Chapter 26
Su Yang received the official email notification on the evening of the 19th, and the new season training camp will be held on October [-]st. He and other coaches have about ten days to build a tactical system. The task is very heavy and the time is very short.
The greater the pressure, the more motivated he is. After all, the opportunity to change the course of history is in front of him, and he is inexplicably excited.
He slept soundly until dawn, and began to classify and design at seven o'clock in the morning, starting from positional tactics, to fast break tactics, to early offensive tactics, as well as sideline kick tactics and bottom line kick tactics, and finally ATO tactics.
Focusing on the technical characteristics of each player, he specifically designed various small coordination, and some opened up singles.
He worked a full thirteen hours, except for eating, sleeping and going to the bathroom, he almost devoted himself to tactics.
In order to prevent the rest of the coaching staff from feeling too aggressive, he gave up some three-point tactics and designed more mid-range shots.
On the 21st, he rushed to the Trail Blazers training base and met with McMillan and other coaches to exchange work progress.
Unexpectedly, he opened the PPT for less than 2 minutes before McMillan signaled a pause.
"Su, you can't let the players play so fast. They haven't developed tactical awareness yet. Too much emphasis on speed will only make them play randomly and increase their risk of injury. We have to slow down and play like the Spurs, do you understand? "
McMillan's tone was very sincere, and he didn't mean to suppress Su Yang at all, but he really felt that he couldn't play fast.
Seeing this, Su Yang felt rather entangled, because McMillan was a good man, but not a good coach.
It's okay for the Spurs to play slowly, but the Blazers are not suitable for playing slow.
In Su Yang's view, the average age of Spurs players is older, and their technical characteristics tend to be stable, while the average age of Trail Blazers players is younger, and their technical characteristics tend to be elegant. Forcibly playing slowly will suppress their growth rate and even weaken their upper limit.
But to prove this point, a lot of competition proof is needed, after all, this group of people has just been formed.
Just like the Big Three of the Heat in the original historical trajectory, they played slowly when they were first formed. As a result, their record in the first half of the season was mediocre.
There are also those like the Grizzlies, who originally played slowly, but insisted on speeding up and playing fast, but ended up losing all the way.
"I understand what you mean, so I think the preseason is a good opportunity. We can make some attempts. Even if we lose too much, there will be no pressure on the record. The players will understand the difference between the two styles, which is absolutely beneficial and harmless."
Su Yang's tone was equally sincere, but he couldn't think of any other way, because McMillan's understanding of the game was very outdated, and he would still play in the 90s in another ten years, and even used pick-and-roll shooting as his main tactic.
"I understand what you mean, but Oden's absence due to injury will have a great impact on our season goals. We need to seize all available time to adapt the new lineup. We can't let young people lose too much. We need to build a winning culture."
After McMillan finished speaking, he signaled Su Yang to talk about the specific inside tactics, especially the opening of the space.
"OK, let me talk about how to create easy opportunities for Aldridge to catch the ball..." Su Yang no longer struggled, because what McMillan said was all correct. This is purely a strategic direction. Only time will tell who is against whom. wrong.
On September 28th, the Trail Blazers held a media meeting for the new season. Oden also attended on crutches, but the number of media present was not as large as that of Oden's trial training. The reporters no longer cared about the Blazers' goals for the new season. .
That night, many people broke the news on the Internet, saying that ESPN and TNT are planning to cancel a large number of Blazers' national live broadcasts, which may be reduced from 12 games to 3 games.
After the news came out, the phone at the Trail Blazers ticket office kept ringing. Many Trail Blazers fans wanted to refund their tickets for the opening game against the Spurs and the Christmas game against the Sonics. Those news made them feel that the game would be boring.
The Trail Blazers were confused internally and hadn’t responded yet. ESPN PR spokesperson Nate Smits said that he hoped to present the most exciting and top-level NBA games to American audiences, and Oden’s injury turned all that into Bubbles.
League vice president Tim Frank also admitted that he is negotiating with ESPN and TNT, emphasizing that changing the number of live broadcasts in the United States may be a decision that is beneficial to everyone, but the Blazers will be a little embarrassed.
The Blazers officials did not respond, but the operations department approached Kevin, hoping to do something to reverse the situation.
Kevin did the same thing, but in an interview, he said that the team's season will not be a bad one, but will hit the playoffs.
Su Yang tweeted that the young Blazers are worth looking forward to. He would definitely regret canceling the national live broadcast. He also suggested that fans should not refund tickets, but most of the comments were all kinds of sarcasm. Let him recognize the reality and stop thinking about relying on big words to become famous.
Amid the downturn, the Trail Blazers' training camp for the new season was held as scheduled, and Oden attended several times on crutches.
A few days of training ended in a blink of an eye, and the effect was visible to the naked eye. The Blazers returned to the state of two-on-three last season. Except for Aldridge and Roy, the other players were quite uncomfortable. String puppets.
McMillan said that it doesn't matter, and he will continue to practice with games in the future. The road ahead is tortuous, and the future is bright.
On October NO.11, the Trail Blazers flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers in an away game, starting the first game of the preseason.
The Trail Blazers played with all the main players, while the Clippers, Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, Chris Kaman, and Sam Cassell all sat off the court, led by rookie El Thornton. team, the other main force is Josh Powell.
As a result, the two teams fought fiercely for 48 minutes, and a Clippers player whose name had never been heard beat the Blazers.
After a day off, the Blazers sit at home and face the Denver Nuggets from afar.
On the Nuggets side, the core player Anthony truce, Iverson played with a group of rookies, while the Trail Blazers still had an all-out main lineup, and even deliberately let Aldridge and Frye play a double-high lineup, intending to limit the Nuggets' breakthrough.
The two teams were inseparable in the first half, but who would have thought that after the start of the third quarter, the Blazers fell into a scoring drought for several minutes, and the Nuggets took the opportunity to play a wave of 20 to 5. By the end of the third quarter, they extended their lead to 21 points.
The game turned into garbage time, the Nuggets sent a full bench lineup in the fourth quarter, and the Blazers took the opportunity to chase points.
But the embarrassing thing is that the Blazers are a group of main players, and their offensive firepower is not as good as that of the Nuggets' substitutes. In the last 2 minutes of the game, they were still behind by 15 points. .
NO.15, the Blazers sit at home against the Eagles.
The main players such as Roy and Alder played, and the Hawks were led by Joe Johnson and Josh Smith.
Unexpectedly, after only one quarter of the game, the Blazers were killed to the ground, and all the data were blown up in all directions.
Throughout the second half, the main force of the Eagles did not play, and the Blazers lost as many as 18 points. The scene was extremely ugly.
After four full days of rest, the Blazers flew to Las Vegas to play two consecutive exhibition games with the Kings.
Artest seemed to have returned to the top, ruthlessly plundering the front line, and the Blazers lost both games by a slight disadvantage.
On the 25th, the Blazers challenged the Nuggets away.
Anthony went into battle, teamed up with Iverson on a rampage, and clocked out of get off work again in three quarters.
After losing six preseason games in a row, major media began to report on the Trail Blazers' dilemma. Many fans and commentators said that it was the right decision to cancel the Blazers' national live broadcast game, otherwise the opening game and the Christmas game would be wasted.
On the 27th, the Blazers challenged the SuperSonics away.
The two teams fought hard until overtime, Durant scored 45 points and completed the lore with a double team.
That night, the topic of 'the Blazers missed Jordan again' went viral on major basketball forums.
The Trail Blazers team quietly returned to Portland with a tragic record of defeat in the preseason.
After a day off, the whole team gathered at the base to prepare for the upcoming regular season opener.
Su Yang stood on the sidelines to observe the players training, and suddenly saw Kevin and his boss Paul Allen walking in.
Paul Allen called the coaching staff to discuss and said directly: "We need a change, a big change."
As soon as the words were finished, Su Yang turned to look at McMillan, and McMillan also looked at him.
"Let's have an experimental game within the team. Su has some bold ideas..." McMillan said, "If we can prove that those ideas will not rely too much on individual strength, we can slowly put them into the team's offensive and defensive system."
"Okay, let me try with a substitute lineup..." Su Yang understood what McMillan really meant.
