Different from scolding the players during the halftime break, Edison praised the players profusely at the post-game press conference and did not hesitate to praise him. But at the same time, he also said that the preseason results did not mean anything, and the Grizzlies personnel
It was uneven and not in the best condition. The score did not reflect the true strength of the two teams. I hope the players will not be complacent and continue to work hard.
But for reporters, this kind of calm and harmonious Q&A is not what they need, so someone raised Edison's views on Howard and other newcomers, and how the team will handle it after Hill returns from injury if the newcomers perform well.
Edison said: "With a healthy Hill, I don't think anyone in the entire Eastern Conference would dare to underestimate him. He is an important member of us. I feel very sorry for all the misfortunes that happened to him. But everyone should also see that the team
Thanks to the efforts made in this regard, the team's medical team has been reformed this summer. I believe that the current medical team can help Hill get rid of injuries and return to the game. Even if Hill really can't find the previous feeling
Well, that doesn't matter. My team is very young, and Hill's experience can help the team very well, both on and off the court."
"As for the performance of the newcomers, I feel very satisfied. Howard played 30 minutes and scored 19 points and 12 rebounds. This is a very good result, consistent with his status as the No. 1 pick. Josh scored 20 points, which is also very good.
Godara and Martin also scored in double figures, and although Tony Allen and Varejao were not outstanding in scoring, they showed their value defensively."
The reporter then asked Edison about his expectations for the new season.
"A championship, my goal is always a championship. I believe this is also the goal of the other 29 teams. Although other teams are very strong, the Pistons are still strengthening themselves, and the Heat have suddenly become a powerhouse in the East. Although the Lakers in the West
It is no longer as prosperous as in previous years, but with Kobe and Lamar Odom, they cannot be underestimated. The Spurs, Kings and Timberwolves are also at their peak. But I believe that my team will be better than yours in April next year.
I think it will be a team that can be compared with them."
Although the Magic defeated the Grizzlies, it did not become the focus of public opinion, because this is a preseason game, and anything can happen. Even if you score 150 points, no one will take it seriously. As for Edison's arrogant remarks, it is even more serious.
No one paid attention. First of all, no one believed what he said. Second, after a big victory, no one could brag about it too much.
Only the local media in Orlando were very satisfied with the team's performance. The "Orlando Sentinel" published the title "Orlando Lightning Shocks the League". The article believed that all speculations about the team can be ended. This is a unique football team.
As a team, Nash used his lightning-fast passing to lead a group of young people in a lightning-fast attack.
God knows which alliance the article said was alarmed.
Although the media did not pay much attention to the Magic, fans did not think so. After all, the Magic's performance was too entertaining to watch. In particular, several dunks in the first quarter against the Grizzlies were ranked among the top 10 goals scored by major media that day.
A Magic fan named Tom left a message on the Magic's official website: "I struggled for a long time last night. Should I watch the Magic game or go watch a romantic action movie and masturbate? In the end, I watched the Magic."
I masturbated during the game.” (In memory of the rebuilding Bobcats)
Another netizen named jerry said: "Today's game made me so excited. The last time I was so excited was when I saw the dunk king smash the backboard. (Guess who the dunk king is, this Where is the source?) Originally, I was planning to give up on the Magic next season, but now I have changed my mind and decided to buy a season ticket."
Some even said directly: "This guy wants to watch slam dunks when he watches the NBA. I used to watch Tracy McGrady dunks three times a day, and I got tired of it! Now it's better, with the new Magic Team, I can beat him every game." Five games, high in the air, powerful, five in one session, effortless! And affordable!”….
After winning the game, the team flew back to Orlando to continue high-intensity training.
After watching the first game, Old Pat came to the training camp to praise the team's performance in Memphis. Then he called Edison into his office.
"Paul, you did a good job. I watched the broadcast of yesterday's game. You did a good job and it was very enjoyable to watch. It can be seen that your tactics are very suitable for these young guys. Especially Nash, as expected, you That said, his talent was indeed suppressed in the Mavericks, and now I can understand why you value him so much."
Old Pat was full of emotions. He made the biggest gamble in his life in the summer. At that time, he forced Edison to win against all the opinions. From then on, he and Edison could be said to have prospered and suffered losses. There is absolutely no way out. If he fails, his career as a team manager will be over. But this is not what Old Pat is worried about. He is almost 70 and should have been able to go home for retirement. , so he is not afraid that he will not be able to sit at the pinnacle of power. What he is afraid of is that he gave everything he could to show off, but in the end he lost everything. He cannot accept this cruelty. Reality.
Now through yesterday's game, Old Pat saw hope. Although he didn't expect the team to really "win the championship" like Edison said, he didn't think about it and didn't dare to think about it. He felt that was unrealistic. But as long as If the Magic can maintain a good momentum and enter the playoffs this year, it will at least have an explanation. Besides, the team is still young, and it may not be possible to achieve what Edison said next year and the next year. So how does Pat feel now? What a relief.
Then Dev, Otis and the team president Vandevelde, who was still recovering, all called to express their congratulations on yesterday's game and flattered Edison.
Edison was also a little distraught. He came to the training ground and saw Thibodeau instructing the players to train. So he walked over with a square step, bulging his belly, looking like a land secretary, and said to Thibodeau: "Well done. Yes, you work very seriously, keep working hard."
Thibodeau turned his head and looked at Edison, his serious face showed a look of disdain in his eyes.
Seeing that Thibodeau was not cooperating, Edison also felt that he had just won 2, so in order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he said angrily: "Tom, do you think we can win 55 games by the end of this regular season?"
Thibodeau thought for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Xuan."
"What if these players could fully understand and execute your defensive rotation system perfectly?" Edison was not satisfied with Thibodeau's answer, so he asked a hypothesis.
Thibodeau's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Do you think they can fully understand and perfectly execute my defensive rotation system?"
Edison thought for a while, then curled his lips and said, "Hang."
Although it was October and the sun was still shining brightly in Orlando, Edison and Thibodeau felt a cold wind blowing under their feet, making the atmosphere even more awkward.
Just as Nelson was passing by the sidelines, Edison seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly greeted him and then left with him.
Thibodeau was watching Iguodala, Howard and several other players practicing pick-and-roll moves on the court. He carefully thought about Edison's question again and muttered "Hanging, um, it's really hanging."
Then he nodded vigorously.
Edison and Nelson were walking together and happened to talk to Nelson about a problem.
"Aaron, look, in yesterday's game I found that our inside height was obviously not high enough, and it was a big difference compared to other teams. See if you can do some stretching training for Howard and Josh.
, let them grow taller through external force.”….
Nelson listened, stopped, looked at Edison seriously, and thought for a while, "I'm not sure, but we can do it lightly first, and then follow up to observe their body's reaction. If there is no problem, then increase the intensity."
.”
Edison listened and patted Nelson on the shoulder, "Then I'll leave it to you."
In fact, stretching training is similar to the kind of spinal stretching corrector that everyone saw in TV commercials a few years ago. They fix the feet and neck, and then extend the machine to straighten the person's spine and widen the bone gaps to increase height.
Some people may wonder why it is not widely promoted since it can increase height. In fact, it is very simple. Forcibly widening the bone gap to promote bone growth will cause great damage to the human body.
The entire human body is very delicate. Muscles, blood, bones, fat, etc. are in a dynamic balance. If you forcefully change one of them, you will break the balance of the body, and a terrible accident can occur if you are not careful.
The most common side effect in life that changes the body balance is liposuction. This kind of surgery is really dangerous. The sequelae are not only leaving wounds. Originally, it takes at least 2 weeks to change the balance of the human body, and the bones are about
You can adapt to the change once a month, but this rapid change will make your body lose its balance in a short period of time, and an accident may leave lifelong regrets.
The same goes for traction and stretching of bones. If you forcefully promote the longitudinal growth of bones, their horizontal growth will slow down, and the bones will become brittle and prone to danger. This is especially true for athletes. The burden on their own bones is already very heavy.
If you are not careful, it is more likely to cause fractures and fractures. If a stress fracture occurs, then this person's life will be ruined.
And on the basketball court, taller is not always better. As long as your height is not obviously at a disadvantage when facing off, that's enough. Being taller doesn't mean much, but it will affect flexibility. Besides, the increase in height
, the weight will inevitably increase, which will increase the burden on the knees and ankles. So when Edison said it, he only mentioned Howard and Josh, two insiders who value height, and did not consider the likes of Iguodala at all.
.
For Howard and Josh, one is 206cm and the other is 204cm. This is not enough for the inside line, so Edison hopes that they will be a little taller. And for the two of them, stretching training is relatively suitable.
, it is easy to produce results, and the side effects will be relatively small. There are two reasons for saying this.
First of all, they are all black people. I am not a racist, but we must admit that black people have bone density, the ratio of red to white muscles, and even sexual ability (I won’t write it clearly to prevent censorship, everyone knows what it is) and so on.
Physical factors are more competitive than other races, so they can stretch and adjust faster.
Second, they are all still young, around 19 years old, not yet 20. As the saying goes, "A man is twenty-three years old, but a seventeen-eighteen-year-old man is not strong enough." Men's physical development is inherently slower than that of women, Howard
Josh and Josh are still in the growth period. For people in the growth period, their metabolism will be more vigorous and their body regulation will be faster. I believe many people have heard that "so-and-so grew 6 centimeters during a holiday.
"Grown more than 20 centimeters in one year" is a story. Indeed, this kind of thing is very common. I believe everyone who reads this book will have similar examples around them. If you find an adult to stretch him by 6 centimeters, then his
The bones will definitely become very thin first, and accidents such as fractures and fractures will easily occur. But a young man will be much better. His body can respond immediately and mobilize nutrients to replenish related tissues to ensure that the entire body
balanced growth.
In the same way, Howard and Josh's bodies should be able to adjust quickly to offset the adverse effects. It can be said that they are in the golden age of stretching training. The younger they are, the more they will grow.
Stretching will increase the burden on the body; as you get older, your body's ability to adjust is not as strong...
Historically, Howard finally grew to 211cm, and Josh was 206cm. However, they did not conduct stretching training at this optimal time. The reason is very simple. When Howard first debuted, he played power forward, while Josh was 206cm.
They are small forwards. For these two positions, they are tall enough, and there is no need to stretch. But now that Edison has raised their positions, although this height cannot be said to be short, it is traditional in the league.
The standard equipment is 7 feet (213cm) for the center and 6 feet 10 inches (208cm) for the power forward. Compared with this standard, both of them are a little bit worse. This situation is very difficult for Edison, who is obsessed with pursuing perfection and even has a little bit of data obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This is very unpleasant for people, so he made this request to Nelson today.
ps: Don’t question the effect of stretching training. Stoudemire was originally a 208 power forward, but later the Suns arranged for him to play center, so Nelson took advantage of his recovery period from a knee injury to take him for stretching training every day.
When he came back a year later, he had grown to 210cm. At his age at that time, 2cm a year was quite enough. But I still have to emphasize again: this stretching is not a good thing. Please don't try it lightly.
There is no benefit to people. If you must do it, please do it under the guidance of professionals.
The Magic are still training relatively calmly here, but the preseason games outside are in full swing.
The league also deliberately arranged it, and immediately arranged a heavyweight confrontation between the Heat and the Rockets at home. The two teams each participated in a seismic deal in this summer's transfer market and made major changes to their team lineups.
Change of blood. In addition to the Yao-Shark War that the league has been promoting in recent years, this game was very gimmick. The game was also fierce. In the end, the Heat won the Rockets 94-89 by virtue of their home court advantage.
Edison is also very concerned about these two teams.
The Heat are his main competitors in the Eastern Conference in the next one or two years, so he naturally has to pay attention to the opponent's state. After watching the video of the game, Edison felt that there is no difference between the current Heat and the historical Heat. It was also O'Neal who began to show signs of success.
Despite his old age, although he can still beat all the invincible opponents in the league, his dominance of the game is not as good as before. Wade is in his prime, a new generation of barefoot terminator in the league, but he is still not as good as the shark mouth.
In the end, the Heat's tactics revolved around O'Neal and Wade.
The focus on the Rockets is not only because of the love of the Chinese people, but also because of Edison's bad taste. What will the Rockets be like without Tracy McGrady?
Compared with the Rockets in history, there is no Tracy McGrady, but Kidd is here. Although the two are the top players in each other's position, Edison clearly feels that Yao Ji's Rockets are better than Yao Kidd's.
.
The Rockets during Van Gundy's era used zip-up tactics, which was Van Gundy's main tactic. He used zip-up tactics when he was in the Knicks. The main purpose of the zip-up offense was to cause wing singles by the point guard or back-to-the-basket singles by post players, and at the same time, through
Lowering the screen creates an open shooting opportunity. The Knicks had Ewing back then, and now the Rockets have Yao Ming. Both of them are the top post-up players in the league. But the original Rockets couldn't perform well because McGrady didn't fit in with this tactic.
McGrady is very good, he can break through, pull up jumpers, and pass the ball alone, but the zipper attack is launched by the point guard. His starting action is the cooperation between the inside and the point guard. It is the same as the V-shaped tactic.
Point guard-led tactics. But this is not suitable for McGrady. He used to dominate the game, but now it has to be dominated by others, and he can't accept it. It can be said that McGrady's problem is a psychological problem, not a basketball tactical problem. As for the problem of basketball tactics.
It is impossible for the Rockets to change tactics, because no matter which tactic you switch to, as long as you want to play the center, the main partner with him is the defender. This is a basic rule and cannot be changed...
Now that the Rockets have a point guard like Kidd who knows how to pass and cooperate, Van Gundy's zipper tactics are becoming more and more popular. Even from a viewing point of view, they are better than that Rockets. Tracy McGrady's Rockets, of course
When the ball comes to his hands, the zipper tactic stops, so what you most often see is that everyone stops moving after McGrady catches the ball, and then McGrady pulls up. Although the current Rockets are still focused on defense,
The average points per game are not many, but the tactics should be more coherent and the running should be smoother.
The confrontation between these two teams is a feast for Edison, and coincidentally, they will both be the Magic's preseason opponents.
Unknowingly, the preseason has started for nearly a week, and it can be said that there is war everywhere in this week. The Warriors defeated the Kings 98-92. The Warriors were upset mainly because the Kings failed to exert their strength. The Wizards lost to the Pacers 95-101.
Arenas scored 48 points alone, but the Pacers had no choice but to outnumber them. The SuperSonics defeated the Lakers 103-84. The disintegrated Zijin Dynasty was completely silent. Everyone has not yet come out of the shadow of the defeat in the finals.
.The Clippers lost to the Suns 92-103. McGrady performed bravely in this game, scoring 23 points in 21 minutes and in hot form.
In addition, there are two overseas games in the past few days. The Jazz vs. CSKA. The game took place in Moscow, Russia. In the end, ak47 Kirilenko scored a near triple-double in front of his hometown folks and led the Jazz to victory. The other game was
The Kings vs. Rockets took place in Shanghai, China. The Rockets, playing at home, beat the Kings violently, making Chinese people full of expectations for the Rockets' new season.
The Magic will also participate in several preseason games in the next few days. They played the Hawks at home on the 13th. Nash had an astonishing 23 assists. Seven players on the team scored in double figures. The Magic won the preseason game 134-110.
2 consecutive wins.
The Rockets had a break on the 14th, and Edison was relatively relaxed, training with the team. After the training, he took some time to talk on the phone with Rachel. After learning that the filming of "Brokeback Mountain" went very smoothly, Edison even reminded her not to be bullied.
The temptation of two handsome men, Thomas and Harlan Gill, was to prevent him from getting too involved in the emotional scene and doing something that would make him feel sorry for himself. However, Edison was relieved with just one sentence from Rachel, "You don't know what's going on in this movie?"
Is the emotional scene between them two men?" Because "The Ghost Story" is about to be released, the two people have had a series of discussions and some good prospects for it. In short, although the two people are now in
We were in different places, but our hearts were tightly connected. Edison was full of expectations, waiting for Christmas.
The 15th is another game day for the Magic. They will face the Heat at home.
--------Dividing line------
A large chapter is presented.
This person is not convinced. I originally thought that 6,000 updates per day is already very good, but I accidentally looked at the top few in the competitive monthly ticket list and almost spit out blood. Are they human? Are they still working?
