Chapter 250 The strongest point guard in the league?
In some previous games, the team often digs big holes at the start and falls behind in big scores. In addition to insufficient preparation, it may also be due to insufficient running-in between teammates.
What Brown even more intolerant is that his team's performance is unstable, and often the core players become a good time for opponents to catch up with points after the game.
"I don't want my team to have uneven players." During the discussion, Brown Old Man said: "You can't be at a loss because of a player's fate and lose resistance. Every one of our players who come to the NBA should be the pride of heaven, and you must never be a drag on the team. You can't drag on the team. If this happens, we should feel ashamed!"
Jordan, the boss who also attended the symposium, said: "Everyone should know that in this league, we should have the heart of a strong man. You cannot tolerate yourself always falling behind, and when you are leading, you cannot relax at all. This is what I expect from everyone."
Captain Jackson's words also touched everyone.
Jackson said: "To be honest, I have run several teams so far. But what I miss and proudest is the Spurs that year. It was a veteran strong team, and every player hated failure extremely. And every teammate was very confident. At that time, except for David Robinson and Tim Duncan, other players in our team were all inconspicuous role players in people's eyes. But we all believe that as long as we are in this team, we can defeat anyone. Our current Bobcats have very good results, better than any team I have been in before. But what we lack is what Michael said, lacking a strong heart. This is the direction of our efforts."
Yao Ming nodded and echoed: "I just entered the league back then. My head coach was Tom Janovic. He is like Larry, a very rigorous coach. He may everyone knows a famous saying, that is: Don't underestimate the heart of a championship. This is exactly the same as what Michael and Stephen said."
In three days, although everyone was very tired, there was no doubt that the players' physical fitness had been improved, the team's tactics were more well-done, and the cooperation between teammates could be said to have made great progress.
The players were really tired at first, but the two Chinese stars, Yao Ming and Jiang Jun, both seemed very calm. Like the team captain Jackson, they both supported Brown's decision.
Needless to say, Jiang Jun is always serious and hardworking. He has no complaints about Old Brown's extra training because he was used to it before, and his self-esteem has made him never stop.
Brown, the old man also frankly told his disciples that the reason he seized this rare opportunity to rest, mobilize and train hard was because he had a sense of crisis. He was worried that the team would relax his pursuit of himself and end the winning streak.
It can be said that their next opponent is the team that has the most hope to end their winning streak.
Because on December 2, the Bobcats will challenge the New Orleans Hornets away.
The reason why I think the Hornets have the strength to end their winning streak is because Brown feels that the strongest point of his team can now be said to be Jiang Jun. Although Yao Ming just scored 32 points in the last game, his physical fitness still limits his playing time.
And the Hornets have exactly one of the best organizational guards in the league, Chris Paul.
Paul is 25 years old this year, in his first year of playing. He is 1.83 meters tall and weighs 79 kilograms. He was selected by the Hornets in the fourth pick in the first round in 2005. Fans affectionately called him the Queen Bee.
Although Paul is not tall, he is very strong, and in his first year in the league, he won the title of Best Rookie. Moreover, after 2008, he was selected as the first, second-tier and best-defensive first and second-tier teams many times.
At this symposium, Brown Older focused on Paul. He also hoped that everyone would discuss how to limit Paul to be more effective based on his experience in fighting with Paul.
Jiang Jun found that games that are as important as Brown can be said to be very rare, at least this is the first time he has seen them since joining the NBA.
"Harris, please talk about Chris Paul." Old Brown said quietly.
Scout Harris, the old scout, also attended the symposium, and reported what he had: "Paul has the abilities of all the defenders, which can not only help players score, but also maintain a stable shooting percentage at critical moments and make a sharp breakthrough. In addition, Paul is extremely good at stealing, which plays an important role in the team's defense. He has become the leader of the team. In addition, Paul's excellent three-point shooting skills are also one of his deadly weapons. At the same time, Paul has a passing vision that other defenders cannot match, as well as an excellent overall view and organizational talent."
Brown Old Brown said solemnly: "Let's analyze Paul's offense and defense in detail. Many of you players have played against Paul, so it can be said that he has a strong say. Yao, please tell me first."
Yao Ming nodded and said, "When I was in the Rockets, we were in the same and half zone with the Hornets, and we had to fight more than four times a year. Paul was our biggest headache. I think Paul's shooting skills are very good, whether it is mid-range shots, three-pointers, emergency stop jump shots or open shots, and his shooting percentage is good. And his shooting basically has no blind spots. If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it is to shoot a little slower when shooting three-pointers."
Jiang Jun listened slowly and nodded from time to time. Old Brown asked Augustine to speak again.
Augustine said with lingering fear: "I have fought with him too. To be honest, Paul's breakthrough is definitely not fast. He is better at using the rhythm to pass the opponent in the first step, and then use fake moves to distract the defenders from the attention of the defense to complete the layup. His layup choice is very smart, so the cover rate has always been one of the lowest among the guards in the league. When he was completely healthy, Paul's breakthrough was more "violent". Later, he had a knee injury and lost half a meniscus. From then on, he reduced his breakthrough and paid more attention to the organization of the team. However, as long as the team needs it, he never "soft his feet."
Henderson said: "I think his dribbling skills are quite good. Paul's ball control skills have reached a superb level. He will not slow down when breaking into the penalty area, which has caused the opponent's defensive players to be unable to judge whether to assist or layup or to complete double-team."
In fact, Paul not only has a superb dribble level, "passing through the flowers, without touching the leaves", but also his extremely low turnover rate also better illustrates Paul's extremely terrifying ball-control ability. Therefore, when defending him, all teams in the league often set up nets to force him to make mistakes. Under such harsh conditions, Paul can still give the league's highest assist-and-turnover ratio. Assistance: Although there is still a gap between the master of the generation, many experts and fans believe that as long as they stay healthy, he will become the greatest NBA history.
One of the point guards, Livingston, has been injured frequently in recent years and has almost no chance of playing against Paul. He now admires Jiang Jun. When he heard that everyone praised Paul, he said with some dissatisfaction: "No matter what, I think Jiang is not a problem with Chris. Because shortness of body is Paul's fatal injury. Although Mi is not too short, he has no advantage in the NBA who is as tall as a forest. If he meets a defender who is stronger than himself in the game, he will put in more effort to curb the opponent."
Scout Harris said: "Defense: Don't underestimate his height. In fact, his defense is very oppressive. He is the league's steal king. He is the only player who steals without losing his defensive position. He is also good at assisting defense. He is just short and he is tall and fast defender sometimes is unable to do anything to defend the opponent. The best evidence is that he was beaten by Chauncey Billups in the 2008-09 playoffs with 8 three-pointers."
Jiang Jun simply said: "I will perform well, and our team will win." In his opinion, this is not very difficult.
Although Paul is strong, it is probably the level of Deron Williams, Ross and Rondo. It is not difficult to control.
Jiang Jun, the strongest point of the Bobcats, met the strongest point of the entire league. It can be said that the pressure is quite large.
However, in Jordan and Brown Old Man's opinion, Jiang Jun is under pressure and of course he has motivation. As long as he can defeat Chris Paul, Jiang Jun will be more confident and will make everyone more confident in him.
This season, the Hornets have maintained good results since the start of the game. However, after 6 consecutive wins, their results have declined. Currently, they are 12 wins and 5 losses, and seem to rank third in the Western Conference.
*********************************
Just the afternoon before the race, they flew to New Orleans by plane.
In addition to Paul, among the Hornets, David West is also a very competitive power forward.
In addition, Paul also has a teammate who has a deep connection with the Bobcats.
He is Emecca Okafor, who was selected by the Bobcats in 2004 and regarded as the cornerstone of the team building. In the deal with Chandler, he left the place where he founded the Bobcats and came to the Hornets. This time, he will be mixed with emotion.
In addition, the Hornets also have the former Lakers and Rockets former player Ariza, who is also a very powerful player.
The Bobcats arrived at the away game that night. After arranging their accommodation, they relaxed and took a good look at the night view and night clubs here.
It was not until the next morning that Brown Old Man led the players to practice tactics.
