Chapter 450: The Urban Legend of the NBA
The collapse of the Timberwolves came a little quickly.
The Timberwolves can't find the core, and everyone is the core's offensive system. If it collapses, it collapses.
The core of the Timberwolves' interlocking offensive system is Yi Jianlian?
Ye Si felt a little unbelievable.
Not only Jess was incredible, but many NBA head coaches who were watching the game in front of the TV found it incredible.
The Timberwolves are a very special team in the NBA this season.
The overall strength of this team is not very strong, but it is difficult to defend against the naked eye!
There are many teams that beat the Timberwolves, but no team has ever been able to defend the Timberwolves.
Whether it is the offensive invincible Suns or defensive invincible Rockets, there is no way to pinch the Timberwolves.
What does this mean?
This means that as long as the Timberwolves players grow up, this offensive system may be invincible in the future!
Timberwolves head coach Randy Whitman is not a well-known head coach in the NBA. He spent most of his time in the NBA coaching position as an assistant to former Timberwolves and Pistons head coach Philip Saunders.
Whitman has been an assistant coach with the Timberwolves since 1994, and has been an assistant coach with the Timberwolves for a total of ten years until 2006.
In the past ten years, he has been with Sanders for nine years.
It can be said that Whitman has made great contributions to Sanders' reputation as a famous coach in the NBA, including Sanders' greatest reputation, which has cultivated Garnett.
Whitman's reputation in the NBA is not great, and his performance as the head coach of the Cavaliers during the period was not good enough, which makes it easy for people to overlook his ability to train young players.
Especially the ability to cultivate young insiders.
In a commercial league like the NBA, everything the head coach does is focused on performance.
In the NBA, winning and losing masters are not hard to find.
Most head coaches are winners and losers.
There are not many head coaches who cultivate players like Whitman.
In particular, there are very few head coaches who have established a rookie insider as the core of the team!
"The core of this tactical system is actually Yi?!"
Watching the game on TV, the eyes of Sun coach D'Antoni and Rockets coach Adelman were filled with deep surprise.
Yi Jianlian is also a well-known rookie in this year's Jordan magician's diamond generation.
The potential is very large.
But no matter how big it is, it will not be established as the core as soon as it comes up.
In the history of the NBA, there are very few players who are established as the core as soon as they enter the league. Yes, James, etc. are very few.
And the Timberwolves are different from the Supersonic Cavaliers. The Timberwolves have many outstanding young people with potential.
But in the end, Whitman actually chose Yi Jianlian? !
I have to say that this person is really bold in cultivating newcomers.
This is much bolder than when Sanders traded Laettner to help Garnett.
Whitman is very uncomfortable now, the tactical system he created was broken like this.
When the Timberwolves selected Yi Jianlian this year, he was very excited.
Just as excited as the Timberwolves selected Garnett back then.
Now everyone says that Garnett was trained by Sanders.
There is nothing wrong with this statement in general.
But people who say this will never pay attention to Sanders as the Timberwolves who entered after him.
When Sanders entered the Timberwolves, he and Garnett were already in the Timberwolves.
There is no doubt that his credit for the Timberwolves and Garnett has been taken away by Sanders.
For these credits, he actually didn't care that much.
After being appointed as the head coach by the Timberwolves, he supported Gay and his youngsters without any hesitation to drive away veteran players like Ricky Davis.
He didn't want to fight for the credit of the past. After Garnett left the Timberwolves, these credits have no meaning.
Didn't Sanders himself leave the Timberwolves for the Pistons?
For him, he just wants to create another Garnett!
The appearance of Yi Jianlian made him see such hope.
As one of the people who brought up Garnett.
Of course he knew that Yi Jianlian and Garnett were incomparable in talent.
Garnett has incredible talent.
He should have achieved much better.
But because of Garnett's own personality and Sanders' mistakes in using Garnett, Garnett's achievements did not meet the expectations of his talent.
This has always been something that he regrets very much.
Also because of such things, he once left the Timberwolves briefly in the middle.
He can understand that Sanders has his own considerations in using Garnett.
He also knew that with Garnett's character, it was impossible for Garnett to accept his position in the tactical system.
In his tactical system that has been painstakingly studied for ten years, this omnipotent power forward on the offensive end needs to blur the core position.
It is not so much a core as an all-around support.
Just like Yi Jianlian's role now.
When cooperating with Guy, Guy is the master and Yi Jianlian is the assistant.
When working with Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson is the master and Yi Jianlian is the assistant.
When cooperating with Randy Foye, Randy Foye is the master and Yi Jianlian is the assistant.
Even when cooperating with Ilyasova, Yi Jianlian was a restraining role.
It is precisely for this reason that Garnett may be the strongest core of this tactical system, but Yi Jianlian is definitely the most suitable and perfect core.
His comprehensiveness on the offensive end, his humble character, his willingness to work hard for the improvement of his strength, and even his willingness to make sacrifices for the entire team, all of these perfectly fit his tactical system.
In the NBA, it is impossible for any player who can become the core of his tactical system to play as a support willingly!
Only Yi Jianlian is willing to take on such a role.
This is why he admires Yi Jianlian so much. Before Yi Jianlian grows stronger, he can't wait to experiment with his tactical system with Yi Jianlian as the core.
The results of the experiment also made him very satisfied.
His offensive tactical system, because of the overall strength of the Timberwolves players, has not been able to bring more victories to the team, but the performance of the Timberwolves players has allowed him to see the future of this tactical system.
Whitman has always known that his tactical system is not truly invincible.
It is only because everyone does not know the key points of this tactical system that they find it incredible and difficult to crack.
Whitman has always known that before Yi Jianlian grows up, it will be difficult for this tactical system not to be cracked.
This tactical system, which is not yet perfect because the core is not good enough, will definitely be cracked.
But Whitman really didn't expect it to come so soon.
And the teams and people to crack are still the Sonics and Yes.
Whitman has always felt that even if someone can crack the current tactical system, it should be Garnett of the Celtics and Duncan of the Spurs.
Because in the current NBA power forward position, maybe only these two can completely lock Yi Jianlian.
But now...
Seeing Yes's lover struggling against Yes on the court, Whitman was helpless.
He underestimated the tactical ability of the old coach Nelson.
He also underestimated Yes' strength.
Similarly, there are too many things Yi Jianlian needs to improve.
Strength confrontation, offense with the ball, shooting stability...
If Yi Jianlian wants to be truly undefensible, and his tactical system is truly undefensible, there are really too many things that need to be done.
Whitman doesn't care that other people know that Yi Jianlian is the core of his tactical system.
This is his confidence in Yi Jianlian and his confidence in his tactical system.
When Yi Jianlian is really invincible, when his tactical system is really invincible, even if others know that Yi Jianlian is the core of this tactical system, so what?
Even if Yi Jianlian is not invincible now, if others know that Yi Jianlian is the core of this tactical system, at best they will only target Yi Jianlian more.
It's not that he's arrogant. With Yi Jianlian's current offensive comprehensiveness, there are not many defensive players who can block Yi Jianlian.
In his tactical system, blocking a certain strong point of Yi Jianlian is equivalent to blocking a line of cooperation between Yi Jianlian and his teammates.
If you can't block all of Yi Jianlian's strong points, if you can't completely cut off the cooperation between Yi Jianlian and his teammates, just leave a line so that Yi Jianlian can cooperate with his teammates, and his tactical system can be activated.
Because all the lines that Yi Jianlian cooperates with his teammates are auxiliary roles, the protagonist of the tactics is the teammates, and this teammate can contact other teammates.
"What a great idea!"
Although using Yes to play the fourth position cracked the Timberwolves' offensive system in this game.
But the old Nelson is still full of respect for the Timberwolves' tactical system.
Although he cracked the Timberwolves in this game, he did not crack the Timberwolves' tactics.
If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's current strength confrontation, Yes would not be crushed.
He couldn't even crack the Timberwolves in this game.
This kind of linkage tactical system with tree-like schema with Yi Jianlian as the core is almost unheard of.
No, this is not a tree schema tactical system, this is a spider web tactical system!
Old Nelson is now looking forward to the future of this group of Timberwolves players on the court.
125 to 106, this is the final score of the game. The Seattle SuperSonics finally defeated the Timberwolves by 19 points in the away game.
The entire fourth quarter of this game was garbage time.
From the perspective of American fans, this game was of course played quite ugly.
But for many professionals in the American basketball world, this game is a subversion of their tactical thinking.
Compound tactics are not uncommon in the NBA.
For example, the league's most famous dumping tactics system.
The pot-sweeping tactical system includes the combination of pot-sweeping tactics and breakthrough points and so on.
But they really never thought that compound tactics can be compounded so much.
After defeating the Timberwolves at the Target Center, the Sonics' winning streak reached 12 games.
The current record of the Sonics is 22 wins and 2 losses, still ranking third in the league and tied for first in the league.
For the American media at the scene, they were concerned about the Supersonics' record.
After the Sonics defeated the Timberwolves in the West, they continued to chase the Rockets and the Suns.
But for many Chinese fans at the scene, they didn't pay attention to the fact that the Supersonics continued to put pressure on the Rockets and the Suns.
After the game, they all focused on the matchup between Ye Si and Yi Jianlian.
This game is not the first Chinese derby in the NBA.
But this game is definitely the first time in the NBA that two Chinese players have faced each other for such a long time.
This is definitely an epoch-making game for Chinese basketball.
This can be seen from the reasonable guidance of the sideline commentator Zhang and the crazy shouts of Su Qun.
Although Ye Si beat Yi Jianlian unilaterally from the end of the second quarter to the third quarter, so what?
"On the highest stage of basketball, we finally saw such a direct and desperate collision between two Chinese players!"
"Every moment of the confrontation between Ye Si and Yi Jianlian will be recorded in the annals of Chinese basketball!"
Guidance Zhang always thought that the long-term matchup between two Chinese players on the NBA court was a game between the Rockets and the Timberwolves or the Wizards and the Supersonics.
I really didn't expect it to be the Timberwolves and the Sonics.
Moreover, in this game between the Timberwolves and the Supersonics that has been recorded in the annals of Chinese basketball history, both Yi Jianlian and Ye Si's statistics are quite outstanding.
Yees scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists in 7 of 12 in this game.
Yi Jianlian's data in this game was 22 points and 7 rebounds on 9 of 19 shots.
Yi Jianlian's data in the third quarter was bleak, but the data for the whole game was still very good.
When Director Zhang was crazy, Su Qun on one side could be sure that the statistics of these two people in this game would definitely become the focus of all domestic sports news.
"Yes, next time I will definitely shock you!"
"..."
At the end of the match, Rudy Gay rushed to Ye Si and yelled "angry and unwilling", looking like a defeated villain.
Jess knew it was Rudy Gay's setup.
The purpose, of course, is to get his attention.
But he didn't look at Rudy Gay.
Ye Si's eyes were on Yi Jianlian the whole time.
Ye Si always knew that Yi Jianlian had a good life in the Timberwolves.
But really don't know so well.
The core of the Timberwolves' tactics...
This is the status of him and Yao Ming in their respective teams.
Being stared at by Ye Si, Yi Jianlian felt a little embarrassed.
He originally wanted to perform well in this game.
Unexpectedly, it was blocked directly in the end.
Brother Ye must be very disappointed in me now, right?
As a power forward, even a guard like Ye Ge can't play now.
Yi Jianlian is very confused now.
"It was a good game, so work hard."
After taking a deep look at Yi Jianlian, Ye Si took off his jersey and handed it to Yi Jianlian who was still in a daze.
Looking at the No. 9 Supersonic jersey in his hand and the back of the one leaving, Yi Jianlian was a little confused.
And the Timberwolves teammates around him are also a little confused now.
"Hua Q, Yes's jersey was actually given to Yi!"
It wasn't until Rudy Guy's voice woke them up.
To get the Yes jersey is to get the approval of Yes!
This is one of the NBA's eight urban legends.
Me, recognized?
The jersey is very light, but Yi Jianlian feels as heavy as a mountain.
