On the first day of training camp, Larry Brown was preparing for a physical test.

For such an old-fashioned coach, if he does not know the status of his players, it is undoubtedly a very incompetent performance.

Then he was stunned by Jiang Dalin's talent...

He has seen countless geniuses, but in terms of physical talent, Jiang Dalin surpasses everyone.

He was so incredible that Larry Brown looked at his physical test chart and couldn't help but muttered: "What a good defensive prospect!"

He believes that he will have the best defensive team since he started practicing!

Even more than the 76ers in 2001!

The Wizards with Jiang Dalin as their defensive core can definitely do it...win the championship with defense!

The first championship trophy of his career is coming!

He is also about to prove that I am not just qualified, my coaching philosophy can win the championship!

He also specifically chatted with Jiang Dalin: "Man, you are really great, let us win the championship together!"

Jiang Dalin does not deny that he is great, but...

Isn’t this thing like a championship given to you as soon as you enter the league?

Do I look like someone who is in need of a championship?

He didn't speak, he just looked at Larry Brown, and what he wanted to say was all reflected in his expression.

After all, Larry Brown is so old and can understand the meaning of Jiang Dalin's expression.

He immediately said seriously: "Only when we win three consecutive championships can we truly establish a dynasty!"

It means that you are very good, but you are still far from good. Don't be so proud.

This is how the older generation of head coaches taught.

In addition, Larry Brown is an NCAA head coach. In his view, for those players who disobey him or are proud and complacent, they must severely attack their self-confidence so that they dare not be self-righteous.

Of course, if Larry Brown has always adhered to this principle, Jiang Dalin would still admire him, but the problem is that he compromised when facing Allen Iverson.

He was given unlimited fire rights, turned a blind eye to things he didn't train for, and used other people's defense to make up for Allen Iverson's aggressiveness on the defensive end. At this time, his principles were completely gone.

…

In the final analysis, such a head coach is nothing more than a paranoid man.

He nodded immediately: "Coach Larry knows so much about the dynasty, he should have won more championships, right?"

"..."

One sentence directly made Larry Brown's face turn the color of pig liver.

He has a lot of experience.

"The championship is only the final result. There are many roads leading to this result, and I know how to go. This is the confidence that my experience has given me. I believe that I have prepared the most suitable road for you."

Larry Brown has a tough attitude, very tough attitude.

"Man, you're off to a great start, but you also need to know..."

But he stopped abruptly when he finished speaking and looked blankly at Jiang Dalin in front of him.

He raised his hand, and there was a ring on his thick finger. It was...a championship ring.

Shiny and attractive.

It also left Larry Brown speechless. At the same time, there was a bit of longing in his eyes...

It's not just players who crave championship rings, head coaches do too.

This is especially true for a head coach like Larry Brown who has no qualifications and no championship.

"Coach Larry, look, the road to the championship is in my hands, isn't it?"

Jiang Dalin could see the desire in his eyes, and the words he spat out next were even more "shrimp and pig-hearted".

Larry Brown's expression became more and more ugly. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word. Jiang Dalin didn't put down his hand, and the championship ring was still dangling in his eyes, weighing heavily on him.

Speak up.

"It seems that Coach Larry has been convinced by me, so now, can I ask you about the tactics you have prepared for the Wizards? I am really concerned about whether I can win the championship in the new season. You know, I

But it’s a boast in front of Wizards fans.”

Jiang Dalin was unwilling to let him go and continued to ask about tactics.

This was something Larry Brown didn't tell him when they first met.

Jiang Dalin actually didn't listen to what he said, and he knew roughly Larry Brown's tactics. He only had one set of tactics: defense.

Win championships with defense.

As for other things, he is not good at them and doesn't want to do them.

But Jiang Dalin asked about tactics simply because he wanted to win over him.

He had been wearing this championship ring since the first day of the new season, and it finally came in handy.

But there was one thing that surprised Jiang Dalin. Larry Brown was more flexible than he thought...

This guy actually talked about his vision for the new season.

Just as Jiang Dalin thought, the whole article only contains two words: defense.

"Jiang, you are already the winner of the best defensive player award. I believe we can become the best defensive team in this league."

Larry Brown's eyes were shining as he spoke. He had already seen the media throughout the league praising the defensive intensity he built.

This is also true love for defense.

But in fact, before he came, the Wizards' defense was not bad.

Although the average points allowed per game is not the lowest in the league, it is also one of the five teams with the lowest.

And they also have the largest point differential in the league.

In other words, the Wizards have never been troubled by defense, and Jiang Dalin doesn't know, why is he excited here?

Well, that doesn’t matter either…

The most important thing is...

"Larry Brown, your arrangement on the defensive end is great..."

Jiang Dalin's words made Larry Brown laugh. This was the first time Jiang Dalin praised him. He was also ready to reply, "You are actually very good, otherwise my tactics will not be able to exert its full power." But no

When he spoke, Jiang Dalin spoke again: "Coach Larry, what I want to ask is, how do you plan the offensive end for the new season?"

"..."

Larry Brown once again had nothing to say. How else could he arrange offensive tactics? Of course, give Jiang Dalin unlimited firing rights! Just like he gave Allen Iverson the offensive rights.

This also ensures that he can better achieve the effect he wants to achieve on the defensive end.

Therefore, he said: "I believe you, Jiang, your talent is enough to cope with all problems, I think so, that's what I want to say, man!"

"You have unlimited firing rights on the offensive end and the right to dominate all rounds. This is my trust in you!"

Larry Brown believed that Jiang Dalin would definitely be moved after what he said.

What I didn't expect was...

"So, Coach Larry doesn't trust my defensive ability?"

Larry Brown:…

No, why does this guy always act out of common sense?

At this time, shouldn't we just be moved? Do you think you have met a head coach who appreciates him?

Why does he still have such messy thoughts?

"No, man, it's not that I don't believe in your defensive ability. I just want you to show your defensive ability to the greatest extent, so I arranged a lot of defensive tactics training for you. I believe that you can continue to be the best defender."

Player Award, perhaps becoming the first man in NBA history to win the Defensive Player of the Year award three times in a row."

Yes, you even drew a big pie with me.

Jiang Dalin laughed inwardly and said, "So that's it, Coach Larry really has my best interests at heart!"

Larry Brown finally got through and felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Jiang Dalin's next words came again: "Then I also ask Coach Larry to create a few sets of offensive tactics with me as the core. I want to try this season."

Attack the scoring champion..."

Larry Brown:…

Why can't I get out of this circle?

That's the end of the story.

If Larry Brown refuses, it means that he does not trust Jiang Dalin's defensive ability, but if he agrees...then the training camp will definitely practice offensive tactics, which will greatly shorten the running-in of his defensive tactics.

This kid has already won two championship rings, so why doesn’t he understand the importance of defense in winning championships?

Larry Brown was very anxious, but now his words made Jiang Dalin very careful. Just when he was thinking hard about how to break the game, Jiang Dalin spoke again: "I believe that Coach Larry's ability will never be as good as the outside world said.

He only knows how to defend but doesn't know how to lay out offensive tactics."

"This is definitely impossible. You are the most qualified person in this industry. How can you not arrange offensive tactics?"

"In the new season, the Wizards' style will definitely make others shine, and you will get rid of the label of only coaching the defensive end. If nothing else, the best coach of the new season will definitely belong to you!"

Good guy!

Larry Brown calls him a good guy.

He has always given the cake to the players, and now the players are the cake to him.

But Jiang Dalin's words really made him feel a little bit moved.

After the 76ers lost to the Lakers in 2001, some media were saying that if Larry Brown could fully exploit the offensive abilities of other 76ers players and create enough restraint for Allen Iverson, maybe in the end,

They would win the championship. Even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't lose so miserably!

Larry Brown was very dissatisfied with this. In his opinion, if it weren't for him, the 76ers would never have reached the finals.

Although the rest of the 76ers are not incapable of scoring, if he had paid more attention to the development of the team's offensive tactics, maybe...

Maybe I should consider my offensive tactics!

Um?

wrong!

In just a short moment, Larry Brown suddenly came to his senses.

This guy actually almost broke his "Tao Xin"!

Only defense can win the championship, that's for sure!

No one can overturn this.

The conversation ended on bad terms, but Larry Brown failed to take advantage. Starting the next day, Jiang Dalin shouted to everyone on the team to practice offensive tactics with him.

It's a beautiful name: In the name of captain, I urge everyone to get along as soon as possible.

Needless to say, his prestige in this team goes without saying. Everyone listens to him and is very involved.

Everyone knows that training requires enthusiasm. Once the enthusiasm is up, everyone can work enthusiastically. However, if there is no enthusiasm, the quality of training will be greatly reduced.

And the offensive tactical training is so delicious. Compared with the boring defensive training, everyone is more willing to run in the offensive end.

Therefore, Larry Brown, who lost the opportunity, could only organize offensive training for more than half a month before the training camp.

At this time, he also realized that Jiang Dalin was not a simple player. This guy would not express his dissatisfaction through training and let him take advantage of him.

In Larry Brown's mind, a player more difficult to train than Allen Iverson appeared.

He soon took action, showing the players old movies at every turn, and often mentioned Michael Jordan's words, "We are still one rebound away from the championship."

Even the "God of Basketball" needs defense, let alone them.

Attacking the city is the next step, attacking the heart is the top step.

This grandson really knows the art of war.

However, Jiang Dalin didn't think about it. Whenever Larry Brown wanted to test his defensive effect, he would stand on the opposite side for the reason of "testing the strength of the defensive formation", and then use a powerful basket attack to set him up.

All defensive strategies were defeated.

Let the players have psychological doubts about him, whether this really works.

Isn't it just attacking the heart? Who can't do it?

In such a fraught situation, the "landmine" Arenas planted exploded. He said that his personal training time was taken up too much, and he hoped to reduce the team's defensive training. He also said bluntly: "If I slide, I can win the championship.

If that were the case, then Michael Jackson would have used championship rings to build a house long ago."

Larry Brown was very dissatisfied with this. He had suffered losses in the previous battles with Jiang Dalin, and he was upset. Now you, a guy with no honor, dare to jump in front of me. Arenas was immediately removed from participating in the next offensive tactics drill.

"When will you have a good defensive attitude, will I let you play!"

He also did this to "kill the chicken to show the monkey". If Arenas is not dealt with severely, then why won't there be people confronting him every day?

In this way, the effect is quite obvious. At least when practicing defense, there are a lot less complaints.

To be honest, Larry Brown has abnormal requirements for defense, even the distance of sliding is required...

Do you think Arenas can handle it?

Jiang Dalin made no further moves, but he had his own ways to make Larry Brown suffer.

Amidst the calm, the time came to October.

Although Larry Brown encountered a lot of troubles in the training camp, he was extremely confident when facing the media: "Everyone will see a completely different Wizards team. There is no doubt that even if this

There have been a lot of changes in the team this summer, but I guarantee that this is still a championship-level team!"

"My arrival and what I have brought to this team will be revealed to everyone after the new season arrives!"

Jiang Dalin listened to his bold words and didn't say much. He just told the media: "Let's see what happens next!"
