314 Trading Turmoil

Transitional strength training affects bone development, and Sakuragi is well aware of this.

He has been training at the supersonic speed for more than a year, and the professional training on Old Earle's side has also gone through more than a year, and these common senses are things that everyone often mentions in his ears.

Lin Dong wanted to push the door in to stop it, but when he put his hand on the door, he hesitated to take it back.

This guy deliberately chose everyone to come to train secretly after everyone left the stadium, just because he didn't want anyone to disturb him.

With Sakuragi Hanamichi's character, since he knew that it would affect his bone development, he still made such a decision.

Then even if you push the door in and stop it, what about next time? Will he change places? Will he pick another time that is completely staggered from himself?

Just like those who want to commit suicide, those who run to the roof of the building for a long time without jumping may not really want to die, and there may be room for persuasion.

But if you run to the cliff in the deep mountains and jump alone under the banner of tourism...... You've made up your mind, and it's useless for you to fill the foot of that mountain with an air mattress.

Lin Dong shook his head secretly.

It's better to practice in a different place by yourself and not disturb him...... He turned and walked out quietly, but in the hallway behind him, there was the constant sound of Sakuragi Hanamichi pumping in the gym and the sound of tires dragging in the gym.

"One more lap! One more lap! ”

"Don't worry, Haruko, I won't lose to those bastards!"

"I'm a genius! The master brother personally certifies, and the father stamps it by hand, wahahahaha! ”

Lin Dong paused, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

Come on, genius!

And I'm ...... Maybe it's time for me to change my mindset, and scoring isn't the only thing that matters.

The current supersonic and internal problems cannot be solved for the time being, but thanks to the inspiration of Sakuragi's out-of-the-box thinking, he thought of a way that is actually quite suitable for this supersonic team, although it is somewhat advanced......

After all, I don't want to lose anymore!

Lin Dong walked out of the arena and dialed McMillan's phone: "Hey, coach, I have a good idea, do you want to hear it?"

………………

On October 10, the SuperSonics finally won a long-awaited victory at home.

Against the Toronto Raptors, an underdog in the East.

After a number of interior collapses, McMillan also made new adjustments to this supersonic team.

The twin-tower lineup, which originally consisted of Chandler and Wenbeck, was converted into a five-man run-and-gun lineup.

Yes, the bombardment is what Lin Dong called a good idea!

Frankly, McMillan was a little hesitant at first.

The tactics of running and bombing are not difficult to understand, after all, there have been pioneers.

Supersonic speed has the basis of running and shooting, although the interior line is insufficient, but the front guards are the majority, and the overall speed is very fast, and even Iguodala, who is in the first grade, also has an outside line.

Coupled with the three organizers of Lin Dong, Payton, and Brent, it is not too pleasant to start and attack, but under the organization of these three people, everyone else only needs to run first, and the tactical understanding is quite simple and easy to use.

But Don Nelson, the creator of this thing, had already tried it in the Golden State Warriors, and at the same time he was the first in the league in scoring efficiency per game, and also the first in the league in terms of points conceded per game...... After entering the playoffs, because of the excessive physical consumption caused by high-speed conversion, the Golden State Warriors fell at the feet of the supersonic that year, so that the next year Don Nelson left class, no one believed in this offensive thing.

But first, the current supersonic interior line is really not good, anyway, the traditional position under the basket can't be grabbed, it's better to use the speed to mobilize the team as a whole, and use the space that Lin Dong said, the upgraded version of the run and bomb to defend, maybe it can still get a little effect, after all, it won't get worse, right?

Second, the Warriors made the playoffs that year, which was much better than the SuperSonics, who are now in the bottom of the West.

Anyway, there is no other way for the time being...... Try it first?

Thereupon......

Chandler's own speed is not slow in the center, although the skill of the basket is a cut worse than that of the top center, but the ability to eat cakes is okay, and it can fully keep up with the requirements of running and shooting.

The forward line was to bring up Desmond, who was originally sitting on the cold bench, and pressed it to the front position of Wenbeck, and Sakuragi Hanamichi rotated, using the speed of these two to match the overall running and bombing system.

The other three are still made up of Payton, Lindon and Brent, and Iguodala and Earlwaterson, who have the speed and projection ability, have also increased their playing time to cope with the heavy physical exertion of this run-and-gun tactic in the fast pace.

Lin Dong made certain sacrifices in scoring and ball possession.

If you want this set of run-and-bomb tactics to work, the feel of each player is quite important, and at the same time, it is also necessary to save more physical strength for the defensive end, after all, the set of run-and-bomb exchanged between Lin Dong and McMillan is not the one used by Don Nelson in the 91 season, and it is even further than the run-and-bomb when D'Antoni later coached the Suns.

So it's not really about giving up on defending under the basket completely, it's just that unlike traditional positional play, you have to use speed space pulls and various misalignments to deal with the chaos under the basket, which requires everyone to have a matching contribution on the defensive end......

The tactics were only temporarily trained for two days, and although the 10th was only the first time to change formations, the effect was actually quite good.

Lin Dong only scored 29 points on 10-of-14 shooting and 6-of-6 free throws, but he delivered 9 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.

Payton finished with 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, diching out 12 assists, two rebounds and one steal.

Brent finished with 14 points and six assists on 4-of-7 shooting and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line.

The score of the Iron Triangle has come down, but the statistics of his teammates have risen, and 5 people in the team have scored double-doubles.

Chandler finished with 12 points, six rebounds on 5-of-10 shooting and 2-of-4 free throws, and even handed out one assist.

Desmond also scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, along with four rebounds and two assists.

In addition, the rotation of Watson, Iguodala and others also scored, and finally defeated the Raptors 108-92, and the whole team actually delivered 29 assists, ranking first in the number of assists in a single game this season.

The hearty offense was like mercury, killing the Raptors who planned to eat the supersonic interior like everyone else, and finally swept away the evil breath that Seattle fans held in their hearts.

It's a pity that the effect of 'genius training' obviously did not meet the expectations of geniuses.

Coming off the bench for 11 minutes, facing Xiao Si, who is also a rookie, Sakuragi shot 0 of 2 in the game, did not score 1 point, only picked up 2 rebounds, and they were all backcourt rebounds, so while the local media and fans praised almost everyone on the team, he successfully made himself a background board for the whole team.

He was the only one who didn't score......

Only Lin Dong, who has been paying attention to Sakuragi's performance, can see this guy's thoughts and intentions on the field.

I don't know where he got the idea, and he put most of his time and energy on the court to fight and wrestle with his opponent, as if he didn't go up to play, but went up to practice hand-to-hand wrestling...... In the face of the strong Xiao Si, who suffered from both height and weight, he really couldn't take advantage of it, but because of an overly large defensive move, he almost knocked Xiao Si directly to the ground and was blown a malicious foul.

This guy has already practiced his body on the court...... At the end, Sakuragi Hanamichi was full of embarrassment, thinking that the hot-tempered McMillan would scold, but fortunately, the old man was in a good mood when he won the game, and actually encouraged him in turn, saying that the hard work when he played was good, and consuming the opponent's physical strength was also a way to help the team, which made Sakuragi Hanamichi breathe a sigh of relief.

A hearty win can not only boost the enthusiasm of the fans, but also obviously boost the morale and even luck of the team.

And after this one, it seems that the belated good fortune has finally begun to befall the supersonic who have found the right way to play.

Run-and-gun tactics are starting to shine in the hands of the supersonics, and they're so well suited to this.

Young, full of momentum, and spicy, Payton is an absolutely excellent glue with a wealth of experience and passing vision that is enough to string together the entire team.

Lin Dong's speed and pulling ability can often make the defensive formation porous, creating infinite possibilities for the rest of the team.

And then there was a wave of six straight wins from the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Knicks, Hawks and Bulls.

Although Lin Dong's score remained at an average of about 30 per game, the full flowering of his teammates finally made Seattle's ball market gradually get out of the haze of an unfavorable start and become hot again, and also made many people on the Internet who ridiculed Lin Dong's '1 win and 6 losses, selfish and empty cut champions' obediently shut their mouths, at most sourly said 'These games are all weak teams, it doesn't mean anything, wait and see, once you meet a strong team, you will still die' and something like that.

This has also become a new hot topic of hypersound today.

This has long been proven to be a useless tactic, is it really useful to play a strong team?

The unanimous singing of the media and the yin and yang weirdness of all kinds of black fans really made Seattle fans sweat hard for the superSonics.

But whether it is useful or not, at least Lin Dong's previous 3 games of 40+ and 3 games of 50+ horror record have finally come to an end, which also makes many people in the alliance breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they secretly balance their minds a lot.

This guy's scoring ability at the beginning of the game is too exaggerated, if you want to go on like this, this year's scoring champion must not make an average of 40+ per game? Not to mention Jordan, I'm afraid that only the ancient Zhang 20,000 can barely compete with him in terms of scoring ability.

It's okay for an Asian to play in the NBA, and it's not even a big problem for him to win an MVP or even a championship, but to put an Asian's name engraved at the top of a precious record in NBA history...... I really can't bear this.

No matter what is said outside, after winning one after another, the supersonic speed is jubilant up and down, and the only depressed one is probably Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Run-and-Boom...... This thing doesn't really fit him.

Scoring ability or something, a little, but not much.

In addition, he didn't have much time to play, so it was okay for the master brother to hold the ball, and he could take him to pick up one or two empty, but if Payton and them held the ball, the tacit understanding of this empty connection couldn't be connected, not that Peyton and they didn't pass well, but he himself was either half a beat slower or half a beat faster, and he was never on the same channel.

Although he is always desperately defending, he can also be seen to be more confrontational.

When the whole team is immersed in the fluidity and thrill of the attack, the presence of Sakuragi Hanamichi seems a little out of place.

After six games, only 3 points were scored, 1 4-point, 2 2-pointed, and the other 3 were not scored, and they completely became the target of ridicule from trolls who always stared at the supersonic speed and wanted to pick a thorn.

Fortunately, this guy never reads the newspaper or the Internet, and if McMillan and Payton scold, he will laugh and laugh, and secretly practice hard in the gym, in addition to training strength, the daily projection has also begun to put a lot of training on the training schedule.

It's the same as when he always eats pig's trotter beef during this time, what is lacking to make up.

And in view of the initial success of the run-and-bomb, the supersonic reinforcement deal was finally decided under Bob's operation.

Bench forward from the Memphis Grizzlies and a rookie with the 9th pick in the first round last year, Sean Battier.

In terms of data alone, except for Payton and Lindon, the SuperSonics are not eligible to replace Battier alone, although he is only a sophomore, but Battier has averaged 14 points per game, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in the Grizzlies last year.

The Grizzlies are actually reluctant, after all, they have been training for a year, but Paul Gasol, who should have belonged to them in history, was selected by the Bulls, so that the Grizzlies, who are now in dire need of interior lines, are eager to strengthen the team's center lineup, which prompted the formation of this transaction.

It's just that the conditions are stuck to death, in addition to the former All-Star level Vin Baker is the main target, plus a second-round pick next year, and a power forward or center player...... Old players or new players can be, the former is plug and play, and the latter has the right to be an extra guaranteed investment, and you can't just take Battier to exchange for Wenbeck, whose potential has been tapped, although the data of the two is not much different, but it is too much of a loss.

And now there are only three people who meet this 'additional condition' for supersounds.

Either Pedrag Drobiak, the team's main center last year, or the two rookies that the SuperSonics are developing, Vladimir and Hanamichi Sakuragi.

Choose one of three!

For Bob, it may just be a matter of comparing the numbers and doing what he used to do best as an analyst.

But for the three people who were at the center of the trading turmoil, it was far more than just a cold, trading statement.

This has reached the point where it is enough to decide their fate......
