao, Gentry led the coaching staff to make drastic adjustments to the defensive system according to the actual situation of their team, which was very aggressive, and the training required became more.

The sudden increase in training intensity made many players complain, and at this time, Jordan took the initiative to stand up and scold the complaining players.

The teammates then remembered that the basketball god has never been a gentle teammate!

They felt that Spider-Man was simply not too gentle at this time...... What a fart!

They saw the trainer come out with a sandbag rack, and Spider-Man flew up with a kick that kicked the sandbag in a circle in the air.

Wait, Captain, what are you wearing? Rugby protectors? Don't you hate rugby the most?

Matt Harprin was seen slamming into the swinging sandbag, which took off again......

Teammates: (⊙x⊙; )

Can't we shut up and practice? What are you doing such a scary thing!

With the help of three team leaders, Gentry's defensive system adjustment went very well.

Seeing Jordan's attitude change further, they all took the initiative to help him maintain his coaching authority, and Gentry knew Jordan a little more.

In the eyes of the greatest star in basketball history, a head coach can do the wrong thing, but he can't be mediocre and incompetent, and he has to be bold when he has an idea.

On the 15th, the Clippers welcomed the challenge of the Warriors at home, and in this game, the role of defensive adjustment was not obvious.

But in the games of No. 18 at home against the Kings and No. 20 at home against the Trail Blazers, it was clear that the Clippers players felt the effect of adjusting the defensive system.

At the beginning of the game, they restrained Webb and Divac's Princeton, and although they quickly reacted and they couldn't prevent it, they saw hope! Hope to beat the Kings!

With the actual combat results, in the afternoon of the 21st and the morning of the 22nd, there was no need for Spider-Man, the basketball god, and the captain's 'intimidation', and the teammates became more active in training.
