After dealing with the injury problem, Deng Fang coughed lightly and continued: "Okay, let's talk about our focus in the new season and the tasks of the training camp."
"We will focus on two things in the new season. One is three-point shooting training, and the other is defensive drills."
"What is the essence of a basketball game? It is to put the ball into the basket. The question is how to put it in? The closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage. This is something everyone knows."
"The problem is that you know this, and the opponent also knows that they will definitely focus on defense under the basket. In this case, they still have to go in for one-on-two, one-on-three, or want to play small and big under the basket. That is not forceful.
, that’s stupid! It’s a very unwise choice.”
"Then you don't want to go under the basket? No, if you want to go in, the question is how to get in."
"If you want to get to the basket and score points, you must let your opponents come out and leave their basket empty. When you get in, there will be no one under the basket, or there will only be a defender inside. In this way, your goal will be achieved."
"How to let the opponent come out? By the way, three points!"
"If each of us can have a high three-point shooting percentage outside and everyone shoots decisively, then the opponent will have to save it! In this way, it will be much easier for us to get to the basket."
"So, one of the focuses of our training this year is three-pointers."
"How to share the ball, how to create better three-point opportunities, and whether you can decisively shoot when the opportunity arises, these are the focus of our training."
"Other than that is defense. Defense wins championships. I believe everyone knows this, so we have to work hard on defensive drills!"
"The most important thing on the defensive end is tacit understanding. Replacing positions and switching defenses all require tacit understanding, and tacit understanding requires constant grinding."
"The most important position on the defensive end is the center. He is the last barrier on the defensive end. Different centers have different defensive styles. Our team has three centers and their defensive styles are different. For this reason, we must put the defensive system in
Fine-tune it when appropriate to adapt to different opponents."
"So, this year's training camp mainly focuses on two things, one is three-pointers and the other is defense."
"This year's training camp is a little different from previous years. One of the purposes of previous years was to determine the team lineup. This year there is no need. We will use these 12 people to play until the end of the season, so everyone here can relax and work hard.
Just train.”
"For the coaching staff, the training camp has only one purpose, which is to select a suitable starting lineup and the rotation time of the substitutes."
"We examine who is more suitable to start at each position and who deserves more playing time. We mainly look at three things, one is three-pointers, the other is defense, and the third is sharing the ball."
"If any one of these three is particularly weak, he will have to be a substitute. If each has his or her own strengths, the coaching staff will consider them comprehensively. Different matches may have different starters."
"The last sentence is that you have earned your starting position and playing time yourself, and it is the same for everyone! Every drop of your sweat is seen by the coaching staff!"
After saying that, Deng Fang signaled Hunter to start the first step of training: warming up.
Generally speaking, the specific training is led by the assistant coach.
The warm-up activities were completed quickly.
Next is shooting training.
Now that the head coach has clarified the tasks, the direction for the players' efforts is clear.
Every player takes shooting training very seriously.
Facts have proved that as long as you work hard and work hard, nothing is impossible.
Even if you are not top-notch in some aspects, you should still be able to achieve average level.
Of course, when everyone works hard, the difference in talent is very obvious.
If nothing else, Curry is unique among the crowd!
Belinelli is already a very powerful marksman, but he still sees the gap in front of Curry!
Others look at how many three-pointers they made, but Curry looks at how many he missed!
It's just accurate, and the hand speed is extremely fast!
It's just that his hand speed is too fast. Others are catching the ball and shooting accurately, but his shooting percentage drops significantly after dribbling.
Curry is just as accurate when catching the ball and shooting as he is dribbling and shooting!
Within a few minutes, all the team members were convinced by the cute god Curry!
With Curry's shooting speed, it is difficult for anyone to interfere with him.
Radmanovic has even begun to ask Curry about his personal life: How many years have you been single to achieve this...
In addition, the gap in shooting talent between Lopez and Jordan is also very obvious.
Lopez's three-point shooting rate during training is almost the same as Jordan's free throw shooting rate!
After the shooting training, there is a tactical explanation, first offensive tactics, then defensive tactics.
After more than two months of careful study, coupled with personal practice in the summer league, Deng Fang has no problem in this regard.
The most important thing is that through many years of watching football, Deng Fang, as a time traveler, knows each player very well and knows what level each player can play and what their respective characteristics are.
If there are many young people in the team, the coach's dilemma is often that he doesn't know what level his players can perform at.
Too many lottery picks with high expectations never panned out, and many second-round picks skyrocketed once they were given a chance.
Which player should be given more opportunities?
Should we give this player a chance?
Is this player's performance today a flash in the pan or a normal level?
This is the biggest headache for most coaches.
Because every player develops and changes.
If you look from now to the future, every player has unlimited possibilities.
But there is only so much playing time, and there are only five spots in the starting lineup. As a coach, you always have to make choices.
Once you get it wrong, it is likely to cause disharmony in the team.
Deng Fang did not have this problem.
He knows the true strength of each player.
All that's left is to motivate the players and let them fully express themselves.
Based on the results of the shooting training, Deng Fang first selected five starters: Curry, Laga Bell, Azubuike, Prince and Lopez.
Of course, Deng Fang also said that this is temporary and the specific starting lineup will be decided after the training camp is over.
In fact, Deng Fang knew in his heart that unless a miracle happened, these five people would start the game.
However, Deng Fang could not say these words.
The team members must be allowed to compete with each other so that they can always have a sense of crisis, so that they can work harder in training and on the field.
There is no way, most people are lazy.
The starting lineup has been decided, and the substitutes have also come out: DeAndre Jordan, Livingston, Tolliver, Belinelli, Radmanovic.
Two people left: Antoine Moreau and Turiaf
Jordan is still more useful than Turiaf on the defensive end, and more worthy of training. In addition, several players on the bench are generally not good at defense, and more defensive centers are needed, so Turiaf can only be the third center position.
Substituted.
Belinelli is more reliable and more experienced than Anthony Morrow, so Anthony Morrow can only be used as the third substitute at the shooting guard.
