Chapter two hundred and forty-eight war(1/2)
Using the "pseudo-joint defense" as sophisticated as a clock, we build a line of defense that will make our opponents extremely troubled...
In the 97/98 season, the 76ers were able to limit their opponents to below 87 points per game, which was already an almost perfect answer in Larry Brown's eyes.
However, before the start of the playoffs, Brown firmly believed that the 76ers' defense...
There is still room for improvement.
Because in the statistics of assistant coach Chicks, Brown noticed a very interesting set of data.
That is, in the 30 regular season games lost by the Sixers this season, Su Feng's three-point shooting percentage was only 30.5%, and he had to miss nearly 5 three-pointers in each game.
Unlike Big Ben, Ratreve, Snow, McGee and others...
If Iverson is a light sword and an endless blade that needs freedom to be liberated, then in Brown's view, Su Feng is also an invincible overlord gun.
In Brown's plan, Su Feng, who has a finishing rate of about 60% at the basket and a shooting rate of more than 40% in the mid-range shooting rate, will become the best candidate for the 76ers to break the lineup in this year's playoff journey.
Therefore, in the regular season, when Su Feng wants to play, Brown will let him play.
But in the playoffs, Brown believed that Su Feng would need to reduce the damn three-point shooting.
Because too many three-point shots will often speed up the pace of the game subconsciously.
Especially after NBA extended the three-point line this season, NBA's three-pointers are easily popped up with long rebounds because they need to be extra force when shooting.
Once you can't grab the frontcourt rebound, the consequence will be that your opponent will directly push and fight back.
Although the rules and versions of the future NBA are different from those of the present, the reason why Cole in the future team encourages Curry and Clay to make some unreasonable conversion and three-pointers is precisely because the Warriors hope that their opponents can speed up and fight against them.
Old Nelson, who likes to do the opposite, explained with his strength before Cole that even the young general Johnson with strict military discipline must make the calf run and fight with the Golden State bandits.
But for Brown's defensive philosophy, too fast game pace will cause the defense to lose its original precision.
Brown has always disliked fighting because in his opinion, the kind of chaos in which both sides run back and forth can easily lead to the game being out of control.
To put it simply, if you understand Brown's tactics as operation, he hopes that the 76ers can kill their opponents with a sharp look.
Therefore, the 76ers will no longer be able to play a miracle team like last season.
According to the schedule, if the 76ers can successfully pass the defending champion Hawks, their opponent in the Eastern Conference semi-finals will be the Pacers.
And this is an opponent that Larry Brown doesn't want to lose to anyway.
In Brown's plan, as long as Su Feng is willing to make changes, the 76ers will be able to reach the Eastern Conference Final at least this season.
As for whether you can step closer in the Eastern Conference Finals, it depends on who the 76ers are and what the 76ers can play...
...
It is worth mentioning that just before Brown talks to Su Feng, Su Feng was preparing to use the "big fooling technique" to make this "answer" shoot more three-pointers in the playoffs to reduce the impact of his ankle sprain.
Although Su Feng has never told Iverson, he really hopes to win the championship with Iverson.
Perhaps Su Feng loved Yao Ming and Kobe more in his previous life, but in this life, after becoming "friends" with Iverson in Philadelphia, how could you say Iverson had no impact on Su Feng?
As the saying goes, human hearts are all flesh.
In this era of tense relationship between labor and capital, without knowing whether the "wandering and iron-sweeping" plan will be launched, whether Brown will be wandering or himself, grasping the present is everything Su Feng can do.
After reviewing the matches with the Bulls, Celtics, Jazz, Lakers and other teams this season, Su Feng knew very well that the 76ers still have potential to dig.
Although this season, Iverson's three-point shooting has dropped a lot, and the training volume is not as good as last season.
However, in this era when everyone's shooting percentage is generally around 40% in the playoffs, even if Iverson only has about 30% of the three-point shooting percentage, it seems that Su Feng is not losing.
Different versions and rules do not mean that the 76ers cannot produce a miracle group that is half a step beyond this era.
As long as the 76ers can appropriately increase the three-point shooting and increase the offensive rhythm, with the defensive ability of Su Feng, Da Ben, Snow, Ratreve and others, even if they often defend two or three and four in chaos, it is enough for their opponents to drink a pot.
If you stabilize and operate and play with these top teams that have been in harmony for many years, wouldn’t it be a disease in Su Feng’s opinion?
According to the schedule, if the 76ers can successfully pass the Hawks and Pacers, their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals, in Su Feng's opinion, has the probability of exceeding the Bulls.
And this is an opponent that Su Feng wants to win the second game no matter what.
Because once Su Feng can beat Jordan for the second time, the "Wandering Blacksmith" plan will be successfully turned into the "Wandering Brown" plan in his plan.
In Su Feng's plan, only children make choices.
While leveling up, he won the championship, and even asked Larry Brown to get out. This is his plan!
Of course, in Su Feng's opinion, it is simply difficult to achieve the above.
After all, even if the 76ers can play a miracle team, they will not only be able to narrow the gap with this bull.
But if you don’t do it because of the difficulties, then why is Su Feng working hard for so long?
Su Feng certainly has alternative plans, but before using alternative plans, he is Su Feng's basketball method.
...
"Su, I think what I meant is clearly expressed. You will be an indispensable part of us in the playoffs. I hope you can understand that I am for your own good."
On that day, in the office of the general manager of 76ers, Bron specially found the 76ers' person Berlin Berg to express his "love" to Su Feng.
Brown is a smart man.
He did not look for Pat Klaus, who was good at mixing with others, but instead found Berlin Berg, who had always obeyed his own words, because he knew that it was very likely that he could not convince Su Feng by relying solely on him.
In Brown's opinion, John Davis, the dog thief, has completely "spoiled" Su Feng.
After listening to the "facts" stated by Brown, Berlin Berg also said to Su Feng with concern:
"Su, I know, you may still miss John.
But you have to understand that Larry is one of the greatest coaches in the league. Look, how good are you working together in the regular season this season?”
After a pause, perhaps because he felt that his hint was not obvious enough, so Berlin Berg continued:
“Although we don’t know if the labor-management negotiations will lead to a suspension of next season’s game.
But Su, I can promise you that you and Aaron are the most precious property of this group of 76ers.
I hope you can become Michael and Scotty of the next era and work together to create an era of 76ers."
I have to say...
If Su Feng doesn't know how the future will develop, he may be convinced by Brown and Berlin Berg.
only......
Now the first question is here.
Just now, Brown proved to Su Feng that three-pointers were not working by listing the 76ers' lost games. Isn't this just a 1990s version of the leverage?
Because if you don’t believe it, go and open the Warriors’ loss game and count the data of Clay and elementary school students. Look at their performance. Is it much worse than when they win?
As long as you are not a member of the NBA group, under normal circumstances, the data of losing is definitely not as good as the data of winning.
And with this 76ers offensive tactic, how could "Ai Feng" maintain an excellent feel in every game?
In those games where the 76ers lost, if Su Feng did not stand up and scored those unreasonable three-pointers, the 76ers would only die even worse.
Because this season, even Van Gundy led the Knicks to win two games after Ewing's reimbursement.
If no one makes three-pointers, the opponent's defense will shrink and smaller. After the All-Star Weekend, the critical hit Iverson later made was related to Su Feng.
Because the more Iverson plays, the less defensive pressure Su Feng faces.
On the contrary, the more stable Su Feng, whose attack ability grows rapidly, the better Iverson's output environment will be.
It's like when you are playing dota, the number one position is suppressed by the opposite side, but the number two stands out and grabs development time for the number one position, and then the number one position finally stands out and takes away the game.
The reason why the "Golden Double Gun" is the "Golden Double Gun" is precisely because of the adaptability of Su Feng and Iverson.
If I don't create an output environment for Iverson, the 76ers can't expect Iverson to succeed in carrying explosive bags under the defense of a bunch of men, right?
In Su Feng's previous life, Iverson's career had a 56.5% finishing rate at the basket, which is quite outstanding for his height.
But with Iverson's talent, if his output environment is better, he is not unable to do it with his superior speed and a basket finishing rate of more than 60%.
In the 200/01 season, the 76ers' good results were related to Iverson's final score of 68.6% in the regular season.
But in the playoffs, Iverson's basket finishing rate was only 55.5%.
In fact, in Su Feng's previous life, under Brown's system, Iverson's offense was very good, but his efficiency was really not high.
Being able to score a 68.6% basket finishing rate under the HC rules itself proves the breakthrough efficiency of this "answer".
However, in such a season, Iverson only played once under Brown.
To put it bluntly, Brown's offense is more at ease than Van Gundy.
Therefore, in Su Feng's view, if he chooses to compromise...
Then let alone the championship, this 76ers are likely to be able to play in one round.
Because humans and eagles are happy, but the other side of happiness also means that they can play games while their mentality is relaxed.
As for the cakes painted by Berlin Berg...
Wake up, every capitalist will promise you an infinitely bright future when he fools you.
Take a young and excellent employee like Su Feng for example. Even if the 76ers don’t make such a promise, would Su Feng have no other place to go?
...
At the end of this conversation, there was no result.
Su Feng did not choose to argue with Brown on this day because he knew that Brown was not the kind of person who would make changes by presenting facts and reasoning.
Even if his face was beaten to pieces in the future, Brown still expressed his firm belief in the interview.
To be continued...
