Brad Stevens.
This 34-year-old became the head coach of an NBA-level team, a multi-millionaire, and a super cute daughter, a man who reached the pinnacle of his life overnight.
His success is not unreasonable.
As a young coach, Stevens is very good at studying the players under his seat, their abilities, the most suitable play style, shortcomings and advantages, Stevens knows very well in his mind.
The 76ers' lineup last season really made Stevens wonder what to say. It's actually pretty good, but I don't know why, it actually played such a terrible record.
Coach Jordan last season must be a big pit!
However, for the current group of people, Stevens actually understands that it is not something that can be done in a short time to get results.
Han Miao is still too young. Although as a point guard, he has a genius level of passing and control ability, an enchanting overall view and passing awareness, but other personal abilities are still relatively immature, whether he can lead the team to victory in adversity , This is currently unknown.
Although Hayward is his lover, he has a tough style and comprehensive skills, but he has a lot of problems. At least at this level in the NBA, his confrontation is not good, and the finishing ability needs to be more stable.
The tall, thin, tall Whiteside is in good health. He has long arms that bounces well and is very fast even among big men. He is a defensive master who is well trained.
But the problem is that this guy is too active now, and sometimes misses people specifically to block shots. If this problem is not changed, I really dare not put him in the main position easily.
As for the former 76ers boss Iguodala, sorry, in Stevens's eyes, he is really not the boss. In the past few years, he was the boss because the 76ers were really no one and forced to take the position.
In the eyes of Stevens, Iguodala is the kind of defensive general with a certain offensive ability. His body has clear muscles and brings an excellent body that can defend from the 3rd to the 1st position, plus it is very good. The defensive skills, therefore, Stevens's positioning for Iguodala in the new season is to defend the gate from the outside.
And Brand... Forget it, for the sake of his age, I won’t complain (Brand’s 79 years old is 3 years younger than the marshal). When he was young, Brand was also 20. +10 ruthless man, but with the increase of age and injuries, his condition is not as good as every day.
Last season, Coach Jordan did not reuse Brand because of his injury history, which resulted in poor Brand data.
However, Stevens believes that if Brand is serious about playing without injury, there is no problem averaging 15+8 per game.
Well, Han Miao said that the coach is really good, because in the history of the 2010-2011 season, Brand started 81 games and averaged 15.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, which happened to be 15+8!
Moreover, Han Miao knows that this guy Brand is even more powerful. In 2018, he actually became the general manager of the 76ers...
"Well, everyone will come and gather!"
Stevens assembled everyone, and then began to tell them his thoughts.
In view of the young characteristics of this team, after thinking about it for a long time at home, he decided to use a very classic tactic as the main game in the new season.
This tactic is one of the greatest coaches in history. Cardinal Auerbach created the basic tactic for the Celtics' eight consecutive championships-the Boston Fast Break!
The Celtics under Auerbach back then hit the league with a fast attack, first using Russell’s block as the first shot at the opponent, and then the ball would fall into the hands of the eighth assist king Cousy. Cousy used his posture and dribbling skills that everyone envied, avoiding the claws of his opponents stealing again and again, and then accurately delivering them to the hands of the team's attackers!
Heinsohn, who carries all the forwards in the league, Sharman the marksman, Sam Jones, who is good at board shooting, Ramsey who is never soft...the Celtics' offensive players, led by Cousy Become a wolf pack! Bite a piece of meat from the opponent again and again!
It is this tactic that made the Celtics the number one giant in the league!
Stevens doesn’t know why. He always feels that this tactic has a lot to do with him. Therefore, after studying the current state of the team, he decisively uses the Boston fast break as the main tactic of the season.
This is why he wants to put Whiteside on the starting center.
Back then, Russell, who was tall, dark, and strong like a mountain, turned himself into the strongest city wall, blocking the opponent's attack time and time again with blocks.
Stevens did not expect Whiteside to reach the height of Russell, but he was taller, longer arm length, and liked Whiteside who blocked shots and rebounds. It is indeed the same as Russell back then. It's a bit like, although Whiteside is still a bit thinner now, Stevens hopes that Whiteside can grow into the team's strongest defensive personnel and the most solid backing through one or two permutation efforts!
As for Han Miao, there is no doubt that he will be the commander of the team, playing the role of Cousy, but Stevens hopes that Han Miao can do better than Cousy. At least in terms of scoring, he wants Han Miao to score. Assists with both hands.
Hayward, on the other hand, is working hard in the direction of Heinsohn (although Heinsohn was a power forward). There are many outstanding small forwards in the league. Stevens also knows that no matter how hard you work in this life, Hayward Germany is unlikely to become the league's first small forward.
However, as long as Hayward can turn himself into anyone who can carry the position of a small forward and will not suffer a big loss to anyone, then that is fine. If he can't be the TOP1 of the small forward, the TOP5 is always OK. Right?
And Iguodala, Brand, Korver and others also have their own tasks. Iguodala is the core of the perimeter defense, and Korver is the marksman. In Stevens’s imagination, the future 76 Human offense is like this:
The opponent broke through to the inside, and then Whiteside covered the opponent's shot with his long arm covering the sky. Then, Han Miao took the ball and quickly rushed in, Hayward, Iguodala, Kovo Er and others were crazy to cover up, using precise shots/layups/dunks to score points on their opponents again and again!
Iron and blood defense! Rush for rebounds! Hit the ball and the key ball!
Maybe, this style of play is not gorgeous, but it can release the abilities of this group of young people most effectively!
Don't be gorgeous, gentle, romantic, etc. Coach Stevens prefers that simple, precise, and meticulous style. All sacrifices are only for the victory of the team!
All the 76ers listened to the words of the new coach, and everyone felt a sense of enthusiasm.
I have to say that the young marshal has his unique charm in language expression!
"Replicate and improve the Boston fast break of the year, marshal, it seems that it is not unreasonable for you to become the coach of the Green Army in the previous life!"
Han Miao also ignited. Just now the marshal said that he was positioned as an offensively strengthened Cousy. This really made Han Miao very grateful. You must know that Cousy’s record was not broken by any point guard until Stockton appeared. , And after so many years, only one Stockton broke his record.
It is an honor for Han Miao to pay tribute to this kind of senior.
Hayward is also full of fighting spirit and can carry all the small forwards? This is indeed a big challenge, James, Durant, Anthony, Hayward want to get ahead, he must kill one of these three people!
And Whiteside, he is under the most pressure, Russell! That's the strongest defensive center! One of the greatest centers, Whiteside may be hundreds of blocks away from him now...
"Come on, group by list, let's try the next tactics!"
