As soon as they came on the field, the Orlando Magic used a successful defense to block the Philadelphia 76ers. Willie Green's emergency stop jumper was slapped off the court by Adrian after getting past Keith Bogans. Again.
After serving, he was still suppressed by the Magic on the defensive end. Until twenty-four seconds, Andre Iguodala had no choice but to hastily choose a jump shot from outside the three-point line when he really had no chance.
.
Andre Iguodala's shooting is not very good to begin with, and his three-point ability has never been developed. What's more, this kind of hasty shot at the last moment, plus when he shoots, he obviously wants to avoid it.
He opened up Sharad Lewis's interference block and deliberately raised the arc.
Bang……
The basketball hoop rose up. Because Kwame Brown got the rebound, the referee did not blow the 24-second violation whistle, but allowed the Magic to continue attacking. The Philadelphia 76ers' small lineup retreated quickly.
, when Kwame Brown passed the basketball to Adrian, the Philadelphia 76ers had already retreated with four players, leaving no opportunity for the Magic to play a fast break.
Like the previous shots, as soon as Adrian reached the three-point line, he passed the basketball to Keith Bogans, and he ran to the free throw line and got stuck in the ribs. This time, Adrian resisted behind him.
The person became Andre Iguodala, and apparently Larry Brown arranged for Andre Iguodala to rotate and defend Adrian when he was on the sidelines.[
"Are you going to guard me? What about Lewis? Give it to that six-foot point guard?" Adrian said to Iguodala with a smile, but Iguodala is not a talkative person.
In response to Adrian's slightly provocative words, Iguodala did not reply at all. He was just silent. He used stronger force to Adrian, trying hard to prevent Adrian from getting to the best position where he could have full choices.
Seeing that Iguodala had no intention of answering, Adrian raised his hand and asked Bogans. Bogans immediately passed the basketball to Adrian's hands in a high-key manner. As soon as his palm touched the basketball, Adrian
Before he could make any other moves, Lou Williams and Willie Green dropped their defenders and double-teamed Ah De without hesitation.
"What do you want to do?" This sudden move made Adrian feel a little stunned.
On the sidelines, Larry Brown carefully observed the situation on the court. His eyes hidden under the lenses revealed the brilliance of wisdom.
The closer the critical moment comes, the more unique the superstar's style of play becomes!
Because Isiah Thomas, the then general manager of the New York Knicks, once defended his beloved disciple Stephon Marbury when he was criticized by the media for having too unique a style of play and said, "How can you become a superstar if you are not independent?"
It is obviously a mistake to use 'independence' as the benchmark for becoming a superstar, but on the other hand, Isiah Thomas was right. He just got the prerequisites wrong. It is not because of being 'independent' that he becomes a superstar.
A superstar, but because it is precisely because he is a superstar that he is 'unique'!
The "independence" of superstars is not because they are too attached to the ball or care about their own data. It is a manifestation of fundamental self-confidence. Because of superstars, they are confident. Because of self-confidence, they instinctively choose to believe first at critical moments.
This is a key step for superstars to become superstars, and it is also the basis for achieving countless classic moments in history. At the same time, such self-confidence can also mislead them, causing them to make wrong judgments at critical moments.
This is called the self-esteem of a superstar. It is also called the self-confidence of a superstar. It is also called the style of a superstar.
All in all, as long as they are superstars, there are not many who are not like this.
Especially when they feel explosive and score continuously, it is even more impossible to hand the basketball into the hands of others. Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter, O'Neal and even Jordan... even though they all have good passing skills, during the explosive period
When faced with a double team, they would not choose to pass the ball. This was the case for these superstars in their prime. Larry Brown has reason to believe that Adrian cannot be an exception.
At least, that's what Larry Brown thinks!
At least, in the first 05 seconds, Larry Brown was still so confident.
Then Larry Brown saw it. Adrian threw the basketball in his hand to the outside without hesitation. He didn't even move to put the basketball in his arms!
On the outside, Sharad Lewis jumped high as soon as he received the pass. Before landing, he stretched out his right hand and gave Adrian a thumbs up. Although his touch was not good for a while,
Good, but he was full of confidence in this shot, and the shot felt very smooth, and he did not suffer any interference. Willie Green immediately double-teamed Adrian, but when Lewis shot, he was too late.
Rush back.
"Shua..." The three-pointer entered the frame!
Adrian also gave Lewis a thumbs up, and when he retreated past Lewis, he waved his hand in a high-five to celebrate.
"How is this possible?" Larry Brown suddenly stood up from the coaching bench and stared at Adrian with wide eyes: "How could he pass the ball, and pass it to Lewis who failed to seize the open opportunity several times?
!”
What Larry Brown didn't know was that Adrian was born in an era where tactics were paramount. In that era, an excellent head coach had a very high status. If there was a conflict between the core players and the head coach, it was likely that the player would leave.
Not the head coach, unlike now where the head coach basically leaves.[
The management will also select and trade players according to the requirements of the head coach, instead of putting out a list and handing it over to the head coach like now. It's just these people, it's up to you.
Twenty years from now, if a general manager or team management dares to say this to a coach who has won a championship, he will probably pick up the tactical board and slap you in the face.
In that era, even the top superstars were required to obey the tactical arrangements of the head coach. When these superstars were hot-headed and "playing" randomly on the court, the head coach would not consider any so-called superstar face and immediately raised his hand and dismissed them.
You change it!
Of course, not every coach dares to do this, and not every player will be traded after a conflict with the head coach. There will still be irreconcilable conflicts between players and coaches, and eventually the coach will be fired. However,
At least, it is a trend that the status of tactics gradually surpasses that of stars.
This trend started when a Chinese head coach named Dick led a group of veterans and role players whose annual salary did not exceed four million to win two consecutive championships. In the third year, all the players who asked for high-paying contract extensions were thrown away, and then in
It gradually developed after recruiting a group of role players from the zyou market and continuing to win the championship.
In fact, after experiencing this kind of time travel himself, Adrian seriously suspected that this Dick was also a time traveler who appeared from nowhere and came to dominate with a heaven-defying artifact such as the nb modifier.
nb for several years. His existence may have accelerated or biased the development of nb.
But no matter what, born in such an era where tactics gradually occupy the supreme position, Adrian has naturally developed a playing habit that puts tactical efficiency first. After living in this era for nearly two years, Adrian has in some places
He has blended into this era, but in some places, Adrian still retains his persistence!
It is absolutely inappropriate to apply the habits and methods of the superstars of this era to Adrian.
After Andre Iguodala's breakthrough layup missed, with only three seconds left in the game, Adrian's three-pointer missed and the first quarter ended.
After returning to the team's bench, the atmosphere of the 76ers was a bit depressing. It was not just because of Adrian's consecutive scoring in the final stage of the game that the Philadelphia 76ers were now 12 points behind the Orlando Magic with a score of 36:24.
It's even more because of the lack of understanding of Larry Brown's arrangements for Adrian.
There is no doubt that Larry Brown is a master tactician. But Larry Brown's arrangement for Adrian was very strange, especially in the end, it was not as successful as Larry Brown said, but proved to be
A victory is better than a failure. Adrian released the basketball at the first opportunity.
They originally thought that when they returned to the field, Larry Brown would explain it, and at least make arrangements for the next game. But after returning to the field, they found that Larry Brown was sitting quietly in the coaching bench.
Sitting on the chair, there was a strange look on the face of deep contemplation, which made the 76ers players even more depressed.
"What's going on?" Larry Brown's heart was full of weirdness. In the situation just now, although Adrian was completely double-teamed, based on his ability, he shouldn't be able to see it.
He went to any possible offensive route and chose to pass the ball...but he just chose to pass the ball.
This kind of choice is obviously fundamentally different from the stars, stars, and superstars that Larry Brown has encountered in the past. It seems that he is different from those stars!
It seems that his most essential idea is to insist on the idea of role players according to tactics?
"How is this possible?" The more he thought about it, the weirder Larry Brown's face became. A star who insists on tactics first, a star who insists on handing the basketball to the open players instead of taking the shot himself... At the critical moment
How could a moment like this be possible by such a star?
The time between quarters passed quickly in Larry Brown's contemplation. When he came back from his contemplation, there was not much time left for her. He could only spend more playing time in the first quarter.
Andre Iguodala and several other players were replaced and rested for a while, allowing substitute players to take over, and then the players were hurriedly put on the field without even having time to arrange a single tactic. (To be continued...)
