Chapter 560
On the night of returning to Saskatchewan from New York, Su Yang was at home, holding a meeting with the teaching assistant team in Las Vegas.
The topic of the meeting was how to use Jokic efficiently.
Needless to say, the positioning must be the high-post axis support, occasionally shooting a few three-pointers, the low-post strong defensive center, and then playing with Cousins in the high-low link. Choose, and squat to defend professional households.
No way, Jokic is not perfect, and his slow lateral movement makes him, like many big centers, difficult to deal with pick-and-rolls.
Fortunately, steals and blocks are okay, as long as you don't meet Paul's level of mid-range shooting/passing masters, you can make do.
"He always reminds me of Sabonis, the former European center of the Trail Blazers. They are also omnipotent..." assistant coach McMillan said excitedly, "Su, you should come to Las Vegas to watch him play the Summer League game. We can choose He was so lucky."
Su Yang nodded to McMillan on the video side, and casually clicked on the webpage to check the Summer League news, searched for the two keywords King and Jokic, and suddenly saw a news headline "Jokic Summer League's fastest triple-double king Beat the Heat by 20 points".
Looking at the article carefully, it mainly said that Jokic achieved a triple-double in only halftime, and his speed ranked first in the history of the Las Vegas Summer League. Although it was just a news gimmick, it did reflect that Jokic Odd all-round ability.
Su Yang couldn't help recalling the fact that in order to get Jokic, he sent people to Serbia to stay for nearly two months in advance. The main reason was that Jokic was already well-known in Europe at that time, because Nike Youth Summit and other world competitions, in some American football games There are also positions in the scouts. Famous centers like Bill Walton often receive emails from scouts asking for help in analyzing and praising Jokic.
Speaking of which, Zhou Qi's performance at the Nike summit was much higher than that of Jokic, and so was Wang Zhelin.
Of course, there are many teams that see Jokic's potential.
But few teams are really willing to gamble.
Antetokounmpo and Gobert are the same case.
"We may get the last center in the NBA who can be a high-post center. This is our luck and our responsibility. I think he is worthy of starting the game. He has already proved his self-discipline ability by losing weight, and he has worked hard to polish his skills..."
Assistant coach Di Brown went on to blow Jokic,
"From Bill Russell and Wes Unseld grabbing the rebound and throwing the fast break, to Bill Walton's perfect balance of support and low-post offense, and Sabonis can do everything, and Divac's gorgeous offense Acting as a lubricant, such centers are gradually decreasing, and now there are only two Gasol brothers, Paul and Mark, and Jokic represents the last supporting center."
Su Yang was almost dumbfounded.
I thought that Di Brown's praise of Jokic meant that Bill Walton could say even more coquettish words, which belonged to the glory of guarding the center.
But some of it is also true.
At least for weight loss, Jokic can be the MV guest of Rocket Girl "Burn My Calories".
Skill polishing is not yet visible.
At least it is difficult to prove it in Summer League level games.
However, judging from past experience, Jokic in the 15-16 season was able to achieve the third highest offensive efficiency in the league and a historical level of real plus-minus in the case of limited playing time and no special tactics around it. should be no problem.
After all, polish training a year in advance.
Personality has also changed.
It should only be stronger.
Assistant coach Mike Brown took the topic, and showed a screenshot of the email by the way, the content was the statistical results of the horizontal and vertical axes.
"He is indeed a unique existence. The people from Sportrada sent me an email the day before yesterday. The simulation data shows that Jokic is expected to Become a support center at the historical level, that is, Sabonis and Walton mentioned by Brown just now, he can be perfectly compatible with our system..."
Su Yang stared at the screenshot carefully.
Jokic's "quality of the possession of the ball" is particularly outstanding, much better than Duncan, but the "number of possessions digested" is far inferior to Duncan, and not as good as O'Neal, but it is not too bad. It can be regarded as passing and playing, and it is indeed close to Wharton. And Sabonis style.
Di Brown chuckled: "I don't need data simulation to see that those companies should hire me as a special consultant."
McMillan also laughed: "I guess I want you to buy the software, or let you tell Su, and then buy their software..."
"As long as the analysis is valuable, you can buy it..."
Su Yang turned to adjust the topic: "Now we have reached a consensus on the fact that Jokic is very good. Here comes the key issue. On the offensive end, we will continue to use some of Green's tactics. people?"
It is not difficult for Cousins and Jokic to be compatible offensively. One is high and the other is low, and they can even be interchanged. Defense is really painful.
Both of them squatted in the pit, and it would definitely not work for Antetokounmpo to defend alone, but it is really difficult for two people to defend against the small pick-and-roll.
Su Yang made some changes to Cousins before, which reduced Cousins' technical and common fouls a lot, but there is really no good way to prevent pick-and-rolls. After all, the weight is there, and the lateral movement can't be fast, but it can Double-teams, but hard to get back on defense.
The same goes for Jokic.
Not being able to defend the pick-and-roll or screen effectively is a pain in the ass in an era when the league has become more and more popular about shooting [-]s off the pick-and-roll or screen.
Green's departure has a great impact on the King's defense.
"... "
The three teaching assistants were silent for a while.
McMillan said after a while: "I suggest using a lot of local three defenses and two defenses, reducing the difficulty of Jokic and Cousins defense through rotation, and shifting the defensive focus, and adopting a formation such as a three-two defense, and arranging Giannis to advance Switch."
Su Yang nodded, it is also a way.
But the efficiency is still low.
Antetokounmpo and Curry will be under a lot of pressure.
Mike Brown went on to say: "I suggest a lot of double-teaming, let the two of them directly apply pressure, and Giannis will be responsible for covering the players who cut down the air. Just get through the opening minutes. After all, we have strong offensive firepower. When the two stagger their rotations, Covington and Turner can make up for it very well, and they can even play more games with Grant, who has a good ability to protect the frame.
Or directly let Jokic serve as a fake starter, so that he can better control the ball, but the starter is not so arbitrary. "
Su Yang nodded again.
What Meyer Brown said is also a way. The problem is that Antetokounmpo will be under a lot of pressure. When encountering players and teams with broken double teams and weak teams, he can win very well, but when encountering players like Harden and the Spurs Team, will be hammered to pieces.
"I suggest that you are too concerned about the opponent's use of screens and pick-and-rolls to target Jokic or Cousins, and arrange for two people to follow the small players to move, intercept and break through quickly. There are only a few three-pointers in the league, and one of them is in our team. king…"
Assistant coach Di Brown is more optimistic.
In fact, it is also a solution strategy.
It is probably 'three-point shot dead I admit it'.
Su Yang thought for a moment, decided not to make a summary, wait for the start of the regular season, and make adjustments according to the opponent's characteristics.
Those strategies are not the best, but there is no better way for the time being. Jokic and Cousins are a bit like Gasol and Bynum, defending pick-and-rolls and screens. And control the rebounds for defense.
Su Yang didn't think he had the ability to perfectly solve the problem that Phil Jackson couldn't completely solve from the tactical level.
The topic then turned to offensive tactical design.
The three assistant coaches were very enthusiastic and quickly put forward many ideas. There are too many tactical references for the main center to support.
The main thing is that Jokic can still shoot three-pointers, and the design is easier.
In the afternoon of the next day, fly directly to Las Vegas, personally oversee the remaining few summer league games of the Kings, and strive for the three consecutive championships.
The opponent is the Timberwolves.
After the game, the Kings won by 11 points, and Jokic had 18 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds. The data was close to that of the No. [-] pick Towns.
But the efficiency is beyond Downs.
TNT team reporter Maggio interviewed Su Yang on the sidelines and asked, "What do you think of Jokic?"
On a whim, Su Yang decided to copy Bill Walton's evaluation of Jokic in advance, which can be called the pinnacle of NBA praise.
"When you see a man like Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King Jr. or Mahatma Gandhi, they see the future and know how to get where they need to be before anyone else, Neil Same with Gula Jokic. The end of selfishness is the beginning of joy, and Jokic is a breath of fresh air in a game where individuals typically dribble a lot. And his imagination, watching him play It's like watching Bob Dylan come up to you singing..."
Before I finished speaking, the people of Maggio were all stupid.
