In Zhenzhong's gymnasium, Xu Jie's words made Lin Lei and Fan Jun think.
Lin Lei rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
"Old Xu, your point of view is not difficult to understand, but it is the perspective of thinking that we most easily ignore."
"You are right. How many high school students aged 17 or 18 can endure the hardships of military management and training?"
"Most people can't even endure military training, let alone years of military management and training!"
"But the 12-man roster of the Beimen school team is made up of 12 students who can endure that kind of hardship. Their perseverance is indeed ignored by many people."
"Basketball is still a team sport after all."
"A team in which all players are able to follow orders and prohibitions, implement all the tactics assigned by the coach, and actively defend without being greedy for success will indeed have a very high lower limit!"
Fan Jun sat next to Lin Lei and nodded frequently.
“There are hundreds of participating teams across the country, who doesn’t know the style of the Beimen school team?”
"There have been schools that have imitated their military-style management before, but they have never been able to persist."
"Everyone knows their defense is good, but no one can copy their tactics."
"Now it seems that there is indeed something special about the North Gate from top to bottom."
Everyone knows that the Beimen school team's defense is good.
Most people will attribute this credit to the military-style management and training implemented by the school, and easily ignore the team members who can withstand these arduous trainings.
Xu Jie smiled and nodded, then said:
"Beimen school team, except for their captain, Zhou Tianchen, known as Beimen Durant, does not have the kind of players who can enter the five-star high school rankings."
"But for such a team, any five of the 12 players on the roster can form a solid team, and their strength will not drop off a cliff due to the demise of star players."
"This is the most terrifying thing about their Beimen school team."
"Even the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University, which has a monopoly in domestic high school leagues, cannot allow any five players to play without compromising their strength."
"But the Beimen school team can do it!"
Hearing Xu Jie's words, Lin Lei and Fan Jun were both shocked.
Whether it is the high school league they are currently participating in, or a higher-level college league, or even a professional league, international competition, NBA.
Any basketball team in the world has its main players and substitutes.
In most teams, there is a strength gap between the starting five and the bench.
Otherwise, how can we call starters and substitutes?
The strength of the starting five must be higher than that of the full bench lineup, there is no doubt about this.
But the Beimen school team is able to make a 12-man roster. No matter which five players play, they all have similar strength.
Although the high school league in Dragon Kingdom is not a large-scale professional competition, it is already an exaggeration to be able to do this.
Lin Lei smoothed his hair and said with emotion: "It looks a lot like the Pistons team back then."
The Detroit Pistons at the beginning of the new century were an anomaly in the NBA.
There is no player on their team who can be called a superstar.
But in the NBA, which relies on talent to make a living, it uses the ultimate defense like a steel barrel to defeat many teams with superstars.
Between 2003 and 2008, they reached the Eastern Conference Finals for six consecutive years.
In the 2004 Finals, they won the NBA championship that year from the Los Angeles Lakers, who had a super luxurious lineup!
What was the configuration of the Lakers in 2004?
The luxurious f4 composed of Shark O'Neal, Peter Pan Kobe Bryant, Postman Karl Malone, and Glove Gary Payton!
Of the five starting players, three can rank high in the entire league's history.
It was such a luxurious lineup, but they were defeated by the Pistons in the finals!
Fans who watched the game back then know that the word "beat" is not an exaggeration at all.
What was the lineup of the Pistons back then?
It’s all grassroots!
No one can be selected into the top 50 in league history!
Big Ben is an undrafted player, but he can guard Shaq O'Neal who is at his peak!
Roaring God Rasheed Wallace, facing Karl Malone in his twilight years, giving him everything he wants!
Prince, big heart Billups, and masked man Hamilton, the three of them put extreme pressure on Kobe. In Kobe's entire career, he can definitely be ranked in the top three!
That iron-blooded legion with super defense and tough style has left its own and colorful mark in the long history of NBA!
To play basketball, offense requires talent.
But defense requires attitude!
The Beimen school team is a high school league team that has the style of the Pistons back then and plays defense to the extreme!
Xu Jie turned to look at the basketball court.
There, the members of the Zhenzhong school team were doing shooting training.
He smiled and said to Lin Lei and Fan Jun:
"In the high school league, we are actually lucky to have a team like Beimen School Team."
"What these talented children lack is pressure and training."
"This afternoon's game is just a test of how much strength they can still exert when facing the ultimate defense?"
The reason Xu Jie and the others attach so much importance to the Beimen school team is not because Xu Jie, Lin Lei and the others are afraid of the Beimen school team.
On the field, having evenly matched opponents is a very exciting thing.
How can the strength of the players be improved if they keep frying in the league?
After Lin Lei and Fan Jun finished arranging tactics for the team members, Xu Jie called his three beloved disciples to his side.
"Teacher Xu!"
Lin Weirui, Yue Zhanye and Zhou Lu, all wearing jersey numbers, wiped the sweat from their foreheads and greeted Teacher Xu with a smile.
"Um."
Xu Jie smiled and nodded in response.
"Your opponent this afternoon is the Beimen school team, which is famous for its defense. Tell me, what do you think?"
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, the human brain is in a very active stage.
When Xu Jie teaches students, he always likes to listen to their own ideas first, and then put forward targeted opinions and suggestions based on their ideas.
He has always felt that as a teacher, you must not be self-righteous and think that all your ideas are better than those of your students.
This is unrealistic.
Whether students with good grades or students with poor grades, they will have their own unique ideas.
Many times, these unique ideas may become the seeds of something new.
What teachers have to do is to discover and cultivate such seeds, rather than nipping them in the cradle.
Lin Weirui, Yue Zhanye, Zhou Lv and others looked at each other and smiled after hearing Teacher Xu's question.
"Teacher Xu, we know that the Beimen school team started with defense."
"A few of us have discussed it privately. Since they want to compete defensively, then we will compete defensively with them."
"We want to see if their North Gate can withstand our defense if they respond in kind to another!"
