Chapter 973 (2/2)
Think about it. A person who has worked as a coach for most of his life on the professional basketball court suddenly finds that all the ideas he has accumulated before are no longer applicable to them. What a shock it is to them.
It is obviously impossible for them to accept this idea at once.
Why did the warriors' five teams succeed? At that time, there were few teams in the league with small lineups. No coach would have thought of getting five players about two meters tall to play.
So in the face of warriors, you either go to the center and run with you until you're killed. Or with the small lineup, but because there is no corresponding configuration and was killed.
No matter how you choose, you lose!But the Grizzlies are different, in link's reminder, the Grizzlies have to have a small lineup configuration. And in the Western Conference finals before, also specially has carried on the closed type training.
Therefore, link docking next game is still full of confidence. And in the case of corresponding preparation, it is easier for Joel and the rest of the Grizzlies to accept the concept of five small lineups.
”In the next game, we also need a small team to compete with the warriors. So the next game, mark and Hassan, you two may have a sharp drop in your playing time Joel gave Gasol and Whiteside the first shot, since determined to play in the small team, it must have Cole's courage.
The players who can't be used for the time being, no matter how excellent they are!
”For the team to win, I have no problem.” Gasol responded cheerfully that although he was the starting center for this year's western all star team, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the team.
Gasol readily agreed, and Whiteside had nothing to say. He nodded in silence, which was also accepted that he might not be able to play in the Western Conference finals.
”Well, thank you for your support and understanding. Before the Western Conference finals, we trained for a long time to deal with this situation. Even, he was fined several times by the League for closed training. I hope our efforts and fines are not in vain. The next game, in Auckland, we'll play a small team! ”
”Harris is in position five, link is in position four. Tony and Jimmy, you're working together to block the flanks. Mike, you continue to control the rhythm. Andre, I need you to lead the second team on the bench. The warriors think that they can beat us with five small lineups, so let's have a good memory of who created this kind of play first
With a big wave of his hand, Joel stopped struggling. He didn't want to ruin the whole situation because of his indecision.
The Grizzlies might not have lost the last game if he had played a little more decisively. Joel won't make the same mistake twice.
While the outside world is still guessing how to deal with the Grizzlies' next game, they have chosen the most extreme way.
Five vs five, all grizzly players know that the next game in Auckland is bound to be a match like Mars hitting the earth.
In the afternoon, everyone's training was very positive. The Grizzlies are on full alert, and even Vince Carter, who is nearly 40, is training very hard.
This ”old flying man” is very clear, if plays five small lineup, his appearance time will increase. It's a Western Conference final, and he doesn't want to be a weak spot.
He doesn't want to miss the Finals again!
Even after the training, link had a bath and was ready to go back, only to find that Carter was still practicing!
When link walked into the training hall in casual clothes, he found Carter practicing three-point shooting in the left corner.
Today, Carter seems to have a preference for the bottom left corner. In training, he made a lot of shots in that position. Now, I still stay here to practice in that position.
”Vince! Don't you go back to rest? ” Link stood by and watched for a long time. Seeing that Carter still didn't mean to stop, he called out to Carter curiously.
”I'm not tired yet. I'll practice a little more.” Carter responded with a smile and continued to shoot in the bottom left corner, with no intention of leaving.
When Carter gets to the basket, he's in charge of the ball.
”In that case, I'll practice with you.”
Link smiles and passes the ball to Carter. He knew that Carter was not acting on impulse.
As a team leader, link is willing to find out why.
