Chapter 38: Pat Riley wants to trade the power of the week

In the dressing room, the head coach began to sum up the game.

"So far, from both the offensive and defensive ends, the outside play is okay, but the inside play is not satisfactory, especially the low post defense, and we have to find a way to improve it."

After saying a few words, Daley suddenly said to Rodman: "Dennis, you have to be mentally prepared to play power forward. ”

He can't stand Ulrich playing power forward now, not tough enough, when Ranbir was there, the Pistons' basket was the most deterrent in the league, but now anyone can kill it, and the Pistons' basket has become a street girl who can do whatever she wants.

"Power forward?"

Rodman pleases that he prefers this position because he is closer to the basket and can grab more rebounds by playing this position.

Zhou Quan thinks Daley's idea is good, although Ulrich is 206 cm tall, he is actually a dunk, better at the position of small forward, and he does not have Rodman's defensive ability, he plays power forward, and the Pistons' interior line has lost a lot of defensive energy.

Rodman doesn't look at his height, and his tonnage is not big, but his defense is really good, and his top defense ability is very strong, and the center can also carry it, and he plays the power forward position, which should be more suitable than Ulrich.

……

"Mike, excuse me, I want some information about Mark Jackson."

On the morning of the 21st, the team did not train, but Zhou Quan came to the headquarters and found the database administrator to get some information.

"Okay, Iron Fist, I'll get it for you right away."

Administrator Mike immediately began to work, and after ten minutes, he found out what Zhou Quan wanted from the piles of materials.

"Is there a video of his game? I'm talking about clipping. Zhou Quan asked again after taking it.

"This one doesn't."

Mike shook his head and said: "Mark Jackson is not a famous star, of course his strength is good, but Isiah can easily beat him, so he has not edited his video." ”

Zhou Quan is embarrassed, Thomas can easily beat the person, he has to be cautious, this is the gap between him and the smiling assassin now!

Back at home, he pored over Mark Jackson's materials.

This is a black point guard, 82 kilograms, 3 centimeters shorter than him, physical fitness is very ordinary, not excellent at all, the 18th pick in the first round in 87, one place lower than him, not famous, but he is a very good point guard, 11.3 points, 8.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.6 turnovers last season.

An assist-to-turnover ratio of 3 is the standard of excellence, and a 2 is a qualified point guard, and Mark Jackson has achieved 3.3, which is the embodiment of an absolute first-class point guard in terms of passing stability.

"Back-spanking?"

He saw in the profile one of Mark Jackson's offensive skills, the same ass magic as Barkley, using a naturally big ass and strong underhand power to back the defender, even against the second and third players, it is often quite effective.

It was only this season that Mark Jackson became a regular weapon, and in previous seasons he had played in a streetball style.

"This guy can use a backfight as a regular weapon, and I certainly can."

He himself is relatively good at back fighting, but his ass is not big, and he mainly uses tonnage and strength to crush opponents.

"It looks like I'm going to have to work on my back-hitting technique and make it my signature technique." He made up his mind.

However, he also knows that the current strength in the lower game is not enough, and he must first carry out strength training to make the lower game more stable before he can strengthen the training of back fighting techniques.

Sent away the supersonic and ushered in the Knicks.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Knicks arrived in Detroit.

Both are defeated by the Bulls in the playoffs, and the Knicks and Pistons can be said to be in the same disease, but now they are going to kill each other.

The head coach of the Knicks is Pat Riley, who led Magic Johnson to play a generation of famous coaches in the show time era.

After leaving the Los Angeles Lakers in '90, he took a year off and joined the Knicks this year.

After settling in, he picked up the Pistons materials that assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy had prepared for him and began to flip through them.

For pistons, of course, he knows a lot about it.

In the 89 Finals, the Lakers he led were swept by the Bad Boy Army, which was not only a humiliating defeat, but also the Lakers had won two consecutive championships before, and that sweep made him and Magic Johnson's Lakers lose the opportunity to establish a three-in-a-row championship dynasty.

If he can win that championship, whether it is him or Magic, his historical status will definitely skyrocket, and he is extremely impressed by that series.

He didn't need to read the other information, he directly turned to Zhou Quan's information.

Mark Jackson was good, the previous head coach didn't like it, so he abandoned it for two years, but as soon as he took over, he restarted and did well.

However, after using it for a while, he found that Mark Jackson was not a good fit for his lineup tactics and wanted to switch to a point guard.

How to put it, it's not that Mark Jackson is not good enough, but that he is too simple and not flashy enough.

This is actually his own problem, not the problem of the turtle immortal, he is used to the magnificence of Magic Johnson, used to the magnificence of show time, so now he is not used to the simplicity of Mark Jackson.

"The Lakers should have chosen Iron Fist, and both Jerry West and Mr. Buss made a bad decision." Looking at Zhou Quan's information, he shook his head.

In just six games, Zhou Quan showed his strength and potential to the league, and the Pistons selected him with the No. 17 pick, which was definitely a big bargain, and now it seems that Zhou Quan deserves a first-round top-five, or even top-three lottery.

The ball intelligence is very good, the defense is first-class, the offensive potential is to be explored, and the physical potential is to be explored.

The most important organizational skills as a point guard are excellent, have a big picture, excellent leadership ability, and are good at attacking offense, the passing ability in the crowd is very good, the vision is good, the observation ability is super strong, and the ability to break through with the ball is strong, and Jordan can't stop it.

If Iron Fist has the finishing ability of the Smiling Assassin, combined with his breakthrough ability, the offensive ability will definitely skyrocket.

Especially in the last two games, he has made several scalpel passes and has a good ability to take chances.

Also, although Zhou Quan's passing style is not as flashy as that of the magician, it is not bad, fast and accurate, as if the guidance is installed, and he can often pass some incredible balls.

The only deficiency as a point guard is that he is not good at the observation ability behind him, that is, the foresight is not enough, and when he breaks in, it is easy to ignore the running position of his teammates behind him, so there are few back passes and passes, mainly frontal passes.

"It's a pity!"

He wanted to trade Zhou Quan, but earlier he had his eye on power forward Charles Smith, Smith played 20 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2 blocks in the Clippers last season, and the two could only trade one of them.

Even, to trade Smith, he has to catch up with Mark Jackson, which has been planned and will take place at the end of the season.
