Chapter 211 Zen Master’s Method

Midway through the second half, the score between the two sides was rising anxiously.

Because both sides played very well in pick-and-roll tactics, neither side found a good way to limit the opponent's tactics.

This anxiety lasted until the end of the third quarter.

The score between the two sides came to 81:79

The Dallas Mavericks lead by two points.

"Smith, the situation between the two sides seems to be at a stalemate," Alan Zucker said. "If this continues, it's really hard to say who will win or lose."

"Yes, now it depends on who can break the deadlock first in the fourth quarter." A Smith said, "To be honest, both sides played pick-and-roll tactics very well. I have been thinking about how to break the deadlock just now off the court.

This tactic, but I thought about it for a long time, and it’s really difficult to destroy it.”

"I think the players on both sides have actually done a good job on the court," Alan Zucker said. "Now I think it depends on the arrangements of the coaches on both sides. During the third quarter, I don't know if they can make the arrangements."

What wonderful arrangement can help your team break the game?"

"Yes, you and I came together. As basketball media reporters, we have watched many games and understand many tactics, but compared with those coaches, we are still amateurs after all. I think they must always be the same off the court.

They are all studying ways to break the game. Especially for Phil Jackson, to be honest, he didn't do much in this game. You can see that Dallas Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson has been making adjustments.

, but Zen Master didn’t call many timeouts throughout the game. He only called timeouts to replace Lu Yusheng when the score was really behind and there was no other way.”

"So you think that Zen Master should stand up and contribute at this time. You can't just stay inactive just because there is a tactical genius like Lu Yusheng on the court. He should also make some contributions to the team." Alan Zak said.

.

"No Zach, although I understand what you mean, I can't express it this way. I never said that Master Zen didn't do anything during the whole game. This is wrong. In fact, he completely let go and let Lu Yusheng adjust the team's tactics on the court.

, which in itself is a great achievement,

Think about it, after all, Lu Yusheng is just a rookie. It is a great achievement for a rookie to completely control the team and make tactical adjustments on the court. Just think, which other coach in the league dares to do this?

"A Smith said.

"Well, if you say so, I think it is indeed the case. I guess it would be difficult for any coach in the league to make such a bold decision. After all, it does involve taking a lot of risks." Allen

Zach said.

"Yes, that's why I said that the reason why Zen Master is able to achieve his current achievements is inseparable from his style. Sometimes, if you want to achieve great things, you must have such courage, otherwise you will

It’s hard to achieve high levels of achievement.”

A Smith said, "This is why I just said that I hope Jackson can stand up and come up with constructive tactics to help the team when there is only one quarter left in the game, because he is a coach at this level.

, if everyone has no other solution, I think he should have high hopes."

"Oh, then I understand, that is to say, when everyone seems to have no solution, it is possible for legendary coaches like Phil Jackson to come up with effective solutions, right?" Alan Zucker said

.

"Yes, that's what it means." A Smith said.

Off the court, Lu Yusheng also asked the Zen Master the same question.

"Is there a way to solve their pick-and-roll scheme?"

The Zen master smiled and said, "What can you come up with?"

Lu Yusheng shook his head, "I really don't have any good ideas now. The two of them are indeed very suitable for playing pick-and-roll. The previous methods seem to be of no use to them."

"Indeed," the Zen master nodded, "you have tried it on the field, and it seems that the effect is not very great."

Lu Yusheng:......

Isn't this nonsense?

"But I told you before, sometimes, when you are in it, you will see the problem very vaguely. You have to find a way to jump out and see the problem. We are playing a basketball game, but sometimes, the way we think about the problem,

It’s not just a basketball game, it’s a philosophy of life,” the Zen Master said with profound meaning.

This is what bothers Lu Yusheng the most about him, okay, I'm asking about tactics, and you're talking to me about the philosophy of life and the philosophy of life.

Although everyone respectfully calls you Zen Master, you can't really think of yourself as the abbot, right?

"So...what's your coping strategy?"

"No, I'm asking you," the Zen master said, "I mean, since you are on the court and have used all the previous coping strategies, but none of them work, what should you do in this situation? This is

It's like, in life, you encounter a problem and you have tried every solution you can think of, but none of them work. What do you think you should do in this situation?"

Lu Yusheng still looked confused, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Seeing this, the Zen master said, "The answer is very simple. If there is no direct effect, then adopt a plan that you think will cost you the least, whether it is now or in the future."

"What if we return to the competition?" Lu Yusheng asked.

Jackson didn't answer because the whistle for the fourth quarter had already sounded.

He only said, "Lu, do you know where you surprise me?"

"What?"

"Your physical strength is amazing. This will be the biggest improvement for you." The Zen master said, "Okay, the game has begun, come on."

Lu Yusheng:......

Thank you for telling me such an important discovery. If you didn't tell me, I probably wouldn't have been able to discover such an important and amazing secret in my life.

Lu Yusheng was a little helpless, couldn't you tell me the answer directly? Isn't it your coach's responsibility to arrange tactics? In such a short period of time, you asked me to stop guessing, it's just...

It seems that this old man has no hope, and it depends on himself.

Dallas Mavericks ball possession.

After Devin Harris dribbled the ball past half court, Nowitzki quickly ran up and started a pick-and-roll for him.

This time, Lu Yusheng still chose to switch defense.

But after the defense switch, he was still responsible for defending Nowitzki. In previous games, when he did this, the Dallas Mavericks always let Nowitzki beat him. This kind of big fight against small players, even if Lu Yusheng really

I tried very hard to defend, but the effect was still not good.

After all, with shots like Nowitzki's, even their No. 4 Odom would have a hard time defending, let alone Lu Yusheng at the No. 1 position.

Sure enough, this time the Dallas Mavericks still did not change their strategy, and Nowitzki still beat Lu Yusheng.

Even though he was taught a terrible lesson by Nowitzki before, this time, Lu Yusheng still put on a posture and planned to prevent the ball.

Off the court, on the Lakers bench, Kobe said to Zen Master, "I don't think you need to say too many mysterious things to him. Wouldn't it be better to tell him the answer directly?"

The Zen master smiled slightly and shook his head, "No, Kobe, you know, the relationship between the coach and the players is actually a teacher-student relationship. As a coach, during your coaching period, you have an obligation to let your players get the best results."

The biggest growth, and the education method I have always admired, do you know what it is?"

"What is it?" Kobe asked.

"Teachers must not educate all students in the same way," said the Zen master. "This is the stupidest and laziest way of education. It is also completely irresponsible to your students because of the differences between people.

There is a big difference in the talent and understanding ability of your students, so teachers must have different education methods for different students."

"You mean, for Lu, we must use this kind of puzzle education method?" Kobe asked.

"Yes, I have said before that this kid's tactical sense is a talent that I have never seen before. I have never seen it before. Therefore, as a coach, I must let him develop in this aspect.

"

"You don't want him to take over your mantle and become the head coach of a team in the future, right?" Kobe said. "As far as I know, he shouldn't have any interest in this aspect."

"Oh, that's not the case. I have never thought about it that way. Although I know that with his talent in this area, if he becomes the head coach, he will definitely be a legendary coach. But at the moment, I have no such plan. The reason why I

To cultivate his ability in this area, we mainly hope that he can help more teammates on the court."

"But I think what you just said is a bit too profound, and he may not be able to understand it," Kobe said.

"Then do you understand?"

Kobe smiled disdainfully, "Of course I understand, but Phil, I won't do what you said. I won't place my hopes on my opponents. I only believe in myself."

The Zen master also smiled, "So I just said that for different students, I will use different ways to educate. For you, obviously you can't use the same method just now, but for Lu, let him understand it by himself.

The process is an incentive for him. He is very disdainful of my education method, so when he understands it, he will think that it is his own contribution. This is an incentive. Do you understand what I mean?

"

Kobe:…

"Damn, you old fox, it turns out this is a kind of motivation. I feel like you have completely manipulated him." Kobe said, "If you let him know that you are deliberately provoking his emotions to motivate him, I think he might

He will be so angry that he will explode."

The Zen master smiled.

"Also, the team doctor just said that my injury should not be serious and I can play." Kobe said, "Get ready and let me play."

"are you sure?"
