The Whip of the God of Basketball

When returning to Boston on January 7, the Celtics scored one win and one loss in two games between New York and Orlando. They defeated New York in Madison Square Garden, but unexpectedly lost to Orlando. Magic. The worst part of the road trip is that the team does not have time to train well, which causes the Celtics to quickly return to the original play in the game-the kind of emphasis on half-court position coordination and full-court defense. The college style of play.

　　 This led to the team's offensive misfire in the Orlando game, and was crushed by the Magic in the first quarter. After that, the team did not turn over for the entire game and was revenge by the Magic. Leon certainly knows that the construction of the team's offensive system will not happen overnight, and it may take a whole season and a summer to see the effect. But now, he urgently needs to solve a small technical problem, which is to deal with the position, running and tactical follow-up of the inside line in the second fast break.

　　 This problem was completely exposed in the game against the San Antonio Spurs on January 9. When Tim Duncan and David Robinson guarded the three-second zone, Leon found that the so-called low support point was no different from the stakes, whether it was Tony Barty, Chris Anderson or Potapenko, In the team's quick counterattack, it can't play a supporting screen role. Except for a symbolic handover and a screen substitution, their role in the offense is completely marginalized.

　　 Tim Duncan's precise positioning on the defensive end and just the right interference, let Leon understand why Auerbach wanted this player so much, and even the price of being willing to return to half of the team. One of the major shortcomings of the second fast break is that it basically gave up the offensive rebound. As a compensation, the second fast break has a high offensive success rate and a relatively easy tactical ending method.

As a result, the Celtics did not play a second fast break under the blockade of the Twin Towers, and also lost the offensive rebounds, which directly caused the team to fall behind by 9 points in the first half-this point difference does not seem to be high. But the game has completely fallen into the Spurs rhythm.

In the second half, Carol and Leon decisively decided to change their play, reducing a shot point from the outside and increasing the offensive rebounds. Chris Anderson and Dennis Rodman took turns to disrupt the game, relying on active fighting And in the third quarter led the Celtics to play a wave of offensive climax, once the point difference was reduced to two points.

Then Tim Duncan appeared. In the fourth quarter, the Spurs relied on his low offense to score consecutive points. The Celtics tried to block Duncan with a wheel fight, but they still couldn't resist Shifo to score 10 points and blocked Kyle with two blocks. Special people's hope of overtaking. 91:88, the Celtics lost the Spurs by 3 points at home, but Leon knew in his heart that the gap between the two teams was not just 3 points.

　　 "The feeling of trying to sprint but still can't run at the opponent's sloppy uniform speed is not good." After the game, a reporter interviewed Leon, and Leon only left this sentence.

Throughout the night, Leon was thinking that if it is difficult to change the current tactical details, there will be no problems with the training method and overall direction. However, this small tactical problem will often trouble Leon, even if his brain is better than others. A hundred times does not mean that he will be free from worries. He now needs someone who can share his troubles and provide advice, and what Carroll said he could discuss with him tactically, arrived in Boston one day later.

　　……………………

　　 On the night of the 10th, Leon received an invitation from Danny Angie to eat lobster at the famous "No Name Restaurant" in the North District. This store has a history of almost a hundred years. The origin of its name is that the first store manager often said to people "No name, come and eat" and it got the name "Anonymous Restaurant".

Because there will be a game on the night of the 11th, the whole team has been training intensively on the 10th. Leon is also a little hungry. After receiving a call from Angie on the way back to Boston, he changed directions and went straight. Unnamed restaurant.

　　 When he arrived at the restaurant, he found that head coach Carroll, assistant coach Hart, and team development and operations director Kenny Carr had all arrived to visit and drank dark beer in a small private room. In addition to these Celtic management people, Leon also noticed a special guest, a handsome white man sitting in the innermost position, wearing a gray woolen shirt and untidy hair.

　　 Leon recognized him at a glance. He is the current head coach of the Detroit Pistons, Rick Carlisle, a former Celtics.

"You come to Leon, sit here! Sitting next to Rick, Dick said you two can discuss tactics until dawn." Danny Angie called Leon to sit down next to Carlisle, which made Leon feel a little strange because Tomorrow, the Celtics will face the Detroit Pistons at home.

"Hello, I've heard of you, Fox-Leon, an amazing man. He has been promoted from scout to assistant coach, the fastest in history." Carlisle raised his glass and said lightly to Leon, then sipped the glass. Drink up the gin.

Carlisle’s words made the scope a little embarrassing. Dick Hart explained to Leon: “Rick’s words are not malicious. He often just states things without emotional preference.” Leon just nodded, he I have long heard that Carlisle is a bad sociable head coach and has always had a bad relationship with players.

Soon Leon could notice that the young Pistons coach is not only straight-forward, but also meticulous. For example, when pouring himself, he always pours the wine on the 1/3 pattern line of the glass, and will Start drinking only after the liquid level is stable, and one drink is a big sip.

　　 Actually, Carlisle is not a person who likes to drink. He just came to Boston, the most important place in his player's career. Faced with a table full of familiar friends, he had to have one drink after another. Needless to say, former teammates and friends like Angie and Carl needless to say, Dick Hart used to assist Larry Bird in Indiana with him, and the two combined attack and defense to help the team reach the finals.

John Carroll and Carlisle have the same experience of working together. They have both been engaged in team management and construction work under Callesimo. The two have a very good personality. Carlisle is straightforward and easy to offend people, while Carol is gentle and never interacts with others. People are evil.

Thinking of the good player time I had spent here, I spent the night with Larry Bird overnight, chewing tobacco with Kenny Carr and almost fainted, experienced a tsunami in the Boston Garden Plaza, and sprayed each other in the parade. Champagne. Of course, there are also the delicious seafood in front of you and the reminiscence between old friends, which made Carlisle's drink after glass, and soon became a little drunk. His drink volume isn't very good. By contrast, Leon doesn't know how many glasses he has filled, and he looks like he's just peeing.

When everyone was drinking, Dick Hart said to Leon: "Rick is the best offensive tactical expert I have ever seen. Perhaps he is not very famous in the eyes of the fans, but in the coaching circle, Rick’s offensive level is Everyone knows it. If you have any questions, you can discuss it with Rick."

Leon watched Carlisle look a little drunk and didn't know how to speak, and tomorrow Carlisle will stand on the opposite bench as the opponent's head coach. Now discuss the Celtics' tactical details and let him leak secrets. a feeling of.

　　 Carlisle drank another glass of gin, which is still quite strong. His face turned red and shiny. Hearing Hart's words, he turned his head to face Leon and said word by word: "I know... you want... a quick attack... and it's a second time. Fast break, UU reading www.uukanshu.com But...but...your formation...a bit strange...not fully opened, it seems...it seems a bit like a triangle position, but..."

　　 When Carlisle said, but he couldn't help feeling a rush in his stomach, and he spit up on the table. It seemed that Carlisle was really drunk. Leon quickly handed Carlisle a piece of paper and poured a glass of water. This group of old guys hadn't been like this for a while, and drank beer like they did when they were young, so not only Carlisle, but everyone was a little drunk.

　　 "Why not go on Rick, go on!" Angie yelled at Carlisle, picking up a bottle.

　　 Carlisle drank some hot water and looked better. He collapsed on the chair, closed his eyes, his expression was a bit painful, and it seemed that his alcoholism would not disappear so quickly. After about a minute, everyone thought Carlisle might be asleep. At this moment, he suddenly said: "Your formation is too flat. A tactical formation that wants to establish a triangle position must be full enough and the frame must be clear. Instead of using a flat stance to distort the opponent’s defense, your 4th or 5th position...you have to...it must be raised, and then you need to cut in...the bottom corner can no longer be transferred in a large range, you don’t need it. All the movements that pull and distort the opponent's defensive formation, squeeze is the fundamental...squeeze...squeeze..."

　　 After speaking, Carlisle vomited under the table again. And Leon looked at Carlisle, who was vomiting in a mess, and decided in his heart that he would try his best to bring him to the Celtics and teach him how to drink.
