Chapter 264 [Wrong to be wrong, unable to complain]
After two days of training with the national team, Yang Jian felt more and more that his teammates were too weak, and so was the head coach Gong Luming.
The players of this Chinese men's basketball team are very hardworking and disciplined, but they are missing something very important. What they lack is not technology, but something spiritual, lacking aura, domineering, and even personal awareness.
The players train hard and have very solid basic skills, but they are not good at adjusting their playing style during the game.
Yang Jian really obeyed the head coach's arrangements, but some players simply couldn't adapt to his tactics. For example, he asked Wang Zhizhi to play hard in the low post and take advantage of his height advantage. Wang Zhizhi is so light, how effective is it to beat strong men from other countries by relying on his height? His shooting percentage
It certainly can't be higher.
Gong Xiaobin is an impact player, and he has moved beyond the three-point line. Li Nan shoots more accurately, is a threat from the bottom corner, and has good confrontation ability, but has no chance to perform. He prefers to use Zheng Wu because Zheng Wu has two
He performed better years ago.
Most players are confused by Gong's tactics. They are executing his tactics in their minds, completing the tactics mechanically, and losing their own characteristics. Without characteristics and not using their strengths, are they still capable players?
A good coach will develop corresponding tactics based on the characteristics of the players, develop multiple sets of tactics based on different player characteristics, and make adjustments based on the opponent and the situation on the field, rather than letting all players change around their own tactics.
Compared with NBA coaches, the problem of Chinese coaches is very serious. When formulating tactics, it is not based on what you want, but on what we have.
The team's defense is so bad that Yang Jian can no longer complain. It is impossible to improve significantly in half a month.
The players knew they couldn't defend, but they would continue to defend like this. Yang Jian asked them why they didn't double-team, assist in defense, or adjust. Their answers were similar. The coach arranged it. If they didn't do this, they didn't have discipline and didn't obey the command.
Good guy, these people are really too obedient.
How obedient are they? If the coach says, "This opponent is too strong, I plan to give up strategically, and you save your energy to fight against an opponent you can win." This group of people will give up immediately and sleepwalk throughout the game.
In a parallel world, the players of the "golden generation" don't seem to mind losing more than 60 points in three games. The team qualified after winning two games in the group stage, and the coach was still complacent, believing that proper tactical arrangements were an important reason for qualifying.
The Chinese men's basketball team is not a tactic similar to "Tian Ji Horse Racing", it is more like a kind of ideological imprisonment. Players must unconditionally obey what the coach says, even if his arrangement is wrong.
No one raised any questions, no one thought it was inappropriate, and some said it was normal and this was the national condition. What about the sportsmanship of never giving up? Is it really good to give up the game without even fighting, and just put yourself in the position of the weak?
If all basketball teams thought this way, in the 2004 Olympics, Puerto Rico would not have beaten the United States by 19 points in the opening game, and Arroyo would not have defeated Allen Iverson and become the "Wonder Kid." They would have started the game like they were beaten by
Addison, who was possessed by Ma Xiao, also surrendered. "He won. I can't beat him. Goodbye."
How do you know if you can't beat someone if you don't give it a try? Maybe the other person is easy to beat and pulls your pants to beg for abuse.
What’s even more frightening is that this kind of discipline and national conditions is not an exception in China’s sports circle, and it still happens frequently after entering the 21st century.
In September 2002, a "handicap incident" occurred in the Chinese women's volleyball team. At the World Women's Volleyball Championship held in Germany, coach Chen Zhonghe "taught advice" to the Chinese women's volleyball team, first handing the ball to an unknown team 0-3 in the group stage.
The Greek team, after entering the rematch, gave up the ball 0-3 to the defeated South Korean team.
Through such precise calculations, Chen Zhonghe avoided the strong enemies of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Russian team and the Italian team, just to achieve slightly better results.
In 2012, the Chinese badminton women's doubles player ranked No. 1 in the world deliberately lost the match, causing the audience to boo. Amid the boos, the Chinese players remained calm and unfazed. After the game, coach Li Yongbo plausibly said, "This is a technical and tactical decision."
"Need". This explanation seems very reasonable, but in fact it is very unsuccessful.
The audience has zero tolerance for negative competition, not to mention that your world's number one player also plays this trick. Isn't this a loss of your own brand?
However, they can only smash their own signs and cannot blame the players. China has a glorious tradition for this kind of handicap trick. It can even give up gold medals, and it started from the time of He Zhili.
If you disobey, the coach will make you look good. The team does not allow such awesome people to exist. The coach has the power to kill and force the players to bow their heads and surrender. Do you think I am just the coach? I am your father.
!I trained you, you have to be filial to me for the rest of your life.
Yang Jian feels that if he does not break this thinking pattern, it will be difficult for him to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship. These people may make mistakes on the court and wait eagerly for the coach to call a timeout. The coach does not say anything to make adjustments, and he does not dare to "act randomly" on the court.
!
This is caused by the general environment of the Chinese basketball world. Some officials do not allow players to be disobedient. If you do not follow the rules they set, you will not even have a chance to play. Over time, everyone will develop a habit and accept the changes in life.
How can a person be domineering on the court?
In the past, the core of the Chinese men's basketball team was not clear. It was never known who was the boss of the team. What mattered was human relations. Now, the team finally has a clear core.
Yang Jian is the only domineering player. He is used to being the boss, not the grandson. Moreover, he is not within the Chinese basketball system and is more like a "foreign aid" with Chinese nationality.
More importantly, he is a time traveler. The Chinese people's world view and values 20 years later are very different from this era. He yearns for freedom and is more open-minded. In this era, some people want to tie a chain around their necks and hand it to
If someone else holds your hand, you won't be able to walk.
Yang Jian can't change the minds of his teammates. If he talks too much, he will only offend others. In his previous life, he watched the news a lot. Even if these people are capable of playing in the NBA, they will not let him go. Let's take it slow.
He can only use abusive methods to help his teammates improve their defensive abilities. His teammates find ways to guard him, and then use this method to guard against other teams' outside scorers. At that time, Yang Jian will also work hard to defend, and the overall defensive strength
Naturally it can be improved a bit.
After a lot of abuse, the players will gain experience.
What should I do if the point guard is pressed? Don't rush the inside players to run forward, set a screen in the backcourt, and let the shooting guard and small forward respond.
What should we do if the opponent feels hot and throws wildly from the outside? The wing players double-team, and the inside players resolutely help defend when they encounter the screen. Leave a big man to defend under the basket. They would rather allow two points to be defended than three points.
What should you do if you encounter a star who forces a breakthrough? Contract your formation and double-team him in the penalty area, forcing him to distribute the ball to role players.
There is also good news. The Chinese men's basketball team has a good offense and a group of shooters on the outside. Almost everyone can shoot three-pointers.
In particular, Li Nan, Sun Jun, and Hu Weidong are all very accurate in catching and shooting. Wang Zhizhi and Battelle can't shoot three-pointers yet. They can catch and shoot mid-range shots after covering the ball, which can at least open up space.
Then came the game as a substitute for training. In the first game of the summer league, Yang Jian led the team to a narrow victory over the Kings 107 to 103.
Yang Jian scored a near-triple-double with 35 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. Together with Hu Weidong, he destroyed the Kings' perimeter. The latter also scored 21 points.
If Yang Jian is not double-teamed, his strong play will be an opportunity. If Yang Jian is double-teamed, he can assist his teammates. His teammates do a good job in catching the ball and shooting. Yang Jian is undoubtedly a better core than Yao Ming at his peak, and can lead the team both inside and outside.
combine.
The several national teams that Yao Ming participated in had a serious weakness, which was the lack of outside players who could break through with the ball. Yao Ming always played hard in the low post, causing the opponent's big men inside to gather near the penalty area to defend, making it more difficult for defenders to break through.
Now the Chinese team's inside players are pulling out to cover, giving Yang Jian room to break through. If Yang Jian attracts the help of the opponent's inside players on the outside, it is easier for his inside teammates to receive the pass through air cuts and get good shot opportunities.
Yang Jian feels that the future of the men's basketball team is relatively promising, mainly because the opponents have become weaker. The American team will enter a six-year downturn after the 2000 Olympics. The Yugoslav team is about to disband, and the Chinese men's basketball team has a chance to win the championship.
