Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

After Lian Feng said these words, Adelman was stunned.

To be honest, he had never considered the option of Lian Feng at all. After being stunned for a moment, Adelman shook his head: "Don't be kidding..."

Lian Feng said seriously: "Coach, I'm not joking with you... Do you think there is anyone else in the team who can withstand other centers?"

Adelman opened his mouth, but was unable to refute. Indeed, something that left people speechless... Lian Feng's weight is the heaviest on the team, and even Marc Gasol's weight is two or three kilograms behind Lian Feng...

Therefore, Lian Feng is undoubtedly the most suitable person to fight against the center.

However, this is just based on weight... Adelman was unwilling to do this. Although he couldn't think of any valid reason at the moment, it just felt weird.

Lian Feng knew that it would be difficult for Adelman to immediately accept his transfer from the No. 2 position to the No. 5 position. So, he thought about it and persuaded him earnestly.

"Coach, I think we need to change our thinking... First of all, we must understand what the main role of the center is in our team... I think it is definitely not the main offensive position. On the defensive end, in our defensive system

Next, the center does not need to cover a large defensive area. The minimum requirement is that it cannot be used as a single point for the opposing center."

"On the offensive end, in our offensive system, the center's role is more reflected in being the offensive axis. At the same time, he must constantly travel between the high post and the penalty area to pull out the opponent's inside players and create space for us to cut in.

When necessary, he can even go directly outside the three-point line and use long shots to punish inside giants like O'Neal and Yao Ming."

Adelman was silent. Of course he understood what Lian Feng said. However, he thought about it carefully at this time and thought that the biggest problem was that if Lian Feng was really allowed to play center, wouldn't he give up Lian Feng's role as a center?

A strong deterrent from the outside? He thought for a while and expressed his thoughts to Lian Feng.

After hearing this, Lian Feng shook his head and said seriously: "Coach, I think we should change our thinking. In fact, offense and defense should be discussed separately."

"When defending, of course we have to consider the opponent's lineup, so it is very important for the center to be able to withstand the opposing center, protect the basket, and grab rebounds."

"But on the offensive end, you can't think about it with traditional thinking at all... Why, I mean, why do we have to play in the traditional way and have a center in the traditional sense?"

Adelman was slightly startled.

Lian Feng continued to smile. In the future, ten years later, the concept of modern basketball has completely changed. This Hornets team has already tended to be a team of the future, so now it is instilling some future basketball concepts in Adelman.

, will become more acceptable.

"The games of these two seasons have actually confirmed the fact that the future trend of basketball must be...the boundaries of various positions on the court will become more and more blurred. Think about how we win the game? It is by speed.

And range. At the same altitude, the faster the better, and at the same speed the higher the better."

"When I replaced Gasol, there was no longer a traditional center on the offensive end. I still played like a forward or defender, so what should the center do? Should he guard me or not guard me?

"

"He can still choose to stay in the paint, but there won't be anyone there to play with him, and his teammates will be in pain and have to face a 4-on-5 situation."

"But what will happen if the opposing center comes out to defend?" Lian Feng's eyes flashed with confidence: "How many times do you think I will knock them down? Even though I am so heavy now, it is not easy to knock a center away."

Adelman was stunned by Lian Feng's words.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems very reasonable.

Ah... This is simply going to overthrow the existing NBA basketball structure! If this is the case, the team's lineup seems to have become a "five small" lineup. The tallest Yin Baka on the court is only 206.

If it succeeds, it may bring a new storm to the entire NBA.

It’s just that there are many things that cannot be thought about in detail.

Adelman finally compromised and had no choice but to say: "I can't find any favorable arguments to refute you for the time being, so... we can try it."

According to Lian Feng, this team really doesn't have a "center" in the traditional sense. It can only be said to be... division of labor.

According to this idea, strictly speaking, Lian Feng cannot be regarded as playing the "center" position. It can only be said that when defending, he is responsible for defending the center.

On the offensive end, Lien Feng still plays according to his previous style of play, holding the ball or running without the ball like a defender or forward. This will indeed not weaken Lien Feng's status on the offensive end...even with such a special lineup.

Changes will make the opponent's center suddenly at a loss.

As Lian Feng said, when he starts to run a lot in the offense, what should the center do? If he runs, he will be exhausted. If he doesn't run, who will play with him?

After the forward takes Gasol's position, another advantage is... Danny Green doesn't have to be replaced, and Holiday can play in the starting position he dreams of.

After a brief discussion with Adelman, Lian Feng picked up a ball and put it under the basket, shook it left and right, then switched the ball to his left hand, jumped high, and hooked the ball with his left hand.

This is a method that Lian Feng just came up with to make up for his lack of height and wingspan, which makes his big hook easy to be interfered with.

It is possible to combine many skills together to exert a power far beyond that skill!

When encountering some necessary opportunities, first use the powerful back to open the way to create a comfortable offensive space, then a set of fantasy steps to further enlarge the offensive space, and finally use the jumping power and the king of hooks to complete the finish. And because

The bonus of the golden skill's weak-side proficiency, whether it is the left or right hand, can create a stable finish, making it more difficult for the opponent to defend.

Adelman's eyes lit up in the distance and he asked: "Nice hook move! When did you learn this move?"

"Haha, I've been practicing."

Back then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar relied on his undefeated Sky Hook in the Champions League, but this move is becoming increasingly rare in today's leagues. In fact, it's not that hooks are rare, but sky hooks are rare.

Players such as Yao Ming and O'Neal all use hooks, but their movements are still very different from sky hooks: small hooks are used to release the ball with a slight push of the arm, while sky hooks basically rely on the wrist to exert force.

, the difference between the two is like an ordinary shot and a fadeaway jumper. In short, the movement of the sky hook is more difficult to be interfered with. Moreover, the ordinary hook cannot be used anytime and anywhere, while the sky hook does not matter any time or person.

Defensively, he can make you doubt your life.

However, the skyhook is becoming increasingly rare. The main reason is that the skyhook is too difficult to practice. Compared with the fadeaway jumper, it can prevent others from interfering, and the learning difficulty of the fadeaway jumper is not known how much lower.

The hook that Lian Feng just performed was obviously a big hook. Judging from the movement, it was already very mature.

Adelman was once again impressed by Lian Feng... This guy seemed to have added an incredible weapon to his arsenal.
