But on the second day, when major media published the news, it was not a huge amount of praise.

Except for a small number of media, especially those who are extremely close to UCLA, praised the players.

More media have focused on the changes in UCLA's tactical style.

"You can win with offense, but you can't win the championship!"

"Crazy offense, is Steve an idol or old Nelson?"

"The next time I face the powerful Duke, UCLA will understand that defense is the key to winning."

...

You should know that in this era, everyone, including coaches, media, and even players, has extremely confident in defense.

Even though this is not the 1990s, since the new century, there has never been a shortage of supporters for the defense to win the championship.

In the entire NBA, no coach will give up on defense except a mad scientist.

Especially Larry Brown, Stan Van Gundy and others, they are even more obsessed with defense to a terrifying situation.

In their opinion, the team can lose, but the defense must not be bad.

As for how to win?

As long as your defense can make the opponent's offense worse than you, you will naturally win.

In this era, there were many people who believed in this principle, including a large number of commentators and media people.

Therefore, when UCLA's playing style attracted attention, it naturally caused a lot of discussion.

Moreover, most of them are criticism, especially the criticism of the team's head coach Steve Lavin.

In addition, in addition to advocating offense, UCLA relies heavily on shooting, especially three-pointers.

There is no way, the strong center in the inside is impossible to let a blue-collar player drill in.

Chen Mo and Capono are not the kind of assault players. They can't just put their excellent shooting ability without using it and go to the inside to die.

There are also Cedric and Thompson, who can rush in, but their success rate is obviously not good.

But media people don’t care about this, they only know that UCLA’s playing style makes them unsatisfied.

In this era, in addition to believing in defending and winning the championship, there is also a mid-range shot that wins.

Now, UCLA has made all the mistakes. Not only does it have no defense, but even the shooting is mainly three-pointers.

You said you can't take another step forward and make 2 points?

Well, Chen Mo is really incomprehensible. How much difference can the shooting rate be if he has two or three points in one step?

Take the mid-range shot winning game as an example. How many people can do it?

Jordan, Malone?

Let’s talk about Jordan. The mid-range shot of this basketball god is close to 50%, or even more than 50% of the shooting percentage all year round.

Who else can do?

Kobe, the player who is known as the most Jordan, has how many shooting percentages are there in the mid-range shooting?

45%.

If it is a mid-range and long-distance mid-range shooting, the shooting rate is even worse, only more than 40%.

Kobe's scoring ability is comparable to Jordan, thanks to his three-pointer that far surpasses Jordan.

Except for UCLA's own media, all other newspapers criticized UCLA.

Among them, the one who was criticized the most was naturally head coach Steve Laven and two core players.

However, the affected team is far from these three people, but the entire team.

To be honest, this is very terrible. Once you have doubts about your own playing style, how can you play it?

"Chan, don't believe those idiots' words, we have no problem playing style."

Look, Steve Laven comforted Chen Molai just after he arrived at the training hall.

In his opinion, Capono is a senior after all, and his psychological quality is far better than Chen Mo.

"I know what we are doing, don't worry, coach."

Chen Mo naturally knew that three-pointers not only could win the championship, but also win many championships.

Especially with the emergence of Ritian, three-pointers have led to an era.

Thinking back then, when looking at the thin Ritian classmate, the first thing Chen Mo thought of was: he could replace him!

Now that he finally got this opportunity, Ritian is still acting cute, so he naturally won’t be polite.

"Chen, don't worry. Even if there is anything wrong, it is the fault of me, the coach. After all, the tactics were arranged by me."

Well, which one needs comfort?

After all, with the limitations of the times, it is impossible for a coach like Steve Laven to pick out the constraints of the times.

The reason why he did this was just to keep the position of coach, but he was helpless!

Moreover, now they have already started, and they have no chance to go back on their word, so they can only keep going.

"Don't believe those idiots, what do they know? A group of guys who only rely on their mouths.

If they have the ability, why can't they enter the NBA and why can't they be coaches?

What's more, the NCAA's three-pointers are just two-pointers in the NBA, so we did nothing wrong."

...

Well, in the end, Coach Steve was a little unconfident and could only make excuses.

Fortunately, he showed his coach's responsibility, and in the past few days of media interviews, he resisted the responsibility.

"This is my tactical arrangement, I ask the team members to fight like this."

"NCAA is not a professional team. Our players have a lot of mobility, maybe one year, maybe two years, who knows?

We must arrange tactics according to actual situations, rather than find people from a tactical perspective.”

"As the head coach, I will take responsibility. Winning is the result of everyone's efforts, and losing is my responsibility."

"Will I leave after this season? I don't know, I'm focusing on this season now."

...

However, it is definitely a huge challenge to fight Duke University next.

Duke University is located in North Carolina, affiliated to the Atlantic Division and is an old-fashioned team in the NCAA.

In 2001, Duke University won the NCAA Championship under the leadership of Bathir and others.

Even with Bathir, Dunleavy and others in the NBA today, this team is still very strong.

Chris Duhon, Dundejones, Shafrick Randolph, these are all stars in the NCAA.

This year, Duke University has attracted many high school star players to join, and its strength has been improved again.

For example, Sheldon Williams, a superstar who can threaten Shafrick's starting position as soon as he enters college.

Sheldon Williams will be the core of the Blue Devils' inside line in the next four years.

Of course, the most dazzling one is not him, but JJ Redick, who is still sitting on the bench.

This player who will win all the glory during college can only sit on the bench now.

Of course, there is another person who cannot ignore Duke University.

Mike Shashevsky, a coach at Duke University, has coached at Duke University for more than 20 years.

As far as Chen Mo knows, he is likely to continue coaching, for example, another 20 years.

Every team facing Duke University has a headache for players on the court, and the head coach.
