0212 Let's pass and cut
Espn followed up on the report that the Thunder announced the new lineup but was treated coldly, which finally caused a lot of discussion.
A large number of fans think that the Thunder's championship was an accident. Too many jump shots, too many three-pointers, too many off-ball running, not tough at all. Defense always relies on fast rotation to solve problems. Overly relying on players to play singles on the offensive end, and luck is too good.
Many fans also believe that the referee prefers the Thunder to yell, purely because the league is to take care of the Chinese market.
The other is Rivers too naughty. The Celtics' strong lineup was actually swept by four to zero, and the crime is unforgivable.
Anyway, even if it is not an accident, it is the result of the league's manipulation. The opponent's strength is too weak, so it will inevitably be targeted in the new season.
In comparison, the Heat's Big Three gives fans unlimited imagination. Many fans think that even if LeBron and the three of them occupy a large amount of salary space, the Heat's lineup is very deformed, it will not affect the Heat's successful championship, and it will still definitely crush that.
Fans believe that in terms of paper strength alone, LeBron's overall ability is stronger than Durant, Wade's scoring ability can offset Harden and Westbrook, Bosh is far ten times stronger than Ibaka's equal score, and the Heat's substitute lineup is worse than the Thunder, but the finals all depend on the main players.
As for the chemical reaction, many fans don’t care, after all, LeBron personally promised not1not2not3…not7.
Famous commentator Stephen Aitsuyang tweeted: "Since LeBron joined the Heat that day, everyone around me has predicted that they will win the championship. Ignoring you is the defending champion, and it's time for you to come forward to prove it!"
Su Yang didn't intend to pay attention to it, but suddenly he suddenly replied: "lets see who is real champion!"
The tweet was posted, some fans liked and expressed their support, some fans thought he was taking advantage of the popularity, and some people left messages in Chinese to mock him for his grammar errors. As a great champion coach, it was simply embarrassing Chinese people and they should study English well before speaking.
The Thunder's 15-man roster was confirmed, and the speed was much faster than expected. Su Yang as usual set up off-season training points for the newly joined Barnes and others, and then set up a daily text message reminder training mini program, and then returned to China to start the inspection journey.
According to the plan, I arrived at the imperial capital for the first stop and had a talk with Mr. Lei, who had just started a business and started a smartphone. After a few hours of chatting, I promised to invest half of the five million US dollars in the championship bonus, and also expressed my willingness to serve as the future image spokesperson for North America.
In addition to investment, he also gave Mr. Lei many suggestions to avoid detours, hoping to become bigger and stronger as soon as possible and play less.
Leaving the imperial capital, Su Yang went south to enter the magic capital, first go to the branch to check the R&D progress of the MT mainland region.
If everything goes well, the Android version of MT mainland region will be promoted on Mr. Lei’s mobile phone and in-depth cooperation.
Finally, I went to the national team to report and gave many suggestions as a special consultant, but did not go to Türkiye with the team.
After a series of things, Su Yang began to travel around and occasionally took time to see the performance of the Men's Basketball World Cup.
The heated discussions caused by the Heat's three giants gradually subsided. With the release of the documentary of the Thunder's championship, some fans finally realized how the Thunder grew up, and also realized how powerful Su Yang's on-the-spot dispatch was, and found that the Thunder was stronger than before.
Mainly in the Men's Basketball World Cup, Durant's low post and back-to-body skills were further tempered. Even Westbrook took the opportunity to hone a wave of organization and mid-range shots because fiba did not defend for three seconds. That was an improvement that ordinary training could not bring, which was equivalent to playing many more games.
What worries fans of other teams the most is that in addition to Durant and Westbrook, Green and Chandler also participated in the World Cup.
The four-player run-in is better than before. Every time they appear at the same time, it is the moment when the American team is killing and killing.
What's strange is that the mainstream public opinion trend is still optimistic that the Heat will defeat the Thunder and win the championship next season. The bookmakers continue to give the Heat the highest odds to win the championship, making the Thunder a bit like the Pistons who won the championship upset that year, and their presence is quite low.
The main reason for the Thunder’s internal self-analysis is that the market is too small and has not won too many fans yet, so the voice is naturally small.
In addition, Durant and the other three are too young and have not attracted many fans yet, and their influence is too small compared to LeBron and others.
Su Yang flew back to the United States at the end of September, first went to the Silicon Valley Corporation, and then rushed back to Oklahoma to prepare for the new season.
On October 1st, the Thunder held a new season press conference, and the whole team made a healthy debut, but unfortunately only about twenty media outlets were present.
The Heat's new season press conference held earlier, and there were about 100 media attending the venue, which filled the stadium.
The difference made Durant feel particularly depressed: How did he successfully win the championship, and his influence still rank behind LeBron?
Taking advantage of the break of taking photos, Su Yang specifically told Durant: "It is difficult to change the public fans' views on a certain player, and it takes a long time. For example, when the fans thought you could not adapt to the NBA confrontation, you became the scoring champion..."
After hearing this, Durant understood it and said very firmly: "I want to completely conquer the public fans with consecutive championships!"
After taking the photo, Su Yang was interviewed by reporters, talking about the positioning of the new player, talking about the training of the only rookie Cole Aldridge, talking about Durant's impact on the MVP, talking about what role Harden plays in the new season, and talking about the issue of Green's stay or stay.
Some problems, he has already determined the plan, while others do not, need to be explored during the preseason and regular season.
The press conference ended at noon, and the Thunder started the first training session of the new season at 1:00 pm. They first did a shooting warm-up, and then there was no actual battle.
Considering that it has not been officially completed, Su Yang mixed the starter and the substitute into three teams, and first ran all the most basic off-ball screens.
Starting from the bottom cover, follow the back cover, flash-cut cover, staircase cover, horizontal cover, and take turns running. The purpose is to observe the degree of tacit understanding between players and find potential tactical cooperation objects. It is best to make some cooperation that can easily be misaligned.
For example, Harden played pick-and-roll for Green, using Harden's thick body and Green's strong ball-holding and physical fitness to play against traditional shooting guards, and he was very likely to get misaligned attack opportunities on the wings. The two often looked for opportunities to play during the bench.
After ten minutes of running, assistant coach Snyder suddenly spoke, "We mainly focus on passing and cutting, that's very suitable for us."
The assistant coach Mark and the other two nodded in agreement. The Thunder had played some passes and cuts last season, and others were European pick-and-roll attacks, double-sided separations and wheel attacks, and even triangular attacks, as well as some relatively fixed routine attacks. Then there were early attacks executed in a large number of counterattacks, mainly drawing on the classic tactics of the Suns, including a large number of bull horn tactics.
Overall, the Thunder had many offensive tactics last season and did not stick to a certain system for a long time.
Snyder added: "We have strong overall defensive reading ability, strong running ability without the ball, and many passers and ball holders. Although the passes and cuts are relatively basic, we can fully utilize everyone's abilities. Whoever has the opportunity will go..."
"You can try it in the preseason..."
Su Yang nodded in agreement, not worried that the transmission and cut tactics were too simple, and also knew that the transmission and cut tactics had many benefits, but was worried that the transmission and cut tactics would make the data of all members more even, which would weaken the accumulation of honors for Durant and Westbrook to a certain extent.
In addition, Green has not completed the renewal yet, and he also needs data to negotiate the contract. I am afraid that a bowl of water will not be easy to handle.
Coach Holzmann's clear statement: Basketball tactics are not Rockets technology, they are not that complicated, the key is to deal with people.
Chapter completed!
