Chapter 644 The underestimated Greek

Xie Hou set the location for the midnight snack at "Xuewei and You".

I don’t choose my own store to save money, because there is nothing to eat for a late-night snack except Chinese food and cooked food.

Moreover, Xie Hou went to not the main store, but the branch near the Banker Life Stadium.

When they came, there were many fans who had just finished watching the game.

This branch looks like a bar and just offers catering services.

"You can find such a place," Claire smiled.

"This is definitely the best place we can find in Indianapolis, and the best place to have a midnight snack." Xie Hou can guarantee it.

It seems that you can have delicious late-night snacks elsewhere.

However, Indianapolis' catering is indeed incomparable to some foodie states.

After they landed, the waiter came over quickly.

Xie Hou ordered Texas steak, pasta and juice for himself.

"Su's donuts, thank you." Claire looked at him not eating too much, but a Su's donut was as good as a Texas steak.

Retired people can eat anything, but they can see that Xie Hou wants to retire...

Drinks are delivered first.

Claire also ordered juice, "If I don't drive later, I should toast you with the best wine. You are the first player in history to confront me in public and leave me helpless."

"I Sauri."

"No need to apologize."

"Sometimes, disputes are necessary. If you don't do this, I will think you don't have the determination to continue to fight." Claire said lightly, "Now I know your determination, I will let you fight until those two guys come back."

Xie Hou joked, "Then they have to come back soon. When I get used to the confrontation at the No. 4 position, they may have to play my substitute."

Xie Hou continued to play the fourth position, not without any hidden worries.

As for Claire, the biggest concern is that the two insider confrontations are too heavy, which will continue to reduce Xie Hou's feel and affect his takeover of the game at critical moments.

Another one is the wear caused by high-strength confrontation.

Why did load management become popular later? This theory turned the rest of the car into a scientific and reasonable existence, even the alliance recognized it.

Because the regular season schedule is long, few people can survive 82 games without being injured.

There is no shortage of Iron Man in the history of the NBA. Almost all of the top ten superstars in history have the ability to withstand roughness beyond ordinary people.

But there are many people who do not have such a body and they need proper rest to take care of their bodies. If load management can be introduced earlier, many players who are seriously injured due to overwork may survive.

Unfortunately, the era in which Xie Hou lived does not advocate rotational rest.

Moreover, even if he can take a rotation, no matter how he takes a rotation, he will play in the inside. It is a confrontation that is far beyond his load. It can be said that every minute he plays in the inside is an adventure that exceeds his physical load.

If you want not to get hurt, you can only avoid hitting the inside line or let your body get used to the intensity of the confrontation.

What Xie Hou lacks is not strength or body, what he lacks is the habit of fighting with the inside.

He has only played four power forwards at the moment, and he still has a long way to go before he gets used to the confrontation.

"The deal will happen soon, but I'm not optimistic about it," Claire said. "With the chips in our hands, we can't trade a good insider at all. You have to prepare for long-term difficulties."

Now it seems that Xie Hou is the one who opposes playing inside.

Xie Hou did not resist playing inside, and he was always preparing for it.

In the past half a month, his weight has recovered to 104 kilograms.

He plans to restore to 107 kg.

According to the trainer, it will take him about two months to recover.

Two months later, O'Neal or Kirirenko may return, and his weight gain will lose its meaning.

He has no choice, he doesn't gain weight, and it's hard to stand the inside.

It will be too difficult to go to the inside with a weight of 102 kilograms. He has no shortage of personal will, desire to confront and physical talent, but for such a long-term burden, the possibility of major injuries will be greatly increased, so it is necessary to prevent it.

Xie Hou invited Claire out for a midnight snack, and wanted to solemnly apologize for the incident that contradicted him in the locker room.

It seems that he doesn't feel at ease with that matter.

After untiing their knots, their topics changed from locker room to game. If he wanted to continue playing inside, the focus of his tactics would shift.

When Xie Hou held the ball, the Pacers' offense was the absolute core of the outside line.

The other four people are tool people, so Xie Hou beats wherever he pointed.

After Xie Hou went to the inside, the ball handler became Papalucas, and his tactical initiation ability was far inferior to Xie Hou, which was what Claire was worried about.

"Theo lacks offensive threats like you, and in the NBA, he is more suitable to be a 3D and ball transitioner on the backline."

This is the difference between Xie Hou and him.

The Dream Team has already experienced the style of a general that Papalucas showed on the FIBA ​​stage. Can the lack of offensive threats be explained by playing in the NBA? Could it be that he lacks offensive threats in the NBA and has an offensive threat in the FIBA? No, FIBA's court space is smaller and the suppression of attackers is greater. The teammates of the Greek national team are far inferior to those of the Pacers. Why did he play worse than those of the Pacers when he was in the national team?

Tacit understanding? The centripetal force between compatriots? The sense of honor for fighting for the country drove him out? Or... Is there something wrong with the Pacer's tactics?

"Do you think there is something wrong with our tactics?"

The tactics were questioned by the players, which was amazing. If Xie Hou proposed it in public, Claire had no other way out except to take the initiative to resign.

Being questioned about tactics means being questioned about his business ability. How can a coach who is questioned about his business ability by his core players lead the team?

"If I was the one holding the ball, there would be no problem." Is there any tactic in the world that Xie Hou can't play with the ball?

Claire is good at building systems and is good at tuning defense. His shortcomings are offensive planning and on-the-spot response.

He was not good at offense training, which was a fact that even he himself admitted.

Xie Hou raised it privately, which gave him enough space and time to reflect.

"Theo can't play, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is not good enough, it may also be that your tactics are not suitable for him." Xie Hou said something to reassure Claire.

Not suitable and bad are two concepts. They are completely different concepts.

"Arthur, there is nothing to say here, you and me." Claire smiled.

Are so many guests not human? Xie Hou glanced at the guests at other tables. Their disguise was really good and they were not recognized yet.

"Coach, you asked me to point out the offensive tactics, but I can't do it. I'm not an offensive coach. I have no research on offensive tactics. I can only tell you that Theo is not a 3D position for shooting three-pointers and defending, either in the CSKA or the Greek national team. The positioning of the ball transitioner is too wasteful for him." Xie Hou took advantage of this opportunity today and took the initiative to respond to Claire's problem with Papalucas.

Since joining the Pacers with Xie Hou in the summer of 2003, the Greeks have not received real attention in tactical terms.

Miller retired and he naturally became the starter. Claire values ​​his passing ability in tactics, his defensive pressure on the periphery and his famous open three-pointers against the Pistons in the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals.

The coaching staff's positioning of him has always been clear and simple.

Arthur's partner doesn't need to have too much talent.

It's enough to be able to defend, over-ball, occasionally control the ball, and shoot into the open opportunities created by Arthur for you.

Such low requirements are unintentional to Papalucas, who has proved himself on the world stage.

It's like telling him in a vague way: As long as you don't act like a waste, you can continue to play the starting lineup.

Papalucas has a tolerant personality and does not like to show off. Moreover, the Pacers have been positioning for many years, and even he has doubted his ability. Now that he has suddenly given a great task, he will control Xie Hou's ball-holding tactics, of course he can't do it.

"So, what should we do?" Claire asked Xie.

Xie Hou's advice is: "I have nothing to say tactically because I really don't understand. I can only recommend that you look at the game between Theo and I and, his game with the Greek national team."

"I believe you will meet a unique Theodoros Papalucas in the video."

Xie Hou's suggestions are all here. How to do it depends entirely on Claire himself. Judging from his importance to Xie Hou's suggestions, it is unlikely that he will ignore what Xie Hou said to him. He will definitely watch the video. If it is really useful, the Pacers' tactics will change drastically, and Papalucas proves that his days will not be too far away.

Next is the time to taste the midnight snack.

Claire ate six donuts in one go, and he repeatedly praised the chef's craftsmanship of "Xuewei and You".

"Arthur, it's time for me to criticize you, why don't you bring me here earlier?"

"Sorry, I should have contradicted you soon."

Claire laughed out loud, ate Su's donuts without a piece, and asked them one before leaving, even asked them if they had a takeaway service. When he got the affirmative answer, he immediately asked for the takeaway phone number.

Xie Hou suddenly worried that Claire's posture would develop horizontally.

There is no attractive feature in coaching, and his star face is like Mr. Hatano Yui. You know that Mr. Hatano has nothing to do with, but when you see him, you will inexplicably think of Chiling, so when you "rush forward", you will tend to choose her instead of other teachers.

If Claire eats himself like a pig, wouldn’t Xie Hou be the biggest accomplice?
