Black and White Confrontation

The game has reached the last goal, and the black team represented by Mo Mengchen has the chance to defeat the white team led by Hill.

Mo Mengchen and Hill each lead a team, which is almost the unspoken rule of the confrontation.

Although Mo Mengchen's personal abilities are far inferior to Hill, they always have wins and losses in the confrontation. The team led by Hill always likes to use personal abilities to solve problems, while Mo Mengchen is the opposite.

Collins doesn't like Hill's game, nor Mo Mengchen's game, because neither of them plays their own tactics.

Matt Jones kept muttering: "Mo is undoubtedly the best axis of a triangle offense. He can see anyone at the top of the arc. He is the sharp angle in the triangle!"

Collins didn't listen to his words. He has played four games so far, with the Pistons winning and losing two games.

In the game against the Trail Blazers yesterday, they were tortured by the opponent's forward group and eventually lost a crushing defeat.

The depth of their lineup has never been reflected. Compared to last season, there was one more Barkley player, and that's all.

The depth of the lineup was not reflected, so there were more negative comments about Collins.

There is only one way to make these sounds disappear, that is, win.

If you can't win, there will be more and more such voices, which will alarm the top executives and Collins will find it difficult to end.

He is now seriously considering the matter about changing the team system.

He wanted to change the system, but he didn't want the team to play a triangular offense because it was a tactic that he had abandoned. After he left office, the Bulls re-engineered this tactic and achieved success, which was a shame for his life.

Playing a triangle offense means admitting past failures, and he will never.

"Doug, we need to change."

Collins looked at it and the person who said this was offensive assistant Alvin Gentry.

"How to change?" Collins knew something about Gentry.

This person is a master of Larry Brown. He has been the head coach of the Heat for a while and has a rich resume. If this is not the case, he would not have recruited people.

"We have the best depth in the league and one of the best commanders in the league. We shouldn't play such a rigid game."

Gentry's words made Collins frown.

"You want to play a triangle attack, too?" Collins's eyes turned cold.

"No, we have a better choice," Gentry said. "Mo is one of the best commanders in the league. In my eyes, there isn't even one, we have Grant Hill, Charles Barkley, and Alan Houston, and we can play a more unrestrained attack."

Collins was not a fool who treated him as treasures when he heard a little disagreement. He wanted to see what Gentry's so-called more unrestrained attack was.

On the field, Mo Mengchen missed a three-pointer, Hill counterattacked, and they won.

Mo Mengchen, who lost the game, said nothing, took off his clothes from the match and sat on the sidelines to rest.

Gentry walked among them, called some people's names, and prepared to play another confrontation.

A bunch of people were eager to try. Most of the participants in this confrontation just now were rotations between the main players and the main players. Some substitutes and marginal players in the third lineup did not have the chance to play. Now they finally have the opportunity to show themselves in front of the head coach.

Compared to the trash time, the performance in this situation is more memorable.

Mo Mengchen knew something about Gentry. In his early years, he followed Brown and Popovich, he worked as assistant coaches on many teams. Later, he became famous when he was assistant coaches with the Suns and the Warriors, tied with Mike Malone. These two people can be said to be the best template for offensive assistant coaches and defensive assistant coaches.

He called another assistant coach, Collins's confidant Zina McLan, to play the confrontation together, and many people watched.

"What is this for?" Houston was puzzled.

The biggest player of these two teams is Dumas, and the others are rotation and substitutes. Many people have just played a confrontation game and have to continue before they can take a breath.

"Who knows." Hill didn't know what they wanted to do.

Mo Mengchen saw some problems.

Collins stood on the sidelines. If this match is irrelevant, he shouldn't pay so much attention. After all, there is not even a main player in this group. For him, it doesn't matter how the substitutes in the third lineup play, because he can't even play the advantage of the Pistons' lineup thickness.

Run, cover, pick-and-roll, quick attack.

Compared to the fire-like attack, their defense was very casual, and Mo Mengchen remembered the running and bombing.

Even if it is running and bombing, it is not so indifferent to defense. This is an offense that does not care about defense at all.

"It's not OK to fight like this." Frauses whispered.

Mo Mengchen heard his words: "Why can't it work?"

"Do you think this system is suitable for you?" Frauses asked.

Of course not suitable.

But Mo Mengchen said: "How can I know if I don't try it?"

Frauses smiled, “Will you put some food that looks so bad and smells smelly in your mouth to taste it?”

Won't.

It seems that Frauses has a lot of opinions about Gentry's offensive system. Mo Mengchen wanted to know what system he advocated: "Do you have a better way?"

"The Celtics ten years ago should be a good reference for reference," said Frauses.

Mo Mengchen was stunned, this was something he had never thought about.

What was the Celtic like ten years ago?

A defensive first, occasionally performing assault missions, most of the offense comes from hardworking guards who cut and catch shots: Dennis Johnson.

The low-level maniac who was second only to Olajuwon in the 1980s: McHale.

Diligent blue-collar coolie: Robert Parrish.

His career average of 24,106 games is completely unable to show how comprehensive he is: Larry Bird.

And, the lineup depth far stronger than the Pistons.

Mo Mengchen had to make some comparisons, his comparison with Masao Dennis Johnson - his defense will definitely be completely defeated by the opponent, his shooting is more outstanding and his organizational ability is stronger.

Barkley's lethality at low posts can be on par with McHale, at least this season, but at the same time, the former has better sense of passing and passing skills.

The Pistons currently do not have star blue-collar workers of the Chiefs level, but they have an inside thickness that other teams can't match.

Finally, Bird - Hill is currently only more athletic than Bird.

Last season, he averaged 2097, just reaching Bird's average data in the last year of his career...

To mention, Bird produced this data that year with his lost back and completely defeated athletic ability.

The gap is huge, but it is not irreparable.

Hill has the potential to do axes at low posts, and Mo Mengchen can make up for the organization's shortcomings.

What's more, they have an All-Star shooter Alan Houston compared to the old Celtics.

Indeed, this is a feasible solution.

But... Gentry's offense that has been played by the substitute is even more pleased by Collins.

Without high-intensity defense at all, he finished the game in ten minutes.

It can be seen that this confrontation is not defensive, which is incompatible with the Pistons' style and the high confrontation training they have been insisting on before.

Gentry's reason is also very simple: "They just finished a confrontation game. In order to avoid someone being injured, I asked them to control the intensity of the confrontation."

"You're very thoughtful." Collins smiled.

Frauses sighed: "It seems we are about to change the flag."

What can Momonchen say? Frauses' advice is good, but there are risks in fighting any system.

The old Celtics can become the overlord of the Eastern Conference with such a system and win three championships, which is inseparable from the selflessness of those people.

If the Pistons want to change to this system, Mo Mengchen doesn't know how many people in the team will not adapt.

At the same time, Mo Mengchen was also not optimistic about Gentry's system.

This is a completely replica of running and bombing. Unlike modern running and bombing, his running and bombing does not require defense at all, and offense is the first priority.

This style of play will definitely be beaten to the point of diarrhea in the playoffs.

"That's fucking damn."

Mo Mengchen cursed inwardly.

Looking back at my overall review, I only have 71, what can he do?
Chapter completed!
