Chapter 198 The Preseason Begins
Coach Brown already knows that he should choose everyone to be the captain of this team.
And then he also appeared on the sidelines at the right time.
"Okay, the game is over, let's start training."
Then the team went into normal training.
In training, Iverson also held back his energy, he was very serious.
He also knew that he won the No. [-] pick not because of his own strength. There are many people who are stronger than himself.
The 76ers' first preseason game will start on October 1th. The 10ers will definitely participate in the preseason game. After all, it is a young team, and the running-in of the players is very important.
Coach Brown doesn't care about winning or losing in the preseason. He wants to observe the team's chemical reaction.
But for these young people, they don't like to lose, and no one likes to lose.
After a period of training and getting along, Iverson and Zhao Qiang have also become good friends.
In the first game, the 76ers challenged Athletic Bilbao in Europe. This is a European team. Although I don't know why the team arranged such a game, no one would want to lose the game.
Iverson touched Zhao Qiang, who was changing clothes beside him, and said, "We can't lose this game. If we lose, it will be embarrassing."
Zhao Qiang didn't think it was a big deal. The preseason was mainly about running in with his teammates, and it wasn't recorded in the regular season record.
It is still necessary to focus more on practicing cooperation again, and on the various chemical reactions that you have, and whether you win or not is secondary.
Zhao Qiang saw Iverson eager to try, "Okay, you are the main attacker in this game, and I will control the rhythm, so that you can play your famous name as the number one pick in the first game."
Iverson said happily: "That's interesting, I'll treat you to dinner when I go back."
Before the start of the game, the head coach Brown said to the players on the sidelines: "I don't need how many points you can score in this game or how good a certain person's performance is. I just want you to play all my tactical arrangements. Understand?" ?”
"clear."
Although Coach Brown said so, Iverson is already planning to win the game, and still in a heroic way.
Zhao Qiang was helpless. At this time, he was the only one who could control the rhythm of the team, and then play the tactics required by the coach.
In any case, unity is very important. If a team is not united, then it will definitely fall apart in an instant.
The 76ers' starting lineup includes point guard Zhao Qiang, shooting guard Iverson, small forward Derek McGee, power forward Ben Wallace, and center Mutombo.
Every player in the European team has no obvious characteristics, but for the team, they have a very obvious characteristic. They play team basketball very well.
They can pass a basketball non-stop until they have a good opportunity. Many NBA players are simply not used to their approach and will be confused.
The starting lineup of the 76ers is very good, and the defense on the inside is very strong.
Their scoring depends entirely on the perimeter. Today, Coach Brown will test his scoring ability from the perimeter.
However, Zhao Qiang felt that this was just right, so that Da Ben and Uncle Mu could feel the feeling of blocking the attack.
At the start of the game, Uncle Mu gave the ball to Zhao Qiang, who controlled the team's offense.
Zhao Qiang dribbled the ball halfway, and then handed the ball to Iverson.
Then Zhao Qiang made a gesture, and everyone moved away to let Iverson play singles.
Also by the way, try to see how the defensive state of this strong European team is.
The European team used a man-to-man defense, and Iverson passed the defender to the inside with a change of direction, and then scored an easy layup.
It seems that the defense of the European teams is not full, because generally for them they are good at two or three defenses, mainly blocking the penalty area.
The European team came to attack, and they began to pass the basketball non-stop. To be honest, these players in the NBA are not used to this kind of transmission, because they just keep passing without a breath.
To be honest, many NBA players simply cannot adapt to the rhythm of Europe. This is also the basis for many European teams to compete with NBA teams.
However, Zhao Qiang caught the ball quickly with his eyes and hands. After breaking the ball, Zhao Qiang did not launch a fast break immediately, but pressed down with his left hand to signal everyone to be more stable.
Slowly dribble across the half court, and then continue to pass the ball to Iverson for singles, because the European teams have not changed their defensive tactics, so the 76ers don't need to change their offensive tactics immediately.
Now Iverson's offense is still very effective. With his personal ability in singles, he tore through the opposite line of defense.
After 5 minutes of the game, Zhao Qiang found Iverson, "Man, it's time for us to show our tactics. You can see that the head coach's expression is not very good."
Iverson nodded. In the first 5 minutes, Zhao Qiang was very interesting. Basically, all the balls were handed over to him.
"OK, you are a point guard, everything is up to you, and I don't want to be scolded by the head coach."
Because of these 5 minutes, the European team also changed their style of play, that is, to conduct two or three joint defenses, mainly to block Iverson's impact on the penalty area.
At this time, Zhao Qiang started tactics and asked Daben to come up for the pick-and-roll, because Daben's strength is very strong, and there is no possibility of going forward on the opposite side of the pick-and-roll.
With Daben pick-and-roll, Zhao Qiang immediately went down, and the people on the opposite side outflanked it. Zhao Qiang didn't even look at it, aimed at the paint area at a 45-degree angle and passed it.
Iverson has already appeared in the open space. After receiving Zhao Qiang's pass, he immediately made an open shot and made a hit.
In the usual training tactics, Iverson also practiced a lot of off-ball running exercises.
The sense of smell is very good, and he ran out of the open space to get the basketball and scored two points.
Zhao Qiang and Iverson clapped their hands together, "Okay, Allen, I'll just pass the ball to the open space anyway, and it's up to you whether you can get there or not."
Iverson proudly said: "Even if you pass the ball to that empty position, I won't be blamed."
Talented people are always sympathetic to each other. Although the two of them tend to become competitors, it's just that the two of them also sympathize with each other.
Talented people always think of their ideas together, and Zhao Qiang is the kind of person who is especially suitable for all kinds of teammates.
The two of them relied on a very tacit cooperation to continuously attack the European team's basket.
However, these European teams are not vegetarians, and the team also played very well, relying on non-stop passing to successfully tear open the 76ers' defense.
Coach Brown just kept recording from the sidelines. .
