Chapter 72: Humphries' choking

The atmosphere in the room has gone from somewhat awkward to now quite harmonious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info: Maybe Coach Atkinson asked for this time that everyone is not comfortable with. After arriving late, I felt a little weird. Everyone drank some hot coffee and chatted. It even feels like the head coach is taking the lead in talking off topic.

At 8:30, the meeting started on time. There are 5 laptops on the table. The temporary assistant coach took a small notebook and was ready to jot down something at any time. The trainers were somewhat at a loss. From the look on his face, he didn't tell us to take anything......

"It's not very hot in the morning. Everybody's done. Let's get started. I think everyone knows why this meeting is taking place today. We have slipped to the bottom three of the East. It feels like our coaching staff has come to Brooklyn to cheat money. Atkinson, who had just spoken, amused everyone.

I barely moved. Maybe it's usually more casual, so we didn't pick a place and sat down casually. The assistant coach of data was called to his side by the manager. On his other side was Mr. Welch, assistant coach of defensive drills. Next to him were Humphries and me. To my right is a muscular trainer. The rest of the people are on the other side.

"Some people might say, look. Who else is there on our team besides Jeremy Lin and López? All of them are either newcomers or inexperienced. But what I want to say is that apart from Chen, our coaching staff is not young. And the brilliance of each team also came from this time. As soon as everyone's laughter got up, they immediately became serious again.

"Is there anything you'd like to post? Let's hear it. It's okay, I'll put all of our players in their beds. Everyone laughed.

"At the moment, I'm the only one on our team as a defensive assistant coach. The rest of the day I talked to Atkinson about the team's defensive issues. I would say that we still let the opponent score too many points so far. Welch said.

"Well, go on," the boss reminded.

"I'm done." Everyone suddenly laughed, and the atmosphere at the scene was not bad. I looked up and smiled and glanced at Welch. Make sure he's not possessed by Bojan anymore.

"Don't be restrained, let's talk about it and come up with your own ideas. As you know, I have one vote to decide the overall tactical play of our team. It's a big deal that I'm going to leave next year. But my personal thought is to brainstorm a bit. What might it be, or maybe a new idea? ”

"I, I'll say a few words. I am the assistant coach of data management recruited by our team, and I am responsible for the personal data of our team's players. There are a lot of stats in our squad. I might as well tell you about it here," the data assistant looked at the computer, as if to confirm something.

"It's true that we've been targeted by a lot of teams on the defensive end. But like Egidios' rebounds and Battinger's three-pointers, Daniels' individual breakthrough ability is remarkable. These aspects have good data performance. ”

"Well, that's good." The coach said gently.

"I want to say a few words. I'm the trainer for our team. I can say that the salary offered to me by your boss this season has made me satisfied, and I have a vision for the future. Not as much as Jeremy Lin, though. It's not as good as the coaches, but I'm quite satisfied. I would say that a lot of our equipment has been refurbished. But the intensity of the training did not keep up. ”

"Well, go ahead." Atkinson listened with interest to the trainer, who looked a little fierce but spoke rationally about his opinion.

"I feel like I've been in the NBA for all my years. I coached some of the stars like Rose, Paul, Pierce, Tracy when I was younger, and I watched them work with intensity and got involved. I don't think our players can compare to the superstars. But it is still necessary to strengthen the training. I don't think the intensity of our team's defensive training is enough, and Lopez, Greaves and Jeremy Lin are okay in that regard. ”

"Thank you very much, I'll think about that!" The coach said very seriously.

"Well, I feel like I'm worth the paycheck." The trainer's words met the manager's affirmative gaze. Then there was a brief silence.

"It seems that everyone has said a lot of their thoughts. I'll talk about mine too. Atkinson clicked quickly with the mouse.

"There were players who reported that they were playing uncomfortably. Judging by their data, it doesn't play to their strengths. So that's one thing. Secondly, after my exchanges with Humphries and Chen Yinan. Our next tactics will focus on fast breaks! Let's all run! There will probably be more times when three defenders will be left on the pitch. And we're going to introduce elevator door tactics. Welch and I and the trainers will talk further to strengthen our defence. ”

"Coach, I didn't bring up the elevator door tactics. Chen Yinan said it, right? Atkinson, I don't think this tactic is up to par! ”

"Well, Humphries, you go on." Humphries' sudden gesture and words caught my attention, and I turned my face to listen to his thoughts.

"Coach, don't you think it's ridiculous to use this tactic in our team? This tactic has its drawbacks. First of all, it's easy to get a defensive cover foul. And even if I pass this level, I want to ask, do we have characters like Curry and Thompson on our team? Humphries, assistant coach, suddenly became eerily quiet in the room.

"Well, that's good. The proposer of this tactic is indeed Coach Chen Yinan, Chen, tell me your thoughts on this tactic. After the coach finished speaking, he and everyone turned their attention to this place.

"Okay." I didn't expect Humphries to suddenly question my idea of bringing in tactics. And the tone is very unfriendly. This made me a little uncomfortable. There was a pause immediately.

"That's right. At the moment, our team is almost the same as other teams in terms of attack. We also focused on our role players. This is probably one of the big reasons why our team can't win games. There are drawbacks to this tactic, but if played properly. It's going to be a lot of power in the game! ”

"Tell me, do we have such players in our team?"

"Yes." I was annoyed by Humphries's unprovoked questioning. Looked directly at him and said.
