0041 Get ready to win big
Five days of preparation passed quickly.
NO.30 Early in the morning, Su Yang rushed to the training base. After the shooting warm-up was over, he called the coaching staff and the scouting department for a meeting.
The theme is how to beat the eagle.
Assistant coach Mike Wells released the materials that had been prepared for a long time. There were eight video CDs, and a thick stack of scouting reports. Visually, there were fifty pages or more.Teaching assistant Melvin Hunter hastily set up the portable DVD player and began to explain.
"The Eagles made great personnel adjustments last season and the offseason. They sent away core players such as Mutombo, Lorenzen and Blevins, and introduced players such as Ratliff, Kukoc and Rahim. Both inside and outside personnel have changed a lot, so Wells and I only studied the Eagles' offensive and defensive system throughout the preseason. I will start with the Eagles' offensive style.
They play a lot of singles,
But it’s not that they don’t cooperate, it’s that their tactics are difficult to develop efficiently, and they become heads-up when they fight…”
Hearing that statement, Su Yang nodded in agreement.
The Eagles lack organizational talents, and Terry is currently mainly responsible for organizing, which is obviously not Terry's strong point.
"The Eagles have difficulty organizing offense efficiently,
As a result, their turnover rate is relatively high. They played a total of 7 games in the preseason, and their average and cumulative turnovers are ranked in the forefront of the league. Considering that they use the main force to play most of the time in order to adapt to the new lineup, it can basically be regarded as their true level. .
So I suggest that when we play against each other at night, our defense can be more aggressive and try more steals and blocks. "
Su Yang responded with a hum, the analysis and suggestion made sense.
Assistant coach Melvin Hunter went on to talk about the low offensive efficiency of the Eagles, which was also caused by the lack of point guards.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour of analysis was over, and Su Yang decided on the main offensive and defensive strategy: more fierce and early double-teaming, forcing the eagle with poor organization to make more passes, or being forced to interrupt tactical moves to control the eagle's scoring efficiency…
It is normal for the Eagles to have such shortcomings. The main point guard Terry is only 185, and he is not a player with a big picture like Paul. Another genuine point guard, Emma Davis, has only played in the NBA for 4 years, but he is already a 32-year-old veteran player , lack of scoring ability.
"Today we don't practice separately, we practice together directly."
After making up his mind, Su Yang led the team to the stadium, waited until ten o'clock when all the players arrived, began shooting warm-ups, then went to the multimedia center to watch the video analysis, personally explained how to double-team efficiently and fiercely, and then returned to the court Combat training.
The first defensive task falls on Francis, but Francis has never been an active defensive player.
It's definitely too late to cram. After thinking twice, I decided to arrange Mobley to defend Terry. Anyway, they are combo guards. If there is a flank, I don't have to worry about Terry using speed to overwhelm Mobley. If you try, you succeed.
As for Francis, go play with Emma Davis.
The training then started. Su Yang watched for a while, asked the assistant coach Wells to pay more attention, and rushed to the general manager's office by himself.
Alexander, the owner, was there too.
Dawson smiled and took out a Rockets badge, "This is a special souvenir for winning the championship in 94. It was worn by Tom before. He asked me to transfer it to you for safekeeping. I hope it can bring you good luck. Today is Your big day."
Su Yang raised his hand to take it, a little moved, but inexplicably felt as if Tom reminded himself that he was just a temporary head coach, shook his head and shook his head, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm not too nervous. Everyone has done a good job. Tonight Must win."
"I really like your confidence!"
Alexander showed excitement, "I read all the TPA-related data analysis reports you submitted yesterday, and I think they are very valuable. I am going to ask the media department to help you promote them, so that the entire league knows that you created such standards. "
"That would be great."
Su Yang put on the badge and took a look, "Let the media department take a handsome photo of me and put it on the cover."
Alexander and Dawson laughed in agreement, and the topic turned to personnel adjustments. The trades of Mookie Nonis and Dan Longie have already been discussed, mainly because the Suns and Knicks are interested, and they don't want to exchange available talents. , can change to the second round.
After all, there are talents in the second round of 02 and 03, but we have to find a way to make the two of them perform well in the competition.
The conversation is over and we rush back to the court.
The training effect is not bad, but Eddie Griffin is obviously not fierce enough. It is easy to suffer a disadvantage against the Eagles starting power forward Raheem. In addition, it is the first show of his career. It is best not to let Raheem face Griffin If you play too well, you have to think of an extra way.
As for the issue of Griffin not being vicious enough, it is purely caused by his personality and life experience, and he cannot change it for a while.
After training in the morning, I drove back to Katie, found two aunts, and sent tickets to the family area on the sidelines to invite to watch the game.
The two aunts burst into tears on the spot, feeling that they had finally made it out, and don't forget the blind dates who came together in the future, please help.
Su Yang agreed to come down, and went home to post: Dude, I will officially coach the NBA game tonight. You are welcome to learn about the real-time situation through Fox Sports and Westwood Radio. If anyone comes to watch the game, please shout out my name, and I will send out Chapter [-] For the sideline ticket for the next game against the Clippers, if someone holds up my big picture to watch the game, they can ask me to take a photo and sign it.
It's not about fan circles, I just want to get some news. After all, there is no nationwide live broadcast, so it is quite difficult to preserve historical memories.
The number of replies quickly skyrocketed to 200+, and netizens expressed that they would go to the scene to support, and they were adjusted to the top of the post.
After taking a nap for an hour, I drove a small Mercedes to the Compaq Center and made various pre-match preparations. By 04:30, the players were in place one after another. The bench players first warmed up, followed by big names such as Mobley and Francis.
The pre-match training ends at [-] o'clock, and the whole team returns to the locker room to watch the video again and repeat the content of the morning.By the way, Su Yang pointed out what each player needed to adjust based on his performance during training, and especially told Griffin how to defend Raheem.
After watching the video, he rushed to the media center without stopping to accept interviews from local and national media.
The TNT team reporter first spoke: "Su, Barkley entrusted me to bring you a message. He wishes you to win the first game of your career tonight, and at the same time hopes that you can bring the Rockets out of the quagmire. Narrating the Rockets game."
The reporters at the scene booed and laughed, and Su Yang beat his chest in response: "That must be done, I have a lot of things I want to do."
The "Houston Chronicle" reporter then asked: "Coach, what work have we done for tonight's game."
Su Yang briefly answered the preparation process, and then talked about how to set up offensive and defensive strategies, "Please pay attention to fans, tonight will be a brand new rocket, and you will see a completely different style of play from the previous one. I hope every time the defense is successful. Cheers."
The "USA Today" reporter then asked: "As the first Chinese-American to coach an NBA team and the youngest head coach in NBA history, what impact do you think this job has on you personally and on the Chinese-American community? "
Su Yang weighed in for a moment, "I don't think this is a special case. As Americans, Chinese Americans have nearly ten million people in the United States. With the development of society, Chinese Americans will show up more in all walks of life, just like African Americans and Americans. Latinos, and Indians, this is a matter of the times, I personally will not play a role in promoting or delaying, but I hope to break the stereotype."
The interview ended in turn. Su Yang rushed back to the locker room and put on a custom-made Chinese tunic suit. As the boss, Francis came over to help tidy up. Griffin, Arroyo and others lined up to give high fives to encourage, and the photographer arranged by the media department clicked Taking Pictures.
Wearing the badge donated by Tomjanovich, Su Yang stepped out of the locker room and walked into the player tunnel.Bill Worrell, who has been explaining for the Rockets for 17 years, came up, shook hands and said excitedly: "I have been waiting for a long time, you are the third Houston Rockets coach I have witnessed, of course I miss Rudy very much, but see I am also very happy to see you leading the team, and I wish you victory tonight."
"Thank you." Su Yang greeted with a hug.
Then go inside and talk to general manager Dawson, boss Alexander, personnel Lisa, Wells and other assistants, chief financial officer Marcus, scouting director Brent Johnson, sports training director Keith Jones, equipment Supervisor Jay Lamock, team doctor Thomas and others high-fived each other, while the mascot Rocket Bear finally waited at the door and presented a four-leaf clover necklace symbolizing good luck.
Su Yang lowered his head to let the Rocket Bear put it on, and several fans on the sidelines shouted, "Su, I'm from the forum..."
Su Yang smiled and waved, walked quickly to the family area behind the bench, took a photo with the two aunts, then walked to the VIP seat on the sidelines, and shook hands with Beyoncé, a local Houston star? Cool, good luck too.
In turn, I shook hands with a few wealthy local Chinese businessmen in Houston, thank you for your presence and support, and keep in touch in the future.
The pre-match appearance ceremony followed closely.
After the introduction of the five starters, the host shouted: "NOW! Welcome fans, the first ABC coach in the NBA, the youngest head coach in NBA history, the most handsome head coach in NBA history, Su? Young from Houston Katy! "
Cheers resounded throughout the audience.
Su Yang got up to face the spotlight and waved, took the microphone handed over by his boss Alexander, "Thank you for coming here tonight to support us, we will have many new changes this season, not much to say, get ready to win big and win big !"
Cheers resounded through the audience again.
