Chapter 166
The opponents in the second round of the Western Conference are confirmed, the NBA will update the schedule in time, and the Thunder will have five days to prepare for the game.
On the morning of the 26th, Su Yang drove a Mazda to the training base and convened a meeting with the assistant coaching team and the scouting department.
Everyone gathered in the conference room, and the scouting supervisor Blatche spoke first, introducing the basic situation of the Suns season as usual.
"This is an atypical Suns team. Their goal at the beginning of the season was just to make the playoffs, because after they sent away Shaq O'Neal, they didn't make much lineup reinforcement, but they gradually found themselves very strong during the season... "
According to Blatche, the Suns averaged 09 points per game in the 10-110.2 season, beating the Thunder to rank first in the league. The three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41.2%, which is also the first in the league, and they averaged as many as 21.6 shots per game.
The Suns rank fourth in the league in assists per game, with a gap of less than 0.5 between the second and third. They play very well as a team. Stoudemire scored 55 points with an average field goal rate of 23%. Nash, as a member of the 180 club, Both contributed 16.5 points and 11 assists, and veteran Hill, dunk king Richardson, and Raider Frye also averaged double-digit points per game.
In addition to the starting lineup, the Suns have Barbosa, Lopez, Dragic, and Dudley on the bench who averaged 36 points per game. That's why the Suns became a dark horse and entered the playoffs as the fourth in the West. half area.
However, Brac called the Suns an atypical Sun this season, mainly because the Suns have been strengthened inside.
What's more interesting is that the Suns' insiders are not active but passive. They mainly benefit from the west's insiders, such as Duncan and Camby who are aging, and Bynum and Marc Gasol who are young, and Yao Ming and others. injury.
Many comprehensive factors allowed the Suns to grab more rebounds inside, and at the same time they were not bullied so badly.
In addition, the atypical reason for the Suns is that they lost Marion and Bell, two defensive defenders on the flanks. More before.
"It is worth mentioning that although the Suns are extremely lacking in wing defense, they adopted a strategy of only allowing Carmelo Anthony to play in the first round against the Nuggets. They made up for the loopholes very neatly, and even turned them into advantages..."
After Blatche finished speaking, laughter erupted in the conference room. Everyone knew that it was because Anthony liked to score too much, but Anthony's scoring alone could not drive other Nuggets players.
That was also very obvious in the regular season between the Suns and the Nuggets. They won three games against the Suns in four games and lost one game.
"As I said before, the key to winning the first round of the Suns is the zone defense, which helps them cover up the shortcomings of the inside, and at the same time bully the Nuggets, a team with a deviation in positional warfare, so our main task on the offensive end is to break the zone defense.
On the defensive end, our main task is to limit Nash's passing and limit Stoudemire's face-to-face attack. "
After Blatche finished speaking, he raised his hand to signal, Su Yang nodded in response, and then continued: "Russell and Sefolosha's three-pointers are low, and the Suns will definitely take advantage of that. We have to find a way to let them, especially It was Russell running into the paint.
In addition, our low-post offensive ability is average, Chandler tends to defend, Ibaka prefers mid-range shots, and the Suns will definitely use some of them, so I speculate that the Suns will use a lot of three-two defenses to make up for flank defense and boldly lower the post. "
Everyone nodded in agreement with what Su Yang said. The two major shortcomings of the Thunder almost perfectly correspond to the three-two zone defense. As long as the Suns have a normal-minded coach, they will use it. What's more, the Suns just happen to focus on zone defense in the first round, so they don't even need it. practise.
"I have a few tactics to break the zone defense tactics, let KD and them step up their practice in training later..."
Su Yang took turns to introduce several zone-breaking tactics. Some Thunder had used them in previous games, and Snyder and other assistant coaches could understand them immediately, but some of them had not been used in previous games. joint defense.
"In addition to restricting Nash's passing and Stoudemire's face-to-face singles mentioned earlier, we must also pay attention to suppressing the Suns' bench lineup. The Suns won the first round too easily, making their benches look not so strong, especially Dragic. strange…"
In a few minutes, Su Yang gave a detailed strategy for both offensive and defensive ends, and the topic turned to the offensive and defensive strategies of individual players.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the staff informed the Thunder players that all the players were present, and the meeting ended.
Su Yang rushed to the court with the teaching assistant team, observed the players warming up for shooting, and chatted a few words by the way.
At nine o'clock, the training officially started. The ten members of the team set up their formations. Su Yang first explained the tactics of breaking the zone defense.
The first is the 'elbow cross screen' tactic, which uses the blind spots of the two defensive players on the line to create a quick breakthrough opportunity for the ball holder at the top of the arc. Generally, the two wing players on the offensive side are responsible for executing it, while the inside players are responsible for providing screens. .
Its tactical gestures are very simple, just cross the forearms of the person in charge of commanding and defending, and the key point is to be fast.
The second is the "thumbs up" tactic, which uses the ability of the big man to respond to the center of the free throw line to provide screens or catch and pass quickly, making it difficult for the defender to form a fast rotation. and corner threes.
The tactical gesture is simpler, just the ball holder or the coach gives a thumbs up, but the defender will also see it.
The 'thumbs up' tactic tends to be more aggressive than the 'elbow cross screen' tactic.
The third is the 'double screen + flare' tactic, which takes advantage of the weakness of the defender's flanks to quickly create 45-degree three-point line shots or breakthrough opportunities.
After Su Yang talked about the three conventional zone-breaking tactics, he talked about a relatively partial zone-breaking tactic, mainly using the chin cut to create three-point opportunities in weak positions on the flanks. Unfortunately, that is not very efficient for Westbrook and Sefolosha. Low.
After the explanation, the three of Snyder led the players to practice, while Su Yang took Durant to the sidelines.
"KD, when we play against the Suns in the next round, you have to play at the MVP level, just like Kobe did..."
Su Yang went straight to the point: "Although I talked about a lot of zone-breaking tactics just now, the effect is definitely not as good as expected when it is actually implemented in positional warfare. We need you to create damage through singles and tear the Suns' defense.
You have to know that their wing defense is very weak, and that is a good opportunity for you to play a masterpiece of your career. "
Durant nodded: "Like Carmelo?"
"You need to be better than him, don't look at him averaging 30 points per game, but his three-point shooting percentage is only 31%, the average shot is only 3.2 times, the average assist is only 3.3 times, with 3.5 turnovers and 4.3 fouls , the actual killing effect is very poor..."
"Uh..." Durant hesitated slightly.
Su Yang raised his hand and patted Durant on the shoulder: "Don't worry, what Carmelo can't do, I believe you can do it. You were selected for the first team in the third grade. Carmelo hasn't been selected for the first team yet. You are an NBA player. Greatest scorer in history!"
"The best team hasn't been announced yet, right? How did you know I was selected?" Durant was even more puzzled.
Su Yang shrugged slightly: "You are the scoring leader, and our Thunder record is so good, we must be selected for a team!"
The corners of Durant's mouth turned up slightly when he heard the words, and he nodded repeatedly: "Coach, wait to see my performance..."
Su Yang smiled and patted his back to signify his return to team training, then walked to the sidelines and sat down, took out his mobile phone and began to ponder, wanting to send a tweet pointing out that the Suns management made random trades, which led to the waste of Nash and Stoudemire's peak, trying to drive a wedge between the Suns.
But after thinking about it, I realized that it was not very good. It seemed too unorthodox, and it would damage the reputation of being invincible in head-to-head battles.
For a while, I felt a little tangled.
