Chapter 163: Reid's new technology

? The Boston Celtics got into some small troubles in the new year. The first is the inevitable injury problem in the league. The team’s main power forward Antoine Walker missed the team’s trip to Texas because of a knee injury. This also caused the Celtics to suffer in Dallas and San Antonio. A miserable failure. Walker has a slight decline in data this season, but his role in the team is still very important, especially his support skills have been developed by Leon, and the number of assists has increased significantly.
Leon had to get PJ-Brown to the power forward position in several games, and then let Dalembert be the starting center. Although Brown has a very good mid-range, his lack of coping and autonomous offense has caused the team's offensive load to be completely pressured on the outside. In the battle against the Mavericks, the Celtics, who lacked an inside attack, were defeated in the fierce revenge flame of the Dallas. In the SBC Center, Brown can't stop the Spurs Twin Towers alone, and Dalembert is still too immature.
Leon made a bold change in the third game against the Rockets in Texas. He no longer sent Dalem Porter, a boy who lacks attacking power, but sent his surprise soldier, Wang Zhizhi, to make Wang Zhizhi start a pair. One-on-one Rockets' top pick, the "little giant" Yao Ming who attracted the attention of fans all over the world. This is a very risky move. Although many people know that Wang Zhizhi has always had the upper hand against Yao Ming in the CBA, Yao Ming in the 2002-2003 season is no longer the Yao Ming in China. In his NBA debut, he was questioned from the beginning, 0 points in the first game, and later let Charles Barkley kiss the of the donkey, once had the upper hand in the confrontation with O'Neal, and so on. Let people see the strength of this Chinese genius.
On the contrary, Wang Zhizhi, the first Chinese player to come to the NBA, can only sit on the bench with the Celtics. Although Leon also gave Wang Zhizhi some opportunities, Wang Zhizhi also has a glorious moment, but after all, he cannot be compared with the top pick Yao Ming. Leon took advantage of this before the game, he used words to inspire Wang Zhizhi's fighting spirit. Then he made clever tactical arrangements, taking advantage of Wang Zhizhi's good footwork and long range, plus the confidence he built against Yao Ming in the CBA, and finally played the best battle of his career on the night of January 13th at the Compaq Center in Houston. 3 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 5 two-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws and 19 points, plus 3 rebounds and 2 assists, surpassing Yao Ming’s 10 points and 5 rebounds to help Celtic In the absence of a general, the away team retreated.
After returning to Boston. Because of this victory, Leon’s suggestion to sign Wang Zhizhi in the summer was well received by the Boston media, but the bad injury problem did not get better as the team returned to their hometown. Instead, they played against the Eagles at home on January 15. During the game, Michael Reid suffered a slight contusion on his right thumb. After a team doctor's examination, he was advised to take care of himself, observe and treat for a period of time before considering returning to the game. Fortunately, in this game, the Celtics relied on Arenas and Pierce's double guns to play, and with a strong defense, they still won the game 96:87 and achieved two consecutive victories.
……………………
On the morning of January 16. One day off for the Celtics, Leon wakes up in the morning and makes himself a cup of coffee. Recently, he feels a little lack of sleep. On the one hand, the team's continuous injuries tormented his brain cells, on the other hand, Khomeinis, who was slowly idled in the paper, began to make Leon unable to relax at night. Fortunately, Leon’s physical foundation is very good, but he can still carry it. Since becoming the head coach, Leon has also felt that his desires in all aspects are declining. The position of NBA head coach is indeed one of the most stressful positions. .
After drinking the coffee, Leon felt that his originally chaotic mind was a little clearer, and the flow of the day's affairs appeared in his mind. The training of the team. A series of contents such as video analysis, pre-match preparation and so on. Leon may be one of the coaches with the largest workload in the league. Many coaches will hand over some of the planning and arrangements to their assistant coaches to complete, but Leon is not like that.
It's not because Leon is a butler coach who likes to grab his eyebrows and beards. It's that he thinks he is good at planning and planning, and he is very efficient. In that case, why should he let the assistant coach do these things? The time saved by the assistant coach can do more meaningful work, such as Cowens’ basic technical guidance, Siegfried’s focus on shooting training, and Hart’s full study of the team’s defense. And Hess is working on the team's new physical training plan. In order to let these assistants concentrate on their job, Leon is willing to do some chores as the head coach.
Owner Paljuka once suggested that Leon recruit an assistant coach to be his own affairs assistant, but Leon refused, and Angie also disagreed. Angie disagrees because he thinks the Celtics have a lot of assistant coaches, and if Leon is so capable, he should work harder. The reason why Leon refused was because he always had an assistant coach position in his heart for Rick Carlisle.
Leon took Khomeinis and was still sleeping on the bed and went out quietly. After all, he had kissed goodbye by the bed before leaving, but it was delayed for another twenty minutes, so Leon chose to be quiet. Leave quietly.
After arriving at the training hall, Leon saw Michael Reid. He just missed the game with a contusion on his right hand yesterday. After a team doctor's examination, he thought he should be trained for a week, but he still came to the training hall. Leon watched his holding a ball of gauze and was practicing shooting. Fortunately, the right hand is not his shooting hand, but it still affects the lift of the shot.
"How do your hands feel, Michael, you still have to pay attention to rest, and don't affect the future because of one or two days of training." Leon asked with concern. This season, Reid is already an important piece of the Celtics' perimeter. Leon attaches great importance to the cultivation of his personal ability. The shooting coach Siegfried invited is sometimes called Reid’s personal coach. As the Celtics No. 20, he puts the most energy on Reid.
"Sig also let me seize the opportunity to practice more defensive steps, but I think shooting must be practiced every day, otherwise the feeling will get worse, unless my left hand is broken." Reid said to Leon, and then took another shot. In the middle distance, the ball is hollow into the net. Reid's shooting speed is getting faster and faster, his posture is getting more and more strange, but his shooting percentage is getting better and better. Leon can see that Reid's shot is casual and relaxed, his arm muscles are well controlled, and Leon knows that the ball is going to be scored the moment the ball goes out.
"Maybe you should consider changing your shooting posture to be more beautiful, otherwise there won't be too many fans who like you... Shooting shots like an excavator..." Leon can only complain about Reid's shots. The posture is getting worse and worse.
"It's no use to look good~EbookFREE.me~ Being able to enter is the last word!" Siegfried, who had changed his clothes, walked from the side, and he heard Leon's words and responded loudly. Leon smiled and didn't say anything. For older seniors like Siegfried, it's better not to tell them any humor. Anyway, if Reed's training is handed over to him, Leon is completely relieved.
Because of Reid’s injury, Reid did not participate in the group training during the day. Instead, Siegfried took time to do a separate shooting practice by Siegfried. Leon organizes the whole team to practice, and sees what Reid is practicing from time to time. Sometimes he finds that Siegfried, an old man, is quite thoughtful. He deserves to be a person who has trained criminals in the correction center. He is very easy to learn and full of energy. He has come up with a lot of ideas in shooting practice. Kind of tricks for training. Moreover, his training method is not based on his own head covering, but is supported by data. He does not know how to use a computer, and he specifically asked Leon to help him do statistics and print them out on A4 paper, and formulate shooting training methods based on the guidance of these data. .
This time Leon found that Siegfried was carrying Reed again for a very strange exercise. He first let Reed perform continuous vertical jump training in place, and then let Reed stand still and perform only the upper limbs. Shooting practice. Leon was a little wondering why Reid did not have a leg injury.
When asked about Siegfried, the old guy smiled and said, "This is a new technology!" (To be continued.)
