"Design a tactic around a substitute?!" McHale looked at Morey like he was a lunatic. "Are you crazy?"
Morey did not look at McHale, but continued to look at Wen Hao on the court: "The tactics surrounding substitutes have not happened before, such as the Knicks' super sixth man Jr. and the Spurs' sixth man Manu Ginobili.
Don’t they all have tactics that revolve around them? When the team’s conventional tactics fail, using their unconventional weapons can often produce miraculous results.”
"Jr? Ginobili? Who are those people? They are even stronger than the main players when they play. Do you think Wen Hao has reached their level?"
"What's wrong with trying? After all, one more tactic means one more way to survive."
"Okay, even if I agree with your statement, players like Wen Hao have poor execution. Do you think any coach will use such a player?" McHale was slightly angry.
"I know you were upset about Wen Hao not playing according to your style last night, but the problem is that his style of play was quite effective, with 22 points, and he was facing a defensive team like the Grizzlies.
Under the leadership of the Rockets, doesn't it explain some problems? Even if you don't want to put him into the regular lineup, you can design several tactics for him and keep him as an unconventional weapon like Crawford of the Clippers.
, isn’t it also very good?”
"I told you that you are responsible for recruiting people, and I will handle the rest. Are you going to overstep your authority again?" McHale said with a dark face, "Tell you, not only will I not design any tactics for him, but I will also compress his
In terms of playing time, he was even benched. No matter how good he is, it will be in vain if he has no execution ability."
"Alas..." Morey sighed, shrugged, and made a helpless expression, "The boss asked you to do this."
When he heard the word "boss", the corners of McHale's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he sighed helplessly: "The Rockets will one day be defeated by these guys."
Morey looked at McHale's seemingly sluggish figure, smiled and shook his head, with a "You forced me to" expression.
When today's training ended, McHale called the Rockets over and said, "I designed two sets of tactics today. You all should take a closer look."
After hearing this, the Rockets players all became excited. One more set of tactics means that the Rockets have one more way to save their lives at critical moments. Therefore, every time a new tactic comes out, the players learn it very hard, and this time it is not the same.
exception.
Even Harden, the Rockets' big star, came over and said with a smile: "Boss, do you have a new tactic?"
Everyone in the Rockets looked at Harden. They knew that generally speaking, the Rockets' tactics must revolve around Harden or World of Warcraft. They just designed a set of tactics around Warcraft a few days ago, and today will definitely be about Harden's tactics.
Already.
Harden naturally knows this too. Although his expression cannot be seen clearly due to the big beard covering his face, he can see the pride in his eyes.
McHale sighed and spoke slowly: "Today's tactics have nothing to do with you."
Everyone on the Rockets was surprised when they heard this, and even Harden himself was a little surprised. It had nothing to do with him, so could it be another tactic for Warcraft? Thinking of this, Harden rolled his eyes at Warcraft and said, "I'm taking advantage of you again."
Warcraft laughed twice and said, "I can't help it, I have a good character."
Harden glared at Warcraft again.
McHale didn't even raise his head and said, "It's none of Howard's business."
"ah?"
As a result, the Rockets generals were greatly surprised. If it wasn't Harden or Howard, who could it be? It couldn't be Parsons, right?
McHale's expression became even more ugly and his voice was low: "The core of these two tactics is Wen Hao."
"What?"
"Wen Hao?!"
Everyone in the Rockets was horrified. They designed tactics specifically for a substitute player. Did the head coach take the wrong medicine? You must know that there are very few tactics specifically designed for substitute players in the entire league. Even the Knicks have tactics designed for Jr.
But that tactic was just a simple one with others pulling apart and Jr. playing alone, and it was not too complicated. Now the coach actually wants to design two sets of tactics for Wen Hao. What a joke. Even Wen Hao himself looked at it in surprise.
Head coach.
Harden's face turned gloomy for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and looked at the tactical board, pretending to be listening carefully.
But McHale's next words sent Harden into an ice cellar.
"James, these two tactics are without you."
"..." After McHale finished speaking, the entire training hall fell silent. Everyone in the Rockets looked at McHale in confusion, and then looked at Harden carefully. It's no big deal that there is no trump card in a set of tactics. This is a big joke.
Well. It was said before that the protagonists of the strategy were not Harden and Howard. Everyone was surprised. But now, Harden can't even participate. This...
Harden was shocked and angry, but he didn't want to get angry on the spot. He just looked at the coach with burning eyes.
McHale explained: "James, your style of play requires you to have the ball in your hands, and these two tactics are all about giving the ball to Wen Hao, so you don't need to participate."
In fact, McHale's subtext is: When you don't have the ball, Harden will just stand there motionless like a dead man. It's a waste of spots to play. It's better to just find a substitute to play.
Of course, McHale naturally did not dare to explain this. In the eyes of everyone's surprise and confusion, he said: "The first set of tactics is to pull the others to one side and let Wen Hao play in low singles. His virtual and actual
The footwork is completely capable of fighting one on one, or even one on two."
McHale did not have confidence in Wen Hao's strength, but in the virtual and real steps he had created.
After a pause, he continued: "The second set of tactics is even simpler. Wen Hao is the one-on-one duel with others pulling away. His breakthrough ability is enough for one-on-one. Of course, this can also be mixed with some
We will discuss the pick-and-roll inside in detail later. What needs to be practiced now is for others to cover Wen Hao so that he can get into position in the low post, and it is best to do it one-on-one."
After everyone in the Rockets heard this, they suddenly realized that the coach had taken a fancy to Wen Hao's footwork.
In fact, part of the reason why McHale designed tactics for Wen Hao was because he had to listen to what his boss said, and part of the reason was because Wen Hao learned the virtual and real steps. As the founder of the virtual and real steps, he naturally hopes that the virtual and real steps can be passed down and passed down.
Carry forward, now that Wen Hao has learned the steps of virtual and real, it is natural to give him a chance.
Therefore, McHale is very conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he does not want to use the disobedient Wen Hao. On the other hand, he also wants to carry forward his true and false steps. In this ambivalence, Wen Hao is left with a chance to survive.
