Chapter 1427 Walk on another leg

Chapter 1442: Walk on another leg

The draft is over.

The Lakers' seemingly crazy operation in the draft added a touch of joy to the audience, but it didn't take long for that joy to be replaced by the anger caused by the NBA lockout.

July 1

David Stern announced that the NBA will be suspended starting today due to irreconcilable differences.

So, suddenly, the NBA management team, which should have entered a busy period, took a collective vacation.

Before Louis returned home, he called every player on the team.

He hopes that the players will not neglect training during the lockout. The more this time is, the more they must hold themselves to high standards. The lockout will eventually end, and when the season starts, these hard training will be reflected on them one by one.

In addition, Louis emphasized to Garnett and Kobe that they should conduct "mental thinking" training on time and write down their experiences. When the new season starts, these experiences should be handed over to him.

Garnett complained endlessly: "Sir, why am I still assigned summer homework when I have already left campus?"

"Do you know where you are not as good as Tim? It's not your skills, your body, or your ability." Louis said three lies in a row without blinking, "It's just a matter of mentality and emotional control. Your mentality is easy to be impetuous, and your emotions are often out of control.

, think about Tim again, how can he roar like you all the time, even if he scores 50 points, he still looks like the referee owes him money, you should learn from this!"

Louis' big national team plan is not to select talents, but to gather domestic basketball elites as a team's sparring partners to simulate the new style of "pass the ball once more".

"This can indeed effectively reduce the pace of the game, but can we adapt?"

After half a month, the team has initially adapted to the slow-paced game, and this style of play will not be promoted as the main tactic of the men's basketball team.

"Thank you for your continued encouragement, Sir. I will definitely study spiritual thinking and strive to become a master in this area!"

Moreover, this sparring team is known as Team B to the outside world, while the official national team led by Louis is known as Team A to the outside world.

Louis guessed that something like this would happen, so he called those who were willing to come first, and then gathered overseas players from Luyuan to form a high-quality sparring team with American style.

There was even one game where the national team actually lost to team B.

"You're making excuses, right? What's wrong with going to college? Four years of college is amazing? You also went to college for four years!" Louis said with disdain, "You went to Lakers University for four years and you didn't make any progress at all.

No? Did Professor Bird not teach you well? It seems I have to find time to scold that country bumpkin."

The innocent Kobe just bites the bait when he sees it, and decisively said that he has to think about it every day. When the new season starts, he will be the first to hand in his homework.

Louis' plan proceeds steadily.

"Sir, this is unfair! Tim has a bachelor's degree in psychology. He has studied in college for four years. He must be better educated than me."

Some players of Team B have attracted attention from all parties, such as Xiao Laoban who is working hard in Europe, Van Helsing who is fighting for NBA opportunities in the NBA Development League, etc.

However, the shutdown is a foregone conclusion. Judging from the ending of the previous life, this shutdown will last until 2000.

This is usually the men's basketball team's advantage when facing other teams, but in front of the Americans, this is a short attack and a long attack.

Harris is well-informed, and Louis's routine against the American team instantly reminded him of the immortal 1985 NCAA National Finals.

Louis doesn't know how long he can persist, but every time he comes to the national team, he feels full of energy, because in his heart, there is still an ambitious goal that has not been achieved. They were only one step away from that goal last year.

.

In other words, Louis' vacation lasted for half a year.

Because fans always have the idea that someone might be better than XX.

But for all aspects of the country, the men's basketball team has successfully completed their mission.

Jeff Van Gundy has a new defensive scheme for the team.

What Louis wants the players to see is how terrible the rhythm and starting speed of the American team are.

After all, the sparring team is not considered the main selection of the national team and cannot play in the national team competition. Being here as a sparring partner is like volunteering and you get nothing.

Li Yuanwei agreed, but the country did not fully cooperate.

The runner-up result in the World Championships was enough to bring glory to the Basketball Association, causing all major media to spread the word about this team that used to win the eighth place all the time to dampen the fans' interest.

Faced with such an easy-to-deceive kid, Louis was really reluctant to separate from him.

Taking this opportunity, the men's basketball team began to practice slow-paced games.

"So, we have to walk on another leg."

Louis was vaguely looking forward to it.

Louis is now just pushing the concept of controlling the rhythm to the players, and the rest will come slowly.

Later, Louis went to Li Yuanwei and proposed to him the plan for the national team.

Create real opportunities through complex tactical movements and pass the ball multiple times, make full use of the 24-second attack time, and try to complete the attack after 20 seconds.

When a certain male basketball player performs poorly, someone wants the top players from Team B to replace them.

"Very well, Bean, this is your first step to replace Benj and become the next generation GOAT."

Louis introduced another game mode.

Louis also secured some sponsorship and held exhibition games in the country in the name of men's basketball team A and B.

He calls this model "one more pass."

At the beginning, everyone was not used to it, and the number of mistakes took off immediately.

"Last year's failure taught us a lesson, that is, we can't compete with the Americans who has a faster tempo, we can't compete with the Americans who push more counterattacks, and we can't play at the rhythm of the game they are used to," Louis said, "Unfortunately.

The thing is, what the Americans are good at is also what we were good at before. This is the reason why we can reach the World Championship finals, but in front of the Americans, this method will not work."

But Louis' inspiration did not come from that game, but from the legendary game in his previous life in 2006 when the Greek team defeated the American team.

Kobe is not as difficult to deal with as Garnett.

"Remember to write down your experience, I will read it when the time comes."

That was the biggest upset in modern basketball.

On his first day back in the men's basketball team, Louis led the team to review last year's heartbreaking defeat.

Of course, the Greek team not only controlled the rhythm of the game, it can be said that they made frequent clever moves throughout the game, and head coach Janarski even became Popovich's teacher for a time⑵.

In that era when the NCAA had not introduced shot time, Villanueva's tactics were to constantly control the rhythm, delay time, consume Georgetown's patience, and rely on the incredible shooting performance of the collective players⑴ to shatter Georgetown's dynasty dream

, which made Ewing leave college basketball with regret.

When Kobe asked why he needed mental meditation, Louis dispelled his doubts with one sentence.

It was the new millennium.

"NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!" Garnett shouted, "Sir, don't bother Larry, I listen to you, isn't it just Shensi? From today on, my brother will be a Shensi!"

The Cinderella-like Villanueva University men's basketball team defeated a rising Georgetown team in the national finals.

"Do you know why Benj can be calm at critical moments and always perform stably? Because he is a master-level thinker. He has been thinking for several years. This is the reason why he eventually became the best in history. If you

If you want to imagine that he is so good, you must first master the secret that makes him so good."

Think about how many things will happen during this period, and how much will they change when they meet next time?

At the beginning of July, Louis spent a day with his family, and then flew home alone to continue his work.

When Louis arrived, Del Harris had already organized team training for a month and a half.

There is almost no time for rest throughout the year, and this life has lasted for three full years.

This is a secret weapon. Only when facing the American team again, this trick will have a miraculous effect.

After more than half a month of training, Team B disbanded on the spot, and Louis took the men's basketball team to participate in a higher-quality warm-up match to prepare for the Men's Basketball Asian Championship to be held in Fukuoka, Japan, at the end of August.

⑴ A thousand chapters ago, I spent about three chapters describing that game. Here I will talk about Villanova’s shooting performance. The field goal percentage was 78%.

⑵Popovich's idea of ​​letting Ginobili play as the sixth man came from the 2006 World Championship match between Greece and the United States. Greece chose to start with a substitute, win the game and push the decisive battle to the last three quarters.

, and at the same time, the main force has the physical strength to persist until the end of the game.
