Chapter 1154 Will the operation be performed as soon as it comes?
When the call was connected, it turned out that it was not the familiar voice, but his relative.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Qian was in a state of confusion.
The guy who once taught him how to attack hard at the basket... actually passed away???
Didn’t you say I was just feeling a little unwell? Why did I suddenly die all of a sudden???
Isn't he only 60 years old? This is obviously not old in this era.
Death from a heart attack??? How could this happen??? Are you kidding me???
But looking at the news on the TV and remembering the words that had just been sent to him on his mobile phone, Tang Qian had to accept this fact.
In the early morning of September 13, 2015, NBA legend and three-time MVP winner Moses Malone passed away suddenly due to a heart attack at his home in Norfolk, Virginia. He was also the second person to die of a heart attack this year.
NBA star. A month ago, Daryl Dawkins, nicknamed "Chocolate Bomb" and the originator of violent basketball, also passed away due to heart disease. Heart disease is really a basketball player
A high-risk disease, Tang Qian thought, would he die in this way one day? He couldn't tell.
Because it was too sudden, Tang Qian was a little absent-minded during today's training. To be honest, Moses Malone actually took advantage of Tang Qian. The training promised for 5 million U.S. dollars was only completed for one season.
It's really "cheap" for the latter... I hope you will remember that you still owe me money.
Good to go, Mr. Prophet.
On that day, because there was no game and Moses Malone had a very high career achievement, all major sports TV stations reported the death of Moses Malone. Barkley claimed that he received a lot of care from Moses Malone and he directly
Call him "Dad". (This is true). Because Barkley's template for joining the NBA is Moses Malone. According to him, his rebounding method was also taught by Moses Malone, so he is really good at it.
Respect him. The title "Dad" is not used lightly.
Sports Illustrated also used a large page to talk about this matter.
ESPN played the nostalgia card and started playing some precious old videos of Moses Malone.
Tang Qian also wrote on his personal Twitter and personal scarf:
Rest in peace, Mr. Prophet, you are a legend.
A few days later, the Lakers' pre-game training camp began, a week earlier than usual. This was requested by Larry Brown, and he directly said in a text message to everyone: Whoever is late will be in the preseason.
Don't even think about playing in a game.
This is really cruel. No wonder the management and players don't like this old man very much. It really makes sense.
It's completely different from D'Antoni last season.
After hard training in the offseason, Tang Qian's weight has now increased to 307.8 pounds. His strength crystal brick has broken through, rising from seven and a half to eight full pounds, and he has obtained a golden strength amplification card. Therefore, his overall strength has risen to a higher level.
A typical example is the bench press, which has stabilized at 475 pounds from 435 pounds in the offseason! In other words, his bench press has now reached a stable number of 215.4563758KG. This is already more than countless people in the NBA.
Absolute number one in active service.
This growth rate even surprised Tim Glover, because the later you go, the harder it is to increase the weight of the bench press. 10 pounds is a big threshold, but you are lucky, and you gain 40 pounds in one breath!!! This is from
An increase of 40 pounds on the basis of 435 pounds! It is not an increase of 40 pounds on the basis of dozens of pounds. It is simply a physical monster! In fact, it was not that much at first, but as soon as the crystal brick broke through, the effect was obvious immediately, and it directly improved by one
cut.
So now Tang Qian can directly say that he is at least in the top five in bench press in NBA history.
He has no opponent in the current league. In terms of upper body strength, he is currently invincible.
In addition, the tonnage has also increased by nearly 17 pounds. These are all his physical advantages. After the test, Tim Glover could only shake his head and said, this is one of the human specimens created by God, and the No. 23 of the Cavaliers.
All the same, they are not normal people.
It is rare in NBA history to achieve this level while maintaining athletic ability. Tang Qian has passed the threshold of "heavy center" and became a "behemoth center". However, the burden on physical fitness is
It was obviously aggravated, which made his physical fitness that he had been practicing hard during the offseason, and the physical crystal bricks obviously increased from seven to seven and a half, but he still only had 38 to 39 minutes of physical fitness at most. If it exceeds, his condition will decline rapidly. But
It's still much better than last year when I couldn't play 36 minutes.
If you adopt a method of releasing water on one end of the offense and defense, you can stay on the court longer.
Looking at him from a distance, he was 1 to 2 times bigger than last season, his arms were thicker, his body was bigger, and he looked very oppressive. So as soon as he walked into Toyota Sports Center, he attracted
caught the attention of many people.
Nick Young said directly: "Did you take muscle-building powder + steroids? You were already big, but now you have surpassed the 'big shark' during the Magic period, right? Your arms, my God, are hot.
You can go directly to acting in monster movies, right?" Muscle stick, Landry has also recovered from the operation, he also exclaimed with a look on his face: "Here, your arm, I'll go, I want to ask, you this bed
How much did you push? The stability set was more than 450 pounds, right?"
"It's no problem to stabilize a group with 475 pounds." Tang Qian said with a smile. The entire training ground suddenly caused a sensation because of his words.
475 pounds, so domineering. This is already the top bench press strength data in the basketball world. Even Ben Wallace, O'Neal, Karl Malone, etc. can't reach it. This is really scary. This offseason
Sure enough, the training is not in vain, the visual effects alone can give people a strong sense of oppression. And this is not the 1990s, this is an era where space insiders are dominant, and the 300+ pound "behemoth center" has the advantages of tonnage and strength.
too big.
Jimmy Butler originally felt that he was stronger, but after looking at No. 29, he forgot about it and secretly cursed Tang Qian as a pervert.
However, some people are worried: "Will it affect your athletic ability and agility?"
Tang Qian shook his head and said: "Everything is OK, I am still me, just stronger than last season."
"That's great! But if it's hot, you still have to pay attention. 300+ pounds of weight puts a huge load on the body. Many people can't feel it for a while, but in the end the body can't bear it. You..."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of my body. The offseason is over. Put away your fun. In the new season, we are ready to start fighting." Tang Qian said: "What is the goal for this season?"
"champion!"
"What???"
"champion!!"
"What is it???????"
"champion!!!"
But just after he finished speaking, an old and deep voice said slowly: "The momentum is good, but the championship is not that easy to win." Everyone turned around and saw this man wearing glasses and white hair, not this one
Who will be the new head coach this season?
"Hello, Mr. Brown." He has seniority and is old, so there is nothing wrong with calling him that.
But Larry Brown just nodded and said without any emotional fluctuations: "In the new season, everyone's position is uncertain. If you want to start, just work hard in these half months. Who can help me?"
I will marry whoever is more useful. Otherwise..." He glanced at everyone through his glasses and said, "No matter how famous he is, I will let him sit on the bench."
"Believe me, if I can say something, I will do it."
"If you don't believe it, just try it. I welcome it."
It started with a high-pressure policy, which was completely different from D'Antoni's era. Many people didn't react at first and continued the relaxed atmosphere of last season. This directly made Larry Brown say without emotion: "Look
You still have so much time and energy to be happy, so that’s great. You can do 10 more sets of return runs and 10 more sets of obstacle dribbling.” At first, everyone tolerated it, but as time went on, problems arose.
Larry Brown is indeed a guy with a "very bad reputation". Among Qian Sheng coaches, there are probably few who are worse than him. Five days later, Bosh was the first to stand up and fight back, but he didn't care at all.
, in his opinion, he has seen too much of Bosh, a celebrity, so Youyou said: "You think I want to talk about you? I really just can't stand it anymore before talking about you, you know? Look at it.
What did you do in that position just now? Did you read the tactical manual I gave you carefully? Please tell me what is written on line 17 on page 3? What made you position like that?"
"I thought it was better to do this. I thought one person could defend this attack!" Bosh also got angry and said.
Everyone wanted to persuade, but Larry Brown stretched out his hand, shook his head and said: "Then let's try it and see if your method works better or mine. Come on, don't talk nonsense, just go directly
Yes, those who talk nonsense are all cowards. There can be people with average ability in my team, but there can't be cowards. Well, there can't be any cowards." "Come here! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Bosh said today
He is the one who has been named and criticized the most. He can't bear it and thinks it's normal to lose face. After all, he was still a jerk last season? He felt unhappy when he was said so to his face.
After some practice, Bosh was completely defeated. His defensive method only succeeded 2 times out of 10 goals.
On the other side, the success rate is as high as 70%! Note that this is still using Thackeray + Randall, one is a standard "iron bench" and the other is a rookie who only played a few dozen games last year and was reimbursed for the season.
It's obviously not a very strong defensive card. "How is it? Do you know that you are a little shrimp?" Larry Brown's words are really irritating, but this is really his style. He was so good at what Milisi said back then.
Qi had a mental breakdown and said that "little potato" Nate Robinson almost beat him. It was not unreasonable. However, he simply "went his own way" and was absolutely not affected or coerced by the outside world.
In his own words, what do you think you are? The big names I have coached are much better than you, and the superstars I have watched are much more powerful than you. How can I still be afraid of you?
Bosh's face turned even red after being so publicly "slapped" by Larry Brown. He wanted to regain his face, so he shouted loudly: "Regular basketball games are not simple street games like this. They have to be 5vs5."
See the problem. Just now it’s not counted.”
"Chris, forget it, there's no need..." Before Thackeray could finish speaking, Larry Brown said: "No, let him say, let's continue playing. You know, I'm a kid like you."
I don’t take it seriously at all. From the beginning, it’s 5 vs. 5 and listen to him. Some people don’t know why they are so bad unless they are completely slapped in the face.”
"I..." Bosh has never seen a head coach speak like this. He is too tough and does not save face for the star players at all.
He actually didn't know that even in the Pistons back then, Billups said that he wanted to strangle Larry Brown to death every time he practiced. This shows how "brutal" and "cold" this old man is.
”.
The most frightening thing is that Bosh is basically the main force of the team, except that Tang Qian is not here. What about Larry Brown? There is also no Tang Qian, and they are all substitutes from last season. Originally, Bosh had some concerns.
But when he saw that the other party looked down on him so much, he was so angry that he no longer had any reason to say: "Don't blame me for not giving you face today!!!"
"You weak little guy, let's wait until you do it. Wait until you cry." After Larry Brown said this, he turned around, and then explained the candidates on his side, and then the two sides began to talk to each other.
Practice. If the "answer" Iverson were here, he would definitely tell Bosh that you were fooled. This is the situation this old man wants, and he wants to establish his authority.
Head coaches with a strong style like theirs are basically like this. When they come to a new team, the first thing they do is not to be virtuous, but to establish their authority with a cold face. To establish their supreme image in the team. Of course, this
Not everyone can play the trick, because once the trick is lost, it will have the opposite effect and the prestige will be further weakened.
But Larry Brown is not afraid at all, because he is extremely confident in defensive training, and this is not a formal game, so he can clearly explain his instructions. In the 5-minute ball, Bosh was like eating a fly
As if it was extremely uncomfortable, Larry Brown directly used Pierce to defend Bosh and induce Bosh to shoot. Once the shot failed, almost all rebounds came from here.
Tang Qian looked on and saw some clues. It was not a lie that he and Kobe often spent time in the "video room" this offseason.
Why is Larry Brown's rebounding so good? It's because their positioning is very clear. They don't care about their own data at all. They all hit people. They don't even look at where the ball lands. They first block the position and then the landing spot.
After coming out, the person closest to the landing point will grab the rebound. What about the rest? Go over together to help block people! This set is really difficult to use well in the main lineup, because everyone subconsciously wants to show that they want to
Beautiful statistics, but the substitutes were different and lacked ability, so obedience was very important. Therefore, they took advantage of the rebounding. This method was very popular in the Pistons back then. Obviously, the tallest person was not 7 feet tall.
But in terms of rebounding, his performance is excellent, that is, he has clear blocking and blocking. The more civilian the team is, the higher the execution ability.
On the other hand, Bosh's side is fighting on its own, and has a poor sense of helping his teammates. In addition, Bosh's own rebounding has long been inferior to before, so he is at a disadvantage. Then you can see, Larry Brown.
Everyone here is mobile. As long as the offense breaks in, it will inevitably form a double-team and help the defense. It is extremely determined. And you can keep listening to Larry Brown on the sidelines: "Move faster and defend harder."
, don’t be afraid of fouling, if anyone dares to retreat, get out of here!”
Hard! This is the characteristic of Larry Brown's coaching of the Pistons, and also the characteristic of his coaching of the Pacers in the 1990s.
You may not be capable enough, but you must not "shrink". Even if someone else comes over with an elbow, you must hold your position for me!
He almost had the same style in the NCAA, such as UCLA in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the iron-blooded Kansas throughout most of the 1980s. It was basically like this. It was hard, very hard, and the team was absolutely unreliable from top to bottom.
soft!
Whoever is soft will get out.
Therefore, Larry Brown doesn't like many European big men because he thinks they are too soft.
Therefore, he is actually a bit "prejudiced".
This is one of his shortcomings.
Unless you break his "preconceptions" and smash his face, he won't change any of his initial views on you at all.
Iverson once described this clearly.
Playing with Larry Brown means either obeying or constantly fighting.
In five days, these substitutes were turned into "chess pieces" by him, and they could do whatever he ordered.
You said you want "creativity" and "autonomy"? That's fine. If you can blow his face, he'll give it to you. Otherwise, you'd better just be a "chess piece" quietly. This "chess piece" is here
It is a "neutral word". It requires players with insufficient ability to use absolute obedience to maximize their overall ability and overall chemical reaction. This is also a coaching strategy. Things like "creativity" and "autonomy" are yours alone.
Role players and substitutes are indeed not needed.
Otherwise, Meeks from the original time and space would be the best template. To give them this kind of "freedom" would be to find their own fault.
Furthermore, Tang Qian could see that this guy was a devout implementer of the theory of "the so-called playoffs are half-court offense and defense". Even, if possible, Tang Qian felt that he wanted to turn "regular season" into "
Playing in the playoffs. This coaching style is incompatible with many people. It is not suitable for ordinary stars, nor for rookies, but more suitable for civilian teams.
Both ordinary stars and rookies need to perform, and the reasons for inappropriateness are readily apparent.
A civilian team is more obedient. His and Jackson's triangle offense requires freedom and creativity, which are completely opposite.
This old man's obsession with details has long been ingrained in his bones.
He is the kind of person who will angrily reprimand and call a timeout whenever he makes a mistake. He will not give you any tolerance for "learning to make mistakes" and "learning to deal with" on the court. Unless, again, your ability is really beyond your ability, then
There is also the possibility of getting special privileges. For example, Allen Iverson back then. In this pre-game training camp, the old man not only wants to see the coachability of this group of people, but also wants to see what the future of this team should ultimately be.
How to build.
Should we completely follow the path of the Pistons, the Pacers, the 76ers, or...
Don't really think that he is stubborn, he just wants to see how this team needs him to coach best.
His ability to adjust has led so many teams to the playoffs. From the 1970s to 2011, how many rule changes have he easily adapted to? If he didn't have the ability to adapt, then it is estimated that there will be no change in the history of the NBA.
No one has it.
Different teams mean different coaching methods, and different eras mean different coaching styles.
This is why the "magician" invited him over.
The stubbornness of this "old guy" will only be reflected in "ordinary players".
He also knows how to give the green light to players who are "beyond mortal level".
If we say "Magic Counter" Riley's style is to squeeze the star's ability to the limit, completely ignoring the opponent's changes.
Larry Brown integrates civilian abilities to the maximum extent and uses the whole body to fight against the so-called superstar team.
And it is different from Princeton in that it focuses on defense and has a completely different focus.
This game was actually very ugly, very unsightly, with too many physical fights and interruptions, but... Larry Brown finally won the game. Won 1 goal out of 10 goals. But...
Looking at the team's lineup, it was a huge victory. Even the substitute players couldn't believe that their side had won.
This "old man" has indeed adapted to the league's style of play, avoiding body hair to the greatest extent and remaining tough to the end.
He is just a Thackeray, and Dunima feels a little bit used by him. When it comes to activating the defensive ability of "civilian players", he is really very strong. Veteran Pierce is also very adaptable to this method. Within the rules,
Maximize high-intensity pressure and defense. When he was in the Green Army, he also used this method to win the championship.
At that time, Hand-g had long been implemented, so there was no way of playing in this era that could not be used for high-intensity defense. The defensive system had just begun, and it shocked everyone. If it is combined and practiced more, it would be completed.
Learning and adapting to this system, is this enough?
"How's it going? You lose, right? You're a coward! Go ahead and run 20 groups back and forth from the baseline. No rest until you finish."
Bosh was extremely angry, but a loss was a loss. Their lineup was clearly superior and they still lost. What else could he say? He threw the basketball and ran back with anger. Just when everyone thought that the whole set was going to happen.
At the end, Larry Brown suddenly said to Laker No. 29, who was watching the game: "What? Tyrant? You want to try too?"
Sure enough, it was the same trick again. He wanted to show Tang Qian's worth. If that didn't work, I'm sorry, but he would just come over and be a "chess piece".
It's not that he doesn't know how to play superstar ball, it just depends on whether the person is qualified.
