Chapter 119 Trying to Change
Larry Brown and Marbury are both serious, even saying a word, but Li Hai is fine with being submissive as long as the principle remains the same.
After all, basketball players rely on strength on the field, and what they say is far less effective than real strength.
Li Hai respectfully said: "We all want to do our best, but sometimes we don't understand well."
"The field is so tight, many times the mind is empty after playing the game. The coach will talk about my shortcomings first. I am responsible for the losing streak."
Seeing Li Hai's attitude is so good, Larry Brown's complexion is also better. He can see Li Hai's anger in training, and now he has a reputation and is willing to obey discipline. Such a player is rare of.
"The execution of tactics in the game is not as careful as in training, but it is not your problem alone."
"Coach, while there is still time, let's discuss it. Some players in the team don't understand tactics and are afraid you will scold them. It will be better if I figure it out and talk to them."
Li Hai also thought about this matter many times, and now he can express it clearly.
He quickly talked about the issue of organization. Several defenders of the team, Marbury, Crawford and Nate Robinson were all able to handle the ball, but only Marbury met the requirements in organizational ability. Organizational ability is not equal to passing the ball, so Marbury is a bit reluctant.
"Offense and defense can promote each other. The coach must also consider this issue. I think I have the ability to share the tasks of the organization."
Larry Brown stared at Li Hai for a while, seeing that Li Hai was not guilty, he finally didn't blame him.
"You and Marbury have the same problem. Organizational offense does not completely occupy the ball. Passing ability is only part of the organization. But you are better than him. If you want to take on the organizational ability, you must reduce the number of singles. , would you like it?"
Li Hai also knew about this situation, but he didn't have any organization experts around him to teach him.
"I am willing to help the team and ask the coach to teach me."
He played a trick, but his tone and attitude were correct, and Larry Brown didn't say anything.
Because Li Hai did have the qualifications to be a playmaker, Larry Brown also planned to try, which was originally one of the plans in his mind.
In the next training, Larry Brown asked the assistant coach to strengthen this attempt.
To be organized well, the first step after receiving the ball is not to consider personal offense first, and to instantly perceive the most suitable position on the field for attack at this time, or the position where it is easy to open tactics.
As a strong point like Li Hai, he must be able to adjust when he needs to score, and the two states cannot be confused, and the speed is the most difficult to grasp.
You may be able to touch the threshold through targeted training, but if you want to do it well, you can only rely on your personal understanding and experience accumulated from countless games.
In the evening, they were facing the Pacers team. With Li Hai's intervention, the previous conflicts did not have any impact.
Reggie Miller, the Pacers leader for many years this season, retired. General manager Larry Bird invited the European League Finals MVP Sarunas Jaskovicius from Europe to join. Unfortunately, Jasko Wei Hughes does not adapt to the NBA.
Some time ago, Artest injured his wrist and had a truce. They couldn't send the strongest lineup this time.
During this period of time, the Pacers used Jermaine O'Neal as the center, paired with Austin Croshire, who has peripheral shooting ability. In order to defend Jermaine O'Neal, the Knicks made Marcin Gortat, who was even better in height and weight. Served as the starter.
There is no way around this. The Knicks have a crisis inside, and Antonio Davis's competitive state has declined too quickly, so they can only use rookies who can work hard on the field.
Gortat was only able to do his best to defend Jermaine O'Neal. Within a few minutes, he committed two fouls, but the Knicks didn't think he could restrain Jermaine O'Neal.
However, the Knicks did a good job of defending from the perimeter, and Li Hai made Stephen Jackson extremely uncomfortable.
During the attack, Li Hai began to try a more qualified organization, so that Marbury could strengthen the attack.
In the first quarter, both sides did better defensively. Relying on O'Neal's strength in the interior, the Pacers led by 21 points at 19:2.
In the second quarter of the game, it was still Jermaine O'Neal who killed the four defenses. He successively beat Gortat, Antonio Davis, David Lee, Malik Rose, and Maurice Taylor. Among all the inside players, That is, Channing Frye didn't get fouled on his back.
However, the rotation of a large number of inside players has also reaped benefits. The Knicks have more rebounds than their opponents. No matter how good O'Neal is, it is impossible for him to do everything alone.
Except for O'Neal, the Knicks' defense against everyone else is very good. Li Hai gradually entered the role in the offense. Although he can't improve his organizational skills in one game, his height and long arms are also very good for passing the ball. Suitable, the Knicks are blooming more points, and they finally overtook the score at the end of halftime.
In the third quarter, Marbury saw that the coach didn't talk about him in the halftime lounge, and he played more aggressively in the offense, completely turning into a shooting guard's style of play.
Stephen Jackson on the Pacers side was in a sluggish state. He replaced rookie Danny Granger after only playing for a while. Granger is also the kind of guy who quickly adapts to the NBA. He can attack and defend. The performance is also better than Stephen Jackson.
Granger hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, and he was also very active in defending Li Hai.
Li Hai felt a little bit embarrassed when he saw the other party's excitement. He was still in the second season of the NBA, and now he was regarded as an object to be surpassed by young people who had just entered the league.
Granger was close to him, and he could feel that his physical fitness was also very strong, and Li Hai also became a little interested.
After receiving the ball, he passed the ball just like before. Granger's defensive center of gravity shifted immediately, but his overly sharp reaction sometimes had the opposite effect. He could feel the change of the opponent's center of gravity. Hai withdrew his feint and stepped to Granger's side in one step.
At this time, Granger showed his super flexibility and forcibly pulled his body back.
Li Hai had already made a shot at this time, Granger abruptly jumped up and blocked Li Hai's shooting line, but unfortunately the shot was also a fake.
When the whistle sounded, Li Hai smiled at the opponent and walked to the free throw line.
Granger's face flushed a little, seeing Li Hai easily hit the free throw, he couldn't let go.
