Chapter 875 Dream Back to 1985(1/2)
Since the training camp, the players of the Dream Team have always smiled playfully and never taken it seriously.
They have the strength to do so.
Louis has no doubt that when they go to Barcelona in this state, they can also play teams from other countries like football.
But in this case, the meaning of forming a dream team is not that great.
From a macro perspective, standing in the entire history of basketball, the significance of the Dream Team is not just a group of the best people in the world forming a team. Their existence transcends basketball itself, like evangelists who promote the best players in this sport.
One side spreads to the world.
To do this, they must first correct their attitude.
If they don't know how to behave, Louis will help them.
In Louie's previous life, Chuck Daly caused them to lose this game against college students.
Although he didn't know how it was done, Louis intentionally copied it.
However, the current player structure of this dream team is more complex and stronger than Louis' previous life.
They have Wilson, Sampson, Thomas and a healthier Larry Bird.
The strength of the college students has also increased. They have two professional players to help - Stockton and Pippen will help, but to compete with the Dream Team, Louis still needs to do some work.
Before the game started, Louis and his coaching staff, as well as the head coach responsible for coaching the mixed star team of college and professional players - the future head coach of the University of North Carolina and the current head coach of the University of Kansas Roy Williams - conducted a
rigorous analysis.
Based on the characteristics of the dream team, the game plan was quickly formulated.
Louis deliberately fielded a team with obvious shortcomings.
The Tragedian, Jordan, Wilson, Barkley, Bird.
Why were these five men sent? Louis did not give a reason.
No one objected.
Because Louis said: "The opponent is just a college student. You should be able to win casually, right?"
"His grandma's!" Buckley said confidently, "That's for sure!"
"I don't think so." David Robinson said like a divine messenger, "If we are too complacent and careless, God will punish us with failure."
Louis shrugged and gave Tomjanovich an "I fucking hate him" look.
"Okay, David, just watch with God how we teach those college students!" Buckley said arrogantly, "I'm already thinking about which donuts to order tonight. What do you think of crispy cream donuts?"
How about (Krispy Kreme doughnuts)?”
Louis prayed in his heart.
Let this game be Barkley's life's "I'm already studying this MSI opponent" game.
Before they went on the field, Louis specifically called out to Wilson.
"Although our primary goal in the match is to win, it is not just about victory or defeat. You have to give John enough stage." Louis hopes Wilson will give Pippen some shoes, "Let him play better than Scotty."
Wilson smiled confidently: "Leave it to me."
"Your injury is just right. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it." Louis finally said.
"Don't worry, coach." Wilson turned around and said, "I haven't played a good game in many days, and my hands are itchy."
The starting lineup of the mixed team is Stockton, Alan Houston, Pippen, Webber and Montrose.
From the beginning of the game, the mixed team followed the game plan designed by Louis and others.
First, Stockton confronts the Tragedian.
The tragic player who has not played a formal game for more than a year and has not trained systematically for a whole year. Although he still feels the game, his physical condition is very poor, and his defense against Stockton is always one step away.
When playing against him, Stockton doesn't need to pick and roll, he can just dribble past him without any ambiguity.
Stockton didn't pass the Tragedyman just to hit the basket, because facing the Dream Team, even if Louis didn't put the center in the starting lineup, the help defense of Jordan and Wilson was enough to give him a drink.
Therefore, the plan of the mixed team is to create a breakthrough in the tragic player, attract help from the defense, and then pass the ball to the shooter.
Wilson was indeed "fooled".
He rushed over with the momentum to block Stockton, completely abandoning Houston.
Stockton made a clever pass to the ground.
Houston scores a field goal.
And Chris Webber also followed Louis' plan to imitate Europe's number one insider Sabonis.
Jordan obviously didn't use any force.
In the NBA, Jordan would concentrate on whether he was facing strong opponents or weak teams.
However, the opponent in this confrontation obviously does not need his contribution.
There was no audience, and he didn't have the habit of performing to the best of his ability in front of an empty audience.
Although Monica Bellucci was charming, she was someone else's wife, and she had a camera with her and no idea what she was filming.
What’s good about this game?
Jordan walked on the court and Louis didn't care.
The tragedy master was excited to fight back. This was his first competition in more than a year.
However, the teammates around him are different from the Lakers.
He didn't understand how Barkley liked to play, but he could see that Jordan had no intention of performing, so it was difficult to hit the ball comfortably.
After several mistakes, the mixed team actually scored 8-0 under the leadership of Stockton.
Afterwards, Louis made an adjustment.
Replace Bird and Jordan, who were just about to get serious, and replace them with Ewing and David Robinson, preparing to increase the intensity of the opponent.
The intensity of the inner line changes instantly.
Except for Weber, the other two college insiders are free.
Wilson knew very well that the mixed team was trying to score points, so every time the Tragedy Division was broken through, he taught on the spot what excessive help defense was.
However, his acting skills are so realistic.
It made Stockton really think he was trying to defend himself.
Stockton was frightened by his help defense and missed several passes.
This is also the reason why the Dream Team's inside pressure has greatly increased after Ewing and Robinson came on the court.
"Do you want to guard against me so much?" Stockton asked.
Wilson was stunned.
"I don't think so." Wilson didn't expect that his good intentions were in vain. "Use your brain, General."
Fortunately, the other members of the dream team underestimated this group of college students.
Barkley was just playing around, just to be happy, and didn't look at his teammates when he got the ball.
Weber's defense made Louis' eyes shine.
In his impression, Webb was a tough guy on the defensive end.
Why is he so tough right now? I can’t say the defense is particularly good, but it’s not a loophole.
As the "big prize" in next year's draft, Weber will be the top pick no matter which year he participates in the draft in the next three years.
If he chooses to participate in the draft as a freshman this year, he will surpass Mourning and become this year's second overall pick.
As the player with the most development potential among the Michigan Five, the media's hype for him is second only to O'Neal.
Now it seems that he and Jokic are like two sides of the same coin.
In Jokic's era, professional basketball has allowed him to dominate everyone as the core of the offense like a defender.
But Weber couldn't.
Don Nelson made some outrageous remarks in Louis' eyes - he said that if he could get Webb, he would become the center of the team.
He plans to develop Webber into a Bill Walton-type player.
This is a bit weird.
To say that he pushed Barkley to the ground and beat him in this game is not an exaggeration at all.
Louis was as frightened as watching the God of Fire beating Stephen Chow.
Even then, that guy Buckley was still laughing.
"Well done, young man. Really good."
After Stockton, Bob Hurley came on the scene.
He and Weber successively supported the offense of the mixed team, but one relied on his personal ability, and the other relied on his innate leadership and organizational skills.
