The next day.
In the morning, the Bobcats flew to a hotel in Texas to rest.
The coaching staff had gathered to discuss the game that night. Everyone was having a headache. The lineup was already so poor, and they had played such an intense game yesterday. Josh was injured and absent, so they all felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Leips said," I think that with our strength in the paint, it's not suitable for a paint strategy at all. It's not possible to use Michael as the core. The strategy we used against the Pacers yesterday was actually not bad. Our defenders are still very reliable. They're better at playing outside, and even running and shooting is better than now.”
The others glanced at Dunlap. Lapus 'words were not polite at all. It was a direct slap to Dunlap's face because the inside lane tactics were formulated by Lapus. Now, it was equivalent to completely rejecting his tactical approach.
The other members of the coaching staff did not say anything. They had similar thoughts. They could not just watch Dunlap play around. This old man had no experience at all. He took everything for granted. Now, the facts had proven that Michael's core strategy would not succeed because Michael's personal ability was still lacking. He did not have the ability to turn the tide.
He thought Dunlap would fly into a rage, but he didn't expect that although Dunlap's expression wasn't good, he didn't scold anyone. Instead, he thought for a while and said," Our inside line is indeed too weak. We can't create a good opportunity for Michael. The previous strategy didn't work, but if we focus on the outside line, how can we guarantee our success rate?”
Dunlap's words made sense. The shortcomings of playing from the outside were obvious. It was generally a mid-range shot, and it was difficult to guarantee a scoring rate. Their team's rebounding ability was not good. It was fine when the players had good hands, but if their hands were cold, the result would be terrible.
At this moment, the veteran Silas spoke up." Actually, everyone doesn't have to be so extreme. We can combine things together. We can play both inside and outside. The players should run and pick and roll more and pull space. If there's an opening in the inside, let Michael shoot. If there's an opening in the outside, let the defenders shoot. We can give the players more free space and let them make decisions on the spot. After all, the situation is ever-changing. Let the organizer make the shots and let him judge the situation freely.”
Silas's intention was to give Michael and the point guard the same shot, and the point guard would decide who to give the last shot to based on the situation.
Dunlap and the others thought about it and nodded in agreement. With the team's current lineup, this was the most reasonable tactic.
Then, they discussed the issue of personnel. When they talked about Han Zhe, some people said that he was good at breaking through and scoring, so he could be a point guard.
Some people said that he had better organizational skills and was most suitable to play as a point guard. Some people said that his exaggerated jumping ability and sudden breaking ability could even play as a swingman. In the end, a few people were shocked to find that he was an all-rounder 3D player. Other than the center position, he seemed to be able to play anywhere.
If an average team had such a player, he would be able to wake up laughing even when he was asleep. This was a top-notch dual-ability guard. The fullback only needed to play him, and they could have an additional striker.
However, the worst thing was that the Bobcats did not lack defenders. Gordon, Walker, and Anderson were all more reliable defenders. They lacked forwards and could not play. Even if Han Zhe was all-rounded, he had to use two guns to fill the number of players in the backfield. This was really f * cked up!
Besides, Han Zhe's physical fitness was also a big problem. It was impossible for him to play the entire game. In addition, Han Zhe was indeed lacking in game experience. For example, he missed his defense when he competed with the referee at a critical moment on the court, and he almost caused a big conflict when he was not calm. These were also problems.
However, it was still the same. The Bobcats did not lack guards. The two groups of guards could rotate and both had time to rest. The final problem was the inside line. If the inside line could not hold on, it was impossible to control the situation. The simplest and most accurate way to score on the basketball court was always to shoot from the inside.
Rebounds were also an important factor in determining victory, but there was no solution to this problem. As long as the Bobcats didn't strengthen their paint, they wouldn't be able to solve this problem.
Then, the coaching staff called the players over to explain the new tactics and began to play the video of the Mavericks 'game for them to watch. While watching the game, the assistant coach introduced the characteristics and countermeasures of the opposing players according to the information collected.
The Mavericks 'biggest player was naturally Nowitzki. However, he was plagued by injuries and had yet to return, which made them much more relaxed. There was also the demigod Kate. However, Kate was now 35 years old and his condition had deteriorated severely. His threat level had been greatly reduced.
However, the Mavericks were definitely not weak to them. Mayo, Marion, Brand, and the others were all famous players, and their strength was very strong.
After watching the video, Dunlap told the players to rest. There was still a game in the evening. Everyone was tired after playing the Pacers, so they had to rest as much as possible.
......
The match was approaching.
The number of viewers on the domestic livestream network reached a new high. Due to Han Zhe's outstanding performance and the fact that it was the weekend, many people were waiting for Han Zhe's performance on their phones and computers.
He was strong, handsome, and elegant. Most importantly, they were all from China, so there was no reason not to support him. Just based on yesterday's game, Han Zhe had gained countless fans.
Of course, there were also many people who had heard that Han Zhe had been praised as a god. They came to watch the game today with an unconvinced mentality. Could Asia produce a good defender?
They didn't believe it!
If Han Zhe didn't perform well, they were ready to slap him in the face!
