Next, head coach Paul Westphal began to practice tactics. He first scratched out the tactics on the tactical cardboard and explained the tactics.
"Old K, if you get into the low post, it's best if you can get into the basket. Use your containment to compress the opponent's defense and create opportunities and space for the outside."
"Kevin, K will upload it immediately after he stops."
"Charles, you are on the weak side. If the defender implements weak side help defense, you will get an open space and Old K will pass the ball to you."
"Kevin, you can also pass it to Charles."
"Old K, if the ball is passed to you, if there is a chance for a single, play it. If not, immediately distribute the ball to an open teammate. You have to pay attention to the open space of your teammate."
"Dan Malley, you are on the same side as Old K. Use your long-range shooting ability to open up space for him and wait for his distribution ball."
"Others are actively moving according to tactics and pulling on the defense..."
The tactics are not complicated. They are traditional center tactics. Find the center first. If the center cannot hit, then separate.
In the past, the Suns did not have a powerful center like Wang Tiejun, and several blue-collar centers could not play this kind of tactic. The inside was dominated by Barkley. Barkley could indeed fly in the paint area, but he did not have the height to become the Sun.
The backbone of the team's low post.
And now with Wang Tiejun, although he lacks offensive ability, he has the ability to push and smash in the low post. He has many opportunities to get into the basket, can stand in the low post, has vision and height, and can receive and distribute the ball, so now
The head coach wants to try traditional center forward tactics.
After the tactics were explained, the practical exercises began.
Oliver Miller serves as a substitute and plays against Wang Tiejun at the fifth position.
This guy signed a two-year, $1.1 million contract with the Suns. When he got rich, he ate a lot and couldn't control his weight. When he entered the league, he weighed 127 kilograms. Now he has reached 130 kilograms. He has gained 3 kilograms in two months.
Looking at this momentum, it still needs to climb higher.
As he gains weight, his mobility decreases relatively, and what he gains is not muscle. If he loses fat and gains muscle like Wang Tiejun, he can also gain some strength, but he gains fat, so his weight gain
It just simply increases the tonnage, but the strength is not increased, and the movement is too slow.
Lao Wang was in the low post on the left wing asking for the ball. When the ball came in, he caught the ball and immediately started playing with his back.
The first time you try to hit Barkley, just like the last time you hit Barkley, be completely close to your body, but use all your strength. Be sure to loosen the opponent's center of gravity, and then continue to use force to hit until the opponent's center of gravity is completely destroyed.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
During the first close attack, Miller's center of gravity was as loose as Barkley's just now, but he relied on his huge tonnage to withstand the second close attack. However, the third close attack that followed, he
Unable to hold on any longer, he staggered back, completely losing his center of gravity.
Wang Tiejun was about to take advantage of the momentum and go to the basket for a dunk. At this time, the substitute team started to defend on the weak side. Substitute power forward Jerod Mustav rushed over. Barkley was empty. Wang Tiejun noticed it and immediately pulled the ball up.
, raised high.
The substitute team was changing defense, but Barkley failed to fill the gap in time. After receiving the ball, he immediately made an open jumper and hit a goal.
"Just play like this. Old K should pay attention to the weak side defense coming from behind, and don't make mistakes when playing from behind."
"Dan Marche, when Old K is playing from behind, you can try to cut inside on the strong side to attract defense for Old K. At the same time, Old K, if you have no attack time, you can also pass the ball to Dan Marche."
Head coach Paul Westphal kept reminding loudly.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after completing the training and enjoying a free dinner at the training base, Wang Tiejun rode his car to buy wood.
He has already inquired about several wood processing factories in the eastern suburbs, where he should be able to buy logs.
After riding for more than half an hour, I successfully found a processing factory. I was also lucky and bought a section of the best wood.
What he bought was desert ironwood, a large piece of wood that was three and a half meters long, sixty centimeters in diameter, and weighed several hundred kilograms.
The factory owner is a Suns fan, so he met him, and after paying the money, he promised to send someone to deliver the goods to his door tomorrow.
At 10 o'clock the next morning, a truck delivered the piece of wood to the door. With the help of the driver, he stood the wood in the deep hole dug yesterday.
After it was fixed, he began to use gauze to remove the burrs on the wood. This thing was much thicker, harder, and heavier than the wooden piles he used in his hometown. The wooden piles used before were ordinary elm or jujube wood.
, it was pushed thirty centimeters into the sky, and he broke many roots.
The wooden stakes are ready, but the iron mountain support training cannot be carried out yet because there is no medicinal oil yet.
If you don't rub the muscles and bones with medicinal oil after training with this kind of boxing, you will definitely get injured.
But he was a little itchy because he hadn't done this training for a long time, not since he was imprisoned.
He used his left shoulder and chest to get close to the huge wooden stake, leaving a foot of space. He stopped his feet, twisted his waist and abdomen, and the six forces instantly merged into one and exploded.
"Bang!"
There was a dull impact, and the huge wooden pile did not move at all, but he was hit by the reaction force and his center of gravity was thrown off, and the horse's steps under his feet were almost messed up.
"Tsk, tsk, the force on this wooden pile is too great. I'm shaking the tree like a worm!"
He patted the wooden stake, smacked his lips, and said to himself: "The day I can knock this big thing loose, I believe I will be able to reach the level of Iron Mountain Reliance."
"Bang bang bang..."
Next, he tried another twenty times, then stopped, not daring to try again for fear of getting hurt.
That night, the Suns faced the Mavericks, the worst team in the Western Conference, at home.
The Mavericks were bullied by everyone. Their winning numbers in the past two seasons had hovered between one and twenty. They had just been ravaged by Jordan, and their morale was declining.
Wang Tiejun's opponent is Sean Lukes, a black man, known as Desert Fathead, who comes from the University of Arizona, which is the same university where Zhang Lili's former sister-in-law studied, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Phoenix in Tucson.
He is the No. 3 pick in the second round this year. He is 208 centimeters tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He has good pace around the basket and good confrontation ability, but his shooting skills are average, his wingspan is average, and he has average athletic ability like Wang Tiejun. In addition, in this year's draft, he has
The inside player was too luxurious, so he fell to the second round, and his pick was not high.
According to his conditions, if Wang Tiejun participates in the draft, he might be able to get a first-round pick, because Wang's static talent is top-notch, and his wingspan and confrontation ability are better and stronger than that of Fathead Fish.
However, Lukes still has strength. In the first game of this season against the Jazz, he faced the White and White doubles. He played as the starting center and made 7 of 11 shots and 6 of 10 free throws. He scored 20 points and 4 points in his debut.
Rebounds, this is a score that Lao Wang has not reached yet.
