The training before the regular season is actually very boring.

The Mavericks' tactics have been fixed, and the small-ball tactics and Princeton have been integrated into some of the interior offense, in this case, what each player needs to do is relatively limited, and everyone must play with Qin Yang as the core.

James Ennis and PJ Tucker are okay, both are role players and are used to playing, but they still need more work on running and covering, and there are basically no problems.

The most troublesome is Nikola Jokic. Is Jokic strong?

It's really strong, but Jokic's weaknesses are obvious, speed and strength are average on the inside, and the defense is not very strong, barely above the level.

In addition, Jokic is not good at blocking and covering tactics, preferring to play with the ball on his own and then play with the ball to his teammates or attack on his own.

It's a superstar shot.

Jokic is a little embarrassed to play superstar tactics.

A newcomer needs to cooperate with the whole team tactically, unless that person is Jordan, or LeBron James, otherwise a newcomer cannot have such treatment.

If you change to another strong team, maybe Jokic will be buried for a while.

However, the Mavericks are tactically more transformative, and an interior line that can respond and tear up space will help the team a lot. Therefore, when it comes to tactical training, Jokic gets the attention of the team.

Even to some extent, Qin Yang had to give up the ball.

Because when Jokic and Qin Yang played blocking and dismantling tactics, they cooperated very poorly.

Jokic is the kind of interior who can't play without the ball and can't play blocking, which makes it difficult for him to cooperate well with Qin Yang.

Although the game has not yet started, the appearance of Jokic has already left the team with mixed feelings.

Coaching staff meetings.

Both Qin Yang and Nowitzki participated.

"Regarding Jokic, we need to discuss how to arrange the bench time!" Everyone on Coach Carlisle said.

But this meeting was mainly aimed at Qin Yang and Dirk.

Within the coaching staff, it has been talked about almost, such a good seedling, if it is cultivated well, a proper interior superstar.

With Jokic here, the Mavericks' interior line will be stable in the next ten years.

That's why the coaching staff is in such a hurry.

Although a newcomer is only twenty years old, he has become the second tactical support point after entering the league, second only to superstar Qin Yang.

Dirk didn't have any opinions, and his performance was very flat:

"I don't have a problem with it, Nikola's talent is outstanding, develop him well, maybe in the future when I retire, the team will not be short of inside lines."

Dirk won two more championships, and his mentality was already very peaceful.

Dirk has nothing else to think about other than enjoying the rest of his time with the Mavericks, data? Playing time? Team possession? None of that matters.

Dirk is a veteran in the locker room.

Qin Yang's opinion is a bit big:

'Nikola Jokic is really a good player, but the problem is that his tactical flaws are also obvious, and if I'm his opponent, it's easy to target him and ...... We may not be able to keep him. ”

"I'd recommend trying to develop Jokic, but don't be overly arrogant."

Coach Carlisle was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

When the meeting was over, Dirk quietly grabbed Qin Yang and came to a place where there was no one: "Bruce, to be honest, are you worried about your future status on the team?" ”

Qin Yang glanced at Dirk, with a helpless expression:

"Dirk, do you think anyone in the current league can compete with me for the team boss?"

"Huh!"

Dirk was stunned and silent.

Qin Yang continued: "Actually, I don't think Jokic has a problem, it's just that on the facts, his offense and strategy are very strong, but the defense is still lacking, and it is easy to be targeted, maybe in a weak team, if you have the ball, you can brush up amazing statistics, but in Dallas, it doesn't make any sense." ”

"Okay, I got it."

Dirk covered his face, a little depressed.

Qin Yang patted Dirk and turned to leave.

It's all in plain sight.

Dirk turned around and told Qin Yang's opinion to the team's coaching staff and the boss, and the coaching staff and the boss exhaled lightly. To be honest, Jokic is very good, but if you really want to compare with Qin Yang, the Mavericks don't have any suspense, and they will trade Jokic away.

After all, this kind of choice, fools know what to do.

But that's how it was discussed within the team.

But tactically, Jokic is in a good position.

Once Jokic is on the court, most of the time, he will be the master of the team's ball, he is 25 years old, he has played in Europe for a long time, he is very mature in all aspects of technology and mentality, and he can almost seamlessly connect with the NBA.

In this case, the Mavericks' tactics this year turned out to be a significant change.

October 28th.

The Mavericks host the Suns.

It was the opening game of the new season, and the team had to find a championship ring, so the whole home court was in a boil.

The Mavericks, who had a ring in hand, got a buff bonus, and the Suns, who had played in the first five minutes, called a timeout.

The lead is just too big.

Coming back from the timeout, the Mavericks also made a substitution.

Al Jefferson was replaced and replaced by Jokic, and Korey Brewer was replaced by PJ Tucker.

As a result, by the time the Mavericks attacked, the team's tactics changed again.

Qin Yang passed the half court and directly handed the ball to Jokic, who stood still in the middle distance, took the ball and shot directly, and hit the shot steadily.

Jokic's projection is pretty good.

Not only that, after that, Qin Yang and PJ Tucker covered, and Jokic had three assists in a row, directly overturning the Mavericks' home court.

Mavericks Home Commentary:

"It's unbelievable, five minutes into it, five points, three assists and two rebounds, which is perhaps the scariest rookie performance in 10 years."

"Yes, Jokic was a big surprise, and what was even more surprising was the Mavericks' tactics that they dared to play like that. With a newcomer as the core of the tactics, the Mavericks really dare to change! ”

Ten minutes into the first quarter, Qin Yang went down.

When Qin Yang was on the court, although Jokic was the core of the team, Qin Yang's deterrence was too strong, and the ball involuntarily moved closer to Qin Yang's side.

Qin Yang scored 16 points in the first quarter, shooting 7 of 8, and the efficiency was a mess.

In addition, there were 3 rebounds and 1 steal, and no assists.

The assists are all Jokic's stats.

After Qin Yang left the court, there was no suspense about Jokic at the core of the team.

The rest of the team plays as the tactical core of Jokic.

Rudy Gay, PJ Tucker, Seth Curry and others played well, and more importantly, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the scene erupted into loud cheers.

Jokic played 33 minutes in Game 1 and had a triple-double of 18 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds.
