One Guard

phone-reading

After the All-Star Game, the Mavericks made great strides and won three consecutive games in one fell swoop. And consecutive victories will also make the players' condition better and better. The entire Dallas Mavericks seem to have entered a virtuous circle.

On the training ground, everyone is talking and laughing, but still serious. This relaxed and effective training atmosphere is exactly what Carlisle expected.

During the rest of training, Kidd, as always, held a basketball and explained to Yiyang some of his views on the game. As a "triple double maniac", Kidd has made great achievements in every aspect, so Yiyang will be very serious every time he learns from Kidd.

"For defenders, the rebounding is not always active, it needs to be determined according to the tactics. If the coach says we need to return to the defense quickly, then your best choice is to give up the offensive rebounding. When the offense fails, quickly retreat to your own half. In the same way, if the boss needs us to play a fast pace, then you don't want to mess with the gang of elders. Leave the rebounding to them, you just need to go forward Just run wildly. Conversely, if the head coach’s arrangement is to control rebounds, then as a guard, you also have the responsibility to fight for rebounds. Hey, your height is the same as mine, both are 1.93 meters, and this height is controlling The guard position actually has an advantage. I’m not just talking about offense, but also rebounds.” After Kidd finished speaking, he beckoned a few trainers to come up, and then Kidd began to cover up and grab Yiyang in detail. Some considerations when rebounding.

The skills of the small man grabbing rebounds and the big man grabbing rebounds are not exactly the same. Kidd told Yiyang that if the inside player has firmly stuck in his position, as a guard, he should be active when necessary. scrambling.

If your inside player is not completely stuck, then as a guard, the first choice is not to fight with the big guys, but to take the lead in getting stuck in your own matchup, and not giving the opponent's little guy a chance to miss. On this point, Yiyang has been doing well.

Seeing the two point guards, one old and one young, actually studying how to rebound, even Chandler shook his head. That guy Kidd is really cultivating Yiyang as his next self.

But in fact, this is also a good thing, the more Kidd is willing to teach Yiyang, doesn't it just prove that Yiyang is more and more worthy of people's teaching? The same is the rookie guard selected by the Mavericks in 2010. Why is Dominic Jones, the 25th pick, not treated like this? It can only be said that people really regarded Yiyang as a future superstar to cultivate.

After Kidd and Yiyang finished studying the rebounding skills, Carlisle clapped his hands to signal the end of the break. Next, the last training of today will be carried out, the confrontation training within the team.

Adversarial training is the best way to simulate actual combat before the game. Carlisle's request is to ask the players to implement the tactics arranged and practiced as much as possible.

Although it was just training, in the simulated game, Yiyang's performance in rebounding was indeed more active.

Yiyang, a student with a strong learning ability, and Kidd, a teacher at a historical level, if possible, Carlisle really hopes that Kidd can play for a few more years. It's not because he longs for what Kidd, who is nearly forty years old, can play, but because he hopes that Yiyang can learn more from Kidd.

At the end of the confrontational training, Carlisle applauded with satisfaction. According to the usual practice, after Carlisle made a summary of today's training, the players can go home from get off work.

The academic coach clapped his hands, motioning everyone to focus on himself. But there is no rigid requirement that the players have to stand in front of them. You can lie on the floor, sit on the bench, if you like, you can hang upside down on the basket. After a day of training, everyone worked hard, so as long as you are comfortable, you can do whatever you want.

"When you take the plane tomorrow morning, don't be late. After arriving in Philadelphia, hurry up and rest,

After the adaptive training in the afternoon, we will go directly to the game. Remember, don't underestimate the enemy. We are not the only team that has won 3 consecutive victories after the All-Star break. The same is true for the Philadelphia 76ers. They are in good shape, and they are still playing at home. So, I hope you all don't take it lightly, okay? "

"No problem!" After Carlisle finished speaking, he got a neat and powerful reply from the players.

After the three-game winning streak, the Mavericks' next opponent is the 76ers who missed Yiyang and chose Evan Turner in the 2010 draft.

At the beginning of the season, the two teams once had a confrontation. At that time, the topic of the media was the duel between Yiyang and Turner. But it is obvious that the current Turner has gradually faded out of people's sight. A high-profile and honorable star player in college, Turner has now dropped to No. 7 on the official rookie list and has not even been selected for the All-Star Rookie Game.

Turner's future will not be settled like this, but at least at this moment, he has no ability to compete with Yiyang.

Although this duel lacks some gimmicks. But the 76ers, who are still hovering on the edge of the playoffs, are not a soft persimmon.

It is not unreasonable for Carlisle to deliberately remind the players not to underestimate the enemy. The more uncertain the team is on the edge of the playoffs, the more dangerous it will be after the All-Star Game. Tomorrow's trip to Philadelphia will not be as easy as the day before yesterday's Northern Expedition...

※※※

Philadelphia, America's oldest and most historic metropolis. It is the fifth largest city in the United States after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.

Along the Delaware River in Philadelphia stretching west to the Schuylkill River, you can see many historic buildings. The city of Philadelphia has played an important role in American history.

Even the team name of the Philadelphia 76ers has a profound relationship with history. The American Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776 is the origin of the Philadelphia team's name.

Despite the history of the big ball market and origins, the current situation of the Philadelphia 76ers is not very good.

Last season, the 76ers only won a total of 27 games and were undoubtedly shut out of the playoffs. Of course, such results are not all bad, at least this allowed the 76ers to get a second pick.

In the draft, the 76ers got the genius Evan Turner as everyone expected. This season, the record of the 76ers has indeed improved a lot. It's just a pity that the improvement of the 76ers' performance has nothing to do with Turner.

Obviously, after a failed season, this year's ranking on the fringes of the playoffs is not in line with the 76ers' expectations. And the fans in Philadelphia seem to be losing patience with the management.

The current 76ers have only one task, and that is to win all opponents as much as possible, and at all costs. If the team is still shut out of the playoffs this year, it will be a disservice to both the fans and the team culture.

Stepping into the wooden floor of Fuguo Center Arena, Yiyang felt that everything around him seemed very serious. From the fans to the players to the head coach, everyone is serious.

The Mavericks' starters were relaxing before the game began. But the starting five tigers of the 76ers are all frowning and waiting.

The live broadcast began to report the names of the players of the visiting team, but whether they were players or fans, they were just indifferent when they heard these names. This is a procedure to be carried out before the game, nothing more.

From the serious and even depressing atmosphere of the scene, Carlisle understood that the huge stone of victory or defeat has already weighed heavily on the entire arena!

This pressure will drive the 76ers to rise up and resist, but it is also very likely that they will be completely crushed to death!

In such an extremely serious atmosphere, the referee blew his whistle and threw the basketball into the air. Tyson Chandler got the ball first for the Mavericks, but Carlisle knew it was the start of a tough day for his team.

Sure enough, driven by the belief of "must win", the 76ers star Iguodala's defense in the first round intercepted Chandler's return pass to Stevenson. As soon as they played, the Mavericks made mistakes under tight defense.

Iguodala's athletic ability is very strong, but this guy who has become a star player with the heart of a role player usually doesn't like to show off. But once Iguodala is fully engaged, his offensive power is still very terrifying.

Stevenson followed closely behind Iguodala, who advanced with the ball, and also took off to block the block when the latter stepped into the paint and jumped for a dunk.

Stevenson's hand has already touched the basketball, but Iguodala's thick arms slammed hard and quickly dunked the basketball into the frame without giving Stevenson any chance.

After a very exciting dunk, there was a small burst of cheers in the stands, and then the audience fell silent again. Nothing seemed to ignite the arena except the ultimate victory.

Iguodala's fast-break dunk after the steal set the tone for the game. After that, the 76ers' defense and offense were very fierce, and they spared no effort. The powerful Dallas Mavericks played very hard under the pounce of the 76ers.

In the fifth minute of the first quarter, Carlisle called to stop the game. Just now, the 76ers relied on the team's starting No. 2 Jody Meeks' mid-range shot to overtake the score. But 76ers coach Doug Collins knew very well that Carlisle called a timeout not because the team was behind, but because he was going to replace that guy!

"On the defensive end, press the No. 1 with all your strength! Don't give him any space, switch defenses infinitely!" Collins waved his hand and took the lead in making defensive arrangements for Yiyang.

Evan Turner was actually quite upset. Yiyang, the third pick in the draft, is now so strong that he can let his opponent make targeted arrangements for him before he even plays. And as the second place, I am still just an ordinary substitute player.

Collins can't take into account Turner's self-esteem now, leading the team to win, this is the task of the head coach.

"The 76ers played very aggressively today, we must not give them any chance to attack again! Try hard to rebound, I don't want us to be behind in the number of rebounds! Also, you go on the court and replace Kidd. Hold on Rhythm, let's play slowly with the Philadelphians!" On the other side, Carlisle also made corresponding adjustments. The positive impact of the 76ers once allowed them to grab several offensive rebounds to get a second chance to attack.

But now, Carlisle does not want to see a similar situation happen again.

Before playing, Kidd pulled Yiyang to his side. "Remember what I taught you yesterday?"

What Kidd was referring to was the set of grabbing rebounds.

Yiyang didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

"Very good, let's go!" Kidd patted Yiyang on the shoulder, and then pushed No. 1 up.

The heavy Fuguo Center arena is waiting for the only winner, but it is not certain who will be crushed to death.
