Chapter 375 Three Hundred Seventy Two Hardworking People
D'Antoni is obviously a little puzzled by Leon's words. People often say that two star players work together. If the chemical reaction is good, 1+1 is greater than 2, and if the cooperation is not good, 1+1 is less than 2. Judging from the cooperation between Nash and Stadameier in the past few years, it is obvious that 1+1 is greater than 2. Nash won the regular season MVP and ranked among the league's superstars. And Stoudemire also soared in points, successfully becoming the league's first-class star.
But what does Leon mean by 1-1? D'Antoni didn't have time to ask, the game on the field continued, he just thought, does Leon want Nash and Stadamel to reduce the cooperation between each other, it is not worth the loss. The two were in the Mavericks and the Sun in the past, and they did not achieve what they achieved when the sun cooperated. If they give up the two-person rotation, does the sun's powerful foundation still exist?
But D'Antoni didn't ask too much, because when Turiaf and Jaskovicius came on the field, the Suns' field performance was gradually picking up. Nash's offense is quite resolute. He feels good today, hitting long-range shots continuously from the outside. Jaskovicius has a keen awareness of conducting the ball in a positional battle, and he feeds Stadamel very comfortable.
Although there is no way like Nash, the ball can be directly attacked, but they all gave Stadamel a better chance to start and singles, and the ball passed to the point. In this way, the Suns’ offense seems to be split into two parts. On the one hand, Nash plays by himself, and on the other hand, other people are cooperating with Stadamel’s offense. An independent scorer.
After nearly half of the second quarter, the Suns gradually opened the score, and when Nash rested, Marion played again. Before playing, Leon told Marion to do more of what he was good at, and told him that the task of 10 rebounds had not yet been completed.
For Marion, grabbing ten rebounds in a game is really easy, letting him shoot three-pointers, he can’t do it, long arms are too much trouble, but let him grab rebounds, this monkey-like wingspan can help. . Not to mention that Marion is only 201 in height, but his neck is short. If he stands tall, he can reach the level of 208 players.
Because of this, Leon hopes that he can take on more defensive tasks in the forward position and make up for Stadamel's innate shortcomings. When Nash was on the court, he often had the opportunity to steal a layup. Nash went off the court and let him take the ball to do him by himself, so he started to do the dirty work honestly.
Nash sat next to Leon and asked: "I have scored 14 points, and I scored 16 points in the second half, and I'll finish the task. But today I had 2 assists in the first half. I'm really not used to it."
Leon said: "You are very good, let every player around you play 120% of the value, their data has skyrocketed, their worth has doubled. However, their level has not actually risen, they are still that strength. And because of the increase in scoring, it may even cover up what they originally have, or a more suitable style of play. Moreover, when you are away, other people must learn to attack and solve problems on the court."
Leon's remarks pointed to the core of the sun problem in the past two years-the team was activated because of Nash's existence, but also because of Nash's existence, they lost the ability to solve problems on the court. Once Nash is off, the Suns' offense often stagnates, and in the playoffs, even if Nash is not on the court, when Nash is in trouble, it is difficult for others to make critical help.
This is the main reason why the Suns have successively lost to the Spurs and Mavericks in recent years. Apart from Nash, there is no player who can solve the problem independently. Stoudemire may have such potential, but it seems that he still lacks such exercise. So many people think that once Stadamel leaves Nash, he is nothing. But Leon didn't think so.
……………………
At the end of the first half of the game, the Suns were bumpy. Generally speaking, they are under the guidance of Leon to force a change of style. Everyone is very uncomfortable. After all, the game is one thing, and the trainer is one thing. It is really difficult and dangerous for the Suns to give up on the success of the past. Once the new season begins, the Suns can't use a new style of play to quickly achieve results, then criticism will definitely come.
However, Leon seemed to be quite satisfied with the players’ performance, especially Stadameier. Without the pick-and-roll cooperation with Nash, Stadameier used his outstanding CIC skills and He scored with a strong face-to-basket basket, and it seems that he has gone up again this summer.
There is also Jaskovicius. The offensive style of the Suns suits his appetite. He is really uncomfortable with the defensive style of the Eastern Conference, while the Warriors' offensive style of play He also can't keep up, only the fast human ball interaction like the Sun is what he expected.
But what was worrying in the first half was that the Suns' offense was good, but the defense was still bad, or even worse, because they had three colanders in the backcourt, Nash, Barea and Jakovicius, three of them. Anyone on the court will become a defensive loophole, and sometimes there will be two people on the court, which is simply the meaning of exhausting Marion.
Marion finally knew why Leon had to tell himself to do more of what he was good at. That was because there were too many leaks on the outside line, and he had to wave his long arms to stop the leaks everywhere.
In the locker room, Leon looked at the technical statistics table and asked: "Who else has not completed the task? Let me see, Lagabere, your breakthrough, do you only throw three-pointers in the bottom corner now? And Boris Dior, you don’t have any shots, I don’t think you’re too fat to jump, right? "At present, the two Celtics old generals, Bell and Dior, have not completed the characters set by Leon. For Bell, he has become accustomed to shooting three-pointers under Nash's feeding, and then helping him defensively by Nash's buttocks, allowing him to break through with the ball... There is Artest on the opposite side.
As for Dior, he felt that the task that Leon gave him was too difficult. Blocks are really not something that can be brushed if they want to. Some centers known for blocking shots may not be able to block three in a game, not to mention that he is a forward. The height of the player. Dior complained: "Three blocks are really hard, unless I don't take every shot seriously, just wait to brush the blocks."
Leon glared at Dior and said, "Do you mean you were serious about defending before?" Now Dior stopped talking. He had always been unable to work the defensive end and asked him to rush on the inside. Not happy.
"If you can't achieve the goal, stay to practice in the arena tonight, I will always be with you." Leon reminded Dior. Now Dior has nothing to say. If you change to another coach, Dior will definitely kill him. Anyway, he is playing for the team with the team's salary. He can completely refuse the extra training. But Leon is different, Leon can be regarded as a guide for him to enter the NBA, and Dior still fears Leon in his heart, not to mention, just the pair of fists...
……………………
After the start of the second half, the Suns really changed their play style. Nash is a very smart player. He can learn any play style quickly. He quickly understood Leon's intentions. Attacking first does not mean not passing the ball, but giving some organization and coordinating tasks to other players, or allowing other players to complete the offense by themselves, such as letting Bell go to hit the basketball with the ball~EbookFREE.me~ He still Have this ability.
Or leave it to Stadameier to eat the noodle basket, don’t always wait until the game can’t start, or you must complete a block and split the ball and then let Stadameier go to the hard fight, he can completely solve it alone. problem. Under such circumstances, Nash found that he could play more easily, without having to wait for an emergency to score points, and just shoot and score when he has a chance.
Nash wanted to drive, but others had to adapt. Fortunately, Jaskovicius had a way of organizing this half-court position. As long as he was on the court, the Suns' offense would not be chaotic. The two sides just came and went, slowly the Suns still took the advantage, and finally defeated the Kings by 115:107, 8 points, and won the first preseason victory.
In the final moments of the game, Nash won a free throw opportunity, two free throws, when he scored 28 points, as long as two free throws, you can get 30 points. Nash, who made more than 90% of his free throws on weekdays, made two free throws and only scored 29 points. He did not complete the task assigned by Leon.
So after the game, Nash approached Leon and said: "I didn't complete the task, let's practice at night." Of course, Dior was the same as him who did not complete the task, but he was unwilling.
