() Chen Jie in Philadelphia is not as comfortable as Jessica thought.
The flight arrived at Philadelphia at ten o'clock in the morning. At noon, the Bulls team arrived at the station. There was no rest at all. Scales immediately organized a training.
In fact, Skiles has never been a strict coach, but during such continuous away trips, he has experience and must not relax. Once the players are allowed to rest and relax, it is very difficult to tighten up.
Of course, he did not arrange too intensive training. He focused more on recovery, finding the feeling, analyzing the game video, and explaining the opponent's situation in the next game.
Analyzing game videos is a method that many NBA coaches like to use. On the court, players may not find their own problems, but sitting off the court and looking at their own performance, as long as they are not indifferent players like Eddie Curry,
Basically, there will be gains.
This kind of gain is better than direct indoctrination from the coach.
What Skiles played today was the video of the last game against the Lakers. In the eyes of many media, this game was brilliant. However, in Skiles' view, both teams were exposed a lot.
problem.
However, the Lakers' problems have nothing to do with him. That is something Tomjanovich needs to consider. But the Bulls' problems are not small.
There are two main ones. One is the team's offense when Chen Jie is on fire.
In fact, in the game against the Lakers, Chen Jie played very well and did not misfire, which also ensured the final victory. However, in the second and first quarters, when Chen Jie did not take the initiative to take on the scoring task, the Bulls' offense
, encountered some problems. Although it seemed that the last hundred points were scored a lot, and the first half was also fifty points. However, that is because the game is fast-paced and the success rate is still very low.
Now Chen Jie has outstanding scoring ability, and no one in the league can stop him. Even Kobe Bryant can only tie with him. This makes Chicago fans full of confidence and hope. In their view, with Chen Jie here, what kind of playoffs will it be?
It's not what they want. Some fans are even starting to think about the championship.
But in Skiles' view, this is not a good phenomenon, because in his view, Chen Jie cannot perform like this in a season. After all, he is a human being, not a god, and will have ups and downs in form, and,
As a rookie, it is the first time he has played such a long season, and his state in the playoffs is very worrying. Furthermore, Chen Jie has gradually excelled in his performance, and has gradually entered the attention of many teams in the league. Now,
Therefore, Chen Jie seemed unstoppable. This was because the opponent underestimated the enemy and had not yet studied Chen Jie's characteristics. When the game slowly entered the second half of the regular season, the league teams began to defend Chen Jie more specifically.
At that time, even if Chen Jie could still maintain good performance, he would not be as crazy as he is now.
After Chen Jie is restricted, how will the Bulls adjust their offense.
Eddie Curry on the inside is a complete genius. If he performs well, he is just fine. If he performs poorly, it will not only not be helpful but will be a disservice. Chandler's defensive ability is good, but his offensive ability cannot be complimented. Hinrich
Preferring to stop, Luer Deng can score points, but he is not the first choice to destroy the city.
Of course, if the four people can combine the inside and outside, they can still perform well. But now, the key is that the Bulls' inside and outside lines do not have much cooperation. Except for the outside players to lob the ball to the inside players, and the inside players to pick and roll for the outside players, the Bulls'
There is basically no cooperation between the inside and outside lines. The cooperation between inside and outside lines that combines the inside and outside lines to deeply attack the opponent's defensive system that Scales hopes to see is rare.
In this case, the offense depends on individuals, which is too unstable. You can't count on touch and explosion in every game.
The second big problem is defense.
If only, in the last game, the Bulls scored close to 120 points, and the Lakers also broke through the 100-point mark. Of course, Kobe's scoring was the main reason. But this also exposed that the Bulls did not have a single defender on the outside.
Problem. Chen Jie's defense is very active, but the need for him on the offensive end also limits his ability to become this kind of player. Luer Deng is too thin, Du Hong is not tall, and Griffin is a bit old. And
The way to solve this problem, in addition to signings, is to strengthen the defensive system. Skiles has never given up on this. But in fact, the Bulls' points loss is now fifth in the league. This
Not a good honor!
To sum up, Skiles gave a summary to the players. The Bulls are not a strong team now. In time, they will have the strength to compete for the championship, but definitely not now. He gave the Bulls a definition, called
A pseudo-strong team. It plays well and looks very strong, but may collapse in the face of a tough battle.
This can be regarded as Skiles cooling down the Bulls players. The recent wave of winning streak has made not only the fans, but also many Bulls players feel a little elated.
However, faced with such a group of disapproving young people, Scales didn't know whether his earnest words had any effect.
Maybe, letting them encounter some setbacks is also a good growth experience. Such smooth sailing is not good!
This thought came to Skiles' mind.
However, thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Jie with a wry smile on his face.
He knew that the winning streak in these games was inseparable from Chen Jie. Before he returned to the team, the Bulls had lost three consecutive games. Although his outstanding performance made Skiles happy, it also concealed the
The team has too many problems!
Skiles let out a long sigh and ended the discussion on the game tape.
He even suspected that the current Bulls team suffered from "Jay Sean dependence syndrome."
This means that with Chen Jie here, the Bulls are in every possible situation, but without Chen Jie, the Bulls are useless.
As a coach, Skiles knows that although Chen Jie is important, it is not important to this extent yet.
However, under the influence of the media and Chen Jie's performance, many Bulls players, and even Chen Jie himself, now seem to have this illusion.
Being too dependent on one player is not a good thing.
Even if the league still can't find a way to restrict Chen Jie by the end of the season, what if Chen Jie gets injured? Wouldn't the Bulls be doomed?
The fans can cheer and imagine victory as much as they want, but as the head coach, Skiles must prepare for a rainy day!
He even had an idea in his mind, which was to slowly reduce Chen Jie's playing time.
Of course, a game will not be shorter than thirty minutes, but Chen Jie's influence must also be gradually diluted. In this way, not only other Bulls players can get exercise, but Chen Jie can also get a rest. The most important thing is that when he is present,
Next, Chen Jie can observe the game situation, which is very helpful for him to become a true leader!
