0242 Chicken soup should be the strongest
July NO.20 at ten o'clock in the morning,
Team USA 2005 FIBA America's Cup players and assistant coaches gathered at the University of California, Long Beach.
The official game starts on August 8th, and the team has about a month.Su Yang and Jerry Colangelo, the spokesperson of the American Basketball Association, made a little calculation, and he was responsible for finalizing the general direction, and the specific work of leading the training was left to the assistant coaches.
Anyway, with the business of tens of millions of dollars a day, it is impossible for me to practice with the team for this championship.
The main purpose of this America's Cup is to compete for the qualifications for next year's World Championships in Japan, as long as you can get the top four.
A total of ten teams participated in the competition, divided into two groups, AB. The US team was in Group A. The only strong opponent was Brazil. Canada was also quite strong, but Nash and other NBA stars did not play. As long as you don’t deliberately want to lose the game,
Even if they win just one game, they have a 50% chance of advancing, and Panama in Group A has no chance of beating the United States.
In the next quarter of the game, two groups of 8 teams fought. In Group B, Arroyo from Puerto Rico, the nemesis of the United States, did not participate in the battle. World Championship qualification,
There is almost no difficulty.
"It does make sense that there are no NBA players coming to the game. It's not the feeling that the whole people are nervous..."
Su Yang glanced at the U.S. team outside the office, thinking that there is no difficulty in the America's Cup. NBA stars do not come very often. Looking at history, there were only two big names in 92 and 03, all because they did not win the previous World Championships. to the champion.
The mentality of those big names in the NBA is to wait until next year's World Championships to consider, but then they can't help it,
Laozi will take full power to prepare the team.
"Your main task is to find a way to defeat Argentina and Brazil, lead us to win the championship, continue the tradition of the American team winning the America's Cup, and provide a basis for subsequent requests for more funding..." Jerry Colangelo explained blah blah blah.
Su Yang followed the trend,
It is not difficult for this group of people to win the top four, but it is quite difficult to beat Brazil or Argentina, because Brazil has Barbosa and Varejao, and although Argentina does not have NBA players such as Ginobili and Scola , but special teams.
"If you want to win the championship, you can only play one big and four small routines, use full-court pressing and zone defense, seek more opportunities for defensive counterattacks, and give full play to the strength of our lineup and physical fitness. In addition, strict discipline management is required during the game..."
Right now, the most powerful player on the US team is Charlie Bell, a shooting guard who was undrafted in 01. He played for the Suns for a while, and then played in various overseas leagues. Opportunity.
The other three relatively strong players,
The first one is Edney, a 178 point guard and a 73-year veteran. From 95 to 98, he played for the Kings and the Celtics, and then played in various overseas leagues. This time he came to participate in the Copa America to support his family. Make a living, take some training opportunities,
Accumulate the foundation for subsequent job hunting;
The second is small forward Don Hamilton. He was undrafted in 01. He played a few games with the Heat. His data was bleak and there were no bright spots. Then he moved to various overseas leagues. Naturally, he came here this time to show his face and seek more. Career Opportunities;
The third is Jerome Beasley, a center or power forward. He was a second-round pick in 03. He also played only two games with the Heat. He also played in various overseas leagues. He was planning to sign to Santa Cruz as a Ready, now is the right time to inspect.
After thinking about it, I decided to contact Spoelstra to ask if he had any impressions of these two former Heat players.
If there are any strengths and weaknesses, save time for inspection.
Apart from the four, the other strong player is the combo guard Alexander Skiles, a seasoned veteran who has played against Dayao in the Chinese CBA, played for the Shanghai Sharks for one season, and played for the American CBA. The data is not bad either.
The last one who is more powerful is small forward Aaron McGee, who averaged 02 points and 21.8 rebounds in five games in March Madness in 7.2. His performance is second only to the same Drew Gooden, but he was old and underweight when he participated Big, lost and mixed in overseas leagues.
"Basically, there are only six players available, and the other six players feel like they are making up the numbers. This challenge is even greater than when Cohan asked me to lead the Warriors to win seven consecutive victories. If you can't find anyone, tell me earlier. I can choose from my own team. Several or personally invited..."
Su Yang really didn't expect that, not to mention the big-name NBA players, there is not even a qualified rotation. It can be said that there is no NBA player who has to complain to make Colangelo feel guilty, pave the way for next year's selection, and avoid too much meddle.
He said that he was solely responsible, but it was not certain what would happen at that time, so don't TM insert a college player to mix commercial value.
"Well, I don't want you to be so troublesome, but you are Su Yang, a top coach with 73 wins and 9 losses. I am not worried about problems at all, so I really didn't pay much attention..." Colangelo put his high hat on, Quite skilful.
Su Yang didn't answer the topic, but said instead: "Let's go, go and establish some rules for them, first of all, avoid internal friction..."
Right now, the group of people participating in the America's Cup is all about showing their faces and performing. Even if they lose all the games, it doesn't matter. It is easy for each to fight for the war without any psychological pressure.
"Okay, you have the final say."
Colangelo got up to follow, and the two walked to the sidelines to stand still.
All the players showed surprise eyes. They really didn't expect Su Yang to come in person. When the official announced that Su Yang was the head coach of the US team, everyone thought that this America's Cup was just a nominal one. After all, the top four games were casually played. , without any challenge.
Su Yang thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "I know that everyone is here to show more, and I am here to win the championship. There is no conflict between our goals. I can help you show more about the competition. possibility of
For example, Aaron McGee, your big weight has always been regarded as troublesome by many coaches, but I can design a unique screen method for you, allowing you to give full play to your weight advantage, this kind of screen method has never been seen in the NBA use,
You will be the first! "
After the words fell, Aaron McGee looked like a balloon that was suddenly inflated. His whole face was bloodshot and red, and his pupils were dilated. His excited expression was like the sun at noon in June. Who could see it, "Okay Coach, I will definitely try my best."
Su Yang smiled and nodded, "There are also Charlie Bell and Jerome Beasley, the rest of you are the same, I will design the most suitable tactics for you, let you try tactics that have never been played in the NBA, let you experience yourself in a better state,
But the premise is that you need to cooperate fully. I don't want to see a single case of disobedience, understand? "
Everyone in the US team nodded quickly, not because they were afraid of Su Yang, playing casually in overseas leagues, and they didn't have to enter the NBA or China's CBA. ,
Su Yang is able to reconcile the existence of both labor and capital. He also bought the IBA team Dakota Wizards before. Although he is much younger than other famous coaches like Larry Brown, his energy is dozens of times greater. There are many benefits to cooperation. Quite miserable.
"Okay, let's start training."
Su Yang snapped his fingers, assistant coaches Wells and Melvin Hunter came out, and started the physical test with the physical trainer.
If you want to play full-court press, you must have super physical strength. First increase the physical strength of these guys, and then use the seven-second offense of playing the sun. It will be very effective against Argentina and Brazil. Anyway, it is not a routine Up to 82 games,
There are only 13 games to win the championship, and the schedule lasts for 17 days, which is a slightly tighter NBA intensity.
"In order to show you better, I will put the videos of each of you training and games on YouTube, scouts across the United States can easily browse, and scouts outside the United States can also easily get the videos, don't Worried about being buried."
The America's Cup basically didn't pay any attention. ESPN and TNT didn't bother to report. That's why there were often no big-name players participating in the competition. However, with the emergence of YouTube, Su Yang was willing to promote it, giving the players a certain amount of exposure, which was quite attractive.
"I won't be there all the time. I won't be there. It will be led by David Joerger, our summer league champion coach. He led the Dakota Wizards to two championships in the IBA and one championship in Sky Force. He is very happy. powerful."
Su Yang gives the players a vaccination first. Don't underestimate the executive head coach David Joerger just because he is not around. Besides, there are two assistant coaches for Wells and Hunter. They are basically the coaching team of the Warriors for three consecutive championships. These players have never Have been treated.
"I wanted to try the military management that brought the Warriors a three-peat, but I believe you can do it. During the training camp in Long Beach, only hang out with family and friends, no prostitutes, no alcohol, no troubles, for yourself Take a real championship,
It is convenient to introduce your past occupation and past to new friends and your descendants in the future.
I can proudly and confidently say that you and Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Irvin Johnson, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson and Ewing, etc. dreamed of being an NBA superstar In that way, they are all members of the America's Cup champions! "
After the words fell, the bloody atmosphere in the training ground soared, and everyone in the US team visibly worked harder and focused.
Colangelo was all smiles, looked at Su Yang and thought to himself, it's so fucking amazing, this shit can be related to Mengyi,
But there's nothing wrong with saying it,
It can only be said that Su Yang's chicken soup for the soul is also the strongest in the league.
After completing the physical training for an hour, Su Yang took advantage of everyone's rest to fulfill his promise and designed an exclusive cover for Aaron McGee, that is, "Gortat cover". Len McKee used it first, stimulating him to go all out.
After the brief explanation, Su Yang smiled at the people who couldn't believe it: "Yes, it's that simple. After the big man covers, he quickly disassembles and runs down, and sets up a human wall under the basket to help his teammates get a better impact. Basket opportunities..."
The running position is really not difficult, just like Varejao's cover, it is nothing more than a sudden change of direction during the running process, but before Varejao used it, no one else used it, or it did not form an influence. Wide spread in the NBA.
The same goes for Gortat's cover. There must have been players who used it intentionally or unintentionally before, but Gortat was completely fired.
"This cover method is suitable for a big man without mid-range shooting ability, and a fast-paced ball holder without mid-range shooting ability..." Between words, Su Yang revealed the essence of the tactics, and Aaron McKee blushed a little and made up for it Short board.
After the 10-minute explanation was over, Su Yang instructed Wells and Melvin to fly back to Los Angeles by helicopter.
I rushed to Beverly Hills again to advise Beyoncé on the preparation of Parkwood Company, and by the way, discuss about traveling to Dominica at the end of August. While Fina can move around more freely, the summer scenery in Dominica is beautiful.
The America's Cup and tourism are both.
During the discussion, ESPN got the news that Su Yang appeared in the U.S. team's training camp, and began to hype the question of "Can Su Yang lead a lineup without NBA players to win the championship?" Fox Sports also received the news and planned to jointly kill Su Yang spirit.
