Chapter 283 New Season(2/2)
For example, Phil Jackson, even if he is no longer the head coach, he is the general manager.
When he went to the Knicks, he always insisted on the triangle offense.
The other kind of coach creates a set of tactics that is most suitable for the team based on the team's situation.
He can adapt the tactics to the team, rather than having the team adapt to the tactics.
For example, Popovich, as the head coach of the Spurs, his tactics are never static.
When there is a super insider, he can play around the super insider. Without it, he can also use other tactics.
Paul Westphal prefers the latter and listens to others' advice.
After adjustments, the SuperSonics' game rhythm will be faster and there will be more three-point shooting tactics.
To be honest, this actually smells like bombardment.
Moreover, the SuperSonics have high-quality point guards like Gary Payton. Although they are not as perfect as Nash for bombardment tactics, they are enough.
However, they don't have any 7-second offense.
To be honest, the so-called 7-second attack actually puts a tight curse on the bombardment tactics, which is unnecessary.
If there is no better opportunity, you can stop and engage in positional warfare.
Moreover, the SuperSonics did not give up on defense, and emphasized the importance of defense even more.
Today's NBA is not the NBA of future generations.
If you completely copy the Warriors' tactics, to be honest, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.
Today's penalty whistles are not the body hair whistles of later generations, which allow for unbridled attack space.
In today's NBA, if you want to have enough offensive space, you have to fight for it yourself.
In fact, today's SuperSonics team is more like the Heat team with the Big Three.
Look for all opportunities to transition between offense and defense, and then hand over the offensive dominance to the stars, surrounded by a group of shooters.
The difference is that the core players, Wang Hao and Gary Payton, do not have the breakthrough ability of James and Wade.
However, the two of them are not bad either.
Judging from the results of the training games, the Sonics are in good shape in adapting to tactics.
Moreover, through these few days of training, Paul Westphal has grown up after seeing Wang Hao's words.
Especially in low post singles, he is already very mature.
In fact, Wang Hao has already communicated with Paul Westphal and Gary Payton about this matter.
He hopes to increase his shots in the low post.
Paul Westphal is naturally happy to see the results. As a result, the Sonics will have more ways to attack tough problems.
Although Paul Westphal is not that rigid, his sense for three-pointers is not bad either.
However, he also believes that the closer to the basket, the higher the corresponding shooting percentage.
As for Gary Payton, of course I wouldn't disagree.
Although he is also good at post-ups in the low post, he is a point guard after all and will not occupy too many low posts.
As for other members of the Sonics, there are very few low-post offenses.
Time is passing day by day, seeing that the new season is about to arrive, each team is also entering into the final preparations.
That's right, it's the preseason.
This season, the NBA officially arranged 4 preseason games for the Sonics, which is not a lot.
Moreover, they are all domestic games in the United States, which is good news for the Sonics.
4 preseason games, two home games, two away games, one in the east and one in the east.
By eliminating the hassle of traveling and traveling, the Sonics can enter the new season in the best possible condition.
On October 13, the SuperSonics went to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks.
On October 16, they will travel to Memphis again to face Memphis' new owner, the Grizzlies.
That's right, the Grizzlies have moved from Vancouver to Memphis.
On October 20th and 25th, the SuperSonics will face the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
None of the four opponents are strong, which is also a good thing for the Sonics, as they can fully consider the issue of running-in.
Nowadays, the Sonics finally have a bit of a strong team image, and NBA officials have begun to take care of them in all aspects.
Before the game starts, there is also a media open day, and the training camp needs to be opened to media reporters.
The NBA is like this, and the requirements are very strict.
On the media open day, no one is allowed to be absent without excuse, not just the players, but also the coaches and management.
Not only that, you also have to maintain a good attitude when communicating with the media and cooperate with interviews.
At the same time, the media open day is also a promotional day for the team.
In addition to a large number of interviews, the team's promotional videos and posters will also be released on this day.
In the team's makeup photos, Wang Hao is naturally the absolute core.
"Hi Wang, hello, I'm Jenny, a reporter from ESPN. I'm glad to interview you."
When it came to the interview session, Wang Hao naturally received a lot of attention and answered a large number of questions.
For example, what are your goals for the new season? Do you have the confidence to face the Lakers? Who is No. 1 in the league today?
Regarding these questions, the Sonics team has actually reached a consensus and has some relatively standard answers.
For example, the goal for the new season must be the championship.
As for whether you have the confidence to face the Lakers, of course you do, but at the same time, you have to praise the Lakers.
The Sonics want to have confidence, but they are just challengers and will continue to challenge the Lakers.
In addition to group interviews, he also has exclusive interviews.
"Hello, Jenny."
Wang Hao shook hands with the beautiful reporter with a very gentlemanly look. The fair-haired girl looked pretty good.
Not only that, Jenny also behaved very generously and delicately, and did not forget some small gestures when shaking hands.
Of course, Wang Hao turned a deaf ear to this.
This is a reporter. It is self-evident what the purpose is. Wang Hao does not want his private life to appear in a biography in the future.
Americans really have no scruples in this regard.
How many ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends of big celebrities rely on revelations about their ex’s excesses?
"Last season, the SuperSonics narrowly lost the seven Western Conference finals against the Lakers. So what about this year?"
"As challengers, we will continue to challenge the Lakers. We all know that the Lakers hope to win three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty.
It’s just that this won’t be that easy. The Sonics won’t agree to it, and neither will I.”
"It feels like a villain. Will the Sonics be the villain on the Lakers' road to winning three consecutive championships?"
"I think so."
"Michael Jordan has returned with the Wizards. Do you have any expectations for playing against the Wizards this season?"
"Of course, this is Michael Jordan. I have played against him in training camp before and he has maintained a good game condition.
To be honest, for a player who has retired for three years, this is unimaginable, maybe this is Michael Jordan."
