Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"We must increase the role of three-pointers in the next games."

The loss to the Magic taught the Pacers so much that even while sitting on the chartered plane, Vogel was thinking about the team's tactical changes.

The Pacers will face the Bulls away from home the next day, and their opponents in back-to-back games are not weak.

If the Heat relied on Granger's fully enhanced version of James to defeat the Pacers, then the Magic relied on Howard's group of shooters to defeat the Pacers.

James surrounded Granger, and the Pacers at least had George and West, so they could carry out a multi-person attack;

As for Howard who cannot defend, the Pacers do not have enough defensive resources. If they want to defeat the Magic, they must seek changes.

"They say that the best team needs to combine both inside and outside. Think about it this way,"

Assistant coach Brian Shaw said next to him,

"We did rely too much on the inside and breakthroughs in offense, but neglected to pay attention to the outside."

Since today's theme is three-pointers, the assistant coaches also spoke freely.

Danbok was responsible for setting up part of the defensive system and immediately said:

"The defense of three-pointers is indeed our shortcoming. I will strengthen this in the future."

Jim Bone shook his head and retorted:

"It's not defense, it's offense. We haven't taken many three-pointers from the outside. We should really increase our production."

"But physical strength is a problem. Not only must we defend the opponent's three-pointers, but we must also increase our three-point shooting. The players' physical strength will be a problem."

Danboktu has a poor view,

"You have to know that our main outsiders are mainly focused on breakthroughs. Changing their offensive mode rashly is likely to affect their performance."

Most of the players who focus on breakthroughs are not accurate enough in shooting. Many people can guess the consequences of suddenly adding a shot that is usually not accurate for players:

High shots and low hits, this is a purely team-toxic style of play. Only the cornerstones selected during the team's rebuilding phase can receive this kind of treatment.

Jim Bone looked at his colleague and knew immediately that he wanted to pass the blame.

This is also inevitable. Although change is a good thing, the pain before the change is completed may not be acceptable to everyone.

Vogel, who was deep in thought, finally made a decision:

"There is no need to increase it suddenly, just do it step by step. The next game against the Bulls can be used as an experiment."

Seeing that Dambok still wanted to speak, Vogel shook his head.

"Anyway, our tactics are mainly based on inside and outside pick-and-rolls. We just let them take action decisively when they are open."

This is within the acceptable range of Danbok. After all, your opponents have let you take three-pointers, so there is no reason not to shoot.

He nodded in agreement and said:

"Our outsiders still dare to take action. I'm just worried that they have fallen into a fixed mindset and have to give it to a specific person."

The eyes of Jim Bone and Brian Shaw who were next to him suddenly opened wide, and they heard the hidden meaning of Dan Bok's words.

To a specific person, who else could it be, Granger!

Is he trying to weaken Granger's position as the core of the offense?

Are you too brave?

Brian Shaw looked at Dan Bock and suddenly felt that he might have underestimated his fellow teaching assistant.

Jim Bone turned to look at Vogel, wanting to know what he would answer.

Vogel took a deep look at Dan Bok before speaking:

"As long as it's for the team's victory, I believe Gretz will understand."

"He has to listen to the coach no matter what."

"Of course."

Danbok nodded quickly and said,

"Our team is all about team victory, so naturally we have to listen to the head coach."

"That's good."

Seeing Dambo's weakness, Vogel nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing the sudden calmness in the atmosphere, Jim Bone didn't know what to say. He thought for a while and fell silent.

The head coach is usually called Danny, but now he calls Granger by his nickname Grizz. Is this to show that the relationship between the two is closer than others think, and to make a point about Danbok?

Brian Xiao glanced at the silent people and made a calculation in his mind.

Also, Vogel must have received Granger's support from being an assistant coach.

And Danbok also accepted it as soon as he felt good, and was done with it after he gave in?

Keenly aware of the intrigues in even a small team, Brian Shaw felt a little tired inexplicably.

Brian Shaw sighed secretly. It was as if he was playing chess with a bad chess player and getting worse as he played. Because he had stayed with the simple rookie for so long, he actually became a little disgusted with the fighting he was used to before.

It's better to focus on cultivating rookies in the future. George Qitian reassured me, and even Stephenson, who always made me angry, didn't have such a thoughtful mind.

With the Pacers players sleeping and the coaching staff in silence, the plane arrived in Chicago.

With the two three consecutive championships created by Jordan when he was with the Bulls, the Bulls suddenly became the team with the most championships in the league after the Celtics and Lakers.

In the 65 years of NBA history, the Bulls have become the team with the third most championships with 6 championships. This is not because the competition between the teams is too fierce, but because the Celtics, who have won 17 championships, and the Lakers, who have won 16 championships.

There are too many championships, and the two teams together account for more than half of the championships in the league's history.

Of course, the team's history has passed, and only the team's spirit can be passed down to this day.

The Bulls rose again under the leadership of Rose. After winning the best record and MVP award in the 2010-11 season, they will continue to be the biggest obstacle to the Heat's championship in the second year.

When the Pacers arrived at the away game, except Qi Tian, ​​they immediately felt some inexplicable feelings.

They were eliminated by the Bulls 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs last season, and their first showdown in the new season was full of revenge.

"This time, we must win!"

Granger encouraged the crowd before entering.

He looked around at his teammates and stretched out his right hand.

Everyone formed a circle, put their right hands together, and then shouted in unison:

"one two three!"

"victory!"

Qi Tian and his teammates came on stage one after another and saw the Bulls' half on the other side.

"That's last year's MVP, Rose."

George licked his lips with some fighting spirit.

Collison can't guard Rose, and new aid Hill is not good at defense, so the heavy responsibility can only be given to George.

Qi Tian glanced at his opponent. Rose was practicing in silence, and the others were also very calm.

He focused his attention on Butler, who was a little reserved. He had a certain resemblance to the God of Basketball, and his thin body made Butler not stand out among the big men around him.

No one could have imagined that Butler, who is still a rookie this year, would be an important cornerstone to support the Bulls after Rose suffered injuries.

"Oh, in comparison, Rose's successive serious injuries are the least expected, right?"

Qi Tian shook his head and concentrated on training to prepare for the next competition.
