Chapter 621: Future Plans, Big Questions
"Sean is a point guard, and while he doesn't look like it, he's going to be a big help on guard this season."
Qin Yang said this when introducing Sean Livingston.
Karen Mok was smiling, and Livingston was very happy to be on the Mavericks.
Qin Yang was silent, and the others didn't dare to target the players.
The atmosphere of the Mavericks is actually good, there are not so many complicated relationships, and the only one who has a direct competition with Livingston is Seth Curry, but Seth Curry's attitude towards Livingston is also very good.
Brother Curry, with high emotional intelligence.
What's more, with Calderon, last season's main backup point guard, gone, the competition for guards isn't that big, and there is no need for Seth Curry to target newcomers.
At the beginning of the dinner, everyone took the meal and moved freely, and some people even went to karaoke after eating something, Al Jefferson has a very average voice, singing like a wolf howling, but he loves it very much.
Others pulled people to play poker, and soon only Qin Yang Nowitzki and the players from the team's coaching staff were left around the table.
"Bruce, is it likely that he will continue to win the championship this season?"
Kuban was eating and asked Qin Yang expectantly.
Qin Yang was stunned, straightened his thoughts, and said:
"Mark, winning the playoffs just past, there was actually a certain amount of serendipity, you should know this. The Heat are tactically flawed, while the Spurs are infighting, and other teams are either immature or too poor, so the team can win the championship without danger, but this season is hard to say. ”
"The Cavaliers' Big Three plus other role players are very strong, this roster is a little stronger than the Heat, and if they meet again in the playoffs, I don't know if the team can play."
The Heat's flaw is that they don't have a three-point shot that can hold the ball on the outside, and they don't have enough offense on the inside.
This made it difficult for James to lead the team alone.
But now the lineup of Kelly Irving and Kevin Love is enough to make up for such shortcomings.
Kevin Love doesn't defend well, but he's strong enough to stand up to Al Jefferson. Kelly Irving's three-point shot is accurate, his breakthrough is extremely sharp, and he is good at attacking with the ball.
James plays a central role, and it can be said that the Cavaliers are a very, very suitable lineup.
If you run in well, it is enough to win the championship.
Qin Yang's words made Kuban a little unhappy.
Then Kuban asked:
"Bruce, if possible, is it possible for the team to trade for another superstar, so that the team's roster will be more complete."
"Forget about the luxury tax, we just want the championship."
Kuban added.
Qin Yang thought for a moment:
"Yes, Kevin told me about it, but he's in Ohrahoma right now, and his contract expires at this time after next, so we don't have a chance before then."
"Well, Dirk's contract expires and there won't be a lot of pressure on the team."
Cuban's face was very relaxed, but when Qin Yang's words came out, Manager Downey's face turned red, think about it, Kevin Durant, Qin Yang, Nowitzki, Rudy Gay, Al Jefferson and others are competing on the same field, so how to play the game, 80 wins in the season?
It's also a little too scary.
…………
At the beginning of October, the team began training camp.
A team's victory in a season is often decided from the very beginning, so the team's training camp and tactical training are very important for the team.
But from the very beginning, the team's training camp ran into problems.
The team's inside starters can be rotated, but the outside starters have run into problems.
Qin Yang undoubtedly occupies one position, and the other two positions are not done well by others.
Cosby is versatile, but the defense is too weak to be a colander.
Cory Brewer has a big problem offensively, with poor shooting ability other than air cuts, and when he's on the court, the team's Princeton tactics are always stuck.
Seth Curry is still very immature, not stable on the offensive end, and the defensive end is the worst for the Mavericks.
Vince Carter is old, and if he really wants to start for a long time in a game, not to mention wasting his physical strength, it is also not good for developing rookies.
The team's biggest problem is Rudy Gay.
When Qin Yang was on the Kings team, Rudy Gay and Qin Yang were not very compatible, and the two had some conflicts because of their position and ball possession.
But in the end, Rudy Gay took the initiative to lower his position, Qin Yang took the initiative, and the Kings won the championship.
But over the past two seasons, Rudy Gay has been at the heart of the team's perimeter with a lot of possession and is clearly unprepared for a sudden change in tactics.
So much so that during the team's tactical offensive and defensive drills, Rudy Gay made mistakes again and again.
"Rudy, run, watch the run!"
"Air cut, if you want to go to the basket for this ball, you can get a pass and attack the basket directly."
"Follow the defenders, change the defense in time, leave your people alone, Bruce will help you out, what you need to do is defend the other end."
"Hurry up and pass the ball, just cover the runs."
"Don't have, if there's a good opportunity, just shoot directly, three-pointer, your three-point shot has to be practiced, the current three-point shooting rate is too low."
……
The one who is coached the most in the team every day is Rudy Gay.
The rest of the players are veterans and have had little problem adapting to tactics for a season, all they need to do is get more comfortable with their position in the team.
As for Livingston, as a point guard, the task is relatively simple, the ball quotient is very high, and the run-in with the team is very fast.
It's just Rudy Gay, who keeps making mistakes.
In the past two years, Rudy Gay has developed a series of bad tempers in the Kings, such as careless defense, extremely slow defense, poor offensive selection, and low offensive efficiency.
These problems cannot be solved overnight, and the only way is to train slowly.
Coach Downey couldn't help but shake his head when he watched the training on the sidelines:
"Rick, I think we should make a offer for Houston's Chandler Parsons, who will be a little bit better than Rudy."
Coach Carlisle shook his head:
"Donny, Rudy's talent is good, Bruce's advice is not wrong, if Parsons really doesn't focus on basketball, it will become a garbage contract in the future, but Rudy Gay, even if he can't fit into the starter, is not much worse off as a core in bench time."
Coach Carlisle naturally has his own plans.
Rudy Gay's inability to fit perfectly into the starting line-up is a problem, but taking 10,000 steps back, there is really no way, so let Rudy Gay be the core of the bench.
The Mavericks' bench will be surprisingly strong at that point.
But this is no choice, using Rudy substitute in his prime, which is a bit too extravagant, after all, this substitute has an annual salary of 15 million dollars.
For the next ten days, the team was intensively conducting tactical drills.
Rudy Gay's progress is still not significant.
Tactical training is often not something that can be trained in a week or two.
And in the opening game of the regular season, the Mavericks will face a strong opponent.
