Chapter 379 (1/2)

ESPN writes forward-looking articles to every team every season, which is the tradition of every season. And their articles are usually highly professional and convincing.

But about the Grizzlies this forward-looking, but caused the Memphis fans great doubt. A team that reached the Western Conference finals last season made such a big change this summer and only got a C + score!?

It's unbelievable!

However, the author of the article, John Hollinger, said, ”my score is absolutely objective and fair without any personal feelings. Maybe Memphis fans think that the Grizzlies' reinforcement this summer will make the Grizzlies go further, but it is likely that their changes will lead to further decline of the team. Igordala may not be suitable for Grizzlies, and Stevens may not be able to play well in the NBA. Nick Young and ezelli? They don't even have to get into a stable rotation! ”

Hollinger didn't mean to regret at all, and he still insisted on his point of view. There is no doubt that this makes Memphis fans even more angry.

But no matter how angry you are, you can't go to someone's house and beat someone up. The only way to do that is to show the strength in the new season.

Nba new season's strong smoke smell, has been in Memphis.

At the same time, on the Grizzlies, the players were angry at the forward-looking article. After all, who wants to be looked down upon?

However, Stevens was glad that the players were not blinded by anger, but turned anger into strength and squandered their sweat in the training hall.

After a week of strict diet control and intensive training, most of the players have recovered their body shape.

A week later, Stevens began to arrange tactical training. People in the outside world are worried that Stevens will completely change the system of the Grizzlies, leading to a serious decline in the Grizzlies.

However, Stevens did not completely abolish Hollins' system, but added some of his own things to the original system.

First of all, Stevens didn't make much change in the starting lineup. The only change was to put igordala in the starting line-up to replace Tony Allen.

Next season, the Grizzlies will start with Conley, igordala, link and the black and white bears. There's going to be a change between the two and Darrell, depending on the position of the two.

The tactical practice went very well because Stevens didn't force people to change their playing habits.

Now, for example, igordala doesn't have to be an attacker, and he doesn't force Conley to score. Link can now concentrate on the attack, because the organization and defense are supported by him.

On the bench, the Grizzlies found that everyone had a chance. Stevens has no prejudice against anyone and is willing to let everyone play.

”Every player has his own value, so everyone has a chance to play.” That's what Stevens said.

Looking down from the office window, grizzly owner Robert Pera is happy with the team's state.

”It seems that Stevens is getting along very well with everyone.”

”Stevens is a good coach and he knows that the best way to win the trust of players is to make them comfortable in the game. From the effect of confrontation training, the team in the defense does not regress, the attack becomes more fluent. And, you know, Stevens is an on-the-spot conductor, very beautiful. His ATO efficiency is very high, which helps a lot in key battles. ” Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace is also very satisfied with the Grizzlies' condition, and believes that his and PELA's efforts this summer will not be in vain.

“ATO？” After listening to Wallace, PELA frowned, a little confused.

”ATO is an abbreviation for the word” after a pause. ”It refers to the coach's ability to help the team achieve key points through the tactical arrangements during the pause. Stevens is a genius in this field. He developed countless excellent tactics at critical moments in his college years. Last season we lost thunder, basically is the key, several rounds did not bite, unfortunately lost. But this year, you won't see that again. ”

”Is it? I hope so. By the way, is the team about to start the preseason? At that time, I'll see how that fellow named Hollinger will end up. ” Young Robert Pera is laughing. He's starting to feel the joy of having an NBA team.
