Chapter 352 New Team 1 Ball
Chapter 352 New Team 1 Ball
The preseason is mainly for running-in, in order to allow NBA players who have been out of battle for a long time to slowly enter the rhythm of the game.
The Cavaliers have had a lot of personnel changes this season, and the pressure of running-in is relatively high, and there are many tasks.Not only are there many rookies, even the head coach is also a rookie in the NBA, so he has to keep learning.
David Blatt is a coach who is good at tuning Princeton's offensive system, but the current Cavaliers do not have the right players to implement this system.And in order to win the championship, James intends to transplant the Heat's familiar and successful "dual-core breakthrough" tactic to this Cavaliers team.
But with the current starting lineup of the Cavaliers, the "dual-core breakthrough" is not completely suitable.Irving plays Wade's role, and Kotobuki plays Bosh's role, but Waiters and Varejao are not shooters, and the ability of these two to open the floor is limited.
Of course Waiters can also shoot, but like Wade, he is used to shooting with the ball by himself, and his ability to catch and jump shots is weak, and fixed-point 3-pointers are not his strong point.
This is not the most important thing. This set of starting talents is actually the top in the league, but it is really hard to describe how well they can cooperate.
Irving and Waiters dislike each other, and the two dissatisfy each other, so basically whoever gets the ball does it.
Both of them have limited ability to control the ball, and their organizational skills are even more difficult to describe.
The worst thing is not on offense. On the defensive end, neither is willing to put in a lot of energy.There is a problem with the defensive position, the pick-and-roll defense is a mess, the off-ball defense is always missing, and the perimeter defense is even worse than the Timberwolves' Kevin Martin and Brewer last season.
Shou Ye has completely become a space-type insider. Owen and Waiters basically don't regard him as a human being, and basically regard him as a blue-collar.
And James' state is also very problematic. He lost his 3-point skill package. Due to back injury and weight loss, his rhythm has problems and his explosive power is not as good as last season.There are already rumors that he is already on the decline. He came to the Cavaliers not to win the championship, but to retire.
Barkley satirized James before, saying that he was a deserter and abandoned his brother.And he didn't let Shou Ye go, he said that Shou Ye was also a deserter, and these two deserters together were a deserter army, and there was no good result.
In this game, Shou Ye played only 20 minutes and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
After the game, Shou Ye saw that James was doing physical therapy so seriously, and thought that at this age, he should need more maintenance.
He didn't feel that James was unhappy or anything. This team is obviously still a long way from the championship.Defense alone is not at the championship level.
Moreover, Owen and Waiters are indeed not suitable for starting at the same time. Both of them have poor defense and need to hold the ball. It is best for one of them to play the sixth man and go to the second team to slash and kill.
But the current situation is obviously impossible. As one of the Big Three, Owen cannot be a substitute.Waiters is proud and arrogant, and he is the No. 4 pick in the first round. He has the nickname "Little Wade". You let him replace him?
If you let him start, he will fight for the ball with Irving, won't he blow up your house as a substitute?
In Shou Ye's previous life, Waiters just couldn't play the role next to the Big Three very well, and was eventually traded.
It seems that the possibility of him being traded this season is still very high. If Irving and Waiters choose one of the two, Cavaliers general manager David Griffin will not choose Waiters as long as he has a normal mind.
It is indeed a headache, and this team has more problems than imagined.
In the Cavaliers locker room, Waiters and Irving basically didn't communicate much.Owen is like a half-immortal, as if he doesn't understand the world at all, and looks like a "sage monk". No wonder he was later called "Ou Shenxian".
A person who can put forward the "flat earth theory" is definitely not an ordinary person.
Irving doesn't seem to like Shou Ye very much. Whether on or off the court, he doesn't think of Shou Ye very much. In his eyes, James is nothing. Except for Kobe, he doesn't seem to be able to see Shou Ye. superior.
Shou Ye is still very important in the Cavaliers locker room.The boss of the team, James, respects him very much and has high hopes for him; former teammates Beaubois, Marion and others also respect him respectfully, and everyone treats him with respect; He was convinced; other young players like TT and Dellavedova did not dare to disrespect him.
Only Owen and Waiters didn't seem to take him seriously.
Of course, there are not many people in the entire alliance who can put their eyes on these two...
It's really been a long time, there are actually two such magic stick knights.
On October 10, the Cavaliers visited Miami for their second preseason game.
The team is still struggling, and Irving and Waiters are still going their own way.
The team coach David Blatt has nothing to do with these two live treasures. He keeps emphasizing the need to work hard to defend, to move the ball, and to play more.
Shou Ye feels that Brandt is a good coach.It is not easy for a coach to succeed in Europe. Although in the NBA, there may be discomfort and dissatisfaction. After all, the NBA places great emphasis on the personal abilities of stars.
But the essence of basketball remains the same. Whether it is FIBA or NBA, defense is very important, and teamwork is also very important.In theory, super defense + team fighting + superstars, this is the strongest team.
The Cavaliers' offense is too simple now, with too many singles, a bit like stragglers, without much cohesion.On the defensive end, it seems that there is no system and method, and there are often situations of watching the ball but not the people.
Brandt frowned. He knew that he would encounter difficulties in the NBA, but who knew it would be such a difficult situation.The leader of the team is very successful, the two big thorns are not easy to discipline, the relationship between the core players in the team is average, the execution of tactics is not in place, and they have been playing talented basketball...
Fortunately, there is Tyronn Lue, the league's first chicken soup assistant coach.
Tyronn Lue is not only good at making chicken soup for the players, but also good at giving the head coach a psychological massage. Under his massage, Blatter can sleep at night and eat deliciously.
It seems that it is reasonable for the team to give Bass such a high salary. This set of chicken soup tactics is really more effective than a tactical manual.
For this Cavaliers, there is no need for complicated tactics at all. The team's lineup structure determines that their core tactics are two-one is the Big Three + Waiters singles, and the other is Jano's sudden points.
Giant singles + sudden points, simple and rude, few mistakes and high upper limit.What is Princeton, what is the triangle offense, what is the passing cut, the requirements for the cooperation and awareness of the players are too high, without a few years of tacit understanding, it is difficult to play.
