Chapter 4 Pre-match Arrangements

I wish you all a Merry Christmas, remember to watch the Christmas battle~~~

***************

Although the news that Fang Chen became the acting head coach of the Cavaliers has been announced by the Cavaliers' official website, since he has not officially become the team's head coach, and the Cavaliers' senior executives do not want to promote the news when the team is in such a bad situation, the Cavaliers did not hold a press conference.

If Fang Chen really pulls the Cavaliers out of the quagmire, then they will definitely promote Fang Chen in high-profile manner and officially appoint him as the team's head coach.

Of course, the premise is that Fang Chen must withstand the difficult test that is standing in front of him.

And tonight, he has to face the first test of becoming the team's acting coach - the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks are in pretty good shape this season, and so far, they have won seven games slightly unexpectedly and lost only six games.

Now, they are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference and have great hopes to hit the playoffs again this season.

Although the Bucks are indeed less powerful than the current Cavaliers, fortunately, they are not much stronger. In addition, the Cavaliers are at home tonight, so they are not without any chance of winning.

This summer, the Bucks have also made some not-so-large transactions and signings that are worthy of attention. Players such as Drew Gooden, Corey Mageti and Kenyon Dulin, who are not very strong but very practical are successively included by the Bucks.

Now, the Bucks' books look quite neat. Even if Michael Reed no longer returns to the field in the next time, they already have the minimum level of trying out the Eastern Conference's strengths.

At least, the current seven wins and six losses have made many fans look forward to the Bucks, and the Bucks' senior executives are also quite satisfied with the team's current situation.

Fang Chen looked at the Bucks' player information and frowned.

It is definitely not easy to play tonight's opponent, and if you can't win the first game, then Fang Chen's prestige among the crowd will be gone.

Therefore, Fang Chen is determined to win this game tonight.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Bucks' starting lineup tonight should be: center Bogut, power forward Iliasova, small forward Bamot, shooting guard Salmons, and point guard Jennings. Although there are not too strong players here, almost all of them are at the upper and middle level, which is quite difficult, especially Bogut, Salmons and Jennings." Fang Chen looked down at the information and began to analyze in his mind how to face a strong enemy tonight.

"Sessions' defense is pretty good, and his speed is OK. I had some concerns before that I wanted to put him on the starting point guard, but he should be able to put some restrictions on Jennings, so I still believe him and let him become the starting point guard tonight! However, that Jennings is still very threatening and has a speed too fast. Almost no one in the team can keep up with his speed. It seems that he must be activated to defend against him."

Fang Chen is still cautious about Brandon Jennings. After all, the opponent's ability is indeed very good. In Fang Chen's opinion, Jennings' threat to the Cavaliers is greater than that brought by Andrew Bogut.

The Cavaliers are not a team that is good at defense. After James left, the Cavaliers' defense was even worse. If he could not defend Jennings, he would definitely use his sharp breakthrough to tear the team's defense, and the Cavaliers would be very dangerous.

If Fang Chen was the head coach of the Bucks Scott Skeles, he would definitely play Jennings, allowing him to use his strong impact to drive the entire team and make the Cavaliers' defense useless.

"Well, you have to limit Jennings. In the third position, Graham was the starting lineup of the team before. Then to attach Ray Allen's ability to him tonight, he is the best candidate for the team's starting small forward. Tonight he will be the team's first attack point. Let him talk to him later and arrange his mission tonight. As for the task of defending Bamot, let Anthony Parker in the second position help him. Parker's defense should be the strongest point in the Cavaliers' backcourt. Whether Jennings and Salmons can be limited tonight depends on him and Sessions."

Fang Chen really wanted to discuss tonight's game with the other two assistant coaches of the team, but Chris Jante and Michael Malone would definitely not give him any advice. Fortunately, Fang Chen thought about it himself.

By the time he wins the Bucks game tonight, it is estimated that Jane and Malone will also make a little more changes to themselves.

Chris Janter is different from Michael Malone. The latter has a very old experience and a bit arrogant personality, so it is not easy for Fang Chen to get his assistance.

Chris Jante is different. He is a coach who puts the team first. However, he is indeed very suspicious of Fang Chen's ability and has not yet accepted his decision to become the team's head coach.

If Fang Chen can prove himself tonight, then Chris Jante is likely to figure it out and help Fang Chen integrate the team.

After reading the information for a long time, Fang Chen's eyes became a little sore. He rubbed his eyes and continued to work.

"Although Bogut is very strong, his performance last season was close to the top five centers in the league. However, he just returned from injury this season and his condition is not very stable. Using Valaijo to defend him should have a good effect."

Fang Chen still trusts Anderson Valaijo very much.

Anderson Valejo is very active in defense, and can be said to be one of the most active players in the team and even in the entire league. His footsteps move fast, so he can always see him on the weak side to make up for defense, but Anderson Valejo is sometimes too reckless, so he needs to improve on the defensive end with good innate conditions.

On the offensive end, Anderson Valecho's style is similar to that of the "Big Bug" Rodman. It is not that he cannot attack, but that they do not need to attack.

Their task is to ensure rebounds and active defense, so people always ignore Anderson Valejo's offensive ability.

Anderson Valecho's mid-range shots are very accurate, but sometimes they are not very stable and have good singles at the basket, especially their outstanding secondary offensive ability.

This season, after James left the Cavaliers, Anderson Valecho's data rose a lot, from 8.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game last season to 10.3 points and 9.8 rebounds, and even average blocks per game increased from 0.9 last season to 1.2.

It can be said that without James' Cavaliers, the main data of each main player has improved a lot.

"In addition to Valaijo, Hickson also needs to pay attention to Bogut's defense in order to be on the safe side. This guy is just when he is strong and he is using him to defend against him, which is even more foolproof."

Fang Chen has already figured out a solution to the Bucks' important points, so he feels a little relaxed at this moment.
