The rest is just noise

Steve Nash's performance was amazing.

If Louis' "Beautiful Basketball" system is compared to the various techniques of basketball, then the "Meteor" tactic is the basic movement, passing and shooting.

You must master these basic skills before you can truly participate in this sport.

As the commander, Nash chose to integrate into the system starting from "Whale Fall", which was something out of Louis' plan.

For a new tactical system, any attempt is necessary.

Therefore, Louis encouraged Nash to do what he wanted.

As a result, not only did he not fail, he also completed the game content that Louis wanted to see with a very good debut.

In the few minutes that Nash was the leader of the system, the Lakers' offensive performance was relatively stable.

Moreover, the Cavaliers players, led by Nash, defeated the Timberwolves 14-0.

The Timberwolves, who had no fighting spirit, were defeated on the spot, allowing the Lakers to easily win a big victory.

133 to 99

This is also the 699th victory of Louis' coaching career.

Just one game shy of the 700-win milestone.

In this game, five Lakers scored in double figures. Wilson was the leader, scoring a game-high 35 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Garnett also scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Although Barkley did not belong to

He is a member of the Cavaliers, but he is considered an AD-like output position in the regular stage. He scored the second-highest 23 points and 13 rebounds on the team. The most surprising thing is of course Nash, who scored in just 14 minutes of playing time.

7 points, 8 assists, only 1 turnover.

The few minutes Nash dominated "Beautiful Basketball" were as satisfying as watching Yu Usada proudly display her peach hoard.

"I told you a long time ago, he is a genius!" Nelson is the No. 2 player on the team. "If that kid Kobe gives you a headache, just pretend that we selected Steve with the seventh pick!"

Louis didn't say much.

He won't use one game's performance to conclude that Nash really controls the system.

Maybe tonight was just an accident.

However, even if it is an accident, it is an accident worth pondering.

Because in order for such an accident to occur on the court, the person involved must have excellent golf intelligence, insight and decision-making ability.

Players who do not have this qualification will never have such an accident.

Reporters surrounded Louis as usual, asking him what he thought of his 699 wins.

Louis behaved condescendingly: "Peace is nothing special."

“How would you rate Steve Nash’s performance?”

This Louis has a lot to say.

He used the words "wonderful" and "unbelievable" for Nash's performance when reporters asked him to evaluate Kobe.

"I hope he will follow Steve's example and understand the concepts and playing methods of professional basketball as soon as possible."

That night, Louis took two young assistant coaches, Rick Carlisle and Mike Budenholzer, to review the game overnight.

Carlisle believes that core ball handlers like Nash should be given a higher tactical status.

"Steve is worth nurturing."

Budenholzer was somewhat dissatisfied with Nash's defense: "If Minnesota could use Steve as a breakthrough, they wouldn't have been beaten 14-0 by us."

In fact, Louis didn't want them to review Nash's performance, he wanted to find other problems.

Such as Kobe, such as Barkley, such as Wilson, such as Ellis, but unfortunately everyone's attention is on Nash.

It was late at night, and Louis asked them to go back to rest while he reviewed the game again.

From an overall perspective, Ellis has not scored in double figures in the past two games. At the same time, he has been used as a breakthrough by his opponents on the defensive end more frequently.

Considering his age (36) and bad living habits (alcoholism), he may not be suitable for starting.

Only two games have been played so far, Louis will not make a decision on this, and we need to wait and see.

Through this review, Louis also found the secret of Nash's ability to perform well under the "Beautiful Basketball" system.

The reason lies with Benj.

Now Benj has completely mastered "Meteor", and his mastery is not the kind of rote memorization of all tactical runs, but integrating it into his own playing style and fully understanding other players.

What people will do.

He frequently appears on "Whale Landing" and vocally directs others' movements and positions.

In fact, the real commander of those minutes was Benj.

Nash just put the ball where it was supposed to go.

Benj didn't have the ball in his hands and only had 4 assists. However, Louis found through review that 5 of Nash's 9 assists were directly related to Benj.

Although Louis was standing on the sidelines watching their game, it would be difficult to come up with an answer to this matter without careful review and combined with memories at the time.

Another discovery Louis made was that Garnett was starting to "light up" his passing skills.

Although there were only 3 assists in the game, Garnett, as the handover point for the ball and a tactical transition station, passed the ball quickly and efficiently.

However, coordination is like 101 exercises in bed. The more experienced people are, the better they know how to make their partners comfortable.

Even for geniuses like Garnett and Nash, if they are not allowed to quickly accumulate practical experience, it will be difficult for them to realize their talents in a short period of time.

If "Beautiful Basketball" wants to have the strongest effect, Garnett needs to develop his coordination ability to the extreme.

Maybe it's time to equip this guy with some support tactics?

Louis thought to himself, let Garnett pass more passes under the regular system, hone his skills, and improve his passing sense. With his seven-foot-tall vision, he can beat a wide-area transfer ball.

It requires the cooperation of two or three people to complete the fast ball transfer.

By the time Louis finished his review, it was already past three in the morning.

Since coming to Los Angeles, Louis feels that his mentality has become much younger.

When he was in New York, he would never have stayed up so late to review the game.

Just as I was about to take a rest, an unexpected guest came.

Louis walked to the door alertly and saw clearly the person outside through the peephole - he was a spirited young man with a bald head.

Who else but Kobe Bryant?

"It's so late, do you have anything to do with me?" Louis opened the door and asked, "Bean?"

Kobe's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to be troubled by something.

"Coach, you say I should follow Steve's example tonight?"

Please, give me a good time to compete!

Louis asked angrily: "Do you have any objections?"

"I have a big opinion!" Kobe said rationally, "Just looking at tonight's game, my role model should be that bastard Benjamin, not Steve! Steve seems to have revitalized the entire team's offense.

But that’s because Benjamin helped him direct other people’s movements, and he just passed the ball before the opportunity came up!”

Listen to how arrogant this kid uses his words - "He just passed the ball before the opportunity came up"? That's it?

Having said that, Kobe was able to discover the secret of Nash's excellent debut with the Cavaliers, which shows that this kid has a lot of intelligence.

Louis and the two assistant coaches reviewed the game for a long time and couldn't find any problems.

However, this matter really needs to be calmed down to see clearly and understand.

Because when the coaching staff reviews the game, it is more about looking for problems rather than "nitpicking."

As a rookie, and as the commander of the Cavaliers, Nash went against the grain and started learning the "Beautiful Basketball" system from the "Whale Fall" tactic. To have such a performance in his first game against the Timberwolves, no matter who helped him

He, he got perfect scores.

At this time, saying that he played so well because of Benj is like saying that some people can win the championship only because of teamwork. Putting aside the facts, you can't say that even if it is true.

"You came to me in the middle of the night just to talk about this?"

"Um..."

"Please find a normal time next time. You are lucky tonight. Also, Benj is our No. 1 player. Show some respect to him. Don't be a jerk."

"He is a bastard!" As soon as Kobe said this, Louis stared, and then he explained, "I asked him the secret of the 'Meteor' tactic, and he would tell me to communicate more with others. If it weren't for that bastard Jiang Duo...

.This guy has never been able to run tactics well without communicating with others, so I just believed him!"

"Is it possible that Jiang Duo is smarter than you, so he doesn't need to communicate?" Louis glanced at Kobe from top to bottom with disdainful eyes, "You don't look stupid...you just haven't gone to college, and you lack

The encouragement and teachings of the college team. Simply put, you are like an uneducated little bastard on the court. Since Benj told you to communicate more, then you can't listen to him and communicate more with your teammates? Practice is to test the truth.

The only standard, Uand?”
